Uchiha Setsuna's two Three-Tomoe Sharingan were each taken by Meikyō and Fugaku.
Izanagi plus a Three-Tomoe Sharingan almost represents a chance for a full recovery, which is extremely precious.
As expected, Uchiha Setsuna's disappearance caused a huge uproar within the clan.
Many people suspect that it was done by Uchiha Fugaku, because his terrible relationship with Uchiha Setsuna was well known within the clan.
In particular, Uchiha Setsuna and Uchiha Shinjō, who belonged to the same faction as Uchiha Yōsuke Setsuna, both stood up to identify Uchiha Fugaku.
They didn't know about Izanagi, but they did know that Uchiha Setsuna decided to visit the clan head's residence that night.
Unfortunately, Uchiha Setsuna's disappearance began that very night.
However, they couldn't say this outright; they simply stood up and questioned Uchiha Fugaku.
However, to everyone's surprise, Uchiha Meikyō and Uchiha Yu stood up at this time to support Uchiha Fugaku and provided Fugaku's alibi.
That evening, the three of them discussed matters concerning reform at Meikyō's home.
"Then, Elder Meikyō, what do you think happened to Elder Setsuna?"
At Meikyō's home, Uchiha Yōsuke and Uchiha Shinjō visited him together, seeking Meikyō advice.
They really can't understand the situation anymore.
However, they were also the people who were closest to Uchiha Setsuna, so they were also worried that they would follow in Uchiha Setsuna's footsteps.
The person who orchestrated this behind the scenes was capable of killing Uchiha Setsuna, and they are capable of killing them as well.
"It's very simple. Although there are some conflicts between me and Clan Chief Fugaku, we have both deliberately kept them within a controllable range. However, someone is unwilling to see this situation, so he killed Elder Setsuna, intending to add fuel to the fire and make the division within the clan even more turbulent."
Meikyō poured tea for Uchiha Yōsuke and Uchiha Shinjō, who were sitting opposite him, and said calmly.
Uchiha Setsuna is dead. It's time to squeeze out his last bit of value and take over all his legacy within the clan.
Uchiha Yōsuke is the captain of the 8th Division of the Konoha Military Police Force, Uchiha Shinjō is the captain of the 9th Division.
These two, along with Uchiha Setsuna, relied on each other to seize a portion of the Konoha Military Police Force's power from Uchiha Fugaku's subordinates.
"Please Meikyō, Elder Mingjing."
Uchiha Yōsuke forced himself to calm down and asked Meikyō.
"A simple analysis is all it takes to figure out who's behind this. You two, think about it: Elder Setsuna was an elite Uchiha with the Three-Tomoe Sharingan. There aren't many people in the village who could easily wipe him out overnight."
Meikyō comfortably took a sip of the premium tea that Fugaku had given him, and pointed to himself with his finger.
"I am not arrogant, but there is a world of difference between the Three-Tomoe Sharingan and the Mangekyo. It wouldn't take me much effort to kill Elder Setsuna. However, there is not much conflict between me and Elder Setsuna. On the contrary, there is a lot of room for cooperation. The battle lines within the clan are also close to unification, and we are not far from becoming allies. I am the least likely person to kill Elder Setsuna."
Meikyō first eliminated the correct option.
Uchiha Yōsuke and Uchiha Shinjō in agreement with Meikyō's words.
"The second one is the Fugaku clan leader. He also has the Mangekyō Sharingan. But as a fellow Mangekyō Sharingan user, I can be certain that the Fugaku in front of me at that time was the real person, because the eye power of the Mangekyō Sharingan cannot be faked."
Meikyō extended a second finger, eliminating the second correct option.
The two Uchiha opposite them Jonin repeatedly.
"Among the others, there are only a few who are capable of doing this: my teacher Dan Katō, Tsunade, Minato Namikaze and his teacher Jiraiya, and Orochimaru."
To increase credibility and continue eliminating candidates, Meikyō listed a whole bunch of names in one go.
"The Konoha Sannin and Master Dan are currently on the front lines, so it's obviously impossible for them to do this. There's no conflict between Minato and Elder Setsuna, and given his character, he would never do anything to harm his own comrades from the same village."
Uchiha Yōsuke and Uchiha Shinjō still expressed their agreement.
Although they weren't familiar with Meikyō Minato Namikaze, given their immense Minato in the village, everyone was quite familiar with their character.
Minato Namikaze would never do such a thing.
"Could it be the Third and the village's higher-ups?"
Uchiha Shinjō couldn't help but frown.
"The Third secretly went to the Daimyo's Mansion last week to visit the daimyo and discuss next year's funding. He won't be back until the afternoon, so it's unlikely to be him given the distance."
Meikyō took another sip of tea and told the two people in front of him that only a small number of direct descendants of the Hokage lineage knew the information.
"In that case, the most likely candidate is that Dark One of the Ninja World. Given his level of hostility towards the Uchiha Clan, it's not surprising!"
Uchiha Shinjō gritted his teeth and said.
"That's right. If someone in the village disappears without a trace, the Root is the most likely to take action! Elder Setsuna also repeatedly defied him because of his hostility towards the Uchiha Clan!"
"The assassination of Elder Setsuna, the sowing of Meikyō, and the instigation of internal strife between Elder Uchiha Fugaku, to weaken the Uchiha Clan's strength, could very well have been the Danzo of that evil old devil Danzo!"
"Shimura Danzō!"
Uchiha Yōsuke and Uchiha Shinjō immediately started cursing at Shimura Danzō.
Seeing their reaction, Meikyō nodded in satisfaction.
If we're really going to talk about who should take the blame, it has to be Danzo!
No matter what the blame is, as long as it's Danzo on Danzo, it's guaranteed to be right!
"Captain Yōsuke, Captain Sadate, your current situation is actually very dangerous!"
Uchiha Meikyō put down his empty teacup, looking sorrowful.
Uchiha Yōsuke a beat.
"Elder Meikyō, please speak."
Meikyō raised an eyebrow.
Surprisingly, no one poured them tea. These two seem rather clueless.
However, it's normal for someone from the Uchiha not to understand these social niceties.
"Clan Chief Fugaku and I have been very restrained, trying our best to prevent the situation from escalating further. But I'm worried that Danzo might not be satisfied with the outcome and might continue to target you!"
Uchiha Shinjō nodded to Uchiha Yōsuke.
That is indeed possible.
If one Uchiha Setsuna isn't enough, then adding Uchiha Yōsuke and Uchiha Shinjō, who are from the same faction, will definitely be enough.
Although the Uchiha Clan has the most Ninja Clan Jonin Konoha, losing three Jonin at once is definitely a significant loss.
