Chapter 374 Let's Dance! (Please Subscribe)

June 9th, nighttime, Uchiha clan residence.

Today is Itachi Uchiha's eighth birthday. His father, Fugaku Uchiha, held a birthday party for him, and his mother also prepared many of his favorite foods.

However, Itachi Uchiha only found it noisy!
"Itachi awakened the Sharingan with two tomoe at the age of eight. The clan leader has a worthy successor!"

"That's right, the Uchiha clan has never had such a small Sharingan ninja before."

"If you ask me, with the young clan leader's talent, he might be able to open those legendary eyes in the future!"

The guests present expressed their appreciation and blessings to the clan leader, Uchiha Fugaku.

Uchiha Fugaku, standing in the crowd, couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing these compliments.

"Oh, not at all. Itachi still has a long way to go. He needs to work harder, hahaha."

Uchiha Itachi, standing to the side, watched his father's face, which was full of smugness, but he showed no joy whatsoever.

That Sharingan that his father showed off was obtained at the cost of his teammate's life!

"My father doesn't understand anything at all!"

Uchiha Itachi quietly left home and wandered aimlessly along the road.

Before long, we arrived at the end of the road, on a small hill at the edge of the village.

Not far beyond the hill lies the barrier of Konoha Village.

Sitting atop the hill, Itachi Uchiha looked down at the lights of the Uchiha clan mansion and began to ponder the meaning of life once more.

Thinking of the brutal fighting on the battlefield, and the scenes of people being hostile to each other.

Thinking about the conflict between the Uchiha clan and the village, the clan members made no attempt to hide their complaints and dissatisfaction.

Thinking of his father, he only knew to celebrate his awakening of the Sharingan, but he didn't understand at all...

If possible, he would rather never awaken the Sharingan!

Sometimes Itachi Uchiha would even fantasize that it would be great if a meteorite fell from the sky and destroyed everything.

He wouldn't have to face these people and things that upset him all the time.

"Destroy the world!"

Uchiha Itachi suddenly stood up and stretched out his right hand towards the Uchiha clan mansion below and towards Konoha Village below.

Imagine yourself controlling a meteorite, plummeting at high speed, burning in the sky like scattered flowers, and crashing into the buildings below.

With a deafening roar, the scorching meteorite will ignite wooden materials, engulfing the entire world in flames.

"and many more!"

Uchiha Itachi suddenly realized something was wrong. Why did the Uchiha clan mansion on the hill seem to be really on fire?
Itachi Uchiha quickly rubbed his eyes and looked down again.

It's firelight!
It was indeed a fire; the Uchiha clan residence was on fire!

No, he was just imagining things, how did it actually start to burn?
Uchiha Itachi was greatly alarmed, wondering if he had awakened some kind of bloodline limit that granted his wishes.

Then it dawned on them that someone was attacking the Uchiha clan!
"Oh no, Sasuke! Mom!"

Uchiha Itachi didn't have time to think and dashed down the mountain.

Chakra frantically gathered at his feet, all to make himself faster.

In his haste to get somewhere, Itachi Uchiha didn't realize that his Sharingan had been activated on its own.

Two black tomoe spun rapidly in his eyes.

"Sasuke! Mom! Please, please be alright!"

Fugaku Uchiha: Why am I not included?

Let's rewind a few minutes.

Just as the Uchiha were sitting on the hill deep in thought, more than a hundred Uchiha ninjas gathered in a courtyard.

Uchiha Rin, clad in red armor and with her long hair flowing freely, stood at the front of the group, her hands resting on a ninja sword.

Three jet-black tomoe slowly appeared in the blood-red Sharingan.

An inexplicable pressure emanated from Uchiha Rin, causing the Uchiha ninjas present to feel a chill!
During this time, they had already witnessed the violence of the girl in front of them.

Of the more than one hundred Uchiha ninjas in the courtyard, not one of them had been beaten up by Uchiha Rin more than once.

"So alike! So alike!" The old man looked at the armored girl standing in front of him and seemed to see the figure of that man—Uchiha Madara!
Wearing the same blood-red armor and with the same long, flowing hair, except that he was a little shorter, weaker, and less imposing.
She's practically a female version of Madara Uchiha!

"That kid, Kanbara, he really is something else."

Recalling the scene a few days ago when Mu Sheng delivered this armor, the old man had to admit that he was greatly enhanced by this skin.

Your own morale can increase by 30% for no reason, while the enemy's morale will decrease by 30%.

