Konoha Hypocrite (Part-1)

Chapter 150: Scheming Against A Big Snake, Killing People By Proxy

Only now, everyone began to understand the strength of the youth on the cliff from the bottom of their hearts. All of them couldn't help correcting their expressions, and their gazes looking at Tonan became more radiant.

In the Uchiha clan, other than the special status such as the Patriarch or the Great Elder, everyone subconsciously respected strength. They began to get curious about the true strength hidden by this youth. But they heard Tonan leisurely say, "Amid the revitalization of the clan's great cause, I'll not permit anyone to oppose me."

"Shinra is like this, please don't mind him." Shinji looked at Tonan, his eyes filled with a fanatical hue, and his words seemed to have some degree of respect.

"It's nothing, I just gave him a light warning." Tonan waved his hand casually as if subduing a clan member with three tomoe Sharingan was a trivial matter. Immediately afterward, he lowered his head and said with a serious face, "Let me tell you about Konoha's current situation. Since I've successfully gained Sarutobi Hiruzen's trust, his prejudice against the clan has been eliminated. Moreover, he has promised me privately that he'll push me to the Hokage position when I have the qualifications."

Tonan's tone was light as he said this as if this matter was just everyday things like eating and drinking tea. But after he spoke, the Uchiha clan members exclaimed in joy...

"Really?"

"Great... like this, the clan can regain the Warring States Period's glory."

"This is a great move. There's no need for infighting at all, and we can directly get the power."

......

"Silence."

Tonan's voice was not loud but it seemed to explode in their ears, making them focus on him. This move created some awe in their hearts. Everyone present became silent and heard Tonan indifferently say, "But now, the times have changed. Sarutobi Hiruzen alone doesn't have the final say. The force led by Shimura Danzo opposes him. Danzo has even got the support of two Hokage Advisors and Orochimaru. In some aspects, his right to speak even surpasses Sarutobi Hiruzen. And Danzo always had evil plans toward our clan. He's our biggest enemy now."

Having said this, Tonan squinted his eyes and looked at the people below. Everyone frowned when they heard this. Obviously, they had never been in contact with these internal matters of the higher-ups, and they naturally didn't know their complicated relationship.

They had always thought that Konoha's Hokage meant what it said. They had never thought that someone would dare to oppose his authority. Many people haven't even heard the name Shimura Danzo.

Only the older and more senior people had some impression of this name in the depths of their memories. Everyone became worried and began to put forward their suggestions...

"Is that what is happening?"

"Tonan, do you want to lead the Uchiha clan to support Hokage?"

"If that's the case, then I think you should talk directly to Patriarch Fugaku. He has always advocated getting closer to the higher-ups."

However, Tonan coldly replied, "No, as the number one clan in Konoha, the Uchihas cannot stand in line easily. Otherwise, if Sarutobi Hiruzen loses power and influence, we would also be done for. We cannot put all the chips in one basket. Therefore, I called you all here."

"According to the information I secretly got from the higher-ups, Orochimaru and Danzo seem to be conducting some kind of human experiment. And there are various indications that the clan members' deaths are connected to this."

Hearing this, the Uchihas below exploded. Everyone was shocked. No one had thought that such a crazy thing was done by the Konoha higher-ups.

"What!"
