As for rebellion-
Liumu did not care.
In fact, to him now, the Uchiha Clan's behavior was like that of a child who had just gotten a perfect score.
They loved showing off, and loved throwing disrespectful tantrums even more.
They had achieved something.
They could afford to be fearless.
But a parent had to deal them a measured blow at the appropriate time.
Before a mistake happened, there was still time to set everything right.
But if that mistake had already become reality-
Then all that indulgence was irresponsible, both to oneself and to others.
The next day.
Liumu was seated in Fugaku's office early.
Together, the two looked at the dozens of core Uchiha Clan members assembled before them.
Surprise showed on everyone's faces.
"Liumu, everyone is here."
Fugaku spoke softly beside him.
Liumu nodded at his words.
He slowly stood.
He walked over to the assembled group and smiled faintly.
"I know you must be wondering why you were all suddenly called here today."
"Whether it's my position or your Uchiha Clan, none of you understand the current situation. In fact..."
Liumu stopped there and looked at everyone.
A trace of mockery passed through his eyes.
"In fact, I heard you seem to be planning a rebellion."
Liumu's voice exploded like thunder in their minds.
Looking at this young, even slightly languid man before them, they wondered how he could speak such words within the Uchiha Clan with such casual ease.
Wasn't he worried?
Or rather, where did his confidence come from?
Fugaku frowned as well.
Because no one outside the Uchiha Clan knew anything about this.
Liumu had only recently returned to the village. How had he found out?
"There's no need to be shocked. Whether this is true or not, I won't punish you."
Liumu
