Dan, You're Too Radical!

Inside the deep, grand mansion.

Dan followed Inohi along the bluestone-paved path, passing through the lushly planted courtyard, and finally arrived at the reception hall.

At the entrance.

A handsome man with a small black mole between his eyebrows stood with his arms crossed on the steps, awaiting their arrival.

His name was Uchiha Tekka. He had just turned twenty and was already a Jonin. He was Inohi's good friend in the Police Force.

Both of them followed Yashiro.

"Are you Uchiha Dan?"

Tekka looked down at Dan a few times, his first impression of the latter was not good. He coldly ordered, "Once inside, stay put and show respect to Lord Yashiro. Do you understand?"

After speaking, he walked down the steps and brushed past Dan.

During this process, he raised a hand and patted Dan's shoulder as a warning.

However.

Before Tekka's hand could land on Dan's shoulder.

A bone in Dan's shoulder suddenly protruded, like a great iron spear, and shot towards Tekka's palm with a whoosh.

"Hiss!"

Tekka, caught off guard by the bone from Dan's shoulder, gasped sharply. Clutching his throbbing palm, he stumbled back several steps.

Finally, he fell to the ground with a thud.

"Don't touch me casually."

Dan glanced at Tekka and said indifferently.

His bones and muscles had been trained to be as sharp as blades and spears, capable of protruding at will, and even automatically counter-attacking enemies.

An ordinary person who accidentally touched Dan might be sent flying on the spot.

"Dan, don't be so arrogant!"

Inohi helped his friend up and roared at Dan angrily, but his bluster was hollow. In his heart, he became even more wary of Dan.

Dan's taijutsu was simply unfathomable.

Just then.

"Let him in!" a majestic voice echoed from within the reception hall.

Dan no longer paid attention to Inohi and the other, walking straight up the steps and into the hall.

As soon as he entered.

He saw a middle-aged man with short brown hair and small eyes, sitting upright.

This person was Uchiha Yashiro.

To Dan's surprise.

In a corner of the room, an old man with half his face covered by a mask sat in a chair.

He leaned on a cane with his right hand, his left hand on his hip, his face full of anger, staring at Dan without a word, his gaze full of scrutiny.

Dan recognized the other's identity.

Uchiha Setsuna.

This person was an elder of the clan.

He had incited clan members to rebel in his early years, but was ordered arrested by the Second Hokage and imprisoned in the Anbu, only being released a few years ago.

He was also an important figure in the Radical Faction.

"Dan, I heard about you helping Inohi capture the spy. I also heard that your brother-in-law, Fugaku, snatched your own sister away."

Yashiro spoke first, releasing goodwill towards Dan in his words, "As clan members, we should help each other, so I invited you here..."

"You want me to join your side, don't you?"

Dan interrupted Yashiro, sat down on the sofa with a swagger, and continued, "Regarding the issue of Konoha high command, my brother-in-law's stance leans towards the Moderate Faction, and you are the Radical Faction, correct?"

Yashiro was stunned for a moment, then calmly said, "That's right, our faction's proposal is..."

"Just say it, how do you want me to support you?"

Dan asked directly.

Yashiro smiled.

He had been interrupted twice, but instead of getting angry, he admired Dan's straightforwardness.

"It seems you've already made up your mind."

He was very satisfied with Dan's statement and immediately extended an invitation to the latter.

It turned out.

Yashiro wanted Dan to attend the clan meeting next month and publicly declare his support for them at the meeting. At that time, the Radical Faction members would join forces to pressure Patriarch Fugaku, forcing him to adopt a tough stance against Konoha high command.

"That's it?"

After listening to Yashiro's plan, Dan shook his head.

"What, you're unwilling to fall out with your brother-in-law?" Yashiro frowned, his gaze turning cold.

"No, I have a better idea." Dan looked directly into Yashiro's eyes, his gaze sharp as a knife.

In Dan's opinion.

The Radical Faction was a bunch of trash.

In the original story, after Shisui of the Moderate Faction jumped off a cliff to his death, the Radical Faction within the clan gained power. They should have immediately coerced the clan head, Fugaku, into rebelling, but they dragged their feet for two more years.

