Chapter 183 The Difference Between Rebellion and Coup
on screen
[Right now... the Uchiha rebellion can no longer be stopped. Judging from this, once Konoha starts a civil war, other countries will definitely take the opportunity to invade, and the war will begin.]
[I was planning to use Kotoamatsukami to stop the rebellion, but Danzo took my right eye. He didn't believe me and only wanted to protect the village in his own way. I guess I can't save my left eye either, so I can only give it to you before he takes it away.]
With that said, Shisui dug out his left eye and handed it to Itachi.
[You are the only one I can trust. Protect the village and the Uchiha name for me.]

"What? The Uchiha want to start a rebellion in Konoha?"
Similar words to rebellion: mutiny, rebellion...
"Is this the truth?"
"If this is true, then the Uchiha clan's extermination does not seem unfair...Throughout history, the losers who launched rebellions have suffered the same fate."
"Even if the extermination of the clan was not unjust, Uchiha Itachi couldn't have done it! The village should have done it... As a young man in the family, how could he... Alas. After all, if a war breaks out, it will definitely affect other small countries. This guy exterminated the clan himself, so that Konoha Village did not suffer losses and a war in the ninja world was avoided. This is a good thing for the small countries in the ninja world."
"It's a blessing that the ninja world has Uchiha Itachi, but it's even more fortunate that Uchiha Itachi was born in someone else's family."
Muye Village
"Is this what the Third-sama said? Because of the distrust of the Konoha high-level officials and the various unfair treatments suffered by the Uchiha, the Uchiha wanted to rebel? It's just a rebellion... How many ninjas in the village do they want to kill to vent their anger?"
"From the perspective of the Uchiha clan, there are certainly reasons for resistance. The high-ranking official in that village has an arm full of Sharingan. Who knows if that guy has been deliberately targeting the Uchiha clan in order to obtain the Sharingan? But even so, I don't agree with them launching a rebellion. If there is a better way..."
"The Third Hokage's solution is to give this family that wants to rebel a chance to become Hokage? This kind of thing... Alas, the Third Hokage is really old. Compared to Yamanaka Inoichi and Uchiha Fugaku, I would rather have Lady Tsunade come back to serve as the Fifth Hokage."
"The Third Hokage must have his reasons for doing this, right? He is already old, and the village has never had a qualified candidate for Hokage. He did this to make the Uchiha give up their rebellion and contribute to the village as much as possible..."

"That bastard Danzo! He actually stole Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan!"
"Shisui actually committed suicide?"
"And what were the last words he told Itachi to do? To protect the village, but when he came to the clan, he only asked Itachi to preserve the clan's name?"
"Shisui, this guy... is this how he sees the clan? The clan just wants to seize power, but he and Itachi both think the worst!"
"But...coups and rebellions are closely related, and a coup can easily turn into a rebellion..."
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.
In their eyes, a coup means controlling or killing the village leaders and seizing power.
The coup d'état in the eyes of Shisui and Itachi was a consideration of the unexpected events that might occur during the Uchiha coup.
For example, if an accident occurs during the process, they will clash with the village's ninjas, resulting in the eventual annihilation of the Uchiha clan, huge losses to the village, and other major powers taking the opportunity to invade.
Rebellion and coup d'état are not the same thing.
Rebellion refers to betrayal, rebellion and armed coup.
A coup d'état is the use of violent or non-violent means to seize power.
If the plan goes well, they can rely on the Sharingan to carry out a bloodless coup.
They are not fools. They think that they can face all the ninjas in Konoha Village with the strength of their own ninja clan. How is the difference between asking all the ninjas in the village to work together to suppress the Uchiha rebellion to seize power and seeking death?
In the Pure Land
Tobirama frowned at first, but then he thought of Danzo.
The cause and effect of the matter is not difficult to guess.
In the ninja world, many people have guessed the cause and effect.
"This tragedy was caused by the masked man Madara. It was Madara who controlled the Nine-Tails to launch a surprise attack on Konoha Village, and then the Uchiha took the blame. When they were treated unfairly, the Uchiha chose to launch a rebellion and took all the clan members to die together."
"This clan is really stubborn. They are just a ninja clan, trying to face a big ninja village."
"Although I don't know how Itachi did it, or if he is really that strong. But if the Uchiha clan members saw their clan members dying one by one in front of them during the rebellion, I'm afraid some of them would be shocked and open their eyes. At that time, the loss of Konoha Village would probably be even greater."

Utatane Koharu said: [We can no longer tolerate this! Since they want to seize power under the banner of revolution, they should treat the Uchiha as traitors of Konoha and execute them immediately!]
Sarutobi Hiruzen said: [Xiaochun, wait a minute, don't jump to conclusions.]
Danzo looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and said, "But Hiruzen, the Uchiha clan will not stop. We should come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible to avoid chaos. Including the children who know nothing..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen said seriously: [You shouldn't say this in front of Itachi. Besides, fighting a civil war with Uchiha is not that easy. There must be other ways.]
Danzo said solemnly: [The situation cannot be delayed! We must strike before they start a rebellion. As long as you, I and our Anbu join forces and launch a surprise attack from behind, we can end it quickly.]
The third generation said: [Uchiha was once a comrade-in-arms. I want to solve this problem through communication and do not want to resort to force. I will think of a solution! ]
Then, he looked at Itachi and said, [Itachi! Please buy me as much time as possible.]

"Isn't it a rebellion? How come it has become a seizure of power under the banner of revolution?"
“Although the meanings are different, if it’s a coup, there’s a high chance it will develop into a rebellion.”
"The Third Hokage actually wants to go easy on the Uchiha who staged the coup?"
"It was originally the Konoha high-ranking officials who were deliberately targeting the Uchiha clan, even though neither of them was right. One wrongly accused others when he didn't even know the real situation; the other wanted to stage a coup after being wronged."
"The Uchiha are probably desperate, because they have no way to prove their innocence... The Nine-Tails destroyed the village, who else could have done it except the Uchiha? Kakashi? Or Danzo?"

Minaga Shrine
"As expected, the Third Hokage's old face is still more pleasing to the eye."
"Since the Sandaime said that he would find a way to communicate and negotiate with the Uchiha and resolve this matter peacefully, why were the future Uchiha exterminated?"

Danzo approaches Itachi in private.
[Don't be fooled by what the Third Hokage said, but once something happens, he will protect Konoha at all costs. He is that kind of man.]
[In that case, as the Hokage, Hiruzen would have to take extreme measures, regardless of whether it would start a war or not.]
