Chapter 7: The Eve of Shisui's Death
Naruto's 58th year, autumn.
Time flies, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past six months, the situation in Konoha was generally stable, but in fact there was an undercurrent.
The exclusion from Konoha became more and more serious, and the situation of the Uchiha clan became more and more difficult.
Uchiha clan land.
Because of the Nine-Tails incident, the top management of Konoha adjusted the layout of the various clans in Konoha Village and drove the Uchiha clan to the fringes.
And put it in a position of checks and balances and surveillance by major families.
At this time, in a secret meeting room in the Uchiha clan, several powerful elders of the Uchiha clan, Chief Fugaku and Bai Feng and other top Uchiha masters were staying together to discuss matters.
An elder sighed: "Ever since the Kyuubi Rebellion a few years ago, someone saw the Kyuubi's eyes reflecting the Sharingan, our Uchiha clan's life has become more and more difficult!"
"Other than the Uchiha ancestor Uchiha Madara, who can control the Nine-Tails? But the ancestor has died in the Valley of the End. We Uchiha have not had a strong man like the ancestor in so many years. How can we do this? thing?"
"Who knows? But the high-level officials in Konoha suspected that it was us. I really feel that they went too far. Now the high-level officials in Konoha are marginalizing me, Uchiha, more and more seriously!"
"A few months ago, we asked Itachi to join the ANBU, just to let him deliver messages for us, but now there is no sound at all, and Konoha's persecution has become even more serious!"
"I think Uchiha Itachi must have rebelled, otherwise why were so many of our arrangements known to the Third Generation and others, and then cracked them one by one."
"How can it be repaired?"
"Alas, where should we Uchiha go?"
…
Bai Feng sat in the corner and listened quietly to these elders of the Uchiha clan. They expressed their anger towards the high-level officials of Konoha and their worries about the future of the Uchiha clan!
He didn't speak or give any advice.
Discussions between these people have become the norm recently. They complain every time, but they can't do anything they really want to do every time.
At this time, Setsuna Uchiha, the hawk of the Uchiha clan and the great elder of Uchiha, stood up and said:
"There is no way to continue like this. I still say what I said, launch a coup and overthrow Sarutobi's rule, then our life will become better."
Normally at this time, when Uchiha Setsuna said this, the conference room was silent. Except for a few hawkish players who would echo, most of them would remain silent.
But this time it was different. As soon as Setsuna finished speaking, someone immediately echoed,
"Yes, launch a coup! We are also one of the founders of Konoha, why should we be excluded and suppressed!"
"We Uchiha have been on our own for so many years, not because of the original contract. If the first generation did this, we can't help it, but is he worthy of Sarutobi?"
"I've long been unhappy with that old guy Sarutobi. Why do you think he's the strongest Hokage since the creation of Konoha? Damn!"
""
While most of the clan members were venting their anger, Fugaku Uchiha, who was sitting in the center, remained silent.
Putting aside Uchiha Itachi's problem for the moment, he naturally knows the current difficulties of the Uchiha clan.
During the Nine-Tails Rebellion, Fugaku wanted to bring people to support, but was stopped by Danzo Sandai and others. He was vaguely aware of the consequences.
Later, he tried his best to ease the conflict between the two, but unfortunately he was getting further and further away from his goal, and the conflict between Konoha and Uchiha became more and more serious.
Now looking at the words and attitudes of these elders, Fugaku understood that because of the persecution of Konoha Village, the conflict between the Uchiha clan and Konoha was in an irreconcilable situation.
A large part of the clan was shaken and began to think of launching a coup!
But, how could the Uchiha clan defeat Konoha Village?
Not to mention the Sarutobi clan headed by the Third, as well as the escorts and ANBU controlled by him, as well as the roots controlled by Danzo, there are also many big clans in the village, such as Hinata and Inokacho.
Although it is not as good as Konoha, it is still very strong and should not be underestimated.
Now the relationship between the Uchiha clan and these families is very bad. If there is a fight, you will know who they are helping.
Fortunately, he hid the news that he had activated the Mangekyō Sharingan.
Otherwise, if the eagles like Uchiha want to launch a coup, they will no longer talk in the dark and prepare silently, but directly incite the tribesmen and start the coup!
But people's hearts are delicate, and now he can no longer control the Uchiha clan.
At this time, someone suddenly said:
"Chief Fugaku, please speak and lead our Uchiha clan to overthrow the three generations of rule and create a Konoha that belongs to Uchiha!"
As soon as Uchiha Fugaku heard this, his headache became even worse.
However, he was silent for a while and then said:
"I have understood everyone's demands. The top management of Konoha has indeed gone too far, but this matter is too important, and I think it needs to be discussed in the long term.
"For example, integrating the power of the entire clan, arrangements for the elderly, weak, women and children, and what should we do if the coup fails."
Uchiha Fugaku's words made most of the people present nod their heads.
Indeed, this kind of thing requires careful arrangements.
At the very least, the old, weak, women and children must be arranged to leave, so that they can work with peace of mind.
Someone else said: "Integrating the power of the whole clan is not a problem within the clan, but there are two people in our clan who are working in the ANBU and working in the hands of that old guy."
Since Uchiha Shisui and later Uchiha Itachi joined the Anbu, the clan's attitude towards them has become subtle.
Fortunately, Shisui did not do anything too extreme, but everyone hated Itachi.
He was a traitor. Everyone didn't say anything openly because his father was the head of the Uchiha clan, but they had scolded him countless times in secret.
"I think there is nothing wrong with brother Shisui. As for Itachi, let's not notify him."
Everyone nodded gently, agreeing to this matter.
After discussing the specific details for a while, the meeting was disbanded, and Bai Feng returned home to continue his self-disciplined life.
The Uchiha coup was a mistake from the beginning, but notifying Shisui was the most wrong decision. Bai Feng almost laughed out loud when he heard this.
How can you tell that Shisui is fine?
But he didn't say anything. The coup was none of his business and would fail anyway.
It's better to be more self-disciplined and you can get the Eternal Mangekyō soon.
If nothing unexpected happens, Uchiha will immediately inform Uchiha Shisui and Shisui will step into the door of the Hokage's office.
Then this traitor will be killed by Danzo and the Uchiha coup will be postponed.
It seems that the night of genocide is not far away.
Sure enough, it is just as Bai Feng expected.
At the door of the Hokage's office.
Uchiha Shisui, who just received the news that Uchiha decided to coup, walked into the office with a heavy heart.
As soon as he saw the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, he knelt on one knee and said in a deep voice:
"Third Hokage, I have an important matter to report."
