Killing his way through the ninja world, starting from being adopted by the second generation!

"Why haven't I seen Hiruzen and the others these past few days?" Renye suddenly asked.

It's normal that Hiruzen Sarutobi is nowhere to be found, they're a newlywed couple, but it's problematic that Kagami Uchiha and Homura Mitokado are also nowhere to be found.

"Hiruzen and the others have gone on a mission."

"I do not know how?"

While grilling meat, Danzo said, "You spend all your time at home except when you're on missions, so of course you don't know where they are."

Lian Ye's lips twitched; it seemed that was indeed the case...

Aside from preparing three meals a day for Tobirama Senju, he spends the rest of his time lying in the yard sunbathing.

It seems he needs to go out more often.

Perhaps, it could be like what happened with Uncle Hashirama back then—

Go on a trip.

……

……

P.S.: Hehehe, something unexpected happened today, sob sob...

Chapter 267 Uchiha Hawks

"Jing, what brings you here?"

At Tobirama Senju's residence, Renya looked at Uchiha Kagami, who had suddenly appeared in the courtyard, and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

—As the saying goes, one doesn't visit a temple without a reason.

Jing came to find me in a hurry, probably because something important had happened.

"Lotus Night Lord, a Jonin in the clan is attempting to incite the clan members to launch a coup," Uchiha Kagami said with a serious expression.

When he attended the clan meeting, several clan members raised the idea of ​​a coup, and some of the clan members present were clearly persuaded.

Although his suggestion was rejected by the clan leader Uchiha Tanaka and several elders, he knew in his heart that the clan members who were plotting a coup would not give up easily!

As soon as the meeting ended, he rushed over to Lianye to discuss countermeasures.

Uchiha Kagami dared not tell Tobirama-sensei about this, fearing that it would further lower his opinion of the Uchiha clan.

Tobirama was already wary of the Uchiha clan, and if he finds out about this, things will only get worse.

Uchiha Kagami wanted Renya to help him devise a perfect solution to prevent the situation from escalating further.

Lian Ye was taken aback upon hearing this.

Unexpectedly, the Uchiha clan began to have ideas about a coup during this period.

But thinking about it, it's understandable. The Uchiha clan members are a bunch of arrogant egomen, so it's inevitable that some of them would be dissatisfied with the Hokage's attitude towards the Uchiha.

They might wonder why the Senju clan, who founded Konoha, could become Hokage while the Uchiha clan could only serve as members of the security forces.

In Tobirama Senju's view, the Uchiha clan was an unstable element and needed to be monitored to prevent them from causing irreparable damage to the village.

For the Uchiha clan, Tobirama Senju's actions were deliberately targeting them, leading to an escalation of the conflict between the clan and the village.

Naturally, some members of the Uchiha clan might have considered launching a coup to seize power, attempting to change their clan's status in the village.

—This is the hawkish faction of the Uchiha clan.

As time goes on, the Uchiha clan members will become increasingly dissatisfied with the village's attitude, and more and more clan members will join the hawks, eventually forcing the conservative clan leader to choose a coup under pressure from the clan members.

In the original work, Fugaku Uchiha was like that. Unfortunately, before the coup even began, he willingly allowed himself to be killed by his filial son, leading to the Uchiha clan being wiped out by their own people overnight.

Now that the hawks have just emerged, the Uchiha clan is unlikely to launch a coup in the short term. Unless the clan head, Uchiha Tanaka, is also a hawk, a coup d'état is unlikely to occur sooner than planned.

But Renya felt that Tanaka Uchiha, that idiot, didn't have the guts; otherwise, he would have sent someone to assassinate her long ago.

As a result, over the years, the Uchiha clan not only did not send anyone to assassinate him, but the clan members would also avoid him whenever they saw him, and no one dared to provoke this Uchiha outsider.

Lianye didn't think Uchiha Tanaka would dare to stage a coup, and besides, the current Hokage was Senju Tobirama.

The old man will know immediately if there's any movement from the Uchiha clan.

"Lotus Night-kun?" Uchiha Kagami couldn't help but ask when Lotus Night remained silent.

He came here to discuss countermeasures with Lian Ye, but Lian Ye remained silent, which made him very anxious.

He had to resolve this matter perfectly before Tobirama-sensei found out.

Uchiha Kagami is a rational Uchiha clan member. He will not blindly follow the clan at the expense of the village's interests, but that does not mean he can stand by and watch the clan head towards the abyss.

If possible, he wants his family and the village to live in peace.

Uchiha Kagami's words pulled Renya back to reality. He looked up at Kagami, who had a worried expression, and asked, "So, what do you want to do?"

He was curious whether Jing would choose to side with the family or the village.

“I want the clan and the village to coexist peacefully,” Uchiha Kagami answered without hesitation, his expression very serious.

"Lotus Night Lord, can you help me think of a way?"

Upon hearing this, Lianye understood. It seemed that Jing, like Shisui, wanted both his family and the village!

However, such behavior easily leads to pleasing neither side, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a double agent.

Uchiha Shisui provided the Hokage with information about the impending coup by the Uchiha clan, but ultimately met a tragic end by jumping off a cliff to commit suicide.

Not only did he fail to save his family, but he was also ambushed by Danzo.

The best course of action would be to choose a faction and align yourself with it, just like Itachi Uchiha did.

