Chapter 215: Chapter 215: Naka Shrine
"Itachi..."
"Sasuke is here too!"
Just as Yu left, a gust of wind blew through the woods.
Shisui's figure had already appeared in front of Itachi and Sasuke, his gaze somewhat playful as he looked at Sasuke, who was glaring at him with hostility.
"What's wrong?"
But just as he was about to jokingly address Sasuke, the proud little brother, Shisui noticed that Itachi's expression was somewhat off.
"Yakushi Yu was here just now."
Itachi said quietly, a rare hint of seriousness creeping into his usually calm demeanor.
"Yu?"
At the mention of Yu, Shisui was momentarily stunned, but then his expression changed abruptly. "Are you saying... could it be that Hokage-sama and the Konoha Elders are planning to take action against the Uchiha Clan?!"
"Hokage-sama and the Konoha Elders are already aware of the recent plans of the Uchiha Clan to instigate a coup. Given the current situation, it is indeed very likely."
Feeling the change in Shisui's expression, Itachi's already somber gaze became even more serious. "Yakushi Yu is the disciple of Third Hokage-sama. If he also intervenes, the Uchiha Clan stands no chance."
"Oh no! We must stop them before things escalate!"
After hearing Itachi's words, a heavy gleam appeared in Shisui's crimson eyes. "Even if I have to use my Kotoamatsukami... we must change their minds!"
Swish!!
With those words, paying no attention to the bewildered Sasuke beside him, Shisui and Itachi disappeared in an instant.
"Hey! Brother! Damn it... leaving me behind again!"
Seeing his brother being taken away by Shisui again, Sasuke was left alone in the vast forest, complaining to himself.
...
"This should be Naka Shrine, right?"
Downstream of the Naka River, within the ancient and majestic ancestral temple of the Uchiha Clan.
The previously calm air suddenly turned into a transparent circular gate, and from inside emerged a white-haired, black-clothed youth.
"One, two, three, beneath the seventh tatami mat..."
"So that's how it is. It seems that Sharingan's visual prowess is necessary to open it."
With precise Observation Haki, Yu skillfully avoided every Uchiha Ninja around him. He looked at the massive stone slab beneath his feet, prominently inscribed with a black cross-shaped jutsu, with a Sharingan emblem in the center.
"But this doesn't pose a challenge to me..."
"In the face of Kaio's abilities, any barrier is just an illusion."
Although no method other than the visual prowess of Sharingan could open the stone slab of Naka Shrine, Yu's expression remained unchanged. Activating the power of the Kaio Door Door Fruit, his figure disappeared once again into thin air.
At the same time, beneath the stone slab of Naka Shrine...
Under the dim light of several oil lamps, all the elite ninjas of the Uchiha Clan had gathered here for the meeting.
"Is everyone here?"
Kneeling in the main seat, Uchiha Fugaku, the head of the Uchiha Clan, scanned the crowd before him and asked.
"Everyone is here, except..."
A Uchiha ninja responded, furrowing his brows slightly before adding, "Except for Shisui and Itachi."
"Those two... forget about them."
Hearing this, Uchiha Fugaku frowned, seeming to excuse the absence of Shisui and Itachi, but hiding a subtle sense of helplessness behind his words. "They are both in the ANBU and have many missions. We don't need to wait for them."
"The current situation is very grim!"
Looking up at the Uchiha crowd in front of him, Fugaku's expression grew somber. "The Konoha Elders completely rejected our request to return to the village! It seems they intend to completely exclude our Uchiha Clan from the center of power in Konoha!"
"It's ridiculous! Konoha was originally founded by our Uchiha Clan and the Senju Clan working together!"
"But now we can't even speak up or give orders, and we're being marginalized to the corner of the village?"
Just as Fugaku finished speaking, a Uchiha jonin present spoke up, none other than Uchiha Fuma, who had been severely reprimanded by Yu two years ago.
However, what he said was indeed true. Initially, it was the Uchiha Clan and the Senju Clan who joined forces to create Konoha. However, after the Nine-Tails incident, so many people cast suspicious glances at them, and the entire Uchiha Clan was pushed out of the center of power in Konoha. How could these Uchiha ninjas who had always considered themselves elites tolerate this?
"In this situation, negotiations are meaningless!"
"Konoha won't give us the status and respect we deserve. We can only take what rightfully belongs to us, the rights and glory that should be ours, with our own hands!"
Not only Uchiha Fuma but also the majority of Uchiha ninjas present, represented by him, voiced their support for more aggressive measures.
"So, is everyone suggesting... to launch a coup?"
Facing the group of impassioned Uchiha ninjas in front of him, clan head Fugaku spoke in a deep voice.
As his words fell, the entire conference room fell silent, everyone considering the weight of the term Fugaku had just used!
"At this point, there's no other option!"
"If we wait any longer, we don't know what methods the Konoha Elders will come up with to suppress the Uchiha Clan. We must act first!"
Uchiha Fugaku remained silent with closed eyes. After a long while, he finally slowly opened his eyes, his sharp gaze scanning the people present. "I know many in the clan harbor resentment towards the village. Pushed to the limit, they are capable of anything, and casualties will surely be heavy on both sides."
"So, if we add Shisui to our ranks, we can catch the Konoha Elders off guard and control them all. Although small-scale battles may be unavoidable..."
"But as long as Itachi, who is in the ANBU, collaborates with us from within, this bloodless revolution can succeed!"
As Uchiha Fugaku said, after the Third Great Ninja War, Konoha had suffered the Nine-Tails incident and the sacrifice of the Fourth Hokage, leaving it weakened. The Uchiha Clan's ninjas were known for their elite status.
"He, along with Shisui, already has two Mangekyo Sharingan users. If we add Itachi, who is in Konoha ANBU, to the mix, the Uchiha Clan indeed has a chance to seize power successfully, and he can smoothly ascend to the throne of Konoha's Hokage."
"A bloodless revolution? Clan Head Fugaku, is that really how you see it?"
However, at that moment, the sudden sound from behind startled all the Uchiha ninjas present.
"You are... Scarlet Yu?!"
Facing Uchiha Fugaku and the others, the arrival of the handsome white-haired youth from thin air shocked them all.
"Is it you?!"
At the same time, among all the turned Uchiha, Uchiha Fuma was the first to recognize the youth who appeared out of nowhere. A trace of shock and resentment flashed in his crimson Sharingan.
This was the Naka Shrine, the secret gathering place of the Uchiha Clan... How did this guy without Sharingan manage to get in?!
