Chapter 72: Chapter 72: The Uchiha’s Excitement, Overthrowing Konoha
Uproar!
As Uchiha Itachi revealed his Mangekyō Sharingan, the elite members of the Uchiha clan erupted in excitement.
One after another, they were filled with overwhelming fervor!
In their clan, the legendary Mangekyō Sharingan had appeared twice.
Did this not mean that Konoha was already within their grasp?
Two pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan-who could possibly stand against that?
The Uchiha clansmen, their spirits soaring, eagerly wished that Fugaku and his son Itachi would lead the Uchiha in a coup and seize control of Konoha's leadership right away!
However, as Uchiha Itachi stepped forward and displayed his Mangekyō Sharingan, the Third Hokage's expression remained unchanged.
Shisui had previously confessed to the Third Hokage about his Mangekyō Sharingan and its abilities.
When Itachi had awakened his Mangekyō, he too had confessed to the Hokage.
Both Shisui and Itachi were deeply influenced by the Will of Fire, so the Third Hokage trusted Itachi.
"Third Hokage!"
After revealing his Mangekyō, Uchiha Itachi directed his gaze toward the Third Hokage and spoke: "Although it is true that Akira committed a grave crime by attacking Danzo..."
"...we must also consider that Akira claimed Danzo attacked him first, which may not be just an excuse."
"After all, Danzo previously attempted to ambush Shisui!"
"Therefore, Akira's actions may have been justified. I ask that the Third Hokage consider this carefully."
"There are still some surviving Root members. They can be taken back for interrogation."
Itachi's words appeared to defend Uchiha Akira and the Uchiha clan.
However, in reality, he was offering the Third Hokage a way out.
In the current tense situation, it was likely that the Third Hokage did not wish to immediately go to war with the Uchiha.
So, Itachi gave him an opportunity to de-escalate the situation-it was up to the Hokage to take it.
"Hmm, you make a valid point. In that case, I will take them back for a thorough interrogation to uncover the truth,"
On one hand, Uchiha Akira's age and his frightening growth rate had earned him the title of the greatest genius in the history of the Uchiha clan, with some even saying that his power could surpass Uchiha Madara's.
On the other hand, Uchiha Akira had taken down Danzo, one of the four key leaders of Konoha, which had made him a hero in the eyes of his clan.
After all, among Konoha's leadership, Danzo had been the most oppressive toward the
Uchiha.
So, the Uchiha clan's hatred for Danzo exceeded even that for the Third Hokage.
Now that Uchiha Akira had killed him, it was seen as an act of heroism!
Although it was late at night, the Uchiha district was alive with excitement.
The elite members of the Uchiha clan had gathered, and each one was full of fervor!
Fugaku, the clan leader, had awakened the legendary Mangekyō Sharingan!
Young Itachi had also awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, filling the Uchiha clan with renewed confidence!
"Clan leader, don't hesitate any longer-take action!"
"Yes, all these years, Konoha has oppressed our Uchiha clan. Now, we must overthrow their
rule!"
"That's right, and with Danzo dead, now is the perfect time to strike!"
One by one, the Uchiha clan members, their eyes blazing with passion, urged Fugaku to lead
them in a coup.
....Sigh...
Looking at the eager expressions of his clan members, Fugaku Uchiha silently sighed.
Why had he never revealed his Mangekyō Sharingan before? It was because he feared the
situation would escalate to this point.
Yet, it had come to this after all.
"Itachi, what's your opinion?"
After a moment of silence, Fugaku turned to Itachi, seeking his thoughts.
The other Uchiha elites also fell silent, turning their gazes toward Itachi...
