Danzo's Invitation

In fact, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado's concerns were not unfounded.

They were right.

Because Danzo did not immediately return to his Root Organization headquarters after leaving the Hokage's Office.

He went downstairs and strolled around leisurely.

Lin Yan happened to leave behind Danzo and Fugaku Uchiha.

When Lin Yan arrived downstairs, she happened to see Danzo and Fugaku Uchiha passing each other.

Don't be fooled by Fugaku Uchiha's polite demeanor towards Danzo in his office.

In reality, he knew very well that Uchiha Clan among all the high-ranking members of Konoha.

Even many past actions and policies targeting the Uchiha Clan were decided by this man.

So at this moment, although Fugaku Uchiha brushed past Danzo, he had no intention of greeting him.

The two of them ignored each other, brushed past each other, and walked away in opposite directions.

Lin Yan watched Fugaku Uchiha's retreating figure and couldn't help but smile.

Everyone thought that Fugaku Uchiha was weak-willed, timid, and indecisive.

"Actually, he also has a strong side..."

Thinking this, Lin Yan looked at Danzo, who just stopped and looked at her.

Seeing that Lin Yan was making eye contact with him, Danzo immediately changed direction and walked towards Lin Yan.

"Would you be interested in discussing this?"

Danzo asked the question.

Lin Yan really didn't expect this guy to take the initiative to talk to her.

Even more unexpectedly, Danzo actually tried to cooperate with him.

He sensed that things weren't so simple, so he didn't immediately give a very positive response, but instead asked somewhat lazily, "What does Lord Danzo want to talk about?"

"This isn't a good place to talk. Come with me."

After finishing his sentence, Shimura Danzo turned and walked towards the outside of Konoha Village.

Lin Yan wasn't worried at all about the other party using tricks or anything like that.

Without a second thought, he immediately followed.

The scene of him leaving with Danzo was witnessed by Uchiha and Shisui Uchiha, who had just come downstairs.

Both of them were somewhat surprised by this.

However, they didn't pay much attention to Lin Yan and Danzo.

Because compared to this, there are clearly more important things that require their involvement.

Upon returning to the Uchiha Clan, Fugaku Uchiha immediately ordered a meeting of all clan members of genin rank and above.

In about half an hour, all the Uchiha clan members arrived.

This naturally includes Shisui Uchiha and Uchiha.

However, before Fugaku Uchiha could explain his intention in gathering everyone, a member of the Uchiha Police Force spoke up first.

"Lord Fugaku, shall we prepare to take action?"

The member of the Uchiha Police Force looked at Fugaku Uchiha with a hint of anticipation and asked.

Prior to this, Fugaku Uchiha had promised them that he would give serious consideration to the possibility of launching a coup against the Konoha leadership.

Upon hearing the words of this Uchiha Police Force, the other clan members immediately perked up.

The expressions on everyone's faces were not fear, dread, or worry, but rather determination and anticipation.

Of course, there are a small number of people in the tribe who are not like this.

For example, Shisui Uchiha and Uchiha.

The two of them felt very uncomfortable with the fanatical rebellious mentality of the surrounding tribesmen.

Fugaku Uchiha had just promised Hiruzen Sarutobi that he would return to personally persuade the clan members and do some ideological work with them.

We should strive to resolve the conflict between the Uchiha Clan and Konoha as much as possible.

Now, hearing what this tribesman said, his expression became somewhat awkward.

Fugaku Uchiha slowly crossed his arms, shook his head seriously, and stared at the Konoha Police Force member who had just spoken to him.

"If I remember correctly, your name is Masaki, right?"

Upon hearing Fugaku Uchiha's question, Uchiha Maki immediately nodded. "Yes, Fugaku."

"Good."

Fugaku Uchiha nodded again, then looked up at the other members of his clan.

He took a deep breath before speaking again, "It's like this, the reason I've gathered everyone here today is because there's something very important I want to discuss with you all."

"In addition, I have a few pieces of good news to share with you."

Upon hearing what Fugaku Uchiha said, the emotions of the clan members present went through a rollercoaster.

When Fugaku Uchiha mentioned that he had something very important to discuss, everyone inevitably felt nervous and couldn't help but speculate.

This phrase, "discussing important matters," could refer to either plotting a rebellion or discussing other things.

Discussing this would be quite exciting.

It will make everyone feel an exhilarating sense of facing death without fear.

However, for example, the recent condition proposed by the higher-ups of Konoha Village required them to publicly apologize to all the villagers in order to resolve the conflict.

This is unacceptable.

What made everyone happy and excited was that Fugaku Uchiha had a few good news to announce.

The Uchiha Clan has been living a very frustrating life these past few years.

Everyone had been harboring a lot of resentment for a long time.

Good things just never seem to happen to me.

If there is any good news, then it is definitely worth looking forward to.

Everyone was now watching Fugaku Uchiha, waiting for him to continue.

After a brief moment of reflection, Fugaku Uchiha decided it would be best to start with the happy things.

He thought for a moment before speaking again, "I just met with the Third Hokage and received some good news."

"First of all, the Third Hokage has already represented our Uchiha Clan and traveled to the capital of the Land of Fire."

"As a result, the Third Hokage secured support for us from the Daimyo's Court's government, and the Daimyo promised to provide our Uchiha Clan with a large sum of money."

Fugaku Uchiha finished speaking, he noticed that the expressions on the faces of all the clansmen present had become puzzled.

Everyone looked at each other, seemingly not understanding.

Seeing their confusion, Fugaku continued, "I know that the reason you've been so worried and opposed to compensating the villagers is because you're all not well-off."

"The Uchiha Clan hasn't had an easy time these past few years."

"But I assure you all, those difficult days of the past will soon be a thing of the past."

"We can use the funds provided by Daimyo's Court to compensate the villagers for their losses and rebuild our relationship with them."

"This is also laying the foundation for our Uchiha Clan to return to Konoha and regain the respect of the villagers..."

Before Fugaku Uchiha could finish speaking, a chorus of boos could be heard.

Soon after, some members of the tribe began to express their dissatisfaction and incomprehension.
