Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan
chapter-106

Konoha Village, Uchiha Clan.

Uchiha Shinichi knelt outside the Patriarch’s mansion with a solemn face.

The death of Uchiha Kurumi has changed him into a cold and silent person, but he still didn’t give up hope, because Shinichi firmly believes that the glorious Uchiha Clan would definitely not let the damn murderer go away.

Uchiha Shinichi firmly believes that the people of the Uchiha Clan will never die in vain!

Shinichi looked at the closed door in front of him with a hint of expectations in his eyes.

Currently, a meeting of the elite shinobi of the Uchiha Clan is being held past that door. The elites are discussing how to resolve Uchiha Kurumi’s murder at the hands of the Root Shinobi.

While waiting for the meeting to complete, Shinichi frowned at the strangeness of his Sharingan.

Shinichi has noticed that his Sharingan has been acting strangely ever since Kurumi’s death, sometimes it is a little uncontrollable and his insight has also increased significantly in the past few days.

If such a thing happened in the past, Shinichi would have definitely been very happy, and even arrogantly show it off to the other Uchiha, but with Kurumi’s death, even if his pupil power increased, he has no mood to focus on such meaningless things.

…

Inside Patriarch’s Mansion.

Shisui was sitting at a corner with a tired expression.

This exhaustion was by no means caused due to maintaining a Shadow Clone to cover for Kuroto’s absence for the past few days. All he feels is mental exhaustion and worry because the situation between the Uchiha Clan and Hokage-Clan is at a more acute point.

If something isn’t done, then no doubt, the two sides will fall apart.

And Shisui was able to sense the involvement of the third party in this scenario of Kurumi’s death.

Firstly, Shisui also agrees with Kuroto-San’s judgment that, the Advisory Council wouldn’t want to test Uchiha Clan’s patience before the Village successfully signs the peace treaty with the Cloud Village.

Another reason being that Danzo-Sama had no reason to issue an order to kill Uchiha Kurumi. Kurumi’s Sharingan was also at 2 tomoe state, so Danzo-Sama wouldn’t have done it for the Sharingan.

And even if, by some chances he did give such an order, then with the style of how Root Anbu operates, they would definitely go for a group attack, a quick ambush, and assassination, it is impossible to let Shinichi discover the incident and then flee in panic.

‘No matter how I think about it, it most certainly is a trap!’ – thought Shisui.

Kuroto-San did mention that there might be Uchiha descendant outside the village planning to harm the Uchiha Clan and Konoha, although Shisui understood that it could be possible, he still felt a little absurd about it, but upon rethinking and with how the pieces of the puzzle involving the Kyuubi’s Rebellion, and now Uchiha Kurumi’s death are being connected one by one leading to an unfavorable situation of the Uchiha Clan, Shisui has started to believe that might just be the case.

Even he has felt that there is some third party, hiding behind the scenes and secretly controlling everything for the Uchiha’s doom!

“Danzo’s Root Anbu dared to do such a thing and now Danzo refuses to hand over the murderer, this is a provocation to the Uchiha Clan, Faguku-Sama!”

“Yes, if we spare them, then next time he’ll again do something like this!”

“Moreover, other Clans will also believe that the Uchiha Clan is a coward that bowed before that piece of trash!”

“We can’t let go of this matter!”

All the Uchiha ninjas in the meeting room were agitated at Danzo’s dirty means.

The Patriarch of the Uchiha Clan also had a serious face as ever.

“Silence!” – With Fugaku’s order, everyone quieted down.

After pondering a little Fugaku glanced in Shisui’s direction and asked, “What was Sandaime’s response?”

Bowing his head, Shisui replied with a helpless expression, “Please forgive me Clan head, but my request for a meeting was denied.”

Since the Anbu Team-11 was temporarily suspended, so Shisui lost his right to directly meet Hokage-Sama. Therefore, if he wants to meet Hokage, he needs to request a meeting appointment similar to all the other ninjas.

However, this time Shisui’s request was straightforwardly rejected by Sandaime.

Hearing Shisui’s reply; Fugaku’s expression darkened.

Even Uchiha Fugaku can judge that something is amiss in this situation, but whether this matter is really related to Danzo or not, the Konoha Council’s untrust in the Uchiha Clan is clearly displayed here, if this continues, the Uchiha and Hokage-Clan will eventually reach a point when there would be no option left other than the Rebellion.