Until the clan was wiped out.

The reason, in the final analysis—

The people of the Radical Faction, although outwardly at odds with Shisui, still hoped in their hearts that Shisui, the strongest in the clan, would become the main force of the Uchiha coup.

Once Shisui was gone, they would lose the courage to clamor for rebellion again in a short period.

The so-called Radical Faction.

Seemingly full of martial spirit, but in reality, utterly incompetent.

Therefore.

Dan had a sudden impulse and decided to instigate these people, to see if they had the guts.

Hearing that Dan had a better idea, Yashiro's expression softened slightly:

"Since that's the case, then tell me about it."

Who would have thought.

Dan slowly stood up and uttered astonishing words:

"I believe Uchiha Fugaku is indecisive, unable to unite the clan internally, and repeatedly compromises and yields to the Konoha high command externally. He is simply unfit to be the clan head.

I, Uchiha Dan, am willing to uphold righteousness and eliminate kinship. At next month's clan meeting, I will lead the impeachment and drive my brother-in-law from the position of clan head."

As soon as these words were spoken.

Uchiha Setsuna, who had been silent beside them, had a glint in his eyes.

Yashiro was even more shocked, because before Dan spoke today, even he, the second-in-command of the Uchiha, had never considered something as overstepping as impeaching the clan head.

If Fugaku were to step down, who would become the new clan head?

Should Yashiro go himself?

Just as Yashiro's emotions surged, Dan provided the answer.

"When the time comes, all of you in the Radical Faction must nominate me together, allowing me to become the new Uchiha clan head."

He looked down at Uchiha Yashiro, relying on his height, and said it as a matter of course.

But the truly terrifying part was yet to come.

"After that.

I will lead the entire Uchiha clan's elites to directly attack the Hokage Building and carry out a decapitation strike against the Konoha high command.

I will hang the heads of Hiruzen Sarutobi, Shimura Danzō, and others at the village entrance as a public display, letting their corpses be exposed to the sun for three days and three nights.

I will make the entire Konoha bow down and submit to our Uchiha clan."

Dan revealed his plan.

A four-character evaluation: simple and brutal.

"Will... this succeed?" Yashiro's mind was a bit stunned by the shock, and he subconsciously asked.

Dan showed his resolve and asserted:

"Even if it doesn't succeed, we can only fight with all our might, because we don't have much time left. An armed coup should be swift and decisive; strike first to gain the advantage. If we delay too long, Konoha will set up a net, and our clan will only face destruction."

Just like the Uchiha in the original story.

Konoha, without expending a single soldier, and only by using Itachi, that traitor, annihilated hundreds of people in the Uchiha clan, not even sparing the old, weak, women, and children.

After a full minute of silence.

Yashiro finally came back to his senses. He took a deep breath and earnestly advised Dan:

"Dan, our Radical Faction's stance is indeed to confront the Konoha high command with force, but I believe this matter requires long-term planning and thorough preparation. You... are too hasty."

Even if it were a rebellion.

What Yashiro and the others thought of at most was to surround and control the Hokage Building, force the Third Hokage to abdicate, and reclaim the power and status that originally belonged to the Uchiha clan.

They never considered killing all of the Konoha high command.

After all.

Such an action would be tantamount to making enemies of the entire Konoha.

Dan, however, did not seem to think so.

"Even if it means mutual destruction, the Uchiha will go all out and drag Konoha down with us.

As long as a war can be ignited, even if the Uchiha clan is annihilated, Konoha will inevitably suffer heavy losses. At that time, the other four great ninja villages will definitely seize this golden opportunity and rush to attack Konoha.

At worst, the Uchiha and Konoha will perish together."

Dan said expressionlessly.

As if in his eyes, neither the life and death of the Uchiha clan nor the survival of Konoha had anything to do with him.

He just wanted to watch the show.

"Shut up!"

Dan's words finally made Uchiha Setsuna, who was standing beside him, unable to bear it any longer. He slammed his cane hard on the ground, stood up, and rebuked Dan angrily:

"Uchiha Dan, you are too radical!"
