Runyu got up very early today, and instead of typing as usual, she took out her hidden blade and wiped the blade with tung oil and silk.

Violence is never the best way to solve a problem...but it is very effective.

After going downstairs, I happened to see Uchiha Fugaku, who had also woken up very early. He was wearing a luxurious black feather fabric. The collar, cuffs, and chest were embroidered with gold threads into a prosperous flame pattern. This was a solemn and solemn costume exclusive to the clan leader.

.

He has changed a lot recently. He is no longer looking for romance, but is cultivating desperately. He is always thinking in his spare time. His whole body is tense like a giant bow with full strings, and he is moving vigorously, as if he is about to inherit at any time.

The crown prince of the throne.

Yes, he will inherit the throne today, but the most powerful official is sharpening his sword and preparing for rebellion, and even sets his sights on his younger brother.

Nine o'clock, Nanga Shrine.

The inheritance of the clan leader does not require too much etiquette. It only requires the previous clan leader to pass on the seal representing his identity to the next clan leader.

Within the Uchiha clan, there is an extremely simple power structure.

Patriarch line and elder line.

The elders have no right to remove the clan leader or influence the replacement of the clan leader, but they have the right to refuse the clan leader's order.

Due to the unexpected death of the clan leader, this ceremony was presided over by the clan elder who was nearly a hundred years old.

He is the only long-lived person in the Uchiha clan. He is not only a living history book but also a treasure of the entire clan.

"Ahem..."

His hair has fallen out cleanly, but his eyebrows are very long and droop freely. His face and neck are covered with age spots, and his body is stooped and he needs a cane to stand.

Uchiha Fugaku stood at the main seat, and sitting on the chairs around him were the First Elder, the Second Elder, the Third Elder, the Fourth Elder, the Fifth Elder, and the Sixth Elder.

The positions behind are the jonins of the Uchiha clan. Due to the war, more than a dozen jonins of the Uchiha clan are on missions and missed this meeting. Thanks to this special day, Runyu also got a personal gift.

In the front position, Uchiha Reizuki stands quietly behind her.

Several elders also wore very formal clothes, especially the elder, Uchiha Tsuru, whose white hair turned black, making him look much younger and more energetic.

...This old guy dyes his hair.

The clan elder first praised the great history of the Uchiha clan, and then began to give examples of the glory of the Uchiha clan, as well as those clansmen who once stood at the pinnacle of the ninja world, and there were even many names that Runyu had never heard of...

As people get older, they become verbose and like to reminisce about the past. Listening to these memories made Runyu sleepy. He glanced at other people from the corner of his eye, and a fanatical look appeared on the younger face, like a devout believer.

He will sacrifice his life for the glory of the Uchiha clan at any time.

This kind of review of history actually has a good brainwashing effect, comparable to the Will of Fire.

To be honest, Runyu had no interest in those so-called honors and seemed to be an alien hiding among the crowd.

Those so-called honors are probably...that certain Uchiha, who single-handedly eliminated the ninjas who did not obey the Uchiha clan. For example, it is said that a certain ninja's attainments in fire escape are close to those of the Uchiha clan...that certain Uchiha...uses fire escape

Genocide.

If the history of the Uchiha clan were compiled into a book, it would be covered with mottled blood stains and the wails of countless dead souls.

They use killing as a means to intimidate the Fire Nation, and use blood to make their enemies fearful.

Runyu was really not interested in these historical facts, so she simply closed her eyes and took a nap.

finally……

The clan leader finally came to the key point of today, and he spoke as loudly as possible.

"Witnessed by the tribe and all the elders, I declare that the eldest son of Uchiha Mountain, Uchiha Fugaku, has officially inherited the position of clan leader."

At this moment, everyone stood up and stood upright. This was recognition of the new clan leader. Runyu, who was hiding in the crowd, also stood upright at this time.

He picked up the seal representing the clan leader's position from the tray, straightened his back and handed it to Uchiha Fugaku under the gaze of everyone.

At that time, he actually had the air of a strong man, as if he had traveled through time and space and returned to the past.

Uchiha Fugaku first bowed to the clan elder, and then carefully held the seal representing the Uchiha clan's supreme power in his hand.

"Wait, I have an objection." Uchiha He suddenly left the crowd and took a step forward, attracting everyone's attention.

"Now Konoha is surrounded by enemies on three sides and is in danger of overthrowing at any time. The Uchiha clan may step into the battlefield at any time to join the war. Our clan needs strong and experienced leaders now."

His voice was not loud and his words were not aggressive. Instead, he was very seductive.

"Great Elder, you are not talking about yourself, are you?" Uchiha Fugaku snorted coldly, the anger on his face was in sharp contrast to the calm Uchiha Crane.

"Fugaku, I am indeed more suitable than you. I will be the clan leader for several generations. When the war is over, you will naturally still be the clan leader of the Uchiha clan." He spoke with great emotion, as if he was doing this for Fugaku's sake, and the crowd watched.

Runyu felt nauseated.

"This is against the rules!" To Runyu's surprise, the first person to stand up and speak for Uchiha Fugaku was today's host, the only remaining treasure of the Uchiha clan.