With this increase and decrease, the radicals' chances of winning have greatly increased!

"Fifty-three years ago, the ancestors of the Uchiha clan joined forces with the Senju clan to establish Konoha Village in order to end the chaos in the ninja world!"

"However, since the founding of Konoha, the Uchiha clan has been subjected to constant harm and oppression, and even the clan leader, Uchiha Madara, was forced to leave Konoha."

As the old man looked at Uchiha Rin, who was spouting nonsense with a straight face, he couldn't help but show a satisfied expression.

"After that, the village's higher-ups went even further. That evil old devil Tobirama Senju used the police department to mislead the Uchiha and put us at odds with the villagers!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi even fabricated charges against the Uchiha clan, falsely accusing them of being the mastermind behind the Nine-Tails' attack, and drove us from the most prosperous central area of ​​the village to the outskirts.”

As she spoke, Uchiha Rin drew her ninja sword with a backhand motion and raised it high: "Uchiha clansmen? Can you endure such humiliation and oppression?"

More than a hundred Uchiha ninjas also raised their weapons and responded loudly.

"I can't stand it!"

"I can't stand it!"

"I can't stand it!"

"Alright!" Uchiha Rin nodded in satisfaction: "Since we can't tolerate it, let's use the swords in our hands to reclaim the former glory of the Uchiha clan!"

"To revitalize the Uchiha clan, we must first secure our internal stability. The first step in revitalizing the Uchiha clan is to wrest back the power of the clan leader from the corrupt and cowardly surrender faction!"

Uchiha moderates: Aren't we moderates?
"Gentlemen! Follow me into battle, defeat the surrender faction, and revive the Uchiha clan!"

As she spoke, Rin Uchiha sheathed her ninja sword and, in a flash, headed towards the Uchiha clan head's residence.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!

A dozen elite Uchiha ninjas followed behind her, while the rest headed toward their respective mission objectives according to the pre-arranged plan.

More than a dozen teams disappeared into the Uchiha clan mansion under the cover of night.

West side of the Uchiha clan residence
Several ANBU ninjas were hiding in the shadows around the corner of the building, monitoring the Uchiha clan.

Meanwhile, in a small grove of trees not far away, a group of Root ninjas were also lurking.

Their task was simple: they didn't need to monitor specific targets, but only to confirm whether there had been any large-scale personnel movements within the Uchiha clan.

Just when the Anbu thought it was going to be another peaceful night, a squad of a dozen or so Uchiha people sped straight toward them.

It seems they are about to leave the Uchiha clan residence.

"Eagle! Should we stop them?"

A member of the Anbu asked, "It seems very suspicious that more than a dozen Uchiha are going out at night."

The eagle-faced mask hesitated for a few seconds; their surveillance mission was to guard against a large-scale uprising by the Uchiha clan.

This kind of ninja team of a dozen or so people is obviously not large-scale.

"Don't stop them. Send men to follow them and see what these Uchiha are up to!" "Yes, sir!"

As they were speaking, more than a dozen Uchiha ninjas had already passed them and headed towards the outside of the Uchiha clan residence.

An Uchiha ninja, with his blood-red Sharingan, cast a deep glance at the ANBU ninja hidden in the shadows.

What kind of look was that?

Eagle frowned, and a scene of wolves attacking their prey inexplicably flashed into his mind.

"not good!"

"They're after us!"

Eagleface was shocked and hurriedly tried to warn his teammates.

However, it was too late. More than a dozen Uchiha ninjas had already split into two teams and launched a sneak attack on the Anbu and Root ninjas respectively.

"Sharingan Genjutsu: Flower in the Mirror!"

"Uchiha Taijutsu!"

"Shuriken Manipulation Technique!"

boom! boom! boom!
The Uchiha ninjas had a numerical advantage and launched a surprise attack, catching the Anbu and Root ninjas off guard and eliminating them.

Even until his last breath, when he lost consciousness, Hawk couldn't understand why the Uchiha clan dared to attack them.

And how could these Uchiha be so powerful?
"Hmph! They got off too easy. If it weren't for Lord Rin's instructions to spare their lives, I would have killed all these annoying flies!"

Uchiha Inahisa said bitterly and spat on the ground.

“It’s not time to turn against the village leaders yet,” Uchiha Touhuan casually replied.

"Clean up the battlefield quickly, we have other tasks!"

Soon, the ninjas from the Anbu and Root were hidden away.

