After Fugaku accepted the Hokage's proposal, the entire clan was divided into two groups. One group supported Fugaku's decision and believed that this was an opportunity to reconcile with the Leaf Village.
Not everyone in this faction believes that the conflict with Konoha will be resolved because of this, but they believe that it is not suitable to fight head-on with Konoha Village now and that they need time to "grow".
The opposition believes that the Uchiha clan does not even have a chance to oppose.
The two groups frequently quarreled, which made Sasuke feel disgusted.
"Is father back?" Sasuke asked when he returned home and saw his mother alone.
"No. It will probably be very late... the meal is already ready, would you like to eat first?"
Sasuke really wanted to know what his mother thought about this matter, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them.
Even if asked, she wouldn’t tell.
Sasuke took a few bites of rice into his mouth and went back to the house to sleep.
He didn't know how long it took, but he heard voices outside in a daze. He reluctantly opened his eyes and listened carefully. It was his father's voice. He immediately climbed out of the bed, tiptoed out of the room, came to the outside of the living room, and knelt on the ground.
, ears pressed against the wall.
"...How is it? What did the Hokage say?"
"It's not the Hokage's wish for me to meet Ebizo, but Jiraiya's wish," Fugaku said.
"He? Why did he do what he did?"
"The clan has always said that the Kazekage was not killed by the Uchiha clan. Since this is the claim, then, in front of the rightful owner, not only should there be evidence, but at least there should be some excuse? Otherwise, how can we clear ourselves of the charges?" Fugaku explained
.
"But... this is impossible. We have no evidence at all."
"You have to take it even if you can't get it, this is one of the few opportunities... Konoha Village already doesn't trust the Uchiha clan. And I, as you can see, at this point, I am almost a failed clan leader... Below
People kept resisting, and they pushed me forward, and it was difficult for me to turn back. This is one of the few opportunities, if I can't seize it... Do you believe it? I have already seen the demise of the Uchiha clan..."
Fugaku said.
"Destruction..." Sasuke muttered to himself and took a deep breath subconsciously.
"Who's out there?!"
Sasuke stood up quickly, not caring to cover up the sound of footsteps, and quickly returned to bed. However, his mind was in a mess, and he kept thinking about what Fugaku had just said, and tears flowed out involuntarily.
"It's Sasuke..."
"Um."
"He just heard..."
"Ninjas will eventually have to face death, whether they are witnessing the death of their loved ones or facing the arrival of that moment themselves. He should also think about this matter."
"If Itachi was still here..."
"Don't mention him." Fugaku interrupted his wife, "If it weren't for him, how could we be in such a hurry? We didn't even have time to resist the Leaf Village."
The wife said nothing and lowered her head silently.
Fugaku drank a glass of sake, but his mood became worse and worse.
He has to face a choice.
Although we don't know what Naruto's purpose is, the ninjas of the Uchiha clan shouldered the safety of the "Five Shadows" in the "Five Shadows Talk". Does this mean that they can kill all the "Five Shadows" in one fell swoop?
Considering the strength gap between the two sides, even if the Uchiha clan comes out in full force, they may not be able to kill the "Five Shadows" in a short time. In this way, the Uchiha clan will face the siege of the five major ninja villages, and the entire ninja clan will be surrounded.
There will no longer be a place in the world where the Uchiha clan can stay.
However, if the "response meeting" ends successfully, how will the Hokage view him?
Sad——
Fugaku drank a glass of wine suddenly, and his mood became more and more depressed.
Just when Fugaku was in trouble, on a rooftop not far away, a man was sitting on the ridge, looking at the shadows illuminated by the light.
"Why don't you go and talk to your father?"
"What's there to say?" Itachi looked at Kisame.
"You still have relatives, don't you miss them? Your parents, your brother, they all miss you, right?"
"My father and mother don't know how to do it. As for my brother...do you dare to touch him?" Itachi asked.
"I don't want to kill a child? It's boring." Kisame shrugged, "I wonder what little genius came up with the idea of letting the ninjas of the Uchiha clan be responsible for the security of the 'Five Shadows Conference', aren't you afraid of their rebellion?
"
"How can it be so simple? Are you free of charge as the leader of those ninja villages? Moreover, the Uchiha clan is not as powerful as you think." Itachi shook his head, "And, do you believe it? As long as the Uchiha clan dares
If you make small moves, there is a high risk of genocide."
"Are you feeling sorry?"
"After all, they are my tribe."
"Two days from now, they might be the talk of the village."
"It has nothing to do with me, but if you dare to attack Sasuke..."
"Can he still survive in Konoha Village?" Kisame suddenly asked, "If the Uchiha clan betrays, will Konoha Village allow him to survive?"
"How is that possible?" Itachi shook his head, "I have gone back now."
"In two days, everything will change."
Itachi shook his head and said no more.
…
The leaders of the five major ninja villages made their own arrangements after the expiration date. The purpose, without exception, was for each other's safety.
Konoha Village was also extremely nervous. The Hyuga clan sent thirty members to check the surrounding area of the meeting place to rule out anything suspicious. On the day before the Five Kage Talks began, the backbone ninjas of the Uchiha clan took over and were responsible for the security of the meeting place.
Jiraiya followed Yusuke's reminder and hid in a nearby big tree to monitor the whereabouts of the Uchiha clan.
The Five Kage Talks were held at three o'clock in the afternoon. The location was a huge wooden building outside the bustling streets of Konoha Village. In order to ensure safety, the Uchiha clan selected two hundred ninjas to be responsible for the security of the entire meeting place.
Around two o'clock in the afternoon, Hidden Cloud Village was the first to arrive. Raikage only brought Samui with him.
Afterwards, Terumi Mei and Yusuke came to the venue.
Yusuke's status is rather special. He is not Terumi Mei's follower, but a person invited by the Hokage. Therefore, his status is similar to Terumi Mei's.
When he was about to enter the venue, Yusuke saw Fugaku standing at the door of the venue, and he felt a sense of expectation in his heart.
It won't be long before the people from Sunagakure Village are coming. I wonder how Fugaku will face them?
Entering the venue, Raikage had already sat down in advance. Seeing Yusuke and Mei Terumi come in, he moved his chair slightly without standing up. He was slightly surprised to see Yusuke also pulling up a chair to sit down: "An extra chair.
Is the chair yours?"
"Otherwise, why would there be extra chairs?" Yusuke asked.
"I underestimated you." Lei Ying nodded slightly, with a half-smile on his face.
"Don't worry, there will definitely only be benefits for me sitting here." Yusuke said with a smile.
"Then I'll watch your 'performance'."
Yusuke nodded slightly and smiled without saying a word.
