章節 8: Chapter 8: Overturning the Table
With the arrival of the Uchiha decision-makers, the medical ninjas also rushed over, bringing simple beds and medical equipment, and began treating Shisui and Itsuki on the spot.
With so many Uchiha big shots here, every available resource of the Uchiha could be mobilized. There was no safer place than this.
The big shots also wanted to know the first-hand information, be it about the two's injuries or the investigation results.
Additionally, they had another layer of concern.
If they could be attacked here, how could sending them to the clan's hospital guarantee their safety?
So, it was better to treat them on the spot.
At least, they were here!
The Konoha Police Force began a more detailed investigation of the surroundings.
Seeing the condition of Shisui and Itsuki, almost all the Uchiha were agitated, their Sharingan involuntarily appearing in their eyes.
Including those Uchihas who had been taught a lesson by Itsuki.
Eye-gouging!
For the Uchiha, this was absolutely unforgivable.
It was an absolute taboo!
Although the Uchiha clan did not have the Caged Bird Seal like the Hyuga clan, their protection of eyes was no less stringent.
The Mist Village might have a Byakugan, but how many people have you seen with a Sharingan?
Cold killing intent was spreading, freezing the air.
At this moment, the Uchiha had become a volcano that could erupt at any time!
"Damn it, damn it!"
The representative of the Dove Faction, Uchiha Sougi, had a ferocious expression.
He was an elder of the Uchiha clan, on the same level as Uchiha Setsuna.
They had both followed Uchiha Madara, even higher in rank than Fugaku by two generations.
Usually, he leaned towards conciliatory policies.
At one point, he even believed that the Uchiha's strength was too strong, which was why the Uchiha were targeted by the village. Hence, he suggested reducing the Konoha Police Force.
At this moment, this usually gentle old man was bursting with astonishing killing intent, making both Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Setsuna take notice.
He was extremely angry.
Shisui and Itsuki were descendants of Uchiha Kagami.
Uchiha Kagami was a disciple of the Second Hokage. According to the Second Hokage, Kagami was someone who had transcended the narrow mindset of 'one clan'.
He was deeply trusted by the Second Hokage and made significant contributions to Konoha's development.
He was a hero of Konoha!
Universally acknowledged!
This was one of the few members of the Uchiha clan recognized by Konoha.
Even the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo of the Roots respected Kagami.
Most members of the Dove Faction idolized Uchiha Kagami, taking his ideas as the core, trying to find ways to integrate the clan into the village for common living.
To be someone useful to the village, not just the clan.
Shisui and Itsuki were not only Kagami's descendants but, in Sougi's eyes, were also inheritors of Kagami's will.
There was no need to say much about Shisui.
Although Itsuki liked to mess around, he had often stopped the Uchiha's Hawk Faction from acting recklessly.
For this, he didn't hesitate to fight them.
Many members of the Hawk Faction were both angry and fearful of Itsuki. Why?
Because they had been beaten!
He also often took care of some orphans in Konoha.
Especially hated killing!
During the war, he avoided killing whenever possible!
All these reflected Itsuki's true nature.
Now, the core members!
The children they had watched grow up!
The most talented new generation of the Uchiha clan!
Had been severely injured in the clan's core area, with their eyes gouged out!
This was a challenge to the bottom line of the entire Uchiha.
It also shattered Uchiha Sougi's rationality!
Sougi turned his cold gaze towards Uchiha Setsuna.
They were both old now.
The Hawk Faction had no successor!
The Dove Faction had two!
Was it you?
"Hmph!" Uchiha Setsuna snorted coldly, "Sougi, don't glare at me like that. I would never do such a thing."
"You better not!" Sougi said each word slowly, "Otherwise, I will make you understand the wrath of us so-called Doves!"
Among the three factions within the Uchiha, the Dove Faction was definitely not weak.
Disliking fighting was just a matter of personality, not of strength.
Setsuna sneered, "Wrath? You've been docile for so long, do you even remember what fighting feels like? Can you still wield a kunai? Domesticated doves!"
