Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage!

Chapter 189 Fugaku: It is very important to me that there is no Madara!

The Uchiha clan at this time was not as calm as it appeared.

No matter how slow-witted or how uncaring he was among his clansmen, they would have realized something was wrong after a day. Moreover, although Obito did not have a high status in the family and was considered the last one, he still had a strong presence in the village.

and.

He also has a grandmother.

"Fifth Aunt, this is what happened to Obito. Please... accept my condolences!"

Fugaku sighed.

He knew that it would be harder to convince the old lady that Obito had betrayed the village than to convince her that Obito was dead.

but.

Obito really betrayed the village, and under the guidance of a terrible mastermind, he escaped the personal pursuit of the Anbu captain.

The current situation can no longer be concealed.

"This……"

The old lady fell into a chair, the light in her eyes gone.

She still couldn't believe that Obito would do such a thing, but Fugaku had come to explain the situation, so how could she still deceive herself?

Obito betrayed the village.

She murmured to herself, tears streaming down her face.

"How could he betray the village? Did he forget that I, his grandmother, am still here?"

"Fifth Aunt, I'm so sorry!"

Fugaku bowed respectfully, then turned and left the house. Looking at the crowd outside, he sighed and waved, "Go away, what are you doing here?"

"Patriarch, is this true?"

An elder of the tribe stepped forward and asked in a low voice.

Fugaku frowned, "What is it?"

"I heard that Obito went to the Minamigagawa Shrine and discovered some secrets there, and then this happened."

The elder of the clan answered.

Fugaku looked at him in surprise, and then quickly straightened his face and said, "Elder, don't spread such rumors. As for Obito, he just couldn't get over his own problems, so he betrayed the village."

He looked at the other person seriously.

"Go back and stop spreading rumors like this."

The clan elder was startled by Fugaku's look.

Before, Fugaku had always been a "good guy", who would only say "OK" or "Let's talk next time". He had never seen Uchiha Fugaku show such a sharp and terrifying look.

His lips trembled, and then he nodded: "Yes, yes, Master!"

Once there is a first case, there will be a second one, and everyone was persuaded to go back.

But this kind of thing cannot be suppressed, not to mention that this matter is related to the sensitive areas within the Uchiha clan.

Nanhe River!
That was the origin of the Uchiha clan, and the elders learned more about it, and they had more guesses about it, and they were more convinced that Obito might have known some secret at the Minamigagawa Shrine.

……

"Master, the elders are having a gathering in the clan tonight, and you are not invited. Do you know about this?"

"Shisui."

Fugaku looked at the intelligent boy in front of him.

He felt deeply moved.

Uchiha Shisui...

Just like Uchiha Kagami back then, he is kind, smart and full of special wisdom. If Uchiha Kagami could live to this day, the position of clan leader might have nothing to do with him.

but.

smart!

He sighed secretly and advised: "Shisui, you are still young, don't worry about these things, study hard, practice, and work hard to become stronger... These are more important than anything else."

"But."

Zhishui wanted to speak but stopped.

After a few seconds, he lowered his head and said, "Yes, Master!"

He wanted to find Jing Yan, but he knew rationally that—

This is an Uchiha family affair.

If he keeps revealing the whole thing to Jingyan, it might end up putting the Uchiha clan in a difficult position.

He sighed, confused for a moment.

……

The guards, the Uchiha clan, seemed to be patrolling the streets normally.

but.

Looking closely, it was clear that they were not as serious as usual, nor did they have their usual proud attitude. Each of them seemed to be weighed down with a lot of things.

Fugaku sighed softly.

He knew that the Uchiha was now in a precarious position, but apart from waiting and being patient, he really couldn't think of any better solution.

participate?

That's not a good idea.

He was frowning when a voice sounded beside him.

"Master Fugaku, would you like to chat sometime?"

"You are……"

Uchiha Fugaku was startled and turned his head quickly, then saw Jingyan standing beside him.

His pupils shrank.

Just now……

He didn't even sense the other person approaching.

This means that if Jingyan wanted to assassinate him, such means combined with Flying Thunder God would definitely make it a piece of cake.

Fortunately.

Ryomine Kyouhiko is not Danzo.

If it was Danzo, Fugaku would be more worried and scared.

"Are you free?"

"of course."

Even though the other person was younger, Fugaku remained respectful.