"Uncle Yun, you must admit that under the same conditions, I did better than Fugaku." Uchiha Crane did not get angry because of the old man's rebuttal, and even bowed slightly to show respect to the latter before speaking calmly.

Open your mouth.

"Cough...cough, rules are rules!" The elder's face turned red, but he still refused to give in.

He has experienced a lot of things in his long life and has long since thought about life and death. He doesn't even care about many things in his heart, such as the rules he has maintained for most of his life.

"The reputation of the Uchiha clan in Konoha has reached its peak. If I become the clan leader, I will lead you to even further possibilities!" Uchiha Crane raised his hands above his head as if to hold the world in his arms.

He no longer bothered to hide his ambitions and directly canceled the excuse of being the acting patriarch.

"Shut up! Uchiha Tsuru, shut up! This is Nanga Shrine. The underground here contains the ashes of the heroes of the Uchiha clan. Their heroic spirits have always protected this place. How dare you say such things here?

"

Uchiha Yun yelled, his face was red and bloodshot, and his eyes looked fierce as if he was ready to splash blood at any moment.

It can be said that Uchiha Tsuru was completely overstepping his bounds. I don’t know where he got the confidence to say such rebellious words.

But except for Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Yun, no one else present seemed to have heard Uchiha Tsuru's speech and ignored his breaking of the rules.

Uchiha He looked deeply at Uchiha Yun, then he waved his hand. Two Uchiha tribesmen wearing black turbans came forward and forcibly took Uchiha Yun away from Nanga Shrine.

"Uncle Yun needs more rest as he gets older. I look forward to bringing the Uchiha clan to its true peak!"

Uchiha Yun's face turned even redder, and when he was about to say something, his mouth was roughly covered, and he was dragged to the door.

At this moment, Uchiha Yun's weak chakra surged, and he broke free from the restraints and used his backhand to draw out the nindo of the ninja behind him. Three magatama were spinning in his eyes, and he seemed to become young again.

"As the great elder of the Uchiha clan, you actually want to change the rules that have been passed down by the Uchiha clan for thousands of years. You are shaking the foundation of the clan! You keep saying that you will lead the Uchiha clan to the top, and you are fighting among yourself for power.

Once the door is opened, our clan will not be far from true decline!"

Uchiha Yun pointed his ninja sword at Uchiha Crane and his voice was full of anger, deafening.

This frail old man turned into fire again and began to burn. The warmth of his body made everyone present look at him with suspicion.

Uchiha Crane's eyes flashed with anger, and he secretly blamed the two people for not doing their job well enough to even look down upon an old man who was half-buried in the ground.

"You will be the sinner of the Uchiha clan!"

Uchiha Yun's reaction was really too intense, even more than that of Uchiha Fugaku, who was the person involved.

In the end, he was dragged away by two Uchiha tribesmen wearing black turbans, but his behavior still affected Uchiha Crane's prestige to some extent.

He pretended to be the new savior of the Uchiha clan, but Yun Uchiha tore off his fig leaf in front of everyone and angrily denounced him as a sinner! A usurper!

As Uchiha Yun was forcibly taken away, the entire shrine returned to silence, and everyone looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes.

In the end, it was Uchiha Tsuru who started to move first, he couldn't wait any longer.

"Everyone sitting here is the core and pillar of the Uchiha clan, and you are all qualified to decide the fate of our clan. Why don't we all vote." Uchiha Tsuru walked up to the center platform and looked around.

Everyone looked at each other, conveying completely opposite emotions and opinions. Some showed regret, some showed anger, and some were full of enthusiasm. In the end, everyone's eyes focused on the first few people.

"If you agree with me as the clan leader, please sit down. If you insist on Fugaku as the clan leader, please continue to stand. If the number of people sitting down does not reach the seventh floor, then I will lose. Fugaku will succeed the clan leader, and I will voluntarily resign as the great elder."

Uchiha Tsuru had a confident smile on his face, this was his specialty.

Back then, he used this method similar to democratic voting to force away Uchiha Madara, who was the clan leader at the time, and let him take charge of the power of Uchiha until the rise of Uchiha Mountain.

Just as he finished speaking, almost half of the people fell in quickly, and they looked at those who chose to stand with interested eyes.

The few people sitting at the front sat down almost at the same time. Uchiha Nobunano inherited the position of Uchiha Nobunto's third elder and became a supporter of Uchiha Crane again.

Except for the second elder, the other elders have already sat down. After all, they are members of the great elder's interest group.

As time went by, one person after another chose to sit down and breathed a long sigh of relief after they sat down.

When everyone sat down, Uchiha Fugaku's face would become a little pale, as if the power in his body was being continuously drained away. When he saw Runyu's slightly encouraging eyes, his face softened slightly.

Everyone was counting in their minds the number of people who had already sat down, which already exceeded 70%. However, Uchiha Crane still did not stop, but looked at the remaining people standing with gentle eyes.

This democratic vote suddenly turned into a choice of camp, and those who had originally planned to stay out were forced to make a choice.

One after another, people sat down under Uchiha He's eyes, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

There were only a few people who still chose to stand. Some of them asked each other with their eyes, and some simply closed their eyes and waited for the judgment to come.

Eighty percent...

Ninety percent...

Uchiha Crane won a great victory, but his face showed no trace of joy.
To be continued...
