The decline of the Uchiha clan was inevitable.

The village of Konoha was founded by Madara Uchiha, the ancestor of the Senju clan, and Hashirama Senju, the god of ninja. Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju died in the battle at the Valley of the End.

From that day forward, the entire Uchiha clan was branded as traitors in the eyes of the Hokage's faction in Konoha.

The era of Hashirama Senju, the Hokage and God of Shinobi, was relatively easy to discuss.

However, by the time of the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, the younger brother of Hashirama Senju, the situation had begun to become clearer, and various forms of suppression against the Uchiha clan slowly surfaced.

At first, the Uchiha clan did not react.

However, as time passed, some insightful individuals emerged within the Uchiha clan. But the overall situation was already set, and even if the Uchiha realized what was happening, they would have no power to retaliate.

Faced with Tobirama Senju, the Second Hokage who was almost comparable to the first Hokage, Hashirama Senju, the Uchiha clan could only lower their noble heads, despite their noble lineage.

After the death of the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, seemed to inherit the prejudice that had always existed and continued to suppress the people. All of this was done slowly and subtly.

It wasn't until after the Nine-Tails' attack that the Uchiha clan, a prestigious family in Konoha, truly moved its territory from the village's center to its current location on the village's periphery. The purpose of this action was quite clear.

But there was a reason for it.

The fact that the Nine-Tails was controlled by the Mangekyou Sharingan was the key reason why the Uchiha clan could not refute it convincingly, so they compromised once again.

Even today, outsiders may not know, but the Uchiha clan is perfectly clear that the Nine-Tails' rampage has absolutely nothing to do with the Uchiha's high-ranking members.

Even if it's related to a few members of the Uchiha clan, do you really think Hiruzen Sarutobi and the rest of the village didn't know the reason behind it?

During the Nine-Tails' rampage, many Uchiha also died.

If they really did it, was it necessary to go to such lengths?

But today, at this very moment—

Accompanied by the earth-shattering shout of Uchiha clan leader Uchiha Fugaku.

He changed his previous indecisive and cowardly behavior, which immediately gave a lot of people in his tribe a long-lost hope.

Perhaps the Uchiha clan still has a chance to revive.

"What exactly have all these concessions salvaged?"

At the very front center of the shrine, Uchiha Fugaku's eyes were filled with sorrow, his grief concealing anger. Once this anger was ignited, it would be like the fire of Konoha, capable of connecting heaven and earth and turning everything into ruins.

At this moment, the leaders of various factions, Uchiha Setsuna, the leader of the Uchiha hawk faction, and a group of senior members of the Uchiha clan: Uchiha Tekka, Uchiha Inahi, Uchiha Hachidai, and other elite members, all the backbone of the Uchiha clan, all had their eyes burning with excitement, their hearts trembling with each word Uchiha Fugaku spoke.

The Uchiha clan has been too afraid to speak out for too long, and now, they either erupt in anger or perish in silence.

Fugaku Uchiha slowly stood up at some point.

His eyes swept over the crowd, but no one felt the slightest fear from his gaze. Instead, they felt a deep resonance within them, a resonance that had long been buried in the hearts of the Uchiha clan.

"We Uchiha love Konoha, we fear its demise, but if we love Konoha, who loves us?"

"Does the Uchiha clan deserve to die?"

At this moment, Uchiha Fugaku, this honest man, completely erupted. Beneath his fierce gaze lay a lion that had been sleeping for far too long, ready to lead his clan.

They carved out their own territory within this vast "primeval forest".

"Chief, give the order! We've rebelled! We've completely rebelled!"

"For so many years, we Uchiha have devoted ourselves to Konoha, working tirelessly until our dying breath. Are the Hokage's faction and all the ninjas in the village blind? Can't they see that?"

"How many Uchiha died in the Second and Third Shinobi World Wars? If not for the village, were they also for ourselves?"

"Clan leader, we Uchiha absolutely cannot continue to compromise like this, otherwise our Uchiha clan will surely perish in the future."

bang bang bang! ! !

The resounding sound of a fist slamming into the ground rang out; it was Uchiha Setsuna, the leader of the hawkish faction.

His sharp, hawk-like eyes gleamed with a keen light, and his voice was steady and powerful: "Silence! Everything will be done according to the clan chief's arrangements."

It must be said that today's Uchiha Fugaku surprised this old man, so he was willing to lead the hawks to temporarily obey orders.

Uchiha Setsuna's words were quite intimidating. Before long, the shrine returned to peace, but this was only the calm before the storm.

The fire within the Uchiha clan has been ignited, and it can no longer be extinguished as easily as it once was.

Either we return victorious, or we perish together.

The word "surrender" has never existed in the dictionary of the Uchiha clan.

"From this day forward, the barrier technique within the Uchiha clan's territory will be changed every three days. We can no longer continue to be as open and honest as we are in the village."

"In addition, we will strengthen clan training, dedicate most of the clan's resources to cultivating clan members, continue to steadily enhance our strength, and be prepared to fight against other villages at any time."

Fugaku Uchiha took a deep breath, his eyes filled with determination.

His calm gaze was like an abyss as he surveyed the surroundings, silently scanning all the clansmen within the shrine. "We, the Uchiha clan, love peace, but we are never lacking in the courage to fight to the death!"

"Yes, Chieftain."

"Yes, Chieftain."

"..."

Shouts suddenly rang out like thunder, instantly igniting the atmosphere of the family meeting inside the shrine to an unprecedented climax.

Even the former leader of the dove faction, Shin Uchiha, along with his clansmen, were gradually influenced and couldn't help but join in.

This is simply because the charisma of Fugaku Uchiha, the head of the Uchiha clan, is simply too strong and too great today.

For them, whether they were hawks or doves, Fugaku Uchiha's words were not a matter of discussion, but an order.

This is the responsibility that a leader of the Uchiha clan should have.

The clansmen inside the shrine gradually dispersed.

As Uchiha Shisui, his expression growing increasingly complex, prepared to leave with the flow of people, he suddenly heard the voice of the clan head, Uchiha Fugaku: "Shisui, come with me!"

……

Inside the Hokage's office building, the person who came to deliver the documents was none other than the eldest son of the Uchiha clan's patriarch.

Uchiha Itachi.

The "political correctness" that Lin Chuanhe had just mentioned suddenly seemed to lose its effect at this moment, and the ordinary civil servants in the office building were all very hospitable, each one more proactive than the last.
