"That's right, what if the Uchiha Clan rebels?"
Hatake Sakumo in from the side.
These two were the only two high-ranking officials present who did not have any personal interests involved; they were truly dedicated to the sake of Konoha.
Unfortunately, the two were outnumbered and outmatched, and no one cared what they were thinking; everyone was only concerned with their own interests.
"Hmph, the Uchiha Clan clan, do they dare to cause such a ruckus?"
Danzo coldly, completely unconcerned.
The Uchiha Clan wants to rebel? Perfect! Wipe Uchiha Clan all out, collect their Sharingan to strengthen yourself and the Root members—wouldn't that be wonderful?
" Danzo, Konoha's strength is already waning! If the Uchiha Clan suffers further losses, how will we fight the other ninja villages!"
Jiraiya and Danzo are arguing again.
"If you ask me, if I had become Hokage, Konoha would never have ended up like this. Ultimately, it's because some people lack the necessary skills."
Danzo retorted without the slightest fear.
He's not the Danzo who used to be Danzo at will anymore. How dare a Jiraiya question him?
"You!"
Jiraiya was furious and almost got into a fight with Danzo, but he was eventually stopped.
Just then, Orochimaru spoke again:
"Actually, we don't need to worry about the Uchiha Clan rebelling, because their candidate for the next clan leader is Uchiha Fugaku."
" Uchiha Fugaku was a genius, but I'm sure everyone knows what his personality is like."
Orochimaru stuck out his long tongue and licked his lips, saying, "I know."
Orochimaru believed that Uchiha Fugaku was talented, but a coward.
When faced with a problem, their first thought is not to solve it, but to back down.
This person would never lead the Uchiha Clan in rebellion.
" Orochimaru is right."
After hearing Orochimaru's words, the Konoha High Command also realized what was going on.
If Uchiha Fugaku were to become the clan leader, given his personality, it would indeed be unlikely that he would do anything outrageous.
Because this person really is a coward, even though his talent is considered genius among the Uchiha Clan.
"Alright, that's enough. Let's not make this public for now, and focus on winning the battle at hand."
Hiruzen Sarutobi finally stepped forward to make a decision, deciding that it was best not to hand over the Uchiha Clan Head and the Uchiha Grand Elder to Kumogakure for the time being.
If you hand over the money as soon as the other party asks you to, it will have a very negative impact.
It would be best to hand them over only as a last resort.
Konoha then clashed once again with Sunagakure and Iwagakure.
However, facing two major ninja villages that possessed three Tailed Beast, and with the opposing ninjas having an overwhelming numerical advantage, Konoha still suffered a crushing defeat.
The war has even spread to the Land of Fire.
"No, we must now hand over the Uchiha Clan Head and the Uchiha Grand Elder to Kumogakure."
After suffering another defeat, Hiruzen Sarutobi convened another high-level meeting and specified the main topic.
He now knew that handing over the two men was the best opportunity, because if he didn't now, it would really be too late.
" Minato, I'm entrusting you with persuading the Uchiha Clan. This is an S-rank mission, so you must complete it successfully. I have faith in your abilities."
Hiruzen Sarutobi then entrusted this task to Minato Namikaze, whom he had the highest hopes for.
Because this kind of thing is definitely a thankless task.
If anyone were to run into the Uchiha Clan and demand the surrender of the clan head and the eldest elder, they would be being very polite by not fighting with that person.
If a fight really breaks out, the Uchiha Clan will not be in the wrong.
Therefore, we must find someone with formidable strength who can escape unscathed even if the Uchiha Clan attacks to complete this task.
"Damn it, Hiruzen Sarutobi actually betrayed me and the Grand Elder like that!"
"We've made so many contributions to Konoha!"
Upon hearing Minato Namikaze's words about this, the Uchiha Clan Head immediately flew into a rage.
He couldn't believe that Hiruzen Sarutobi would agree to such an absurd thing.
Using their own lives and the First Elder's lives to pave the way for Konoha is a complete betrayal.
You know, the Uchiha clan leader of Konoha felt he had done his utmost for the sake of the village, and this is the kind of treatment he received?
Therefore, the Uchiha Clan Head began to plot a rebellion.
However, he overlooked a crucial point: Uchiha Fugaku, the Pops of Uchiha Itachi, who was known for his filial piety.
It can be said that Uchiha Itachi bears a great deal of responsibility for being able to raise such a filial son as Uchiha Fugaku.
After all, he was a coward in the original story. Not only did he not choose to resist his filial son, but he also dragged the Uchiha Clan clan members who rebelled with him into the mess, leading to the massacre of the Uchiha Clan.
