"If the Konoha High Command really intends to take action, then we'll have no choice but to fight them to the death."
Uchiha Fugaku said firmly.
This scene actually looks quite convincing; if Ziyun were there, he'd probably laugh his head off.
Uchiha Fugaku was willing to sacrifice the lives of his Uchiha Clan clan for the sake of his son Uchiha Itachi and Sasuke Uchiha. In Ziyun's eyes, this behavior was utterly cowardly and selfish.
"Good, it's good that you have such determination. However, given the strength of the Uchiha Clan, I'm afraid they won't be able to escape unscathed from the hands of the Konoha High Command."
Minato Namikaze said.
He had already learned from Ziyun that Uchiha Fugaku's eldest son Uchiha Itachi, had been brainwashed by the Konoha High Command.
At that time, Uchiha Itachi will personally take action against the Uchiha Clan.
Itachi was very strong, but more importantly, he was Uchiha Fugaku's biological son.
Based on Minato Namikaze's understanding of Uchiha Fugaku, if he were to see his own son standing opposite him, he might very well wipe out the Uchiha Clan.
"That's true, especially after Shisui Uchiha died, our hopes have become even slimmer."

Uchiha Fugaku clenched his fist.
He had also heard about Shisui's death; it was very sudden, and Danzo or Hiruzen Sarutobi must have been involved.
Shisui's death was a major blow to the Uchiha Clan.
Because Shisui also awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, he earned the reputation of "Body Flicker Shisui" during the Third Shinobi World War, and his true strength ranks among the top three in Konoha.
Having Shisui was the Uchiha Clan's biggest trump card in their rebellion, but who could have imagined that the village would act first and kill Shisui?
" Fugaku, do you really have to stay in Konoha? The Uchiha Clan has suffered so much injustice in Konoha, why stay here and hang yourself on one tree?"
Seizing an opportunity, Minato Namikaze earnestly advised.
"Where else can Konoha Uchiha Clan go besides Konoha?"
"With the Sharingan within us, if we leave Konoha, other major villages will definitely target us, and we'll die even faster then."
Uchiha Fugaku understood this point very clearly.
"Trust me, I can provide the Uchiha Clan with a very good place: Kumogakure ( Kumogakure )."
Minato Namikaze said.
" Kumogakure? Kumogakure is indeed a good place to go, but the Fourth Raikage might not accept us, because the Uchiha Clan had a significant conflict with Uchiha Mikoto in the past."
Uchiha Fugaku smile.
He had thought about it, but after careful consideration, he decided against it.
The former head of the Uchiha Clan had offended Uchiha Mikoto, and quite seriously at that; Uchiha Fugaku dared not take that risk.
"If you're willing, I can guarantee the Uchiha Clan's safe incorporation into Kumogakure; all you need to do is trust me."
Minato Namikaze's resolute gaze was fixed on Uchiha Fugaku.
" Minato."
Seeing Minato Namikaze's gaze, Uchiha Fugaku's heart stirred.
Uchiha Fugaku greatly admired Minato, who, despite lacking noble lineage and Kekkei Genkai, earned the title of Yellow Flash through his own talent.
Moreover, his tenure as Hokage was a relatively comfortable period for the Uchiha Clan in Konoha.
I still want to believe in Minato Namikaze.
" Minato, I'm willing to believe you, but only because of you. I hope you won't let me down."
"Uchiha Fugaku.
After all, the Minato Namikaze in front of him possesses the Flying Thunder God Technique, so he must be the real Minato.
I believe he ultimately found a new path for the Uchiha Clan.
In fact Uchiha Fugaku was originally very confident about the coup, but Shisui's death dealt a great blow to the morale of the Uchiha Clan.
It seems unlikely that the Uchiha Clan will be able to successfully stage a coup now.
"Don't worry, I've already received authorization from Lord Raikage. If you can join, he'll definitely welcome you."
Seeing that Fugaku agreed, Minato breathed a sigh of relief and told Uchiha Fugaku the truth.
"So, you've already joined Kumogakure?"
Upon hearing Minato's address to Ziyun, Uchiha Fugaku's pupils dilated in shock.
It's unclear how the Konoha High Command will react to this news: the Fourth Hokage didn't die, but instead joined the Kumogakure.
The Konoha High Command must be furious.
More importantly, Konoha High Command Minato Namikaze leadership had done to Naruto Uzumaki over the years.
When Naruto was mentioned earlier, Minato's eyes were full of anger, so he must have been going through a lot of suffering these past three years.
The Konoha High Command, you're really asking for trouble. Even Minato, a man who perfectly inherited the Will of Fire, has gone to Kumogakure.
