You must know the current situation.
It's not just Uchiha Clan, Root, and Anbu who are confronting each other, but also Hyūga, Aburame, Nara, Yamanaka Clan, Akimichi, and Kurama There are more than ten Ninja Clan people, including E, Tsukikage Clan, Yamashiro Clan, Shiranui Clan, Inuzuka Clan, etc. The total number of the Ninja Clan people, at worst, is already more than a thousand, and at worst all are Chunin's 'enemies' standing on the opposite side.
Once a war starts with such standards, there will be a steady stream of reinforcements from the other side. This is pressure that Uchiha Clan cannot bear. Therefore, Shōji must be dragged out of the crime of active coup and rebellion from the beginning.
We just want to leave, not start a coup.
This will bring different psychological implications to other Ninja Clan people. Sure enough, almost as soon as Shōji appeared, and when those words fell, the emotions in the hearts of all Ninja Clan people, especially the famously conservative Hyuga Hiashi, experienced extremely subtle changes.
If Uchiha Clan is determined to have a coup, in order to maintain the stability of the village and protect their interests, they Ninja Clan will definitely help the village to suppress Uchiha Clan. There is no way Uchiha Clan can really win over these Ninja Clan and the like, you are not popular and feared by others, and you committed the crime of 'Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's Attack' a year ago. At least in the eyes of these Ninja Clan people, the Sharingan in the Nine-Tails fox pupils already represents everything.
Moreover, the existence of the three disciples of Sarutobi Hiruzen, Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade is also a bonus. These three have already reached the Kage Level level and are powerful ninjas who have just reached forty years old.
Fifth Hokage is basically one of the three confirmed candidates (the news of Orochimaru's defection has not yet spread in the village, and has been suppressed for the time being by Third.)
Combined with the prestige of Sarutobi Hiruzen as the shadow of a village and the leader of Konoha for more than thirty years, it is obvious what kind of choice to make, but there is a major premise here that Uchiha Clan really wants to set off a coup.
Now, Uchiha Clan is not planning to set off a coup, but is breaking away from the village, which makes the situation very complicated.
After the Uchiha Clan leaves, will he become an enemy of Konoha? The high probability is yes, but after all, there are other possibilities, right? Five Great Shinobi Villages has been fighting to the death since its establishment, but also in the past decades, there have been varying degrees of contact with each other.
Uchiha Clan broke away from Konoha today. In the future, he may become the enemy of Konoha, or he may re-align with Konoha. These are all bad things, but if Uchiha Clan is prevented from leaving here, it will definitely trigger a war!
Uchiha Clan may be destroyed as a result, but what about those who participated in the war? The loss will definitely not be too low. They know very well how strong Uchiha's fighting power is. Now there is Uchiha Shōji, a terrifying young man who possesses Mangekyō Sharingan. If he really takes action, he can completely destroy Uchiha Clan, which is barely acceptable.
What if not?
Let Uchiha Clan continue outside, especially Shōji, a genius who is only 15 years old, and grow further. What kind of terrifying enemy will they face in the future?
After all, the risks and benefits are still too disproportionate.
Uchiha Clan is not really planning a coup, and core interests that are not affected do not constitute any reason to take action.
Looking at the "fierce Red Eye" of more than two hundred Uchiha tribesmen on the opposite side, especially the Uchiha Shōji standing at the front, the determination deep in the hearts of these Ninja Clan people has undergone fundamental changes.
The action of taking a few steps back seemed so serious and decisive at this moment!
Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo at the front can also notice the subtle changes in the attitudes of these Ninja Clan people. It can even be said that Torifu Akimichi, who is a close comrade, has subtle psychological changes at this moment. Uchiha Clan does not want a coup, but just wants to leave the village. The future is indeed uncertain.
But the present moment is something that can be grasped.
No one really wants to start a war again, and the older generation is very clear about how terrifying Uchiha Clan and Mangekyō Sharingan are at the height of their power, including Nara Shikaku, Yamanaka Inoichi, and Akimichi Chōza. Although they are the younger generation, they also have a high degree of understanding of the people who are already in power.
This is the power that can control Tailed Beast!
Of course, they don't know that there is a gap like Mangekyō Sharingan, but it is precisely because of this unclear point that they become more vigilant and fearful deep in their hearts.
"A clan has left the village!? What are you doing!"
Third couldn't find the right words for a while, just the expression that became very cold.
"I think there is no rule in the village that prohibits Ninja Clan from withdrawing, right? Since the village can allow Ninja Clan to join, it should be able to allow Ninja Clan to withdraw, let alone Whether it's us Uchiha Clan who founded Konoha! Or Third, are you really determined to destroy us Uchiha Clan?"
Shōji met Sarutobi Hiruzen's gaze and said coldly.
This is a decisive attitude.
Words of deliberate guidance.
They all made Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression change.
Danzo, who was in the back position, looked even more ugly. The eyes he looked at Shōji were filled with such a dangerous luster.
"Fugaku-kun, is this your clan's answer?"
It's a very tricky situation, and I don't want to let Uchiha Clan go so easily, but if we really want to go to war with the Uchiha Clan, Sarutobi Hiruzen has many concerns.
This is a completely difficult situation to decide.
"That's right, Third, this is the common determination of our family. I hope Third you can agree with this. Our family has no nostalgia for the village at all. Since we hate each other, why force ourselves to stay together? Third doesn't really want to see the worst unfolding and outcome, right?"
Fugaku raised his eyebrows and said as if he was pointing something.
The more than two hundred Uchiha adults in the position behind him all simultaneously burst out with an extremely powerful wave.
The expressions of Sarutobi Hiruzen and Mitokado Homura changed slightly again.
"Absurd! This is a flagrant act of betrayal! If a ninja leaves the village, it is an act of betrayal! Since Uchiha Clan chose to join Konoha back then, he is a member of Konoha. Now, leaving the village without any permission is an act of betrayal by Chi Guoguo! According to the regulations of the Ninja Village, any traitor must be punished in the most severe way!"
This became a cold and dangerous atmosphere.
On the far left.
Shimura Danzō's stern words.
Then, many people had not yet reacted, and were even a little confused.
"Root, follow my order and kill the rebels, Uchiha Clan!"
Danzo's fierce look on his face simply did not give Sarutobi Hiruzen on the side a chance to think or react.
With a wave of your hand!
"Danzo, you!"
"Wait a minute!"
"This!?"
"Hundan!"
"How can it be repaired?"
The next moment!
Hundreds of black shadows rushed up.
The ruthless attitude he revealed caused the scene to undergo extreme mutations and chaos!
