Rebuilding Uchiha, Starting With Fugaku’s Resignation

the next day,

Uchiha Fugaku's resignation as clan leader and leader of the Konoha Guard caused an uproar in Konoha.

Hokage Building, among the Hokage offices.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed and said to Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Shiyu:

"Alas, this relocation of the tribe is a joint discussion between everyone. I have already protested to the elders, but I can't get rid of Danzo's insistence on going his own way."

"You must not have any misunderstandings. Konoha has absolutely no intention of targeting the Uchiha clan."

"This time to calm down the anger of the Uchiha clan, I regret that Fugaku has made such a big sacrifice. The position of clan leader is an internal matter of your Uchiha. It is not for me to interfere.

But you don’t have to resign as captain of the Konoha Guards. This is what I, the Hokage, say! "

Sarutobi Hiruzen believes that the reason why Uchiha Fugaku was forced to resign as clan leader and guard captain this time was because

It was because Uchiha Fugaku insisted on agreeing with Konoha's decision in order to give an explanation to the tribe.

Uchiha Fugaku opened his mouth, his face full of emotion:

"No need, Lord Hokage, I understand your difficulties, and I really do not have enough prestige to hold the position of Konoha's security captain."

Sarutobi Hiruzen slammed the table:

"Who said that! Chief Fugaku's achievements in the Guard are obvious to all! Konoha Guard, I can only trust you, Chief Fugaku!"

Uchiha Fugaku: "Hokage-sama!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Chief of the Fugaku clan!"

Uchiha Shiyu on the side looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen who kept applying eye drops to himself and sneered in his heart.

As a top Hokoku politician, Sarutobi Hiruzen can naturally see Uchiha Fugaku's cowardice.

This kind of wallflower is best suited to dismantle the tough Uchiha clan from within. How could he let Uchiha Fugaku be kicked out of the top power of the Uchiha clan?

Uchiha Shiyu is well known as the hawk representative of the Uchiha clan.

His several suggestions to Uchiha Fugaku destroyed Konoha F4's plan to suppress the Uchiha clan.

Fortunately, Uchiha Fugaku, a pig teammate, assisted, otherwise Uchiha would never have fallen to this point.

Seeing the two brothers who were so close to each other, Shiyu said coldly:

"Sir Hokage, it's not that we don't want the Fugaku clan leader to continue to serve as captain, it's because the people in the clan are really angry."

"At first, many people suggested that our Uchiha clan go to the front line to fight against Nine Tails. Unfortunately, the clan leader blocked them all by himself."

"As a result, people in the village now think that our Uchiha clan is cowardly before fighting, and even slander us as the mastermind behind the manipulation of Nine Tails."

"Can we bear this kind of grievance? Master Hokage, the duty of the Konoha Guard is to protect the village, but the former Fugaku clan leader backed down at such a critical moment."

"So he is simply not qualified to hold the post of Konoha Guardsman."

Shiyu paused for a moment and said quietly:

"Or... did the Fugaku clan leader receive any orders that made him choose to let our security team retreat to the background?"

"If this is really the case, I hope our village can stand up and clarify. After all, this kind of rumor really affects the harmony within our Konoha."

"If not, how can a cowardly character like the leader of the Fugaku clan hold such an important position as defending Konoha's base camp? You think so, Mr. Hokage?"

Uchiha Fugaku suddenly exposed the veins on his forehead when he heard Shiyu's sarcasm.

He received Danzo's order and was forced to stay behind the battlefield to evacuate the crowd.

But for the sake of harmony between the village and his tribe, he chose to conceal the matter.

Therefore, in the eyes of the tribesmen, retreating behind the scenes was all due to their own will, but in fact, they were taking the blame for Danzo.

Uchiha Fugaku looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen expectantly,

If the village stands up and clarifies, it will definitely put an end to the unfavorable comments in the village about Uchiha.

Although this will still cause dissatisfaction among the clan members,

But for the current situation, this method of handling should be more conducive to the stability and harmony of the village in the long run.

However, facing Fugaku's pleading eyes, Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes drifted away unconsciously.

He naturally knew the truth that the Uchiha clan was not involved in the front line.

But this incident was originally a plan to create a gap between the Uchiha clan and the various ninja clans in Konoha who suffered heavy losses in the Nine Tails Rebellion.

The current results are so impressive that the reputation of the Uchiha clan in Konoha has been brought to a freezing point.

Next, as soon as Uchiha's clan moved, the Uchiha clan was completely kicked out of the center of Konoha's power.

How could he take the blame for such a good thing that he couldn't find even with a lantern and take the blame from the Uchiha clan to himself.

Sarutobi Hiruzen coughed twice, pretended not to know anything, sighed and said:

"I see, there is such a reason here. Fugaku, I really have to talk about you here. Since the clan members all want to fight for Konoha, how can you stop them?"

Uchiha Fugaku was stunned:

"No, Lord Hokage, this is obviously an order from Lord Danzo..."
