Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 110 Those who play with fire will get burned.

Fugaku Uchiha was sleeping.

Suddenly, I heard a rapid knocking on the door.

He opened his eyes, somewhat puzzled.

What's going on in the middle of the night?

"I'll go take a look."

Fugaku Uchiha gave Mikoto Uchiha a reassuring look, put on his clothes, and opened the door.

"Yashiro?"

Within the Uchiha clan, he had great trust in the Eighth Hokage.

He was a great help to the Konoha Police Department, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him the vice-captain.

Possesses analytical and leadership skills.

"Chief, come with me."

The Eighth Hokage of Uchiha said in a deep voice, "There is something that requires your decision."

Fugaku Uchiha found it increasingly strange. Couldn't he say it here?

But out of trust, he didn't ask anything and followed Uchiha Hachiro to a room.

"Chieftain."

Uchiha Inahisa and Uchiha Tetsuka rose and bowed.

Just as Fugaku Uchiha was about to speak, he saw Seinosuke Sarutobi behind them.

He was startled and rushed forward, reaching out to check her breath, before turning away stiffly.

"Tell me, who killed him?"

"Chieftain."

The Eighth Hokage of Uchiha recounted his experiences, including the results obtained through interrogation using his Sharingan.

"How is that possible?"

Fugaku Uchiha instinctively didn't believe it, "The look of panic I saw on Hiruzen Sarutobi's face that day didn't seem fake."

Moreover, he didn't believe that a powerful figure known as the "Suppressor of Endurance" could do such a despicable thing.

"Clan leader! It's an undeniable fact that Sarutobi Seinosuke possesses Wood Release."

Uchiha Inagi asked urgently, "He's not from the Senju clan, so where would he get his Wood Release technique?"

Fugaku Uchiha remained silent.

Wood Release isn't some common bloodline limit.

There must be some kind of connection between the mysterious masked man, Sarutobi Seinosuke, Orochimaru, and Shimura Danzo.

It's hard to say what role Hiruzen Sarutobi played in it.

The Uchiha clan is now facing a critical moment of survival.

Now that they've killed Sarutobi Seinosuke, they have no choice but to rebel.

"Did you handle this matter discreetly? Were you detected by the secret service upon your return?"

Fugaku Uchiha sighed inwardly.

He was unwilling to embark on the path of rebellion.

Even with the Mangekyou Sharingan, bloodshed is inevitable.

"Don't worry, nobody knows."

Uchiha Yatsuho said with certainty.

"This matter will be postponed for a while."

Fugaku Uchiha said in a deep voice, "Compared to the entire Hidden Leaf Village, our clan is not strong enough, so we need to plan ahead before we can rebel."

Upon hearing the word "rebellion," the other three men were overjoyed.

Why have conservatives survived to this day?

It was because of Fugaku Uchiha's balancing technique.

In addition, there are the Hokage lineages of Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi.

Now that Fugaku Uchiha has softened his stance, Itachi Uchiha, as his son, naturally has to change his position as well.

"Pass on the notice: the clan meeting will be held at Nanga Shrine tomorrow morning."

Fugaku Uchiha waved his hand and said.

Nanga Shrine is their ancestral home and is very safe.

This new base has been under constant surveillance by the secret service.

Many things are not convenient to discuss in detail.

"Clan leader, what should we do with Sarutobi Seinosuke's body?"

The Eighth Hokage pointed and asked, "Should it be burned?"

"Keep it."

After a moment's thought, Fugaku Uchiha said, "If we rebel, Hiruzen Sarutobi will be our greatest enemy. At that time, we can use Seinosuke Sarutobi's corpse to disrupt his sanity."

"The clan leader's insight is brilliant."

Uchiha Hachimoku showed an expression of admiration.

"You moved Sarutobi Seinosuke's body to the Nanka Shrine overnight for safekeeping."

Fugaku Uchiha then gave the order.

After the three of them left, he sighed deeply, realizing that he had finally embarked on this path.

Although it was late at night, he was no longer sleepy.

Natsume was sleeping soundly.

After all, he has a very fragrant pillow.

But his work was far from over.

The death of Sarutobi Seinosuke at the hands of Uchiha Inahi and Uchiha Tetsuka would intensify Hiruzen Sarutobi's anger.

The biggest result was probably a change in his mind about maintaining the fragile peace between the Uchiha clan and the Konoha leadership.

That's not Natsume's goal.

He had to make people, or rather the entire Hidden Leaf Village, know that the Uchiha clan's demise was caused by Hiruzen Sarutobi's murder of his son.

They can spread rumors and leave a stain on the reputation of this strongest Hokage, making it impossible for him to continue serving as Hokage.

Those who play with fire will get burned.

Hiruzen Sarutobi spent his entire life wielding the Will of Fire, unaware that he was about to be consumed by it.

But Natsume can't do this, lest it affect Tsunade.

The best candidate would be none other than Danzo Shimura.

First of all, he was a master at manipulating public opinion. Whether it was the White Fang of Konoha or the rumor of Naruto being a demon fox, it was all spread by him.

Secondly, he had a motive to frame Hiruzen Sarutobi, after all, he wanted to become Hokage.

Finally, the chosen one is none other than him.

I just can't go to him directly.

Tsunade is currently the most likely candidate to become Hokage, followed by Jiraiya and Orochimaru, with Danzo Shimura being the last choice.

A dying Hiruzen Sarutobi and a young successor.

Danzo Shimura would naturally support the former.

Therefore, he had to make him feel that his chances of becoming Hokage were very high before he would go to great lengths to frame Hiruzen Sarutobi.

The person Natsume is looking for is Orochimaru.

Moreover, he is absolutely interested in participating in the night of the extermination.

After finishing his morning training, Natsume appeared directly in Orochimaru's hall.

"Go and inform him."

He casually picked up the teacup and said.

The snakes in the distance disappeared.

Soon, Orochimaru walked in from outside the door with a gloomy expression.

He was actually reluctant to make a deal with Natsume again.

Because he discovered that this guy was his rival in terms of the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Every single time, it's because of him that I've gained nothing so far.

Although the information Natsume provided was indeed good, it's so annoying.

We can't beat them even if we fight.

This feeling of losing control is what Orochimaru hates most.

"Always keeping a serious face will shorten your lifespan."

Natsume put down his teacup, smiled, and said, "To achieve immortality, one must have a good mindset."

"..."

Orochimaru revealed a sinister smile, "I have already achieved immortality, I don't need your concern."

"Alright."

Natsume was too lazy to explain the flaws of the Undead Reincarnation technique to him. Orochimaru was a smart man, and it was safer to leave some leverage over him.

"You're in Konoha, so you should know about the Uchiha clan's situation, right? Do you think they'll rebel?"

"meeting."

Orochimaru nodded and said, "Given their personalities, it's a miracle they've managed to endure this long."

"It seems you're ready to participate."

Natsume glanced at his face and said, "But I can give you a chance to take all the benefits for yourself, as long as you can swallow it."

"Take it all for yourself? How could that be?"

Orochimaru frowned and asked, "Are you kidding me? If the Uchiha clan rebels, it will inevitably cause a major upheaval in Konoha."

"Because it's very simple, Itachi Uchiha will take action and kill all his clansmen."

Natsume's words left Orochimaru with a question mark on his face.

What the hell?

Even with his personality, he still felt a sense of absurdity upon hearing those words.
