"Shisui, do you know what you are talking about?" Although Fugaku's expression didn't change much, his tone became stiff, "As a member of the Uchiha clan, everything I do now is after careful consideration and clan discussion."
"The Uchiha clan can't be forced anymore, the clan's residence has already moved to the edge of Konohagakure, if this continues, we will even be driven to the suburbs of Konohagakure in the future!"
"Do you want to fight me with this confrontation seal... Shisui, do you want to forcibly take some clan members away?"
"Do you know that your behavior is a betrayal of Uchiha?"
Every time Fugaku said a word.
He took a step forward.
"You can say that as a patriarch, I don't have my own opinions, and you can also say that as a patriarch, I don't have enough prestige in the Uchiha Clan."
"But... I will never do anything to disgrace the Uchiha clan."
"I have a clear conscience!"
Shisui didn't expect that an adult in his thirties could be so naive. Did the other party really think that a coup was so easy?
Even if they could really seize the power of Konohagakure village in one fell swoop.
But as time goes by, will people support them?
Can the Uchiha clan win the hearts of Konohagakure?
Absolutely not!
Shisui knew very well... Once the Uchiha clan successfully seized power, then there would be a Uchiha No. 2, No. 3, No. 4... Once this head is opened, it is an endless rebellion.
And once the seizure of power fails, I'm afraid the entire Uchiha clan will have to be buried for this failed coup.
During the time with the Whitebeard Pirates.
Shisui's thoughts also changed.
His thinking is no longer so twisted.
His thinking has become more straightforward.
Shisui put down the seal of confrontation, he said expressionlessly, "Maybe everyone is very curious, where have I been recently? I joined the Whitebeard Pirates."
He suddenly said this sentence, which made Fugaku and Mikoto both widen their eyes.
"You, joined the Whitebeard Pirates?" This news is even more shocking than Shisui's sudden appearance.
At least Fugaku was shocked.
"Fugaku-san... I'm not talking to you as Uchiha Shisui, I'm talking to you as a member of the Whitebeard Pirates."
Shisui no longer admonishes anything, his tone is unprecedentedly tough.
And it is irresistible: "I hope Fugaku-san can give the Whitebeard Pirates a face, and also give my Pops Edward Newgate a face."
"I want to take away some of the old, weak, women and children. Those who are willing to go with me, I will take them away, those who are not willing to go with me, let them stay."
He raised his head and "looked" at Uchiha Fugaku.
Although Shisui couldn't see anything, he could feel that the "eyes" of both parties were looking at each other.
Shisui could even vaguely feel that after revealing his identity, the head of the Uchiha clan was a bit lacking in confidence.
Shisui didn't know how he felt it.
Anyway, this is a very strange intuition.
"This is not a request."
"This is an order!"
Shisui, who had dropped these words, turned around and left without hesitation.
He won't waste more words with an unqualified family head.
Different paths do not seek each other.
"Eh...?"
"Eh?"
Uchiha Izumi looked left and right, on one side was the head of the Uchiha clan, and on the other side was Brother Shisui.
One advocates turning against Konohagakure and staging a coup.
One advocates protecting the clan members first.
From a rational point of view, as a Genin of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Izumi must stand on the side of the clan.
But Uchiha Izumi can't get rid of her sensibility.
Because she knew very well that Brother Shisui was the right one.
The safety of family members is always paramount!
But the actions of Patriarch Fugaku have put all the people of the entire Uchiha clan in danger.
Including, her own mother!
If there is a 100% certainty, that's fine.
But obviously... from the tone and reaction of this Patriarch, it can be seen.
Fugaku doesn't have that confidence.
Uchiha Izumi's entanglement only lasted for a few seconds.
She bit her lip and directly followed Shisui.
Uchiha Izumi actually understood very well, both Shisui and Fugaku, the clan leader, had not betrayed the Uchiha clan.
It's just that they stand at different angles.
They think about different things.
