Chapter 516: Prelude to Trouble!
Chapter 516: Prelude to Trouble!
At the Uchiha Clan Leader's Mansion.
A serene atmosphere enveloped the place, and even the occasional cries of agony couldn't shatter the tranquility.
In a moonlit chamber, two figures knelt facing each other, as if awaiting something.
Footsteps echoed.
The two figures emerged from the shadows of the chamber (Uchiha Meika had sent Yuzuya Quan to the evacuation point).
Dressed in a gray casual outfit, Uchiha Fuyuki, with his broad face and stern eyes, looked up and recognized the visitors.
"How could it be you?"
His tone conveyed extreme surprise.
"The matters outside have nothing to do with us, but your prideful son is about to arrive!"
Tang Ping's words were pointed.
Both sides seemed to be playing a guessing game, but their communication was straightforward.
Uchiha Fuyuki thought it was the village's higher-ups taking action, so he was surprised to see them. Tang Ping's response, however, indicated that his son was responsible.
"I see. It seems he chose that side," Uchiha Fuyuki sighed.
He had anticipated this.
"This ungrateful brat, even an 'outsider' like me can't bear to watch his actions. I have a suggestion!"
Tang Ping spoke with hidden meaning, leaving Uchiha Fuyuki unable to refute, even if he was furious inside.
Because it was the truth.
Perhaps Itachi was a hero from the village's perspective, but from the Uchiha Clan's standpoint, he was undoubtedly a traitor worthy of death.
"Then, what is the purpose of your Shell Organization?"
Uchiha Fuyuki didn't respond but asked suspiciously.
The organization had appeared during the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox incident, and now they were here again. He felt it was too coincidental.
"Didn't I say I have a suggestion?" Tang Ping answered indirectly. "The people of Konoha have forgotten the Uchiha's strength. Tonight is the perfect stage. Don't you agree?"
He spoke persuasively.
"What do you mean?"
Uchiha Fuyuki furrowed his brows, not understanding the meaning.
"Anyway, since you're already prepared to die, why not demonstrate the power of the Sharingan to the village and make them value your son more in the future?"
Tang Ping spoke bluntly.
He truly looked down on them.
One moment they were doves, and the next, they were hawks, yet they couldn't stick to either side, completely squandering a winning hand.
"I won't listen to someone like you!"
Uchiha Fuyuki, despite finding Tang Ping's words reasonable, ultimately chose to refuse.
He still had deep feelings for the village and was unwilling to cause damage under the premise of a guaranteed loss.
"Is that so?" Tang Ping's tone carried a hint of malice. "If you follow my suggestion, a group of clansmen could escape. What would you choose?"
The people they intended to take away could be used as leverage to force Uchiha Fuyuki to listen.
"What?" Uchiha Fuyuki's expression froze, then he demanded, "What is the true purpose of your Shell Organization, and who is behind you?"
He was certain the organization had ulterior motives, perhaps hired by some force.
After all, they were a 'mercenary organization,' and the Fire Country's lord had successfully employed them before. It wasn't impossible for someone to hire them to carry out a mission in Konoha.
The Heavenly Castle was the prime suspect.
"We were hired by the Mist Ninja to take away a group of your people!"
Tang Ping 'honestly' admitted that their Shell Organization had accepted the Mist Ninja's mission to take away a group of people.
Passing the buck!
After all, while the Shell Organization would make a move and cause trouble, they were merely doing a job for money, innocent and honest.
"Mist Ninja... Is it the Second Elder?"
Uchiha Fuyuki frowned, unable to fathom why they would take action and have a connection with the Second Elder.
The Second Elder hadn't shown up at the gathering but instead held a celebration for his wife. Uchiha Fuyuki had thought he was disregarding the bigger picture, but now it seemed the Second Elder was doing it intentionally.
Bang! Bang!
Just then, several dazzling fireworks rose into the sky, illuminating the night.
"The plan has begun!" Tang Ping glanced out the window at the night sky's fireworks and continued, "If you don't follow my suggestion, those clansmen won't be able to escape the village. As the clan leader, would you rather watch them die than take action?"
