"Clan Head, are you really going to launch a coup this time?"
As soon as he entered, Uchiha Yusuke went straight to the point.
Uchiha Fugaku frowned."Yusuke, it's not that we want to launch a coup. It's that Konoha owes the Uchiha clan far too much. The way our clan has been marginalized in Konoha—you understand that better than anyone."
"Over the years, Konoha has continuously squeezed our resources, sending us, the Uchiha clan, to the most dangerous battlefields. Countless clan members have died or been injured because of this."
"And what did we receive in return?"
"Suspicion.""Doubt.""Distrust!"
"There are countless ANBU watching you every single day. No matter where you go in the village, you are being monitored. For the past three years, Konoha hasn't even allowed you to leave the village."
"Konoha has never treated the Uchiha clan as one of its own. If this continues, then in less than ten years, our clan may be completely exterminated by Konoha itself."
"So it's not that we want to launch a coup—""—it's that we have no choice but to do so."
Hearing this, Yusuke couldn't help but admire Fugaku.He truly deserved to be clan head. His foresight was frighteningly accurate.
In truth, the Uchiha clan would be exterminated in less than two years.
Yusuke shook his head slowly."The higher-ups of Konoha aren't fools. They've been watching the Uchiha clan for a long time and have already prepared numerous countermeasures."
"The moment the Uchiha clan takes action, Konoha will immediately notice."
"The major clans of Konoha aren't easy to deal with—especially the Sarutobi clan. Over the years, the Third Hokage has used his position to continuously strengthen his own faction."
"The Sarutobi clan's influence has expanded dozens of times."
"The clans affiliated with the Sarutobi have also been promoted and reused, growing stronger and stronger."
"Meanwhile, under years of malicious suppression, our Uchiha clan has continued to weaken."
"Even if we were lucky enough to succeed, the clan would suffer devastating losses. It's very likely that not even one out of ten clan members would survive."
"Moreover, the villagers have believed the rumors spread over the years. They already see us as traitors. Even if we took over Konoha, do you really think the villagers would accept us?"
"Could ten percent of survivors truly rule the entire village?"
"And that's not all."
"Other ninja villages would never miss such a perfect opportunity. Once Konoha is weakened by internal conflict, they will immediately invade."
"With enemies inside and out, the final result would be the complete destruction of both the Uchiha clan and Konoha Village."
"Then what should we do?!" someone shouted angrily."Are we supposed to let those Konoha bastards keep bullying us?!"
"Exactly!""They deliberately withhold resources from us!""They insult us verbally!""They call us traitors!"
"Those bastards are unbearable!"
As Yusuke finished speaking, many clan members became indignant.
Originally, the Uchiha clan had only been barely surviving in Konoha. But after the Nine-Tails incident five years ago, suspicion toward the Uchiha intensified.
The villagers increasingly doubted and excluded them, making their living conditions worse with each passing year.
Uchiha Fugaku let out a long sigh."Yusuke, we've considered everything you mentioned."
"But as you can see, if we fight, there may still be a chance of survival."
"If we don't fight… we won't even have that."
"No," Yusuke said calmly."There is still a way out."
"It just depends on whether you're willing to take it."
"What way out?" Fugaku asked.
"Since Konoha excludes the Uchiha clan so thoroughly," Yusuke said,"why not completely sever ties with Konoha?"
"If Konoha refuses to play with us—then the Uchiha clan won't play with Konoha anymore."
"We leave."
"Impossible!"
"Naive!"
"There's absolutely no way Konoha would allow the Uchiha clan to leave!"
Many of the elders immediately rejected the idea.
"Yusuke, things aren't that simple," one elder said gravely."Even if we want to leave, Konoha will never let us go."
"And once we leave, we'll become prey in the eyes of the major ninja villages."
"When that happens, the Uchiha clan will be hunted down by all five great nations. Our situation would be even worse than it is now."
"Our enemies are spread across the entire ninja world."
Over the years, the Uchiha clan had fought countless battles for Konoha, killing innumerable enemy shinobi. The other great nations hated the Uchiha deeply and would never miss the chance to strike a fallen foe.
Yusuke chuckled softly."I'm not talking about leaving Konoha."
"I'm talking about leaving the ninja world."
"What do you mean, Yusuke?"
"My meaning is simple," he said calmly."I'll take you out of this world."
"Leave… this world?!"
"You've always wondered why my power is so special," Yusuke continued."Why my strength grows so quickly."
"Then I'll tell you."
"It's because I discovered other worlds."
"That world is similar to ours—perhaps even larger."
"It has countless races, powerful forces, and innumerable strong individuals."
"The strongest force there is called the World Government."
"It's a massive organization composed of more than 170 member nations."
"It calls itself 'the world,' rules over everything, and maintains absolute judicial order."
As Yusuke spoke, everyone's hearts pounded violently.
Even Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi, who were closest to Yusuke-niisan, never imagined he was hiding a secret of this magnitude.
Another world.
A world even larger than this one.
A world filled with endless resources, power, and opportunity.