Following all the way back to the guard unit, Jing Yan did not stop and walked all the way to the abandoned training ground next to the guard unit.

He stopped only when he reached the training ground.

Fugaku quickly stopped behind Kyouhiko.

"Fugaku-senpai, have you ever been to this place before?"

"of course."

Uchiha Fugaku nodded.

He smiled and said, "The scenery here is beautiful. Sometimes when I feel bored, I will come here to relax and practice ninjutsu or taijutsu."

"Uchiha Obito is a small figure, but the people behind him are a huge threat to the entire Konoha. If Danzo is still alive and still in Konoha, what do you think he would do?"

Jingyan said with a smile.

Fugaku was silent.

He looked around, thinking, and then said: "Maybe they will move us from the village to here. Danzo will be happier if we resist."

"Yes, this way he can complete his vision."

Kyohiko chuckled.

Fugaku said, "You are different from Danzo."

"I'm not Danzo, otherwise Hokage and I wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to get him away. Of course, no one has any idea of ​​the current outcome. Ai from the Hidden Cloud Village is still a guest in the Anbu."

Jingyan revealed a small piece of information.

He glanced at him. When Fugaku heard the name "Ai", he was stunned for a moment. After a few seconds, he came back to his senses and said, "Ai, the son of the Third Raikage?"

"Correct."

Jingyan sneered and explained the situation.

Anyway...

These things will soon no longer be secrets, and bringing them out will allow the Uchiha clan to think twice.

The Third Raikage was no match for them.

Can Uchiha do it?

really.

After Fugaku heard the brief description, his eyelids twitched and his face subconsciously lowered. Then he remembered that although Jingyan had grown up, he was still a teenager and was slightly shorter than him.

He looked up into the distance.

"Danzo actually wanted to collude with the outside world, and he deserved to be killed. We, the Uchiha clan, will never learn from him, and we will never do anything like a guardian ninja."

Fugaku said firmly, "Your Excellency the Daimyo is certainly important, but the system of our Konohagakure and the Land of Fire has been determined before. If it is broken because of the plots of some ambitious people, it will not be good for everyone." Jingyan smiled and said, "If we need to expand, you will definitely not be a good head of the family."

"I'm not a very good head of the family when the crisis comes."

Fugaku sighed.

He is very self-aware.

He had no special talents, nor the ability to change his fate or save his family. He didn't know what to do in the current situation.

Fortunately.

There have been changes in the top Konoha executives.

If he were still an older generation, he might gradually become like those elders—

Discuss and rebel!

but now.

He has another way out.

Following the Hokage faction represented by Tsunade, Kyohiko and others seems to be a good choice.

of course.

Fugaku was not ready to surrender. He also needed to observe, think, and unify the voice and strength of the clan before making a decision.

So, meeting with Jingyan...

He had been longing for this for a long time ever since Obito's unexpected defection, but he hadn't expected that it would be Kyohiko who would come to him on his own initiative in the end.

Through the perception and judgment of emotions and expressions, Jingyan began to make a preliminary judgment on Fugaku's current mentality and thoughts——

Fugaku is still close to Konoha.

At least they are inclined to cooperate with Konoha under the current circumstances, or make some changes, but definitely not something as extreme as rebellion.

Jingyan seemed to be thinking about something.

In the original trajectory, Fugaku slowly leaned towards the path of rebellion, which was actually related to the Night of the Nine-Tailed Fox.

On the night of the Nine-Tails, the Uchiha clan's escape route was cut off.

One is that Minato Namikaze died.

The Third Hokage, Danzo, regained the throne.

Another thing is that Uchiha's Sharingan played some unimaginable roles in the Night of the Nine-Tails, making Uchiha's position awkward.

It hasn’t happened yet.

He had hopes for Konoha, especially after the Third Hokage and Danzo left.

Jingyan chatted with him for a while.

Fugaku gradually let go of the box and began to talk about his thoughts. At this time, Jingyan told the purpose of his trip: "Master Fugaku, you should know about Senior Orochimaru, right?"

"Yes."

"He gave me a hypothesis. Is it possible that Madara is not dead, but exists in some special state, such as a soul, a chakra life form, or even taking over someone's body and consciousness?"

Jingyan put forward his own idea.

Fugaku was stunned for a few seconds, then replied: "You mean, does the Uchiha have such a technique?"

