"Don't be agitated, Uchiha Itachi," the masked Obito chuckled, "Believe me, the first person to strike at the Uchiha will definitely not be me."
Itachi fell silent.
The Uchiha clan had always wanted to seize power, arguing that Konoha had been founded by both the Senju and Uchiha clans, so why was it that only the Senju were Hokage?
Although the Third and Fourth were not of Senju blood, the Third was the disciple of Senju Tobirama, the Second Hokage, and the Fourth was the disciple of Jiraiya, who was a student of the Third, both arguably heirs to the Senju lineage.
However, Itachi understood that with the Uchiha clan's temperament, they really were not well suited for the position of Hokage.
Now, due to the Police Department's work, the Uchiha clan's reputation among Konoha's civilians was that of a disliked and detested entity – only the naive children in the ninja academy might "admire" the Uchiha.
"A coup d'état, the Uchiha are planning a coup d'état."
