"No, we have to go and talk to the group leader to get to the bottom of this." Some of the Uchiha members were impulsive and were already planning to go and ask Uchiha Fugaku for clarification!

"That's right, that's right, it's too much, they actually want to kill our Uchiha clan!" someone next to him chimed in!

"Exactly, let's gather everyone together and find out what's going on."

As more and more people joined in, the Uchiha clan members began to head to the Uchiha Fugaku family in groups. When they arrived at the Uchiha Fugaku family's house, they found that no one was home, so they went to the Konoha Hospital instead!

Mikoto Uchiha's pregnancy and hospitalization were no secret within the Uchiha clan.

Such a large-scale operation by the Uchiha clan could not be kept secret from Minato and the others! Seeing that the situation was becoming tense, Minato had no choice but to step in personally!

"I'm going to take care of this. Obito, come with me!" Minato said to the people in the Hokage Building, then turned and left!

Obito Uchiha said nothing and turned to follow his teacher!

He was also involved in the extermination of the Uchiha clan, so he naturally has a responsibility to deal with it properly now.

After the two found Fugaku Uchiha and told him about the situation, Minato and Fugaku Uchiha returned to the Uchiha clan's territory, while Obito found the Uchiha clan members who were on their way to the hospital and told them that Fugaku Uchiha was waiting for them at the Uchiha clan's territory!

"Fourth Hokage, what do you think we should do about this?" With Minato's speed, he could reach the Uchiha clan's territory in an instant after finding Fugaku, while the others could only walk. Therefore, they had enough time to discuss a plan!

"Be truthful and tell them about Black Zetsu's plot," Minato said.

"What if they don't accept it?" Fugaku Uchiha asked.

"..." Minato did not answer him, but remained silent for a while, but Fugaku knew what he meant!

After six months of contact, the antagonism between Konoha and Uchiha is not as severe as before. In addition, some extremists have been killed in the 'mission', so it is entirely possible for Konoha and Uchiha to coexist peacefully now!

They originally hoped that this integration could continue for a few more years, making both sides more united. That way, even if they knew that the Uchiha clan would be wiped out due to rebellion in the future, both sides could reflect on their own mistakes!

However, Naruto's memories revealed the truth so quickly that the two had no choice but to take measures to prevent anything bad from happening!

Of course, we can't blame them or Naruto for this. No one expected that the Sage of Six Paths would add the story of the Uchiha clan's annihilation to Naruto's memories!

"Hopefully I can persuade them! Otherwise..." Uchiha Fugaku thought to himself.

The ninja world is now peaceful and harmonious. No one wants war to break out, and the unity of the ninja world is the greatest in history!

If the Uchiha clan were to betray Konoha at this point, there would be no place for the Uchiha in the ninja world. Even if Minato were willing to let them leave, the people of the ninja world would not welcome them!

Don't forget that in the future Minato described, everything was turbulent, and the Uchiha clan was involved or plotting everything.

Akatsuki, the Fourth Shinobi World War, the Eye of the Moon Plan, the Nine-Tails' rampage! Basically, the Uchiha clan brought nothing but war and suffering!

Obito Uchiha, Madara Uchiha, and his own son Sasuke Uchiha—weren't they all enemies of the ninja world?

How could the ninja world possibly like someone like that?

Furthermore, Obito Uchiha clearly sided with the Fourth Hokage. Even if Madara Uchiha were alive, he would be relegated to the status of Gyoki, and he wasn't necessarily an ally of the Uchiha clan! In addition, there were Shisui Uchiha and Itachi Uchiha, two people who clearly did not want the Uchiha to rebel!

Furthermore, Sasuke Uchiha, who will possess the memories of a reborn individual in the future, is unsure whether he will help the Uchiha clan or listen to Naruto Uzumaki and Itachi Uchiha. Therefore, if the Uchiha clan leaves Konoha, their only path will be extinction!

Moreover, the ninja world today is not the same as it used to be. The people of Konoha have begun to accept the Uchiha clan, there is no discrimination or estrangement, and everything is starting to develop in a positive direction. Therefore, Fugaku Uchiha does not want to launch a coup like in the memory sphere!

While Fugaku Uchiha was lost in thought, Obito Uchiha had already led the Uchiha clan members to the Uchiha clan's territory!

Looking at the menacing group below, Fugaku Uchiha sighed.

"Everyone, please sit down first! I know what you want to ask, and I can tell you everything. As for whether it's right or wrong, you can judge for yourselves." Seeing that everyone had arrived at the Uchiha clan's territory, before they could even start questioning him, Minato spoke first!

