Chapter 267: Uchiha Eagle Faction

"Uchiha Jing, why are you here?"

At the Qianshou Feijian Residence, Lian Ye looked at the Uchiha Jing who suddenly appeared in the courtyard, and couldn't help feeling puzzled.

—As the saying goes, no trouble goes unreported to Sanbao Hall.

Uchiha Jing's expression was hurried as they came to find me, likely because something important had happened.

"Lian Yejun, a Jonin within the clan is attempting to incite the clan members to launch a coup," Uchiha Jing said with a serious expression.

When he attended the clan meeting, several clan members put forward the idea of a coup, and some of those present were clearly persuaded.

Although the proposal was rejected by clan head Uchiha Tanaka and several Elders, he knows in his heart that the clan members plotting a coup will not easily give up!

As soon as the meeting ended, he ran over to Lian Ye to discuss a countermeasure.

Uchiha Jing dared not tell Teacher Feijian about this, fearing his view of the Uchiha would decline further.

Teacher Feijian already kept a watchful eye on the Uchiha Clan; if he learned of this, things would only get worse.

Uchiha Jing wants Lian Ye to help devise a perfect solution, so the incident won't continue to spread.

Lian Ye was taken aback by the words.

He hadn't expected the Uchiha to entertain coup ideas at this time.

But on reflection, it's understandable; the Uchiha are a proud, arrogant lot, and surely some would resent the Hokage's attitude toward them.

They might think that, as the two families that founded Konoha, why can the Senju Clan become Hokage while the Uchiha are relegated to the Security Forces?

In Qianshou Feijian's view, the Uchiha Clan is an unstable factor that must be monitored to prevent irreversible damage to the Village.

For the Uchiha, Qianshou Feijian's actions are a deliberate targeting, causing the clan‑village tensions to flare.

Naturally, some Uchiha would entertain the idea of a coup to alter the clan's standing in the Village.

—This belongs to the Uchiha Clan's Eagle Faction.

As time passes, Uchiha discontent with the Village's stance will grow, more clan members will join the Eagle Faction, eventually forcing the Conservative Faction's clan head to choose a coup under pressure.

In the original work, Uchiha Fugao was like that; unfortunately, before the coup began, he willingly was killed by the Great Filial Son, causing the Uchiha to be wiped out by their own in one night.

Now the Eagle Faction has just emerged, so the Uchiha are unlikely to launch a coup soon. Only if clan head Uchiha Tanaka is also an Eagle would a premature coup be possible.

But Lian Ye thinks that fool Uchiha Tanaka lacks the nerve; otherwise he would have already sent someone to assassinate him.

As the years passed, the Uchiha not only never sent assassins, but clan members now avoid him, and no one dares to provoke this outsider Uchiha.

Lian Ye doesn't think Uchiha Tanaka would attempt a coup, especially since the current Hokage is Qianshou Feijian.

If any wind stirs within the Uchiha, that old man will know instantly.

"Lian Yejun?" Uchiha Jing asked, unable to hold back when Lian Ye remained silent.

He came here to discuss a plan with Lian Ye, but Lian Ye's silence made him very anxious.

He must resolve this perfectly before Teacher Feijian finds out.

Uchiha Jing is a rational member of the Uchiha; he won't blindly betray the clan to harm the Village's interests, but that doesn't mean he can watch the clan plunge into the abyss.

If possible, he wants the clan and the Village to coexist peacefully.

Uchiha Jing's words pulled Lian Ye's thoughts back; he looked up at the anxious Jing and asked, "So, what do you want to do?"

He was somewhat curious whether Jing would side with the clan or the Village.

"I want the clan and the Village to coexist peacefully," Uchiha Jing replied without hesitation, his expression very serious.

"Lian Yejun, can you help me think of a way?"

Lian Ye understood at once; it seemed Jing, like Shisui Uchiha, wanted both the clan and the Village!

However, such a stance risks pleasing neither side; one could even call him a Double Agent.

Shisui Uchiha gave the Hokage intelligence about an impending Uchiha coup, only to meet a tragic end by leaping off a cliff.

Not only did he fail to save the clan, but he was also ambushed by Tuan Cang.

The best course is to choose a side like Itachi Uchiha.

Of course, Lian Ye isn't telling Uchiha Jing to emulate Itachi Uchiha's clan massacre, but to firmly pick a side—

Either support the clan or the Village; indecision is not an option.

"If you eliminate the entire Eagle Faction, there would be no one to incite rebellion," Lian Ye suggested.

Killing the Eagle Faction leaves only the Conservative Faction.

It's like Uchiha Madara's "Moon's Eye Plan," hanging everyone in the Ninja World on the Divine Tree, achieving total peace.

It's a bit extreme, but effective, isn't it?

Uchiha Jing: "???"

He didn't expect Lian Ye's suggestion to be slaughtering his own clan's Eagle Faction; it's surprising he could devise such an outrageous idea.

"That won't do!" Uchiha Jing quickly shook his head, refusing; he could never kill his own clan members.

Lian Ye knew Jing wouldn't accept the proposal; he was just speaking offhand.

"You could become the Uchiha clan head, using your strength to make the Eagle Faction abandon the coup—in short, subdue them all."

"That's somewhat difficult," Uchiha Jing said, showing reluctance.

Many of the Uchiha Eagle Faction are veteran Elite Jonin, and he alone could never defeat them.

Moreover, becoming clan head is a very difficult task; with his strength and experience, it's impossible for him to become clan head.

Lian Ye gave him a scornful look, "If this won't work, that won't work, just don't bother with this at all."

Anyway, the Uchiha's full‑scale coup is planned for decades later, so ignoring it now isn't a big issue.

"No, I can't watch the clan head toward opposition with the Village," Uchiha Jing said seriously.

Lian Ye: "..."

This guy really is stubborn.

Fine, I'm tired, never mind.

He reclined on the lounge chair again to bask in the sun; after all, this matter didn't concern him.

He now bears the surname Qianshou, not Uchiha, so even if the Uchiha actually staged a coup, it wouldn't affect him at all.

"Lord Lian Ye, don't fall asleep, think of a solution with me quickly," Uchiha Jing said, his face anxious, fearing the clan might suddenly launch a coup.

Lian Ye sighed helplessly, "I've already done my best."

The two suggestions he just offered were the most perfect plans he could think of.

Uchiha Jing wouldn't listen, and he had no way to change that.

"If it really can't be done, go to the Hokage Office and consult the uncle; I'm sure he can resolve this matter."

Lian Ye could only shift the blame onto Qianshou Feijian, after all that kid is the Hokage.

Uchiha Jing nodded helplessly; at this point, there was no other choice.
