The reason why they left Konoha at this time was naturally not because Baili Yuan and Uchiha Shisui showed any flaws. Hatake Kakashi was indeed just testing before, but nothing was discovered.
On the contrary, Baili Yuan's usual actions like an ordinary child relieved a lot of their suspicions, and Uchiha Shisui's disguise was flawless.
Even if Konoha is willing to investigate their origins, it will take some time.
If they leave now and do nothing more, Konoha probably won't stare at them anymore.
Uchiha Shisui has figured out the situation of the village and the family at this time. Although it is not clear whether the genocide will happen, he realizes that the relationship between the village and the family has become more acute, and there is a high probability of it happening. contradiction.
So the next step is to turn into darkness, so we must leave Konoha in an open and honest manner.
This is also to avoid dragging down the Shou Da family.
After confirming that no one was following them, Baili Yuan and Uchiha Shisui took off their disguises and put on their original appearances.
The next step is to sneak back to Konoha.
Waited patiently.
Go and see if the village and the Uchiha clan will reach that point.
On the way back to Konoha, Uchiha Shisui also told Baili Yuan what he learned and his inferences.
"Now it seems that Chief Fugaku's bloodless revolution plan has failed..." Speaking of this, Uchiha Shisui himself sighed a little secretly.
Although he also betrayed this plan at the beginning, he just planned to implement it in reverse.
Unfortunately, Danzo interrupted the plan and attacked him, which also made him completely disappointed with reality and chose to commit suicide.
Otherwise, the Uchiha clan would not be where they are now.
Uchiha Shisui, who has read the comics, and combined with his contact with Danzo, he just wants to say - Danzo is shit!
…
Uchiha clan land.
Recently, the frequency of Uchiha clan meetings has increased significantly.
The big shots seemed to be busy preparing for something.
Only those old, young, women and children who lacked strength or were not ninjas were still living a stable life.
What the top Uchiha officials were plotting was, of course, to launch a rebellion.
It was just this rebellion that had been discussed for several years.
And there seems to be no clear results recently.
At the clan meeting.
The leader of the Uchiha clan and the captain of the Konoha Guards, Uchiha Fugaku sat at the head of the table, looking at the clan members below who were having a heated discussion.
Several Uchiha elders lined up on both sides of him.
At this time, the situation within the Uchiha clan was somewhat serious.
Nowadays, there are many voices of dissatisfaction among the Uchiha clan, which has created a lot of negative emotions.
As one of the two main families that founded the village, there was no one to serve as Hokage. This was the first dissatisfaction.
Being feared by the village, starting from the second generation, the family was constantly suppressed. Even after the Nine-Tails Rebellion, they were suspected and moved out of the core area. This was the second dissatisfaction.
The strong man in the family, Uchiha Shisui, died, but there was no result. Uchiha Itachi separated from the family, which was the third dissatisfaction.
As for others who are disliked by the people in the village and disliked by others... these are considered small problems. The Uchiha clan is proud and will not care about such small problems.
Status is shaken, security is threatened, and interests are lost.
Dissatisfaction is growing.
Uchiha Fugaku once wanted to find a balance between the family and the village and maintain peace between the two parties.
However, with the continuous oppression of the village, Danzo broke through the bottom line again and again, and Uchiha was treated more and more unfairly. Uchiha Fugaku realized that blind concessions could not win the tolerance of the village.
The family gradually became separated from the village.
Two years ago, the family was mainly divided into hawks who were eager to rebel, doves who didn't want to rebel, and neutrals who wanted to watch the show.
At that time, there were still many people in the family who wanted to live peacefully in the village, otherwise the Uchiha clan would not have betrayed Uchiha Madara.
However, after Uchiha Shisui died, the village did not give an explanation, and Uchiha Itachi became suspected.
The voices of hawks have increased greatly, while doves rarely speak out, and neutrals favor hawks.
In fact, since two years ago, Uchiha Fugaku has been unable to suppress the voice of rebellion. He had even begun to plan similar things at that time, but instead of violent rebellion, he hoped to carry out a "bloodless revolution" - - Arranging for Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi to contact the top management of Konoha. The ultimate goal is to control the top management of Konoha at a smaller cost and thereby control the village.
However, Uchiha Shisui's death was unclear and he was suspected of being killed by someone. Uchiha Itachi began to distance himself from the family and was suspected by the family.
Let Uchiha Fugaku's plan fail.
Although Uchiha is still the Uchiha of Konoha, there seems to be no place for Uchiha in Konoha.
If the fourth generation were still around...
Uchiha Fugaku suddenly remembered the man who was like the sun. He was once the hope of the Uchiha clan to gain trust. However, the Nine-Tails Rebellion happened, and the Uchiha clan was also under suspicion.
Now I heard that his child is not doing well, this is Konoha, haha.
Uchiha Fugaku looked at the tribesmen who were discussing below, still hesitant.
