Sparks flew, the campfire crackled and popped, and Uchiha Itachi stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
"Why would you use the entire Uchiha Clan to drag Konoha down to the hands of Uchiha Huayue?"
"The entanglement and troubles between Konoha and the Uchiha were sown by the First clan leader, Uchiha Madara, since the founding of Konoha. I am simply going to drag the Konoha High Command and the clan, who are wary of the Uchiha, into the abyss together."
Uchiha Fugaku sighed deeply. Looking back on the history of the Uchiha Clan, the two rebellions by the First and Second Hokage led the Konoha High Command to target the Uchiha both openly and covertly.
Today, the Fourth Hokage, who should have been the most likely to ease tensions, has died unexpectedly, and the Uchiha Clan is also involved in this.
You're saying it was Uchiha Madara who did it? Who knows if it was someone secretly dissatisfied with Konoha who took the opportunity to find out the Jinchūriki's delivery time and then secretly attacked him?
If you throw yellow mud into your pants, it has to be something, even if it isn't!
"However, there is a solution to this problem. The only one who can execute this plan is you, Itachi."
"As a member of the Anbu, you have the easiest access to the Third Hokage and Konoha High Command advisors. My plan is Bloodless Revolution..."
In the dead of night, the moonlight, as clear as water, spilled into the courtyard.
The air is filled with the fragrance of flowers, a gentle breeze caresses the face, and a petal drifts down onto the clear wine in the cup, creating ripples.
"I'm really surprised that you two came together. What happened?"
In the pink and purple Cherry Blossom Forest, three figures hesitated until a pair of clear black and white eyes looked at them, then they took a few steps forward.
" The Uchiha Clan Head came. Did you agree to what he said?"
Uzuki Yugao murmured softly, her beautiful face pale and bloodless, and her hands, which had never wavered before, trembled slightly.
After more than ten years of cultivation, his unwavering resolve, which had remained unshaken by any bloodshed or turmoil, began to tremble slightly with his hands.
"You, really, really want to..."
Yuhi Kurenai stammered, unable to utter the next words. If she did, the bonds and entanglements that had bound them together for over a decade would crack open.
"Ugh! One by one they're driving me crazy. In the end, we'll have to wait for Anko to make her grand entrance."
Mitaraishi Anko stepped forward, her eyes fixed on the black-haired youth drinking alone under the moon, clad in a moon-white haori.
"Do you really intend to ruthlessly destroy Konoha, turn against your former comrades who fought alongside you, and completely overthrow Konoha?"
A sudden gust of wind arose, and the surroundings fell silent. Those eyes, filled with an unusual magic, raised their heads and met the unwavering brown eyes before them for a moment.
The next second, Anko inadvertently took a half step back, then suddenly remembered something, puffed out her cheeks, and angrily took a few steps forward again.
"What?!"
"You care a lot? Fugaku did come once, but his request wasn't to help the Uchiha make a demand on Konoha, but rather..."
After Huayue explained Fugaku's demands, the three of them relaxed. They were truly afraid that the entire Konoha would be reduced to ruins due to the war.
"Is this fatherly love? I never imagined that Fugaku would only make this one request. But what about your attitude?"
"Attitude? I have no interest in Konoha, that's my attitude. Similarly, the Uchiha Clan is not an irreplaceable existence for me."
"The progress of the times is always a spiral upward. Without paying certain prices, this world with distorted underlying rules will not usher in the power of change."
Anko looked bewildered, but soon burst into a hearty laugh.
"Anyway, as long as you don't join the rebellion, that's good. When the Third Hokage asked me, I thought my secret of sneaking off to eat dango and Anko during the mission had been exposed, hahaha..."
Huayue chuckled to himself, knowing that with Anko's understanding of the world, she would have no chance of grasping the deeper meaning behind those words.
"Phew, that's good. The Third Hokage wants to eliminate the destabilizing factors in the village. As long as the Uchiha Clan sever ties with the traitors among them, the village will absolutely not harm the Uchiha Clan civilians. This is the Third Hokage's promise."
With a long sigh, Yugao smiled gently, her beautiful smile radiant.
"I never imagined that the undercurrents in Konoha had become so serious. If it weren't for your involvement, the Third Hokage wouldn't have told us all this."
After saying this, Yuhi Kurenai looked terrified. If the Uchiha and the village were to clash, the Fourth Great Ninja War might break out again.
"Okay, the crisis is over. I'll go check out the nearby dumpling shop. I'll be going now."
Just as Anko was about to turn and run away, she felt a sudden tightening on her wrist. After a violent upheaval, she was greeted by the refreshing scent of grass and trees.
The once flexible, slender waist is now useless; instead, the unusually delicate waist adds a touch of charm.
"Long time no see, is this all you wanted to say to me?"
"Let go, you bastard! How could I, the dignified ruler, submit... submit... I was wrong."
The two beautiful faces met, blushes rose on their cheeks, and they murmured to themselves unconsciously.
"Let's go. We came at the wrong time. Let's leave this place to these two lovebirds, hmph..."
"No, you've come at just the right time!"
The Celestial Maiden's ribbons had somehow become entangled around the waists of the red and Yugao maidens. Under the moonlight, their fleeting figures disappeared into the mansion, and the curtains were quietly drawn.
In the dead of night, in a secluded corner of Konoha, the Konoha F4 gathered together.
The Uchiha Clan's main plans for the coup, their weaponry, and their advance routes—all of this horrified Sarutobi Hiruzen.
This even includes various methods used to coerce Uchiha Huayue, capture relevant personnel, and detonate the Nine-Tailed Fox. These are all plans that could cause Konoha to collapse, and they are truly chilling.
"A bloodless coup—this was Fugaku's carefully considered plan; it's certainly his style..."
After a long silence, the high-ranking officials Sarutobi Hiruzen hesitated, while Itachi lowered his head, knowing in his heart that his father's plan had no chance of succeeding.
"Now that things have come to this, there is really no way to turn back. Give me some time so I can think this over carefully."
After the Third Hokage and the two advisors left, Danzo still and waited for a long time before speaking.
"Don't take Hiruzen's words seriously. He can't come up with a plan to stop the rebellion. With Uchiha Huayue's existence, the Uchiha Clan's villainous forces are destined to become more and more emboldened."
"The crucial task of upholding the reputation of the Uchiha Clan is entrusted to you, Itachi. Do what you want to do, Anbu will help you clean up everything."
After a long silence, Itachi nodded slightly, turned and left.
In the darkness, Danzo a cold laugh.
"Can Uchiha without clan members still be considered Uchiha? Because of your weakness that you value so much, there's nothing you can do even if you're unwilling!"
