The Uchiha coup probably wouldn't have caused more fighting and death, how do we even know what the Uchiha were specifically planning, they weren't exactly stupid. I'm sure they realized they were outnumbered and probably planned on using Shisui and Itachi's Sharingan for mind-control. Itachi never went to any of their meetings in person, he only tailed them and got his information from the Hokage, and I doubt the Hokage knew the inner-workings of the clan. So we really don't know what the tactic in taking over the village would have been.
Regardless of their tactics, The village is not going to roll over and take it.
No matter what route they take there will be fighting, Shisui only has two shots (one after danzo took his eye), Effects of KA seems to be broken when it's pointed out, it's not like people wont notice odd behavior from Hiruzen/Danzo or who ever it's used on or when ever a hyuga uses their byakugan.
the shinobi world finally decided to form an alliance because of a common enemy. Soon they'll loose that fear of a common enemy and continue fighting like they used to
Yet peace remained for 10 or so years after Madara, obito and Kaguya were defeated.
Can you really blame them given the circumstances? If your government was watching your family with suspicion and had been for quite a few decades, would you just sit back and do nothing? If that same government then accused your family of a horrendous crime, for which they have no evidence that your family committed it. Would you just sit back and do nothing?
Yes you can blame them, Hiruzen clearly wanted to talk with them, Besides, The village was right, it was an Uchiha who controlled the kyuubi. If anything their little coup confirmed that they could not be trusted. Instead of them being smart and using itachi to gain trust and bridge the gap between the village and the uchiha, They decided to attack and potentially put the entire fire nation at risk of war.
@bold, There were only two ways of controlling the kyuubi, Mokuton user, Hashirama (who is dead) and Yamato. The other is a mangekyou sharingan
Now since during the attack there was no mokuton presant during the attack, The only other option is a mangekyou sharingan user and the only wielders of that are uchiha.
They were the only choice and in the end they were correct.
It seems like everyone just wanted Sasuke to just accept the fact that his entire clan was massacred for a "peace" that wasn't going to last at all, and for the happiness of a bunch of strangers he didn't even know. This whole show seems to be about conforming to the evils of your corrupt village while also preaching about peace and stopping hatred. At least someone tried to go against the grain, but was foiled simply for plot reasons.
You mean just like how you uchiha fans expect to accept the fact sasuke was going to Kill naruto, Current kages, anyone who opposed him for his idea of "peace" that wasn't going to last either?.
All peace is temporary.
The entire shinobi system is about turning children into mindless bots that are loyal to their villages, and I have to admire Sasuke for putting his love for his family before the village, but after he spoke to the Hokage I was quite disappointed. Itachi's sacrifice was already fulfilled, it seems like Itachi get's to play God in every scenario and get's exactly what he wants. The five-village system should have just been deconstructed from the beginning, Hagoromo knew what he was doing when it came to Ninshu.
It's their and their parents choice for them to become shinobi, No one if forcing it upon them.
Itachi could see the bigger picture, The lives of those lost in a civil war and the potential collapse of the entire nation if other villages decided attack to get their hands on their secret techniques and a few Dojutsu while their at it while the fire nation is fighting amongst it's self easily outways the life of one clan.
Well what isn't admirable about wanting to slaughter an entire village of innocent Men, Women and children that had nothing to do with the uchiha's death.
