Footsteps sounded outside the door, Uchiha Takashi pushed it open and walked in, saying as he entered, "So you've come to surrender to the Uchiha, is that right?"
The Hyuga Branch Family head suddenly turned around, looking at Uchiha Takashi with a shocked expression. Then he understood. Right, if the Uchiha Clan wanted to attack the Hyuga Clan, how could their clan head, as their strongest fighter, not step in?
"That's right, our Hyuga Branch Family is willing to surrender and help the Uchiha Clan eliminate the Hyuga Main Family," the Hyuga Branch Family head said, bowing his head.
Uchiha Takashi waved his hand. "It's not that you don't have enough bargaining chips, or that your conditions aren't tempting enough, but rather that we simply can't determine whether what you're saying is true or false."
"What if you're lying to us, and you're actually trying to buy time so the Main Family can escape?"
The Branch Family patriarch quickly shook his head. "No, no, how could that be? Our feud with the Main Family has been brewing for a long time. Although the other elders don't support me, I am the patriarch of the Branch Family family! I'm the one who calls the shots in the entire Branch Family!"
Uchiha Takashi held up one finger and shook it. "No, you don't understand what I mean. If an ordinary Uchiha comes, or if they don't have any other special methods, we simply won't be able to tell if what you're saying is true or false."
Therefore, to ensure the risk is controllable, anyone would choose to silence you and act immediately! But you're lucky you ran into me.
Uchiha Takashi spoke, he immediately opened his Sharingan: "I happen to have a way to determine whether what you're saying is true or false?"
Hearing this, the Hyuga Branch Family head finally felt relieved. He was certain that everything he had said was true. Since the Uchiha Clan possessed the ability to discern truth from falsehood, did that mean the Uchiha Clan would accept his plan?
"Is there anything I can do? Determine if it's a lie or the truth, or do you need anything else?" The Branch Family head looked up at Uchiha Takashi and asked.
Uchiha Takashi simply closed his eyes, deactivated his Sharingan, and sat back down in his chair, looking at the Hyuga Branch Family head. "It's all done. I can assure you that what you said is true."
"Two days is too long. One day. We'll only give you one day. Get everything you need to do done within one day. Our Uchiha Clan can't wait much longer."
The Hyuga Branch Family head nodded. Two days was his conservative estimate; if things were done quickly and speed was the priority, one day would be enough!
"Alright, one day it is. After one day, regardless of the outcome, your Uchiha Clan can begin your operation. I can guarantee you won't encounter a single enemy on your raid route. If you do, just attack!"
At that very moment, inside the Main Family's residence, the Main Family patriarch stretched, then suddenly sneezed. He rubbed his nose, touched the back of his head, and muttered to himself, "Why do I feel a chill down my back? Is it a cold?"
The Uchiha delegation's headquarters, Hyuga Branch Family head was stationed, had already left. Kyō Uchiha looked at Uchiha Takashi and asked in confusion, "Clan head, how can you guarantee that what the Hyuga Branch Family head said is true?"
What if he's lying to us and is actually secretly gathering troops? Wouldn't all the elite members of our Uchiha Clan die here then?
Uchiha Takashi stretched out a hand, interrupting Kyō Uchiha's words. "Senior, first you must understand these points. First, the elite of our Uchiha Clan are right here. If they make any unusual moves, we will be able to detect them quickly."
Secondly, one of the abilities of my Sharingan Mangekyō Sharingan the ability to distinguish truth from falsehood; no lie can hide from me. Therefore, I can be certain that what he said is true.
Third, they may not yet know just how powerful the Mangekyou Mangekyō Sharingan of our Uchiha Clan truly is. The awakening of the Mangekyō Sharingan is often accompanied by immense power. Even if they are lying, I have the ability to lead my clansmen out of the encirclement and escape unscathed.
Seeing that Uchiha Takashi had said so, Kyō Uchiha couldn't say anything more and could only nod and say, "I understand, clan leader. Since you've agreed to this plan, it means we really intend to take action against the Hyuga Clan."
Does the Hyuga Clan's current attitude mean they have truly sided entirely with the Senju Clan?
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Takashi narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth, saying, " The Hyuga Clan is now nothing but a greedy dog."
Their clan leader has become completely obsessed with money, wanting to extract even more benefits from our Uchiha Clan. The Uchiha Clan dares not allow such a fickle and insatiably greedy person to remain an ally.
So, on my way back, I had already decided that I needed to completely eliminate the Hyuga Clan and absolutely prevent them from siding with the Senju Clan. However, I didn't want to spend the money, and coincidentally, the Hyuga Branch Family already harbored the intention to rebel.
"Then, with the cooperation of our Uchiha Clan, we can eliminate the threat posed by the Hyuga Clan and continue to receive their support in dealing with the Hyuga Clan Senju Clan."
Hearing Uchiha Takashi's words, Kyō Uchiha nodded thoughtfully. "He's right... As expected of the clan leader."
Uchiha Takashi sat in the chair, now all he had to do was wait patiently, but... could they really wait that long?
Anyway Uchiha Takashi couldn't wait any longer. He suddenly opened his eyes and asked, "On my way back, I casually checked out the Senju Clan's area."
Furthermore, I've learned that the Senju Clan has sent people to the Hyuga Clan. Do you think the Senju Clan will just stand by and watch us eliminate the Hyuga Clan?
Kyō Uchiha immediately understood Uchiha Takashi's meaning. "Clan leader, you want to resolve this major problem of the Senju Clan ahead of schedule. If you need it, I'll go and call for help right now."
Uchiha Takashi curled his lips, shook his head, and said, "No, no, no, the Senju Clan is not for us to deal with. Let the Hyuga Branch Family handle it."
While I can confirm that they genuinely intend to surrender to the Uchiha, no one can guarantee that they will not become enemies of the Senju Clan afterward.
Therefore... I need them to eliminate the envoy sent by the Senju Clan, to prove to us that the Hyuga Branch Family will help the Uchiha deal with the Senju Clan.
Kyō Uchiha surprised. "Oh, in that case, even if the Hyuga Clan doesn't want to be enemies with the Senju Clan..."
Or perhaps they've already killed members of the Senju Clan, and the Senju Clan wouldn't let them go.
Uchiha Takashi snapped his fingers, "That's right, this move is called using someone else to do the dirty work, killing two birds with one stone! You'll tell this plan to the head of the Hyuga Branch Family family later."
Let him handle it himself. If he's smart enough, he'll deal with the Senju Clan just before we, the Uchiha unleash our power.
