The Uchiha Clan's Sun

"We demand an explanation from the Third Hokage and the others!"

Immediately, someone from the Uchiha clan spoke up indignantly, loudly echoing Uchiha Setsuna's words.

"Foolish!" Uchiha Ya roared in anger at their lack of resolve, "The village isn't as weak as you think!"

"Although the village made concessions this time, the presence of secret agents guarding our territory shows that the village is prepared for mutual destruction!"

"If you push your luck any further, the village will absolutely not compromise!"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Setsuna also showed anger and said excitedly, "Second Elder, do you want to hear what you're saying?!"

"This whole thing has been the village's fault from beginning to end. Is it wrong for us to just want an explanation?"

"Those old guys, Hiruzen Sarutobi, just arrogantly said they wouldn't hit you this time, and you expect us to remember their kindness?"

"If the village is prepared to perish together, does the Uchiha clan not have the resolve to die with them?"

"Then what else do you want?" Uchiha Ya glared and gritted his teeth, "Or do you really want things to get out of control?"

"It's not that I want to cause trouble, it's that I have no choice but to!" Uchiha Setsuna sneered. "Don't forget, that brat Minato Namikaze is thinking of taking back my Uchiha's power in the Konoha Police Department!"

"Minato Namikaze was Hiruzen Sarutobi's chosen successor as the Fourth Hokage! Can you guarantee that Hiruzen Sarutobi and those other old guys weren't behind his decision?!"

"Or are you going to back down again this time and hand over the power of the Konoha Police Department?"

"The Konoha Police Department is the foundation of our Uchiha clan's existence in the village. If we hand over the Konoha Police Department, is there any point in us staying in this village?"

Upon hearing this, the Uchiha members in the secret room immediately erupted in chaos.

"We can't hand it over! Absolutely not! The village already restricts us Uchiha from leaving the village to carry out missions. If we hand over the power of the Konoha Guard, what will we eat and drink?"

"I thought it was just a rumor before, but now it seems to be true!"

"The village has really gone too far this time, not giving us any way out at all. Do they really think the Uchiha clan has no temper at all?!"

"The Grand Elder is right, we have no way out this time! If they want to fight, then let them fight! At worst, we'll both perish!"

......

Seeing this scene of intense emotion, the Second Elder, Uchiha Ya, sensed something was wrong.

He had been trying to avoid bringing up the Konoha Police Department, but Uchiha Setsuna still used it as leverage.

It's important to understand that with the Uchiha clan restricted from leaving the village to carry out missions, the Konoha Police Department was practically the Uchiha clan's largest source of income.

This was also an exchange of interests between the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, and the Uchiha clan.

Destroying people's wealth is like killing their parents!

Now that the village wants to take back the power of the Konoha Guard from the Uchiha clan, it will naturally provoke a fierce reaction from the Uchiha people!

"Quiet!"

Uchiha Ya's eyes flashed, his three-tomoe Sharingan sweeping over the excited Uchiha crowd below, and a powerful aura erupted from his body.

The entire secret room fell silent instantly, and all the Uchiha looked at Uchiha Ya.

Uchiha Ya's expression was ferocious as he shouted, "Do you think I don't want to resist? But have you ever considered whether we even have the ability to resist!"

"How many ninjas does the Uchiha clan have in total? Less than a thousand!"

"How many ninjas are there in the entire Hidden Leaf Village? More than ten thousand!"

"If that's all there is to it, then so be it. At worst, we'll fight to the death!"

"But who among us can stop Minato Namikaze, the Yellow Flash? And who among us can stop Hiruzen Sarutobi, the 'Hero of the Ninja'?"

"And there are also Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade, who are known as the Legendary Sannin of Konoha!"

"And there's also the contemporary Ino-Shika-Cho trio that can rival the Hokage!"

"And there's Kushina Uzumaki, who can suppress the Nine-Tails!"

Even if we fight with all our might, how many can we possibly hold off?

"What will happen to your parents? What will happen to your wives? What will happen to your children? What will happen to your clansmen?"

"Should we all go and die with them?!"

"Can't you all calm down and think this through? If I'm going to resist, I need to have the strength to do so!"

"I didn't mean to say it so harshly, but even if we fight to the death, the fish might die, but the net might not break!"

"We simply don't have the strength to turn against the village!"

