Inside the Uchiha Shrine.

The clan leader and the great elder clasped their hands together, paying no attention to Fugaku who also knelt before his ancestors.

After a period of devout kneeling, Uchiha Fugaku's father, the current head of the Uchiha clan, stood up first.

There was no light in his eyes. He just stared at the ancestral tablet and stood there quietly.

He felt the calm outside and knew in his heart that everything was over.

Then, he glanced at Yusuke who was standing by the door. Yusuke crossed his arms and looked at him with a half-smile.

Although he had never seen Yusuke in person, which family would not have a photo of Yusuke? It was just that before, no one took him seriously.

Then, he looked at Uchiha Fugaku again, and thought of what Fugaku had always told him, that his greatest wish was to make the Uchiha clan no longer be excluded and to be able to completely integrate into the village.

As the patriarch of the Uchiha clan, he knew how difficult it was to achieve this goal.

He himself had also risen step by step from a young boy, and had once been full of ambitions to make the Uchiha clan even better under his leadership.

However, the period he went through was full of difficulties. After all, when he took over as the clan leader, the Uchiha clan was being oppressed the most.

Uchiha Kagami disappeared, and the bridge between them and the Hokage was broken. The Third Hokage may not have deliberately targeted the Uchiha, but his acquiescence allowed Shimura Danzo to treat them even more harshly than the Second Hokage after he took over as the Hokage's assistant.

In such an environment, the elders of the Hawk Faction frequently appeared in front of him, and gradually, he began to become dissatisfied with the Hokage faction.

At the same time, he also sneered at Fugaku, who had the same ideas as he did when he was young, and thought his ideas were unrealistic and fantastic.

However, now, with Yusuke's intervention, perhaps Fugaku can lead the Uchiha clan onto another path.

Then, he had made up his mind. He had to use his power wisely, not to mention that the person who took over the power was his son. At this time, he had let go of all the things that happened in the past.

"Fugaku, do you have the confidence to lead the Uchiha clan, save the clan members from being excluded by the upper echelons, and truly integrate them into Konoha?"

Just as Uchiha Fugaku stood up, his father suddenly spoke.

“This is my lifelong goal!”

Uchiha Fugaku answered with a serious face. At this moment, the stone in his heart fell to the ground. His father was finally willing to put aside everything and support him. Although, he did have the intention of forcing the emperor to abdicate.

"Yes. I believe you!" Then the clan leader looked at the white-haired elder and asked, "What does the elder think?"

The Great Elder looked at Yusuke and said, "I want to talk to you, is that okay? Yusuke."

"can."

Afterwards, Uchiha Fugaku and the other man consciously stood at the door and guarded it.

"Everything that happened tonight was your idea, right? I know the Third Hokage. After hearing about the Uchiha clan's intention to stage a coup, he will never trust Fugaku again, and he will not let Fugaku let the Uchiha clan go just by cleaning up the clan."

"Sure enough, the longer you live, the more you'll see." Yusuke clapped his hands with a smile.

"You don't have to praise me, but I really don't understand your intention. You should know that even if you helped Fugaku today, Fugaku is still grateful to the Third Hokage. What benefits can you get from it?"

The elder stared at Yusuke with a sharp gaze, and then said: "If the Third Hokage thinks highly of you, it will be a natural thing for you to succeed the Fourth Hokage; if the Third Hokage does not think highly of you, what can you do even if you have the friendship of the Uchiha?

Will Fugaku, for your help today, disregard the interests of the entire clan, and even if he faces the disaster of extermination, he will do his best to help you and wish you the position of Hokage?"

"Why do you who survived the Warring States period have such narrow vision?"

Yujie's expression remained the same, but his tone was full of sarcasm.

"Please answer my question, Yusuke."

The Great Elder was still staring at Yusuke, his gaze not shifting at all.

"Do you know why Konoha always faces siege by multiple forces in every Ninja World War?"

Yusuke did not respond directly, but instead raised this question.

"It's because our Fire Country is rich in resources and has a beautiful environment, while those countries are either sandy or barren. They will naturally find ways to invade our territory."

As the great elder who witnessed the founding of the village, he seemed particularly angry when faced with this question.

"However, would they dare to do this when the First Hokage and Uchiha Madara were still alive?"

Yusuke continued to ask.

"Humph, when the first Hokage and Patriarch Madara were alive, who would dare to have improper thoughts about our Land of Fire? Yusuke, what do you want to say? Are you going to train another Uchiha Madara in the Uchiha family?"

The Great Elder looked at Yusuke with an unusual expression. He didn't believe that there would be anyone in this world willing to have another Uchiha Madara appear.

"No, what I want to say is that although we in Konoha are full of talented people every year, our internal strife is too serious, and this is no secret in all countries.

I want to become the Fourth Hokage, and I have the confidence to do so. Since there is a chance to solve the problems of the Uchiha and the village, why should we wait until later?

If the Uchiha were to be wiped out by Konoha, it would almost certainly lead to another war. Moreover, when it comes to friendship with the Uchiha clan, who in Konoha can surpass me?"

After listening to Youjie's long speech, the Great Elder didn't quite believe it, but he couldn't find any reason to refute it.

"If that's all, then you will gain the friendship of the Uchiha clan. I hope Fugaku will really do as he said, and there will be a day when Konoha will truly accept the Uchiha."

After saying that, the great elder turned around and walked out. When he walked to the side of the clan leader, he said in a relaxed voice: "You are the clan leader, you have the final say on clan affairs. As for the others, it seems that they will not object in this situation."

"I understand, Fugaku, find a few tribesmen and take the great elder back to rest first."

The clan leader also relaxed his tense body, and spoke to the great elder while bending over slightly.

"I see."

Uchiha Fugaku waved his hand, and several confidants came behind him. After hearing his orders, they also helped the great elder leave.

Seeing this, Youjie also removed the "bird cage".

"By the way, Chief Uchiha, I'd like to trouble you to take Fugaku with you to appease those clan members who are unaware of the situation."

Yusuke suddenly remembered that his "bird cage" could not block out the sound, and it must be a mess outside.

Although there were people led by Sarutobi Hiruzen outside to maintain order and calm their emotions, the clan leader still had to come forward in person.

"Fugaku, let's go out."

The clan leader took the lead and walked directly past Youjie and headed out of the ancestral hall.

"it is good."

Uchiha Fugaku looked at Yusuke and nodded, then followed.
