At the Uchiha clan meeting, the atmosphere was extremely tense.

"Fugaku, who is the murderer?"

The fifth elder asked the question eagerly. Everyone waited with bated breath for the answer, except for the third elder, who was tense.

"Uchiha..." Fugaku's gaze moved around the stage from time to time, and finally stopped on the third elder, "Kazuhiko!"

"You fart!"

The third elder stood up quickly and stared at Uchiha Fugaku with an angry face. He pointed at Fugaku with a trembling finger, his mouth opened and closed, but he was unable to utter the fourth word.

"Fugaku, since you say Kazuhiko is the murderer, you must provide solid evidence to prove it. Otherwise, you will not be able to bear the charge of slandering the elders."

The great elder, who had remained silent until now, also spoke at this time.

The Great Elder is the most legendary person in the entire Uchiha Clan. He was once a close follower of Uchiha Madara and fought with him in all directions. He witnessed the two families put aside their prejudices and jointly established Konoha Village. He also participated in the First World War and made great military achievements. Now in the family, even the clan leader is respectful to him.

"Great Elder!"

Uchiha Fugaku saluted and said, "Hokage-sama has eliminated many members of the Root during this period. I wonder if you have heard about it?"

"Yeah, I've heard a little bit about it!" The Great Elder nodded slightly.

"I have a few secret letters here, which contain not only their conspiracy plans, but also the routes of Uchiha Ming and others' outings. Finally, there are also photos given by the Hokage of Uchiha Kazuhiko meeting with the Root ninjas!"

Uchiha Yan, who was standing by, had already prepared and handed the information to the elder. They respected the elder very much, and the elder did not disappoint them.

"Kazuhiko, what do you want to explain?"

Although most of the clan members were confused, the family leaders all knew about the Root and who was in charge of the Root. They were previously puzzled as to why Shimura Danzo had stepped down inexplicably, but now they all understood.

"Great Elder, can these few pieces of paper and these photos, whose authenticity I don't know, be considered as evidence?"

The third elder sneered, his cold expression showing his disdain for the so-called evidence, but he was actually in a panic inside.

At this time, the fifth elder hurried forward and took the evidence from the first elder. He carefully examined each piece of evidence, and his expression gradually became more ferocious.

He stared at Uchiha Kazuhiko with extremely angry eyes and was about to take action when he was stopped in time by the great elder.

After seeing the reactions of the elders, the rest of the clansmen also became indignant and glared at Uchiha Kazuhiko. Some of them had even opened their Sharingan.

Just listen to a loud "bang"!

"That's enough! This is the family ancestral hall, not a place where you can cause trouble. If you have anything to discuss, wait until the clan meeting is over before discussing it."

The clan leader slammed the table angrily, and then his cold eyes shot towards his son like an arrow, and he said sternly: "Fugaku, have you already surrendered to the Hokage?"

"As a member of Konoha, there is no such thing as surrendering. As long as it is beneficial to the village, it is worth doing."

Uchiha Fugaku looked at his father without flinching, his eyes firm.

"Benefiting the village? How dare you question the elders of your family with something given to you by an outsider, Fugaku? Have you forgotten your last name?"

Fugaku's father stood up suddenly, and several other hawkish elders followed suit.

Their faces seemed to be frozen with frost, extremely cold, staring at Uchiha Fugaku closely, as if they wanted to eat him alive. After all, Uchiha Fugaku's actions were contrary to theirs.

"Surname? Father, if we continue to indulge in the glory of our ancestors, I'm afraid that our people will lose themselves. I'm afraid that under your leadership, our family will be destroyed."

"Asshole! How dare you say such things to me here!"

Fugaku's father flipped the table, and the things on the table scattered all over the floor. The clan leader's guards also rushed to the front, waiting for the clan leader's order, and they were ready to take action.

On Uchiha Fugaku's side, many people had already drawn their shurikens and kunai and were confronting the other side.

"It seems that you are ready, right?"

The patriarch stared at his son's side. In that instant, a large number of people gathered around him. He then realized that his son had made corresponding preparations.

"In order to prevent the Uchiha clan from disappearing, I, Fugaku, am willing to be the sinner."

"Wait, what on earth is going on with you guys?"

Seeing this scene, several elders who had not yet expressed their opinions were extremely surprised. They were just talking peacefully, how could they suddenly draw their swords against each other?

"Haha, can't you see? Fugaku is trying to force the emperor to abdicate."

The third elder sneered, feeling secretly proud in his heart. Originally, he had been nearly in an irretrievable situation, but he never thought that Uchiha Fugaku would do such a heinous thing.

This is great. After Uchiha Fugaku is captured or killed, he will have countless ways to escape from this storm safely.

"Uchiha Kazuhiko, don't be sarcastic. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame yourself for developing ambitions that you shouldn't have."

Immediately afterwards, Uchiha Fugaku stood up and said to the group of people who didn't know what was going on.

"Everyone, haven't you figured out what's going on? The Third Elder and his gang were plotting to launch a coup, but when Uchiha Na discovered it, he was brutally murdered by the Third Elder. And now, the Third Hokage has also noticed this. Originally, the ninja army from Konoha Village should have appeared here today.

However, Yusuke, the disciple of the Third Hokage, found us and made us realize our mistake. The Hokage finally relented and only asked us to eliminate the restless people in the Uchiha clan, so that we could still be a part of Konoha.

This is not a compromise. Everyone, the Second Shinobi World War has just ended. Konoha Village was originally founded by our ancestors. Do you want to see the village that our ancestors worked so hard to build being invaded by war and eventually become a river of blood?"

Uchiha Fugaku's voice was very contagious, and all of a sudden, many ninjas who were watching were already staring at the Third Elder and others. And those who had not participated in the planned coup also moved away from them.

Even the clan leader and the great elder looked at them in disbelief.

"Second Elder, Third Elder, Sixth Elder, just surrender."

Many people who had opened the Sharingan began to gather around the three elders. They could be said to be the ones who had been educated and trained by them since childhood and would never betray them.

Seeing that the other party was ready for battle, Uchiha Fugaku took out an exquisite cup from his arms.

He didn't understand why Yusuke smashed the cup as a signal. Wouldn't it be better to shout? Anyway, it wasn't me who was shouting, and I was not the one who was embarrassed.

Finally, Uchiha Fugaku threw the cup heavily to the ground under everyone's puzzled gaze.
