In the evening, only a faint yellow setting sun lingered in the sky. As the darkness deepened, the trainees who had completed their training for the day gathered their ninja gear and departed the school in small groups.
Unlike the others, Sasuke didn't rush to leave. The strange atmosphere in the Uchiha district had unsettled him, and the fact that his Otou-san (father) couldn't beco the Godai Hokage had fueled his determination to enhance his strength. Sasuke was resolute in restoring the Uchiha Clan's forr glory in his own unique way.
Usually, Kiyomi would wait for him until he was free, but it appeared that Izumi had important business with her, leading them to the Konoha Ninja Hospital. Sasuke found himself pondering what could be so significant that Izumi didn't even inform him.
However, Sasuke's thoughts were interrupted when Jiraiya suddenly appeared before him, accompanied by Naruto and Fū. In a show of respect, Sasuke promptly bowed, addressing Jiraiya as "Jiraiya-sama."
Jiraiya affectionately ruffled Sasuke's head and said with a smile, "Co with , Sasuke."
Curious, Sasuke stole a glance at Naruto and Fū from the corner of his eye and inquired, "Where are we going, Jiraiya-sama?"
"To Mount Myōboku!" Jiraiya replied.
Sasuke's eyes widened, recalling the significance of the place. "Oh, right!" he exclaid, nodding eagerly. He then followed Jiraiya as they left the Ninja Academy.
Izumi had committed to being a double agent for Konoha, with the condition that Sasuke and Kiyomi be protected at all costs. She understood that these two children were the ones Itachi cared about the most. Consequently, she was willing to risk everything to ensure their safety amid the chaos in the village.
To honor the agreent with Izumi and also as a precaution against Akatsuki, Jiraiya decided to take Sasuke to Mount Myōboku. Kuroto's orders further prompted him to bring Naruto and Fū along. This way, regardless of what transpired in Konoha that night, Mount Myōboku would remain a secure sanctuary, shielded from the turmoil.
…
In the Uchiha district, the streets appeared unusually cold compared to usual tis. The shops closed their doors earlier than usual, leaving only a few Uchiha clansn sporadically walking the streets. However, at the Naka Shrine, several Uchiha clansn fully prepared for war were gathered in a secret room. Silence pervaded the room as they patiently waited for sothing.
Suddenly, an Uchiha figure swiftly arrived at the Torii gate of the Naka Shrine and hastened toward the secret room. Once inside, the Uchiha genuflected and reported, "Fugaku-sama, it has been confird that the Yondai-Kages and their entourage have left Konoha in the early morning… though, the people we sent to follow them until they left the Land of Fire lost track of their parties one after another… which is a bit concerning."
Upon hearing that the Yondai-Kages and their entourage had left the village, the Uchiha Jonin in the room imdiately geared up, as they considered the last obstacle to be gone. However, Fugaku, seated on the main chair, furrowed his brow. The fact that their surveillance had been thrown off made him uneasy, as it felt like the situation was slipping out of control, sothing he disliked.
Uchiha Minoru offered an analysis, "Considering the rampant activities of the Akatsuki organization, the Yondai-Kages must be extrely vigilant while returning to their respective villages. It's reasonable for our people to have been thrown off; after all, we didn't send any Uchiha after them. The ones we sent were just rogue individuals who wouldn't have been able to keep up with the Yondai-Kages and their entourage."
Fugaku pondered Yusuke's analysis and nodded in agreent, "That makes sense."
With that issue addressed, the focus shifted to another matter. The passionate Uchiha Jonin in the hall urged Fugaku to give the order to fight back, as their anger, which had been suppressed for too long, reached a boiling point.
"Patriarch, please give the order!"
"It's ti for us to fight back!"
"Yes, patriarch, please give the order!"
"We should settle the score with those ungrateful bastards!"
The fervor and ambition in their hearts were palpable, and Fugaku, filled with fury as well, stood up and spoke with conviction, "Konoha was founded by our noble Uchiha; it belongs to us!"
The clansn echoed his sentints passionately: "That's right!" "Patriarch is right!" "Konoha belongs to us!" "Konoha belongs to the Uchiha!"
Their collective determination to reclaim what they perceived as their rightful place in Konoha fueled their resolve to take action against those they considered ungrateful and to assert the Uchiha Clan's position in the village.
