The Senju remnants of the Uchiha clan

Chapter 113 Congratulations, Chief White Bird!

"Uchiha Fugaku, you are a great clan leader!"

Seeing that the "real master" of this clan meeting had finally arrived, Uchiha Kawa took the lead in attacking.

He pointed at Shisui's body, his tone was filled with grief and anger: "Is this the village leader you had high hopes for? In order to seize the Mangekyō Sharingan, Shimura Danzo killed Shisui!"

Uchihada took over Uchiha Kawa's words, but he didn't look at Fugaku. Instead, he said to the conservative clansmen:

"Shisui is dead, what else do you wimps have to say? Do you want to go to the Sandaime to appeal for justice? Oh, no, considering your style, you should go and apologize to Danzo Shimura. It was the stupid Shisui who offended the great Danzo!"

Faced with Uchiha Tian's sarcasm, the conservative members of the clan looked unhappy, but they remained silent.

They... have become completely disappointed with the village's top leaders.

As a result, they also had complaints about the clan leader Fugaku, who advocated peaceful coexistence with the village's top leaders - although they themselves thought so too.

"I can go to the Hokage Building now and ask the Sandaime to thoroughly investigate this matter and give an explanation to our Uchiha clan..." Fugaku said in a deep voice.

"Explanation? Are you referring to the unscrupulous shielding of Shimura Danzo?" a radical ninja couldn't help but say.

"Mr. Fugaku, do you still have illusions about the Sandaime and the village leaders?"

"Shimura Danzo is only the elder of the village, not the Hokage! Isn't what he did the result of the tacit approval and connivance of the Sandaime?"

"It is impossible to eliminate the hostility of the Sandaime and the village leaders towards our Uchiha clan. They inherited the will of Tobirama Senju!"

"That's right, no one who has anything to do with Tobirama Senju is a good person!"

"...Yashiro, please use your brain when you speak! Don't let your nonsense get us into trouble..."

Yashiro reacted. He carefully glanced at Shiratori with his peripheral vision and found that the other party was staring at him expressionlessly...

So he sat up straight and pretended that he was not the one who spoke just now.

Too much talk leads to mistakes... Too much talk leads to mistakes... I've been a bit too aggressive...

I hope I won’t be caught and “discussed about life” soon…

Facing the accusations of the crowd, Fugaku remained unmoved. He just raised his head and looked at Shiratori, who was sitting in the position of the clan leader, with a stern look: "Shiratori, what on earth do you want to do?"

Shiratori stared at Fugaku without giving in: "Tonight, I will lead the ninjas of my family, in the name of the Uchiha clan... no, in the name of the Konoha Police Force, to wipe out the Root and kill Shimura Danzo!"

"What's the reason?"

"Shimura Danzo rebelled against Konoha and attempted a coup!"

"Rebellion against Konoha..." A mocking smile appeared on Fugaku's face, "Our actions are more like rebellion against Konoha!"

He turned slowly, his eyes sweeping over every Uchiha member: "Shimura Danzo is the elder of Konoha and the assistant Hokage. Only the Sandaime himself can convict him! We don't have the qualifications!"

"But will the Sandaime convict him?!"

A conservative clan member stood up and looked at Shisui's body on the ground: "Over the years, Shimura Danzo has done so many dirty things! What's the result? He is still firmly sitting in the position of Konoha's elder. On the contrary, we, the Uchiha clan, have suffered unwarranted suppression and targeting even though we have done nothing!"

"The Sandaime was just deceived..." Fugaku's defense seemed pale and powerless.

"Deceived? Shimura Danzo is the Sandaime's 'shadow'. Everything he does is entirely at the Sandaime's behest! The purpose of his existence is to help the Sandaime deal with things that are inconvenient to expose in public!"

Another conservative clan member also stood up and looked directly at Fugaku:
"Lord Fugaku, this time... we don't want to endure it anymore."

Shisui's death became the last straw that broke the camel's back for the conservative clan members. They... no longer had any unrealistic fantasies about the Konoha high-ranking officials, including the Sandaime Hokage.

The members of the clan who discovered that they had been deceived and blinded by the village leaders would become more extreme than the radicals. The conservatives in the Uchiha clan were only in name.

"No matter what, I will not agree to today's action!"

Fugaku's expression was firm: "This is treason and a coup! As long as I am still the head of the Uchiha clan, I will not sit idly by and watch you push the clan into the abyss!"

"What if you are no longer the patriarch?" Bai Niao suddenly spoke.

Fugaku turned his head sharply: "Shiratori, what do you mean by this?"

Shiratori did not answer, and Uchiha Itachi, who was sitting next to Shiratori, stood up and said to Fugaku with a firm gaze: "Father, I think... you are no longer suitable to continue to serve as the head of the Uchiha clan."

"Itachi..." Fugaku's expression became extremely ugly.

As Uchiha Itachi took the lead in sacrificing his own family for the sake of justice, all the Uchiha clan members in the Nanga Shrine stood up!
"Master Fugaku, you have been the clan leader for so many years but have achieved nothing. You have even hindered the family's progress. You are not qualified to be the clan leader!"

"Fugaku, give yourself a dignified exit! We can let you voluntarily resign from the position of clan leader on the grounds of illness."

"Lord Fugaku, please do not embarrass yourself too much. You...abdicate."

"No matter from the perspective of strength or prestige, Lord Shiratori is the most qualified to be the current head of the family."

"That's right! Lord Fugaku, stop being greedy for power and give up your position right here."

The Uchiha Eighth Generation raised his arms and shouted: "Master Fugaku, please step down!"

With the beginning of the Eighth Generation, everyone shouted to Fugaku in unison:

"Please abdicate, Lord Fugaku!"

"Please abdicate, Lord Fugaku!"

"Please, Master Fugaku..."

Fugaku stood in the middle of the room, listening to the sounds from all directions, looking lonely and helpless.

All the tribesmen...became his opponents.

Shiratori walked up to Fugaku. Although his expression showed a bit of reluctance, his words were unquestionable:
"Uncle Fugaku, you are my uncle. Even if you are no longer the clan leader, you can still serve as the clan elder, so... step down."

Fugaku lowered his head and laughed at himself: "Do I... have any other choice? Congratulations... Chief of the White Bird Clan!"

As soon as the words fell, the Uchiha clan members in the Nanga Shrine burst into long-suppressed cheers. They turned to Shiratori and saluted respectfully:

"Meet the White Bird Chief!"

"Meet the White Bird Chief!"

"Meet the White Bird Chief!"

"..."

Shiratori raised his hand and made a downward motion: "Everyone, there is an important mission later, go back and prepare. Tonight we will... destroy the Root and kill Danzo! Avenge Shisui and those tribesmen who were persecuted by the Root!"

"Yes, patriarch!"

The tribesmen left excitedly, but Fugaku stayed. He raised his head, with no sadness or anger on his face, only... relief.

"White Bird, can we talk?"
