Inside the secret chamber of Naka Shrine,
Many elders of the Uchiha clan sat around the table discussing their plans.
"Asahi, everything's ready, right?" One of the clan elders questioned a member of the nearby Uchiha clan.
The clan members bowed in front of the elder and reported,
"Yes, Eijiro-sama. We have secretly secured many kunai and secret weapons from the Hot Water Country. The preparations are ready, we just need orders from you."
Eijiro nodded at him and turned towards Fugaku.
"Fugaku, how are you preparing? If we want to take control of the village, then we have to deal with the Hokage and his Anbu bodyguards.
Have you gathered the necessary information on the matter? We have to finish him off in one hit or something else will explode out of proportion.
If it warns the other clans, then we should face the combined attacks of many other clans?"
Fugaku looked towards the group of clan elders.
'So, everything became like this. Father died of his illness, and I became the next clan head. But the elders of these clans manipulated the various clan members to gain power and control.
I don't even have a voice in this matter. It took a while to realize their ambitions. It's too late now, I can only play with them. I hope the Uchiha clan will not suffer much in this conflict.'
Fugaku nodded towards the group of clan elders and told them,
"My eldest son, Itachi Uchiha, joined Anbu a year ago. He had been gathering the necessary information all along. All Anbu patrol duties, team formations, members, and so on.
I'll call him to give you information."
Fugaku whispered something to the nearest jounin. Jounin walked out of the meeting room and came with Itachi behind him.
"Itachi, give intel to the clan elders."
Itachi bowed and greeted the clan elders. He took out a scroll from his pocket and gave it to Eijiro.
"This is the intel I gathered last year. There was detailed information about the Anbu members, their patrol duties, and even their jutsu. I've checked every last detail."
Eijiro read the scroll and rolled it up and gave it to another elder.
"You have a very talented son, Fugaku. He has grown into an amazing young man.
His intelligence and intelligence reminds me of your father, Fukashi Uchiha. He is a great man, but he has no ambition. Otherwise, we would not have fallen in such a state.
Let's show the strength of the Uchiha clan to this stupid old man of Konoha."
Eijiro clenched her fists.
"For the clan."
"Yes, for the clan." The other clan elders followed in his footsteps.
'So, he was the perpetrator of this incident.'
Itachi silently looked at Eijiro.
'I have to report this to Hokage-sama. The clan is on the verge of a coup. If this continues then a civil war will erupt in Konoha.
I can't let Sasuke suffer in the tribulation of civil war. I have to stop them.'
Itachi quietly retreated. Discussion continues.
Eijiro gathers all the Uchiha police and greets them.
"My Uchiha clan members, the village, have discriminated against us. Second Hokage Tobirama Senju hates us. He isolated us to the village limits.
We endure. We wholeheartedly serve the village, guarding the Konoha prisoners. We secured the village as Police, but what did we get in return?"
Eijiro clenched her fists and slammed her against the table.
"HATE AND LOSS. The villagers were afraid of us because of our greatness. They blamed the Nine-Tails incident on our clan. Forcing us to move to the outer limits of the village.
Not only that, they even left their loyal dogs on our tails. Many of you must have noticed the village dogs sniffing at our clan. They force us to be cornered, we must retaliate and restore the glory of the Uchiha clan."
Eijiro raised her hand excitedly.
"Yes, for the clan." All members of the Uchiha police force shouted in unison.
"For the clan ..."
"For the clan ..."
Fugaku stared at the Uchiha Police Department members with a conflicted look.
'They are a flock of sheep and Eijiro is their Shepherd. It's too late to make sense.
Before I could get the support of the clan members after taking the position of clan head, Ejiro had already influenced their opinion. I am a Clan head only in name.
Father, only if you are still alive; then things will not happen like this.'
Fugaku sighed and turned towards Eijiro.
"Eijiro clan chief, how long will it take to prepare for the final confrontation."
"So soon, it's going to happen. We'll arrange it in a week or two. I'll tell you later. For now, we will discuss intel and devise a strategy to deal with Hokage effectively."
The discussion continued as the clan elders planned a plan.
