They're promoting the "Konoha threat" theory, and spouting nonsense about the Hidden

Chapter 24 The Uchiha's life is also a life!

"Chihaya, have you noticed how strange the way those people are looking at us is?"

This morning, Uchiha Hiroichi got up, ate breakfast as usual, did some light exercise, and then went to the Uchiha clan's headquarters, the guard unit headquarters, to begin his routine patrol of the Konoha streets with his partner, Uchiha Chihaya.

However, as he walked, he suddenly noticed that the pedestrians on the street were looking at him and his companion strangely.

Not only were there no more of the usual evasiveness in his eyes, but there also seemed to be a trace of... sympathy?

How dare he do that!

How could I possibly sympathize with a noble Uchiha?

"You must be mistaken, Hongyi. How dare anyone in this village show such an expression in front of us? And even if they did, it should be an expression of hatred, not pity!"

Uchiha Chihaya, standing to the side, looked at her companion with amusement and mocked him, wondering if he had rewarded himself too much last night and was hallucinating.

Unable to believe it, and thinking he had misread it, Uchiha Hiroichi even secretly activated his Sharingan. However, thanks to the Sharingan's excellent perception, he discovered that he had indeed not misread it.

They, a group of ordinary Konoha villagers, actually dared to sympathize with me!

"I never imagined that the Uchiha clan, so arrogant and domineering in public, would be so cruelly wronged by the village behind the scenes, to the point that they have to rely on the eyes of the departed clan members to survive... Sigh, it's truly lamentable!"

Relying on the eyes of the deceased clansmen?

Aren't the eyes of our deceased clansmen preserved in the forbidden Nanga Shrine?

Oh... they must be jealous of the Uchiha clan's bloodline limit, which allows them to protect their descendants even after death!

"Who can argue with that? Their current privileged status is probably the price the village has paid to appease them! But if it were me, I would rather die in battle than let my descendants live such a wretched existence!"

Hey, what are you guys talking about?

The Uchiha clan's current status in Konoha is entirely due to the efforts of our clan and the small, insignificant help from our ancestor, Madara Uchiha. What are you pitying us for?

At this moment, Uchiha Chizuru, reminded by Uchiha Hiroichi, also noticed that something was wrong between the two and listened with her arms crossed.

"So it's understandable why there are so many freaks in the Uchiha clan! Growing up in that kind of environment, where even breathing is difficult, it's no wonder they either lose their composure or become freaks!"

Which family has the most perverts?

Your whole family are perverts!

Hiroichi Uchiha, who wanted to rush over and take these people who slandered the Uchiha back to the guard unit to teach them a lesson and warn them, was stopped by Chihaya Uchiha.

Having spent a long time with them, he immediately understood what his companions meant: to hear what the situation was before deciding how many legs to break.

"However, on the other hand, killing someone is just a matter of beheading them. Back then, when Madara Uchiha defected, the Uchiha clan didn't have any followers. From that perspective alone, punishing him is acceptable, but isn't forcing him like this a bit too much?"

"Yeah! But then again, the Hokage doesn't seem like that kind of person!"

"Hey! What do you know? Those big shots may seem glamorous on the surface, but who knows how wicked and cunning they are behind the scenes!"

Uchiha Hiroichi agreed with this, after all, Danzo was ranked first on the Uchiha's internal red name list, followed by Hiruzen Sarutobi, and neither of those guys were good!

"And... I've also heard that the Hokage wasn't actually the main force in suppressing the Uchiha clan."

"Really? Besides the Hokage, who else in Konoha dares to shit on the Uchiha?"

Yes!

Uchiha Hiroichi and his companion were also somewhat puzzled. Besides the Hokage, who else in Konoha could shit on our heads... ugh, no one in Konoha could shit on the heads of the Uchiha!

"I heard that Lord Danzo personally handled the main operation against the Uchiha!"

Oh~ ×4

Nodding up and down, "In the river, this is too much!" ×4

"Shimura Fumikaze, I'll f*** you!" ×2

Driven mad in every sense of the word, Uchiha Hiroichi and Uchiha Chihaya immediately seized the two men and took them back to the police headquarters.

