The Uchiha Hawks' New Core Figure, Kumogakure's Thoughts

Uchiha Shisui thought of this, and then compared it to the clan members' warm greetings, their enthusiastic stuffing of things into his hands, as if they were family.

In his heart, the village was no longer synonymous with the Uchiha Clan.

It was inferior.

The thought made him even more certain of what he wanted to do.

"Shisui, if you need anything, just say it!"

"If you need money or anything else, you can always come to us."

"Right, right, don't be polite."

The clan members said with concern as they stuffed things into his hands.

"Mhm, mhm, I know." Uchiha Shisui, flustered, received a large pile of things, including vegetables, fruits, eggs, meat, bandages, and so on.

These were all worthless items, yet the Hokage didn't even mention them, despite what had happened.

Was it his fault that his eyes were gouged out?

"No, let's wait another two days." Uchiha Shisui still didn't want to make a decision easily.

He needed to be cautious, even more cautious.

"Brother, what's wrong?" Uchiha Jinghuo couldn't see, but he could sense that Uchiha Shisui seemed to be waiting for something.

The first day was fine, the second day he felt a bit disappointed and sad, and the third day he became calm.

"It's nothing." Uchiha Shisui ruffled Uchiha Jinghuo's buzz cut.

"Mhm, tell me if something's wrong." Uchiha Jinghuo said.

"Okay." Uchiha Shisui said so, but he had no intention of telling Uchiha Jinghuo anything.

However, the clan members told Uchiha Jinghuo everything.

In these two days, after the Uchiha Clan learned the reason why Uchiha Jinghuo activated Susanoo in the village, they felt very indignant towards Shimura Danzo.

They also felt the usual frustration at the inaction of the Konoha higher-ups and Fugaku Uchiha, creating a heated atmosphere where they felt like staging a coup in the village center right now.

Besides that, their attitude towards Uchiha Jinghuo had completely reversed.

It wasn't that they treated Uchiha Jinghuo poorly before, they were just unfamiliar with him, treating him as an unimportant ordinary person, or a relative of someone they knew.

Now, they were subtly treating Uchiha Jinghuo as the person in charge.

The Uchiha Clan didn't need a clan head who always yielded, but a warrior who could lead the Uchiha Clan to fight to the death!

"Jinghuo, what do you think about staging a coup at the next meeting?"

"I've had enough of being monitored every day!"

"We Uchiha aren't criminals!"

"It's one thing for the villagers to misunderstand us, but even the higher-ups are like this!"

"Do you know what the enemy called us during the war? Konoha's lapdogs!"

"Why is it that we Uchiha work ourselves to death, while they enjoy all the benefits?"

"Jinghuo, you don't know how good the ninja equipment is for the Sarutobi, Shimura, Mitokado, and Utatane clans. Especially the Sarutobi clan, it feels like they didn't go all out in the war!"

"Exactly! Why! Konoha was established by us Uchiha and the Senju Clan!"

They didn't really expect the crippled Uchiha Jinghuo to actually lead them in a coup.

They were just treating Uchiha Jinghuo as one of their own, venting their frustrations, otherwise, they would have been angered to death sooner or later.

However, they still had questions they hoped Uchiha Jinghuo could answer.

"Jinghuo, how did you activate Susanoo?"

At these words, there was a sudden silence.

The clan members stared at Uchiha Jinghuo with eager eyes.

Even if the price was blindness in both eyes, as long as they had this power...

What were they waiting for? They could stage a coup immediately!

Uchiha Jinghuo shook his head slightly and said, "I'm not too sure either."

They weren't entirely surprised by this answer, but they couldn't hide their disappointment.

Uchiha Jinghuo also honestly expressed his thoughts: "Susanoo requires luck to possess, but ninjutsu and taijutsu do not. Our Uchiha Clan's Sharingan has the ability of an observant eye. Instead of pursuing the illusory Susanoo, I think it's better to pursue ninjutsu and taijutsu to strengthen ourselves."

"Mhm, Jinghuo is right."

"Strengthening ourselves is the most important thing."

"Right, we need to practice ninjutsu and taijutsu more."

Can't find the book title? Try searching for the author, maybe they just changed their name!

Although they said that, Uchiha Jinghuo could tell they hadn't taken it to heart at all, as if they were just giving him face.

But Jinghuo Uchiha also understood.

They were filled with frustration right now.

They could also tell that Fugaku Uchiha wouldn't launch a coup unless absolutely necessary.

It was the clan members who incited him, forced him, and only then did he reluctantly agree.

Therefore, what was the point of even increasing their strength a little?

They said they wanted to launch a coup, but who knew if it would be like moving the clan grounds, where the compensation payment still hadn't been given?

Kumogakure.

Raikage's office.

"What did you say!" The Fourth Raikage, a tall and mighty figure, suddenly stood up, his eyes piercing, fierce like his bulging muscles.

He hadn't expected such a major event to occur in Konoha.

A five-year-old Uchiha brat could activate Susanoo!

This brat must not be allowed to grow up!

"Prepare for war!"

Mabui, the white-haired, deeply tanned secretary, calmly said, "Lord Raikage, shouldn't we invite Iwagakure?"

"Hmph, ignore them. We'll drag things out, and they'll naturally join in."

The "they" the Fourth Raikage referred to were the other villages, such as Iwagakure, Sunagakure, and so on.

Once Kumogakure initiated war, the other villages would definitely not miss this opportunity to attack Konoha. After all, Konoha's geographical environment was too good, with abundant resources and beautiful scenery.

Look at Kumogakure, which was all lightning; Iwagakure, all mountains; Sunagakure, all sand; Kirigakure, all water. Who wouldn't covet Konoha?

As for an alliance, he disdained it.

The main reason was the hatred between the villages.

For example, Iwagakure used over ten thousand ninjas to kill the Third Raikage.

Kumogakure deeply resented this.

But what about the friends and family of the ninjas who died in Iwagakure? Naturally, they also hated Kumogakure.

And if they cooperated, the division of benefits would be very troublesome, requiring many meetings to finalize.

This way, they would miss the opportunity to invade Konoha now!

Therefore, a direct charge was the best option.

At that time, they would present conditions to Konoha, demanding that Hiruzen Sarutobi hand over that Uchiha brat, or the war would not stop.

The villagers of Konoha had long been dissatisfied with the Uchiha clan. Once they heard the war was caused by the Uchiha clan, they would naturally cause trouble.

With both factors combined, Hiruzen Sarutobi would definitely hand over that Uchiha brat.

And once Hiruzen Sarutobi did so, it would inevitably escalate the conflict with the Uchiha clan.

When the Uchiha clan and Konoha descended into chaos, that would be the perfect time for Kumogakure to reap the rewards!

At this moment, a ninja entered.

"Lord Raikage, an envoy from Iwagakure has arrived."

"Tell him to get lost!"

"Yes, I'll let him in right away... (⊙o⊙)..." The Kumogakure ninja was stunned after understanding the Fourth Raikage's meaning.

"Tell him to get lost? Tell the Iwagakure envoy to get lost?" He stiffly turned his head to look at Mabui.

Mabui nodded slightly, indicating to do as the Fourth Raikage said.

The Kumogakure ninja: "..."

His mouth twitched as he retreated.

"Prepare quickly, we depart this afternoon!" The Fourth Raikage was decisive.

"Yes."

Mabui, holding documents, was about to retreat.

At this moment, a ninja from the intelligence division rushed over.

"Lord Raikage, that Uchiha brat's eyes are crippled!"

"What did you say!" The Fourth Raikage slammed the table, and the table cracked in half with a "bang."
