Sasuke's Plan!

In the past, whenever the Uchiha Clan held a clan meeting, the majority of members advocated for a coup d'état to seize power!

However, when it came time to actually initiate the coup, they became hesitant and indecisive, held back by concerns for their families.

Perhaps this is the bond of affection that is so difficult to sever!

"So annoying! To fight is not an option, and not to fight is also not an option..."

"Exactly, what are we supposed to do?"

After discussing for half a day without reaching a conclusion, many clan members began to grow restless.

Like the other clansmen, Uchiha Fugaku was currently frowning, his heart filled with immense conflict. As the clan head, his decision was of paramount importance; one careless move could lead the entire clan to total destruction.

Therefore, at such a critical juncture, Uchiha Fugaku would not proactively offer ideas, choosing instead to listen to the opinions of his clansmen. Of course, regarding the current crisis facing the Uchiha Clan, he truly had not thought of a good solution either.

"I have a plan that can help the Uchiha Clan resolve this crisis, but it requires the entire clan to act."

Just as the members were feeling lost, Sasuke stepped out from beside Itachi, walked up to Uchiha Fugaku, and spoke earnestly to all the clansmen.

"Hey, what is a brat like you doing standing up there?"

"That's right, how is he allowed to attend the clan meeting? Throw him out!"

Seeing Sasuke standing at the front and speaking so boldly, the clan members immediately expressed their dissatisfaction.

Uchiha Fugaku was also somewhat angry at Sasuke's sudden move. As a strict father, he not only hoped that Sasuke would become an outstanding ninja but also that he would be humble and polite in his conduct.

But for Sasuke to suddenly pop up and speak at such an important occasion as a clan meeting seemed very immature, so Uchiha Fugaku spoke in a deep voice: "Sasuke, go back to Itachi's side at once!"

"What... this... how is this possible?"

However, the moment Uchiha Fugaku's voice fell, his eyes were instantly filled with disbelief, and he muttered to himself.

At this moment, the originally black pupils of Sasuke, who stood beside Uchiha Fugaku, had transformed into blood-red Sharingan!

"My god, a Two-Tomoe Sharingan?!"

"This brat is truly formidable!"

The moment Sasuke activated his Sharingan, all the members in the Dark Chamber, save for Shisui and Itachi, were struck with horror, and a wave of dizziness washed over their minds.

They had not expected that Sasuke would activate the Sharingan at such a young age, and it was even in the two-tomoe state; it was simply too shocking.

It is hard to imagine the level of astonishment Sasuke brought to Uchiha Fugaku by activating his Sharingan right before him, to the point where this head of the Uchiha Clan did not even know what to say next.

Ignoring the shock of Uchiha Fugaku and the clansmen, Sasuke kept his eyes fixed on a Uchiha clansman with a scar on his face who was standing in the right corner of the Dark Chamber.

When Sasuke activated his Sharingan just now, this man's expression had been far too panicked. Sasuke felt he was suspicious, so he immediately used his Sharingan to probe the chakra within him, only to discover a faint trace of chakra flowing through his body.

If a ninja was not using any ninjutsu or actively circulating chakra, yet chakra was still flowing within them, it meant they were using a Transformation Jutsu!

"Just as I thought!"

Sighing inwardly, Sasuke shifted his gaze away from the Scarred Man and then said in a firm, resonant voice, "I did not activate my Sharingan to show off; I only wanted to tell everyone not to judge a book by its cover. The ninja world respects strength above all else. Furthermore, I am a member of the Uchiha Clan, so regardless of the perspective, I am qualified to attend this clan meeting!"

The clan members nodded slowly. Sasuke's words lacked softness but carried a sense of dominance. Yet, after he laid them out, no one present felt there was anything inappropriate about it.

Many clan members had not even activated the Sharingan and possessed only average strength, yet they were qualified to attend the meeting; why shouldn't Sasuke be?

Hearing this, Uchiha Fugaku, standing to the side, was also stunned. He had not expected that at such an age, Sasuke could speak with such boldness.

However, as a father, he still had to support Sasuke, so he spoke up: "Sasuke is still young, and sometimes his actions and words are not well-considered. I hope everyone will not take offense. But since he is my son and a member of the Uchiha Clan, he is naturally allowed to attend the clan meeting!"

Giving Uchiha Fugaku a slight smile, Sasuke felt more at ease with his father's support. He then continued to speak to the clansmen: "Regaining our dignity and reclaiming our power in Konoha is what every member of the Uchiha Clan hopes for. However, our current strength is too weak. Trying to confront the Konoha leadership now is like an egg hitting a rock; it is a path to certain death!"

"Therefore, a premature coup is definitely not the way to go!"

After hearing Sasuke's words, a clansman immediately retorted, "If a premature coup won't work, then how are we supposed to deal with the Third Hokage's plan to annihilate us?"

Every gaze was now fixed unblinkingly on Sasuke. They were desperate to know what kind of solution this seemingly genius youth of the Uchiha Clan could possibly have.

"There is only one way to solve the deadlock we are currently facing, and that is to leave Konoha and establish our own ninja village in another country!"

Looking up at all the clansmen, Sasuke let out a soft breath and then said heavily.

"Establish... our own ninja village!"

The room fell silent, a deathly silence!

Everyone, including Shisui and Itachi, stared at Sasuke in shock, their expressions beyond description.

It must be said that while Sasuke's idea was relatively simple, it was highly effective. As long as the Uchiha Clan left Konoha, it would be unrealistic for the Konoha leadership to annihilate them.

After all, Konoha Village required many ninjas for its defense and could not possibly mobilize its entire force. As long as Konoha did not go all out, the Uchiha Clan would definitely be able to defend themselves with their strength.

"You make it sound so simple, but where can we go if we leave Konoha?"

After the shock had persisted for a long while, a clansman finally asked with a hint of trepidation.

Knowing someone would ask this, Sasuke gave a light chuckle and produced a golden scroll.

Seeing that the scroll in Sasuke's hand was not an ordinary Konoha scroll, everyone was stunned once again.

"This is a formal request written personally by the Feudal Lord of the Land of Waterfalls. He is dissatisfied with the leader of Takigakure and wants to request the Third Hokage to send ninjas to assist. We can take this opportunity to go to the Land of Waterfalls to resolve the Feudal Lord's trouble and then establish a new ninja village there." After a quick explanation, Sasuke took out another scroll and continued, "And this scroll contains the map of the Land of Waterfalls as well as intelligence on all the ninjas in Takigakure. With this, we can take over Takigakure without paying a heavy price."

Originally, Sasuke had intended to hand these scrolls over to Sarutobi Hiruzen, but it seemed the Uchiha Clan needed them more now.
