Konoha: Uchiha's Magnificent Rebellion

After talking to him, my father agreed to let him represent the Uchiha clan in supporting the Hyuga clan."

Uchiha Itachi said solemnly.

"Fugaku is trying to take advantage of this opportunity to win over the Hyuuga. What does he want to do if the Uchiha and Hyuuga unite!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's face turned ugly.

Uchiha Itachi's eyes flashed slightly and his brows were tightly furrowed.

He thought of those voices in his family clamoring for a coup to seize the position of Hokage; once the Uchiha and Hyuga united, these voices might not just be empty shouting.

"Itachi, we must stop Uchiha Yuan tomorrow. Can I entrust this task to you?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said.

"Please rest assured, Third-generation Lord, I will do my best to stop Uchiha Yuan."

Uchiha Itachi said quickly.

Seeing Uchiha Itachi's performance, Sarutobi Hiruzen's old face showed a satisfied smile.

He said: “I know that I have wronged the Hyuga clan this time, but this is all for the sake of peace.

The stalemate with the Kumo ninja over the years, the number of ninja casualties and material losses have placed a huge burden on the village.

The Uchiha clan would not have thought of all this, and neither would the other ninja clans in the village; but I need to consider this, because Konoha needs peace.

That is why I am unwilling to let the Cloud Ninjas tear up the peace treaty for just one reason.

For the future of Konoha, you can sacrifice Hinata today, and you can sacrifice me tomorrow."

Hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, Uchiha Itachi raised his head and looked at him with respect.

[Third-generation master, the Hyuga clan cannot understand you, father and Uchiha Yuan will not understand you, but I understand you, everything is for Konoha. ]

At Nara Shikaku's home, Yamanaka Inichi and Nara Shikaku were playing chess, and next to them sat the huge figure of Akimichi Choza.

"Shikaku, what do you think Uchiha Yuan meant by what he asked Kino and Kai to convey?"

Yamanaka Haiyi placed a chess piece and then spoke.

"He is telling us ninjas that the Hokage clan is trying to win us over in order to suppress the Uchiha clan.

The stronger the Uchiha clan becomes, the more the Hokage clan will need the support of us ninjas."

Nara Shikaku dropped one of his pieces and ate one of Yamanaka Inoichi's pieces, then continued, "Once the Uchiha clan is gone, the fate of the Hyuga clan will most likely befall us.

So sometimes we also need to support the Uchiha clan."

"Really? Is that what Uchiha Yuan meant?"

Akimichi Choza said in surprise.

Yamanaka Haiyi picked up a chess piece and prepared to place it, and asked, "Shikaku, do you think we need to show our support for the Uchiha?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yamanaka Inichi placed his chess piece; while Nara Shikaku stared at the chessboard with a frown in his eyes, remaining silent.

After a while, he picked up a chess piece and said, "What Uchiha Yuan said is very true. If the Third Generation can sacrifice Hyuga today, he may sacrifice us tomorrow.

We need to express our dissatisfaction with his affairs regarding Hyuga to the three generations."

blah blah blah!

A piece fell heavily.

Chapter 348 Uchiha and Hyuga's Meeting

The night was as dark as ink, without a single star to be seen.

A patrolling team of five people from the branch family passed by the main gate of the Hyuga clan.

After the kidnapping incident last night, the Hyuga clan decided to strengthen patrols around their territory before the Cloud Ninja delegation left Konoha.

No one can guarantee whether the Cloud Ninja will kidnap again.

A night breeze suddenly blew up, blowing up several leaves on the road; this slight movement was particularly obvious in the night and attracted the attention of the patrol team.

A hawk-like figure swept across the top of the patrol team and flew straight into the Hyuga clan's territory.

Around Hyuga Hiashi's residence, patrolling figures were walking back and forth.

The empty room was silent and quiet. Hinata Hiashi was kneeling upright, showing the elegance of a clan leader.

Hinata Hiashi was also kneeling with his body straight, about half a body length behind him on his left.

"Hizashi, as a brother, I'm sorry."

Hinata Hiashi suddenly spoke softly.

The two brothers are twins and have a good understanding of each other. When Hyuga Hizashi heard this, he immediately knew that Hyuga Hizashi was apologizing to him for not opposing the plan of the great elder De Zong at the family meeting.

But if he were to apologize as the clan leader, Hyuga Hiashi would not apologize.

Hinata Hizashi smiled slightly, "Brother, you don't have to apologize. The Great Elder's countermeasures are correct."

The conversation ended and there was another long silence between the two.

"What do you think of Uchiha Yuan's request for a meeting?"

Hinata Hiashi asked, breaking the silence.

"No matter what the Uchiha clan's purpose is, their interference is beneficial to us Hyuga."

Hinata Hizashi said.

"If the Uchiha proposes to unite with us Hyuuga, do you think I should agree?"

Hinata Hiashi said.

Hinata Hizashi's eyes showed deep thought, and after thinking for a while he slowly said, "I don't think I can agree to this."

Hearing this, Hyuga Hiashi turned to look at Hyuga Hizashi with a look of relief in his eyes.

"Hiashi, can you tell me what you think?"