As the stronghold of the Uchiha clan, the fact that the prisoner confessed at the security headquarters is essentially equivalent to the entire Uchiha clan knowing about it.

Soon, the news swept through the entire Uchiha clan territory like a whirlwind.

then……

"Chieftain, are the rumors circulating in the village true? Is it true that we were able to maintain our peaceful lives by using the Sharingan of a deceased clansman?"

"Chieftain, I refuse to accept this! Why do we still face the village with such disdain after all the sacrifices we've made?"

"Chieftain, lead us on one more charge, Chieftain!"

At noon, a large group of people gathered at the entrance of the residence of Uchiha clan chief Uchiha Homura without having eaten, clamoring to ask the clan chief for an explanation.

Among them were young children who had just begun ninja training, young people who had just awakened their Sharingan and experienced its power, and elderly people who had come from the Warring States period, had truly witnessed Madara Uchiha's earth-shattering power, and were still immersed in the past glory of the Uchiha clan.

They couldn't understand why, upon waking up, their clan had become outcasts in Konoha.

Although they knew they were unpopular in the village, they didn't care. They had the strength and innate bloodline limit, so in the eyes of this proud Uchiha group, the gossip of others was nothing more than the wails of the weak.

But things are different now. In the current situation, the two extremes have reversed, and the Uchiha clan has become a precious species that needs to be pitied by others.

How can they possibly accept this?

In their extreme rage, many clansmen even activated their Sharingan, their crimson eyes glaring at the clan leader's residence, awaiting his response.

"Flame, what are your plans to do about this?"

Inside the clan leader's residence, several clan elders, who had already received the news, sat upright before Uchiha Homura, awaiting the clan leader's response.

"Don't forget, the village still hasn't given us an explanation for Jing's death!"

"Why is it that, as fellow second-generation disciples, Hiruzen Sarutobi became Hokage, Danzo Shimura became Hokage's assistant, and even Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado became advisors, while our clan's genius died so quietly?"

"Why is there such a vast difference between us, even though we are both disciples? Why hasn't the village given Jing a respectable posthumous title?"

"The lives of the Uchiha are lives too!"

The current clan leader, Uchiha Homura, silently stared at the intelligence reports laid out on his desk, as well as a secret letter from an anonymous foreign affairs officer from the distant Land of Water, his mind racing with a multitude of thoughts.

Is it the same as always, swallowing one's anger?

Or perhaps we should seize this opportunity to fight back with all our might?

"Chief, the secret service has arrived."

At this crucial moment, the arrival of the Anbu members was undoubtedly to convey the Hokage's message.

Therefore, Homura Uchiha held back for the time being, wanting to see what the village's opinion was on the matter.

"The Hokage has ordered the Uchiha clan to immediately dispatch personnel to clarify the rumors in the village. The Hokage does not want similar rumors to resurface in the village within three days."

The newcomer was dressed in typical Anbu attire, but he exuded a cold aura, like an emotionless puppet, mechanically conveying the Hokage's orders.

"...That's it? No further instructions?"

Uchiha Homura and the other clan elders listened to this. They had thought that even if the village was in dire straits, they would at least be comforted. However, the command from the "Hokage" was so short and clear, a cold and impersonal task, leaving no room for speculation.

The ANBU ninja seemed to sense something was wrong, but for some reason, instead of softening his tone, he stepped forward to press the issue further.

"Hmm? The Uchiha clan intends to disobey orders? Are they taking advantage of the village's inadequate sword?"

Homura Uchiha, who had initially intended to let the matter rest, saw this scene. Combining it with the words of the clan elders and recalling the various injustices the Uchiha clan, as the founding clan of Konoha, had suffered in the village over the years, the string of reason in her mind snapped instantly.

A flash of crimson crossed his eyes, and in a fit of rage, he kicked over the table and roared:

"Our precious swords have never been ineffective!"

"To hell with trying to smooth things over, it's time to settle everything!"

"The Senju are dead, the Uchiha shall rise!"
