Chapter 34 Not interested

Their time is precious, and they can't waste too much time on the Uchiha coup.

Although, it was still nearly ten years before Sasuke was killed by Madara.

And at this time in Konoha Village.

Several villagers were whispering to each other.

"Did you hear that? There's noise coming from the Uchiha clan."

"I heard it. It seems like someone is fighting over there."

"Humph, this is really a family that makes people worry."

"Is something wrong with the Uchiha? No wonder we haven't seen them out to maintain law and order in the past two days."

Kingdom of Wind

Sand Hidden Village

"Stop it! Stop it Gaara!"

Gaara frowned, looked at Temari and Kankuro, and stopped what he was doing.

"What are you doing here again?"

"We would like to ask you if you would like to..."

Before Temari could finish her words, she heard a few "crackling" sounds, and several bones in the body of the ninja wrapped in the sand were broken.

"Cough." The Sand Ninja's eyes gradually became unfocused after coughing up a mouthful of blood.

Temari swallowed back the words 'play with us'.

Temari's eyes welled up with tears.

She closed her eyes and yelled at Gaara, "Gaara! You are truly hopeless!"

Gaara just said indifferently: "What are you looking for me for? I'm not interested in knowing." After that, he glanced at the two of them, and his figure disappeared with a "swoosh".

Kankuro clenched his fists.

"This guy has killed his fellow villagers again."

Temari lowered her head, and just as she was about to turn around and leave, she heard Kankuro's exclamation.

"What is this? Look quickly, sister!"

Temari looked in the direction of Kankuro's finger.

I saw that the Sand Villager was holding a kunai in his hand.

Temari's mind buzzed and her body swayed, almost losing her balance.

Kankuro covered his head with a look of pain on his face.

"No way? Is what Gaara said true? Did the ninjas from the village really come to assassinate Gaara?"

Temari's face turned pale, "Why? Why did the village's ninja want to assassinate Gaara?"

Kankuro seemed to recall something.

That was when he was very young and saw Gaara going berserk.

On that day, there were a large number of casualties among the village's ninjas, and many of the village's buildings were destroyed.

"Are you... coming here to seek revenge on Gaara?"

……

Muye Village

Iruka walked quickly towards home.

The discussions of the onlookers gradually reached his ears.

"This guy is indeed a good teacher. But unfortunately, he is a pervert."

"My daughter is going to the Ninja School next year. If Iruka is her homeroom teacher, I don't know whether I should feel relieved or not."

"Although Iruka is a bit lascivious, he is at least a good teacher with a kind heart, right? I believe he still has this bottom line, so you can relax."

"Now that you say that, I'm even more worried..."

Iruka covered his face and ran away.

When he thought of the label of pervert, he thought of Naruto.

Similarly, when he thought of Naruto, he would definitely think of the label that was attached to him.

He is going to resign from the Third Generation! He doesn't want to be a teacher anymore!

Hokage Building

"Dong dong."

There was a knock on the Hokage's office door.

"Enter."

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was processing documents, saw that it was Itachi, and a gentle smile appeared on his face, and he put down the documents in his hand.

"Itachi, is the plan going well?"

"It went very smoothly! Hokage-sama, I am now the head of the Uchiha clan."

Sarutobi Hiruzen breathed a sigh of relief.

In this case, the task of stopping the Uchiha coup is halfway accomplished.

"Then, what we have to do next is to find a random reason to move the Uchiha clan's land back to its original location and appease the dissatisfaction of those radical factions in the Uchiha clan."

Itachi couldn't help but sigh.

Seeing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen asked hurriedly, "What's wrong? Do you have any other concerns?"

Itachi nodded with a tired look on his face and said truthfully: "Hokage-sama, there are three main reasons why the Uchiha clan wants a coup: moving the clan's land, being under surveillance, and the villagers' attitude towards the clan."

"I have a feeling that sooner or later the live broadcast will expose the Uchiha's intention to stage a coup. By then... the villagers' disgust towards the Uchiha may be even greater than before."

Last night, he thought about it for half the night but couldn't come up with a good solution.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's hands shook and his pipe almost fell to the ground.

He really hadn't thought of that.

If the live broadcast revealed that the Uchiha once wanted to stage a coup, how would the villagers view the Uchiha?

Will the Uchiha try to stage a coup again because of the villagers' treatment of them?

Sarutobi Hiruzen rubbed his brows.

This...what should I do?

It is true that the village misunderstood Uchiha, but the culprit of the Nine-Tails Rebellion did possess the Sharingan.

There was no suitable candidate for Hokage yet, and he couldn't take all the responsibility on himself right now.

"Itachi, please help me buy some time. After the candidate for Hokage is confirmed, I will take all the blame on myself."

"Then I will tell all the villagers that it was my negligence that caused the village to misunderstand the Uchiha. I also formulated various policies against the Uchiha, which made the wronged Uchiha have the idea of 'rebellion'."

Itachi's pupils trembled violently.

"No! This is not your fault. After the Nine-Tails Rebellion, everyone will suspect the Uchiha. Unless the mysterious masked man Uchiha Madara shows up again, the Uchiha will not be able to explain why the Nine-Tails was controlled by the Sharingan. You..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand, interrupting Itachi's speech.

"Don't say any more, Itachi. I'm doing this for the stability of the village. As long as the villagers know that the Uchiha wanted to rebel because they suffered a great injustice, then when the live broadcast exposes the Uchiha coup, the villagers will not hate the Uchiha so much in their hearts."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Itachi who was standing there in a daze, and said with a smile: "Just like what I said to Iruka on the live screen. The ninjas of Konoha all possess the will of fire. Then as the Hokage, I have naturally been ready to sacrifice myself for the village."

"Besides, this happened during my tenure as Hokage, and I am also responsible."

Kingdom of Wind

Sand Hidden Village

A flash of anger flashed across Gaara's eyes.

He asked impatiently, "What are you doing here again?"

Kankuro stepped forward and said, "I'm sorry, Gaara, we misunderstood you earlier. The ninjas from the village are indeed here to assassinate you."

"and then?"

"We want to ask you... do you want to play with us? If we are here, the ninjas in the village will not come to assassinate you so blatantly."

"……Not interested in."

After saying this, Gaara used the Sand Flash to leave.

Temari looked around and said, "Huh? Where is Gaara?"