Minato Namikaze and Uchiha Fugaku were good friends. He went to Uchiha Fugaku Uchiha Fugaku told him the importance of this matter.
Uchiha Fugaku was moved by Minato Namikaze, and he also felt that this was a good opportunity to show Konoha that the Uchiha Clan was a clan that could sacrifice for Konoha.
This would also dispel the prejudice of most clans and commoners in Konoha against the Uchiha Clan.
After all, Uchiha Fugaku had great ambitions, and he also wanted to compete for the Fourth Hokage.
If I could become Hokage, I could definitely improve the Uchiha Clan's relations within Konoha.
" Uchiha Fugaku, you traitor! You actually wanted to betray the Uchiha Clan!"
When the Uchiha Clan Head saw that Uchiha Fugaku had brought a large number of the Uchiha Clan clan members to persuade him, he became so angry that he started cursing loudly.
After all, Uchiha Fugaku's actions were more of a coercion than a persuasion.
Uchiha Fugaku was someone he personally trained and even treated like his own son.
Over the years, Fugaku has frequently appeared in Konoha and enjoys high prestige within the Uchiha Clan. Everyone believes that he will definitely be the next clan leader.
The Uchiha Clan Head has already designated Uchiha Fugaku as his successor.
Now it seems I've really raised a very filial son!
"Clan Chief, this is for the village, for Konoha. Moreover, if you are willing to sacrifice your lives, it will greatly improve the status of the Uchiha Clan, and the Uchiha Clan may very well produce a Hokage!"
"Therefore, for the sake of the Uchiha Clan, you should also make a sacrifice. The Uchiha Clan will forever remember your contributions!"
Uchiha Fugaku spoke earnestly and patiently.
In terms of strength, he is no longer part of the Uchiha Clan.
He is now below the clan chief.
After all, during the Third Shinobi World War Uchiha Fugaku was spurred on by the successive deaths of his friends and family, which finally awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan.
" Uchiha Fugaku, how could you say such a thing? Are you even human?"
Enraged, the Uchiha Clan Head made his move.
The Uchiha Clan Head was only a one-eyed Mangekyō user and was no match for the young and powerful Uchiha Fugaku.
Thus, the Uchiha Clan Head was defeated and lost consciousness. As for the Uchiha Grand Elder, due to the aftereffects of the battle with the Nine-Tails, he has not yet woken up and is unable to help at all.
The current state of the Uchiha Grand Elder is somewhat similar to that of a person in a vegetative state.
With the help of the filial son, Uchiha Fugaku, Hiruzen Sarutobi handed over the Uchiha Clan Head and the Uchiha Grand Elder to Kumogakure.
Hiruzen Sarutobi actually wanted to extract the Mangekyō Sharingan from the two before handing them over, but considering that such an action might anger the Kumogakure, Hiruzen Sarutobi dared not do so and directly handed over the Uchiha Clan Head and the elder to the Kumogakure.
"Since Konoha has agreed to our demands, we will naturally send troops."
Seeing that Hiruzen Sarutobi personally brought over the unconscious Uchiha Clan Head and the Uchiha Grand Elder, Ziyun nodded in satisfaction.
The fact that both of them arrived with their eyes intact shows that Hiruzen Sarutobi is indeed very knowledgeable.
After all, if those two lost their eyes, he would definitely direct his anger at Konoha.
However, Hiruzen Sarutobi is quite savvy.
Ziyun then handed the Uchiha Clan Head over to Mikoto, who then killed Mikoto with a single slash and removed the Uchiha Clan Head's one-eyed Mangekyō.
He then killed the Uchiha Grand Elder and took his Mangekyō Sharingan.
This gives Kumogakure three more Mangekyō Sharingan, allowing them to train at least two Kage Level shinobi or even Peak Kage Level shinobi!
After removing the Mangekyō Sharingan, Ziyun ordered his men to install the three eyes and then told Kushina, Kushina, Tsunade Mikoto supporting Konoha.
Then Kushina and Mikoto each led a thousand Kumogakure soldiers in two separate groups to support Konoha.
One route leads to Iwagakure), and the other to Sunagakure ).
The actions of the Kumogakure immediately attracted the attention of the Iwagakure and Sunagakure, and even the Kirigakure under the control of Madara Uchiha was watching the Kumogakure's movements.
After all, everyone is paying close attention to Kumogakure right now, even though they haven't made a move.
But once they make a move, it will be a bloodbath, so how could any of the major ninja villages dare not pay attention?
"What exactly is the Kumogakure trying to do? Who are they planning to target this time?"
Upon receiving this news, Ōnoki was extremely alarmed and immediately convened a meeting with the high-ranking officials of Iwagakure to discuss the matter.
