Chapter 119: Signal Flare Ascends, Fugaku Cries with Excitement
Uchiha Jin did not lie.
There were inherently only a few paths left for the Uchiha.
There was no other way!
When the Uchiha first helped establish Konoha, they truly held a winning hand.
Even if they weren't as strong as the Senju, they were still top-tier.
However, it was a pity.
Both the Senju and the Uchiha, their descendants became dumber with each generation.
The Senju Clan.
Tobirama was the last true powerhouse; after him, no one could carry the burden, instead, there was a group of fools swayed by the will of fire.
Under Sarutobi Hiruzen's manipulation, one after another, they died on the battlefield.
Even Tsunade's younger brother, Nawaki Senju, was the prime example.
He was the most fervent believer in the will of fire, and also the one who suffered the most.
A pile of explosive tags directly killed him!
Tsunade, on the other hand, was a love-struck fool.
If she had been able to take up the Senju's mantle in time, then as Hashirama's granddaughter, a princess of the Land of Fire, and Sarutobi Hiruzen's direct disciple...
Even if not for her sake, then for the sake of those connected to her.
As long as she truly chose to push back, Sarutobi Hiruzen wouldn't dare go too far.
There was no other way!
Hashirama Senju was the founder of Konoha, and Tobirama was the Second Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen's teacher.
More importantly.
When Konoha was first established, the Senju Clan had intermarried with the Land of Fire's Daimyo.
The Daimyo himself also possessed a trace of Senju blood.
This was the real reason Tsunade was personally conferred the title of princess!
As long as she was willing to take charge, the Daimyo would definitely choose to support her.
Although the Daimyo's presence in the Shinobi World was not strong, and he wasn't even considered a ninja...

But, at the same time.
This world, similar to Japan, inherited the Japanese system.
Even if the Japanese Emperor had no real power, the Prime Minister still wouldn't dare to go too far.
Otherwise.
The common people of the entire Japan would not let him off!
The Shinobi World, the same principle applied.
Perhaps the Daimyo was just a mascot, but he was the spiritual symbol of the entire Land of Fire.
Holding so many trump cards, it would have been difficult for Tsunade to lose!
But, unfortunately.
The deaths of Nawaki Senju and Kato Dan completely shattered her psychological defenses.
She simply gave up.
And without her assistance, the fate of the Senju Clan was predictable.
Without Tsunade's protection, Sarutobi Hiruzen became even more ruthless.
Adding to that, Danzo, that old schemer, in order to research hashirama cells, frantically captured members of the Senju Clan for experiments.
Then.
The once mighty Senju Clan collapsed with a crash!
The Senju Clan met this fate, and the Uchiha were not much different.
Ever since Uchiha Madara left, the entire Uchiha Clan seemed to have had its backbone removed.
All sorts of foolish actions followed one after another.
Under the suppression of Sarutobi Hiruzen and the Hokage faction, they were actually already on the verge of extinction.
If not for Uchiha Jin, the Uchiha's demise would have been a foregone conclusion.
As for the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's Attack...
That was merely a fuse.
Just like the Ming Dynasty, which seemingly fell under Emperor Chongzhen, but in reality, fell under Emperor Wanli.
The Uchiha were the same.
Long before the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's Attack, they were already ostracized by the entire village, with all Ninja Clans unwilling to associate with them; in fact, they had long been isolated.
Within the Uchiha Clan, there was no strong leader.
Unable to unite, the fragmented Uchiha were already meat on the village's chopping block.
Even without Shisui and Itachi, the Uchiha's fate was already sealed.
The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's Attack.
It merely tolled the death knell for the Uchiha.
The Night of the Massacre was just the outcome!
Itachi's actions merely accelerated this outcome.
One can imagine.
In such a shattered situation, Uchiha Jin, wanting to change everything, naturally could not proceed slowly.
Although strong medicine can be harmful, he had no choice.
Of course, there was also a good side.
The Shinobi World, after all, was a high-martial world, different from those magic-less worlds.
In a magic-less world, one could only resort to schemes and covert arrangements.
The Shinobi World, however, was different!
In various high-martial worlds, individual power determined everything.
Although not like Xuanhuan, Xianxia, or mythological worlds, it could still play a fundamental role.
Even though the Uchiha were in decline, a rotting ship could still have a few nails hammered in.
At the very least.
As long as he could unite the Uchiha, he would have the ability to overturn the table.
"Well, I hope so." Fugaku scratched his head and said helplessly, "Sarutobi Hiruzen, please don't go crazy!"
"I don't want to kill your whole family either!"
Speaking of which.
Although Fugaku had a helpless expression, a murderous aura flickered in his eyes.
Yes.
Don't let his usual timid demeanor fool you; that was for the sake of the Uchiha.
But, at the same time.
If he were truly pushed to a corner, and it wasn't his good son trying to kill him...
He would make everyone understand how the reputation of 'Fugaku of the Fierce Eyes' was earned.
Bang!
Just then.
From the direction of the Uchiha Clan Grounds, a green signal flare suddenly ascended (bjfg).
Upon seeing this, Fugaku trembled with excitement.
This, it succeeded?
