Chapter 8: Overturned
As the Uchiha decision-makers arrived, medical ninjas also rushed over, bringing simple beds and medical equipment to begin treating Shisui and Kazuki on-site.
With so many important Uchiha figures present, all of the clan's available fighting strength was here. There was no safer place than this.
The important figures also wanted to know the firsthand news.
This included both their injuries and the investigation results.
Furthermore, they had another layer of concern.
If they could be attacked even here, would they be safe in the clan's hospital?
It was better to treat them on the spot.
Setsuna grinned.
"If Elder Setsuna didn't do it, then it wasn't him."
The Hawk Faction's words and actions were becoming increasingly aggressive, having tried to instigate war several times to reclaim the Uchiha's rightful place within Konoha.
To be useful to the village, not the clan.
"What do you mean?" Setsuna glared at Muto, laughing in extreme anger. "You mean to say that even with five Jonin, I couldn't handle Uchiha Kazuki?"
Let alone five Jonin...
"It better not be!" Muneyoshi said word by word. "Otherwise, I'll make you understand the wrath of us so-called Dove Faction members!"
Members of the Konoha Military Police Force began a more thorough investigation of the surrounding area.
And certainly not Naka Shrine!
There were too many people around.
This was the perfect opportunity to disrupt the Uchiha's existing structure.
Damn it, do you know who that was? That's an Uchiha Jonin!
Especially since he disliked killing!
Even during wartime, he avoided killing whenever possible!
"What did you say?!"
Moreover, if he remembered correctly, he should have a good relationship with Kazuki, often speaking on Kazuki's behalf externally.
He was enraged to the extreme.
The children they watched grow up!
The most talented new generation of the Uchiha clan!
It even shattered Uchiha Muneyoshi's reason!
Muneyoshi cast a cold gaze at Uchiha Setsuna.
Although Kazuki liked to act recklessly, he had repeatedly stopped the Hawk Faction Uchiha from their misdeeds.
Kazuki's strength was good, and his talent was high, but in Setsuna's view, he was still too young.
At one point, he even believed that the Uchiha's power was too great, which was why the clan was targeted by the village. Therefore, he proposed a reduction in the Konoha Military Police Force.
"Muto? What do you know?"
He was deeply trusted by the Second Hokage and made significant contributions to Konoha's development.
Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't even harm him, merely staring coldly at him for a while, leaving him alive to continue causing trouble.
Shisui and Kazuki were descendants of Kagami Uchiha.
The atmosphere once again escalated to a new height.
"Yes!" Uchiha Muto said without hesitation. "Clan head and elders, you may not know this, but Kazuki and I have a good relationship. I know some of his secrets. Kazuki... has awakened a special Sharingan beyond the Three Tomoe, the Mangekyo!"
They had all rebelled against Hiruzen Sarutobi in the past.
This was absolutely unforgivable for the Uchiha.
Unfortunately, the clan head's authority was rendered useless at this moment.
Uchiha Setsuna was naturally impulsive and acted recklessly.
Not the Jonin of those ordinary ninja clans within Konoha!
An Uchiha Jonin could easily defeat two ordinary Konoha Jonin.
Very good!
In the past, Fugaku and Muneyoshi had to join forces to suppress him.
He awakened the Three Tomoe at a young age and became a Jonin.
They had all followed Uchiha Madara and were two generations senior to Uchiha Fugaku.
The few of them turned their heads to look and frowned slightly.
Now, their core members!
He opened his mouth to scold, but it was too late to stop them.
What would these two say in their anger?
This was exactly what he wanted!
He had long been displeased with the Dove Faction's behavior and couldn't wait for a direct confrontation.
Uchiha Muto was a well-known genius within the Uchiha Clan.
To that end, they didn't hesitate to get into a big fight with the other party.
Kirigakure has one Byakugan, how many have you seen with a Sharingan?
He carried the youthful vigor of a young man.
Muneyoshi also said coldly, "Clan Head, which of my words were baseless? I just want the truth!"
This was not the assembly hall.
"It shouldn't be Elder Setsuna."
If the two elders started arguing here, the trouble would be immense.
At this moment, the Uchiha were like a volcano on the verge of eruption!
"Damn it, damn it!"
Shisui goes without saying.
