The Nine-Tails Incident (4)
"Otherwise, I will kill Lin."
Naraku looked at the Masked Obito and said coldly,
Obito's demonic heart was deeply ingrained, and he even plotted to harm Kushina and his teacher, Namikaze Minato.
If I weren't the Uchiha Clan Head, and I needed to plan for the future of the Uchiha, and needed some outstanding clan members and Mangekyo users, I would eliminate this threat today.
Masked Obito did not reply. After a few seconds of silence, the whirlwind slowly rippled, and the figure disappeared.
Naraku at Uchiha Zensui beside him. Naraku 'Uchiha Zensui nonsensical words and frowned slightly.
"Akatsuki, I know you'll be drawn to this kind of goal; it's a waste of all my teachings."
Naraku, despite being the enemy of his longtime protector, still mentally crushed him.
"Clan Chief, I didn't understand why I couldn't capture you before, but now I do. You also know Hiruko's secret technique. Perhaps, Clan Chief, you are also Uchiha Kyo has awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan."
Uchiha Zensui spoke softly to Naraku, just as he had when they were close in the past.
"I regret my actions and I am confused, but Chief, I do not wish you to forgive me. As the leader, you should not pity such a sinner."
Moreover, even if I kill you, I still have a chance!
Uchiha Zensui's words were illogical; he would regret his actions one moment and then try to assassinate someone the next.
Naraku frowned as he listened to Uchiha Zensui's words. It was best that Uchiha Zensui could repent. But this guy was still thinking of assassinating him.
"Zensui, anyone who stands before my eyes is but an ant; you are no match for me."
Since you regret it, you can still return as long as you accept the punishment you deserve."
Naraku said in a deep voice, "The Uchiha Mangekyo is quite precious. If it's beyond saving, Naraku will have no choice but to suppress it forcefully."
"How can I forgive myself?! I can't even forgive myself!"
That guy impersonating Madara Uchiha was Obito, right? I never imagined that the bottom-ranked guy's Mangekyou Sharingan technique was actually on par with mine!
His Eye of the Moon Plan was incredibly naive. If I controlled Nine Tailed Beasts, wouldn't the Shinobi World belong to the Uchiha?
"And if I can kill you here, I'll still have a chance to control the Uchiha!"
Uchiha Zensui argued with a ferocious expression, and in the end, he drew his long sword and charged at Naraku.
"You're hopelessly insane!"
Naraku, his eyes bloodshot, finally lost control and roared in fury as he listened to the end.
Uchiha Clan Compound
Naka Shrine
Second Elder Uchiha Kyo sat somewhat helplessly at the head of the table in the Naka Shrine, listening to the complaints of the younger Uchiha disciples below.
At first Uchiha Kyo tried to persuade him with a few words, but found that he couldn't change his mind at all.
Uchiha Kyo was tough throughout his life, but he was not without intelligence. He always belatedly discovered the brilliance of Naraku's many strategies.
This led Uchiha Kyo to highly regard his clan leader, Uchiha Nara, not to mention that Naraku was now the Fourth Hokage of Konoha.
The people below, Uchiha Setsuna, had been plotting rebellion for nearly forty years during the time of the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi. Now that their own Uchiha Clan Head had become Hokage, they still felt something was amiss and wanted to stir up trouble.
To want to control all twelve Konoha, with the Uchiha controlling all twelve, would be like a tree that stands out in the forest and is bound to be felled by the wind. No one could tolerate Konoha having such a clan.
Seeing that the Second Elder, Uchiha Kyo, on the high platform had no expression and looked serious, the Uchiha Shinken assumed that this hardline elder was considering his suggestion and couldn't help but add fuel to the fire:
"Powerful man! If you were in charge of Uchiha affairs, our Uchiha situation would be much better. Since the Uchiha is the Hokage, even if he doesn't control all departments, he should at least control six! Otherwise, how can we proclaim our Uchiha's strength?"
