Chapter 81 I'm going to kill you! (New book, please collect and recommend~)
Originally, Uchiha启 was still wondering where to find a pair of powerful brothers who were also at odds with him.
As luck would have it, Uchiha Yu, this fellow, suddenly appeared before Uchiha启, which surprised and delighted Uchiha启.
When it came to being at odds with him, Uchiha Yu could definitely be said to be one of the Clan Ninja who disliked him the most.
The one who disliked him the most might be Uchiha Hiroki, whom he had severely threatened, but in Uchiha启's eyes, that guy probably didn't even count as a person.
Even if he indeed held the title of Jonin, he had never even been to a battlefield. How could Uchiha启 possibly look up to him?
"Although I also survived by being cautious, at least I went!"
Besides looking down on that guy, there was another point: he didn't seem to have any brothers.
Even if Uchiha启 took action against him, it would be useless, so Uchiha启 couldn't be bothered to waste time and energy on such a person.
As for Uchiha Yu, this guy was enough to give Uchiha启 some ideas.
He and Uchiha启 were very much at odds. The last time Uchiha启 contradicted Uchiha Yu's elder brother, Uchiha Shu, Uchiha Yu almost wanted to attack Uchiha启.
Although he was ultimately stopped by Uchiha Shu, Uchiha启 remembered this incident. Strictly speaking, he and this pair of brothers were truly at odds.
The most crucial point was that this pair of brothers were also members of the Hardliners, and a very important force at that.
In Uchiha启's plan, there was no intention of letting these Hardliners off the hook.
Although the fundamental reason for the Uchiha Clan's descent into the abyss was not these so-called Hardliners, they also played a significant role in fanning the flames.
The 'Dove Faction's' idea was not wrong; what was wrong was that they underestimated the Third Hokage's methods, thereby cultivating two traitors.
But the Hardliners' minds seemed to be problematic, thinking of solving problems with force.
If they were powerful enough, it would be fine, but there is a saying: their ambition and their strength do not match.
Therefore, compared to those so-called 'Dove Faction,' Uchiha启, for the sake of his plan, must first deal with all these damned 'Hardliners' and absolutely not leave any future troubles.
As for those 'Dove Faction,' Uchiha启 also didn't plan to let them off, but even if he were to settle with them, it would have to wait until his plan was almost complete.
Uchiha启 never considered himself a benevolent person. He would naturally find a way to deal with all these annoying fellows who needed to be dealt with!
But before that, he needed to gain enough influence, and if the plan went smoothly, if it didn't go smoothly, Uchiha启 wouldn't need to take action.
"An unexpected gain."
Uchiha启 looked at Uchiha Yu with cold eyes. Since he had made a decision, he naturally had to plan it carefully, after all, Uchiha启 didn't want to leave any evidence.
Uchiha启, whose mind was constantly preoccupied with these jumbled thoughts, naturally had no interest in the Clan meeting. In fact, Uchiha启 was too lazy to even listen to what they were saying.
It was just two groups of people arguing there, with their representatives bickering, red-faced and unyielding. However, no matter how much they argued, the final decision still rested with Uchiha Fugaku.
Uchiha启 simply drifted through the entire Clan meeting, but his distracted demeanor still attracted the attention of many.
There was no helping it; Uchiha启, this youngster, now had a great reputation. As more and more Ninja returned to the Village, his fame spread wider and wider, even earning him the title of 'Sharingan Hero.'
Secondly, Uchiha启's reputation within the Clan was also considerable. After directly confronting Uchiha Shu, he gained Uchiha Fugaku's support, and was later even invited by Uchiha Fugaku to his residence for tea.
Many people knew about this matter. Although the Uchiha Compound was large, many things couldn't be kept secret, let alone Uchiha Fugaku had no intention of hiding it.
Therefore, in their eyes, this kid also held a somewhat crucial position, and their Clan Head favoring him, to some extent, was also sending certain signals.
But unfortunately, this kid was unusually quiet today, which was beyond their expectations. Even Uchiha Yu was wondering what was going on.
He had no idea that Uchiha启 was completely preoccupied with how to eliminate him!
After the Clan meeting ended, Uchiha启 left the small room immediately. After thinking for the duration of the Clan meeting, Uchiha启 basically knew what he needed to do.
Next, he would slowly gather intelligence on this guy through various means, and then, if he handled it properly, he could make this guy disappear from Konoha without anyone knowing.
"Qi-kun." Just as Uchiha启 was walking away, Uchiha Shu suddenly called out from behind him, "I'm very sorry about my brother's earlier behavior; he was rude."
"No need to be so hypocritical. Wasn't he delivering a message on your behalf?" Uchiha启 turned his head to look, then suddenly showed a smile, "That's very interesting. I'll remember what he said."
"Qi-kun, is there some misunderstanding here?" Uchiha Shu was stunned for a moment. He, of course, knew what he had said, but Uchiha启's attitude was beyond his expectation. "We sincerely want to invite you to join us. Although your views and opinions diverge somewhat from ours, I believe we can definitely reach a consensus."
In Uchiha Shu's opinion, Uchiha启's silence at the Clan meeting might have been him contemplating some things, some rather useful things.
But now, Uchiha启's attitude greatly exceeded his expectations. Could this kid really intend to resist them to the very end?
Uchiha Shu frowned. This could hardly be considered good news. He had always believed that a youngster like Uchiha启 would not lack intelligence, especially since his performance on the battlefield had already proven himself.
But now, it seemed this kid was still quite foolish.
Although his younger brother's personality was somewhat extreme, if Uchiha启 couldn't even handle this bit of provocation and wouldn't make a basic choice for his pathetic dignity...
Then there was really no need to win over such a person. Resisting for one's dignity was the correct choice, but making a choice without clearly seeing the path—that wasn't self-respect and intelligence, but utter stupidity!
"It seems, Qi-kun still needs to consider it." Without waiting for Uchiha启 to reply, Uchiha Shu immediately made a conclusion, "Of course, Qi-kun's choice is not wrong either. Many choices indeed require more thought, because many choices, once made, leave no room for retreat."
"Thank you for your advice. The Clan Head also told me that." Uchiha启 shook his head, "I know what choice I need to make, so I don't need you to teach me."
Indeed, he didn't, because
I'm going to kill you!