"Yes, is that possible?"

Jingyan asked.

Fugaku pondered, then said: "I can't be sure. Madara's realm and level are far beyond ours. He... You know that the Uchiha clan has a higher level of Sharingan, but did you know that Madara once took his brother's eyes and used them to heal his own injuries."

He paused for a moment, then said, "I heard from the elders in the clan that Madara has become even more powerful since then. His pupil skills are almost invincible, and he has not been injured since then."

"On the way here, I was thinking about a question."

Jingyan walked along the lake and said with a smile, "If Madara used illusions and secret techniques to change a person's memory and consciousness and made him believe that he was the reincarnated Madara, would he be like Madara?"

Fugaku was stunned for a second.

Immediately, he said: "Illusion is not my area of ​​expertise, and at a higher level, I heard there are some very powerful and special eye techniques. I don't know what exactly Madara's eye technique is."

"Please help me, Master Fugaku, to collect information."

"must."

……

Back to the Guard.

Uchiha Yashiro looked towards the training ground and asked, "Master, who were you with just now?"

"Ah."

Fugaku closed the office door.

There were only the two of them in the room. Fugaku sat down on the chair and let out a long breath.

"That boy is too strong!"

"You had a fight with him?"

"No……"

Fugaku described the general content of his conversation with Kyohiko.

The Uchiha Yashiro was shocked.

He slumped down in his chair and didn't say a word for a long time.

Before, Yashiro had never thought that Obito's simple defection would involve such a horrific inside story, even the dead Uchiha Madara was implicated.

Is Madara still alive?

This……

How can it be!

but.

"Master, if Madara is really not dead, then our clan will..."

Yashiro hesitated for a moment and said, "Does staying in Konoha still have a future?"

He could imagine it.

When Konoha knows that Madara is not dead, they will be very wary of their clan. After all, Madara is their ancestor, and now he has taken a child away so easily.

Who knows, Konoha already has many other ideas...

At this moment, he finally understood why Fugaku had been so gloomy for the past two days. No one would feel so relaxed with such pressure on their shoulders.

"Master, otherwise, tonight in Nanhechuan..."

"Return to Nanhechuan?"

Fugaku glanced at Yashiro and sighed helplessly.

That's why he was unwilling to attend a meeting with this group of people.

"If Konoha already knows everything, why go to Nanga River?"

Conspiracy and meetings.

It has to be confidential enough.

God knows how many eyes are watching Nanga River right now. What's the difference between plotting there and going to the Hokage building to discuss loudly?
"Master, I am so stupid!"

The eighth generation of the Uchiha clan also came to his senses and lowered his head, feeling extremely ashamed.

"Yada, you are one of my few predecessors. Don't get too close to those elders. Many of them are corrupt and can only see part of the benefits and risks."

Fugaku frowned and sighed, "There is no future in going against a ninja village. Aren't the lessons of the Snow Clan and the Kaguya Clan enough?"

Although the Snow Clan and the Kaguya Clan are not as strong as the Uchiha Clan, they are also an extremely powerful force.

The results of it?
The Hidden Mist Village directly recruited the Tailed Beast Jinchuriki.

That was not a fight, but genocide and massacre. A family had no ability to resist at all.

Yashiro sat weakly in the chair.

"But Madara is still alive..."

"Kyohiko is right. The current Madara may just be a soul, or he may be the real Madara transformed through illusion or secret techniques."

A cold light flashed in Fugaku's eyes.

After hearing this, Yashiro nodded in agreement.

"When the First-Hero killed Madara, the Second-Hero also verified that Madara could not be alive. The current Madara must be a backup left by him, a fake with altered memory and consciousness."

When he thought of this, he also "realized" the role of Obito.

"So, that guy kidnapped Obito in order to brainwash him and tamper with his memory, so that he could become the new Uchiha Madara?"

"Apparently so."

Uchiha Fugaku nodded and a smile slowly appeared on his face.

With Jingyan's reminder and Yashiro's cooperation, he gradually sorted out his thoughts!
That's right.

That’s what the “truth” says!

"Let's have a meeting."

Fugaku stood up, a confident smile on his face, "It is time to put a stop to the uneasy commotion within the family."

Even if it was the real Ban, he had to tell his tribe that the guy was fake.

The truth is not important, what is important is that there are no spots!