What they care about is also different.
...
Fugaku did not stop them.
"Whitebeard Pirates..." Looking at the backs of Shisui and Uchiha Izumi, Fugaku's expression was very complicated: "So that's how it is, Shisui... you recognized Whitebeard as your father! So you were in the Whitebeard Pirates during the months you disappeared?"
Fugaku knew that if Shisui forcibly took some weak clansmen away,
it would definitely disrupt the morale of the Uchiha clan's coup.
But when Shisui brought up the Whitebeard Pirates, Fugaku hesitated.
Because the words spoken by Shisui represented not only Uchiha Shisui, but also the Whitebeard Pirates!
Fugaku had the confidence to turn against Shisui, who had lost his eyes for some unknown reason.
But he didn't have the confidence to turn against the Whitebeard Pirates.
"Mikoto, do you think everything I do is for the clan?"
Fugaku suddenly asked Mikoto.
"Of course." Mikoto showed a gentle smile.
"Actually... you don't support me either, do you?" Fugaku turned his head and looked at Uchiha Mikoto: "Because every time there is a clan meeting, you are silent. It forms a stark contrast with other impassioned clansmen."
"Fugaku..."
Mikoto was silent for a few seconds, she just said this sentence: "You are also forced to have no choice, I will stand behind you. Do whatever you want to do, never regret."
"What if... Shisui is right?" Fugaku pondered: "In fact, in your heart, you support Shisui's point of view more, right? After all, Shisui is a pacifist."
"Peace, many people are yearning for it, including me. But, it is also a luxury."
Mikoto was stunned, but did not pick up the conversation.
The two fell into deep silence.
They never said another word.
...
"Brother Shisui, what should we do?" Uchiha Izumi hurriedly followed Shisui, she had no idea what to do.
After all, she is just a Genin of the Uchiha clan.
"Pick up your mother." Shisui thought for a moment and said: "You and I together, go to persuade some of the clansmen in the clan. As long as they are willing to leave the Uchiha clan and join the Whitebeard Pirates with me, let them follow me."
Shisui was a bit tired.
And a bit weary.
He had originally entrusted the peace between the Uchiha clan and Konohagakure to Itachi, but Itachi disappeared without a trace at the critical moment.
In the end, he still had to try his best to save more people.
However, Shisui still held a glimmer of hope for Itachi.
After all, the coup has not officially started yet.
Perhaps at the last moment, Itachi could appear in time to turn the tide?
Perhaps Itachi could end all this completely?
The possibility is still quite large.
"Brother Shisui, what about those who are unwilling?" Uchiha Izumi asked weakly: "They should not be affected, right?"
"...That's also a choice they made themselves." Shisui's silence lasted less than two seconds: "Having lost both Mangekyou, the limit of what I can do is just this."
Good words are hard to persuade the dead.
If there are people who are willing to take risks with the radicals, and even participate in this coup, Shisui can't say much.
As for those outside the Uchiha clan who might be affected...
Shisui has no way.
He is powerless.
...
However, as time passed, what Shisui didn't expect was that these radical ideas had already influenced many clansmen.
Although most of the Uchiha clan are not radicals, they have been brainwashed by radical ideas during this period of time.
And he just remembered that the innate pride of the Uchiha clan comes from the depths of every Uchiha clan's soul.
Most of the clansmen actually believe that if the Uchiha clan launches a coup, then the victors will be their Uchiha clan.
They also believe that they cannot be affected by the war.
The ninjas of Konohagakure cannot kill into the Uchiha clan's residence.
They believe that the clan's ninjas will drive away all foreign enemies.
Shisui fell silent.
"Stop... Brother Shisui." Uchiha Izumi's voice was a bit hoarse, because she had been lobbying everywhere for more than an hour, her face was tinged with bitterness and confusion: "We have already gone to every household in the entire clan's residence."
"The problem is..." Uchiha Izumi looked back, and there were very few clansmen standing on their side behind her, one of whom was her mother.
