Chapter 12: Avoid Fighting

The Sandaime Hokage stared at Danzō's leaving figure and sighed deeply.

"Danzō, you are just the root of Konoha. You don't need to think so much. I am different. I am Hokage. There are too many aspects that I need to consider."

Depending on where you stand, the things you consider are also different. He is the Hokage, so he must consider issues from the Hokage's perspective.

Even though Uchiha doesn't have a good reputation in the village, he is one of the oldest families in Konoha. If the Hokage attacks a ninja without any evidence, what will the other ninja think?

After the efforts of several generations of Hokages, Konoha's civilian ninjas have gradually emerged, but it is the various ninja clans that really support Konoha.

To attack the ninja clan is to dig up the roots of Konoha. Also, is Uchiha that easy to bully?

As the clan leader, Uchiha Fugaku must have hidden some power.

Although Shisui and Itachi have aligned themselves with us and oppose the clan, I'm not sure to what extent they can influence.

The most important point is that more than three years have passed since the Third Shinobi World War, and every village has recovered a certain amount of vitality.

Kumogakure and Iwagakure began to eye Konoha again. Even Sunagakure had many small-scale conflicts with Konoha on the border, which gave him a splitting headache.

At this time, the civil war in the village started. No matter what Uchiha did, Konoha was defeated.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, looked to the side of the room, where there was a photo of a young blond man. The young man in the photo is majestic yet friendly, young and energetic. The Fourth Hokage!

...Maybe I was really wrong back then!

The face of the Sandaime Hokage was gradually shrouded in smoke.

...

The atmosphere in the whole village was tense.

Because of Uchiha!

They suddenly sealed off the entire family and cut off all contact with the outside world.

Many ninjas began to have random thoughts and fell into uneasiness. Especially the top brass of each ninja clan.

News about the possible rebellion of the Uchiha had already reached their ears through various channels. Now the Uchiha were so quiet. This had not happened for many years. Are they going to take action?

Once a civil war breaks out in the village, what should they do?

The ANBU under the Hokage and the Root under the Hokage's assistant Shimura Danzō have begun sending more manpower to the Uchiha clan.

This undoubtedly intensified the atmosphere.

"Fūnan, what do you want to do?"

Fugaku stared at Fūnan with a dissatisfied expression.

Regarding the barrier, the materials are in place and the manpower is available. However, Fūnan ordered to block all information and cut off the connection between the family and the village.

If it were him, he would have issued a statement long ago to avoid misunderstandings, but Fūnan secretly added fuel to the fire, causing the whole village to be in turmoil. Fugaku couldn't understand.

Is this because you are afraid that the world will not be in chaos? You still say that you have not inherited Uchiha Setsuna's will?

Fūnan glanced at Fugaku and sighed: "Clan Leader, no wonder you can only be the Clan Leader and not the Deputy Leader. This is the gap."

Fugaku was stunned for a moment before he realized: "I'm really sorry that I can't be the deputy clan leader!"

Setsuna and Soji were also dumbfounded.

That being said, why does it seem like the deputy leader is more attractive? Make it clear, you are their subordinate!

"Do you think a conflict will break out?"

"What?"

Fūnan asked again and said: "I said, will the village and Uchiha fight?"

"There won't be." Uchiha Soji said with certainty: "Even if they distrust the Uchiha, they are not likely to act under these circumstances."

"That would be nice! Making them feel nervous, sweat a little, that's not a bad thing!"

Fūnan seemed relaxed, completely unconcerned.

A few people frowned at first, and then thought deeply.

Make them feel nervous, sweat a little...

"Speak clearly!" Setsuna looked at his grandson coldly for a moment, his tone displeased. Sometimes, he wants to beat this grandson!

"Okay!" Fūnan said helplessly: "Wait until they realize it was a false alarm. What will they do then?"

"They will be greatly relieved. At this time, they will understand how much they don't want to be enemies with Uchiha."

"I'm not exaggerating because I'm an Uchiha!"

"Everyone participated in the Shinobi World War and fought side by side, so they know the power of Uchiha very well."

"Even if they can destroy Uchiha together, are they willing to be enemies of Uchiha?"

"How great are the benefits of this? I don't need to continue talking about it, right?"

The three of them suddenly looked at Fūnan with some confusion. It's a very simple thing, but if it were the three of them, they wouldn't do it. However, they also have to admit that Fūnan's way may be better! It seems that the whole village is tense, but in fact it is avoiding war.

"Of course, no one knows whether a certain Konoha Root will take the opportunity to do something and ignite the flames of war. After all, no one can predict the lower limit of Danzō-sama." Fūnan spread his hands and said: "So, I asked Itachi to report to the Sandaime Hokage."

"With Hokage-sama's temperament, he will definitely give Danzō an order not to act recklessly."

"Itachi?"

Fūnan looked at Fugaku with a smile but not a smile, and said: "Clan leader, Itachi is a double agent, don't tell me, you don't know."

"Double agent?"

Setsuna and Soji were startled and looked at Fugaku coldly.

Fugaku frowned. Of course he knows, but he has confidence in his son, and he believes that his son will understand him.

Looking at Fugaku's expression, Fūnan seemed to understand what he was thinking, and complained crazily in his heart.

Itachi will eventually collapse and kill the family. Uchiha Fugaku will definitely bear the greatest responsibility. What the hell, is that your son? Why can't you give him less responsibilities and more affection? You took him to the battlefield at four years old! Is he really your son?

Look at Sarutobi Hiruzen saying: '...Itachi, he can think like Hokage at the age of seven.'

Is that even possible? Anyone who was praised like that would feel dizzy, red-eyed, wanting to sacrifice themselves for his friend.

Fūnan just wanted to ask: 'If you can think like Hokage at the age of seven, will you have the chance to become Hokage in the future?'

Absolutely not! It's the same even if Itachi's surname is not Uchiha!

Itachi himself probably understands, but that doesn't stop him from being loyal to Hokage!

So in this sense, Fugaku can only be Hiruzen's younger brother.

"Fugaku, do you have anything to explain?"

Uchiha Setsuna's voice was cold.

"No!" It was Fūnan who answered him.

Fūnan smiled and said: "Old man, why are you so nervous? A double agent will only be better. Itachi is loyal to the clan and is in a position where he could convey some of our news at any time, some of the news that we would like to send to the Hokage faction."

"For example, two pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan!"
