Naruto: The secret in the wood escape barrier

"What's the attitude of Konoha's top brass on this matter?" the old man asked.

"There is no public statement, but now both father and son have gone home." Fugaku replied.

"Fugaku, I want to remind you," the old man coughed twice and said, "if this matter spreads, everyone with a discerning eye will know where this child came from. Kakashi Hatake is a student of the Hokage, and the top management of Konoha will naturally Prioritizing protecting his interests and reputation, the lack of handling of the review of their father and son this time is the best proof. Therefore, regardless of whether Kakashi is active or not, he will eventually point the finger at us Uchiha, which is likely to deepen the village. The Chinese people’s suspicion and disgust towards the Uchiha clan.”

The old man continued: "If Kakashi was forced, the top management of Konoha will doubt the reason why we attacked Kakashi. If they think that we want to infiltrate from the inside and control the Hokage's decision-making, then our clan's The situation is even more dangerous.”

"But that's just that person's personal behavior. Why should our entire family be suspected?"

"Yes, doesn't this mean that if we do nothing, we will be strangled by Konoha sooner or later, right?"

The young Uchihas finally couldn't restrain their inner panic and roared excitedly.

"This thing alone is not enough. The problem lies in the accumulation of one thing." The old man said, stroking his beard.

Fugaku frowned. How could he not know this? Hatake's surprise involved the Sharingan. According to common sense, he should notify himself as the clan leader as soon as possible, but he did not wait for anyone to notify him, including Namikaze Minato.

Until Kakashi and his son were released after being examined, they were not informed of the matter like ordinary non-related parties. This was clearly a manifestation of the deprivation of the right to speak, and he did not even have a chance to explain. Various evidences All aggravated his inner uneasiness.

"We can't sit still and wait for death, Mr. Patriarch!" Some young people below could not help but wave their fists, looking eager to try.

"Overthrow the rule of Konoha and build our own village!" someone shouted.

Seeing that the situation was starting to get out of control, Fugaku shouted: "Shut up!"

Seeing the clan leader's anger, everyone became quiet and waited for Fugaku to speak.

"I understand your feelings, but if you really take this step, the consequences may be more serious than you think. I will consider your opinions. Let's stop here today."

"Fugaku!" The old man just now suddenly roared angrily: "What time has it reached now? The Uchiha clan has repeatedly given in, but Konoha is still pressing forward step by step. The tasks assigned have been reduced and the funds have been significantly cut. We still have How long can we endure it? Although the Fourth Hokage is in power, he is too young and has no background. In major matters, he is still at the mercy of the Fire Nation daimyo and the top management of Konoha. Now our family has the power to launch a coup to change all this. When If policies are really introduced that are unfavorable to Uchiha, then it will be too late for us to take action!"

At this moment, time seemed to have stood still, and the smell of gunpowder in the air became stronger. Everyone was waiting for Fugaku's final decision.

"I know everyone's thoughts very well, but the peace after this war was achieved at the expense of countless talents. If possible, I don't want to use force to solve the problem. Moreover, once a war breaks out, Uchiha may suffer heavy damage. Therefore, everyone Give me some more time, and I will follow everyone's advice if necessary."
