Hearing the explosive news from Uchiha Gen, the Uchiha Jonin attending the Clan Meeting immediately erupted into an uproar.
"I knew it! I suspected Konoha High Command had assassinated Shisui, but I never thought it was true!"
They did not suspect Uchiha Gen of making things up. Over the past few years, Konoha High Command had made no effort to hide its targeting and discrimination against the Uchiha clan.
Under such circumstances, it was entirely possible for them to do anything to suppress the Uchiha clan.
Of course, even if Uchiha Gen had been making it up, it would not have mattered.
After being suppressed for so long, the Uchiha clan's ninja had long since reached their limit. They had not begun plotting a coup just yesterday or the day before.
Now that Uchiha Gen, this newly emerged Uchiha powerhouse, also intended to stage a coup, their goals naturally aligned. Even if they died in battle, they would not continue living so humiliatingly in Konoha.
"Clan Head, give the order! We must seek justice for Shisui-kun and Gen-kun!"
"Uchiha ninja can die on the battlefield, but they must never die within the village!"
"Storm the Hokage Building! Kill the inherently evil Old Man Shimura!"
Within the Clan Shrine, the crowd was fired up.
Under normal circumstances, this would have been when Uchiha Fugaku, as clan head, stepped forward to smooth things over. But this time, he did no such thing and instead issued his orders decisively.
"Three-Tomoe Elite Jonin, depart with me for the Hokage Building. Everyone else will remain behind to protect the clan."
Uchiha Fugaku spoke in an icy tone.
The coming battle would be incredibly intense. Anyone below quasi-Kage-level without a Three-Tomoe Sharingan had no need to participate, while the clan also needed people to guard it.
