Chapter 148 147: Uchiha Civil Strife 【Please Subscribe! 】
Uchiha Hoho was taken aback, he didn't expect Jiri to throw the question back to him.
Soon, his eyes became sharper, and he said in a deep voice: "I hope the patriarch can lead the people to leave Konoha and rebuild a village that belongs only to our Uchiha people!"
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the crowd, some had ugly expressions, and some had meaningful faces.
"I also hope that the patriarch will take us away from Konoha. Such a Konoha is not worthy of our Uchiha clan to work for!"
Other defectors echoed their voices.
"Konoha is crossing the river and demolishing bridges. We can no longer tolerate our Uchiha clan. Even if we don't leave now, sooner or later we will be forced to have no place to stand."
"Master Madara was right. If the Uchiha tribe continued to stay in Konoha, it would inevitably usher in the crisis of genocide. Perhaps we should have left with Madara-sama back then."
"Go? It's not that easy!"
Someone sneered disdainfully.
"Konoha was established by our Uchiha clan, and 'leaf' refers to Uchiha, so it should be us who expelled the rest of the ninja from Konoha. Why should we go?"
"I agree! Those who are not my race must have a different heart. The reason why Uchiha received chilling treatment is all because Sarutobi Hiruzen joined forces with the major ninja clans to promote it. We only need to eradicate all those who are hostile to us, Konoha It's still our Uchiha's Konoha!"
"..."
Like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, the atmosphere in the ancestral hall was instantly turbulent. The defectors rushed to express their opinions. If there were other Konoha villagers here, they would definitely be horrified.
Uchiha is not a ferocious beast, but a group of ferocious beasts. Over the years, everyone has endured too much oppression and aggrieved. If the cage is lost, no one knows what this group of ferocious beasts will do.
Not all Uchiha people want to defect, and there are also affinity factions among Uchiha.
Although members of the pro-friendly faction had no intention of becoming an enemy of Konoha, they did not refute the defectors, but kept silent, because they knew Jiri's position very well, and it was absolutely impossible for Jiri to agree with them.
But as the remarks of the defectors became more and more radical, the members of the pro-friendly group gradually felt that something was wrong, and suddenly realized that this was a premeditated forced palace by the other party, and could no longer remain silent.
"Have you lived in peace for too long!"
An old man with a long beard blushed and scolded, glaring at the defectors.
"What is the current situation in the ninja world? Even a three-year-old child can understand it. No one knows when the second ninja world war will break out. How dare you encourage people to betray Konoha at this time?"
Uchiha Fenghuo didn't back down: "Why don't you dare! Come when Ninja War comes, our family has never been afraid of war!"
"Konoha originally belonged to us Uchiha, Sarutobi Hiruzaru is not benevolent, can't we resist?"
"You want your family to perish!" the bearded old man was heartbroken.
"You are young, and you don't know how cruel the Warring States Period was. Even five or six-year-old children were sent to the battlefield. Although we are excluded in Konoha, at least the children in the clan can grow up safely. teetering on the brink of death."
Uchiha Fenghuo sneered: "Hehe, do you think we are safe? Konoha now excludes us and dares to persecute us in the future. Do you want to wait until Sarutobi Hiruzen puts the butcher knife on our necks with his own hands? Regret for doing nothing?"
"It's nonsense! We can think of a better way to integrate into Konoha. Peace is hard-won, and it shouldn't and can't be destroyed."
"When did the Uchiha people become so bloodless? It's ridiculous to beg for mercy on the enemy who raised the butcher's knife at him."
The bearded old man was furious: "Don't scare me here, it's just your imagination. Can you guarantee that the tribe will be persecuted in the future!"
Uchiha Fenghuo sneered: "Then can you guarantee that the tribe will not be persecuted in the future? Answer me, coward!"
The bearded old man was trembling with anger, and pointed at the Uchiha beacon with trembling fingers: "If the family is really facing annihilation in the future, it must be caused by you defectors with evil intentions!"
The defectors were furious, and they all stood up: "Do you dare to say what you just said again!"
Members of the affinity faction flashed behind the bearded old man, and confronted Uchiha Fenghuo and others: "So what if you say what you say? You are all about instigating the family into war. Don't you have evil intentions, don't you mean that you are killing the people?"
"Fart!" The defectors were furious, "It is because of you lackeys who beg for mercy on the enemy that the enemy dares to ignore Uchiha less and less. You are all family traitors!"
"..."
A patriarchal succession ceremony suddenly turned into a family faction infighting.
Zhili stood on the high platform of the ancestral hall, expressionless, watching the performance in silence.
It wasn't until the verbal dispute between the two factions was not satisfying, and when there were signs of escalating into hands-on action, there was an indifferent voice from the high platform:
"Is it noisy enough?"
Everyone was taken aback, and turned to look at the woman on the high platform.
"Shut up when you've had enough noise," Zhili said.
The members of the pro-friendly faction headed by the bearded old man all bowed their heads in silence. They knew that Zhili's position was the same as theirs, and her opening was about to set the tone.
Uchiha Fenghuo gritted his teeth, still emotionally said: "Master Patriarch, Uchiha must not be humiliated, and he is not afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice. In the face of Konoha's persecution, standing up and resisting is our only way out. We must kill the people headed by Hiru Sarutobi Eradicate all the ninjas!"
Zhili nodded, "You're right."
Everyone was taken aback again, suspecting that they had hallucinations in their ears.
Uchiha Beacon showed ecstasy——
"Since you are not afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice, it is up to you to eradicate Sarutobi Hiruzen. Go now and see if you can enter the Hokage Building by yourself." Zhili continued.
The joy on Uchiha Fenghuo's face quickly stiffened in astonishment.
"Master Patriarch, I can't accomplish great things by myself..."
"You can't accomplish great things by yourself, so you have to take the whole clan to be buried with you, right?" Zhili interrupted him with an extremely cold expression.
Uchiha Hoho didn't say a word, looking at Jiri with deep disappointment in his eyes.
"Whether Uchiha will face a catastrophe in the future depends entirely on what we do now. As the patriarch, I only do three things, and I will abdicate immediately after these three things are done."
Hundreds of gazes fell on her face.
Zhili said calmly: "The first thing is to prevent the family from being unfairly treated. The second thing is to ease the relationship between the family and Konoha. The third thing is to eradicate dissidents who rebelled within the family."
The defector faction headed by Uchiha Fenghuo instantly changed their colors!
