"What about the second method?" Uchiha Fugaku asked.

"To completely reverse the relationship between Konoha and the Uchiha, we must find the key to the problem!" Sakura said. "Even if you do well, you can't withstand someone causing trouble from within!"

"Shimura Danzo..." Uchiha Fugaku naturally knew about Danzo, who had always been hostile to the Uchiha. Unfortunately, Danzo was an elder of the Konoha Elder Council, a former classmate of the Third Hokage, and controlled the Root. He couldn't do anything to Danzo.

"That's right. Danzo is a particularly contradictory guy. He thinks he has inherited the will of the Second Hokage and believes that everything he does is for the good of Konoha. But in reality, it's just self-hypnosis!"

Danzo was a person who was not well-liked by almost all Hokage fans. He did things that were mostly controversial, whether it was the death of Uchiha Shisui, the forced extermination of the Uchiha clan, or conspiring with Amegakure and Hanzo to kill Yahiko. Almost everything Danzo did led to the creation of countless tragedies.

Someone once said that when you discover a tragedy in the world of Hokage and don't know who caused it, it must be Danzo. His reputation as the "Blame King of Konoha" was well-deserved.

Although Danzo had done countless wrongs, he never thought he was wrong in his own mind. Instead, he always firmly believed that he was doing it for the good of Konoha. In other words, he was a typical person who deceived himself with lies. He had said so many lies that he even believed them himself.

"Although I don't really understand why he hates the Uchiha clan so much, one thing is certain: as long as Danzo is alive, the Uchiha clan won't be able to live in peace!" Sakura took a sip of hot tea and said, "So, if we want to completely solve the embarrassing relationship between the Uchiha and Konoha, Danzo's life or death is the key!"

"But as a Konoha elder, it's not that simple to get rid of him!" Uchiha Fugaku also wanted to get rid of Danzo, who was always causing trouble behind the scenes. However, Danzo was a Konoha elder, a former classmate of the Third Hokage, and had the Root under his control. With the Third Hokage protecting him, no one could touch him. Otherwise, with what Danzo had done, he would have been torn apart by a group of enemies long ago.

"I know this, and to get rid of Danzo, we need the right timing and the right justification!" Sakura said calmly. "We must make everyone feel that the Uchiha clan is in a weak position and is being persecuted by Danzo, and that they have no choice but to rise up in rebellion. As long as we hold onto this point, when we kill Danzo, we can create some public opinion against him by spreading the things he did before. I believe that few Konoha villagers will sympathize with him."

"We have collected a lot of dirt on Danzo. We can take it out anytime we need it. The only thing we need is the right timing to get rid of him..."

Uchiha Fugaku frowned. Danzo was not weak, and he was always hiding in the Root's base. It was not easy to kill him.

"When we kill him can be discussed later. The key now is to complete the first few steps of the plan before killing Danzo!" Sakura raised her index finger and said, "First, let the Uchiha clan follow what I said before to ease the relationship with the Konoha villagers and try to change their view of the Uchiha. Second, wait!"

"Wait for Danzo to come looking for trouble with the Uchiha?" Uchiha Fugaku was not stupid and naturally understood Sakura's meaning. If Danzo made the first move, then the Uchiha could pretend to be weak and put themselves in a position of being bullied. At that time, when the Uchiha fought back, no one would say they were wrong.

"That's right. With Danzo's personality, the sudden change in the Uchiha's attitude will definitely set off alarm bells in his mind. As far as I know, what Danzo wants most is not to limit the Uchiha's development, but to completely exterminate the Uchiha clan!"

Sakura's voice made Uchiha Fugaku silent. To be honest, he still had some doubts in his heart. Even the Second Hokage, who was hostile to the Uchiha clan, never had the idea of exterminating them.

"I know you are a little skeptical, but time will prove everything I said. Danzo has been waiting for a long time. If nothing unexpected happens, he will act in the next few years!"

Sasuke was already four years old, and there were only three years left before the Uchiha clan was exterminated in the original work.

"He won't be so crazy, will he? Even if Danzo hates the Uchiha clan so much, exterminating them will still cause opposition from everyone. Even the Third Hokage won't agree with him!" Uchiha Fugaku hesitated.

"Under normal circumstances, he really can't do it. But what if the Uchiha clan wants to rebel?" Sakura said. "As long as there is a reason, no one will say anything if he exterminates the Uchiha!"

"Rebellion!" Uchiha Fugaku's hand holding the teacup tightened suddenly, and his face changed. In recent years, there have been more and more voices of dissatisfaction with Konoha in the clan. Not long ago, the elders even talked to him about making the Uchiha the ruling power of Konoha. If Danzo really used this as an excuse, there would be no one who could oppose him after he exterminated the Uchiha.

"Uchiha clan is not a monolithic bloc. In addition to you, Uncle Fugaku, who is the clan head, those elders also have a lot of power. Uncle Fugaku, you want to ease the relationship between Konoha and the Uchiha and return to peace, but that's not all they want!"

In the original work, after Shisui's death, several Uchiha clan members rushed to Itachi and questioned him in a very arrogant manner. Itachi was the child of the Uchiha clan head. Those people dared to speak to him so arrogantly because someone was backing them up. Only the elders could compete with the clan head.

"But this is also an opportunity!"

Sakura suddenly changed the subject and said, "It's time for the Uchiha clan to undergo a transformation. Those stubborn old people who cling to past glory will only be a disaster. Since they want to rebel, let them rebel. It just happens to give them a chance to act against Danzo. Uncle Fugaku, you can also take this opportunity to clean up the Uchiha clan, keeping only the elite who love peace. Let those who want to rebel fight with Danzo!"

"How do you want to do it?" Uchiha Fugaku asked in a deep voice. The power of the elders in the clan was too great now, and he, as the clan head, often suffered setbacks. As Sakura said, he could take this opportunity to clean up those in the Uchiha clan who did not obey orders.