"Brother Shisui, many people's family members are members of the security team, and the members of the security team are very radical Uchiha ninjas."
Uchiha Izumi said bitterly: "I only have five people here!"
And when she was persuading some clansmen.
She was also scolded as a traitor to the Uchiha clan, and even said that she would notify the security team to arrest her.
Uchiha Izumi was dumbfounded!
Behind Izumi, besides her mother, there are two children under the age of seven who are not enough for the Jonin school among the remaining four people.
The two little kids are Izumi's neighbors and Izumi's little followers.
Uchiha Izumi also hid from their parents and secretly abducted these two little kids.
The other two, one is her good friend, and the other is her friend's mother.
That's all the people.
And the people on her side are all civilians of the Uchiha clan.
Not a ninja.
"...I have seven people here." Shisui sighed.
He touched the black one house after another, and after a lot of persuasion, he could only persuade seven people. Mainly relatives who have a kinship with Shisui, most of them died in the great ninja war, he could only persuade some people he is not very familiar with.
The result is self-evident.
"The identity of 'Shisui of the Body Flicker' is of no use at this moment, Shisui found that his eloquence is far worse than Naruto's.
If he brought Naruto over.
Maybe he could persuade more people?
"....Izumi!" Shisui was determined in his heart: "I found out that I was wrong, we don't need to be so polite."
"Huh?" Izumi was a little surprised.
Just listen to Shisui's shocking words: "We continue to divide our forces, mainly children under the age of seven, including infants! This time it's not persuasion, but directly tying them all up!"
Uchiha Izumi: "!!!"
Tie, tie up?
They just persuaded others, and they have already been threatened to notify the security team. If they go to tie people directly... wouldn't they really be regarded as traitors to the Uchiha clan and then be hunted down by the Uchiha security team?
Uchiha Izumi still wanted to say something more.
But he found that Shisui had acted directly.
"Izumi, we..." Izumi's mother "Uchiha Hazuki" asked, "Are we really going to leave the Uchiha clan?"
"Mom, we have to believe in Brother Shisui!"
Uchiha Izumi took a deep breath, "Itachi-kun once told me that Brother Shisui is the person he admires the most, his judgment will never be wrong, at least we can't stay here tonight."
"Mom, you take them away from the Uchiha clan's residence, Brother Shisui has already communicated with the family, and the clan leader should lift the blockade order of the residence."
Watching the backs of her mother and others leaving.
Uchiha Izumi felt as if a great responsibility had suddenly been pressed on her.
Making her so nervous that she couldn't catch her breath.
That kind of pressure is like a thousand-pound boulder.
"Hoo!" Uchiha Izumi let out a sigh of relief, and the gaze in her eyes gradually became firm, "Transfer the children of the Uchiha clan!"
So...
Uchiha Shisui.
Uchiha Izumi.
A blind man + a Genin, taking advantage of the time when the ninjas in the Uchiha clan's residence were preparing for the clan meeting, they reached out to the children in the Uchiha clan who were not more than seven years old.
Uchiha Izumi knew she was like a heinous human trafficker, but in order to save the future of the Uchiha clan...
Uchiha Izumi can only give up the opportunity to participate in the clan meeting.
Just go for it!
...
On the other side.
The residence of the Hyuga clan is not far from the residence of the Uchiha clan. The straight-line distance between the two large clan residences is even less than 500 meters.
The time has come to the afternoon.
Unlike the Uchiha clan, which is ready to go and the atmosphere is depressing.
The Hyuga clan has nothing to do today.
Everything seems normal on the surface.
Until...
Neji returned leisurely.
This is the third time Neji has seen the Hyuga Taisou, he is already very familiar with it, ignoring some courtyard landscapes in the mansion, Neji sees Hyuga Taisou again.
"Neji, you're here again!"
