Chapter 558 A Different Uchiha Fugaku
"Ah? Both of them were sent here?"
Kaito, who was originally still thinking about who to send to pick up the dozen Uchiha clan members, was stunned when he heard that Uchiha Fugaku actually said "two sons".
"Was it not agreed that only Sasuke would come?"
Yes, the original agreement between Uchiha Fugaku and Kaito was to send his youngest son Uchiha Sasuke, who was born not long ago, and some other clan members selected by Uchiha Fugaku to the Kirigakure Village.
This served both as a way out for the Uchiha clan, struggling in the Kirigakure Village, and as a gesture of 'hostages' to cement their partnership.
It is a basis for cooperation that is beneficial to both parties.
The most important of them is Uchiha Sasuke, as the son of the clan leader Uchiha Fugaku.
It can show sincerity, and he is just born at a young age, so he only needs to claim that he died of illness.
Although this kind of thing is not common in a large clan like the Uchiha, it is commonplace in the entire ninja world, so it will not have much impact.
However, now Uchiha Fugaku has sent both of his sons here?
Although Uchiha Itachi is only five years old now, he has neither gone to ninja school nor shown his talent in front of the public.
But no matter what, he is the son of the head of the Uchiha clan.
Two of them are "dead" this time?
Kaito is afraid that even if the head of the Uchiha clan, Fugaku, can barely suppress it, the whole Konoha will go crazy, right?
'It's hard to say about the Uchiha clan. If Fugaku could really suppress that group of psychopaths, it wouldn't have come to this point!'
After hearing Kaito's astonished inquiry, Uchiha Fugaku touched his nose in embarrassment.
He couldn't say that his two sons.
Uchiha Itachi had to hold Uchiha Sasuke wherever he went all day.
Especially after experiencing the night of the Nine-Tails, he would put Sasuke beside him when he went to bed at night, and would get up to check if there was any movement.
As a result, even his own father had no chance to bypass Uchiha Itachi and give Sasuke a reasonable reason of "death in infancy".
Finally, he gritted his teeth and decided to pack up and send his two sons to the Kirigakure Village.
As for now, Uchiha Fugaku could only explain vaguely.
"Don't worry, Kaito-sama, I will definitely arrange Itachi's death so that others will not doubt it, and my son's talent is also outstanding. He will definitely become a capable subordinate of Kaito-sama in the future."
Kaito shook his head helplessly when he heard it, thinking that Uchiha Fugaku could not bear to separate his two sons and made this decision.
Moreover, he naturally knew Uchiha Itachi's talent. Even among all the ninjas in the original work, he was a genius who could be ranked first.
'Well, the five-year-old Itachi should not have grown too far. It is not a loss to leave the Uchiha group of idiots and teach them well. '
After that, as if he was afraid that Kaito would have some reservations, Uchiha Fugaku briefly explained the arrangements for the "cause of death" of the dozen people he was going to send.
The others were fine, as they were basically "sacrificed" during the mission.
But Uchiha Fugaku's two sons.
This guy actually arranged for a "radical" Uchiha clan ninja to kidnap Itachi and Sasuke and force him, the clan leader, to abdicate.
As a result, after being discovered, he was "desperate" and chose to "die together" with the two children.
"Clan Leader Fugaku is really cruel and calculating!"
Now, because the conflict between the Uchiha clan and other ninjas in Konohagakure Village is becoming more and more intense, the voices of the radicals in the Uchiha clan have gradually begun to dominate.
Uchiha Fugaku did this, and turned the "death" of the two children into an internal conflict within the clan, without alarming the entire Konoha Village.
It also brought the conflict between the radicals and conservatives of the Uchiha clan to the surface.
It can not only achieve the purpose of identifying who is "one of our own", but also actively divide the giant Uchiha clan, so that the Konoha high-level officials will reduce their vigilance against the Uchiha clan.
At the same time, whether Uchiha Fugaku chooses to "retaliate" to suppress and weaken those radicals, or to keep things quiet and win over some of the rational members of the radicals, it can delay time for the Uchiha clan.
No matter whether it is the Uchiha in the clan or the Konoha ninja outside the clan, no one would want to provoke the Uchiha clan leader who has lost two sons at this point in time.
The clan leader Uchiha Fugaku's clear demarcation with the radical faction in the clan can also appease other ninjas in Konoha Village.
After all, no one would believe that Uchiha Fugaku would use the death of his two biological sons to plot the whole thing.
Kaito had to admire Uchiha Fugaku's decisiveness and ruthlessness.
Hearing Kaito's "praise", Uchiha Fugaku just shook his head with a gloomy look.
"All this is just for the continuation of my clan."
In fact, there is one thing that Uchiha Fugaku did not tell Kaito. The 'radical' Uchiha who 'died' was not only his mole within the radical faction but also a spy sent to infiltrate Danzo's Root.
However, this kind of root organization member who is loyal to Uchiha is destined to have no good results in the end due to the existence of the "Cursed Tongue Eradication Seal".
So that Uchiha was truly sacrificed in his plan this time.
However, it is precisely because of his identity as Root Ninja that the conflict among the top leaders of the Uchiha clan was not completely detonated at once.
The radicals could not confront Shimura Danzo with the identity of a spy, and it is impossible to determine whether this person acted on his own initiative, so this matter can only be regarded as a muddled account in the end.
Of course, the identity of this person as Root Ninja was also "inadvertently" revealed to the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato.
This also made Namikaze Minato, who had been alienated from the Uchiha clan due to the death of Uzumaki Kushina in the Night of the Nine-tails, come to appease the clan leader Uchiha Fugaku many times in recent days.
It can only be said that after starting to use his Mangekyō Sharingan again and being able to see fragments of the future.
Uchiha Fugaku has returned to the level that he should have as the head of the clan in terms of self-confidence and means of handling things.
Although he admires Uchiha Fugaku's decisiveness, he is also very satisfied with the arrival of Itachi and Sasuke.
However, Kaito still needs to explain the subsequent arrangements to him in advance.
"After Itachi and Sasuke come here, I will not accept them as my disciples for the time being, so as not to attract too much attention from the outside world."
"But don't worry, Chief Fugaku, the sensei I have found for them will definitely satisfy you."
"The sensei of the two children will also be the new chief of the Uchiha clan after they settle in the Kirigakure Village."
