Chapter 965 God Shoots Bones

Everyone sat together, the atmosphere was a little dull. Shisui was the first to break the silence: "Everyone, now the village is increasingly suspicious of our Uchiha clan, and the surveillance of the Anbu is becoming more and more strict." When everyone heard this, they showed resentment on their faces.

Itachi stood up slowly: "We must act with caution. If we cause greater conflicts, it will be detrimental to the clan and the village."

At this time, an elderly clan member snorted coldly: "Are we going to be suspected and monitored forever? We Uchiha have also made great contributions to Konoha."

Just as Itachi was about to speak, there was a sudden noise outside. Everyone instantly became alert, and Shisui whispered, "Don't worry, I'll go out and take a look."

Shisui walked out of the secret room and saw several ANBU members approaching. "What are you doing here? This is a gathering of the Uchiha clan," Shisui asked calmly.

The ANBU member replied: "The higher-ups are worried that something bad might happen to the village, so they ordered us to come and check it out."

Shisui smiled and said, "Don't worry, we are just communicating within the family and will not harm the village." The Anbu members hesitated for a moment and left. Shisui breathed a sigh of relief and turned back to the secret room, where the clan members were nervously waiting for news.

Shisui walked into the secret room and said to everyone, "The Anbu people have left, but this also means that the village is monitoring us more strictly." Everyone looked worried. Itachi pondered for a moment and said, "Maybe we should take the initiative to express our position to the Hokage." A young clan member retorted excitedly, "Why should we take the initiative to bow our heads? We Uchiha clan are not inferior to others!" Itachi explained helplessly, "This is not bowing, but to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings from further deepening. Fugaku listened to Itachi's words and nodded slightly, "Itachi is right. Taking the initiative to communicate may be able to resolve some of the crises." However, the young clan member was still unconvinced, "Will the Hokage believe us? How can the suspicions of so many years be eliminated with just a few words?" Itachi looked at him directly and said, "How do you know if you don't try? Launching a coup now will only bring disaster, and the innocent people of Konoha Village will also suffer." At this moment, a secret agent sneaked into the vicinity and secretly passed on the situation here.

In the Hokage's office, the Third Hokage sighed after receiving the news. He knew the grievances of the Uchiha clan, but the villagers' concerns were not unreasonable. He decided to give the Uchiha clan a chance and arrange a meeting.

On Itachi's side, after some debate, everyone finally agreed to Itachi's proposal. When they learned that the Hokage was willing to meet, everyone felt mixed emotions. Itachi thought that this was a key step to ease the relationship between the two sides, and no matter what the result was, it was worth a try.

On the day of the meeting, Itachi led the Uchiha representatives to the Hokage's office. Along the way, the clan members had mixed feelings, both expectant and anxious. After arriving, the Third Hokage personally greeted them. The atmosphere in the room was solemn and depressing.

Itachi spoke first: "Hokage, although the Uchiha clan is misunderstood, we have never had the intention of betraying the village. We long for peaceful coexistence and hope to be trusted like other families." The Third Hokage looked deep: "The power of the Uchiha clan is too strong, and it is natural for the villagers to be afraid. But I also understand that you have indeed made a lot of contributions over the years."

At this time, the young tribesman couldn't help but said: "If that's the case, why do you still monitor us everywhere?" The Third Hokage looked at him: "Previous events have left the villagers with shadows, and it will take time to dispel their doubts. But after today, I will reduce the surveillance of the Anbu." The Uchiha people were surprised to hear this.

Fugaku quickly stated: "We Uchiha will be careful in what we say and do to prove our loyalty." The Third Hokage nodded. This meeting became an opportunity for the Uchiha clan to change their fate. From then on, the two sides began to slowly repair their relationship and move towards harmonious coexistence. No matter what, we must seize this opportunity and work hard to persuade the Hokage to change the predicament facing the Uchiha clan, while also ensuring the safety and stability of the village.

On the day of the meeting, Itachi, Fugaku and several representatives of the Uchiha clan went to the Hokage's office. Along the way, they were in a heavy mood, and the surrounding villagers cast complicated looks at them, some vigilant, and some puzzled.

Entering the office, the Third Hokage had a serious but gentle expression. Fugaku took a deep breath and was about to speak, but Itachi took the lead and sincerely told the Uchiha clan that their loyalty to the village had never changed, hoping to eliminate the groundless suspicion and surveillance. The Third Hokage listened quietly and said slowly: "I understand your thoughts, but the villagers' fear has been around for a long time." At this time, the Anbu sent in an urgent intelligence, and the Third Hokage's face became solemn after reading it. It turned out that a mysterious force was inciting the villagers to oppose the Uchiha. Itachi immediately expressed that the Uchiha was willing to assist in investigating the truth to prove his innocence. The Third Hokage thought for a long time and said: "Then temporarily stop the surveillance of the Uchiha, but once any abnormal movement is found, it will never be tolerated." Although the Uchiha people were dissatisfied with the second half of the sentence, they also understood that this was a rare turn of events. After leaving the Hokage's office, Itachi secretly made up his mind to find out the black hand behind it and truly resolve the rift between the Uchiha and the village. To prevent the radicals in the clan from going to extremes. . "Fugaku nodded in agreement: "Itachi is right, but this matter still needs to be considered in the long run." At this moment, Mikoto suddenly felt a strange chakra fluctuation. "Not good, there may be other people spying nearby." Fugaku immediately ordered: "Everyone be careful and alert." Everyone formed seals and prepared to deal with emergencies. Itachi opened his Sharingan and tried to find the location of the hidden person.

During the tense confrontation, the chakra fluctuation disappeared. But everyone did not relax their vigilance. Itachi said in a deep voice: "It seems that we have been targeted by many parties. We cannot afford to make any mistakes in this meeting with the Hokage."

Finally, the day of the meeting arrived. The Uchiha clan, led by Fugaku and accompanied by Itachi and others, went to the Hokage's office. Along the way, the villagers cast complicated looks at them, some suspicious, some fearful.

After entering the office, the Third Hokage had a serious and tired expression. Fugaku was the first to speak and stated his purpose, hoping that the Hokage would lift the excessive surveillance of the Uchiha clan and give them trust. Itachi added: "We, the Uchiha clan, are willing to protect Konoha forever. All the previous things were just misunderstandings."

The Third Hokage thought for a long time and said, "I believe in your sincerity, but the villagers are difficult to appease. I will gradually reduce the surveillance of the Uchiha, but you must also take action to prove yourselves."

After the Uchiha clan left, Danzo in the dark showed a dissatisfied expression. He decided to secretly destroy the newly eased relationship between the Uchiha clan and the village. Everyone immediately became alert and prepared for battle. Itachi closed his eyes and sensed it, then whispered: "It is the breath of the Root Organization. They are more difficult to deal with than the Anbu." Shisui clenched his fists: "It seems that today's meeting can only end here. Everyone disperse and leave to avoid being caught in one fell swoop." So, the Uchiha clan quietly dispersed, leaving only a silent but dangerous secret room.