Because Uchiha Fugaku knew that if he wanted to rebel, he could only win and win the position of Hokage. If he lost, Uchiha would be in ruins, and the Uchiha clan would be stigmatized as "betrayers".
But where in the village is it so easy to fight?
Just the thoughts in Uchiha Fugaku's heart could not completely suppress the voice of rebellion.
What Uchiha Fugaku can do now is to prepare as much as possible and look for other possibilities.
"The village has gone too far!"
"The village owes us Uchiha a Hokage!"
"Recently, the village has begun to suppress our Uchiha clan again. Last time the ANBU..."
The extreme character of the tribe also made Uchiha Fugaku shake his head.
"Yashiro, what do you think?" Uchiha Fugaku looked at Uchiha Yashiro beside him.
"Clan leader, please prepare yourself first. The third generation is already old." Yashiro Uchiha didn't say much.
But both of them knew it.
Rebellion is the voice of most high-level clan members, including several elders. At this time, the clan leader can no longer control everything. Instead, the clan leader has gradually been affected, and even caused dissatisfaction among some clan members.
Moreover, Yashiro Uchiha was also a supporter of the rebellion in private.
Uchiha Fugaku stared at Uchiha Yashiro.
Yes, the third generation is already old. How much fighting ability does the old third generation have?
Not only the third generation, how many well-known strong men are left in Konoha?
As for those ordinary jounin and small family ninjas, Uchiha really didn't pay attention to them.
Although arrogant, it is also true.
Preparing for rebellion at this time will make the village aware and alert the village. Of course, Konoha has been on guard against the Uchiha clan for more than a day or two, but the arrow is already on the bow.
The bowstring was held in Uchiha Fugaku's hand.
But have things really reached that point?
Itachi, can you still return to the family?
…
Hokage Tower.
Hokage's office.
There was only a dim oil lamp burning on the table.
The Sandaime Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi was sitting in the Hokage's seat, smoking a cigarette, the hazy smoke covering his face, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.
The Uchiha was getting more and more uneasy.
But he still had Itachi.
Uchiha Itachi, the eldest son of the Uchiha clan leader, followed the Will of Fire.
In other words, on their side.
Soon, a figure appeared in the Hokage's office, half-kneeling on the ground.
It was Itachi Uchiha.
It was also Sarutobi Hiruzen who called Uchiha Itachi. Sarutobi Hiruzen also needed to talk to Uchiha Itachi about the Uchiha clan's actions.
And Itachi Uchiha naturally knew the purpose of Hiruzen Sarutobi - the Uchiha clan cannot rebel!
If the Uchiha clan rebels, regardless of whether they can succeed, as long as they rebel, Konoha will suffer losses, which will attract the covetousness of other ninja villages and eventually plunge the ninja world into war again.
"Itachi, what do you think of the Uchiha clan?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked slowly, staring at Uchiha Itachi.
"The Uchiha clan is the Uchiha of the village." Itachi Uchiha replied.
This answer satisfied Sarutobi Hiruzen, but he sighed, "But the Uchiha clan doesn't think so."
In the eyes of the current Uchiha clan, the village owed Uchiha.
Uchiha Itachi was silent for a moment and said again: "The safety of the village cannot be threatened."
Sarutobi Hiruzen paused his hands and couldn't help but look at Uchiha Itachi again. He was satisfied with this answer.
Then Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed, and then said: "Yes, and the honor of the Uchiha clan should not be tarnished. Itachi, do you have any wishes?"
Uchiha Itachi was silent for a moment.
"My brother..."
No one knew what Hiruzen Sarutobi and Itachi Uchiha talked about that night. After Itachi Uchiha left, Hiruzen Sarutobi put down the cigarette in his hand and called the guard ANBU to come in.
"Go and call Elder Danzo."
Sarutobi Hiruzen has been sitting in the Hokage's seat for many years. People, once they get older, they feel nostalgic. For example, they can't bear to part with the chair beneath them.
Also because of sitting on this chair, Sarutobi Hiruzen could only see that the Uchiha clan was about to rebel, but he would not see what he had done.
Power covers up bad deeds.
…
Uchiha Itachi returned to the clan and stood outside the clan, staring at the family under the night.
The night seemed to separate them.
But for the village, for peace...
"Brother Zhisui, do you think my choice is right?"
It's just that after Uchiha Shisui's death, the family's attitude made Uchiha Itachi completely disappointed in the family.
This kind of family has no future.
A masked figure suddenly appeared and blocked Uchiha Itachi's path.
A cold voice came from under the mask.
"Uchiha Itachi, Danzo-sama invites you."
Uchiha Itachi didn't ask any more questions, turned around and followed the other person away.
A crow landed not far away, inadvertently staring at Uchiha Itachi's figure, a pair of samsara eyes hidden in the crow's eyes.
