Konoha: This Uchiha is not right

Orochimaru smiled, then he spoke casually.

“He told me that the Uchiha clan’s affairs had nothing to do with me, and it seemed that he wanted to drive me away from the beginning.

Uchiha Kenji is quite rational, he told me a lot of things, and what I said before was also told to me by him. "

Orochimaru's explanation seemed to make Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen think deeply. After all, Uchiha Kenji was really capable of doing such a thing.

But why did these two people join together to overthrow Uchiha Fugaku?

The whole thing seemed shrouded in mystery, and even these two old foxes seemed very confused at this moment.

Because of Orochimaru's deliberate concealment, the information they could obtain was very little, and they had no idea what had happened.

After a long while, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally shook his head and said, "I understand. Thank you for your hard work, Orochimaru."

"Then it's alright, I'll leave first." Orochimaru couldn't help but smile and stood up after hearing what the Third Hokage said: "After all, I also have to prepare for what's next."

After saying this, Orochimaru turned around and left, leaving only Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen still sitting in the office.

After a long while, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally spoke quietly, "What do you think about this matter?"

"The Uchiha people definitely don't have good intentions." Danzo said directly: "As for Orochimaru, maybe he really didn't get any information, or maybe he concealed something."

At this point, Danzo paused for a moment, and then said meaningfully: "After all, Uchiha Mune was once his subordinate, and Uchiha Mune helped him end the Whirlpool Country War ahead of time."

Sarutobi Hiruzen understood what Danzo meant as soon as he heard this.

But he didn't say much on the matter, just glanced at Danzo and then looked away.

He was still willing to trust Orochimaru, even though he had already wavered in his idea of ​​letting Orochimaru become Hokage so early.

But this did remind him that the relationship between Orochimaru and Uchiha Zong seemed a little complicated.

But he soon shook his head. There was no point in considering this matter. After all, the Uchiha group might not welcome Orochimaru.

Besides, Orochimaru is so proud, how could he possibly argue with a bunch of old guys?

"Don't say these things carelessly. As for Uchiha..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought for a moment, then slowly spoke.

“Spread it out and say that they impeached their own clan leader.

Also, find an opportunity to secretly contact Uchiha Fugaku's son."

"No problem, that guy is a pretty good 'Avenger', and this matter should really make the others a little nervous."

Danzo nodded silently, but he also seemed to be thinking about something.

Since the clan leader can be impeached, it would be best if I could cultivate some people who are loyal to me, and then let them impeach the current clan leader, and finally turn around and support me.

Then the position of Hokage...

"Danzo, we can't interfere in the affairs of the ninja family." Suddenly, just as Danzo was thinking, Sarutobi Hiruzen's faint voice sounded in his ears.

At this moment, Danzo woke up in shock, and then he saw Sarutobi Hiruzen's intriguing eyes, which made his hair stand on end.

But he was an old fox after all, and he was able to control his emotions very well, so he nodded indifferently.

"I won't mess around with this kind of thing." Danzo nodded indifferently, then he stood up and said, "Then I'll leave first. I also need to prepare to meet Orochimaru."

As soon as he finished speaking, Danzo turned around and left, while Sarutobi Hiruzen sat there and watched him leave the office.

After a long time, Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head quietly.

He actually had something else he hadn't said to Danzo, but there was no need to tell Danzo this.

There is nothing wrong with the fact that Aburame Ryoma joined the Root voluntarily, but Danzo had long harbored the idea of ​​taking action against the family's geniuses and forcibly sucking them into the Root.

This practice is tantamount to self-destruction!

It’s just because of the war, and the Root is now quite powerful, so he hasn’t done it yet.

But now that the war is over, it's hard to say, but Sarutobi Hiruzen had no intention of stopping him.

"Danzo, if you really do this, how can others still support your dream of becoming Hokage?"

……

"He told you that?"

That night, in a small hut of the Uchiha clan filled with guards, Uchiha Fugaku sat cross-legged, and Uchiha Mikoto was beside him.

At this moment, Uchiha Fugaku seemed to be in a bad condition. His eyes were sunken and hollow, and the Uchiha Sect had not given him any fillers for his eyes.

Moreover, there were obvious sealing techniques on his body, which were obviously the work of the sealing chakra left by Orochimaru.

Losing both eyes and chakra was an unspeakable humiliation for an Uchiha ninja who originally possessed the Mangekyō Sharingan.

As a once ambitious clan leader, Uchiha Fugaku naturally could not tolerate all this.

What was even more unbearable for him was that he might not even be able to commit suicide!

But he didn't think about committing suicide because he didn't know what would become of his family.

He may not be responsible for the Uchiha clan, but he is absolutely responsible for his family!

After his eyes were taken away and his chakra was sealed, what he was most worried about was the situation of his family. He had to know this information!

And now, Uchiha Fugaku felt much calmer because his wife came.

Although the reason why she came made him feel somewhat disappointed, because his wife came to persuade him to plead guilty.

He naturally knew what would happen if he pleaded guilty.

But he had to admit one thing, that was the conditions proposed by Uchiha Zong made him tempted.

"Use my own life in exchange for Mikoto and Itachi's future life?"

Uchiha Fugaku sat there thinking silently in his heart. After experiencing such a tragic defeat and betrayal, his mentality had undergone a certain change.

And after some serious thought, he has made a decision in his heart.

