The White-eyed Princess Behind the Leaf's Curtain

After finally coaxing Sasuke to sleep, Mikoto looked at the place where the clan was meeting and sighed softly.

"It's really hard on Itachi." She blamed herself in her heart.

Although these burdens were placed on Itachi's shoulders because he was indeed a genius and Fugaku's personal decision, she was just a supporter.

But when Sasuke mentioned Itachi, it still made her heart hurt.

No mother does not love her children.

If possible, she would rather Itachi was an ordinary person, so that he didn't have to accept so many things in advance and bear such a heavy burden.

It should be noted that he is only eight years old now

However, Fugaku has assigned many tasks to Itachi and has been training him. It can be said that he has placed high hopes on him.

Itachi is naturally also very precocious.

He has been thinking about war and peace since he was five years old. Although he has never seen War and Peace, this does not prevent him from thinking about it.

From a ninja's perspective

This is actually a common problem of empiricism. The more one thinks from the perspective of the Will of Fire, the more limited Itachi's thinking becomes.

Although he has been learning from Shisui, he tries not to be constrained by his family's vision.

But the actual situation is that both the Will of Fire and the Glory of the Family are actually just relatively small and narrow collectivism.

Compared to the entire shinobi world, these horizons are so narrow.

And they're basically trying to accomplish an impossible task.

Because the village has long been unable to accommodate Uchiha.

The ninja world is far bigger than just one Konoha.

Of course, the other Uchiha are actually worse.

The Uchiha clan, which has a strong Kage level, can actually live well without Konoha, but they are not willing to do so.

Not willing to give up the territory of Konoha.

Unlike Orochimaru, who took advantage and left, with his Kage-level strength, he was able to live like a duck in water in the ninja world, living very wantonly.

Of course, in fact, even if those three magatama agreed to leave, Shisui would not agree.

This is being trapped in a cage.

He wants to leave but refuses to leave, and he refuses to reconcile with Konoha. In the final analysis, it is still his confidence in his own strength.

In a way, the mental problem of the pinkeye family is so serious, and the way of opening the Sharingan eyes plays a big role.

You can't open your eyes without being mentally traumatized, but there is no psychological counseling in the ninja world.

Moreover, as ninjas, they feel that life and death are just commonplace, and more people have already become accustomed to it, let alone thinking about whether killing people will cause any psychological shadow to them.

Naturally, these Uchiha tribesmen who have lost relatives and friends are more mentally paranoid.

As the patriarch, Fugaku had no choice but to place his hopes on his children.

Ever since he discovered Itachi's talent, Fugaku felt more relaxed and especially enjoyed coaching Itachi in his spare time.

As Itachi continued to grow, his demands on Itachi became higher and higher.

Mikoto naturally supports her husband's actions. No matter what decision he makes, she will support it unconditionally.

But when she thought of Itachi's increasingly silent figure, Mikoto still felt a little distressed.

Also at this time, Fugaku was still having a meeting with the senior leaders of the clan.

It's not easy for everyone.

In the ancestral hall, Fugaku talked to the senior officials about his thoughts and the possibility of reconciliation with Konoha senior officials.

But this communication is actually destined to not be very pleasant.

"Chief, the top leaders of the village are so outrageous, why should we bow our heads and submit?" the second elder said.

"When Konoha was founded, we also had a share, and we have made indelible contributions in the past few decades. But Kagami died, and so many geniuses also died, what have we gained?" said the speaker The person's eyes are open with three magatama eyes, and the power of his pupils blooms unscrupulously.

This is already considered a provocation.

Even though Fugaku is now the clan leader, as a clan leader, in the eyes of outsiders, he is not able to create a qualitative gap with other people in the clan.

He is still just an elite jounin

Of course, Fugaku's actual strength was more than that, so he accepted the pressure of these contact lenses calmly.

But he still had to give an explanation to his tribe.

"Perhaps, we were ostracized a little too much before, but the higher-ups seem to be showing us goodwill." Fugaku expressed his thoughts.

"That's just for use," said a somewhat old man, who was the second elder of the clan.

The longer people live, the more determined they are about certain things.

At the beginning, like everyone else, he didn't leave with Madara, but he just held a breath in his heart.

By what

The strength of the Uchiha clan is not inferior to that of the Senju clan, why can't they win the position of Hokage?

Especially now that they have experienced several ninja wars and they have lost too much.

No one is willing to give in like this.

That means all their efforts in the past have been wasted.

Talking about today's events, the second elder was quite angry: "If the village treats our clan like this, why do you still stand up today? After solving the crisis of the Cloud Ninjas, they will deal with us when they come back."

"On the contrary, if we take advantage of this opportunity, we may be able to gain power for ourselves."

When he talked about this possibility, his somewhat old face was filled with excitement.

Uchiha need power

After he said these words, other tribesmen also showed similar looks.

To be honest, they had had enough of being in this remote place.

They also want to be at the center of power in the village and enjoy the honor that Uchiha deserves.

But the village's senior officials wouldn't give it.

Especially Danzo, it was him a few years ago, and he is still him today

"The head of the family is really confused," Ling Renren expressed his attitude. "Now the top management of the village is getting weaker and weaker. This is our opportunity. How can we make them recover so quickly?"

"Speaking of which, the strength of our clan is not weak. At this time when the top management of Konoha is so weak, we should seize the opportunity." This is another three magatama.

I have to say that there are really many magatama in this period.

The main thing is that many people have sacrificed their family trees.

The Sharingan gave them enough confidence, but also blinded their eyes.

They simply don't understand that even the current weak top management is not something they can deal with.

Seeing their excited expressions, Fugaku couldn't help but frown: "Fourth Uncle, what do you mean by not recognizing me as the clan leader?"

"No," Teru Uchiha shook his head slightly and said his request, "It's just that we need a compensation, one that can stand at the center of power in the village."

"This is not hopeless." Fugaku expressed his thoughts, "We are the strongest family in Konoha and have unique advantages in combat. If the higher-ups do not give us corresponding treatment, we can do it ourselves Go get it.”

As for how to get it, the attitude is already very clear.

"What you mean is to carry out a coup by force." Fugaku's expression was not good.

He just thought he could ease the relationship between his family and the village today, but when he looked back, these tribesmen did this for him.

But he couldn't ignore their attitude.

Because this group of the most radical clan members is the core strength of Uchiha, and their attitude represents the attitude of this clan.

Although, his kaleidoscope can suppress all these people.

But human ambition cannot be suppressed.

Hearing Fugaku's words, the second elder nodded: "Of course, those legendary ninjas have left. If there is a coup by force, we will have a great advantage."

He felt that he had a great advantage.

In this regard, Fugaku had nothing to say to refute.

As for why these people can expand so much, you can refer to Sasuke after opening his eyes.

Before opening his eyes, he was modest and cautious, thinking that he was not strong enough, but once the kaleidoscope opened, he dared to fight the five shadows

Although his backhand was lifted and hammered.

Just like these tribesmen now, each of them can feel the power of Sharingan, and they have also proved the power of these eyes in actual combat.

Unless they were really beaten down, they would not be able to recognize the strength gap between themselves and the Anbu.
