Releasing Hatred, Inciting Rebellion
Lin Yan had originally planned to leave.
After all, he didn't want to get too involved in the affairs of the Uchiha Clan.
But then he heard Fugaku Uchiha speak again, addressing his clansmen in a different tone.
Hearing this tone, Lin Yan couldn't help but be curious, so she continued listening.
"I understand how you feel."
"I know you're all very unhappy, frustrated, and even want revenge right now."
"Since its founding, from joining Konoha Village to now, the Uchiha Clan has never suffered such terrible treatment."
"Those villagers were indeed a bit impolite."
"But we are still under the rule of Konoha. We can't solve problems with individual force alone. We need to consider more factors."
"In short, don't worry, I will absolutely not let the Uchiha Clan suffer any losses. I will personally handle the negotiations with the village regarding this matter."
"It's time to resolve these issues all at once! Dragging it out isn't good for anyone!"
"Today I will go to see the Third Hokage..."
While reassuring his clansmen, Fugaku Uchiha promised them that he would steadfastly protect the interests of the Uchiha Clan.
At the same time, he cannot allow the conflict to escalate further.
He urged his fellow tribesmen to exercise restraint during this time and refrain from causing any further trouble.
Normally, the matter should have ended here.
It would be best if clan head Fugaku Uchiha personally intervened and negotiated with the village's higher-ups.
The rest is to follow his instructions, try to exercise restraint, keep your distance from the villagers, and avoid further conflict.
But the seeds of hatred that were sown just now have already sprouted.
The idea of rebellion grew wildly in the minds of every member of the Konoha Police Force.
Someone suddenly suggested to Fugaku, "Lord Fugaku, why don't we just rebel!"
"Our Uchiha Clan has made significant contributions to Konoha. When Konoha was first founded, it was our ancestors who joined forces with the Senju Clan to quell the chaos and disorder in the Ninja World!"
"Now that the Senju Clan has completely disappeared, shouldn't our Uchiha Clan be the true masters of Konoha?"
This shout from the clansman immediately changed Fugaku Uchiha's expression.
He quickly and discreetly looked around.
Fortunately, this is the internal training ground of the Konoha Police Force.
Ordinary people can't get in.
But Fugaku Uchiha was still uneasy, and looked at the clansman who had spoken with a stern face. "What nonsense are you spouting!"
He snapped at her, somewhat annoyed.
"Fugaku, I think Junji makes a good point. Why have you been preventing us from stating these facts?"
"Our Uchiha Clan was one of the two great clans that founded Konoha Village. To be honest, at least half of Konoha is our territory!"
"Look at our Uchiha Clan now, what have we become? We've not only lost the most central piece of land in the village, but the entire clan has been relocated to the edge of the village."
"And what's more, we have to endure the cold stares and criticisms of those despicable villagers, and even those ninjas from humble backgrounds!"
"I just want to ask them, what gives them the right? What right do they have to look down on us? If it weren't for us protecting Konoha, where would they get this peaceful and stable life to enjoy?"
As the saying goes, one stone stirs up a thousand waves.
The emotions that had been suppressed for a long time were released by one or two Uchiha clan members, and more and more Uchiha clan members began to echo them.
They were filled with righteous indignation and were frantically expressing their discontent.
One of the clansmen said, "Lord Fugaku, although the strength of our Uchiha Clan is not what it used to be, we still have some outstanding clansmen!"
"Shisui is the most powerful expert in our clan. His reputation is no less than that of the ' Golden Flash ' Minato Namikaze back in the day!"
"And your eldest son, Itachi, has now become an elite member of Konoha's ANBU."
"With those two helping us from the inside out, and with your leadership, we have a very high chance of succeeding if we suddenly launch an attack on the higher-ups!"
"Once we remove the village's leadership from power, we'll have the situation under control. Without the Third Hokage's command, the rest of the village won't dare to do anything to us!"
The more these Uchiha clan members talked, the more excited they became, and the more outrageous their ideas became.
They even began to openly discuss the details of how to rebel.
Upon hearing their words, Fugaku Uchiha's expression turned extremely ugly.
So all my earnest advice and persuasion had absolutely no effect?
These ideas are too dangerous.
After a moment of bewildered contemplation, Fugaku Uchiha interrupted everyone.
"Quiet down, all of you!"
"I don't want you to bring this up again, especially in public!"
"Even in private, never mention it!"
"Anyone who dares to say such a thing again will be violating the Uchiha Clan rules and will be dealt with according to those rules!"
"I will now seek an audience with the Third Hokage to discuss how to resolve this conflict!"
"You all better go back to work quietly and stop causing trouble..."
After Fugaku Uchiha a stern rebuke, he ignored the reactions of his clansmen.
He turned around hurriedly, his face full of worry, and rushed towards the Hokage Building.
After listening to these conversations, Lin Yan felt a mixture of amusement and exasperation.
"Sometimes, with great power comes great responsibility."
"When a person reaches a certain position, they often become less free to act as they please, and are easily swayed by various opinions..."
"So, what will become of the Uchiha Clan?"
Lin Yan thought about it with amusement, then leisurely jumped down to the tree.
But just then, he suddenly realized something and looked up at the Hokage Rock behind the Hokage Building.
His Observation Haki allowed him to clearly sense that someone on the mountaintop was watching him.
Lin Yan didn't even need to see who the other person was to realize who the person watching her was.
"It seems it's time to meet with him."
Lin Yan chuckled lightly, then leaped onto the roof of the Hokage Building.
Then, his figure flashed again.
When they reappeared, they were already on the cliff above the Hokage Rock.
But just as Lin Yan's feet touched the ground, a sudden threat struck.
The air behind her rippled, and the moment a spatial vortex appeared, a black staff stabbed towards Lin Yan's back.
Lin Yan neither dodged nor evaded, allowing the opponent to strike her body.
What are you doing?
He turned around casually and Obito Uchiha, who had appeared.