If Uchiha Zong was here at this moment, he would definitely be able to guess that this guy's mentality was probably almost the same as it was eight or nine years later.

"Yes, that's what he said." Uchiha Mikoto didn't dare to look at Uchiha Fugaku, and even these words were difficult for her to say.

But for the sake of her family, she really had to make such a decision.

"Are you blaming yourself?" Uchiha Fugaku suddenly asked.

Although he lost his eyes and his chakra was sealed, as a once powerful ninja, he still has good perception.

"I... I'm sorry..." Uchiha Mikoto opened her mouth, but in the end, only these words came out.

"Don't blame yourself, your choice was not wrong."

However, what Uchiha Mikoto did not expect was that Uchiha Fugaku suddenly smiled.

“If I were you, I would make a similar choice for my family.

But this time, it is you who is forced to make a choice, and I am really sorry for making you suffer such distress.

It was me who failed to withstand the storm this time, and it was also me who put you in such a situation.

But I won’t do that again, I swear!”

"Fugaku..." Uchiha Mikoto's tears were already falling. She knew what choice her husband had made.

"Don't cry. The winners are the kings and the losers are the bandits. Although Uchiha Zongben has evil intentions, he at least has some bottom line."

Uchiha Fugaku's smile became even brighter. He raised his hand and stretched it towards Mikoto, and Mikoto leaned into his arms.

He gently wiped away the tears from his wife's face before continuing.

"Tell Uchiha Zong that I promised him, but his leverage is not enough. I want to meet with him and have a good talk."

Having said that, Uchiha Fugaku paused slightly, and then he spoke seriously.

“If he doesn’t agree, then you tell him I will do everything I can to commit suicide.

Doesn't he want me to confess? Doesn't he want to avoid being labeled as a 'usurper'? If I die at this moment, he will be the only one who will be embarrassed!"

"I see. I'll tell him."

Uchiha Mikoto nodded, and then a look of determination appeared on her face.

"If he refuses, I will go down to accompany you after you leave. I think he will not be able to bear such pressure by then.

Besides, at that time, I don’t think he would have dared to attack Itachi.

At least, Itachi can grow up and survive..."

……

"I heard that you threatened to die in order to see me, and now I am here."

In the room where Uchiha Fugaku was under house arrest, Uchiha Mune spoke expressionlessly.

Uchiha Mikoto informed him and also told him Uchiha Fugaku's plan, which made him laugh a little.

Does this guy really think that he can commit suicide in his current state?

To put it bluntly, he couldn't even starve himself to death, let alone use other methods.

However, after some thought, Uchiha Zong finally agreed to meet with this guy, because he also wanted to see what this guy wanted to say.

"However, I advise you not to have any illusions. Although your death would be very troublesome for me, you should also consider whether you can die."

Uchiha Zong sat down and spoke calmly.

"Even your family members are the same, and you have to think carefully about whether this will completely annoy me."

"Of course I know all this, but I guess you don't want me to die yet, right?"

When Uchiha Fugaku faced this enemy, although the anger in his heart burned again, he still forced himself to remain calm.

"After all, you have already set a very bad precedent. If this matter is not handled properly, it will only make the family worse.

So you won’t let me die now, even after I confess my guilt, but you will wait for a better time to make a decision.”

Uchiha Mune looked at Uchiha Fugaku in a daze. When did this guy become so smart?

Could it be that it was because he encountered such great suffering and turning points that his brain started to work?

But no matter what the reason was, Uchiha Zong had to admit that this guy really understood some of his thoughts.

"So, what do you want to do?" Uchiha Zong smiled, and then he asked curiously: "I'm curious why you think you are qualified to continue talking to me."

"Because I can cooperate with you and make everything go more smoothly for you."

To Uchiha Mune's surprise, Uchiha Fugaku calmly gave such an answer.

"You can send someone to follow me and our whole family, and I will cooperate with you as much as possible.

I will publicly declare that all of this is my fault, and I will no longer serve as the head of the Uchiha clan.

I will persuade those who follow me not to resist stubbornly.

Furthermore, I will end my life in a proper manner so that you do not need to bear any risk of being a 'usurper'.

What do you think of this proposal? Am I qualified to talk to you about this?"

After hearing these words, Uchiha Zong couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, because he found that he seemed to be a little moved?

Although Uchiha Mune's plan was similar to what Uchiha Fugaku said, the problem was that one was active cooperation and the other was passive coercion.

It is obvious which of these two is more effective.

It is not surprising that Uchiha Fugaku could make such a choice.

He has already failed, and his fate is already determined, so the only thing he can do now is probably one thing, and that is for his family!

Moreover, Uchiha Fugaku is a typical "family hero". In the original novel, he is a lunatic who dares to drag his entire clan into trouble for the sake of his two cubs.

Now he doesn't need to drag the whole clan down, he just needs to offer himself, and then he will definitely not hesitate.

However, there are quite a lot of people alive this time, and he is so cooperative, so I'm afraid we have to negotiate terms.

"Tell me your conditions."

Uchiha Zong placed his right hand on the table, and then tapped the table lightly with one finger.

"Although your suggestion is good, there is no free lunch in the world, but I advise you not to go too far."

"I heard your conditions from Mikoto, but I don't want this to be the case."

Uchiha Fugaku spoke calmly, and at this moment he seemed to have regained some of his former spirit.
