Chapter 226 Speech at Nanga Shrine
Haneda walked back and forth, glancing around.
He spoke loudly:
"So I killed the Third Tsuchikage in front of tens of thousands of Iwagakure ninjas, helping Konoha win a great victory on the battlefield of Iwagakure."
"But even so, the Konoha high-level officials have not stopped targeting the Uchiha!"
Hearing this, the hawkish Uchiha clan member became emotional and his eyes turned slightly red.
They knew too well that the Konoha high-level officials were targeting the Uchiha.
Especially when compared with the status of Uchiha during the reign of the Fourth Hokage!
Haneda's speech did not stop for a moment as the tribesmen became excited. He loudly declared:
"Since the second generation took over, Konoha's targeting of the Uchiha only stopped during the fourth generation."
"This is the result of the joint efforts of me and the Yondaime. Everyone has witnessed it with their own eyes!"
"However, since the Sandaime came to power again, Danzo has aged and refused to die. They have spread rumors and wantonly claimed that the purpose of killing the Fourth Hokage was the Nine-Tails!"
"And the ones who released the Nine-Tails and controlled it were us Uchiha people!"
"I fought the Kyuubi all by myself, and everyone in Konoha saw it, but they still had the audacity to spread rumors and even wanted to drive all the Uchiha out of the village!"
"Isn't this deliberately targeting the Uchiha?!"
"And specifically during the war! During the time when we Uchiha fought desperately for Konoha and Kirigakure!!"
The hawkish Uchiha clan members were completely excited.
They cursed the Sandaime and Danzo loudly, venting their dissatisfaction with the Konoha high-level officials.
Even doves are swayed by the hawks' sentiments.
They began to grow angry and began to doubt whether their actions of getting close to Konoha were correct.
Shisui started to get uneasy seeing this.
He had a vague feeling that Haneda seemed to be stirring up the emotions of the Uchiha clan members, hoping to seize the position of Hokage through a coup.
He stood up and asked loudly:
"Hokage-sama has always been committed to the symbiosis of Uchiha and Konoha, not what you said!"
"The Uchiha is always a member of Konoha, and the Hokage is the leader of Konoha. How could he be willing to see Konoha weaken!"
Haneda suddenly sneered and responded:
"Facts speak louder than words. Are you still daydreaming at this point? Are you being fooled by them?"
"Look at the reputable and powerful ninjas in Konoha, which one is willing to stay in Konoha?"
"It's fine for me, Uchiha Haneda, but even the three direct disciples of the Sandaime are like this!"
"Orochimaru was extremely disappointed with Konoha and deliberately defected from the village."
"Tsunade is extremely disappointed with Konoha and is traveling around the world."
"Jiraiya still has hope for Konoha, but what he has been looking for is the so-called child of prophecy."
"As for Uchiha, hehe..."
"What has he done for the Uchiha? Especially that inherently evil Shimura Danzo!"
"He wishes the Uchiha clan would be exterminated and disappear from Konoha completely!"
Haneda saw Shisui trying to refute and waved his hand:
"I have no intention of arguing with you. I still say that facts speak louder than words."
"Think about it yourself, what the Sandaime and Danzo really did for the Uchiha!"
At this time, Fugaku echoed:
"As the clan leader, I was not aware of the great things the Hokage and Danzo had done for the Uchiha."
"As the great elder, I am the same."
"me too."
"Me too"
……
The great elder followed suit, and other tribesmen also echoed.
Shisui looked at the scene in front of him, feeling uneasy.
Has the conflict between Uchiha and Konoha evolved to this extent?
Lord Hokage and Lord Danzo...
Shisui shook his head. He still had hope in the Konoha high-level officials.
But at the same time he also sat down and fell silent.
He knew that the Sandaime and Danzo both cared about the Uchiha, but they really hadn't done anything great for the Uchiha.
When Haneda saw that Shisui was silent, he raised the corner of his mouth slightly, pointed his finger forward, and continued his speech:
"The second thing is that I, Uchiha Haneda, will run for the fifth Hokage openly and honorably!!"
Hearing this, Shisui raised his head in surprise and looked at Haneda.
Haneda's passionate speech to stir up the emotions of the tribesmen was not intended for a coup! !
Just when Shisui was confused, Haneda said:
"The upper echelons of Konoha are all rotten, especially the Sandaime, old Danzo!"
"But Konoha's new generation is full of hope."
"Hatake Kakashi, Might Guy, Sarutobi Asuma, Yuhi Kurenai, Nara Shikaku..."
"These young heroes are the new leaves of Konoha."
"And I, Uchiha Haneda, will become the trunk that supports the big tree and reorganize the new Konoha!"
"I will lead Konoha to greatness again!!!"
After saying this, Haneda paused and walked straight towards the outside of Nanga Shrine.
He walked slowly but with great determination.
He proclaimed loudly:
"This process requires the unity of the Uchiha, and the unity of the Uchiha against the outside world!"
"This is a struggle, a struggle for the Uchiha for their own survival and for Konoha to become great again!"
"I will lead the Uchiha and charge to the forefront of this struggle!"
Haneda stopped behind everyone, and the tribesmen either turned their heads or turned to look at Haneda.
Haneda turned around, straightened his back, and supported their beliefs.
"If I fail, I will resort to other means."
“But I will not fail.”
“There can only be one end to this fight.”
Haneda held up a finger and faced everyone.
"I will lead the Uchiha to drive out these black sheep who are shaking the will of fire and make Konoha great again!"
"Must win!!!"
"Must win!!!"
The Uchiha clan members in the Nanga Shrine looked at Haneda's departing back with extremely excited expressions.
They waved their fists and shouted "Victory" over and over again.
Even Fugaku began to admire Haneda's personal charm a little bit at this moment.
Even Shisui began to admire Haneda.
Whether it is for Uchiha or for Konoha, Haneda's will is extremely firm!
…………
After Haneda left Nanga Shrine, it was a long time before the Uchiha senior ninjas left.
Shisui had mixed feelings, wondering whether he should tell the Sandaime and Danzo about what happened today.
The main people Haneda targeted were the Sandaime and Danzo, and they were very wary of Haneda.
once……
Shisui thought of a certain ending and shook his head.
Suddenly, Itachi caught up.
The two were silent for a while, and Itachi was the first to break the silence:
"Shisui, there's no need to tell anyone about this, right?"
"Uncle Haneda is already preparing to run for Hokage, this is not a coup."
"From what I know, Kakashi, the commander-in-chief of the war against Iwagakure, is a friend of Uncle Haneda."
"The subordinates of the Konoha hero Hatake Sakumo who died four years ago are also hoping that Uncle Haneda will come back."
"Even the Hokage's son, Asuma Sarutobi, has a mysterious relationship with Haneda."
"As long as we can deal with the Hyuga clan or some of the neutral ninja clans in this election, we can basically succeed."
Shisui listened in silence and whispered:
"I know that."
"But I had already met with Hokage and his men before I came here, and they knew about this clan meeting."
"I have to go over and explain."
