Naruto: In the name of the Senju, he made the ninja world tremble.

Chapter 316 Shameless Thief

Upon entering Sage Mode, a three-dimensional mark slowly appeared on Qianyu's previously smooth and even brow.

Like a closed vertical pupil, the patterns are a mix of light and dark turquoise, understated yet exuding a sense of nobility.

The most significant change is in her gentle eyes, with the lines at the outer corners elongated and light blue eyeshadow flicking upwards along the outer corners, giving them a sharp look.

A warm, jade-like milky-white light continuously emanated from beneath his skin. This light did not radiate outwards, but rather clung tightly to his body, condensing into a thin, translucent membrane.

Looking at her student's extraordinary appearance, Tsunade couldn't help but show her approval. Regardless of his strength, just that face alone would attract countless romantic opportunities in the future.

Just as Tsunade was about to speak, Chiba seemed to sense something and immediately withdrew from Sage Mode. "The Third Hokage is here, teacher... you?"

Just as I turned around to remind the teacher to pay attention to her manners, I saw that she had already straightened her clothes, her long golden hair was casually draped over her shoulders, and the smell of alcohol on her body had quickly dissipated.

In just ten seconds, Chiba witnessed a person's transformation from an alcoholic to a powerful Hokage.

"So it's true that women's talent in acting is a gift from God."

Muttering to himself, Chiyu walked towards the gate. As the former Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, he had to give him the appropriate...

respect.

The entire western side of Konoha Village is the exclusive territory of the Uchiha clan. In the past six months, due to the Fifth Hokage's policies, the village's restrictions on them have been greatly reduced.

However, fixed mindsets are hard to change, especially those old fogies who only know how to give orders, who see this as the Fifth Hokage's weakness.

At this moment, in the large council hall of the Uchiha compound, Uchiha Jō was sitting cross-legged on the smooth floor as usual, his right hand supporting his chin on his knee.

His incredibly relaxed demeanor contrasted sharply with the intense and oppressive atmosphere of confrontation that permeated the arena.

"Hmph, such a solemn and dignified place as the clan assembly, yet they behave so casually! What kind of decorum is this? It's utterly reckless!"

A large circle of Uchiha clan members was clearly divided into core, inner, and outer layers. One of the inner layer elders looked at Uchiha Kiyoshi with a reprimanding tone.

Seeing this guy trying to use himself to gain attention, Uchiha Jō rolled his eyes and looked at him with a disdainful smile.

"None of your business, you old codger who only knows how to grumble in the back. Watch out, I'll chop you up after the meeting!"

"How dare you!"

"Arrogant!"

"You don't know your place!"

Uchiha Jō's words angered many of the older Uchiha clan elders. Although he was a pillar of the Uchiha clan, he shouldn't have been insulted like that.

Just as one of the clan elders was about to speak again, an invisible pressure appeared in the hearts of everyone present. The suppressive force of the superiors naturally made them shut their mouths immediately.

As the door opened, Fugaku Uchiha led his eldest son, Itachi Uchiha, into the center of the conference room, with all the clan members bowing slightly in respect along the way.

"Alright, today we're here to discuss the future of our family. Everyone, please speak freely."

Since Fugaku Uchiha revealed that he had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, he no longer participated in the meetings and debates, but instead became the one who made the final decision.

Looking at Uchiha Fugaku, who had his eyes closed and looked dignified, a certain traitor who had already awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan thought that if he went up and attacked him now, he should be able to succeed.

Just as Uchiha Jō was lost in thought, a fierce argument broke out in the arena.

"Under the Fifth Hokage's rule, our Uchiha clan's relationship with the village has improved a lot. In the past, we rarely had the opportunity to enter other departments, with the police department being the only option that was rejected by everyone."

"Now that we are cooperating with the other ninjas in the village, it is obvious that the resistance we encounter has been greatly reduced."

'

A middle-aged ninja stood up and recounted the changes that had occurred during this period to the crowd. Many people nodded in agreement. However, compared to the peace faction, the hawkish faction that advocated rebellion consisted mostly of elders who held real power.

"It's just a sugar-coated bullet. The Naruto lineage wants to lower our guard, make us lose our fighting spirit, and undermine our ancestral precept of fearlessness in battle!"