As the Hokage of Konoha, Minato's prestige was quite high. After hearing Minato's words, the Uchiha clan members began to discuss it. After a moment, everyone obeyed Minato's order and sat down on the ground!

"The story begins with the war between the First Hokage and Madara Uchiha..." Minato began to explain once everyone was seated.

From the war between the First Hokage and Madara Uchiha, to the policies of the Second Hokage, the Nine-Tails' attack, Itachi Uchiha's massacre of the Uchiha clan, the Fourth Shinobi World War, and the final battle between Sasuke Uchiha and Uzumaki, Minato told the Uchiha clan everything without holding back!

Upon hearing all this, the Uchiha were shocked! They hadn't expected that their previous work had been deliberately arranged by the Second Hokage, and they certainly hadn't realized that their own clan had become the root of chaos in the ninja world. Was the Second Hokage prescient, or did he lead the Uchiha clan to their doom?

"Is this...is this really the future?" a member of the Uchiha clan asked in astonishment!

“Yes, this was originally the future of the ninja world!” Minato said!

"Why? We also made great contributions to the establishment of Konoha, why is the Second Hokage treating us like this?" A member of the Uchiha clan couldn't accept it and asked angrily!

"The Sharingan of the Uchiha clan originates from love, but this love can sometimes be very narrow-minded. If one is not careful, problems will arise, and many things in the future have proven this point," said Fugaku Uchiha.

He knew the problems of the Uchiha clan better than anyone, but there was nothing he could do to change them!

Upon hearing this, some people looked thoughtfully at Uchiha Obito!

Obito Uchiha didn't say anything; having already come to his senses, he no longer cared about these trivial matters!

"Naruto has survived all those hateful looks for so many years, can't I even accept something like this?" Obito Uchiha thought to himself.

"Are we just going to be wiped out like this?" some members of the Uchiha clan said unwillingly!

"Of course not. In the future, after the Fourth Shinobi World War, people have begun to change! They no longer view the shinobi world with a narrow perspective, but hope that the shinobi world can develop better so that everyone can live in peace, including the Uchiha clan!" Minato said with some excitement.

"So what should we do?" someone asked!

“It’s very simple. Get along well with the people in the village. In the future, people from Konoha’s schools will go to villages inhabited by civilians in various ways to help them free of charge and reduce their hostility towards ninjas. I hope that the Uchiha clan members can participate and go to the ninja world to see more of it,” Minato said.

"Can this really change the Uchiha clan?" Some people didn't believe it!

"Of course, that's not all. There's still a long road ahead, and how to do it specifically is a question that all members of the Uchiha clan need to consider. What we can do is build a platform so that everyone can understand the Uchiha clan!" Minato said.

"Why should we befriend them? We are stronger than them; they should be the ones befriending us!" said a somewhat extreme Uchiha clansman.

"It is precisely because we are stronger than them that they feel only fear, awe, and dread towards us!" Minato said.

"But this is not what we want. Ninjas should have a relationship of mutual trust, understanding, and interdependence with civilians! Our economy would collapse without them, and we are there to protect them! So our relationship shouldn't be one where they fear us and live in harmony with us!"

"Then why can't we just go and rule them directly?"

"The living standards of ordinary people are already low. The reward for occupying a village is less than the reward for a mission. Moreover, the population of a village is very small. If we want to occupy a village, we need to send out a large number of ninjas, but the number of ninjas is far less than that of ordinary people! Furthermore, ordinary people have a lot of misunderstandings about us ninjas, so the risk for ninjas stationed there is very high! We also don't have enough manpower for large towns! That's why the First Hokage allowed us to coexist with the Land of Fire!"

Upon hearing Minato's words, the Uchiha clan members began to ponder. Minato, seizing the opportunity, continued:

"Therefore, we have decided to send students from the Ninja Academy to various villages to improve the way the common people perceive us ninjas. I also hope that everyone in the Uchiha clan can participate, and not be narrow-minded in their love for one clan or one person, but open their hearts and love the entire ninja world as a whole."

After hearing Minato's words, the Uchiha clan members remained silent.

"Alright, that's all for now regarding the Uchiha clan. If you have any further objections, please feel free to voice them!" Minato said, looking at the Uchiha clan members.

PS: Originally, I planned to address the Uchiha issue after finishing the battle between Naruto and Sasuke, but then I realized that seeing themselves killed by their own clansmen, the Uchiha wouldn't be likely to obediently watch the video, so I'll deal with the Uchiha issue first!