At this moment, he felt like complaining.
You're really willing to throw away your clan and family for the sake of the village, huh?
I wonder what kind of karma the Uchiha clan has accumulated to elect someone as eccentric as you as their leader.
Fortunately, Uchiha Meika isn't here; otherwise, I'd be worried that she wouldn't be able to hold back and would end up killing him.
This clan leader is no different from his own son, who betrays his family.
No wonder Uchiha Itachi turned out the way he did; it must be due to the influence of his father, who is under the sway of the Blazing Sun Will.
For instance, the Second Pillar, who wasn't affected by the Blazing Sun Will, has a much more normal outlook on life.
Unfortunately, he was later defeated by Prince Minato's verbal jutsu and personality correction punch, which left him in a sorry state.
"How can I trust that what you're saying is true?" Uchiha Fuyuki asked through gritted teeth.
In his heart, he had already made up his mind that the other party wasn't lying to him.
Otherwise, the Second Elder wouldn't have risked his reputation, and the other party's great sacrifice was proof enough of that.
"You had no choice, and this doesn't affect your original decision, does it?" Tang Ping looked at him with disdain.
Whether they die without resisting in the hands of Daidoshi or after putting up a full-scale resistance, the outcome is the same.
"You're right!" Uchiha Fuyuki nodded.
"Also, if your wife wants to leave..." Tang Ping suddenly turned to look at Uchiha Meichun, who was quietly kneeling to the side, and gave her a hint.
He truly admired this woman.
As a wife and mother, she was extremely competent and could be considered a great woman, but unfortunately, she was married to a good-for-nothing man.
"My home is here, and I don't want to be separated from my husband!" Uchiha Meichun's refusal was firm, her determination unwavering.
"That's a pity. Have you made your decision, Clan Leader Fuyuki?" Tang Ping pressed.
The time was almost up, and Daidoshi should be arriving soon.
"Alright!" Uchiha Fuyuki made up his mind.
In reality, if Tang Ping had revealed his true identity, things wouldn't have been this complicated.
But since it was Uchiha Fuyuki, if he got carried away and exposed their identities for the sake of the Blazing Sun Will, all their carefully laid plans would be ruined. That's why they could only use the Shell Organization's identity to coerce and entice him.
Only someone like the Second Elder, who had dedicated his entire life to the Uchiha clan, would they dare to reveal their true identities.
"Wait a moment, and let's set the battlefield here, shall we?" Tang Ping unfolded a Konoha map and marked a location with a red cross.
"Sarutobi Clan Territory?" Uchiha Fuyuki instantly recognized the location marked with the red cross.
Indeed, Tang Ping had set his sights on the Sarutobi clan.
The legendary three thousand-strong Sarutobi Army, according to his investigation, was a complete fabrication.
Because there were only around two thousand of them!
And this number, even for the Uchiha clan, including the common clan members of the Eldest Branch before their migration, was only around four thousand.
Note that this number includes ordinary clan members.
If you only count the ninjas, the entire Uchiha clan might only have around a thousand.
This is the 'aristocratic' Uchiha clan!
Although the Sarutobi clan's ninja quality is far inferior to the Uchiha's, such a large number of ninjas is still a terrifying story.
Currently, the officially registered number of ninjas in the Heian Tower is also around two thousand.
In other words, the Sarutobi clan is on par with the Uchiha clan, who can rival an entire village.
Therefore, this time, Tang Ping plans to expose this fact and create some trouble in the process.
Of course, this is also to buy some time.
The bigger the disturbance here, the longer it will take for Konoha to discover the fleeing Uchiha clan members.
If they were to find out, they would undoubtedly pursue them immediately.
After all, a group of Uchiha carrying the seeds of vengeance and leaving the village is a significant threat to Konoha.
Thus, they must buy time for them.
Tang Ping's intention to cause trouble isn't just for entertainment; it also serves a purpose.
As a result, Konoha will witness a grand spectacle tonight.
