This was indeed the case. Uchiha Chizan, having plotted for many years, had long since planned a retreat for the Uchiha Clan after leaving Konoha.
In Uchiha Chizan's view, the Ninja Village system was flawed from the beginning. Why should Ninja, who wield power, obey the Daimyo's orders and be constrained by them?
Therefore, Uchiha Chizan had long set his sights on the Land of Fire's Daimyo.
Uchiha Chizan wanted to break away from Konoha, but not by directly rebelling like Uchiha Madara.
Instead, he wanted the Uchiha Clan to migrate to the Land of Fire's capital. Nominally, the Uchiha Clan would still be a Konoha family, but in reality, they would be the true controllers of the Land of Fire.
Of course, controlling the Daimyo was not an easy task.
At least for now, Uchiha Chizan didn't have a method to control the Daimyo without others discovering it.
So, Uchiha Chizan had been diligently researching Genjutsu for years, seeking a breakthrough.
Uchiha Chizan had even thought about the future. Once he controlled the Daimyo, Uchiha Chizan would arrange for Uchiha Clan women to marry the Daimyo as concubines.
Then, they would bear the Daimyo's children, and these children would become the new Daimyo. After several generations, the Land of Fire's Daimyo would be members of the Uchiha Clan. By then, the entire Land of Fire would belong to the Uchiha Clan. Why cling to a single Hokage position in Konoha?
Of course, Uchiha En was unaware of some of Uchiha Chizan's ideas.
If Uchiha En knew, Uchiha Chizan wouldn't need to search for Genjutsu.
In fact, Uchiha En also had the idea of controlling the Land of Fire's Daimyo, but at this stage, Uchiha En still wanted to focus more of his energy on the entire Uchiha Clan.
For those in the hawk faction, Uchiha En wanted to adopt a conciliatory policy. After all, they were of the same clan, and many clan members, like Uchiha Oto, sided with the hawk faction because their parents and elders were part of it.
Not everyone in the hawk faction was a staunch supporter of hawk faction ideology.
Of course, in terms of numbers, the hawk faction certainly outnumbered the dove faction. This was an inevitable result of the deteriorating relationship between Konoha and the Uchiha Clan at this stage.
However, with the initial success of the Police Force's reforms, coupled with Minato Namikaze's mediation, the Uchiha Clan's reputation in Konoha improved significantly.
Furthermore, Danzo and the two Advisors' power had been continuously curtailed during this period, preventing them from doing anything more to the Uchiha Clan.
For this reason, the Uchiha Clan's relationship with Minato Namikaze grew closer.
Minato Namikaze's forces, especially the Anbu personnel, were severely understaffed. The Uchiha Clan's dove faction and Uchiha Fugaku all stood with Minato Namikaze, assisting him with various matters.
That afternoon, Uchiha En was in the Third Squad's office, not slacking off, but rather resting his eyes, when a knock sounded at the door.
"Come in."
"En, sensei wants you to go to the Hokage Office," Kakashi said as he pushed open the door, wearing his Anbu mask.