"Yes, Elder Kyo, would you like to express your opinion? If you step forward, I think the clan leader will definitely agree."
"That's right, we've all awakened the Sharingan, the Uchiha Kekkei Genkai. The future of the Uchiha belongs to us, so what's wrong with seizing power sooner!"
The crowd below the stage started chattering amongst themselves.
The Second Elder Uchiha Kyo, sighed helplessly and said in a deep voice:
"Your opinions are very good, excellent, and have a high probability of being implemented."
Uchiha Kyo gave a few perfunctory replies, but then he didn't know how to continue...
His eyes narrowed slightly as he thought, and it seemed that retreating and running away to avoid conflict was the best option in this situation.
Just as Uchiha Kyo was trying to find an excuse to leave, an accident occurred.
Roar!
A deafening roar of a wild beast erupted, and the enormous Nine-Tailed Demon Fox shook its nine tails, causing the earth to tremble.
"Nine-Tails!"
"The time to make a name for yourself has come!"
"Is this the Nine-Tails? Terrifying!"
"The Nine-Tails is rampaging. What do you think? If we kill Uchiha Jiro while the Nine-Tails is rampaging, wouldn't that free up a department head position?"
"So, according to you, we might as well just kill a few more ministers?"
The people in the room were talking animatedly. In the end, someone even suggested taking advantage of the chaos to assassinate the Uchiha high-ranking members and stage an upheaval. What's even more bizarre is that some people agreed with this suggestion.
Several Uchiha members looked at the two clansmen who had risen up against their superiors and couldn't help but nod in agreement.
"Nonsense! Jiro has sacrificed a great deal for the Uchiha, and he's quite powerful. Your thinking is too dangerous! You should reflect on yourselves!"
Uchiha Kyo felt pressured by the Nine-Tails' rampage and wanted to report it to Naraku and inform Fugaku and the others to prepare for battle, but instead heard these absurd remarks and couldn't help but shout them out.
At the same time, he sensed something was wrong; these younger generation members seemed to have some dangerous ideas. Uchiha Kyo felt the pressure and wanted to leave.
"Divine Dog,' watch your words and actions! Don't say things like that again! Otherwise, don't blame me for disciplining you!"
At the opportune moment, Uchiha Karasu loudly reprimanded Uchiha Shinken, while simultaneously Divine Dog at him.
"Yes, Crow, you're the most reliable one. We Uchiha are the Hokage clan. The Nine-Tails' rampage is our time to make a name for ourselves, so we should be at the forefront! Let's go!"
Upon hearing Uchiha Karasu's voice, Uchiha Kyo loudly praised it, then shouted and strode away.
Pfft!
Uchiha Shinken stabbed Uchiha Qiang in the heart from behind with a kunai.
"You!"
Second Elder Uchiha Kyo turned his head, looking at the people behind him with a pained expression. Uchiha Kyo never expected that he would be assassinated by a junior member of the clan in the clan's headquarters.
"Elder Kyo, since you are unwilling to stand up for us, and you know so much, we dare not keep you here."
The Uchiha Shinken spoke coldly, showing no remorse for assassinating a clan elder.
Pfft!
Uchiha Kyo's head flew off, Uchiha Karasu beheaded the Second Elder with a single slash.
It's ironic that Uchiha Kyo had just praised him.
"Go to Uchiha Jiro's house, then to Mitokado Homura's house. Take advantage of the Nine-Tails' rampage and kill these high-ranking officials. Then we'll become the department head!"
These individuals were crude and simplistic in their thinking, showing no regard for the consequences or the reaction of those in power.
"Okay! Let's go!"
More than ten clansmen responded.
"Bury this old guy first. He even called himself a leader of the Hawks faction along with Uchiha Setsuna. What a cowardly fool."
Uchiha Karasu coldly instructed the clansmen beside him.
Just as everyone was about to make a move, Uchiha Kyo's figure vanished into nothingness.