A dozen or so Uchiha ninjas returned to the Uchiha clan residence at an even faster speed.

"Hachidai, have you all gone mad? Why are you attacking your own people?"

Uchiha Hideaki roared, never expecting that he would be attacked by his own clansmen.

"It's not us who's gone mad, it's the village's higher-ups who've gone mad!" Uchiha Yatsuho said coldly. "How dare they pressure the Uchiha like this? Do they really think our swords are ineffective?"

Uchiha Hideaki was shocked upon hearing this: "You're planning a coup?"

Damn it, weren't the radicals just talking the talk in the past?
Why are they suddenly getting serious?

Who gave them the courage?

Also, why would a coup attempt start by attacking one's own people?
"No, you're pushing the Uchiha clan to their doom! Stop it, Eighth Hokage!"

Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!

While trying to persuade him, Uchiha Masahiro unleashed a fire-style technique.

"Weak! Too weak! Shinshu, your fire jutsu is just too weak!"

Uchiha Hachimoku cleaved the oncoming fireball with a flaming blade and charged toward Uchiha Shushin with a laugh.

"How could you, kneeling before the village's tyranny, possibly understand the true meaning of Fire Release!"

Streams of fiery blade energy shot out from Uchiha Yatsuhoku's hands, slashing towards his own clansmen.

"See that? This is the true Fire Release of the Uchiha clan—arrogant! domineering! invincible!"

"Even if there is a dead end in front of us, we will be blasted to pieces by the wrath of the Uchiha!"

After dozens of slashes, Uchiha Masahiro fell at the feet of Uchiha Hachiho.

"Lie down here obediently and wait to witness the rise of the Uchiha!"

The Eighth Hokage casually tossed aside a few rolls of bandages and medicine, then teleported to another location.

Uchiha Masahiro struggled to sit up, looked at the bandages and medicine on the ground, then gazed in the direction where Uchiha Hachimoku had disappeared, and murmured:
"Eighth Hokage, your ninja way is superior to mine!"

Similar battles also took place elsewhere in the Uchiha clan compound.

The moderates were caught completely off guard and were targeted and attacked by the radicals.

Most people were only injured or maimed, but a small number of people lost their lives in the battle.

A clan uprising is no child's play; casualties are inevitable!

At the clan chief's house,

Fugaku Uchiha was still exchanging pleasantries and engaging in social interactions with his guests.

"Speaking of which, why didn't any of Elder Shana's people come today?"

"Hehe, Elder Setsuna just finished holding a celebration banquet for his granddaughter, and the young clan leader has already awakened the Sharingan!"

"A 12-year-old with three tomoe is indeed a remarkable talent, but how can he compare to an eight-year-old with two tomoe?"

"Elder Shaka is probably too ashamed to attend!"

"It's not"

Several moderates are making fun of Uchiha Setsuna.

Suddenly, it got bright outside.

A fiery dragon with distinct whiskers and mane, and ferocious scales and horns, crashed into the banquet hall.

boom! ! !
The fire dragon exploded in the banquet hall, turning the entire building into ruins.

As the ashes from the ruins dissipated, the disheveled figures of Fugaku Uchiha and his group came into view.

Looking at the old man still holding the hand seal, and the radical members surrounding him.

Fugaku Uchiha's face was as cold as ice: "Setsuna Uchiha! Are you going to betray the Uchiha?"

If they hadn't reacted quickly, they would have been seriously injured, if not killed.

"betray?"

A clear yet somewhat childish voice rang out behind the old man in an instant.

Rin Uchiha reached out and pushed aside the old man who was blocking her way, revealing her armored figure.

Red samurai armor, long flowing hair, and an overbearing and arrogant demeanor.

For a time, many elderly Uchiha clan members mistakenly believed that Madara Uchiha had returned.

"The Uchiha belong to all members of the Uchiha clan. We've only come to reclaim what's rightfully ours, and you call that betrayal?"

Rin Uchiha took a few steps forward, her armored boots making a swishing sound as she stepped through the gravel and broken tiles.

"Uchiha Rin?"

Fugaku Uchiha looked at the girl in front of him with some surprise and doubt.

Whether it's her cool outfit or the way the radical members around her look at her, it all points to one fact.

A fact that baffled and shocked Fugaku Uchiha: this girl was the mastermind behind this rebellion.

"Clan Chief Fugaku." Uchiha Rin stepped forward, swung his sword, flung away the scabbard, and casually slung the sword over his shoulder.

Do you want to dance?
