The people below were reporting outside the door.
Uchiha Shikaku put away the account book and said, "Let him in."
Soon, Kanzai came in, looking exhausted.
The Great Elder looked at Kanzai and the heads in his hand with a serious expression.
"What's going on!?"
Kanzai threw the three heads aside and sat down cross-legged.
"Danzo's men ambushed our team halfway. Koichi and Yo are dead."
"If I hadn't made a breakthrough, I wouldn't have been able to come back."
The Great Elder's face turned pale, and he said in disbelief: "Danzo! How dare he!?"
"Why wouldn't he dare? The news of our coup has been leaked, and Konoha will soon take action against our Uchiha clan."
Shikaku was shocked: "Kanzai, what do you mean!?"
Kanzai sat down, picked up the cup, and poured himself a glass of water.
He had almost no supplies along the way and was now starving and thirsty.
After drinking two glasses of water, his dry throat was relieved.
"Great Elder, would you like to look into my eyes first..."
Kanzai exhaled slowly, and then reminded.
Shikaku's heart skipped a beat. Kanzai was already the three-magatama elite in the tribe, and he said that he had made a breakthrough. Could it be... ?
Kanzai closed his eyes slightly, then slowly opened them. The three magatama in his blood-red Sharingan had cracked into three hollow sharp angles, similar to an inverted V pattern.
A huge feeling of oppression came over him, and the immense power of his pupils made Shikaku's breathing become heavier.
Shikaku suddenly stood up, his face showing shock at first, and then ecstasy:
"Ha…hahahaha…ok! Okay!"
"We have successors for Uchiha! We have successors! This coup will definitely succeed!"
Kanzai looked calm, without any joy on his face. Shikaku also came back to his senses after his ecstasy.
"How do you know that the tribe is preparing a coup?!"
"You just said that the information about our upcoming coup has been leaked?"
"Kanzai, since you already have the Mangekyō Sharingan, is there anything you can't handle?"
Kanzai shook his head and sighed: "Grand Elder, don't worry about how I know that there is going to be a coup in the clan."
"There is a key piece of information you don't know. Uchiha Itachi also has the Mangekyō Sharingan."
Without waiting for Shikaku to be happy, Kanzai continued:
"…But he has been brainwashed by Konoha and has become Konoha's sword. It was he who reported the information about our upcoming coup to Konoha."
Shikaku looked shocked and stunned, shocked that Itachi, who was only 13 years old, was actually Mangekyō.
To his surprise, Itachi was actually on Konoha's side:
"Why!?"
Although each Uchiha is unruly, most of them have a strong sense of belonging to their family.
He really couldn't understand why Itachi wouldn't help his family or Konoha.
"This is a long story. Our Uchiha clan is already in danger. If Konoha takes action first, our Uchiha clan will be finished."
"We need to strike first!"
Although Shikaku still has many doubts, what the "Mangekyō Sharingan" represents is strength and power.
Kanzai is a person who loves his family very much, so of course, he would not do anything without a purpose.
"Then I'll take you to find Fugaku now."
Shikaku grabbed Kanzai's hand and was about to go find Fugaku, after all, Fugaku is now the patriarch.
He pulled Kanzai, but Kanzai didn't move at all.
Kanzai held down the elder's hand and said in a deep voice:
"Great Elder, if Fugaku was reliable, our information about the coup would not have been leaked."
The Great Elder looked at Kanzai in astonishment, and seeing Kanzai's serious expression, he also sat down with a serious face.
"Fugaku bet too much on Minato. After Minato's accidental death, Fugaku lost everything."
"He agreed to the coup only because his people had already put him on the spot and he couldn't get down from it."
"We Uchiha have a common problem. The stronger the people, the more stubborn they are."
"Fugaku is, Itachi is, Shisui is too."
"And the only thing they have in common is that they all have Mangekyō Sharingan."
The Great Elder looked shocked: "Fugaku and Shisui too!?"
Kanzai waved his hand slightly tiredly, which didn't suit his age at all, and he looked very mature.
But the Great Elder did not think anything was wrong. Instead, he calmed down and continued to listen to Kanzai.
"Shisui naively thought that the family and Konoha could coexist, and he cowardly committed suicide, putting all the pressure on Itachi, who was only 11 years old."
"Itachi is flattered by the Third Hokage every day and refuses to admit his defeat. Now he has to become the village's sword to protect his brother Sasuke."
"Fugaku never talked to Itachi, but naively believed that Itachi would definitely stand on the family's side, so he safely sent Itachi to be a double agent."
"They don't communicate with anyone. They think they are right. If they can't think of a solution, then other tribesmen can't think of one either."
"This self-righteous arrogance is the root cause that pushed our Uchiha clan to the edge of the cliff."
Shikaku listened to Kanzai's analysis calmly, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Kanzai revealed great appreciation.
There are many Uchiha clan members with high martial arts skills, but very few with high intelligence.
There are almost no people with high political awareness...
Kanzai said these words to show his level and value to the great elder.
In other words, Kanzai is not only a strong Mangekyō Sharingan master but also a qualified leader.
You know, Kanzai is only 17 years old now. Although he is strong, he will have little say if he has no support.
Kanzai poured himself another glass of water: "It is very likely tonight..."
"Konoha is about to take action against us."
The Great Elder's expression was full of bloodshot eyes and his blood was boiling.
"I will nominate you as an elder now so that it will be easier for you to command."
The Great Elder believes that now they have no choice but to fight to the death, and Kanzai of the Mangekyō Sharingan is their strongest trump card.
Kanzai shook his head slightly: "It's better to outsmart it than to fight hard..."
"Itachi is just brainwashed, he is not hopeless."
"Of course, it would be best to let a genius like this return home."
"If Itachi returns to his loyalty, the clan's crisis can be easily resolved."
The Great Elder's eyes sparkled.
"Kanzai, what's your plan!?"
Kanzai said calmly: "Konoha can't possibly take action during the day. The earliest action will be tonight."
"We still have a day to prepare."
"Great Elder, please gather all those troublemakers and powerful clansmen first. I will come over in two hours."
"Remember, keep it a secret from Fugaku first."
The Great Elder was also infected by Kanzai's calm tone. He glanced at Kanzai, who looked exhausted.
"Go and rest for a while, I'll make the arrangements."
Kanzai nodded slightly and stood up and left.
Kanzai didn't have any particular like or dislike for Itachi.
Many people determine their stance based on right and wrong, while others determine right and wrong based on their stance.
Kanzai doesn't care about right or wrong, only success or failure!