Fugaku's piercing gaze swept over each clansman, his voice filled with determination. He addressed the long-standing grievances of the Uchiha Clan, "Ever since the village was established, we have faced unfair treatnt, being excluded from the central politics of Konoha. Despite our silent endurance, our passivity was mistaken for acceptance of our suppression."
He recounted the history of the Uchiha district being relocated to the outskirts of Konoha due to the fear of their power. Yet, the elders continued to escalate their oppression, squeezing the Uchiha further each day. Despite enduring the suppression for the sake of Konoha's stability and safety, the clan faced even greater humiliation, mocked, and disrespected in front of the entire village and the Shinobi World.
Fugaku emphasized that while they could tolerate the suppression, they couldn't bear the humiliation brought upon the Uchiha na. And now, their silence would end, giving way to a night of revolution.
"Tonight, we shall show them who we truly are! Tonight, we reveal the dangerous strength of the Uchiha Clan when pushed to the brink! Tonight, we demonstrate why the Uchiha is the most feared clan in the Shinobi World! Tonight marks a night of great revolution!" Fugaku declared as his Mangekyō Sharingan was activated.
Pointing at his fellow clansn, he rallied their spirits, "Together, we shall overthrow the entire village, unleash the hatred in our hearts, and send those rotten leaders to their graves! Will you follow !?"
In unison, the clansn responded, "We are with you, Fugaku-sama!"
Fugaku's fierce grin mirrored the determination of his clansn as he proclaid, "Tonight, the na of Uchiha shall be etched into the annals of history as we restore the power and glory of our clan!"
"For the glory of Uchiha!"
"For the glory of Uchiha!" "For the glory of Uchiha!" "For the glory of Uchiha!" … and so on, the fervent chants echoed through the room, each voice filled with unwavering resolve.
As Fugaku received the unified response from his clansn, he nodded with satisfaction and proceeded to issue orders. When all the instructions were given, he motioned for them to prepare for what was to co.
As the clansn exited the secret room one by one, only Fugaku, Shisui, and Shinichi remained. Fugaku knew he needed to address Shisui personally. He looked at him with a commanding voice, acknowledging the difficulty of the situation, "Shisui, you have witnessed everything firsthand. You understand that we have no other choice. I know this is hard for you, but you must comprehend that we must do this!"
Shisui nodded, expressing his loyalty to the Uchiha Clan, "Yes, Fugaku-sama. I have made my decision. Rest assured, I will do what's necessary for the glory of the Uchiha Clan."
Fugaku observed an unprecedented determination in Shisui's eyes, satisfied that Shisui had committed himself to their cause. He acknowledged Shisui's dedication and cautioned them both, "Very well, now go and prepare. The adversaries we face won't be easy."
Both Shisui and Shinichi nodded in agreent and left the shrine to fulfill their tasks. Fugaku remained alone, quietly preparing himself for the impending events.
After so ti, Fugaku left the Naka Shrine and began making his way toward his house. This ti, his plans for a coup were not solely motivated by the voice of the clan; the humiliation the Uchiha had suffered before the entire Shinobi World had fueled Fugaku's own hatred and desire for change.
As he walked through the gloomy and cold streets of the Uchiha district, he noticed the setting sun on the horizon. The sight stirred sothing within him, and he whispered, "This is the last night of our suffering. From tomorrow, I will usher in a new era for the Uchiha!"
His determination to bring change to the Uchiha Clan was unwavering, and he was ready to embark on the path he had chosen, no matter the consequences.
Once the flas of ambition were ignited, they were difficult to extinguish.
The Uchiha Clan was now united in their purpose, ready to take a stand and reclaim their pride and honor. The weight of their past suppression would drive their actions tonight, and the course of Konoha's history would be forever altered.
The stage was set for a night of reckoning, as the Uchiha Clan prepared to make their mark in the annals of ti, fueled by the determination to restore their rightful place in Konoha and the Shinobi World.
"For the glory of Uchiha!"
…
As Shisui returned to his ho, he gazed out of the window at the night gradually darkening outside. He took a mont of silence to ntally prepare himself for the montous events about to unfold. Determination etched on his face, he donned a gold-threaded black cloak and adorned a fire-patterned mask.
In the quiet of his ho, he whispered, "This is the last night of our suffering… from tomorrow, Kuroto-san and Itachi will usher in a new era for the Uchiha!"
"For the glory of Uchiha!"
