Fugaku spent the whole night thinking about the method proposed by Far Yamanaka, and wondering if there was any other way out besides this method.
No matter what, although the Uchiha Clan is now remote, the clansmen have lived here for so many years, and certainly no one wants to leave, including Fugaku himself.
But after tossing and turning all night, Fugaku couldn't think of any other way. Finally, in order to ease the conflict between the villagers and the Uchiha, Fugaku decided to move.
The next day at the clan meeting, Fugaku announced his idea in public.
The Uchiha Clan couldn't accept it for a while, and expressed their opposition.
But to Fugaku's surprise, Hideo Uchiha stood up and stopped the crowd, and was the first to agree to the relocation.
The Uchiha Clan suddenly quieted down. Both the Great Elder and the Patriarch agreed to the relocation, and their opposition seemed to be useless.
Many people were silent. They didn't want to leave the home they have lived in for so long without any reason.
"Patriarch, why do we have to move? At least tell us the reason! "
"Yes! Great Elder, why? "
The clansmen questioned the two. Fugaku sighed and was about to speak, but Hideo Uchiha spoke first, "Of course, it's for the dignity and pride of the Uchiha Clan!"
Hearing Hideo Uchiha's words, the crowd looked at each other.
"Don't understand? In fact, it's very simple! The Uchiha Clan is the largest clan in the Wood Leaf Village. The recent provocation of these civilians and ninjas is obviously someone using these ignorant people! "
"Great Elder, why do we have to move? Why don't we just continue to arrest these people? "
"Stupid! If we continue to do this, what's the benefit? In the end, we will only fall into the enemy's trap like these stupid civilians. We are the Uchiha, how can we be the same as these ignorant people? "
Hideo Uchiha's words stimulated the pride in the bones of the Uchiha Clan, and as soon as they heard that they would fall into the trap of others, a small number of Uchiha Clan members immediately agreed to move.
Fugaku struck while the iron was hot and continued, "Another purpose of our relocation is to catch the person who is plotting against the Uchiha behind the scenes. If we leave, his plan will definitely fail, and he will take further action. This time, as long as we raise our vigilance, we might be able to catch him in one fell swoop! You can come back when the time comes. "
After listening to Uchiha Fugaku's words, the clansmen didn't have any objections, and most of them chose to agree.
Even if there were still a few people who were unwilling, they could only bury it in their hearts.
After the meeting, Fugaku stopped Hideo Uchiha and said sincerely, "Thank you, Great Elder!"
"This matter is related to the survival of the Uchiha Clan. This old man won't go against you at this time. During this time, I have been thinking about how to avoid conflict between the clansmen and the Wood Leaf villagers. I didn't expect you to come up with a solution first."
"Great Elder is overpraising me. Speaking of which, you mentioned the enemy just now. Do you have any guesses about the person behind this matter?" Fugaku continued.
"Indeed, I can only guess. The person who spread the news is very secretive. I have sent people to investigate for a long time, but nothing has been found. However, I suspect two people, one is the Third Hokage, and the other is Danzo. "
Fugaku listened and nodded. The Great Elder's guess coincided with his.
"You think so too?" Hideo Uchiha asked.
"Well, but compared to the Third Hokage, I am more inclined to believe that Danzo is the culprit. This seems to be his usual method!"
"Both of them are disciples of the Second Hokage. The Second Hokage is a member of the Senju Clan, and has always been hostile to the Uchiha Clan. His disciples are also the same. Both of them are not good people."
Fugaku didn't answer. He still felt that this matter shouldn't have much to do with the Third Hokage.
After that, the two discussed the specific details of the relocation, and then went back to prepare.
Soon, in the Hokage's office, Hatsuki Shigeru received the relocation application from Fugaku on behalf of the Uchiha Clan.
After reading the application, Hatsuki Shigeru agreed without hesitation.
After a few days of investigation, Hatsuki Shigeru's Anbu confirmed that the Root Ninja was hiding in the Third Hokage's Anbu. Hatsuki Shigeru was also sure that Danzo was behind this.
At this time, the Uchiha Clan voluntarily moved. This was the best result, not only could it alleviate the conflict, but it could also make Danzo's plan fail.
After receiving Hatsuki Shigeru's consent, the Uchiha Clan immediately began to move. The Uchiha Clan's Ninja were the ones who moved. Women, children, the elderly, and ordinary people went to the new clan land in advance.
When the civilians of Wood Leaf saw the Uchiha Clan leave, the resentment in their hearts dissipated a lot.
Hatsuki Shigeru also took the opportunity to send the Anbu to spread the news in the village. The content of the news was that the Uchiha Clan didn't control the Nine Tails.
This news spread quickly, and the hearts of the villagers of Wood Leaf began to shake. Coupled with the fact that the Uchiha Clan had moved away, most of the civilians felt that they had done something wrong, and from then on, they stopped looking for trouble with the Uchiha Clan.
In this way, Wood Leaf returned to its former calm, and the only one who wasn't calm was Danzo.
In Root, Danzo and Homura were discussing the next step of their plan.
Danzo didn't expect that the Uchiha Clan would choose to retreat in order to advance. This move made everything he had done so far useless.
"Danzo, are we going to continue to target the Uchiha Clan?" Homura asked.
"No, the Uchiha Clan will definitely be on guard. We can't make a move anymore. Next, we will shift our target to Po Watergate and Shinna Kushina's son!"
"Danzo, you mean … this is not good! After all, he is Column Force of the village. If the news spreads, I'm afraid the other villages will harm him. "Homura said quickly.
"With the Nine Tails protecting that kid, nothing will happen to him. We should seize this opportunity to establish our position in Wood Leaf and prepare for the election of the Fifth Hokage!"
After listening to Danzo's words, Homura thought about it and finally nodded. He and Danzo mobilized their forces to spread another piece of news throughout Wood Leaf.
"Hey! Have you heard? Watergate -sama's son is the Nine Tails Demon Fox! "
"Is that true? How is that possible? "
"Of course it's true! I heard that when Watergate -sama died, he sealed the Demon Fox into his son's body. Now, his son is the Nine Tails Demon Fox! "
"Wow! Then we have to be careful in the future and stay away from this demon fox! "
Just as the two of them were whispering to each other, a man passing by said to the two of them, "You two ungrateful things. The Fourth Generation Lord sacrificed his own son to seal the Demon Fox, and you still dare to make sarcastic remarks here! His son is a hero, just like him! "
The man's words made the two women ashamed, but their fear of Nine Tails was not so easily eliminated.
A few days later, the villagers and ninjas of Wood Leaf were divided into two camps. One side thought that Naruto was the Demon Fox and should stay away from him, while the other side thought that Naruto was a hero and should be respected.
Hatsuki Shigeru didn't say anything after hearing the news and let these people continue to quarrel.
