"Since the patriarch wants to know, I will start talking."
"The first point is the ability to judge people."
When everyone heard this, they immediately thought of Uchiha Itachi who had been kicked out before, and they all felt that what Tomoki said made sense.
"I won't go into detail about this. The most obvious thing is Uchiha Itachi. He has participated in so many clan meetings and has been observing silently. At the very least, the power our clan possesses must have been clearly known to the higher-ups."
"This means that the number of Jonin in our clan, what jutsu they are proficient in, which clan members want to stage a coup, and which clan members want to integrate into the village are all recorded in detail in the hands of the Sandaime Hokage."
When the tribesmen around heard this analysis, they all knew what it meant. Some of them could no longer control their emotions and activated their Sharingan.
"The second point is the Nine-Tailed Fox Rebellion."
The Nine-Tails Rebellion is not only a taboo in Konoha, but also in the Uchiha clan. It was after the Nine-Tails Rebellion that the Uchiha clan fell into decline and was condemned by everyone. At the same time, since then, the clan's territory has been surrounded by Anbu surveillance all day long.
Uchiha Fugaku also frowned at this time and asked, "What's the problem with the Nine-Tails Rebellion?"
"Hahaha! What's the problem? Tell us what the problem is." Uchiha Tomoki scanned the faces of his tribesmen one by one.
Finally, he said disappointedly, "You are so adorably stupid, you deserve to be targeted!"
The tribesmen around were inevitably angry when they heard this, but no one stood up impulsively. Instead, they waited to see what Uchiha Tomoki would say next.
"The most obvious point is that during the Nine-Tails Rebellion, Konoha lost the Fourth Hokage, the Third Hokage lost his wife, and the village suffered heavy casualties among the Jonin. All the clans had sacrificed their lives, but what about my Uchiha clan? We stayed quietly in our clan land, with no one dead or injured."
"We, the Uchiha clan, are unwilling to sacrifice for Konoha. Why should Konoha treat us well? If we are not targeted, who is targeted? Are we targeting those clans that have suffered heavy losses of their elites?"
One of the clan members angrily said, "Who said that we Uchiha were unwilling to sacrifice for Konoha? It was the clan leader who wouldn't let us go out!"
Fugaku then said, "The situation at the time did not allow our clan to move out."
"Why doesn't the situation allow it?"
"The Sharingan in the Nine-Tails' eyes shows that the Nine-Tails was controlled by the Sharingan at the time. In order to clear the suspicion, the clan members were kept at bay."
"Ridiculous! Since they are suspected, they should go out and rush to the front line and make the greatest sacrifice. The people in the village are not blind. They only see the Sharingan in the eyes of the Nine-Tails and cannot see that all the Uchiha clan members have joined the battle. That is the best way to clear suspicion!"
"Youshu-kun, although you were ten years old at that time, you didn't know that Danzo's roots had already surrounded our clan land, and at the same time, with the order of the Third Hokage, no one from the Uchiha clan was allowed to go out..."
Fugaku explained again.
"Hehehe, this explanation only proves your stupidity once again, Patriarch."
"May I ask who gave the order? The Third Hokage or Danzo?"
"Danzo."
"What is Danzo's position?"
"Root leader."
"So what position did the patriarch hold at that time?"
"Security Department... Minister."
"Is the Root Department a higher authority than the Security Department? Does the Security Department need to obey the Root Department's orders?"
"No, I don't need to."
After the two of them quickly asked and answered each other, Uchiha Tomoki just looked at Fugaku quietly.
The people around who listened to the question and answer between the two, especially those who were already Jonin during the Nine-Tails Rebellion, including the elders of the family, fell into deep thought.
"Why did you listen to Danzo in the first place?"
This is the question in everyone's mind.
Fugaku also fell into deep thought, and then he continued: "But Tomoki-kun, at that time the Sandaime..."
Uchiha Tomoki interrupted Fugaku again, "What position did the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen hold at that time?"
"Konoha Elder."
"Does the Security Department need to obey the orders of the elders?"
"No...need...." Fugaku also realized the existence of the problem at this time.
"Who was the leader of Konoha at that time?"
"The Fourth Daemon Namikaze Minato."
"Did the Yondaime ask the Uchiha clan to stay indoors?"
"No."
Fugaku was a little distraught at this time. He had never thought about these issues carefully, but he realized that he had made a mistake in his decision.
Tomoki said again, "Everyone, please imagine, if the entire Uchiha clan had joined the battle, would the Fourth Hokage have died? If the Fourth Hokage was still alive, would the Uchiha clan's current situation be different?"
Many of the shinobi in the family who had fought alongside the Yondaime remembered the golden figure with the warm smile.
"If the Yondaime were still alive, our Uchiha clan would be in a much better situation."
This is what everyone thinks, but unfortunately, it is all just fantasy.
"Chief Fugaku, you made a major mistake during your tenure, which put our clan in such a passive position. Do you admit it?"
Seeing Fugaku being treated this way, Uchiha Tatsu, an elder who was usually neutral, stood up and said, "This is not a decision made by Fugaku alone. It was a decision made after consultation with our elders."
"Elder Da, I remember that my grandfather felt that we should take the initiative to participate, but in the end, Chief Fugaku chose your suggestion. Is Chief Fugaku blaming the elders for influencing his judgment?"
"When will the elders be able to make decisions? If the elders can make decisions, what is the purpose of the clan leader?"
"This..." In the end, Uchiha Da was speechless.
The tribesmen had already started discussing in low voices with people they knew around them, each expressing their own views on the matter. Youshu did not specifically arrange for anyone to privately guide the tribesmen's discussion.
Because everyone actually knows these things, but no one has analyzed them in depth.
In the ninja world, although ninjas have extraordinary powers, it is a pity that most of them do not read much, and even if they do, they only read books about the human body.
The purpose of everything is to better defeat the opponent. Many ninjas have actually lost the ability to think independently. It's not that they are not smart, but they are not good at thinking and are particularly easily influenced by others.
It can be seen from the fact that a Will of Fire with many loopholes can cause the Konoha ninjas to die one after another. What's strange is that even Danzo's Will of the Root seems very reasonable to many ninjas.
Uchiha Tomoki only pointed out the simple context and key contradictions of the matter, and the tribesmen have already understood it. The tribesmen are indeed not good at thinking, but they are not lacking in brains. Uchiha Tomoki's statement is logically rigorous and reasonable.
Therefore, although nothing can be seen on the surface, the balance in the hearts of the tribesmen has begun to tilt towards Youshu.
