"Master of the clan, we are now guards, either looking for cats or helping villagers walk their dogs every day!"
"Yes, when will the dignified Uchiha be pointed at by those civilians?"
"Now that all families and clans in the village are united, only we Uchiha are excluded!"
"And... there seems to be something wrong with the village's finances. We haven't received subsidies for a long time."
"Patriarch! If this continues, Uchiha may be completely cannibalized!"
"With Betenjin and Itachi to stop Shisui, we Uchiha can definitely dry and turn the leaves!"
. . . . .
**Uchiha Clan Area, Discussion Office.**
Listening to the complaints from the clansmen one after another, Fugaku gradually felt a little shaken in his heart.
Maybe it's time for a change.
Since the Kyuubi Rebellion, they and the Uchiha clan have been forced to move to the outskirts of the village.
They became veritable outer gate villagers.
Even if he holds the position of Konoha Guard, this only aggravates the conflict with the villagers.
Complaints, a dozen a day!
The rewards are cut off by laziness!
And the villagers are becoming increasingly indifferent to them.
Even the clansmen on the battlefield began to die in vain!
Can't see the body!
No pension in sight!
Dogs can bite when they are anxious; let alone Uchiha?
In the past year, more and more clansmen have become dissatisfied.
Especially several radical elders!
Even he, the Uchiha clan leader, can no longer hold it down.
If they don't resist, the Uchiha clan may fall into civil strife!
"Hush, everyone."
He rubbed his somewhat restless temples, looked at a group of red eyes in front of him, and finally nodded deeply.
"In that case, when Shisui and Itachi come back tonight, we will go to—"
Before he finished speaking, a quick notification suddenly came from outside the door.
"Patriarch! Shisui is back!"
"Come back?"
The elder looked happy and patted the table in great excitement.
"Patriarch! The day of lifting the pole is today!
"The glory of my Uchiha clan continues from now on—"
Just as he was about to continue, he was interrupted.
One of the Uchiha clan members bared his teeth, seeming to have encountered something strange. He struggled and said, "But... his eyes were taken out!"
Bang!
"Nonsense! How could Shisui be blind with other gods in his body?!"
The elder slammed the table.
He didn't believe it at all.
But!
Fugaku and others quickly walked out.
As soon as they walked out, they saw nearly a hundred clansmen surrounding the family door not far away.
They seemed to be pointing and saying something. Although he couldn't hear clearly, he could feel the rage in their voices.
Scary voices.
"What's going on?"
Fugaku looked dark and walked faster.
Wow.
After clearing away the crowd and seeing Shisui in front of him, the sky seemed to collapse.
He was still the sunny and handsome young man, but his originally innocent and bright eyes had disappeared.
Only his eyes were filled with blood.
A blood scab formed at the corner of his eye.
"Shisui! How could this happen?!"
"Damn it, it must have been caused by Konoha!"
"I am a genius of the Uchiha clan, and I must avenge this, patriarch!"
Amidst the continuous wailing, the hawks who spoke earlier came from behind.
His face was twisted and his expression was miserable.
The three magatama Sharingan in both eyes almost turned around and took off.
He looked up at the clansmen around him, slowly took something out from behind, and said:
"Patriarch! It's late at night; it's cold. Put on this dress!"
The words fell, and the clothing in his hands were relaxed and spread.
The five characters "Gundai Hokage" printed on the back were particularly clear!
"Naruto, why can't I, the Uchiha clan, do what I will if I kill Sarutobi one day?!"
"As long as you give an order, there are now 432 lower ninjas, 183 middle ninjas, and 69 upper ninjas in the clan! They will rush directly into the Konoha Building and tear that old man apart!"
Swish!
As soon as these words came out, nearly a hundred clansmen and several elders looked over instantly!
The eyes of all but a few moderate clansmen became scarlet.
New hatred and old hatred!
Uchiha Glory and Naruto's position!
Tonight, it's time for Konoha to change.
"Hoo..."
Tomitake looked at the Hokage suit and seemed to see the Hokage position not far away, waving to him.
It seemed that he saw countless Konoha ninjas flocking to him when he raised his hands again.
Not happy?
Very cool.
But he...
After just hesitating for a while, he shook his head silently.
I have to say that, after all, Fugaku has a strong mind.
He suddenly moved his eyes away from the "Fifth Hokage" suit.
Looking at the angry clansmen, he asked softly: "Why don't we ask what happened to Itachi?"
Only then did everyone realize that it was Itachi holding Shisui.
For a moment, the clansmen fell silent.
Only heavy breathing spread among the Uchiha clan.
"No wonder that guy Jin insisted on letting me bring people..."
Itachi's eyes flashed, and he decided to hide part of the matter.
"Hoo, I'm sorry, Father; he took out Shisui's eyes by himself."
After saying that, he thought silently in his heart: If Brother Shisui were awake, he would definitely say the same thing, right?
He certainly didn't want to see conflicts between the clan and the village.
But...
Thinking about it, Itachi's eyes silently glanced at several clan elders.
Especially the elder holding the Hokage costume; a cold light flashed in his eyes.
He actually blasphemed the position of Naruto!
Death is coming!
As a ninja who has been instilled with the Will of Fire, Itachi Uchiha can tolerate a lot, but—he cannot tolerate a blasphemy against Naruto.
This is his value.
"Perhaps the conflicts between the clan and the village really cannot be reconciled."
"Maybe, it's time for me to talk to Lord Naruto."
"Since it cannot be reconciled, one party must disappear..."
At this moment, Itachi's perception of his clan quietly changed.
After hearing this, Tomitake breathed a sigh of relief.
He clapped his hands and comforted them:
"Okay, everyone, there is a problem with Shisui's body, and the clan's strength is greatly reduced!"
"As for the villagers and financial issues, I will go to Naruto to communicate."
Slowly, the restless hearts of many clansmen calmed down.
The blush in their eyes slowly disappeared.
Only Uchiha Itachi was left standing there, neither happy nor sad.
"Itachi, go back too."
Tomitake shook his head and patted his eldest son on the shoulder.
His eyes flashed through the eldest son's clenched right hand.
He didn't say anything; he just picked up Shisui, turned around, and walked toward the clan.
**In Situ.**
Itachi stood still under the moonlight.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, his expression moved and he looked behind him.
Outside the clan, a man wearing a black suit with a mask seemed to be looking at him.
"Huh? Is it the Root?"
He looked moved, raised his legs, and chased after him.
