Naruto: This Uchiha is too Evil - Chapter 8
With so many prominent Uchiha figures gathered here, all the available forces of the Uchiha clan were present. There was no place safer than this. The big figures also wanted first-hand information about the situation, including the two’s injuries and the investigation results.
Moreover, they had an additional concern: would they be safe at the hospital within the clan’s territory if they could be attacked here? It was better to treat them on the spot. At least here, they had their protection.
Members of the Konoha Police Force began a more detailed investigation of the area. Seeing the state Shisui and Itsuki were in, almost all the Uchiha were enraged, their Sharingan involuntarily appearing in their eyes. This included the Uchiha, who Itsuki had taught a lesson.
Eye-gouging!
For the Uchiha, this was unforgivable.
It was an absolute taboo!
Although the Uchiha clan did not have the Caged Bird Seal like the Hyuga, their eye protection was no less strict.
The Mist Village has a Byakugan, but have you ever seen anyone with a Sharingan?
The cold killing intent spread, freezing the very air.
At this moment, the Uchiha were like a volcano, ready to erupt!
“Damn it, damn it!”
Uchiha Souji, the representative of the doves, had a ferocious expression. He was an elder of the same generation as Uchiha Setsuna, having once followed Uchiha Madara, two generations above Uchiha Fugaku. Normally, he leaned towards a conciliatory policy. At one point, he even believed that the Uchiha’s power was too strong, so the village targeted them. Therefore, he suggested reducing the Konoha Police Force’s influence.
At this moment, this usually peaceful elder exploded with astonishing killing intent, making Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Setsuna turn to look.
He was furious to the extreme.
Shisui and Itsuki were the descendants of Kagami Uchiha.
Kagami was a disciple of the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, who had said that Kagami had transcended the narrow-minded thinking of “the clan.” The Second Hokage highly trusted him and significantly contributed to Konoha’s development.
He was a hero of Konoha!
All recognize it!
He was one of the few in the Uchiha clan acknowledged by Konoha.
Even the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and the Shadow of the Shinobi, Danzo, recognized Kagami.
Most doves idolized Kagami Uchiha, centering their ideology around his beliefs and trying to integrate the clan into the village for mutual coexistence.
To be useful to the village, not just the clan.
Shisui and Itsuki were not only Kagami’s descendants but, in Souji’s eyes, the inheritors of Kagami’s will.
Shisui didn’t need much explanation.
Itsuki, although playful, had repeatedly stopped the hawkish Uchiha from causing trouble.
For this, he didn’t hesitate to fight them.
Many hawkish members of the Uchiha were both angry and fearful of Itsuki. Why?
Because he beat them up!
He also frequently took care of Konoha orphans.
They especially hated killing!
Even during wartime, he avoided killing as much as possible!
These actions reflected Itsuki’s true nature.
Now, their core members!
The children they watched grow up!
The most talented new generation in the Uchiha clan!
They were severely injured and had their eyes gouged out in the core area of the clan!
This was a challenge to the entire Uchiha clan’s bottom line.
It was also destroying Uchiha Souji’s sanity!
Souji turned his cold gaze to Uchiha Setsuna.
They were both old.
The Hawks had no successors!
The doves had two!
Did you do this?
“Hmph!” Uchiha Setsuna snorted coldly, “Souji, stop staring at me. I wouldn’t do such a thing.”
“You better not have!” Souji said each word distinctly, “Or I will show you the wrath of us so-called doves!”
Among the three factions within the Uchiha, the doves were not weak.
Their dislike of fighting was a personality trait unrelated to their strength.
Setsuna sneered, “Wrath? You’ve been tame for so long, do you even remember what fighting feels like? Can you still hold a kunai, you domesticated doves?”
“Elder Setsuna! Elder Souji!” Fugaku’s sharp gaze and stern voice interrupted, “Do not speak carelessly.”
This was different from the meeting hall.
Nor the Naka Shrine!
There were too many people around.
If the two elders quarreled here, it would be a spectacle.
In their anger, who knows what they might say.
Unfortunately, the clan leader’s authority was ineffective at this moment.
Uchiha Setsuna was naturally crazy, doing things recklessly.
He had even once rebelled against Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Of course, he failed.
In the end!
Hiruzen Sarutobi didn’t even harm him; he stared at him coldly for a while, letting him live and continue causing trouble.
One must admit, the young Hiruzen Sarutobi indeed had some heroic spirit.
Uchiha Setsuna saw this as a great humiliation.
He wasn’t afraid of death but couldn’t tolerate such humiliation!
He was a proud Uchiha!
So!
His character became even more extreme!
The hawks’ actions and words became more radical. They tried multiple times to start a war to regain the Uchiha’s rightful place in Konoha.
In the past, Fugaku and Souji had to join forces to suppress him.
Who are you to silence me?
You prefer to live a cowardly life, but he doesn’t!
Setsuna glanced coldly at Fugaku, mockingly smiling. “The clan leader has started silencing people. Next time, will you seal off the old man’s house?”
Souji also said coldly, “Clan leader, what did I say that was careless? I just want the truth!”
“If Elder Setsuna didn’t do it, then he didn’t.”
“If he did…”
The Sharingan spun in his eye sockets.
Setsuna grinned.
Good!
That’s exactly what he wanted!
He had long been displeased with the doves’ actions, and a confrontation was just what he sought.
Just to break the current structure of the Uchiha.
Fugaku’s face turned ugly.
These two stubborn older men were losing their tempers.
Can’t you consider the situation?
The Uchiha clan was already chaotic enough, and now this happened. Instead of helping, could you at least not add to the chaos?
“It probably wasn’t Elder Setsuna.”
A voice suddenly interrupted.
Everyone turned to look, frowning slightly.
“Muto? What do you know?”
Fugaku’s expression was indifferent.
The speaker was a handsome young Uchiha, about twenty-six or twenty-seven, with the vitality of youth.
And if he remembered correctly, he had a good relationship with Itsuki, who often spoke on his behalf.
Uchiha Muto was a somewhat famous genius within the Uchiha clan.
He had awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan at a young age and became a jonin.
He wouldn’t dare to interrupt the clan leader and elders if he weren’t a join.
Uchiha Muto hesitated, “Itsuki is very strong. As far as I know, many Uchiha jonin are either on missions or patrols. The number of jonin Elder Setsuna can mobilize, including himself, is less than five.”
Everyone was stunned.
“What do you mean?” Setsuna glared at Muto, laughing angrily, “Are you saying that even with five jonin, I can’t handle Uchiha Itsuki?”
Damn it!
Do you know how many wars he had experienced?
He had even followed Uchiha Madara to fight the Senju clan head-on!
Itsuki had good skills and great talent, but in Setsuna’s eyes, he was still too young.
And with five Jonin…
Damn it, do you know those are Uchiha Jonin!
Not just regular Jonin from other Konoha clans!
Uchiha jonin could easily handle two regular Konoha jonin.
Uchiha Itachi, who had been tending to Shisui and Itsuki, seemed to realize something, his expression shocked.
He opened his mouth to scold but couldn’t stop it in time.
“Yes!” Uchiha Muto hesitantly said, “The clan leader and elders might not know, but I have a good relationship with Itsuki and know some of his secrets. Itsuki has awakened a special Sharingan beyond the three-tomoe, the Mangekyo!”
“What did you say?!”
Several loud shouts erupted simultaneously.
All eyes turned to him.
The atmosphere reached a new level of tension.
Uchiha Itachi’s heart sank to the bottom.
This time, something truly catastrophic was about to happen.
