"what?"

The elder was startled and quickly shook his head.

"There really isn't any news on that."

Ryosuke understood what was going on when he saw his grandfather's expression.

It's likely that someone has leaked this information again, inciting the villagers' resentment towards the Uchiha clan.

It's highly unlikely that this was done by Danzo, the Nagakage of Konoha.

The morning session had just ended, and he'd already made sure the whole village knew by the afternoon?

He's unlikely to have that kind of speed, and besides, he didn't even know about it, so how could he have had time to make arrangements?

As for the Hyuga clan, that's unlikely too.

The news circulating in the village now is all incomplete and distorted.

That means it could only have been done by the Third Hokage.

Only the other party has such a motive.

So he simply told his grandfather the whole story.

Chapter 66 Arriving at the Clan Meeting

His grandfather looked indignant after hearing this.

"Kumogakure is really audacious, trying to kidnap the Hyuga main family's daughter under the guise of peace negotiations."

"This is clearly an attempt to seize the Hyuga clan's bloodline limit, the Byakugan."

"They didn't come here to negotiate peace at all."

"Ryosuke, you did a good job."

"To sacrifice the lives of villagers to appease the anger of the perpetrators would be truly shameful."

“I will explain this to the clan chief for you.”

"it is good."

Ryosuke felt it was necessary to explain.

At the same time, he was also thinking that he should show off his strength in front of his tribe, otherwise his words would not count.

While others might not know, he did know that the Fugaku clan leader had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Now that I've activated four gates, and with my powerful physical attributes, I really can't say for sure that I can suppress my opponent.

Moreover, given how cautious the other party is, they probably won't easily reveal that they've awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Isn't it just that he's afraid his clansmen's confidence will surge and urge him to launch a coup?

At the same time, it was also out of fear of the suspicion of the Konoha leadership.

Without a strong military deterrent, they really did take action.

Let's open the fifth gate of the Eight Gates Formation first.

This makes you invincible in the early stages.

After his grandfather passed away, he decisively began practicing the Eight Gates Formation.

The refined chakra surged through the Du Gate at the back of the spine.

When the amount of chakra is increased during the impact, pain will follow.

At the same time, the door is being opened little by little.

This caused his aura to surge considerably.

However, the excruciating pain in his spine still caused him to reduce the amount of chakra he extracted.

The surge of power emanating from him vanished again.

After resting for a while, he resumed his cultivation.

The training lasted for more than two hours, leaving him drenched in sweat and feeling weak.

I was in pain from head to torso.

This kind of pain would be unbearable for anyone else.

It seems he reached his limit today, but fortunately he still gained something.

At least half of the Du Gate has been successfully opened.

All that's left is to keep pushing.

After lying down for a while and recovering somewhat, he finally took a proper bath and rested.

Two days passed by in the blink of an eye.

Tonight is the start of the Uchiha clan's clan meeting.

Almost all the Uchiha clan members who had awakened their Sharingan came to the shrine.

Seated in the main seat were the clan head, Uchiha Fugaku, the eldest elder, Uchiha Shin, the elder Uchiha Yatsushiro, and other elders.

However, the three people at the top have the most say.

They were all waiting for someone to arrive.

That's Uchiha Ryosuke.

He secretly promised the Third Hokage, in the name of the Uchiha clan, to wage war against Kumogakure.

Whether they were moderates, radicals, or even neutrals within the clan, they were all very dissatisfied.

Although Elder Uchiha Shin had already explained Ryosuke's reasons for doing so.

However, the moderates do not like war, especially since sacrificing one Hyuga clansman could bring them a peaceful life.

What reason does Ryosuke Uchiha have to object?

They were preparing to demand that the clan chief severely punish this fellow.

Even the radicals disagreed.

Especially now, with the Konoha leadership constantly pressuring the Uchiha clan.

It was incredibly unwise of Uchiha Ryosuke to deplete his own clan's strength for the sake of other clans.

So what if one member of the Hyuga clan dies?

It will not hinder the Uchiha clan in the slightest.

Even the Eighth Hokage, who was optimistic about Ryosuke Uchiha, became somewhat dissatisfied.

Uchiha Itachi and even Uchiha Izumi attended this clan gathering.

Everyone was waiting for the culprit to arrive.

Even the Grand Elder was very worried. Although he explained the reason, the clansmen present did not buy it.

He sighed helplessly.

Is the only way to reduce Ryosuke's punishment later by relying on his reputation?

However, Ryosuke, the culprit, did not arrive for a long time.

Almost all the members of the tribe were filled with righteous indignation.

Such a disrespectful person towards the clan is truly audacious. Does he think that just because he is the grandson of the Grand Elder, he can do whatever he wants?

Uchiha Izumi clearly noticed the gazes of her clansmen and couldn't help but feel a little worried for Ryosuke.

He asked Uchiha Itachi, who was standing nearby.

"Itachi, do you think Ryosuke did something wrong?"

"Of course you're wrong."

Itachi Uchiha said without hesitation.

"Every ninja of Konoha should be willing to sacrifice their life to protect their village."

"This is our mission."

“But Uchiha Ryosuke started the war, which is the greatest sin.”

Uchiha Izumi couldn't help but think along the lines of Itachi's idea.

That makes a lot of sense.

However, she was also indignant about what the Hidden Cloud Village had done.

"Itachi, although Ryosuke acted a bit impulsively, isn't the behavior of the Hidden Cloud Village disgusting?"

"Under the guise of peace negotiations, they came to our village and kidnapped the eldest daughter of the Hyuga family,"

"Itachi Uchiha said helplessly."

"Of course it's despicable, but now is not the time to start a war. We can only sacrifice the individual to save the collective."

Uchiha Izumi had no choice but to agree after hearing this.
