Today, a strange rumor suddenly appeared within the Uchiha clan compound.
—Uchiha Akainu's Sharingan possesses a terrifying dōjutsu that can see "past evils" and "future evils." He saw the "future evil" of the clan head's son, Uchiha Itachi, who, on a certain day in the future, will betray the Uchiha and massacre the entire clan.
—Every single Uchiha, from top to bottom, men, women, young and old, without exception, will fall by Uchiha Itachi's blade. Even his own parents and close friends, Uchiha Itachi will mercilessly kill them.
—When Uchiha Akainu wanted to eliminate this "future evil," Clan Head Fugaku stopped him, choosing to protect Uchiha Itachi, who is destined to fall into the abyss!
The rumor involved the three most prominent figures in the Uchiha clan.
Because of this, the ninja cats didn't even need to deliberately fan the flames.
The rumor quickly spread throughout the Uchiha clan.
But the sheer amount of information in the rumor was so massive that it was hard to believe, causing everyone to instinctively question its truth.
After all, they had never heard of a terrifying dōjutsu that could see past and future evils.
Moreover...
Even though Uchiha Itachi was quite out of place within the Uchiha clan and many clan members didn't particularly like him, given his alignment with the Hokage...
Still...
He couldn't be that much of a beast, could he?
He's still an Uchiha, after all!
"Hey, you, rookie! Yes, you." In the women's restroom of a public convenience in the Uchiha compound, Izumi, who had just finished using the toilet, suddenly heard someone call out from behind her.
She shook off her preoccupied, heavy expression and flicked the water from her hands after washing them.
Curiously, she turned around.
She saw a female Uchiha in Uchiha Police Force attire quietly ask her, "You're Uchiha Akainu's student, so you must know things we don't. Let me ask you... Is what happened this morning true?"
Izumi looked completely bewildered: "Huh?"
She had no idea what Kikujiro had done.
"It's about Uchiha Itachi," the other woman said. "Did Uchiha Akainu really see Uchiha Itachi's future evil?"
Izumi: "!!!"
Izumi was startled, looking at the other woman in shock. The expression on her face had already given away the "answer."
"It's actually true..."
She hadn't even answered, but the other woman had already realized something, muttering the phrase in stunned disbelief: "It's actually true."
Izumi noticed that as the woman muttered nervously to herself, veins seemed to bulge on the back of her hand.
This senior police force member seemed to be strangely furious.
She even saw the other woman's Sharingan activate in her anger.
"U-chi-ha... Itachi... you truly are something!"
Izumi heard the woman spitting out Uchiha Itachi's name, syllable by syllable.
Things seemed to be developing in a direction she hadn't anticipated.
Also, how did this person know what happened this morning?
Izumi was utterly confused.
With "Uchiha Izumi" as a "witness" whose words were, in effect, extracted, the rumor that was initially shaky suddenly gained some credibility, sending shivers down the spines of countless Uchiha clan members.
Uchiha Kagami (Setsuna's name from another translation/source) handed his cane to a nearby guard and slowly knelt on a soft cushion.
His gaze swept over the aggressive faction of Uchiha ninja gathered before him.
Uchiha Kagami's voice was hoarse as he asked, "How much credibility do you give today's unusual rumor within the clan?!"
"At least 70% credibility."
An Uchiha ninja answered solemnly, "The young girl with Uchiha Akainu admitted its truth. And according to our investigation, there were indeed clan members who saw the clan head leaving Uchiha Akainu's home early this morning."
"Furthermore, considering Uchiha Akainu's absurdly high case-solving rate... Perhaps his eyes are indeed very special, possessing a unique dōjutsu that we have never encountered."
Bang!!!
Someone slammed the table in angry indignation, gritting their teeth: "Good for you, Uchiha Itachi! Good for you, Uchiha Fugaku! We work diligently, tirelessly, all to protect the future of the Uchiha. And yet... they want to destroy the Uchiha clan with their own hands!"
Another clenched his fist, his gaze cold: "Elder Kagami, we need to nip this future Uchiha crisis in the bud."
"But what if the information is wrong? Does a normal Three-Tomo Sharingan really have the ability to see future evil?"
"No 'what ifs'! Even if there's a slight possibility, we cannot allow that possibility to exist in the world. Besides, Uchiha Itachi has never been truly on our side. I've long suspected that Shisui died at Uchiha Itachi's hands! After all, on the day Shisui died, we were all at the family meeting, and only Shisui and Uchiha Itachi weren't present."
"..."
In a few short sentences, the aggressive Uchiha faction reached a consensus.
—Believe the rumor!
Even if there's only a slight possibility, that kind of thing must never be allowed to happen.
"Gentlemen."
At this moment, Uchiha Kagami, who had been silent for a while, slowly said, "This old man believes that Uchiha Fugaku, who chose to indulge Uchiha Itachi, no longer has the right to be the Uchiha clan head."
All eyes focused on the elderly hawk-eyed elder.
"Clan Head Fugaku, is this true?"
The moderate faction of the Uchiha clan, who advocated for peaceful coexistence with the village, sought out Uchiha Fugaku and asked him this question.
Fugaku's expression darkened slightly.
He had no idea who had leaked the information.
He naturally noticed the public uproar stirring within the Uchiha clan, but Fugaku found it difficult to step in and control the narrative. He knew that if he intervened, it would confirm the rumors.
But if he didn't intervene, this matter was very likely to spread outside the Uchiha clan, into the village.
This put Fugaku in a dilemma.
So... could Akainu have spread what happened this morning?
However.
This was completely different from Akainu's usual quiet and reserved demeanor.
Had he changed?
Or...
Was it someone else?
"It's just hearsay."
Fugaku was silent for a moment, then gave an answer that still chose to protect his eldest son.
He put on a stern face and slowly said, "Itachi won't do such a thing now, nor will he in the future. Our Uchiha clan needs to unite to continue living peacefully with the village. Don't believe the instigation of those with ulterior motives. I vouch for Itachi as Clan Head."
The moderate Uchiha elders shook their heads, sighing, "We hope you have made the right choice, Clan Head Fugaku."
Noon.
Ninja Academy.
Uchiha Sasuke, sitting in his first-year class, had just finished his lunchbox when he suddenly noticed a few students who walked into the classroom looking at him strangely.
They seemed to be whispering something.
And discreetly pointing at him.
Sasuke frowned. Just as he was about to go ask them what they wanted, to his surprise, they approached him directly.
"Sasuke-kun." One of them tentatively asked, "Did your brother, Uchiha Itachi, kill everyone in your Uchiha clan?"
Sasuke: "???"
