Chapter 35 Respected Chief Xiaonan
After a gust of light sand, Gaara's figure appeared in the original position.
He quietly watched the two running figures, memories flashing through his mind.
"Your name was given by my sister. This child is called Gaara, a Shura who only loves himself. I hope you only love yourself and fight only for yourself. Only in this way can you survive. This is my sister's wish."
'But my sister gave you this name not because she cares about you or loves you. The reason why she gave you this name and hoped that you would live is because my sister, who died with resentment, hopes that her resentment can remain in the world and be known to the world. She has no love for you at all.'
Gaara stood there for a long time. After he came to his senses, he turned around expressionlessly and left in the opposite direction of the two people.

Konoha
Uchiha clan land
In a meeting room, Uchiha Inahiro saw Itachi walk in and sneered, "Why, clan leader, aren't you going to take back the things that belong to the clan?"
Itachi took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then said, "No, the Third Generation said we have to wait for a few days."
Hearing this, another radical Uchiha Takuma narrowed his eyes: "It's just an excuse to delay time. Maybe the village leaders want to take advantage of this time to launch a surprise attack on the Uchiha."
The elder of the clan slowly spoke: "Takuma is right. I also suspect that the village wants us to let down our guard and take us down completely in one fell swoop. The clan must be on guard."
Uchiha Tiehuo curled his lips and said, "Everyone in the village knows that the clan is going to stage a coup, how could they still show mercy to us?"
Fugaku sat there quietly listening without saying a word.
"Itachi, you grew up eating the rice of the clan, so there is no reason for you to help Konoha to ruin the clan. Now that you have those eyes, why not lead us to rebel against Konoha! We will start tonight, and tomorrow morning, you will become the fifth generation of Konoha Village, and you can help the clan take back everything they have lost!"
"Yes, Itachi. If you can lead the clan to a successful coup, you will always be our most respected clan leader."
Itachi frowned and said in a cold voice: "Have you ever thought about the consequences of a failed coup in the clan? Not everyone in the clan wants a coup. Just because you want to vent your dissatisfaction, you have to gamble the lives of everyone in the clan on whether the coup will succeed?"
Uchiha Takuma sneered: "Then, Master, have you ever thought that it was Konoha that targeted Uchiha first? Uchiha is the strongest family in the entire ninja world. As one of the two major ninja clans that established Konoha, why should we endure the village's false accusations?"
Itachi asked, "How do you know it was a false accusation? And not someone in the clan really used the Sharingan to control the Nine-Tails back then?"
"Then how can you be sure that the Sharingan wasn't dug out by someone else after a clan member sacrificed himself to protect Konoha during the war?"
"What Brother Yashiro said is right. And it's not just that. Although the price of Sharingan in the black market is not cheap, there are many people who can afford it. Who knows if the Sharingan that controls the Nine-Tails was bought on the black market? Just because of suspicion, the clan's land was moved to the edge of the village. The village treats Uchiha like this, then why can't the Uchiha stage a coup?"
"The Uchiha clan is one of the two major ninja clans that founded Konoha! Konoha owes us a Hokage. Since they won't give it to us, then we will take back what belongs to us!"
Listening to everyone arguing, Itachi couldn't help but rub his brows.
At this moment, the village owes Uchiha another Hokage...
I feel it would be better to just get rid of these hawks. Compared to hawks, doves are obviously much easier to talk to.
"Chief Itachi, have you made up your mind? Will you lead us in a coup, or will you stand against the clan, help the village, and eliminate those of us who are of the same clan who want a coup?"
Itachi sighed.
"We will discuss this matter later, while we wait for the Sandaime's reply. You can rest assured that if the village launches a surprise attack, I will stand in front of the Uchiha and stop the village. On the other hand, if you launch a coup, then I will help the village... put down the rebellion!"
When he said the latter, a kaleidoscope shape appeared in Itachi's eyes.
"Damn it! I knew you were still on Konoha's side!"
"Just wait, sooner or later, I will also awaken those eyes!"
Itachi ignored them, glanced at Fugaku who was resting with his eyes closed, and walked towards home.
If he only used his mouth, he would be able to defeat these radicals.
My family knows their own affairs.
During the Warring States Period, the Uchiha clan was defeated by the Senju clan, and many members surrendered to the Senju clan. If the first Hokage had not been so easy to talk to, the Uchiha clan would have been exterminated at that time...
How can a ninja clan that was defeated and surrendered and then followed the Senju to establish Konoha have the nerve to say that they are one of the two major ninja clans that established Konoha?
It's just that Uchiha Itachi also has the surname Uchiha, and he still has to save some face, so in this matter, he can only play dumb.
As for what the clan members emphasized, when they went to the battlefield for Konoha, the clan made great sacrifices...
Konoha is protected by all the ninja clans and ninjas together. Every ninja clan has made great sacrifices, not just the Uchiha.
Moreover, the Uchiha protected the village, and the village also protected the Uchiha. In the ninja world, there were many ninja villages and rebellious ninjas who coveted the Sharingan.
Evening
Just as Itachi was about to go to sleep, there was a knock on the door.
He stood up and opened the door.
"Father?"
Fugaku asked straight to the point: "Today you only said that you were waiting for the response from the Third Generation. This made the tribesmen very unhappy. Can you tell me the reason? I can also appease them."
Itachi was silent for a moment, then said, "Let's talk outside." After that, he walked out of the house first.
After walking a few steps, Itachi said without turning his head: "Father, there is no need to look into my room. I destroyed the suicide note in the scroll after reading it."
Fugaku:……
"Now I understand my father and mother's love for me even more. Don't worry, I won't let you down with the outcome of this matter."
He will try his best to keep his hands free from the blood of his people.
Fugaku:……
……
Time flies, and a week has passed in the blink of an eye.
Rain Country
Only then did Konan realize that her bloodline limit could actually be used to make money.
Looking at the boxes of banknotes within the organization, Konan and Nagato still have a feeling of unreality.
Just this morning, each ninja village sent representatives to the Rain Country.
The Land of Earth and the Land of Wind want to collect all the detonating talismans at the price of 500 taels per piece.
The Fire Nation offered six hundred taels.
The Thunder Country offered eight hundred taels.
After a lot of internal arguing, the price was finally set at one thousand two taels. It was up to you to buy it or not.
The thoughts of each major ninja village are very complicated.
You may be wary, but if you don't take advantage of an opportunity, you'd be a bastard.
This price is much lower than purchasing from ninja tool suppliers.
Konan couldn't help but hold his forehead when he saw Kakuzu counting money with his head down.
"Do you really need to do that? You're still counting them one by one. There are more than 6 billion taels. How long will it take you to finish counting them?"
Old Kakuzu took off his mask, took a sip of water, and tapped his fingers twice, counting as he said, "As for, of course I shouldn't. Dear Chief Konan, to be honest, this is my greatest hobby."
Nagato:......
