Kawasaki waved his hand: "The current Konoha Police Force is more harmful than helpful to us. The first step is to abandon the police force's power."
"Fourth Elder, Danzo suffered such a big loss. He will definitely find fault with us tomorrow regarding the police force's authority."
"You suspend and recall all Uchiha clan members who have been complained about. If anyone asks, just stall, keep stalling."
The four elders completely admired Kawasaki, patting their chests and guaranteeing: "Vice Clan Head, you can rest assured. This is my forte."
"Third Elder, you have always been dedicated to using force to gain the position of Hokage. After seeing those future fragments, what are your thoughts?"
The Third Elder shook his head with a wry smile. Indeed, he had always been striving to use force to seize the Hokage's throne.
But in those future fragments, even after controlling the Nine-Tailed Fox and using the Sharingan, he couldn't change the fate of failure.
Coupled with that world-destroying Ninjutsu (Super Shinra Tensei), he was already disheartened.
"Since Konoha fears our power, then we'll simply relinquish all authority."
"Clan Head Fugaku, you must also find a suitable opportunity to resign as the head of the Police Force."
"We have offended many people for the sake of this power, causing too many people to forget the good of the Uchiha and think that everything is deserved."
"Now, we will retreat and advance."
"Third Elder, next, you need to organize those radical elements who are dissatisfied."
The Third Elder frowned: "Kawasaki, what are your plans?"
Not everyone can swallow their pride. For some Uchiha, retreating and advancing is simply not feasible.
Therefore, the hawk faction within the Uchiha clan emerged.
"Our Uchiha clan needs a 'rebellion' and a 'devastating blow'."
Kawasaki smiled meaningfully.
"Otherwise, how can we eliminate the negative influence of the Uchiha clan, and how can we let them rest assured to develop outside?"
The three elders looked at each other: "But these people aren't so easy to convince."
They three didn't know that Shisui had awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan and possessed the unique eye technique - Kotoamatsukami.
At this time, Kawasaki directly winked at Shisui.
Shisui understood. Vice Clan Head Kawasaki wanted to use his Kotoamatsukami.
Then, he explained his Kotoamatsukami ability to the clan head and the two elders.
"Another pair of Mangekyo?"
Both elders were shocked. The Mangekyo Sharingan is rare, and now two pairs have appeared at once.
Fugaku's heart was even more turbulent. Kawasaki, Shisui, and himself, the clan now has three pairs of Mangekyo Sharingan.
If it weren't for pushing Konoha to the front to take the bullets, the possibility of directly succeeding in the rebellion was very high. No wonder Danzo targeted Shisui's eyes.
If Fugaku knew that his son Itachi had also awakened the Mangekyo at this time, he would probably faint from excitement.
After the two elders left.
Kawasaki asked: "Itachi, Shisui's left eye is with you, right?"
Itachi replied: "As expected, the Vice Clan Head knows everything."
He summoned a ninja crow and took out the bottle containing the Sharingan.
"Shisui, we need to unite the Uchiha clan next, so you need to recover quickly."
"Yes!"
Shisui deeply understood the weight of his responsibility.
Now, there is a way to both protect the clan and avoid conflict with the village. He must do his utmost.
"Vice Clan Head, I suspect that outsiders are eyeing our Uchiha clan."
Kawasaki nodded: "You're talking about the person who investigated the shrine's secret stone, right?"
Itachi was stunned. He didn't expect the Vice Clan Head to have heard about it.
"This person will definitely stir up a huge storm in the ninja world in the future, but I still can't confirm his true identity."
"He has appeared by the shrine's secret stone many times. I suspect that the words on that stone have been altered. Don't believe them."
Kawasaki gave him a heads-up.
"Yes, Vice Clan Head, I'll keep that in mind."
.....
Late at night, Itachi, after finishing his discussion, walked out of the door and saw Uchiha Izumi sitting on the bench next to him.
Izumi was already dozing off, leaning against the chair.
Itachi remembered Izumi's death in the illusion.
His heart jolted.
Itachi stepped forward and gently patted Izumi's shoulder: "What are you doing here?"
Izumi looked up in a daze: "Is that Itachi?"
Then she woke up completely.
"No... nothing. I'm going back."
Izumi's cheeks flushed, and she hurriedly got up to leave.
"Izumi..."
Itachi called out to her.
"Hmm?"
Izumi turned around, looking lively and adorable under the dim light.
Itachi remained silent for a moment: "Let's go eat three-colored dumplings tomorrow."
"Thump! Thump!" Izumi's heartbeat was incredibly clear in the silent night.
The sudden happiness made her head feel like it was going to explode.
"Okay... okay!"
Izumi covered her face and ran away as if fleeing: "See you by the river tomorrow!"
Itachi watched Izumi walk away, a rare gentle smile appearing on his face.
.....
Root Base.
"Sir, the Third Hokage sent someone to retrieve Shisui's left eye."
Danzo gritted his teeth: "Go to the warehouse and get a Sharingan."
A Root member said: "But we only have four Sharingan left."
Danzo slammed his hand on the armrest: "Don't I know that?! If I don't give up an eye, I won't get past Hiruzen."
"Yes."
Danzo became more and more enraged, "Damn it! It's a huge humiliation!"
Danzo's face was dark. He had never been so outmaneuvered before.
He suffered such a big loss today, it was truly a case of "trying to steal the chicken and losing the rice."
He never expected that Fugaku, who had always been weak, would be so cunning.
He pushed forward an elder as a mouthpiece, and for the sake of Shisui's eye, he wasn't afraid to openly break with the village.
He had to teach them a lesson.
......
The sky was just beginning to brighten, and Fourth Elder Uchiha Yohei, who had only rested for a few hours, arrived at the Konoha Police Station early in the morning.
Every morning, the police station personnel would report to the station, rotate shifts, and if necessary, hold a small meeting.
When he reached his desk, a pile of complaint letters were waiting for him.
Most of the complaints accused the Uchiha of using excessive force.
His usual method was to make a transfer, moving the Uchiha members who were complained about to another part of the village.
This would resolve the complaints, and the Uchiha members who were complained about wouldn't be punished.
But today was different. He picked up the seal engraved with "Suspend for Reflection" and stamped it on the complaint letters, one after another.
To improve efficiency, Fourth Elder specially split off several shadow clones to help with the workload.
No wonder the shadow clone technique is called a divine technique. In a short while, all the complaint letters were processed.
Yohei carefully reviewed them. According to his method of handling them, about 80% of the police officers were dismissed.
All of them were from the hawk faction of the Uchiha, because they were tough and often offended people.
There were also some non-mainstream members who were dismissed.
After everyone gathered, Yohei read from the list: "Yuta, Yoto, Naoto, Akira, Kaito..."
"Everyone I just called out, due to complaint issues, you are all suspended for reflection..."
Before Yohei finished speaking, there was a murmur from below: "Fourth Elder! You're wrong? We're suspended?"
Yohei glared, and everyone immediately fell silent.
"You fools! What's all the noise! You have other arrangements! Now, all of you report to the Vice Clan Head!"
Then, he gave the people below a special look.
These people were all members of the hawk faction, and they usually followed the Third Elder's lead.
After last night's incident of Kawasaki forcefully demanding the return of Shisui's eye.
They saw Kawasaki's obvious hawk faction tendencies. Everyone understood.
