Chapter 42: Konoha Village is in turmoil

The Uchiha clan members all looked around at the surrounding clan members with suspicion.

Don't even say it.

As soon as the elder mentioned this, they also began to doubt.

Madara-sama is not the type to hide his head and show his tail...

If it was really done by a ninja from the clan, he let Uchiha take such a big blame...

That's simply unforgivable!

"No one admits it, right?"

"Should we still sign it? After all, it will cost us a lot."

"You have to trust our people and sign it."

"I will never sign it anyway! This is too outrageous. The agreement actually requires each of us to put the village and the villagers first. Doesn't that mean that even if the villagers point fingers at me and scold me, I can't do anything to them?"

"Last time, two ignorant guys said that we Uchiha would only hide behind during the Nine-Tails Rebellion! Why should I try to please those guys? Instead of getting the approval of those ignorant guys, it would be better to directly stage a coup and seize power from the top!"

"You must sign for me today! Do you want to drag all the tribesmen to be buried with you?"

"For the sake of our family, please sign your name. My child is only four years old this year. If the coup fails, he will also be implicated!"

"I don't want to take any more risks with you. Sorry, I don't want to die yet."

……

Late night

Sarutobi clan

A flock of crows flew overhead.

In the room

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was suffering from insomnia due to too many worries, suddenly opened his eyes at this moment.

What came into view was a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan.

"Do not resist the genjutsu, Sandaime-sama. I will tell you the truth about Shisui's death."

Hearing the familiar voice, Sarutobi Hiruzen breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that his actions have completely gained the other party's trust.

In illusion.

Sarutobi Hiruzen found that he had actually put himself in Itachi's perspective.

In a forest, a masked Itachi was leaning against a huge rock.

At this moment, a noise came from the sky.

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked uncontrollably, "Is it Shisui?"

Only two short words came from the sky.

【come over! 】

Sarutobi Hiruzen took off his mask uncontrollably and narrowed his eyes.

My body couldn't help but follow.

The two of them came to a cliff.

Shisui, who had his back to him, spoke: [The Uchiha coup can no longer be stopped. Once Konoha starts a civil war, other countries will definitely take advantage of the situation and invade. War is inevitable. I wanted to use Kotoamatsukami to stop the coup, but Danzo took my right eye away.]

Having said that, Shisui turned around.

[He doesn't trust me. He is determined to protect the village in his own way. I'm afraid he won't let go of my left eye. Before that, I'll give this eye to you.]

Sarutobi Hiruzen:!

Shisui dug out his left eye.

[I can only ask you, my dear friend, to protect the village and the Uchiha name.]

A crow flew from the sky, grabbed the left eye with its claws, and then turned into black feathers and disappeared.

Itachi asked: [I accepted it, what are you going to do? ]

[If I die, the situation will probably change. ]

As he said this, Shisui's body fell toward the back of the cliff.

[If you are still my friend...]

Sarutobi Hiruzen shuddered suddenly.

His face was filled with shock and anger.

"Danzo! You did a great job!"

"Shisui...he is the descendant of Kagami!"

As expected, there was no reason why Shisui, who had the ability to stop the Uchiha coup, would not use his ability and instead commit suicide to weaken the Uchiha's morale to stop the coup.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked ashamed.

"Jing, I am sorry for you. It's all my fault that I didn't control Danzo well..."

……

The next day

early morning

The villagers of Konoha Village discovered that there was a notice posted every hundred meters or so on the streets of the village.

There are a whole page of words, and the general content is this.

The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen is going to the Daimyo today to resign from his position as Hokage.

The cause was his dereliction of duty.

During the Nine-Tails Rebellion, the mysterious masked man who controlled the Nine-Tails was Uchiha Madara, who had no connection with the Uchiha clan. As the Third Hokage of the village, he directly concluded that it was the Uchiha who did it without any evidence because of his prejudice against the Uchiha clan, and he also formulated a series of policies against the Uchiha clan.

First, during the Nine-Tails Rebellion, he intercepted the Uchiha ninjas who wanted to come to help, resulting in heavy casualties in the village without the powerful help of the Uchiha.

Later, the Uchiha clan was relocated and placed under 24-hour surveillance.

Uchiha could no longer tolerate this and wanted to rebel against the village leaders.

There will certainly be a lot of bloodshed and sacrifice.

Fortunately, with the joint efforts of Uchiha Fugaku, captain of the security force, and Uchiha Itachi, patriarch of the Uchiha clan, they successfully stopped the Uchiha's rebellion, appeased the emotions of the Uchiha people, and avoided unnecessary bloodshed.

Next, many stories were told about the Uchiha's contributions to the village.

For example: Although he has a tough attitude, he is not afraid of power and enforces the law impartially. Since Uchiha took over the security force, the village's security has improved significantly.

There is also bloodshed and sacrifice on the battlefield.

He had made great achievements in battle and made Konoha famous. Even the elders of the Sand Village once commented on him: If you encounter an Uchiha in a one-on-one fight, you must run away.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage, reflected on his mistakes and decided to resign from the position of Hokage.

There are two candidates for the Fifth Hokage: Uchiha Fugaku and Yamanaka Inoichi.

The final result is determined by the villagers' voting.

The deadline was set for a month later.

When the entire Konoha Village saw this notice, it was in an uproar.

The outsiders of Konoha Village also had their fill of watching the show.

"So there is such a thing? The Third Hokage... Oh, I don't know how to defend the Third Hokage. The Uchiha is also a victim."

Sarutobi Hiruzen has been in power for so many years and is still very popular among the people.

"Sama Sandaime is clearly taking all the blame on himself. I don't believe that those bad-tempered Uchiha guys are just resisting."

"Huh! I can finally talk about this. The Third Generation has been suppressing this matter and strictly prohibiting private discussions. Seeing that so many people are unaware of it, I am so anxious."

"The Nine-Tails Rebellion was indeed controlled by the Sharingan. I really hated the Uchiha guys at the time. I didn't expect that they were also misunderstood. But what was wrong with the Third-sama in this matter? Anyone would mistakenly think that it was done by the Uchiha clan, right?"

"That's right. The Third-Hero is absolutely innocent in this matter! It was clearly the evil Uchiha Madara who did this. Why should the Uchiha clan, who knew nothing about it, bear the responsibility together with the Third-Hero?"

"I am also one of the people who knew about the Nine-Tails Rebellion. At that time, I thought that the Nine-Tails was controlled by the Uchiha clan. Not long ago, I saw a drunkard taunting the Uchiha clan members of the security force, saying, 'You should hide behind like you did during the Nine-Tails Rebellion.' At that time, I really wanted to tell him that the Nine-Tails was controlled by the Sharingan. How could the Uchiha guys help? Now the truth is out. It was the Third Hokage who didn't let the Uchiha go. We have always misunderstood the Uchiha."

"Damn Uchiha Madara!"