"I'll say it again: this Konoha, this Hokage position, was won by our ancestors. We have the right to enjoy everything here, while the rest of the village are just sitting back and enjoying the fruits of others' labor."

The Eighth Hokage of Uchiha had an excited look on his face, and his eyes were full of stubbornness. "Now that we Uchiha clan have two Mangekyou Sharingan users, I believe it is time to seize power by force."

"For the honor of the Uchiha, we can no longer endure this."

"For the glory of the Uchiha? Or for your own selfish desires? Eighth Elder, only you know what you truly want!"

Mocking voices came from the crowd, instantly turning the face of the previously hot-blooded Uchiha Yatsuhoshi into a liverish color.

"Uchiha Jō! You insolent bastard, you've been bought off by the Hokage faction too! Don't forget what you did today..."

"Achievements are the result of family upbringing!"

Looking at the lazy Uchiha Kiyoshi, the Eighth Hokage was furious and pointed at him, scolding him angrily.

Hearing this tired old cliché, Uchiha Kiyo couldn't help but pick at his ear, glancing sideways at Uchiha Hachidai.

"Stop joking, Eighth Elder. Before I evolved into the three-tomoe Sharingan, I obtained all the supplies by completing missions that were almost impossible to complete."

"You always tell us not to think about what the family can do for you, but to think more about what you can do for the family."

"You even said it's shameful to waste the training opportunities provided by the family. But your grandson is different. He only has a two-tomoe Sharingan, yet he receives a large amount of supplies every month."

Upon hearing this, a skinny clansman sitting cross-legged behind Uchiha Yatsuho glared angrily at Uchiha Kiyoshi, his body twitching unnaturally.

"Uchiha Kai, don't you dare to pass out, or your grandfather will be heartbroken. Besides, with all these resources, you still haven't managed to evolve into a three-tomoe form."

"Trash is trash, even if you force it to stay!"

Uchiha Jō's sarcastic remarks left everyone present speechless. Although they were usually dissatisfied, the power behind the other party was too great, so they dared not speak out.

Seeing Uchiha Kai, who seemed to be suffocating with anger, everyone couldn't help but purse their lips and forcefully suppress their laughter.

"Enough, Uchiha Jō, don't steer the conversation elsewhere. Today's topic is how the clan should choose in the face of the village."

"Your opposition to the Eighth Hokage means you agree to peaceful coexistence with the Hokage's faction."

The white-haired, gloomy-faced Uchiha suddenly broke the awkward atmosphere and turned to stare intently at Uchiha Kiyoshi.

"No, I am neither a proponent of peace nor a proponent of seizing power by force. I simply dislike some people who take advantage of their age."

o

"A meeting is a meeting. Present the facts and let everyone debate. Don't always talk about the glory of the Uchiha, let alone the founding of Konoha by our ancestors."

"Don't forget, everyone," Uchiha Jō said, glancing at the crowd around him, his mocking gaze finally settling on Uchiha Fugaku, who was at the head of the group.

"When Madara Uchiha defected, his clan abandoned him, didn't they, Elder Setsuna?"

As soon as Uchiha Jō's voice fell, an invisible pressure emanated from Uchiha Fugaku and pressed down on him, causing all the clansmen along the way to sway involuntarily.

Only Uchiha Jō, who was directly under the pressure, paused slightly, letting out a muffled groan, and managed to withstand the pressure.

This scene, when witnessed by Fugaku Uchiha, surprised him while also bringing a touch of sadness to his eyes.

Do all geniuses in a family eventually turn their backs on the family? Shisui was like that, and so was Uchiha Jō.

"Let's end this farce here. Today we're here to discuss how to get along with the village. From now on, Uchiha Hachiro and Uchiha Jō are not allowed to speak. The rest of you, please continue."

Although the tone was very calm, under the awe of those kaleidoscopes, everyone was no longer as extreme as before.

However, the argument between them continued unabated, with both sides sticking to their own version of events and refusing to back down.

"Gentlemen, why don't you listen to what I have to say?"

Itachi Uchiha, who had been silent behind Fugaku Uchiha, finally spoke, drawing everyone's attention to himself.

Although Uchiha Jō didn't know what the weasel wanted to do, he was certain that the other party wouldn't say anything normal.
