Rebellion or Infighting
Many Uchiha Clan Uchiha also saw the signal.
Sensitive and suspicious by nature, they gathered spontaneously without receiving any orders from Fugaku.
Who is it?
Among the many Uchiha, one of the elite Uchiha, skilled Elite Jonin sensory perception, instantly activated his Three-Tomoe Sharingan and looked towards the entrance to the clan's territory.
At the end of the street, a figure is rapidly approaching.
The newcomer wasn't wearing the traditional Uchiha Clan attire, clearly indicating they weren't one of their own. They were also wearing a mask that only revealed their eyes.
Upon hearing this, the man immediately stopped and said, "I am an envoy of the Tsuchikage, here to deliver two items to the Uchiha clan."
"First, the Three-Tomoe Sharingan secret technique: Izanagi, Genjutsu that can transform death into a dream."
The newcomer spoke rapidly, tossing scrolls that had been prepared beforehand to the Uchiha members as he spoke.
On the Uchiha side, some were cautious and didn't accept the scroll, instead using Kunai to knock it away.
Some were eager and immediately took the scroll to read it.
Soon, the Ninjutsu was confirmed to be genuine.
The person who had just thrown the scroll continued, "The second thing is intelligence: Shimura Danzō has contacted the Uchiha traitor who controls the Nine-Tails, and is preparing to annihilate your Uchiha Clan. The operation is imminent."
After he finished speaking, the Uchiha were all stunned; there was too much information in those words.
Is it really the Uchiha who controls the Nine-Tails?
Danzo actually knew that traitor?
Danzo knows that person, yet he keeps using this as an excuse to suppress us?
Danzo knew the information, but what about his close friend, the Danzo Third Hokage? Was he also pretending not to know?
Is Danzo really going to launch Clan Annihilation War his Danzo?
Was Danzo Danzo's idea alone, or the collective idea of Konoha High-ranking officials?
One last question: Is the intelligence reliable?
Before they could even ask a question, the person in front of them turned into a pile of rocks; it turned out he was just a rock clone.
The Uchiha's emotions had just begun to build when they were abruptly interrupted, leaving them feeling extremely uncomfortable. They looked at each other, somewhat at a loss.
The last Radical Faction Uchiha said, "Let's pass on Izanagi to all the clan members first."
Upon hearing this, the others immediately agreed. That's right, no matter what choice they made later, improving their strength would definitely not be a problem.
So, the people who received the scroll first shared its contents with the other Uchiha present, and then they all dispersed, some going to find their clan leaders or elders, and others going to find their relatives and friends.
Thanks to the Sharingan's powerful copying ability, the Forbidden Technique Izanagi quickly spread throughout the entire Uchiha Clan.
Even the elders of the War Faction took out many Three-Tomoe Sharingan that they had previously saved, as spares.
Outsiders bear a heavy burden when using someone else's Sharingan, while those of their own race do not experience such significant negative effects.
Then, waves of killing intent emanated from the Uchiha Clan's territory.
Perhaps the original Uchiha possessed composure, but at this moment, after their strength has greatly increased, few Uchiha remain calm.
It's important to remember that when Izanagi was first developed, the Uchiha Clan, driven by ambition, even resorted to fratricide.
What's more, now he's facing outsiders who want his life.
Perhaps there were a few more who were calm, such as the indecisive Fugaku Uchiha, Shisui Uchiha, and Itachi Uchiha when he was still a boy.
While Tsunade and the others were looking outside, they never expected that something would happen first at the Uchiha Clan's ancestral home.
First, waves of murderous intent emanated from the scene without any attempt to conceal it. Then came shouts of discontent against the Konoha High-ranking officials.
Then, the sounds of fighting could be heard.
That's right, the Uchiha Clan is embroiled in internal strife.
When many clansmen were clamoring to fight the Konoha High-ranking officials, Shisui Uchiha stepped forward.
With an indomitable spirit, he stood opposite the crowd and began to speak about the Will of Fire.
When Yichen led Sokai Uchiha on a long detour and sneaked in from the direction of the Uchiha Clan, they witnessed this scene.
Now, almost no one in the Uchiha clan has the mind to guard against enemy invasion.
Even if Konoha's sensory team discovered Yichen's intrusion in this location, they wouldn't dare send ninjas to search it.
If the Konoha High-ranking officials were to send someone over at this time, it would confirm the rumors that they intended to exterminate the clan.
Yichen circled around and came over just as the Uchiha Clan's Jonin, having passed around Izanagi, gathered together to show off their newly acquired power.
Yichen watched Sokai from the shadows.
Seeing that he couldn't stop the Uchiha, Shisui unleashed a Great Fireball on the open ground in front of them, silencing the agitated Uchiha for a moment.
Then, the numerous Uchiha and Yichen in the Sokai, heard Shisui Uchiha's propaganda about the Will of Fire.
"Everyone, calm down. This is clearly someone trying to sow discord. How could the High-ranking officials possibly target our Uchiha Clan?"
"Both the Third and Fifth Lord Danzō were kind to us. Although Lord Danzō acted radically, he took good care of me after I joined Root. They were all inclined towards the Uchiha."
From Shisui Uchiha's perspective, these words were sincere.
He was chosen by Hiruzen Sarutobi and others to be brainwashed, and the care he saw and felt was naturally something that the Konoha High-ranking officials deliberately showed him.
