Chapter 104 Madara's plan

Uchiha clan territory, Nakano Shrine.

In the dim secret room, two torches crackled.

"Elder Yasuhi, are you really going to do this?"

The Uchiha clan leader asked in a heavy voice.

Elder Yasuhi remained silent, his face flickering in the light of the fire.

After a while, he said in a heavy voice: "There is nothing we can do about it."

"But... this is simply nonsense." The Uchiha clan leader's voice became hoarse with excitement: "Why did they immediately blame our Uchiha clan for controlling the tailed beast in the Hidden Rock Village?"

Elder Yasuhi closed his eyes for a while, and spoke slowly: "But they saw the Sharingan after all, didn't they?"

The Uchiha clan leader did not agree: "That's just the one-sided statement of the Hidden Rock Village."

Elder Yasuhi exhaled: "The Yamanaka clan has already peeped into the memory of the witness and confirmed that they saw the Sharingan."

The Uchiha clan leader was still unwilling to believe it: "Could it be a transformation technique?"

"At this point, it doesn't matter what the truth is." Elder Yasuhi looked heavy, sighed and shook his head: "The Hidden Rock Village has suffered such great damage. If we don't give them a satisfactory answer when they are angry, war will definitely break out."

"I don't understand, among so many clansmen, why did you get chosen?"

"This is exactly the cleverness of the Iwagakure Village..."

The Iwagakure Village made this decision, and Madara behind the scenes played a certain role in inducing it.

"!?" Clan leader was puzzled

"The Iwagakure Village is planning to take advantage of this issue to create a rift between our Uchiha clan and the village, so as to induce civil unrest."

" As for why they chose me, it may be that the Iwagakure Village was attracted by my status in the Uchiha clan, as well as my old age and frailty, and the fact that I don't have much time left."

" In addition, it seems that I have killed quite a few people in the Iwagakure Village in the past, and I have accumulated a lot of hatred. For the sake of the overall situation, the Konoha high-level officials will certainly not choose to go to war with the Iwagakure Village for an old bone like me."

The Uchiha clan leader said disdainfully: "What's there to be afraid of with just a Iwagakure Village?"

When the village was first founded, this epoch-making move was naturally opposed by many old forces.

They did not want Konoha to dominate and break the balance, so they united to attack Konoha, but in front of the God and Shura, Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Madara, everything was in vain.

Elder Yasuhi sighed and expressed his concerns: "Once the war breaks out, it won't just be a battle between Konoha Village and Iwagakure Village. The fertile land of the Land of Fire has long been coveted by all countries."

" They may take this opportunity to get a piece of the pie, and by then, as the war continues to spread, it will inevitably lead to the Second Ninja World War."

  "..."

"Sacrificing me in exchange for a brief peace, I think it's worth it. Besides, the new eyes are growing, and I need to use my death to buy enough time for him to grow up."

The Uchiha clan leader was surprised and said, "New eyes? Are you talking about Haru?"

"What this world lacks the least is geniuses. A genius is just a genius until he grows up. I have seen too many talented clansmen who died before they grew up."

"When the war breaks out, everyone in the village will be involved in it. Haru's strength is pretty good now, but that's only limited to people of his age. He's still too young. On the battlefield, he has to face all kinds of enemies, outnumbering the enemy, being limited by ability, and being at a disadvantage in age. What I can do is to minimize this risk."

Hearing such righteous words, the Uchiha clan leader's pupils were moist.

This old man dedicated his last drop of blood to the prosperity of the family until the last moment of his death without regrets.

He is the true successor of the will of fire.

Elder Yasuhi was dissatisfied with the man's crying.

His face sank and he said in a scolding tone: "What's wrong with your tears? Can your tears save Uchiha?"

Uchiha clan leader wiped away his tears and showed him more respect: "I'm sorry to embarrass you."

Elder Yasuhi closed his eyes and took a breath: "Next is the last thing I want you to do."

The Uchiha clan leader said respectfully: "Whatever it is, please give me your instructions."

"After I die, don't tell Haru the truth."   

The Uchiha clan leader thought for a moment: "Is it to protect Haru?"

Yasuhi replied with a sigh: "Don't look at this child who always looks careless, in fact, this child is a sensitive person. If he knows the truth, he might do something stupid."

Uchiha Madara behind the scenes wants to use the death of Elder Yasuhi to stimulate Haru, even though Mangekyo might not awaken now, but his ocular power will increase.

Although Elder Yasuhi is somewhat close to Haru but Haru will still have Tsunade by his side which will not give enough stimulation to Haru.

"Until the last moment, Elder Yasuhi is still thinking about the family..." The Uchiha clan leader said with admiration.

"After I leave, the burden of protecting the Uchiha clan will be handed over to you."

"Yes."
