Fugaku raised an eyebrow slightly, finally feeling a sense of relief.
Kazuki's actions were for the good of the clan, and Fugaku could accept that.
In other words, as long as Kazuki didn't join the hardliners and uproot the Uchiha, it was acceptable.
Uchiha Fugaku might be a bit timid, but at least he had a sense of the bigger picture.
"The conflict between the clan and the village is difficult to resolve, and the suspicions run deep," Fugaku said.
Kazuki smiled confidently.
"I know, but I don't think that's a bad thing. At least it can bring us together. Previously, the clan was divided due to factions and internal conflicts.
But I always believe that as long as we unite and don't do things that the village can't tolerate, no one can touch us."
"We might play some small tricks at most."
"On the contrary, only a strong and united Uchiha can have a voice in the village. The title of the number one dōjutsu clan of the Uchiha isn't for nothing; we have that kind of strength."
"If only everything were as simple as you say," Fugaku sighed softly.
Since becoming the clan leader, he had tried all kinds of ways to strive for improvement, but the results were disheartening.
Not only did the Uchiha gain almost nothing, but the exclusion they faced became more severe.
This phenomenon even reached its peak after the night of the Nine-Tails.
Fugaku didn't voice his inner thoughts, but Kazuki could guess what he was thinking.
"As long as you don't join the hardliners, lead the clan members in a coup, and harm the interests of the Uchiha and the village, I won't deliberately obstruct you."
"Those words from the clan leader are enough."
I definitely won't do anything to harm the clan's interests, but as for the village's interests, it depends on the situation.
As long as the Third Hokage and Danzo start causing trouble, Kazuki wouldn't mind giving them some headaches.
Being overly passive won't help the Uchiha rise. It will only make those who bully you push their limits.
If you retreat an inch, they might advance a yard.
A series of major events unfolded, making the Uchiha dizzy. When they heard that the Sixth Elder fainted from rage, it became a hot topic of discussion.
But soon, people lost their interest in watching the drama.
Because the hardliners deliberately leaked what Kazuki said and the charges he faced.
The Uchiha were in an uproar.
They began cursing the doves, accusing them of betrayal, and some impulsive individuals even went directly to trouble the doves.
Shisui, who was to be transferred from the police force tomorrow, was implicated while the Sixth Elder was being treated in the hospital.
Shisui was stunned when he heard the news.
He never imagined that the direction the doves had been striving for could be burdened with such a terrible accusation.
Shisui was shocked, and the Third Hokage, who got the news, wasn't much better off.
What's going on?
He had just thought that Uchiha Kazuki was not simple and needed to be monitored more closely. Then suddenly, all this happened, directly dealing with the dove faction within the Uchiha.
Who can tell me how he did it?
And isn't this accusation a bit exaggerated?
Although there's some reason to it, the doves wouldn't go so far as to dig up the roots like this. How will Shisui face his clansmen in the future?
After this series of actions, even if Shisui and the other doves don't become outcasts, their days in the clan won't be easy.
It would be difficult for them to regain the trust of the clan members.
Without a voice, Shisui, the carefully cultivated spy, would be useless.
Without a voice, he couldn't participate in various important clan meetings and gatherings. If he couldn't participate, how could he gather information?
Things seemed to have become quite troublesome.
And if that weren't enough, Kazuki advocated for Shisui's transfer out of the police force, suggesting he handle annoying complaints instead.
The Third Hokage was speechless because this was an internal Uchiha conflict. Even as the Hokage, he couldn't interfere directly, at most giving some indirect hints.
But hints wouldn't have much effect.
He could only watch as Shisui was ostracized.
The distinctive sound of footsteps came from afar, pulling the Third Hokage out of his thoughts. He rubbed his temples, knowing his old friend had arrived.
The footsteps stopped at the door of the Hokage's office, and the door was roughly pushed open.
Wrapped in bandages around his forehead, right eye, right shoulder, and right hand, Danzo walked in step by step with his wooden cane.
There were only two people in Konoha who would come to the Hokage's office without knocking.
One was Danzo, and the other was the Third Hokage's disciple, the future Fifth Hokage, Tsunade.
Putting down his hand, the Third Hokage looked up.
"Danzo, it's late. What brings you here?"
"Hiruzen, don't pretend you don't know. The Uchiha are already in turmoil."
Danzo's single eye gleamed with malice as he stepped up to the Hokage's desk.
"I've always said that we can't treat the Uchiha too kindly. We should take them all down, especially that wicked brat, Uchiha Kazuki."
Seeing Danzo getting more extreme, the Third Hokage interrupted him.
"Danzo, I've said that the Uchiha are also part of the village. Things haven't reached the point you're talking about. The actions initiated by Uchiha Kazuki are all about internal Uchiha reforms. This is their internal matter, not something we should interfere with."
Should the Uchiha really be exterminated?
Probably not. Danzo's obsession with the Uchiha, apart from wanting to obtain enough Sharingan, was also to use the threat of the Uchiha to strengthen his own position.
To achieve his goals.
The Third Hokage had no intention of eliminating the Uchiha completely. Besides the fact that it was unnecessary, he didn't dare.
The strength of the Uchiha, the number one dōjutsu clan, was formidable. If pushed to the edge and they united, even if the Uchiha could be wiped out, the village would have to pay a heavy price.
Don't underestimate the Uchiha's dozens of jonin and hundreds of ninja.
How many jonin does Konoha have?
The Uchiha made up more than a tenth of them.
This was also Kazuki's confidence. As long as the Uchiha were united and didn't cause trouble, Danzo and the Third Hokage wouldn't dare to act against them.
If they weren't afraid of backlash and civil war, they could try to eliminate the Uchiha.
But then Konoha would be severely weakened, and villages like Iwagakure and Kumogakure, with their strong military forces and penchant for war, wouldn't stand by idly.
They would seize any opportunity to take a bite out of the Land of Fire.