Hinata Hiashi said.

“Although the Uchiha clan seems to be extremely powerful, I see that the Uchiha clan is gradually falling into crisis.

One day, the village's tolerance for the Uchiha will disappear; when that happens, there will be a fierce conflict between the Uchiha and the village.

Once we unite with the Uchiha, the conflict between the Uchiha and the village will inevitably involve us, the Hyuga."

Hinata Hizashi said.

"You don't think the Uchiha will gain an advantage in the fight with the village?"

Hinata Hiashi asked.

“Although the Uchiha are strong, they are still much weaker than the entire village.

Our distant relatives, the Kaguya clan, have proven that it is difficult for one clan to fight against an entire village."

Hinata Hizashi said.

"Hiashi, you agree with me."

Hinata Hiashi nodded slightly and said.

"Then why did Brother agree to Uchiha Yuan's request for a meeting?"

Hinata Hizashi asked.

Hyuga Hiashi turned his head and looked at Hyuga Hizashi and said, “Because we Hyuga need the support of Uchiha now.

If possible, I hope I don’t have to use the Great Elder’s countermeasures.”

Looking at Hyuga Hiashi, Hyuga Hizashi felt that the depression in his chest seemed to be dissipating rapidly.

At this moment, a very abrupt voice sounded in the room.

"It really makes me sad. We sincerely wanted to help Hinata, but we were underestimated.

You two, please remember that the Uchiha are not from the Kaguya clan."

As the words fell, a figure walked out from the darkness of the room and came in front of the two Hyuga brothers.

Uchiha Yuan sat cross-legged in front of Hyuga Hiashi with a look of arrogance, "Good evening, Patriarch Hiashi."

Hinata Hiashi frowned slightly and glanced towards the door; although his face remained calm at the appearance of Uchiha Yuan, the shock in his heart was like a raging storm.

Because strict guards had already been deployed inside and outside the mansion; but at this moment there was no movement outside, and it was obvious that the guards outside did not notice Uchiha Yuan's infiltration.

Suppressing the surprise in her heart, Hinata looked Uchiha Yuan up and down with a scrutinizing gaze.

Then he said: "Uchiha Yuan, before we start the meeting, I would like to express my gratitude to you. Thank you for saving my little girl Hinata."

"There is no need to thank me, Chief Hiashi. Saving Miss Hinata is the duty of the security team."

Uchiha Yuan said lightly.

"Uchiha Yuan, can you really represent the entire Uchiha clan?"

Hinata Hiashi stared at Uchiha Yuan and asked seriously.

"Yes."

Uchiha Yuan looked into Hyuga Hiashi's eyes without hesitation and spoke calmly.

“As the head of the Hyuga clan, I would also like to express my gratitude to you for the Uchiha clan’s willingness to support us, the Hyuga clan.

But if Uchiha has any unreasonable requests, I'm sorry I can't agree to them."

Hinata Hiashi's expression relaxed slightly and said.

"For example, I, the Uchiha, want to unite with the Hyuuga?"

Uchiha Yuan said with a playful smile.

Hinata Hiashi's expression suddenly changed, and a hint of annoyance flashed across his face.

Who would have thought that Uchiha Yuan could sneak up to them quietly and overhear the conversation between the two brothers.

"good."

Hinata Hiashi quickly regained his indifferent expression and looked directly at Uchiha Yuan with a calm gaze.

"Hahaha."

Uchiha Yuan laughed a few times, and then said: "Please rest assured, Head of the Hiashi clan, since you are unwilling to unite with us Uchiha, I will not force you."

Then, he continued, "I came here this time hoping to reach a tacit understanding with Chief Rizu."

"please say."

"Tomorrow I will attack the Kumogakure ninja. As I said to the mirror, the Kumogakure ninja's shameless demands not only insult the Hyuga but also insult us Uchiha.

A mere Cloud Ninja dares to do whatever he wants in our Uchiha territory. That is a mockery of us Uchiha."

Uchiha Yuan first explained why the Uchiha would support the Hyuga, and then he continued: "The reason why I, the Uchiha, attacked the Kumo Ninja was because of the shameless demands made by the Kumo Ninja to the Hyuga.

And once I, the Uchiha, intervene, the village leaders will probably put pressure on you, the Hyuga, in order to calm the situation as quickly as possible.

I hope that Chief Rizu will not back down at that time."

"Humph! Uchiha Yuan, are you looking down on me? If you weren't my daughter's savior, I would have fought you based on what you just said."

Hinata Hiashi had an angry look on his face and he stared at Uchiha Yuan and said.

"It's not that I underestimate Chief Hiashi, but it's very likely to happen. Chief Hiashi may be able to withstand the pressure from the village's top leaders, but what about the rest of the Hyuga clan?"

Hearing Uchiha Yuan's words, Hyuga Hiashi's expression froze; he thought of the elders of the main family who did not dare to resist when faced with the tough coercion of the third generation.

Chapter 349 Conversation

"What do you need me to do?"

Hinata Hiashi asked.

"In fact, I don't need you to do anything. I just want you to keep silent."

Uchiha Yuan said.

Hinata Hiashi frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