Unlike the other people of the Uchiha Clan, Uchiha Fugaku is clearer about the situation of the Village.

Although Sandaime’s strength has begun to decline due to old age, he is still one of the strongest shinobi of Konoha Village with a Kage Class strength, even Uchiha Fugaku himself with the Mangekyou is not sure to win against Sandaime.

Coupled with the presence of the other three members of the Advisor Council, the Sannin Jiraiya, as well as other Anbu and Root elites, it is nearly impossible for the Uchiha Clan to successfully overthrow the Hokage Clan.

More importantly, the intention of the other Konoha Clans is also ambiguous, if the Uchiha Clan is in a dilemma, they might just support the Uchiha, but if the Uchiha were to initiate a Coup D’état, Fugaku can be more than sure that they will never support the Uchiha Clan. And just to make the matters worse, most of the Clans might even side with the Hokage Clan without any hesitation.

Therefore, Fugaku is also not sure what to do!

Looking at the agitated faces of the people, Fugaku sighed helplessly.

Fugaku doesn’t want to restore the glory of the Uchiha Clan and become the Hokage at the cost of his people’s lives. As someone who has awakened the Mangekyou, he knows full well what is the pain of losing your loved ones.

Although Fugaku doesn’t express this, he is really worried about Uchiha’s situation. If such a situation continued, the whole Uchiha Clan will be destroyed…

…

Konoha Village, Hokage Office.

While a meeting was being held in the Uchiha Clan to discuss what to do about Uchiha Kurumi’s murder.

Another meeting was being held at the Hokage Office with the presence of Sandaime and the three Council Advisors.

Tuck… Tuck… Tuck…

Seeing the looks he was getting, Danzo tapped the cane on the ground in annoyance and said grumpily, “I said it already, this matter wasn’t under my instructions!”

Hearing Danzo’s answer, Utatane Koharu questioned with a cold expression, “Then how come a ninja of your Root killed the girl of the Uchiha Clan?”

After a slight hesitation, Danzo told the other three in the office about the exact situation reported to him by the Root ninja and added angrily, “I suspect that this incident was enacted by the Uchiha Clan!”

Listening to Danzo’s explanation and his analysis, Homura asked solemnly, “Do you have any evidence to prove your words?”

“I don’t have any and I don’t care! I have already said that this must be their enactment to threaten us!” with an angry roar, Danzo continued, “I say that the Uchiha are just trying to threaten us by causing unrest while the village is negotiating with the Cloud Village!”

Shimura Danzo has always been the person to play his cards while hiding behind the scenes and use others as his scapegoat, this time, he was inexplicably blamed for the death of an Uchiha brat, so this made him extremely annoyed.

Although he vaguely realized that there might be some hidden forces manipulating strings from the shadows, now Danzo can only point his finger towards the Uchiha. As for who the person hidden in the shadows is?

That is another matter altogether, and he swears to find the person who dared to be more shameless than him!

Danzo’s words made Sandaime a little upset.

The peace talks with the cloud village have been going unsuccessfully. It has already been several months since the conflict subsided but the differences between the representatives of both parties have made the negotiations quite unproductive.

As the attacked party, Sandaime’s approval of the peace agreement has already put him in a tough spot, if he were to make concessions based on the terms stated by the Raikage-kid, it would be difficult to suppress the criticism he would receive even with his prestige as the longest-reigning Hokage, especially when you have Shimura Danzo as your second in command!

However, Cloud Village’s attitude has been very tough and they have been continuously refusing to compensate the Konoha Village for the losses, and this has made Sandaime more annoyed.

Putting down his tobacco pipe on the ash-tray at the side, Sandaime stated firmly, “This matter you have reported just now, leaving out your personal analysis, must be clearly explained to the Uchiha Clan, no questions asked, I do not want any chaos in the village during the peace talks, is that clear?”

Listening to Hokage’s order, Danzo asked coldly, “What explanation should I give them?”

Sandaime also knew that forcing Danzo too much is also counterproductive, so said with a calm voice, “Let your Root ninja go and explain the whole situation to Uchiha Fugaku personally. I believe that Fugaku is both wise and calm enough to not take any stupid action!”

“I will arrange it!”

Narrowing his eyes, Danzo nodded while gritting his teeth with a frustrated expression at the fact that he’ll have to bow to the despicable Uchiha Clan.

If only he was the Hokage instead of Hiruzen!

This time Shimura Danzo lost half of the battle…
