"The day the other Kages depart shall be the day we initiate our action," Fugaku declared, his eyes brimming with hatred and anger. In canon, Fugaku was unjustly held responsible for the Uchiha Clan's planned coup, despite his intentions not being as resolute as his clan mbers. However, the current circumstances have altered the situation.
Fugaku's humiliation and mockery during the Vote of Confidence have kindled an indomitable rage within him. Such sha is intolerable even for soone as indecisive as Fugaku, particularly considering his proximity to achieving the position of Hokage. Once the flas of ambition are ignited, they are challenging to extinguish.
Moreover, the Uchiha Clan's present strength and prestige exceed that of the canon. This further fuels Fugaku's refusal to accept such humiliation, intensifying his determination to rebel. With Fugaku expressing his coup intentions, the elite mbers of the Uchiha Clan, excluding three individuals, were instantly filled with excitent.
"Very well!" exclaid one.
"Finally…! Finally, we can retaliate!" cried another.
"I've had enough of those scoundrels; it's ti for them to witness the fury of the Uchiha!" declared a third.
As the excitent gradually subsided, Fugaku shifted the conversation, asking, "Have the tasks I assigned been completed?"
Uchiha Minoru nodded and reported, "I have followed your instructions, Fugaku-sama, and visited the Konoha prison. I have made a deal with the incarcerated shinobi there. They are willing to support us as long as we free them." The majority of these prisoners have been locked away for years, so it's expected that they have lost much of their strength. While they may not provide significant assistance in the coup, if strategically utilized, they can beco a troubleso force. Fugaku was satisfied with Minoru's work and comnded him, saying, "Good." He then turned his attention to his second subordinate.
Uchiha Naoto continued, "As per your instructions, I have covertly recruited a group of bounty hunters and wandering swordsn for our cause. Their numbers are more than sufficient, and they can serve as cannon fodder to distract the other Chunin and genin." Despite the Uchiha Clan's abundance of elite mbers, their numbers of chunin and genin are not enough to contend with Konoha Village's entire military force, including the ANBU. Fugaku, unwilling to sacrifice his own n as re pawns, went to the extent of recruiting hundreds of genin and chunin-level bounty hunters, rogue shinobi, and wandering swordsn.
Fugaku nodded in satisfaction and acknowledged their efforts, saying, "Very good." He then turned his attention to his third subordinate.
Uchiha Tanaka expressed his apology, "Forgive , Fugaku-sama, for I have failed. I attempted to establish contact with Deidara, but he denied any affiliation with Amatsukami and was unwilling to help us get in touch with them… It seems we won't be able to convince those two Homusubi to join our cause."
It was known that two mbers of Amatsukami had Uchiha lineage and had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan. Fugaku had hoped to enlist their aid in the coup, believing that their involvent would strengthen the Uchiha Clan and facilitate the overthrow of the Hokage Faction. However, contacting Amatsukami seed impossible without their voluntary cooperation. The only hope lay with Deidara, who was rumored to be associated with Dojin, but since he denied being Dojin, it was impossible to ascertain his true identity.
Realizing that this part of the plan wouldn't work, Fugaku waved it off, saying, "Forget it, let's focus on other matters. We will address the matter of Amatsukami later." His expression turned solemn as he continued, "Now, let us discuss the battle plan. In order for the coup to succeed, we must target three key points: Godai Hokage Hyuga Kuroto, Sandai Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, as well as the two mbers of the Elder Council, Utatane Koharu and Senju Tsunade. Additionally, we must breach Hatake Kakashi and the ANBU base. Once these three targets are successfully dealt with, we won't need to worry about the rest."
Upon hearing Fugaku's words, Uchiha Tanaka spoke up, "Fugaku-sama, please allow to handle Hyuga Kuroto. He has repeatedly humiliated the Uchiha in the past, and he needs to face the consequences."
Tanaka's words made Fugaku enter a contemplative state. From his perspective, although Hyuga Kuroto might not be as strong as himself or Shisui, he possessed considerable skill and cunning. After all, Kuroto had not only defeated Shisui but had also bested eight Jonin-level Uchiha mbers a few years ago. Fugaku recognized the possibility that Tanaka might not be able to swiftly deal with Kuroto.
Observing Fugaku's hesitation, Tanaka quickly interjected, "Fugaku-sama, I take responsibility for my previous failure. Please allow to redeem myself by putting an end to Hyuga Kuroto… I swear on the na of the Uchiha that I will kill him!"
However, before Tanaka could finish his vow, Itachi, who had remained silent throughout, interrupted, "Otou-sama… let handle Godai Hokage."
Noticing Itachi's desire to take on the task of killing Godai Hokage, Fugaku pondered for a mont before nodding, "Very well… Itachi, I entrust his fate to you." Fugaku believed that Itachi possessed the intellect to outmaneuver Hyuga Kuroto swiftly.
Fugaku was well aware of Itachi's capabilities. Although Itachi lacked the Mangekyō Sharingan, he excelled in all other aspects, surpassing any other Uchiha clan mber, including Shisui. Fugaku even contemplated whether Shisui's strategic mind surpassed his own, musing, "I wonder how Itachi developed such remarkable strategic prowess." It was clear to Fugaku that Itachi's brilliance stemd from his own natural talent, rather than any influence from himself or Shisui.
Confident in Itachi's abilities, Fugaku assigned the task of dealing with Hyuga Kuroto to his eldest son. He then turned to Tanaka and instructed, "You will be in charge of the ANBU Base."
"As you command," Tanaka replied, showing no signs of disappointnt.
Next, Fugaku directed his attention to Naoto and issued the order, "You will take control of important facilities, including the Sealing Departnt, Intelligence Departnt, Konoha Hospital, and Konoha Ninja Academy."
"Understood," Naoto nodded in acknowledgnt.
Fugaku then turned his gaze to Minoru and tasked him with handling the Ino-Shika-Cho, Sarutobi Clan, and the villagers, emphasizing, "I don't want their interference."
"Consider it done, Fugaku-sama," Minoru affird with a nod.
Finally, Fugaku's intense gaze settled on Shisui and Shinichi as he spoke in a deep voice, "Shisui, Shinichi, the two of you will accompany to deal with Hatake Kakashi, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Utatane Koharu."
Although aged, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Utatane Koharu could pose a challenge, not to ntion Tsunade with her dical ninjutsu, Jiraiya with his sage techniques, and Kakashi with his Flying Thunder God. It was crucial for the success of the coup to neutralize them, which is why the three strongest mbers of the Uchiha Clan would confront them.
Shinichi and Shisui exchanged a glance and nodded in unison, affirming, "We understand."
Suddenly, Minoru interjected, "Fugaku-sama… we must also consider the Hyuga Clan. They are unlikely to remain passive and will likely interfere."
The others concurred with nods, as Fugaku had not ntioned anything about the Hyuga Clan thus far.
Hearing the ntion of the "Hyuga Clan," Fugaku chuckled and stated, "There is no need to worry about the Hyuga Clan. It seems that soone else holds a grudge against them and will take care of those individuals."
Upon hearing the ntion of an unknown ally, Shisui, Shinichi, and Itachi froze and questioned in unison, "Otou-sama, do we have additional allies supporting us?"