But let's set aside the question of whether the Konoha High-ranking officials's kindness towards Shisui Uchiha is a different matter from their kindness towards the entire Uchiha Clan.
At this moment, even if the Konoha High-ranking officials were all saints, all virtuous and righteous, Shisui Uchiha's words would only have the opposite effect.
"What does Shisuizu mean?"
"What are you talking about? You actually think the High-ranking officials haven't treated us unfairly?"
"Didn't you think about why we were relegated to this corner?"
"You're actually defending Danzo? Every time the High-ranking officials target us, wasn't it Danzo who started it?"
"That's right, we've worked diligently for the village, but the village has been ostracizing us, and you're even trying to defend the village."
"You traitor! You refuse to join the Security Force but choose to join the Root. You're a lackey of the High-ranking officials."
"That's right, you left Root and then joined the Anbu. You traitor, you don't deserve to be called Uchiha, you don't deserve to have the Sharingan."
"Shisui, you've been brainwashed by the High-ranking officials. Wake up!"
"Yes, Shisui, you are a genius of our Uchiha Clan. Don't be so stubborn."
"Yes, Shisui, you are still young. You don't know what the High-ranking officials are doing. Don't get involved in these important matters."
The Uchiha gathered here stared at Shisui Uchiha, their crimson Sharingan wide open.
Some argued with him logically, some cursed him, and some tried to persuade him with heartfelt words.
It's fortunate that Shisui Uchiha was also a member of the Uchiha; otherwise, he would have been beaten to a pulp by these emotionally charged Uchiha long ago, based on what he just said.
At this moment, Sokai, who was standing next to Yichen, was also very emotional and wished he could rush up and curse Shisui.
Sokai been brainwashed by Yichen for many years, Uchiha outside.
Perhaps only one Uchiha present could compare to Sokai, and that was Shisui.
Perhaps only brainwashing can compare to brainwashing.
Yichen held Sokai down firmly to prevent him from running away.
Yichen was equally excited. He shouted in his heart, "Great! More intense! More intense! Not enough!"
Seeing that he couldn't out-argue the group, Shisui Uchiha was more anxious than anyone else. If his clansmen were to leave the clan's territory, all his efforts would be in vain.
We must never allow our people to embark on the irreversible path of a coup.
So Shisui Uchiha blurted out, "Everyone, calm down, and don't do anything out of line."
"Everyone, please don't leave the tribe's territory. As long as you stay, I will persuade the higher-ups to forgive us."
The room fell silent upon hearing this.
Shisui Uchiha genuinely didn't feel anything was wrong, despite being brainwashed by Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo.
The reason why the Uchiha Clan became estranged from the High-ranking officials was entirely because the Uchiha Clan acted too radically.
It was the High-ranking officials that consistently exercised restraint, not the other way around, that was the High-ranking officials deliberately targeting the Uchiha.
But how did these words sound to the other Uchiha?
"Forgive? What are you talking about, you traitor?"
"Damn it, you lackey of the higher-ups, what are you saying?"
"Shisui, go to hell!"
Some Uchiha shouted angrily at Shisui Uchiha, while others had already taken action.
However, they didn't know that in Shisui's eyes, everyone's actions tonight were confirming Hiruzen Sarutobi's assessment of their Uchiha Clan.
"The Third Lord was right after all," Shisui Uchiha thought to himself as he dodged the attacks.
Faced with this situation, he was completely helpless, with only an extremely strong emotion brewing in his mind.
Finally, when more and more of his tribesmen cursed him and threw Kunai at him to vent their dissatisfaction,
Shisui Uchiha could no longer suppress his impatience.
The three Tomoe in his Sharingan began to spin at an astonishing speed.
At that moment, all Shisui Uchiha could see were the opening and closing mouths of his clansmen and the Kunai they were throwing at him.
Time passed in an instant, yet it felt like an eternity.
The next moment, the three Tomoe in Shisui Uchiha's eyes finally connected end to end, merging into a single ink dot. Then the ink dot dissolved, forming a Four-bladed pinwheel pattern.
At the same time, in the shadows, Yichen once again experienced the changes in his Mind's Eye when Obito Uchiha awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.
Yichen opened his eyes wide, carefully and vigilantly surveying his surroundings, because at this moment, his Mind's Eye was communicating with a mysterious entity in the unknown space, and could not help him guard against danger.
Now, they are in the heart of Konoha, the enemy's stronghold, and the slightest misstep could lead to utter destruction.
The changes in Shisui Uchiha's Sharingan were naturally observed by all the Uchiha present.
One by one, they stopped their insults and attacks.
It wasn't out of fear, but rather excitement and exhilaration.
Despite their previous harsh words towards Shisui Uchiha, their goal was to win him back.
They didn't really consider Shisui Uchiha an enemy, otherwise they wouldn't have just thrown a few Kunai; they would have unleashed massive Great Fireball instead.
Upon seeing Shisui Uchiha's eyes upgrade, their first reaction was joy, thinking that their Uchiha Clan was about to produce another powerful figure like Madara Uchiha.
Although Shisui Uchiha had problematic ideas, he was still one of his own clansmen.
Under his leadership, the Uchiha Clan will surely become the Ruler of the Ninja World in the future.
Uchiha are already having wild dreams.
The plot is tense, and I happen to have some time, so here's another update.
