Chapter 270 Uchiha's New Choice
The Uchiha clan meeting lasted less than an hour, but Itachi felt like he had spent a long year. Facing this group of clan members who only knew how to take and not give, Itachi felt disgusted.

He couldn't understand why this group of people were so stupid and why they couldn't think about the overall situation.

Not to mention how low the success rate of a family launching a coup is, even if the family successfully seizes power in the Hokage Building, the family and the village will be severely damaged and will have no ability to deal with the invasion of foreign enemies.

These ninjas in the family are just a bunch of fools who have no will of fire.

He joined the Root organization where Danzo was, not to obtain information about the Hokage family, but for peace between the village and the family.

Uchiha Izumi noticed Itachi's expression. This ninja, who had just qualified to participate in the clan meeting, was an old acquaintance of Uchiha Itachi. She had always admired Itachi in her heart, but had not expressed her feelings for various reasons.

After noticing the change in Itachi's expression, Uchiha Izumi's eyes showed a bit more doubt.

Although the words of the family members at the clan meeting were a bit extreme, overall there was nothing out of line. Every ninja wants to become Hokage, so why can't the Uchiha ones?
It is always better to vent in a clan gathering than to yell outside. Everyone needs a channel to vent.

After the clan meeting ended, Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Izumi walked out of the Nanga Shrine together. Just as Uchiha Izumi was about to say something, Uchiha Itachi used the technique of instant body movement and left.

Uchiha Izumi, who stayed where he was, was stunned, his expression dimmed.

She thought that after becoming a ninja, she would be able to understand Uchiha Itachi, but now it seems that it was just her wishful thinking. She has never understood Itachi's heart.

She couldn't even comfort Itachi.
Just when Uchiha Izumi was at a loss, Shisui appeared from behind Izumi and said slowly: "Izumi, you go back first, leave Itachi's affairs to me."

After seeing Shisui's figure, Uchiha Izumi nodded quickly.

If there is someone who knows Itachi better than him, it must be Shisui. The rest of the people, even Uncle Fugaku and Aunt Mikoto, do not understand Itachi as well as Shisui.

After comforting Uchiha Izumi, Shisui performed the instant body movement technique and walked towards the depths of the forest.

Not long after, Shisui came to a cliff near the Minamiga River. Guided by the moonlight, he quickly found Uchiha Itachi standing on the cliff.

After walking up to Uchiha Itachi, Shisui slowly said, "You seem to be in a bad mood. Is it because Chief Fugaku asked you to become a spy for the Root, or because of your meeting with Danzo during the day?"

“I think there are some of them…”

Uchiha Itachi sighed softly, his eyes full of complexity.

Immediately afterwards, Uchiha Itachi told Shisui about the conversation between him and Danzo during the day, without hiding anything.

After listening to Uchiha Itachi's description, Shisui frowned and said:

"Itachi, you won't be influenced by Danzo. Danzo's idea of ​​protecting the light in the darkness is good, but don't you hear the deeper meaning behind it?"

"Danzo is asking you, if there is a conflict between the family and the village one day, will you choose the family or the village?"

"I know."

Itachi nodded, and then asked back: "I don't know if I will choose the village or the family when the time comes? But if it's Brother Shisui, he should be able to make the right choice."

Uchiha Shisui fell silent.

If the only choice was between the village and the family, he couldn't make a choice. He didn't want to see a conflict between the village and the family, and he didn't know which was the right choice, leaning towards the village or leaning towards the family.

However, that is all in the past.

After being questioned by Bai Ye and witnessing Bai Ye's strength comparable to that of the Five Kage, he knew that he actually had a third option.

However, this choice requires more determination and courage than favoring the village or the family.

After pondering for a long time, Uchiha Shisui looked at Uchiha Itachi and slowly asked him: "Itachi, I actually have a question for you. Do Uchiha have to stay in Konoha?"

Uchiha Itachi was slightly stunned, then looked at Shisui in surprise.

Shisui cleared his throat and continued, "Since the clan members are not satisfied with what the Konoha high-level officials have done to the clan, and the Konoha high-level officials have always regarded the clan as a scourge, why do they have to stay together if everyone is dissatisfied with each other?"

Uchiha Itachi thought for a moment, then said, "Shisui, do you mean to let the family leave Konoha Village and find a new place to live?"

"That's right." Shisui nodded, "There's no need for our tribesmen to stay in this ninja village that discriminates against us. Since they don't accept us, we can naturally leave."

Uchiha Itachi was very surprised by Shisui's proposal.

After thinking carefully, Uchiha Itachi shook his head: "Brother Shisui, it's a good thing that you have new ideas, but it's impossible to execute them."

"Leaving the village with the people is no different from launching a coup in the eyes of the higher-ups. It's just the difference between defection and treason. The higher-ups will definitely send a large number of ninjas to hunt us down."

"And do you think the clan members will agree to your proposal? They have always wanted to launch a coup to become Hokage, and they will not agree to defection. If Shisui-kun really carries out this plan, he will definitely be under pressure from both the clan and the village."

After a pause, Uchiha Itachi continued:

"Even if we do leave Konoha successfully, we Uchiha will not be able to find a new place to stand. Apart from the village, there is no place that can accept Uchiha."

After listening to Itachi's words, Shisui didn't wait to admit that Itachi had been very thoughtful.

This is also one of the reasons why the clan has never thought of leaving Konoha.

The Uchiha clan was one of the two major clans that founded Konoha. How could they leave Konoha and join other ninja villages to become a second-rate clan? For the Uchiha ninjas who valued honor, that would be worse than death.

However, there are only a few ninjas in the clan.

Shisui didn't know whether those tribesmen who had not yet become ninjas valued honor or life more. Should he make choices for them?
Thinking of this, Shisui sighed softly in his heart.

Bai Ye was right. He was still too fussy. He was always hesitant about major issues and had no opinion of his own.

Perhaps my fate is destined to be very tragic.

Retracting his gradually scattered thoughts, Shisui showed a forced smile: "Itachi, what you said makes sense. I didn't think it through, but being able to have one more choice is also a good thing for the family."

"This is the best way I can think of to avoid conflict between the family and the village."