Sooner or later, your retribution will come.
A slight smile crept onto Uchiha Fugaku's lips.
After all, the conflict between the Uchiha Clan and the Konoha High Command had completely erupted, and now he only wanted to see the Konoha High Command disgraced.
It's going to be very exciting.
" Fugaku, how long do you plan to stay before leaving Konoha?" Minato Namikaze then asked.
"Let's do it as soon as possible. The Konoha High Command should be making preparations by now. I plan to evacuate the Uchiha Clan clan members in small batches."
Uchiha Fugaku thought for a moment and then spoke.
This matter cannot be delayed, because we don't know when Konoha might make a move.
Especially after Shisui's death, Uchiha Itachi became the only remaining channel of communication Uchiha Clan and the Konoha High Command leadership.
However, Fugaku couldn't get any useful information from Uchiha Itachi, and he felt that something was wrong with his son.
Go and call Itachi over.
Uchiha Fugaku then instructed his clansmen to summon Uchiha Clan. Itachi worked in the Anbu, and even if he didn't know about the missions of the Konoha High Command, he should have been able to sense them.
However, at this time, Itachi had already been summoned by Danzo alone.
Inside the Root, Danzo and Itachi meet.
Danzo himself deeply disliked Danzo, because his mentor and friend Shisui was ambushed and severely injured by Danzo, who even gouged out one of his eyes.
However, as a result, he also awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, and Shisui entrusted one of his eyes to him.
He wanted to fulfill Shisui's last wish, protect the village, and also do his best to protect the Uchiha Clan.
However, if Uchiha Itachi had to choose, he would still think protecting the village was more important.
" The Uchiha Clan can no longer be allowed to live. We'll launch a surprise attack on them tonight."
Danzo looked at Itachi indifferently, his tone harsh.
The conflict between the Uchiha Clan and the Konoha High Command has a long history, with Danzo being the Danzo who is most at odds with the Uchiha Clan.
Of course, no major clans were at odds with Danzo, except for the Uchiha Clan, which was particularly hostile to Danzo.
While Danzo inherited the ideas of the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, a more personal reason was that the Uchiha Clan possessed the Sharingan, a power Danzo had long coveted.
Danzo would have had to wipe out the Uchiha Clan just for the Sharingan.
"So suddenly? Has the village and the Uchiha Clan really come to this?"
Itachi was somewhat shocked; this mission came too suddenly.
However, Itachi then realized he couldn't do that, because there was something more important in his heart to protect—his younger brother, Sasuke.
"I understand, but I hope you'll keep our promise, or I won't let you off the hook."
Uchiha Itachi spoke with a subtle threat, his eyes transforming into the Mangekyō Sharingan as he stared at Danzo.
Danzo felt very uncomfortable being stared at, and a hint of killing intent rose in his heart. However, he knew that he probably couldn't defeat Uchiha Itachi in a fight, after all, the opponent had the Mangekyō.
The reason I was able to kill Shisui was because of a sneak attack; if it weren't for the sneak attack, I wouldn't have been able to defeat Shisui either.
Uchiha Itachi must have been wary of Shisui's potential killing, which is why Danzo refrained from making a move.
Moreover, he needed Itachi to act as the executioner and kill the Uchiha Clan.
Uchiha Itachi then left the Root and found Madara Uchiha, also known as Obito Uchiha.
Obito readily agreed. He had no feelings for the Uchiha Clan; right now, all he cared about was Rin, and he didn't care about anyone else.
Furthermore, the Uchiha Clan wasn't exactly friendly to Obito. When Obito was still a loser, he was often ridiculed by his clansmen.
He Obito that Obito had insulted the Uchiha Clan 'Uchiha Clan talent and disgraced them.
Itachi returned to the clan's territory expressionless and remained silent when he encountered his clansmen. He was then summoned to Fugaku's place by the Uchiha Clan clansmen.
The conversation between the two ended quickly, Uchiha Fugaku was unable to obtain any reliable information about the Konoha High Command from Uchiha Itachi.
After Uchiha Itachi left, Minato Namikaze also appeared.
"Be careful of your son. He's been turned by the Konoha High Command and might target the Uchiha Clan."
Recalling Ziyun's words to him, Minato Namikaze spoke to Fugaku.
"Alright, let's retreat tonight. I'll lead the Uchiha Clan clan to retreat from the northeast of the village, which is the direction of the Land of Lightning."
"Uchiha Fugaku.
If it's about a coup, the Uchiha Clan probably can't pull it off, but if it's just about leaving Konoha, he believes they can manage it.
