Uchiha Clan Compound, the people representing the highest authority of the Uchiha Clan gathered together once again.
Uchiha Masanobu said in a deep voice, "Everyone, the Third Hokage has gone to see Qi-kun. He is currently at Qi-kun's home, having a private conversation with him."
An irascible Uchiha elder said excitedly, "We must hurry over there at once! Who knows what Hiruzen Sarutobi is plotting? We absolutely cannot let Qi-kun come to harm!!!"
Then, that impulsive Uchiha elder was promptly suppressed.
Next, Uchiha Setsuna, once the most radical of them all, spoke calmly. "Everyone, I don't think you need to dwell on this or react so strongly. Just as Qi-kun has brought tremendous changes to the Uchiha Clan these past days, we should also trust Qi-kun."
"With Qi-kun's wisdom, he has most likely anticipated that the Third Hokage would seek him out for a private conversation. And since Qi-kun has never specifically mentioned this matter to us, it means he must already have a plan and knows how to handle it."
"Therefore, all we need to do is wait for the result with peace of mind."
Calm and composed, trusting Uchiha Qi far more than he trusted himself, Uchiha Setsuna's behavior displayed blind faith in Uchiha Qi. He could even fill in the reasoning for any action Qi took on his own.
After hearing this, the Uchiha higher-ups all nodded, indicating their acceptance of the explanation.
However, Uchiha Fugaku, who did not blindly submit to Uchiha Setsuna's "authority," revealed a subtle look in his eyes.
In the view of the young clan head who was about to formally take office, Uchiha Setsuna's trust in Uchiha Qi was simply too blind. Compared with his former style of trusting only himself and believing everyone else was narrow-minded, this was merely a shift