Hyuga Taisou still sat on that futon like an old pine, showing a kind smile, "If I remember correctly, it's not the end of the ninja school now, is it? Neji, your sudden visit, is there any good news?"
As soon as the two sentences were finished, the Hyuga patriarch noticed that Neji was a bit unusual, and the bandage on his forehead was taken off at some point.
He could clearly see the cage bird curse seal on Neji's forehead.
This was what he personally engraved for Neji a few years ago.
The Hyuga Taisou's eyes narrowed slightly, "Neji, have you completed the task I gave you?"
Neji's expression was without a trace of waves, and when he looked at the Hyuga Taisou, there was no trace of timidity.
"No."
His tone was calm when he answered.
"Elder, I have thought about it, I will not engrave the cage bird on Hyuga Hinata."
Neji touched his forehead with his hand, and he directly showed his cards, "This evil cage bird curse seal is like a chronic disease on a giant. Because of its existence, every person in the Hyuga clan is trapped in the fate of the main family and the branch family, and cannot break free."
The Hyuga Taisou's face changed slightly.
Only to hear Neji continue to say, "Elder, I don't hate Hyuga Hinata anymore, because I found that my father's death has nothing to do with Hinata. The person who really killed my father is you who stick to the traditional decayed people."
"The cage bird should have been swept into the corner of history, but you old-fashioned people regard it as a treasure. It is precisely because of your behavior that our Hyuga clan can never surpass the Uchiha clan."
"The scroll you gave me, I have already torn it up. From today on, elder, don't let me do such disgusting things. This kind of thing is as disgusting to me as you."
Every word Neji said was stepping on the minefield of the Hyuga Taisou.
Hyuga Taisou's hand were already clenched into fists.
The kind smile on his face became a bit stiff.
"Elder, your thoughts... I actually understand very well, you just want me to go to death. You should be very clear, right? If Whitebeard knows that I engraved the cage bird on Hinata, what kind of end will I fall into?"
Neji showed a smile, but it was a mocking and disdainful sneer.
"If I tell Whitebeard about this directly, elder... what do you think will happen? You should put away your thoughts and don't touch Hinata."
The mansion suddenly fell into silence.
Neji didn't continue to speak.
The Hyuga patriarch didn't speak.
The silence lasted for a minute.
"Neji, you disappoint me..." The smile on the face of the Hyuga patriarch had already converged, and his clenched fists were trembling slightly, "It seems that your father didn't teach you well and didn't instill the thoughts of the Hyuga clan in you."
"Heh!" Neji chuckled lightly, he no longer gave this elder face, without saying a word, he turned around and left.
Leaving the Hyuga patriarch with a face full of uncertain expressions.
When Neji's back disappeared.
The Hyuga patriarch slowly stood up from the floor, he was already in his seventies or eighties, his body didn't look particularly weak, he could still stand upright, and his breath was extraordinary.
"Someone!"
Two Hyuga Chunin who were hiding in the dark immediately came out.
They are the guards of the Hyuga Taisou.
They are loyal to the Hyuga clan.
"Go out with me."
The murky old eyes of the Hyuga Taisou were full of murderous intent, "How exactly does Hiashi manage the Hyuga clan? The younger generations in the family dare to ignore the rules of the Hyuga clan so much! The division between the main family and the branch family is the root of the Hyuga's thousand-year heritage. Those who attempt to violate and destroy the ancestral teachings will never be forgiven!"
Especially when Neji blatantly said that he would tell Whitebeard about this, the Hyuga patriarch was a bit panicked.
He knew very well that it was a terrifying man.
A while ago, when Whitebeard came to the Hyuga clan, almost all the people in the entire Hyuga clan lay down.
Including him, the Hyuga patriarch!
But he couldn't admit that this was the reason he wanted to kill Neji.
Otherwise, it would be too shameful!
"Hyuga Neji..." The Hyuga Taisou murmured coldly, "Why do you force me to kill such an excellent junior like you?"