------------
Inside the Hokage's office, the,
Itachi bowed in front of Hiruzen as he reported.
"I have the latest information from my spy mission. I'd like to tell you about this matter."
-----------
Then, inside a private room next to the Hokage's office.
Hiruzen, Koharu, and Shimura sat around the table while listening to Itachi's report.
"If they are going to start a revolution and seize our power, we have no choice but to judge the Uchiha as a traitor of leaves!..." Koharu concluded.
"Don't rush into such a decision." Hiruzen.
"We must take action to avoid chaos." Homura agreed with Koharu.
"Even if we want to stop the Uchiha revolution, fighting the Uchiha is no easy task.
There must be some kind of strategy we can use!"
"We must join another clan and launch a surprise attack on the Uchiha from behind. It'll be over in no time."
Koharu presented her opinion.
"I want to finish it with words before forcing." Hiruzen headed towards Itachi and ordered.
"Itachi, give me time, even a little."
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
Itachi nodded and disappeared from his place.
-----------
Later inside Anbu Headquarters, the,
Shisui and Itachi bowed in front of Hiruzen as Itachi reported to Hiruzen.
"Hokage-sama! The Uchiha will begin their revolution next week. We have six days to stop this coup."
Hiruzen sighed and rubbed his forehead.
"I can't let the village fall so easily.This is my failure. If the coup begins, the village will be embroiled in a civil war.
Our strength will be greatly weakened, and other countries will not remain silent. They will use this opportunity to fight against Konoha. Konoha is the strongest Hidden village with the most resources.
If a coup were to occur, the Fourth Shinobi War would be imminent. But this time, it will be all Nations against the Land of Fire. I don't want an end like that."
Itachi continued his report.
���Hokage-sama, clan elder Uchiha Eijiro, was the culprit behind the coup. If we can deal with it, then we can stop the coup."
"Hmm. That might be a possibility. But I'm sure you're aware of the consequences of this decision."
Itachi nodded and continued.
"It would not be enough to quell the hatred formed among the members of the Uchiha clan. It would only inflame the flames and would definitely lead to a coup. So, we're just delaying the inevitable."
Shisui silently listened to their conversation as she was caught in a dilemma.
'Should I tell them about my Mangekyo Sharingan ability?... Izuna nii-san warned me not to reveal it.
He said, "The strength of your Sharingan is too great. It can lead to the greed of power-hungry people who will try to hunt you down to get your eyes on you.
So, don't show your eyes to anyone under any circumstances."
But I have to think of a solution to prevent the fall of the Uchiha clan.'
Shisui continued to ponder over the matter. After a moment of reflection, he concluded.
'For the sake of my family, my friends, and my clan. I have to do it.'
He turned towards Hiruzen and spoke,
"Hokage-sama! I have a solution to our problem."
"Well!"
Hiruzen was startled by Shisui's words. He wondered looking at Shisui.
"Explain!"
Shisui activates the Mangekyo Sharingan and reveals it to Hiruzen and Itachi.
Hiruzen was surprised to see the Mangekyo Sharingan.
Mangekyo Sharingan, the forbidden power of the Uchiha clan. The image of Madara Uchiha appeared in Hiruzen's mind and his spine shivered.
"My Mangekyo Sharingan ability allows me to control someone without their wisdom. I will use this ability on Eijiro and manipulate him to quell the revolution.
In this way, the Uchiha coup would be rejected. Then slowly, by manipulating Eijiro, the hatred of the Uchiha clan members will be extinguished."
"Hmmm..." Hiruzen pondered for a moment.
"It seems like a pretty decent option. Shisui Uchiha and Itachi Uchiha. I'm going to issue this SS-Rank mission for the both of you.
Infiltrate the residence of Eijiro Uchiha and manipulate him to repel the Uchiha clan rebellion. The survival of the village depends on this mission. Failure is not an option."
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
Shisui and Itachi bowed to Hiruzen and blinked.
'I hope everything goes according to plan. I don't want a repeat of the First Hokage incident.'
Hiruzen sighed and looked towards the blood-red moon.