Uchiha Ya's words showed no mercy to the Uchiha, enraging many Uchiha who valued honor above all else. They clamored that they would rather die than submit, and that the Uchiha could not be humiliated!

However, many Uchiha were calmed down by Uchiha Ya's words and showed hesitation.

They were all people with loved ones to care about. They could die themselves, but what about their families?

Only Fugaku Uchiha on the high platform showed a strange expression at this moment.

As far as he knew, the Uchiha's high-end combat power was actually no less than that of the village's higher-ups!

Even among the names that Uchiha Ya recited, there were a few who were actually on their side.

If a fight really breaks out, their side seems to have a better chance of winning!

"If you can't beat them, then leave!" Uchiha Setsuna finally revealed his fangs at this moment, saying, "If they don't want me here, there are plenty of other places that will!"

"We were able to establish Konoha Village with the Senju clan back then, and we can establish a new Konoha now!"

"The war has only just ended, and Konoha absolutely cannot afford to suffer heavy losses because of us while being looked down upon by other villages!"

"Since this village doesn't welcome us, then we'll go out and build a village of our own!"

"New Konoha! New Hokage!"

"A village where we Uchiha are in charge!"

Chapter 129 If it's going to be a fight, I'll be the first to charge!

It must be said that Uchiha Setsuna's idea was very tempting, and many Uchiha showed signs of being interested.

They were already being suppressed everywhere here, and leaving was an option when they couldn't fight back!

"Bullshit!" Uchiha Ya was furious upon seeing this, glaring at Uchiha Setsuna and saying, "Leaving aside whether we can even form a new village, where else can we go now?"

"Our ancestral land is here, our homeland is here, where else can we go?"

"And do you think forming a new village is as simple as just opening your mouth!"

"Where will the money come from? Where will the land come from? Who will support us?"

"If we really leave Konoha, will Konoha just stand by and watch us establish a new Konoha?"

"Don't say that Konoha won't make a move because of the constraints from other villages. Right now, everyone in the village is making a living under Konoha's name. If we go and establish a new Konoha, we'll be taking away everyone's livelihood. At that time, not only the village leaders, but everyone in the village will fight us!"

"At all costs, they will attack us!"

"Moreover, the other villages are like wolves surrounding us, and no one can guarantee that they won't take the opportunity to jump out and bite us!"

"The example of the Uzumaki clan is still there!"

"This is no longer the Warring States period. A family without the protection of a village is just a piece of fat meat to be slaughtered!"

Uchiha Ya spoke with all his might, he really didn't want to see the Uchiha clan go to their doom!

Uchiha Setsuna, however, did not back down at all, and questioned sharply, "Fighting won't work, and leaving won't work, so what do you want? To continue being a coward in the village? To let the village leaders come and kick you and cut you every now and then?"

Uchiha Ya also argued logically, "It's not that I don't want to fight, it's just that we can't win! Right now, the main targets of the village are those old guys like Hiruzen Sarutobi, but how many days do they have left to live?"

"Let's be patient with them for now. Once they're dead, things will naturally get better for the Uchiha!"

"Heh! Foolish!" Uchiha Setsuna sneered, "Wasn't it the inherently evil white-haired Tobirama Senju who first targeted us?"

"When Tobirama Senju was in power, you all said we had to tolerate it, even when that guy kidnapped our children to do human experiments!"

"Once Tobirama Senju dies and those old guys like Hiruzen Sarutobi take over, they'll continue to target our Uchiha clan. You'll have to endure it!"

"But even after Hiruzen Sarutobi dies, there will still be Hiruzen Sarutobi the dog and Hiruzen Sarutobi the pig!"

"That blond-haired Minato Namikaze, who's about to take over, is already trying to take back the power of the Konoha Police Department from us before he's even officially in charge. Are you still going to tolerate this?"

"How long are you going to put up with this?!"

"From the day this entity was established, all those in power have been targeting us!"

"We should have followed Lord Uchiha Madara and left this evil village back then!"

Uchiha Setsuna grew angrier as he spoke, seemingly wanting to vent all the resentment that had been building up over the past decades!

Uchiha Yaya was getting a little carried away and roared, "Back then, we were indeed short-sighted and blinded by our comfortable lives, failing to see the hidden dangers that Lord Uchiha Madara saw. But what's the point of saying all this now!"