Of course, Lianye didn't want Uchiha Kagami to follow Uchiha Itachi's example and exterminate the clan; rather, she wanted him to firmly choose a faction—

You must either support your family or your village; you can't be indecisive.

“If you kill all the hawks, then no one will incite rebellion, right?” Lian Ye offered her opinion.

All the hawks were killed, leaving only the conservatives.

Just like Madara Uchiha's "Eye of the Moon Plan," by hanging everyone in the ninja world on the Divine Tree, the ninja world would achieve complete peace.

It's a bit extreme, but it's very effective, isn't it?

Uchiha Kagami: "???"

Unexpectedly, Lian Ye's suggestion was to have himself slaughter the hawks in his family. It's astonishing that he could come up with such an outrageous suggestion.

“No way!” Uchiha Kagami quickly shook his head and refused. He could never bring himself to kill his clansmen.

Lianye knew that Jing wouldn't agree to the suggestion; he was just saying it casually.

"You can become the head of the Uchiha clan and use your strength to make the hawks abandon their coup attempt. In short, you can subdue them all."

"This is somewhat difficult," Uchiha Kagami said, looking troubled.

Many of the hawks in the Uchiha clan are veteran elite Jonin, and I alone could not possibly defeat them.

Besides, becoming a clan leader is a very difficult thing; with his strength and experience, it's impossible for him to become a clan leader.

Lian Ye rolled her eyes at him, annoyed. "If this won't work, and that won't work, then you might as well just leave this matter alone."

Anyway, the Uchiha clan's complete coup plan is decades away, so ignoring it now won't cause too much of a problem.

“No, I can’t watch my clan turn against the village.” Uchiha Kagami said seriously.

Lian Ye: "..."

This guy is really stubborn.

Forget it, I’m tired, never mind.

He lay back down on the deck chair to sunbathe, since the whole thing had nothing to do with him anyway.

He now bears the surname Senju and is no longer Uchiha, so even if the Uchiha were to stage a coup, it wouldn't affect him in the slightest.

"Lianye-kun, wake up! Quickly, think of a solution with me!" Uchiha Kagami looked anxious, fearing that his clan might suddenly launch a coup.

Lian Ye sighed helplessly, "I've done my best."

The two suggestions he just made were the most perfect solutions he could think of.

Uchiha Kagami wouldn't listen, and there was nothing he could do.

"If all else fails, go to the Hokage's office and talk to the old man. I believe he can resolve this matter."

Lianye could only shift the blame to Tobirama Senju, since that old guy was the Hokage.

Uchiha Kagami nodded helplessly; at this point, this was the only option.

Chapter 268 Peaceful Coexistence of Family and Village

"Why are you here?"

In the Hokage's office, Tobirama Senju saw the two enter and immediately put down the documents in his hand to ask a question.

"Should you speak or should I?" Lianye asked, looking at Uchiha Kagami.

“…You speak for me.” Uchiha Kagami said after a moment’s hesitation.

He didn't want the teacher to know about this, but he had no choice but to come and tell the teacher.

Hopefully, Tobirama-sensei won't target the clan because of his hawkish stance.

"What exactly is going on?" Tobirama Senju couldn't help but ask.

Judging from Uchiha Kagami's appearance, could it be that he has made a mistake?

This shouldn't happen in theory—

Jing is an upright person. Even if Lianye makes a mistake, Jing will not make a mistake.

Renya was completely unaware that Tobirama Senju was plotting against her in his mind.

Under the tense gaze of Uchiha Kagami, Renya explained the situation: "Uncle, someone in the Uchiha clan is inciting a rebellion."

Upon hearing this, Tobirama Senju instinctively glanced at Kagami Uchiha, who looked tense.

He finally understood why Jing was so afraid; it turned out it was because of this matter.

He knew from the beginning that the Uchiha clan was dissatisfied with the Hokage, but he simply didn't care about it.

It's really not a big deal at all...

As long as the Uchiha clan doesn't cross the village's bottom line, he'll turn a blind eye.

In Tobirama Senju's view, the Uchiha clan was prone to producing extremists. Since he became Hokage, he had strengthened the surveillance of the Uchiha clan, fearing that another person like Madara Uchiha might emerge from among them.

This would only cause irreparable harm to the village, which is something he does not want to see.

"Teacher, I'm sorry." Uchiha Kagami noticed the gaze his teacher was giving him and lowered his head in remorse.

He was powerless to stop the hawks within his family and needed his teacher to handle the matter.

"It's not your fault," Tobirama Senju said softly, "I understand. Leave the rest to me."

He didn't want his disciples to feel guilty because of the family's affairs...

"Uncle, you'd better handle this carefully. Don't let the Uchiha kick you off the stage, or you'll really lose face." Lian Ye's voice drifted over.

Uchiha Kagami: "???"

He looked at Lian Ye in disbelief, his expression seeming to say—

Can you say such things casually?

Only Renya could say such things. If it were anyone else, they would have been subdued by the Anbu by now.

Tobirama Senju's face darkened, and he glared at him fiercely. "If you have nothing else to do, aren't you going back to prepare lunch for me?"

This kid seems to really hope the Uchiha coup succeeds.

"Understood, Uncle." Lian Ye nodded helplessly, sighing inwardly.

Why does that old bastard Tobirama Senju always seem to be thinking about food?

They were discussing the Uchiha hawks when this old guy told them to go back and cook...

"Alright, you two can go back now." Tobirama Senju waved his hand, signaling the two to leave.
