"Even if we fail, we must kill that two-faced Third Elder!" Fū Senju said solemnly.
Rewinding to a short time ago, upon receiving the news, the First Elder and the Fifth Elder Oto Senju, urgently led their men to Fū Senju's location. Seeing the two arrive, Fū Senju finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Time was of the essence, so he immediately began to make battle plans.
"We have no way of knowing whether the Third Elder has sided with the other side, so all we can do is eliminate him completely!"
Fū Senju addressed the hastily assembled crowd. "Those people are waiting for us over in the conference room! They have no idea that we already knew about their plans!"
Therefore, their operation is doomed to failure! Elder, you take men and follow us. When you hear any commotion inside, surround the entire conference room. Do not fire any cannons. One person...
Fifth Elder, you take men to launch a surprise attack on Third Elder. You must eliminate this two-faced bastard completely!
After hearing these words, Oto Senju nodded and, at Fū Senju's prompting, left the scene ahead of time, heading towards the Third Elder's place.
Just as Fū Senju was about to leave for the Hongmen Banquet, a series of crackling sounds suddenly came from outside the door!
"It's Explosive Tag!" Fū Senju's expression immediately darkened. He rushed to the window and looked outside. Sure enough, as he expected, a large group of rebel soldiers had already surrounded them.
"Those damned traitors! Why did they suddenly make their move ahead of time? Shouldn't they still be there setting up a trap?" Fū Senju said through gritted teeth.
The Grand Elder, who was standing nearby, sensed something was wrong, but the situation was too urgent for him to think about it carefully. He could only quickly say to Fū Senju:
"Chief, the traitor has already made his move, but we're not entirely unprepared. We've gathered quite a few people here! We might not necessarily lose to the traitor!"
Fū Senju nodded, then pointed at the Grand Elder and said, "Alright! You take some men to hold off their attack, and I'll bring men to support you from behind!"
Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder's lips twitched violently. "Could you be any more cowardly? If you're afraid of death, then hide in the back! How dare you even say you'd support me from behind!"
However, Fū Senju was the clan leader, and even though the Grand Elder had a million curses in his heart, he dared not say them aloud. He could only obey orders and lead his men to the front.
That night, the sound of Explosive Tag was incessant, explosions and shouts of battle filled the air, and the entire administrative center was in complete chaos.
Meanwhile, at the Third Elder's residence not far away, the Third Elder stepped out of his room and narrowed his eyes as he watched the explosion erupting in the darkness.
"It seems they've already made their move," the Third Elder said leisurely, settling into his chair. His assistant asked, "Aren't we going to help?"
The Third Elder sneered, "Help? Help whose help? Fū Senju? Or the Second Elder? What does this have to do with us? No matter who wins, I'll still be sitting in my position."
If that's the case, why should I expend my own strength to participate in this battle? It's just their..."
Before he could finish speaking, a violent explosion suddenly erupted outside his wall, followed by angry shouts.
"Traitor, prepare to die!"
The Third Elder, amidst the loud shouts, nearly fell off his chair. He scrambled up the wall to look outside.
Oto Senju stood at the very front, followed by many Senju clan members, who were currently engaged in fierce combat with his subordinates Senju.
" Oto Senju! What are you doing?" the Third Elder demanded angrily. "Do you know that what you're doing is treason?!"
Upon hearing this, Oto Senju couldn't help but laugh, "Rebellion? Now you're the one rebelling! You two-faced bastard! And now you're turning around and biting the hand that feeds you?"
The Third Elder's eyes widened. "Dude, which eye of yours saw me saying I was going to rebel? You just open and close your mouth and say I'm going to rebel? Where's my evidence?"
Just as the Third Elder was about to explain, another group of rebels arrived.
Upon arriving and seeing Oto Senju standing at the Third Elder's door, the leader of the group didn't say much and immediately gave the order to begin the attack.
There's no need to explain this, is there? The first thing I saw upon arrival was the Third Elder and the Fifth Elder together.
The Third Elder didn't side with the Fifth Elder, and they didn't side with Fū Senju either. So what's the Fifth Elder doing here? It's obvious he's here to pick someone up!
When Oto Senju saw them arrive, a group of people suddenly started to attack. Senju Oto's eyes widened, and she pointed at the Third Elder, yelling, "So, you still say you didn't plot a rebellion? Everyone else has come to pick you up!"
You traitor! Prepare to die!
Oto Senju immediately ordered the team to split in two: one half to deal with the Third Elder, and the other half to fight the attacking coup plotters.
The Third Elder, hiding at home, was on the verge of tears. What made it even more unbearable was that the group of coup plotters who came were not there to rescue him, but to eliminate him!
Without a word, the group of coup plotters launched a fierce attack on his house. The Third Elder was no longer willing to say anything. Now both sides wanted to kill him. What had he done to deserve this?
He didn't know what was going on, why both sides wanted to kill him; all he wanted to know was whether he could survive.
At that very moment, far away in the Uchiha Clan, Uchiha Takashi suddenly sneezed. He quickly sniffed, "The weather's gotten a bit chilly lately, I've caught a cold."
In front of the residence of the Third Elder at the Senju Clan's stronghold, a battle ensued, accompanied by a thoroughly enjoyable, exhilarating, and intensely passionate exchange of words—a veritable cacophony of phrases omitting hundreds of idioms—following its conclusion.
The group responsible for the coup all lay on the ground. The leader glanced at the Third Elder one last time, pointed at him, and then collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Meanwhile, Oto Senju stood nearby, panting heavily, a sword in her hand, her eyes dangerously fixed on the Third Elder.
The Third Elder swallowed hard. "Um... would you believe me if I said I'm actually on your side?"
Oto Senju curled her lips into a smile, "You can't just say you're on our side when we've won... Die, you traitor!"
A flash of cold light appeared, and the Third Elder cried out, "Ugh!" Thud—The Third Elder died.
Meanwhile, in the administrative center, the battle had ended. The Second Elder, leading a large force, successfully replaced the First Elder.
However, despite Fū Senju's superior combat skills, he was still defeated and cut down by Fū Senju.
The coup d'état members brought by the Second Elder were all wiped out, thus bringing the massive Senju Clan coup to a dramatic end.
The story ends with the First Elder and Third Elder killed, and the Second Elder defeated and killed. As for the Fourth Elder, sorry, who are you asking about? I don't know him.
