Do you think konoha was right for persecuting the uchiha?

[Excālibur1]

Danzou ordered Itachi to massacre the clan. It is his choice to massacre or join Uchiha.
Konoha betrayed Uchiha clan as they are from Advanced Bloodline.
Uchiha and Senju clan formed Kononha.
Hashirama and Madara were always fighting.

I think that the Uchiha were a great asset to Konoha, now they just have the "Hyuuga".....
If only one could persuade both Konoha officials and Uchiha leaders, then maybe they would have avoided the genocide.

The Uchiha were not persecuted by Konoha, they were a very revered and clan in Konoha.

It is easy to argue both side.

First and foremost they should of found a peaceful solution. failing that the higher ups were correct to be wary of them.

However they let the Kyuubi attack justify the massacre that would happen later. Unfortunately this could not be stopped because the only people that knew the truth of the attack would be Obito and Minato.

Leading a ninja village would be a hard job. You'd want to segregate the Uchiha to keep the rest of the villagers safe but at the same time you know you shouldn't segregate them.

Konoha's main choices were to leave them be and risk another Madara, or segregate them and risk a revolution. The humanitarians in us want to say they were wrong but pacifism is only an ideal and would never work.

We still haven't seen any real evidence of Uchiha persecution. At all. Oh noes, they had to live in their own district (but were otherwise reverred and respected by almost everyone). None of the 3 replacement choices after Hashirama was an Uchiha! How discriminatory! I mean the only suspect choice we have so far is Hiruzen, and even he was reputedly awesome. Plus they got to be the village police force.

Not enough background was shown yet. I think Tobirama was abit overcareful and afraid of any sort of disturbance to his peace. But the third hokage too? I doubt it. Most of it was Danzo's fault and he resembles Tobirama quite abit. They were just really afraid that they might lose stability and peace.

And no, just because some people from that clan went insane over loss and pain doesn't legitimate destroying the entire group. At least that's not my opinion. Nowadays you'd try to lock the insane ones away and treat/help them. Then you'd try to have good influence on the remaining/innocent ones. The whole killing to solve the problem, made it worse.

Where they really persecuted? I remember reading a chapter where i looked like narutos mom and sasuke mom knew each other or were good friends. Seemed like most uchiha were happy living in konoha.
