NOVEL NEXT Chapter 2: Another World
---
Kitaro looked at the people of his clan and knew what they always wanted to do.
"Chief, are you really going to proceed with the coup this time?" Kitaro got straight to the point looking at Uchiha Fugaku, the head of the Uchiha clan as well as the leader of the Konoha Military Police Force.
Uchiha Fugaku frowned. "Kitaro , it's not that we want to launch a coup, but Konoha has wronged our Uchiha clan for far too long. You, more than anyone, understand how we've been marginalized in the village."
He continued, his voice filled with frustration. "For years, Konoha has pushed us into the most dangerous battles, where we've suffered countless casualties. But in return, what did we get?"
"Suspicion! Mistrust! Distrust!"
"They even call us traitors"
"Anbu watches our every move. We are under constant surveillance. We haven't even been allowed to leave the village in three years."
"Konoha doesn't see the Uchiha as one of their own. If this continues, our clan may be wiped out in less than a decade. So it's not that we want to revolt, but that we have no choice."
(A/N: Decades? Just say days)
Kitaro listened, silently admiring Fugaku's foresight. The man was correct, though perhaps too optimistic. The Uchiha clan would not last ten years under these conditions—it would only be one or two at most.
Shaking his head, Kitaro replied, "The leaders of Konoha aren't fools. They've been keeping an eye on us for a long time and have laid countless traps. The moment we act, Konoha will know."
"The other clans in the village aren't to be underestimated either, especially the Sarutobi clan. The Third Hokage has used his position to strengthen his clan over the years. The power they've amassed is staggering. Meanwhile, the Uchiha have only grown weaker under their relentless oppression."
"Even if we manage to succeed, the losses would be catastrophic. Only a fraction of our people would survive, if that. And let's not forget the villagers—they've been poisoned by rumors. They won't see us as liberators but as traitors."
"Do you really think we can rule the entire village under these conditions?"
"And that's not all," Kitaro added. "The other ninja villages won't sit idly by while we fight. They'll see Konoha in chaos and take advantage of the opportunity to attack. We'll be fighting on multiple fronts, and in the end, both Konoha and the Uchiha will be destroyed."
Fugaku sighed deeply, his frustration mirrored by the clan members around him. "So what do we do? Let Konoha continue to push us around?"
"Yeah! They treat us like garbage!" one elder yelled.
"They call us traitors, even though we've shed blood for them!" another added.
The crowd murmured in agreement, their voices tinged with anger and resentment. Ever since the Nine-Tails attacked Konoha five years ago, the Uchiha had been blamed and ostracized, making life increasingly difficult.
Fugaku, visibly troubled, said, "Kitaro, we've considered the risks. But you see, we have to try something because, sooner or later, we'll be left with no other way out."
"There is a way out," Kitaro responded calmly. "It just depends on whether you're willing to take it."
The crowd fell silent. "What way?" Fugaku asked, skeptical.
"If Konoha continues to reject our clan, why not separate entirely?" Kitaro suggested. "If they don't want us, let's leave."
"Leave?" Fugaku repeated, disbelief evident in his voice. "That's impossible!"
"No way Konoha would allow it!" an elder shouted.
Kitaro chuckled. "You're thinking too small. Even if we wanted to leave, you're right—Konoha wouldn't let us go easily. But I'm not talking about leaving Konoha. I'm talking about leaving this world."
The room went silent, everyone staring at him in confusion.
"What do you mean by 'leaving this world'?" Fugaku asked, perplexed.
"Exactly what I said," Kitaro answered. "You've always wondered why my abilities are so different, why my power grows so quickly. It's because I've found something unexpected—another world."
(A/N: As someone who didn't read the Synopsis, Very sad I can't spoil and say which world)
Gasps filled the room. Even Shisui and Itachi, who were closest to Kitaro , were visibly shocked. They had never heard him mention this before and they didn't even undertand what he meant.
"There's another world out there, similar to ours but far larger. It has many races, many powerful factions, and countless strong warriors. The most powerful force in that world is called the 'World Government,' an organization made up of more than 170 affiliated nations that governs most of the world, maintaining the judicial order."
As Kitaro spoke, the eyes of the Uchiha clan members widened with suspiciously and curiosity.
Another world?
Bigger than their own?
With so many resources and power?
could something like this even be real?
A whirlwind of thoughts raced through their minds. Doubt, curiosity, and excitement mixed together as they tried to grasp the possibility of such a world existing beyond their own. Could this truly be their salvation?
Fugaku though he was kidding and asked to make sure "And you propose we… what? Go to this other world?"
Kitaro nodded. "Yes. There, we wouldn't be bound by Konoha's chains. We could build a new life. A new future for the Uchiha. It's a risk, but one worth taking, don't you think?"
The room remained tense as the weight of Kitaro 's words settled in. This was no longer just about a coup. This was about the future of the entire Uchiha clan.