"If you have the strength of Lord Madara Uchiha, I will have no objection to whatever you want to do!"

"If it's a fight, I, Uchiha Ya, am willing to be the first to charge forward! If it's a retreat, I, Uchiha Ya, am willing to donate all my possessions!"

"But you need to face reality!"

Uchiha Setsuna retorted, "I see it all too clearly! If we continue to back down like this, the village will eventually wipe out our Uchiha strength!"

"By then, we won't have any strength left to resist!"

"So we might as well take advantage of the fact that we still have the strength to fight and go all out!"

"If we win, we'll be like dragons soaring into the sea, or birds trapped in the sky, with boundless opportunities to make our mark! If we lose, even if it means death, I will tear a piece of flesh from Konoha and use the blood of my Uchiha clan to forever nail Konoha to the pillory of shame!"

"You're insane! You're insane!" Uchiha Ya said, looking at Uchiha Setsuna's somewhat deranged expression. "You're really going crazy! Things haven't even gotten to that point yet, are you trying to kill yourself?"

......

Uchiha Setsuna and Uchiha Ya argued more and more fiercely, neither of them able to convince the other.

Actually, neither of their ideas were wrong, and they were both thinking about the Uchiha clan. However, their different personalities led them to have different ways of looking at and solving problems, which only made their arguments more and more intense!

Meanwhile, the Uchiha clan members in the secret room gradually began to personally step in and share their experiences, starting from simply listening.

Some expressed their support for Elder Uchiha Setsuna, vowing to fight to the death against the village!

Some expressed support for the Second Elder, Uchiha Ya, believing that things hadn't reached that point yet and that it was best to hold back for now and wait and see how things develop.

A small group, led by Uchiha Hachiro, remained silent and did not express any opinions.

Firstly, these people were hesitant, unsure of what to do. Secondly, they were all close associates of Fugaku Uchiha and were waiting for his opinion.

"Enough! I have nothing more to say to you!" Seeing that the conflict with Uchiha Ya was irreconcilable, Uchiha Setsuna didn't want to waste any more time and looked at Uchiha Fugaku beside him, saying, "Clan Head Fugaku, you are the head of the Uchiha clan, what do you have to say this time?"

"Should I support this old man or Uchiha Ya!"

The Uchiha members in the secret room gradually quieted down and all looked at Uchiha Fugaku.

Regardless of what Uchiha Setsuna and Uchiha Ya thought, the final decision was made by Uchiha Fugaku, the head of the Uchiha clan!

Fugaku Uchiha felt the time was right, so he stepped forward, coughed lightly, and said, "Elder, Second Elder, this time, I will not support either of you!"

Uchiha Ya breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. Although Uchiha Fugaku claimed to be neutral, in reality, as long as Uchiha Fugaku didn't help Uchiha Setsuna, he was already helping him!

"No way!" Uchiha Setsuna glared at him and said, "Fugaku, you have to make your stance clear today. You can't keep playing dumb like before!"

"You have no opinions of your own and only know how to please both sides. How can you be qualified to be the head of the Uchiha clan if you continue like this!"

Uchiha Setsuna's words were very unpleasant; he was trying to force Uchiha Fugaku to make his stance clear.

"Elder, you misunderstand me. I only said I don't support you two, not that I won't express my opinion." Fugaku Uchiha glanced at the Uchiha below, took a deep breath, and said, "However, Elder, you are right about one thing: I am indeed no longer suitable to be the head of the Uchiha clan!"

With a whoosh, the entire audience erupted in uproar!

Chapter 130 The Rise of the Uchiha!

Fugaku Uchiha's words exploded like a bomb in the secret room, leaving many Uchiha members stunned.

Only some of Fugaku's direct followers, led by Uchiha Hachiho, seemed to have anticipated this outcome.

"Fugaku, what do you mean by that?"

Uchiha Ya couldn't sit still any longer and looked at Uchiha Fugaku with a puzzled expression, asking him a question.

Fugaku Uchiha shook his head but did not speak.

"Clan Chief Fugaku's words mean exactly what they say: the Uchiha clan is about to undergo a dramatic change starting today!"

Uchiha Jin spoke, and under the questioning gazes of the other Uchiha, he stepped onto the high platform.
