Naruto: The secret in the wood escape barrier

"But what Shisui brought us was the news that 'Konoha accepted our request.'"

Fugaku continued to preach without fear of Qingji's fierce gaze.

"Konoha brought us peace, but Elder Qingji killed it and took away the rights we should have enjoyed."

All the clansmen were in an uproar.

At this time, Qing Ji was furious.

"Fugaku, what are you talking about! Konoha's acceptance of our request is just a pretense, their real purpose is to strangle us!"

"Then I would like to ask Elder Qingji, why have they not taken action until now?"

"Because they're afraid of our Sharingan."

"But if we act later, the threat of Sharingan will still exist."

Qingji never thought that Fugaku would turn his back on the spot. He pointed at Fugaku's nose angrily and said.

"Hmph, you traitor! You have been bribed by Konoha for a long time, and you have cooperated with them inside and outside in an attempt to bring down Uchiha. People like you are not worthy of becoming our clan leader."

"Whether we are worthy or not must be dealt with in accordance with the clan law first and then the clan members who have committed the crime will be dealt with."

Qing Ji looked panicked.

"You, what do you mean?"

Suddenly, a black shadow appeared behind Qing Ji, and a cold light flashed. Witnessed by many tribesmen, Qing Ji was stabbed through the chest with a knife.

"Fugaku...you..."

In the last moments of his life, Uchiha Keiji heard his trial.

"Uchiha Qingji was sentenced to death for killing fellow Uchiha Shisui..."

The knife was pulled out from his chest, and with a muffled sound, Qingji fell to the high platform.

The sudden change shocked everyone present, and their attention was attracted by the person who had just executed Qingji - that was also a compatriot they were familiar with, Uchiha Itachi, who was also known as a genius.

For a moment, there was silence in the square.

After a brief silence, a young tribesman came straight towards Fugaku. He took out his kunai and shouted: "You traitor, I will kill you!"

The sword flashed, and only for a moment, the man was hit in the neck by Itachi with the back of the sword, and passed out. The knife was still stained with Qingji's blood, which kept flowing downwards. Itachi's face was sullen, and the aura emanating from his body Chilling.

Such a scene shocked those who still wanted to support Qing Ji, and the commotion temporarily stopped.

Fugaku glanced at Qingji, who was lying dead on the ground, and then said to the tribesmen.

"The current situation is like this. Once Zhisui dies, we lose the possibility of peace talks. However, I failed to protect Zhishui and caused him to encounter accidents during the peace talks. I also have an unshirkable responsibility for this matter, so I Decide to accept all punitive measures that Konoha may propose in the future."

The commotion started again below. Some people's faces clearly showed dissatisfaction, but many were too angry to speak out.

Fugaku just looked at them and continued.

"Of course, you also have your own choices, and even if I stop you, you won't listen, so if you want to do something, I can't interfere."

Fugaku looked at everyone.

"I will give up resistance in exchange for the safety of the Uchiha clan. Those who agree with my ideas can now return home and wait. I promise you that I will ensure your safety."

"Uchiha Fugaku! You are betraying your clan by letting us sit and wait to die!"

A young man lost control of his emotions and rushed towards the stage.
