Why the Uchiha Clan Was Wiped Out

This left Hashirama Senju utterly unable to make sense of it. What exactly were these descendants doing?

Fugaku Uchiha: Heh heh! It all started with the Second Hokage! Ever since the Second Hokage took power, he began suppressing our Uchiha Clan. Later, when his disciple took office—the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi—the suppression of our Uchiha Clan only grew worse!

Back then, our Uchiha Clan and the Senju Clan founded Konoha together. But what about now? Under the leadership of Konoha's Hokage, our Uchiha Clan was wiped out! And you, as the Second Hokage, still had the nerve to stand there making sarcastic remarks?

You were unworthy of being Hokage!!!

Tobirama Senju: And who the hell are you? How dare you speak to me like that?

Fugaku Uchiha: I was the last clan head of the Uchiha Clan! Let me tell you, I never betrayed the village! I was never a Rogue Ninja either!

Madara Uchiha: What a useless piece of trash! And you still had the nerve to talk? The Uchiha Clan was destroyed in your hands? You really were nothing but a complete loser! Though I no longer had much to do with the Uchiha Clan, I still couldn't help but curse you out, you worthless bastard!

Fugaku Uchiha: This incompetent descendant had brought shame upon his ancestor!

Madara Uchiha: Then explain it properly! Who wiped out the Uchiha Clan? Was it the Third Hokage? Or that Danzo you mentioned?

Izuna Uchiha: Yeah, damn it, tell me who destroyed the Uchiha Clan! I'll dig up his ancestral graves and scatter every last bit of his family's ashes!

Faced with Madara Uchiha and Izuna Uchiha's questions, Fugaku remained silent for a long while.

Fugaku Uchiha: The decision to wipe out our Uchiha Clan came from Konoha's higher-ups, but they weren't the ones who carried it out...

Madara Uchiha: Why the hell were you hemming and hawing? I asked who did it! Just say it already! Why were you acting like such an old woman?

Fugaku Uchiha: This... The one who did it was... was... my eldest son!

The moment Fugaku said that, the group fell silent again. No one could understand what kind of madness this was.

Someone from the Uchiha Clan wiped out the Uchiha Clan?

What kind of nonsense was that?

Were you kidding me? Your eldest son? The young clan head of the Uchiha Clan? And then he wiped out the Uchiha Clan? Fuck, not even cartoons would dare write something like that!

There were plenty of formidable people in the Ninja World, and plenty of formidable people who turned on their own villages, but someone who wiped out his entire own clan?

What kind of monster was that?

Izuna Uchiha: What did you say? Your son wiped out the Uchiha Clan? Weren't you the Uchiha Clan's head? Then wasn't your son the young clan head?

Fugaku Uchiha: Yes...

Izuna Uchiha: What kind of bullshit were you spouting? Did you even hear yourself? Were you sure you weren't still asleep? Were you talking in your sleep? Were you fucking insane?

Madara Uchiha: So what you were saying was that the Uchiha Clan was destroyed by one of its own? And it was their own young clan head who did it? Were you sure you weren't joking with me?

Madara Uchiha and Izuna Uchiha were completely dumbfounded. Neither of them could comprehend how this person's brain worked. Why would he personally destroy his own clan?

Even when Madara Uchiha had been abandoned by the entire Uchiha Clan back then, he had never considered wiping out his own clan. Yet somehow, such an incredible figure had emerged from the Uchiha Clan!

Just how much virtue had the Uchiha Clan accumulated to raise such an outstanding descendant?

Fugaku Uchiha: Because the Uchiha Clan's ideals clashed with Konoha's higher-ups, and those higher-ups constantly suppressed the Uchiha Clan, my eldest son, Itachi Uchiha, sided with Konoha's leadership. That was what led to this tragedy...

Tobirama Senju: That was fucking absurd. That's why I said the Uchiha Clan was full of lunatics! They could even lay hands on members of their own clan! Just as I thought, you Uchiha had truly peculiar ways of thinking!

Madara Uchiha: Bastard! What the fuck did you say? Come out and fight me one-on-one!

Tobirama Senju: You think I give a damn about you?!

Madara Uchiha: One-on-one!

Hashirama Senju: Tobirama! Say less!

Tobirama Senju: This was fucking hilarious! The mighty Uchiha Clan was wiped out by its own clansman? That was ridiculous! Just thinking about it was thrilling!

Fugaku Uchiha: Hmph! It was because Konoha's higher-ups were so good at brainwashing people! Preaching that so-called Will of Fire every day! They even managed to turn my son against us! I had to admire that fine disciple of yours!

Tobirama Senju: Hmph! Who knew what the hell he was thinking? Who knew if his brain was broken? Maybe he went mad and decided to slaughter his whole clan! Don't blame Konoha's higher-ups! I thought there was simply something wrong with his head!

Shisui Uchiha: Second Hokage, Itachi wasn't a lunatic! He had his reasons for doing this! Deep down, Itachi yearned for peace and stability!

Tobirama Senju: Brat, you were an Uchiha too? And who were you?

Shisui Uchiha: Actually, I had quite a connection with you, Second Hokage. I was a descendant of Kagami Uchiha!

Tobirama Senju: So you were Kagami's descendant. Back then, Kagami was quite outstanding.

Shisui Uchiha: I was also the one who had been guiding Itachi, making him long for peace.

Fugaku Uchiha: ...You... Sigh... Shisui, how exactly did you die? The clan had always been suspicious about the cause of your death. I never expected that you, too, were a spy cultivated by the village...

Shisui Uchiha: I'm sorry, Clan Head. The Uchiha Clan's ambitions were simply too great! Such ambitions would only bring harm to Konoha! As for how I died, let's leave it at that. It was already in the past...

Fugaku Uchiha: Yes, it was all in the past. We were all dead now, after all. But no matter what, you and Itachi were both true geniuses of our Uchiha Clan!

Madara Uchiha: Enough, shut up! You two were a pair of fucking idiots, and you still called yourselves geniuses? You'd disgraced the Uchiha Clan completely! So what if your ambitions were great? Did great ambition automatically bring instability? Having ambition proved you had strength, and strength brought greater stability! You were all such fucking idiots. Seriously, I didn't even want to say anything more to you!
