The peace faction of the Uchiha clan has always advocated taking the initiative to integrate into the village and deal with good relations with the higher-ups, lower-level ninjas, and even the villagers of Konoha. The overall political tendency is relatively moderate, unwilling to use force to solve problems, and emphasizes that all conflicts can be resolved.
Communicate and resolve.
The reactionaries of the Uchiha clan have always believed that the high-level officials of Konoha are targeting Uchiha. Their ideal is to rely on their own hands, that is, to rely on force to get everything they deserve, such as power, status, and the glory of Uchiha.
etc.
Fugaku was originally neither a pacifist nor a reactionary. If you insist on saying so, he should be regarded as a neutralist. He means giving in when it is time to give in and fighting when it is time to fight. This kind of thinking is also the mainstream thought in the Uchiha clan, and its audience is probably the entire group.
More than half of the ethnic group.
But this situation changed after Lei Luo, the fourth-generation Hokage with an extremely domineering style, came to power:
Because he clearly saw the essential difference between Lei Luo and Sarutobi Hiruzen, and realized that the fourth generation and the first three generations of Hokage were not the same people at all, Fugaku's choice was to move closer to the new Hokage system and find a way out for the Uchiha clan.
.
After three years of hard work, pinching his nose, and constantly contacting Lei Luo, the Konoha Juekage who he had avoided before, Fugaku was rewarded, but at the cost of the rapid increase in reactionary forces within the Uchiha clan.
Originally, Lei Luo kept beating Uchiha and dealt with those Uchiha tribesmen who were arrogant and unwilling to get along with the villagers of Konoha without mercy. This would naturally arouse Uchiha's resistance. No matter how hard Fugaku worked, it would not work.
Very little.
But now that the choice has been made, and Lei Luo has always been particularly generous to his obedient subordinates, Fugaku has no other choice but to go all the way:
After all, for a hawkish Hokage who made his fortune through a coup, if the Uchiha clan dares to be dishonest and change their ways rashly, their future will be very worrying.
Fortunately, persistence finally paid off. His outstanding performance in the May 26th Incident could be said to have allowed Fugaku to leap over the dragon gate and completely see the dawn of victory.
Therefore, the reactionary forces within the Uchiha clan seem to be an eyesore today. The best way to deal with them is to expel them from the Uchiha clan and indirectly complete the deal with Lei Luo.
Fugaku knew that if he continued to break up, he would be subject to chaos, so for his own ideals and purposes, and for the future of the Uchiha clan, he convened today's clan meeting and invited many core figures from the reactionaries.
As mentioned before, the best solution is to expel these idiots who cannot see the situation clearly from the Uchiha clan. In this way, they can at least save their lives, and he, the clan leader, does not have to continue to stain his hands with the blood of his clan members.
But how can things in this world be as perfect as people want them to be?
Listening to the reactionary leaders with the most extreme ideas saying that they wanted to seize power and usurp the throne, and even dared to question the authority of him as the clan leader on impulse, Fugaku understood that he had no choice, and the Uchiha clan had no choice either.
On one side is a prosperous road, on the other side is a doomed one.
The choice was already clear, so Fugaku decided to take action decisively and shot some of the pig heads present who were completely hopeless to death on the spot.
Fugaku didn't want to harm his clan, but he didn't want to be harmed by his clan. Before he was officially promoted to the leader of the clan and moved the clan to the center of the village, Uchiha must stick to his position and make the whole clan loyal to Hokage.
It's that simple.
For this reason, he will kill anyone who dares to quarrel with him.
Half a minute passed, and the short killing was over. Looking at the corpses lying on the floor, Fugaku wiped the sticky liquid on his face, threw away the kunai, and smashed it on the ground to make a clanging sound.
Voice.
The smell of blood and feces and urine came to the tip of his nose. Fugaku frowned slightly. Remembering that there were still a few living people present, he immediately turned his head and headed towards Uchiha who was sitting with his eyes closed. There were also others who were hiding behind him, so scared.
Several young Uchiha tribesmen who were trembling looked at it.
The breeze blew by, and the wind chimes hanging at the door made a series of tinkling sounds, filling the interior of the ancestral hall with a strange tranquility. The noise stopped, and only a deathly silence enveloped the place.
There are a total of thirty-five tribesmen, including more than half of the reactionary leaders and some Uchiha elders who tend to support the reactionary forces.
Now, all these people have been consecrated, and the only ones left are the Great Elder Uchiha and three Uchiha Jonin of the Great Elder's lineage.
Perhaps because his ears had quieted down, or perhaps he was aware of the gazes on him, Uchiha Yu slowly opened his eyes and looked unblinkingly at the man two meters away who was soaked in blood:
"Clan Chief Fugaku is really resolute, but there is still something unclear about this old man. I wonder if the Clan Chief can clear up the confusion?"
The old voice sounded, and Uchiha Yu's face did not show any strange expression. Even the palms on his knees did not move even half an inch, as if he had anticipated the bloody killing that happened in front of him.
After all, this so-called clan meeting was jointly initiated by the chief elder and the clan leader, but the old man's tone when he spoke at this moment was still filled with a bit of uncontrollable fatigue and sadness.
Along with it, there are also strong doubts that want to seek answers.
Fugaku lowered his head and was silent for a while. The kaleidoscope in his eyes slowly returned to its original state. When he looked at Uchiha Yu again, his pupils had returned to black:
"go ahead."
"The bargaining chip offered by the Hokage is indeed very generous. It is understandable for you, Chief Fugaku, to please him for this, but have you ever thought about it..."
Pointing to the pile of corpses on the ground, Uchiha Yu looked at Fugaku's serious face and slowly asked:
"Completely eliminate the members of our clan who have the spirit of resistance. If one day the Hokage suddenly changes his mind and starts to guard against us Uchiha like the previous generations of Hokage did."
"He even went one step further and attacked our clan in order to gain the power of the Sharingan."
"By then, without these tribesmen who dare to resist, wouldn't our tribe become nothing more than a piece of meat on the chopping board and have no choice but to be slaughtered by the Hokage and his men?"
After listening to Uchiha Yu's words, Fugaku's eyes flickered slightly. Since he had been the clan leader for a long time, he quickly understood what the great elder meant:
To put it simply, thinking concepts, acting styles, interest relationships, and ideals and beliefs are factors that can often distinguish people of all kinds, organize them into groups, and eventually form factions.
This is the case for the doves and hawks of the original Konoha, the original Hokage faction and the Lei Luo group. As a great ninja clan with thousands of people, the Uchiha clan naturally has this situation as well.
