Chapter 56 There is Still a Way
Uchiha启 left Uchiha Fugaku's house and went straight back to his own home.
Uchiha Fugaku's probing was too childish in Uchiha启's eyes. Not to mention Uchiha启's education in his previous life allowed him to see many rights and wrongs clearly, just understanding the plot, Uchiha启 knew the Clan Head's thoughts.
On one hand, he was indeed fed up with Konoha's actions. The Uchiha Clan, as a Clan that founded Konoha, was now subjected to extreme suppression. Anyone would find that unbearable.
But on the other hand, Uchiha Fugaku was truly worthy of being Uchiha Itachi's father. In his mind, he also genuinely hoped for the Village's peace. In this regard, he and Uchiha Itachi were very similar.
However, the difference was that as the Clan Head of the Uchiha Clan, he also had to bear some responsibilities. In such conflicting emotions and with Konoha's long-standing distrust and suspicion finally turning into reality due to the Nine-Tailed Fox Incident, he decided to embark on the path of a coup.
"It's a pity that this person has strength and ambition, but he is not a true overlord," Uchiha启 thought silently as he lay on his bed.
His own son becoming the final straw that broke him, Uchiha启 could understand him but also couldn't understand him.
He understood because of the essence of family affection involved. If it were Uchiha启, he might also lean more towards family affection than anything else.
But he couldn't understand him because he made what Uchiha启 considered the most ridiculous decision!
He actually used his own life, including the lives of the entire Clan, to force Uchiha Itachi to make a decision. Uchiha启 would never agree with such a thing.
But fortunately, everything was still early. Uchiha Itachi was still a child, and Uchiha Shisui hadn't fully grown up yet.
Although Uchiha启's strength was still insufficient, with the Mangekyo as his foundation, he still had enough room to grow, and now Uchiha启 also had more options.
Uchiha启 still had three choices, but while three choices seemed many, none of them were good choices.
The first choice was the simplest and most convenient—to side with Konoha. Uchiha启 had seen this in many novels, but Uchiha启 didn't want to and wasn't willing to do it.
Uchiha启 knew what Konoha's higher-ups were like, and perhaps not just him, but even Uchiha Fugaku knew very well that Konoha's four major figures were all trained by the Second Hokage, and everyone was well aware of their attitude towards the Uchiha Clan.
Uchiha启 would not trust them. If possible, Uchiha启 would even prefer to eliminate them directly!
The second choice was to help the Uchiha Clan complete the coup and let the Uchiha Clan sit in the position they longed for, but Uchiha启 thought this plan was even more ridiculous than siding with Konoha.
Except for himself, perhaps everyone else in the Uchiha Clan was insane!
Those who awakened the Sharingan were insane, and those who hadn't awakened the Sharingan didn't have enough strength. How could such people become Hokage?
Did Uchiha启 have to personally step in?
He didn't have the status or the qualifications!
As for the last option, it was to accumulate strength and then defect from the Village before the Uchiha Clan was annihilated!
But Uchiha启 rejected this decision from the bottom of his heart. Just thinking about future trends, he knew that following Uchiha Madara was definitely a dead end!
Even if Uchiha启 eliminated Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke before they grew up, and then found a way to tell Uchiha Madara that it was all a scam when he was resurrected.
But Uchiha启 also felt that the success rate of such a thing was no easier than helping the Uchiha Clan seize power.
Uchiha Madara, a guy so confident he was arrogant, wouldn't believe Uchiha启, and there was also Obito, who Uchiha启 wasn't so easy to deal with.
Moreover, don't forget that the Six Paths Sage, that old guy, was still around. He had been observing this world in the form of Chakra. Who knew if Uchiha启 would encounter huge trouble when he eliminated Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke?
As for becoming a Voldemort, Uchiha启 was unwilling in his heart, and who knew if Akatsuki and Konoha would come looking for him then?
Would those bounty hunters think about eliminating him for money every day?
All in all, the path of a rogue Ninja without an organization's protection was truly difficult!
"Alas, it seems like every path is a dead end," Uchiha启 rubbed his brow. He felt that he was truly having difficulty choosing.
This matter was truly fraught with difficulties for Uchiha启, but he knew he had to make a decision later.
If Konoha's ruler could be someone who treated the Uchiha well...
Suddenly, Uchiha启 paused. He seemed to have some ideas. Although his thoughts and plans faced many obstacles, if they succeeded, everything would be different!
It's just that there were also some difficult areas that Uchiha启 needed to overcome, such as how to gain Uchiha Fugaku's trust and, at the same time, gain higher and more power within the Uchiha Clan!
"Fortunately, I know Uchiha Fugaku's psychological changes and his true thoughts from the original work," Uchiha启's mouth suddenly showed a smile: "It only needs an 'anchor point,' a small 'anchor point' can solve these problems. As for what happens next..."
As for what happens next, that was not for Uchiha启 to think about. Perhaps what Uchiha启 thought and tried this time would become his fourth choice.
But everything was still too early. Uchiha启 could only take it slow and deal with all of this gradually, not to mention his current strength was not enough.
He needed to improve his strength well so that he could better and more powerfully unleash the Mangekyo's power. In this world, having no strength was equivalent to seeking death.
"As for who is the fish in the pond and who is the one sitting by the pond watching the fish show themselves, that's really hard to say."
Uchiha Fugaku was still quite reliable. The next day, at dawn, several Ninja from the Uchiha Clan arrived at Uchiha启's doorstep. They were responsible for taking Uchiha启 to the library.
The Uchiha Clan had naturally accumulated a lot of data and documents over the years, including various Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and even some seniors' cultivation insights. These things were all very important, so entering the library required certain qualifications.
Obviously, in the Uchiha Clan, this qualification was the Sharingan, but that was not enough.
Because these materials were extremely important, to read them, one also had to obtain the approval of the Clan Head or an elder.
Uchiha启 now had the Sharingan, and it was a Three-Tomoe. He already had the initial qualifications, and he also had Uchiha Fugaku's approval, so naturally, he could enter.
The sudden appearance of these Ninja surprised both Uchiha Keisuke and Uchiha Ryoko, but after they learned the purpose of these Ninja, they were also immensely proud.
After all, those who could enter the library were truly not ordinary people, and now their child had done it!
Although this child seemed to not fully acknowledge them.