"Setsuna Elder! Sougi Elder!" Fugaku's sharp gaze swept over them as he spoke in a low voice, "Stop talking nonsense."
This wasn't the council chamber.
Nor the Naka Shrine!
There were too many people around.
If these two elders started arguing here, it would be a big deal.
In their fury, who knew what they might say.
Unfortunately, at this moment, the clan leader's authority had lost its effect.
Uchiha Setsuna was inherently crazy, doing things recklessly.
He had even rebelled against Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Of course, he had failed.
As a result!
Hiruzen didn't even harm him, just stared coldly at him for a while, leaving him alive to keep watching him.
It must be said that the young Hiruzen Sarutobi did have the demeanor of a great ninja.
But Uchiha Setsuna saw this as an utter humiliation.
He wasn't afraid of death but couldn't tolerate such shame!
He was a proud Uchiha!
So!
His personality became more extreme!
The Hawk Faction's actions became more aggressive, trying several times to start a war and reclaim the Uchiha's rightful place in Konoha.
Usually, it took both Fugaku and Sougi to suppress him.
Telling him to shut up? Who do you think you are?
You like living in humiliation; he absolutely would not!
Setsuna glanced coldly at Fugaku, grinning insincerely, "The clan leader is starting to gag us now? Next, are you going to seal this old man's home too?"
Sougi also coldly said, "Clan leader, which of my words were nonsense? I just want the truth!"
"If it wasn't Elder Setsuna, then it wasn't."
"If it was..."
The scarlet Sharingan spun in his eyes.
Setsuna grinned.
Great!
This was exactly what he wanted!
He had long been displeased with the Dove Faction's behavior, eager for a direct confrontation.
Just perfect to break the current structure of the Uchiha.
Fugaku's face turned ugly.
The tempers of these two old men were flaring.
Couldn't they consider the situation?
The Uchiha were already chaotic enough, and now this? If they couldn't help, could they at least not make things worse?
"It shouldn't be Elder Setsuna."
A voice suddenly interjected.
Everyone turned their heads, frowning slightly.
"Mujin? What do you know?"
Fugaku's expression was indifferent.
It was a young Uchiha, about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, with a handsome appearance.
He had the vitality of youth.
And if he remembered correctly, he had a good relationship with Itsuki, often speaking on his behalf.
Uchiha Mujin was a somewhat famous genius within the Uchiha clan.
He had awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan at a young age, becoming a Jonin.
If he wasn't a Jonin, he wouldn't dare interrupt the clan leader and elders.
Uchiha Mujin hesitated for a moment, "Itsuki's strength is very strong. From what I know, many of the Uchiha Jonin are either on missions or patrolling. The Jonin that Elder Setsuna can mobilize, including himself, are fewer than five."
His words left everyone stunned.
"What do you mean?" Setsuna glared at Mujin, laughing angrily, "You mean I can't handle Uchiha Itsuki with five Jonin?"
Damn it!
Did he know how many wars he had been through?
He had even fought the Senju clan alongside Uchiha Madara!
Itsuki's strength was good, his talent high, but in Setsuna's eyes, he was still too young.
Not to mention, five Jonin...
Damn it, those were Uchiha Jonin!
Not ordinary Jonin from other ninja clans in Konoha!
An Uchiha Jonin could easily handle two ordinary Konoha Jonin.
Nearby, Uchiha Itachi, who had been taking care of Shisui and Itsuki, seemed to realize something. He turned sharply, his expression horrified.
He opened his mouth to rebuke but was too late to stop it.
"Yes!" Uchiha Mujin said firmly, "Clan leader and elders, you may not know, but I have a good relationship with Itsuki. I know some of his secrets. Itsuki... has awakened a special Sharingan above the three-tomoe, the Mangekyo!"
"What did you say?!"
Several furious shouts erupted simultaneously.
All eyes turned towards him.
The atmosphere reached a new height.
Uchiha Itachi's heart sank to the bottom.
This time, something really big was about to happen.