These two old geezers were getting riled up.
He wasn't afraid of death, but he absolutely could not tolerate such humiliation!
He was a proud Uchiha!
And so!
An absolute taboo!
Although the Uchiha Clan did not possess the "Cage Bird Seal," their protection of their eyes was by no means inferior to the Hyuga.
Not a Jonin, and he wouldn't dare to interrupt when the Clan Head and elders were speaking.
The Hawk Faction has no heir!
The Dove Faction has two!
Was it you?
"Hmph!" Uchiha Setsuna snorted coldly and said, "Muneyoshi, don't stare at me like that, I won't do such a thing."
Setsuna let out a sneer and said, "Anger? You've been docile for so long, do you even remember what a fight feels like? Can you still even hold a kunai? You house pigeons!"
Many members of the Hawk Faction were both angered and fearful of Kazuki, why?
He got beaten up!
Seeing Shisui and Kazuki's expressions, almost all the Uchiha were worked up, their Sharingan unconsciously appearing in their pupils.
He was a handsome young Uchiha, about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old.
Most of the Dove Faction members admired Kagami Uchiha, and centered around his ideology, they sought ways for the clan to integrate into the village and live together.
Even Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage, and Danzō of Ninjutsu of Darkness, held Kagami in high regard.
Fugaku's expression was indifferent.
Can't you see the situation?
The Uchiha are already chaotic enough, and now this has happened. I'm not asking for your help, but can you at least not make things worse?
His personality became increasingly extreme!
He was one of the few people within the Uchiha Clan who was recognized by Konoha.
You want to live a cowardly life, but he absolutely won't!
Setsuna coldly glanced at Fugaku, and with a smile that didn't reach his eyes, he said, "The Clan Head is already imposing a gag order? Next, will you seal this old man's home?"
At least they were here!
These words stunned everyone present.
Several earth-shattering roars sounded out simultaneously.
Uchiha Muneyoshi, the representative of the Dove Faction, had a ferocious expression.
At this moment, this usually peaceful old man erupted with astonishing killing intent, causing both Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Setsuna to look his way.
Eye gouging!
He was an elder of the Uchiha, of the same generation as Uchiha Setsuna.
Icy killing intent spread, freezing the air.
If you won't let him speak, who the hell do you think you are?
"If that's the case..."
Uchiha Itachi, who had been by Shisui and Kazuki's side taking care of them, seemed to recall something upon hearing this. He abruptly turned his head, his expression one of horror.
The result!
Shisui and Kazuki were not only Kagami's descendants, but in Muneyoshi's eyes, they were also the inheritors of Kagami's will.
He disliked fighting; it was merely a personality trait, unrelated to his strength.
Fugaku's face was grim.
All of this reflected Kazuki's true nature.
A voice suddenly interjected.
However, Uchiha Setsuna viewed this as a deep humiliation.
"Elder Setsuna! Elder Muneyoshi!" Fugaku's gaze sharpened as he spoke in a low voice, "Do not speak carelessly."
They were old.
All eyes turned towards them.
Uchiha Muto hesitated for a moment before saying, "Kazuki's strength is considerable. As far as I know, some of the Uchiha Jonin are on missions, while others are on patrol. Elder Setsuna can mobilize no more than five Jonin, including himself."
Damn it!
Did they know how many wars he had experienced?
He had even followed Uchiha Madara and fought head-on against the Senju clan!
He was a hero of Konoha!
Universally acknowledged!
Among the three Uchiha factions, the Dove Faction's influence was by no means weak.
Kagami Uchiha was a disciple of the Second Hokage. In the words of the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, Kagami was someone who transcended the narrow-minded thinking of 'clan.'
He also frequently went to care for Konoha's orphans.
Crimson Sharingan eyes spun in their sockets.
He usually favored a policy of appeasement.
It had to be said, Hiruzen Sarutobi in his youth truly possessed some of the spirit of a shinobi warrior.
Of course, it had ultimately failed.
Including the Uchiha who had been taught a lesson by Kazuki.
To be severely injured and have their eyes gouged out in a core area of the clan compound!
This was challenging the very bottom line of the entire Uchiha.
Uchiha Itachi's heart sank to the abyss.
This time, something truly major was going to happen.
