Chapter 786: The Uchiha gather in secret, Nara Koji begins to make arrangements!

Uchiha compound, Fugaku's house.

Late at night.

Except for Uchiha Jin, who was not in the village, all other important figures were present; even Shisui, who had defected to the Hokage faction, had now secretly come here.

The entire reception hall was packed.

Looking at these many clan heads and Uchiha powerhouses, Fugaku felt waves of emotion.

He even had the feeling of a lifetime having passed.

Yes.

Just a few months ago, the Uchiha were still in a state of decay.

The moderate and radical factions were fighting each other, and he, as the Uchiha clan head, could only barely act as a paper-patcher, tearing down the east wall to fix the west wall every day, trying his best to keep the Uchiha from collapsing.

But, then what?

Following the rise of Uchiha Jin, ever since he began to gradually take power, and after he himself had thought it over carefully, considering that the Uchiha were rotten anyway, it was better to let Uchiha Jin give it a try.

He never expected.

Uchiha Jin would be this formidable!

In just a few months, he had given the Uchiha a brand new look.

Although many people had certainly died in the process, looking at the power that had now expanded to the point where it could confront the Hokage faction head-on, he still couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile.

Because this precisely proved his own incompetence as a clan head.

But, fortunately.

He had finally been wise for once; choosing to trust Uchiha Jin was something he could truly brag about for a lifetime!

And just as he was thinking, Nara Koji happened to stand up.

After scanning the room, he spoke slowly.

"Everyone, quiet!"

"First, let me briefly introduce the current situation. Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others have left Konoha, and Danzo and Orochimaru are also stirring on their side."

"No one knows what Danzo wants to do."

"But, it doesn't matter!"

"With our current strength, achieving basic self-preservation is not a problem."

"So, for the next period of time, everyone must settle their clansmen after returning. During this time, you must be cautious in your words and actions, and do not easily leave the Uchiha compound unless necessary."

"Because if a sudden incident occurs, the strong within the clan might not be able to rush over quickly."

"Of course, besides that, the strong from each clan should work hard during this recent period."

"Everyone, set up a roster and guard the Uchiha compound well."

"No matter what Danzo and the others want to do, they cannot be allowed to affect us."

"Finally, one announcement!"

"Before Uchiha Jin left Konoha, we had agreed on one thing."

"That is, to carry out an assassination plan against the two elders, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado."

"The purpose is very simple."

"First point: weaken the Hokage faction!"

"And more importantly……"

"Targeting the distrust between Danzo and the Hokage, adding fuel to their grievances."

"Because of the death of Shin Sarutobi, it is impossible for Danzo and the Hokage to tell each other the truth."

"Once the two elders die, Danzo will most likely think this is Hiruzen Sarutobi's act of retaliation."

"Hiruzen Sarutobi will also think this is Danzo framing him; after all, these two elders are not very strong, and according to common sense, Danzo would not want to let the two elders share his power."

"Third point: clarify Danzo's plan!"

"So this mission requires two people to execute it together."

"As for the assassination, Clan Head Fugaku will be responsible."

"And Shintaro Yamanaka will be responsible for extracting the corresponding memories from the minds of the two elders!"

"After all, the two have high status, and Danzo will most likely not hide his actions from them this time."

"The reason for informing everyone of this is also very simple: it is to ensure that everyone cooperates well tonight and provides an alibi for both Fugaku and Shintaro."

"At the very least."

"We cannot let the deaths of these two elders be suspected to be the work of us Uchiha."

"So, Shisui!"

"You are an Anbu captain after all; even if you cannot manage others, I need you to figure out the patrol routes of the other Anbu as much as possible and coordinate with the actions of Fugaku and the other."

"Do your best to ensure there are no mistakes!"

Nara Koji did not waste words.

He immediately explained the situation in the village, their response plan, and the mission of Fugaku and the other in simple terms.

He, of course, knew.

When carrying out such secret missions, the fewer people who know the truth, the better.

But, there was no other way! ===== CHAPTER 787 =====
