"There's a traitor!"
Uchiha Tenxiu's eyes were cold.
This traitor was intimately familiar with everything about the Uchiha Clan.
Furthermore, they were able to obtain intelligence about the Uchiha Clan's external explorations in advance, and clearly understood Uchiha Raimon's personality. That's why they weren't worried about Uchiha Raimon bringing a large number of people out, and used this to set up a hidden trap.
They tricked Uchiha Raimon out to kill him.
Thereby fabricating Elder Raimon's death.
At that time, no matter how much the other Uchiha Clan members investigated the truth, they would only find that Elder Raimon's purpose in going out was for the Millennium Elixir, and he was ultimately killed. As for who killed him, or why he was killed, there would basically be no results.
As for why they absolutely had to kill Uchiha Raimon, Uchiha Tenxiu didn't know.
Nor did he want to know.
Anyway, after learning that the Earth Spider Clan, a family definitely connected to the Senju Clan, had joined in.
Uchiha Tenxiu no longer wanted to investigate the reason.
He directly targeted Senju Tobirama of the Senju Clan.
Within the entire Senju Clan, only the hawk faction, led by him, would constantly wish to destroy the Uchiha.
The reason they hadn't acted was simply because they didn't have enough opportunities.
And they didn't have enough timing.
Now, with someone within the clan colluding with the enemy, this ambush was likely just the beginning.
As for the clan traitor collaborating with the higher-ups.
Uchiha Tenxiu wouldn't blindly assume someone was a traitor based on his past life's perspective, but Uchiha Kagami's father, Uchiha Ming, was highly probable.
Because of the Uchiha Elite Ninja policy back then, Uchiha Tenxiu later paid great attention to this person. Through various methods, he gathered a lot of intelligence and learned that this scoundrel, after Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama's first defeat, was captured. He initially refused to surrender, but after Senju Tobirama imprisoned him for a period, his resolve quickly softened. He then began helping the Senju Clan persuade other Uchiha members who were fighting to the death, heavily promoting the good of the Senju Clan and Uchiha Madara's selfish behavior.
In Uchiha Tenxiu's view, this person was like those traitors in his past life, who initially spoke of "drawing the blade to make a swift end, not to betray youthful aspirations," but after experiencing setbacks and facing life-or-death crises, they immediately betrayed even more fiercely. Moreover, to prove their choice was correct, they madly persecuted their own people, fearing that others' correct actions would reveal how despicable their own actions were, thus becoming fanatical converts.
Therefore, for this Uchiha Ming, Uchiha Tenxiu's arrangement for him was to thoroughly brand him as a traitor.
As for whether he was a true traitor.
It didn't matter.
Loyalty that isn't absolute is absolutely disloyal.
Since the other party wanted to go all the way with the Senju Clan.
Even if it was just a possibility.
Uchiha Tenxiu would not let it go.
Whether it was the current Uchiha Ming, Uchiha Kagami, or their future descendant, Uchiha Shisui, they were all brain-dead characters who ate the clan's food and frantically betrayed the clan.
Keeping them would only pollute the Uchiha Clan's genes.
If they were to be killed, it should be done quickly.
Next, Uchiha Tenxiu simply needed to skip the process and directly pin this ambush incident on him.
Anyway, producing the correct outcome was enough.
Regarding this.
Uchiha Tenxiu immediately told Uchiha Raimon his suspicions, the process naturally involving some alterations. It didn't involve anything from his past life's plot, but Uchiha Tenxiu revealed everything he could deduce through wisdom without any concealment.
For example, why was the intelligence leaked? Wasn't this the Uchiha Clan's exclusive intelligence personnel?
For example, the targeted assassination plan, such as why only Uchiha Raimon was ambushed, and not others?
Did this not indicate that Uchiha Raimon's existence must have obstructed something?
Could it be that only if Uchiha Raimon disappeared, could the enemy's certain plans proceed smoothly?
And did this not precisely indicate that?
The enemy's calculated plan was within the Uchiha Clan.
Then, who could cooperate with the enemy's plan? Could someone who wasn't from the Uchiha Clan cooperate with these plans?
So, how did the enemy cause such a situation in the Uchiha Clan? Did it necessarily require the cooperation of the clan's high-ranking members?
The result was obvious.
Naturally, there was a collaborator of the enemy among the Uchiha Clan's high-ranking members. They were just waiting for Uchiha Raimon to die, and then both sides would formally begin their cooperation to conspire against the Uchiha Clan.
Uchiha Tenxiu told Uchiha Raimon this entire theory of conspiracy, completely unlike the "great smart ones" like Uchiha Itachi in later generations, who thought they were geniuses and said nothing, communicated nothing, leading to all sorts of misunderstandings and conflicts.
Facing Uchiha Raimon, the person Uchiha Tenxiu trusted most in the Uchiha Clan and his greatest support, Uchiha Tenxiu truly racked his brains for his safety.
After all, the hidden conspiracy had already made it clear that Uchiha Raimon's fate was death. Therefore, if one plan failed, a second one was almost certain to appear.
How could Uchiha Tenxiu remain indifferent at this moment?
"What, a clan traitor! How dare they be so audacious!"
Uchiha Raimon's eyes widened in disbelief.
One must know, from the Sengoku period until now.
The Uchiha Clan was not without traitors.
But at that time, most of it was due to personal vendettas within the Uchiha Clan, leading to internal strife.
For example, facing the dangers of the Sengoku period, the strict system implemented within the entire clan caused some clan members to harbor deep resentment.
In addition, the clan members' emotions were overflowing, and the activation of the Sharingan led to mental instability, thereby triggering a series of conflicts.
But those were matters from the long period of war.
Even in the last hundred years, there had been few internal conflicts within the Uchiha Clan; most were against external enemies.
There was even less of a situation like today, where it was clearly a time of peace, a moment for peaceful coexistence, yet they chose to collude with outsiders against their own clan members.
Were they out of their minds?
Uchiha Raimon truly couldn't understand.
Should one hesitate between outsiders and one's own people?
As an Elder who had lived through the Sengoku period, Uchiha Raimon truly did not understand what actions were appropriate in times of peace.
Nor did he understand the filth within it.
However, when this was spoken by.
Uchiha Tenxiu, whom he had personally trained as a disciple, Uchiha Raimon felt exactly as he had thought.
Uchiha Raimon chose to trust his own people.
Simply because Uchiha Tenxiu was worthy of his trust.
"Then, who exactly is it?"
"Could it be because of the alcohol profits, or that guy Uchiha Kin? But could it be just for these meager profits that they would directly attack a clan Elder? Don't they know that the clan should be united now to resist the pressure from the Senju Clan? The Uchiha Clan's strength has reached its lowest point, and the clan members haven't grown yet. Aren't they afraid that the Uchiha Clan's decline will make that dog, Senju Tobirama, completely resolve to exterminate us?"
Uchiha Raimon guessed wildly.
"In my opinion, the other party is not motivated by so-called profit. While Elder Uchiha Kin has a significant conflict with Elder Raimon, he is not the culprit. Instead, he is a deliberate target set up by the other party. With everyone knowing about your significant conflict with him, if anything were to happen to you, it would only make him fall under the suspicion of all clan members."
"Furthermore, although Elder Uchiha Kin controls the clan's commerce, and you previously rejected his alcohol factory's production and sales, he wouldn't act over such minor matters."
"After all, a mere 5 to 20 times profit. If he had thoughts of attacking you, he might as well seize the businesses of other clans; at least he would receive our clan's help."
"Therefore, the most suspicious one is not him, but certain people who support him, such as—Elder Uchiha Ming!"
Uchiha Tenxiu declared confidently.
