Chapter 381: Uchiha Loyal to the Village and the Hokage!

The Qianshou Feijian Residence.

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang and his group entered the courtyard.

That said, Ri Zhan was right.

A major matter like arresting the Uchiha Eagle Faction indeed required coming to consult Teacher.

If Teacher Feijian disagreed, then he would have to drop it.

But he inexplicably felt that Teacher would support his decision.

After all, who else was the Hokage?

"Why are you here?"

Qianshou Feijian, who was watering flowers in the courtyard, said without turning his head.

"Teacher Feijian, I want to arrest the Eagle Faction of the Uchiha Clan!"

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang wasted no time and went straight to the point.

Qianshou Feijian's watering motion paused, but quickly returned to normal.

"Specific reasons?"

"Teacher Feijian, the Uchiha Eagle Faction has been constantly inciting the clan's emotions, trying to seize the position of Hokage through a coup."

"Such behavior is utterly treasonous, so I plan to lead the Anbu to arrest the Uchiha Eagle Faction and throw them in prison to reflect!"

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang explained the entire sequence of events.

Teacher Feijian had also been aware of the Eagle Faction's affairs during his tenure.

Qianshou Feijian put down the watering can, his gaze falling on Tuan Cang.

After a moment of silence, he nodded and spoke in agreement.

"Tuan Cang, your thinking is not wrong."

"It's time to knock the Uchiha Clan into line."

During his years as Hokage, he had never let down his guard against the Uchiha.

Naturally, he knew about the Eagle Faction inciting clan members to attempt a coup.

Qianshou Feijian had once warned Uchiha Tanaka to keep his clansmen in check, but the results were not ideal.

Regarding this, he chose to turn a blind eye.

As long as the Eagle Faction didn't grow strong, the Village wouldn't bother with them.

But that didn't mean the Uchiha Eagle Faction could discuss a coup with impunity.

Even a clay figurine has some temper.

Let alone a Hokage in a high position.

Qianshou Feijian could ignore the Uchiha, but that didn't mean Tuan Cang could do the same.

Since Tuan Cang wanted to arrest the Eagle Faction, he naturally had no reason to refuse.

"I understand, Teacher Feijian!" Zhi Cun Tuan Zang said seriously. "I will make the Uchiha Eagle Faction receive the lesson they deserve!"

Seeing this, Yuanfei Rizhan was instantly dumbfounded.

Teacher Feijian really agreed with Tuan Cang's suggestion...

What a joke!

He couldn't help but reflect on himself.

Was he really too indecisive?

Yuanfei Rizhan didn't recommend making a move against the Uchiha...

He knew the Uchiha Eagle Faction was indeed excessive, but he was worried about intensifying the conflict between the two sides.

Overall, he wasn't wrong.

The stable development of the Village was more important than anything.

But the conversation between Teacher and Tuan Cang made him understand.

You can't just compromise and tolerate endlessly; sometimes you need to strike back.

"Go, and be sure not to cause any casualties."

Qianshou Feijian patted Zhi Cun Tuan Zang on the shoulder and said softly.

"I understand, Teacher Feijian." Tuan Cang's expression was excited.

After several years, he could finally make a move against the Uchiha Eagle Faction.

The inherently evil Uchiha Eagle Faction must be thoroughly knocked into line!

Arrest them, arrest them all!

Make them understand that not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can covet the position of Hokage.

"Kid, go with Tuan Cang."

Qianshou Feijian's gaze fell on Lian Ye, who had remained silent throughout.

With this kid following along, he could definitely keep the Uchiha Clan's Members in check.

The Kaleidoscope Sharingan is no joke!

"Alright, old man." Lian Ye agreed without hesitation.

Even if this old geezer hadn't reminded him, he would have gone along to watch the excitement.

He looked forward to the expression on the Uchiha Eagle Faction's faces when they were arrested.

Having gained Teacher Feijian's support, Tuan Cang became elated and high-spirited.

He left the courtyard, merely waving his hand.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—"

Countless ANBU hidden in the darkness instantly appeared at the gate, kneeling on one knee.

Tuan Cang had long guessed that Teacher Feijian would not refuse, and had prepared manpower in advance.

"Let's go, Uchiha Clan Territory."

Saying that, he stepped forward first, walking at the front of the line.

Lian Ye and his two companions followed at his side, while the ANBU were at the rear.

The massive procession set off toward the Uchiha Clan Territory.

The road attracted the attention of everyone in the Village.

Whether ninja or civilians, they instinctively stopped to watch and discussed in a flurry.

"Where is the Hokage going?"

"That direction seems to lead to the Uchiha Clan."

"What exactly happened?"

"Is there a problem within the Uchiha?"

"Shh, don't speak recklessly! If the Uchiha find out, you're finished!"

Uchiha Clan Territory, Clan Leader's Mansion.

Clan Leader Uchiha Tanaka was reading in his study.

At that moment, a member of the Uchiha hurried in to report.

"Clan Leader, a serious matter has arisen!"

"What happened?"

Uchiha Tanaka furrowed his brows; the report could cause a clan member to lie like this.

It seemed the matter was not minor.

"Clan Leader, the Hokage is leading countless ANBU toward the Uchiha Clan Territory and will arrive soon."

"What?!"

Uchiha Tanaka sprang up from his chair, his expression shifting constantly.

He did not know how the Uchiha had offended Zhi Cun Tuan Zang, prompting him to mobilize forces and come here.

But he did not think further and immediately gathered the clan members to meet them at the gate.

At the gate of the Uchiha Clan Territory.

Uchiha Tanaka had barely arrived when he saw the dark mass of ANBU in the distance.

The Uchiha Clan's Members felt as if facing a great enemy; the Hokage's arrival was ill‑omened!

The Uchiha Eagle Faction in the crowd looked agitated.

As long as the Hokage dares to target the clan, they can incite a coup among the members!

This was, for them, a once‑in‑a‑millennium opportunity!

"Hokage, what does this mean?"

Uchiha Tanaka's expression was grim, a flash of fleeting anger passing through his eyes.

Bringing countless ANBU with a fierce momentum, they seemed to have no regard for the Uchiha at all!

"Uchiha Clan Leader, your clan's Eagle Faction often incites members to rebel."

"The impact is extremely harmful; you should know that, right?"

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang said expressionlessly.

Uchiha Tanaka gave a slightly meaningful glance at Uchiha Jing standing opposite.

Facing his own clan leader's gaze, Jing bowed his head in shame.

"Heh, Hokage, you are probably misunderstanding."

Uchiha Tanaka laughed, saying, "The Uchiha Clan is loyal to the Village, loyal to the Hokage, and would never entertain thoughts of rebellion."

Lian Ye: "…"

Why does that sentence feel somewhat familiar?

Tuan Cang and Ri Zhan wore strange expressions and instinctively looked at Lian Ye.

Good fellow, the Uchiha are all of one virtue!

It's as if they're trying to hide three hundred taels of silver here…

This is as ridiculous as Lian Ye being loyal to the Daimyo.

"Misunderstanding? I don't think so,"

Tuan Cang squinted, his tone growing increasingly hostile.

"The Uchiha Eagle Faction has been inciting the clan's emotions; it's not something that happened in just a day or two."

"Do you really think I know nothing? Uchiha Clan Leader!"

Uchiha Tanaka remained silent, his complexion turning iron‑gray, surprised that the Hokage would bring this matter into the open.

It had always been an unspoken understanding, but Tuan Cang said it aloud.

He glared angrily at Tuan Cang and said coldly,

"Hokage, what do you intend to do?"

…