Chapter 67 Naruto VS Sasuke (Part 1)

In fact, Konoha's policy towards the Uchiha clan was quite simple: to integrate them more fully into the development of the ninja world.

Sometimes, encounters between people can create something special, whether it's love, friendship, or a mentor-student relationship! These feelings often influence a person's decisions!

Following the Second Hokage's orders, the Uchiha clan had been distancing themselves from Konoha. Because they hadn't been in contact with other people, the most important people in their lives were the villagers! Therefore, their love was very narrow-minded. However, Minato's methods allowed them to break out of this narrow world and enrich their emotional lives! People like Itachi and Shisui, who were born confined to their clan, were a minority; most lived only in their own little worlds!

For example, during a mission, members of the Uchiha clan develop bonds with other team members. When they want to launch a coup, will they consider the feelings of their comrades? If more people consider this issue, then the Uchiha clan's coup will never be able to happen!

Just like Uchiha Sasuke, he didn't end up like Uchiha Madara, abandoned by everyone, and was able to turn back in time. That was also the result of this kind of encounter!

That's why the top management of the timber company made this decision.

After saying everything he needed to say, Minato left the Uchiha clan compound alone, while Fugaku and Obito remained there. The ANBU monitoring team was also withdrawn by Minato. With Obito present, the ANBU were merely for show; Obito would handle any situation that arose. Minato had great confidence in his student.

When Minato returned to the Hokage Building, the video had already shown Naruto and Sasuke fighting one-on-one!

Sasuke Uchiha, wielding his "Chidori" attack, showed no mercy, unleashing his ultimate move right from the start.

"Idiot, I'll beat you up, and I'll drag you back even if I have to!" Naruto saw that he couldn't persuade Uchiha Sasuke, so he had no choice but to resort to force!

Sasuke used Chidori with his "Rasengan," leaving Naruto with no choice but to use his own ultimate move to fight back!

The Rasengan and Chidori collided, and the lake water immediately formed a huge circle around them.

“It’s not meaningless. To me, you are my best friend.” Naruto recalled what Sasuke had just said.

"That Sasuke actually said it out loud, so I need to use the Rasengan to confirm it," he silently told himself.

Moments later, the explosion from the collision of Chidori and Rasengan sent the two flying.

The screen then switched to a graduation photo of Class 7, but the photo was quickly burned!

"Damn it, how could it block my full-power Chidori to this bottom?! That technique!!" Uchiha Sasuke was the first to climb out of the lake, panting as he thought, "From that loser, Naruto..."

At this moment, Naruto Uzumaki also surfaced. Clearly, the impact had caused him considerable damage!

Sasuke stared at Naruto floating on the water, his red Sharingan filled with rage: "Damn it, we can't waste our energy like this. If we keep attacking each other like before, it's all pointless!"

At this moment, Naruto gazed at the sky with a sorrowful expression. "I'm absolutely certain now, you really... really want to kill me, Sasuke!"

He stood up while thinking about it.

"Use fast-paced techniques and ninjutsu to create openings, then attack with Chidori."

At this moment, Sasuke ignored the grieving Naruto and was thinking about how to kill him!

"You know what, Naruto? If we're both excellent ninjas, just one fight is enough for us to see right through each other!" As he spoke, Sasuke Uchiha entered his Cursed Seal form. "Even if you don't say it, you're still naive, Naruto! So, have you really understood my heart?"

He began rapidly forming hand seals: "Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique"

Seeing Sasuke's attack coming, Naruto hurriedly jumped away, but Uchiha Sasuke was faster and caught up with Naruto, kicking Naruto away with one kick!

"Sasuke, I know you're always alone. When I first found out there were others like me, I was really happy, so very happy. Actually, I really wanted to talk to you soon." Naruto, who had been kicked away, thought back to his childhood: "But I never got to talk to you! You can do everything! And everyone always adores you."

While Naruto was recalling the events, Sasuke Uchiha didn't stop attacking, and went up to deliver a follow-up punch.

"You and I are really quite different. I'm very unwilling to accept this, so I consider you my rival. I don't want to lose to you. It's precisely because I'm called the bottom of the class that I feel even more... After becoming a member of Team 7 with you, the situation has remained the same all along. I can't express my true feelings because I'm trying to be strong."

Sasuke's attack didn't interrupt Naruto's thoughts. He continued, "Actually, I really want to become someone like you. You're the person I admire, so when I knew you were going to fight me, I was really happy! Because that was the first thing you said that proved you acknowledged me."
