An Emergency Clan Meeting!

The setting sun hung in mid-air, its faint rays washing over the forest as if gilding the trees with a layer of gold dust.

At this moment, Sasuke's figure darted rapidly through the woods. Having just finished the training arranged by Kakashi, he had rushed without pause toward the Uchiha Clan's training ground.

Because Sasuke's Sharingan was still in the two-tomoe state, he wanted to find Shisui to continue his guidance, hoping to evolve it into the three-tomoe Sharingan as soon as possible.

Shisui is here, as expected... wait, Brother is here too!

Stepping onto a thick tree trunk, Sasuke could already see Shisui's silhouette below, but to his surprise, Itachi was there as well.

"Shisui, the Third Hokage has made up his mind to eliminate the Uchiha Clan, and Danzo wants me to take action early to wipe out the clan in order to protect Sasuke!"

Sasuke had been about to jump down to greet them, but the words that suddenly reached his ears caused him to freeze in shock.

"Itachi, Danzo's move is too vicious. They intend to wipe out the Uchiha Clan without shedding a drop of blood!"

After hearing Itachi's account, Shisui said indignantly.

As Shisui's words fell, Sasuke's fists clenched violently. Within his pitch-black eyes, bloodshot veins faintly began to spread. A moment later, a voice of extreme fury echoed in his heart.

"Danzo, you must die!"

In Sasuke's view, Danzo must have been driven to rage by failing to obtain Shisui's eyes, and had subsequently used insidious means to persuade Sarutobi Hiruzen to issue the order to exterminate the Uchiha Clan.

In other words, the clan extermination plan, which in the Naruto anime would not have been executed for another two years, had begun ahead of schedule.

This meant that all the plans Sasuke had previously conceived to save the clan would fall through; after all, those plans were built on the premise of Sasuke having decent strength, and with his current power, he clearly couldn't stir up any waves.

The atmosphere was oppressive and heavy. Listening to Shisui's angry words, Itachi sighed and asked helplessly, "What should we do now?"

Shisui fell silent as well. He knew Konoha's strength all too well; if the Uchiha Clan fought the village, they would only face a dead end, but if they didn't fight, they would die regardless!

Just as Shisui was struggling internally, unable to come up with a solution, Sasuke jumped down from the tree.

"Brother, I heard everything you just said, but I don't think the fate of the Uchiha Clan should be left for others to manipulate!"

Staring at Itachi, Sasuke took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the rage toward Danzo in his heart, and spoke in a low voice.

"Sasuke, what do you mean by that?"

Feeling that Sasuke might have a better idea, Itachi immediately pressed for an answer.

"We must tell Father the intelligence that the Konoha higher-ups are planning to move against the Uchiha Clan, and have him call a clan meeting immediately so we can all think of a way together!"

Sasuke did indeed have a plan in mind, but it required the cooperation of the entire Uchiha Clan, so it had to be proposed at a clan meeting.

"Sasuke makes sense. With more people, there are more ideas. This concerns the future fate of the Uchiha Clan, after all; everyone must discuss and deliberate together."

Nodding, Shisui immediately agreed with Sasuke's proposal.

"Alright! Let's set off now!"

Seeing that Shisui agreed, Itachi did not object and responded quickly.

Once the words were spoken, Itachi, Sasuke, and Shisui did not hesitate; they immediately left the training ground and headed to the Police Force headquarters to find Uchiha Fugaku.

After receiving the intelligence from Itachi, Uchiha Fugaku, who was usually calm in the face of adversity, was instantly thrown into a panic, and he urgently convened a clan meeting.

Clan meetings were usually held at the end of the month. The fact that the clan head had suddenly called a meeting made all the members of the Uchiha Clan realize that something major must be happening tonight, so every household had someone in attendance.

In less than an hour, the secret underground chamber of Naka Shrine was packed with members who had come to attend the meeting.

"The reason I have summoned everyone so urgently is because Itachi has obtained a piece of vital intelligence!"

"The Third Hokage has already issued an order to prepare for our annihilation!"

Standing at the very front of the chamber, Uchiha Fugaku scanned the room with his gaze and spoke heavily.

"What? The Third Hokage has issued an order?"

"Bastards, the Konoha higher-ups want to kill us?"

"What are we afraid of? We were already planning a coup; now it's even better, we can just take action directly!"

When Uchiha Fugaku's words fell, the chamber erupted into chaos. Various noisy and panicked voices converged, swirling within the room until it made one's head spin.

Uchiha Fugaku frowned at the chaotic scene and shouted in a deep, stern voice: "Everyone, be quiet! How can we think of a solution if you're all just making noise?"

Hearing Uchiha Fugaku's words, the clamor in the chamber gradually faded, and a moment later, it finally fell completely silent.

Seeing that the chamber had returned to quiet, Uchiha Fugaku said: "If anyone has any ideas, you may speak one by one."

"Clan Head, what other ideas could we have? The Konoha higher-ups are moving against us; we cannot sit here and wait for death. Let's launch the coup early!"

Hearing Uchiha Fugaku's words, a member named Uchiha Yashiro immediately stood up and shouted.

Uchiha Yashiro was a hawk within the Uchiha Clan; he had long been hoping to launch a coup to seize power.

"The probability of the coup failing is extremely high. We would not only have to fight the Anbu, who possess numerous elites, and the Konoha Jonin, but also face the other clans of Konoha. If we are wiped out, they stand to benefit, so they will certainly support the Konoha higher-ups!"

At this moment, Shisui spoke up, analyzing the situation seriously.

After Shisui's words spread, almost everyone in the chamber, including Uchiha Fugaku, felt their faces twitch violently. The Hyuga Clan alone would be enough to give the Uchiha Clan a hard time; if other clans were added to the mix, the Uchiha Clan truly wouldn't be able to hold out.

"Since we can't win, we can't just sit here and wait for death, can we?"

After the silence in the chamber persisted for a while, the clan member Uchiha Yakumi said in a low voice.

Uchiha Yakumi was a very loyal member of the Uchiha Clan who served Uchiha Fugaku with all his heart in the Military Police Force. He was usually a man of few words, but because this clan meeting concerned the life and death of the Uchiha Clan, he was also racking his brain for a solution.

"Our Uchiha Clan possesses the power of the Sharingan; if it comes to a bloody battle, we won't necessarily lose!"

"That's right, rather than waiting for death, we might as well fight!"

Some of the radical clansmen instantly became animated again, beginning to discuss the matter heatedly.

Waving his hand with an expressionless face to suppress the noisy discussions in the dark room, Uchiha Fugaku's eyes flickered for a moment before he said in a grave voice, "Everyone must think carefully. The decision we make tonight concerns every single one of our family members."

"My child was just born. If a conflict really breaks out, it would be too cruel for him..."

"Then what should we do? I don't want to watch my elderly mother die at the hands of others either!"

Uchiha Fugaku's words caused many clansmen to begin worrying about their own families; they might not fear death themselves, but they had to consider their loved ones.

(Repeated updates are annoying for many brothers, so I am adding an extra chapter today to make up for it! Although some brothers have unsubscribed due to the repeated update issue, I am still grateful that they were able to read my work!

Of course, the ones I should thank the most are the brothers who have never left my side. Haha, I, Dihua Langjun, am proud of you all! I love you! Once the fan group is established, I will play Honor of Kings with you all!)
