Konoha: This Uchiha is going a bit too far.

Chapter 39 Why is Your Majesty plotting a rebellion?

After the funeral, Yui's life returned to normal for the time being.

Although he knew that Ban had already begun to make some moves, he was even more aware that the most important actor had not yet appeared, so the show could not continue.

Yuzhi had also pondered for a long time how to deal with this huge change.

His feelings towards Obito were the same as his feelings towards Itachi Uchiha; he had absolutely no desire to help others.

Moreover, he could sense that Nohara Rin seemed to have some affection for him, which Obito probably considered his original sin.

Saving him would only cause him more trouble, and besides, he only has Kakashi and Rin in his heart.

Yuzhi avoids anyone who treats him well, as he is capable of ruthlessly killing even those who are kind to him.

Even Yuzhi was thinking about how to trick him without leaving a trace!

"After all, if Lin doesn't die, this guy's kaleidoscope probably won't be able to activate."

Although Haori was wary of Madara, it didn't mean he wouldn't dare to do something secretly.

He dared to think about how to kill even the highest-ranking members of the entire family, let alone try to trick Obito!

However, these are all things for later; without a mission to transfer him, he couldn't do anything.

Moreover, his immediate priorities are twofold: strengthening his own power and building good relationships with the lower-ranking ninjas and commoners within his clan.

Strength goes without saying; in this world, you can't get anywhere without it.

As for the second one, as a time traveler, one naturally knows that "the martial arts world is not just about fighting and killing, but also about human relationships and worldly wisdom."

Since he doesn't intend to rely on any of the existing high-level factions, he naturally has to target those who are already disliked by the family.

Besides, he was originally from this place, and he had been taken care of by these people since he was a child. He still remembered this kindness in his heart.

Even if he can participate in the clan meeting now, it's still the same!

"Why do you look so distracted? What are you thinking about?"

Just as Haori was pondering, Hikaru suddenly walked up behind him and asked calmly.

"It's nothing, I was just thinking about other things."

Yuzhi quickly snapped out of his thoughts, turned around with a smile, and said.

"After all, as a friend, I have already made a promise to you, so I naturally cannot break my word."

Many things need to be planned out to ensure nothing goes wrong and to guarantee our safety.

"Don't think so much, and don't work so hard."

Hikaru shook her head slightly upon hearing Haori's words.

"As long as you remember your promise and keep it, that's fine."

Upon hearing these words, Hagoromo was taken aback. He could sense that Hikaru's attitude towards him seemed to have changed.

But after thinking about it carefully, he realized that the concept of "friends" is actually quite popular in the Naruto universe.

This change also made Yuzhi feel relieved, as what he feared most was that these Uchiha would suddenly fall ill.

"By the way, I might have to attend a clan meeting tonight."

After thinking for a moment, Yuzhi then spoke softly.

"Although I don't want to go, I can't avoid this."

However, this trip will also allow me to confirm some things, since I've already done some things in secret.

During this period, Minato Namikaze had already visited Fugaku Uchiha.

Ultimately, Kakashi left with that eye, along with Minato Namikaze.

This matter caused quite a stir within the family, which led to tonight's clan meeting.

"The Uchiha clan gathering?"

Hikaru frowned instinctively upon hearing Yuori's words; she truly felt a deep disgust for this family.

However, she eventually nodded, indicating that she understood.

"Actually, you can go out for a walk instead of staying at home all day."

Seeing the girl remain silent, Yuzhi thought for a moment before speaking.

"Didn't I tell you before, you're free now, and no one can force you to do anything anymore?"

Why do you lock yourself away and stay home all day? What difference does that make from what you and I have said?

At this point, Yuzhi paused slightly before continuing with a smile.

"Go out and take a look when you have time. Just be careful and use some transformation magic."

Although our eyes are black, why don't we use them to seek the light?

After hearing this "chicken soup for the soul," Guang seemed to fall into thought, but after a moment she suddenly looked up in confusion.

"But aren't we Sharingan users?"

"."

-

"Chieftain, we demand an explanation!"

"The power of the Uchiha clan cannot fall into the hands of others so easily!"

Sitting quietly in a corner of the shrine, Hagoromo watched the excited performance of the people present.

After being choked by the light, he decisively left home and came here.

This was his first time attending a clan meeting, and he had no intention of speaking at all. Moreover, he didn't know most of the people who were attending.

It would be hard for people to believe if they heard it, but within a family, the relationships between family members can be so distant.

But that's the reality; the Uchiha clan's hierarchy was incredibly strict.

Moreover, due to factional issues, they might even become estranged and never speak to each other again, and Yuzhi herself has suffered greatly as a result.

"Gentlemen, I know you have doubts about my choice, but I am doing this for the sake of my family."

From the moment he made the decision, Fugaku Uchiha knew that he would definitely face a large-scale attack.

In fact, when he first heard the news, he was also shocked by Obito's actions.

But as he calmed down, he suddenly realized that this was a huge opportunity!

Whether it's using this eye to further close the distance with Minato Namikaze, or using it as leverage to run for Hokage.

These are all excellent choices, so when he met with Minato Namikaze, he made it clear that Kakashi should continue to have this eye.

Moreover, he was not oblivious to Konoha's moves, so even now, facing his clan's attack, he remained relatively calm.

"If I forcibly take back this eye, the villagers will say that we are 'disrespecting the will of the deceased'."

Especially right after the funeral, and with rumors circulating in Konoha about a new Hokage, we can't take any risks.

"Does the clan leader mean he wants to run for Hokage?"

Upon hearing Fugaku Uchiha's words, Setsuna Uchiha, who had remained silent until now, suddenly looked up at him.

"That's definitely the idea."

Fugaku Uchiha nodded, which was a way of expressing his opinion.

If he could become Hokage, many problems within the clan could be resolved, a fact that Fugaku Uchiha was well aware of.

He had no chance before, but now that he can see hope, he's determined to try his best no matter what.

"It's definitely time for us to become Hokage. I fully support the clan leader's idea."

Uchiha Setsuna spoke calmly, but his eyes involuntarily glanced at Hagoromo sitting in the back row.

Because he discovered that this kid had really figured out Fugaku Uchiha's thoughts.

Moreover, he has been pondering one thing these past few days—is it worth exchanging his Sharingan for the chance to become a Hokage?

Rationally speaking, it's worth it, after all, it's an excellent opportunity.

However, Uchiha Setsuna also agreed with one thing: was it worth it to sell one's bloodline limit in exchange for becoming Hokage?

Moreover, the Hokage should rightfully belong to the Uchiha clan, since it was they who, along with the Senju, founded Konoha!

"but."

Uchiha Setsuna's expression turned serious, and he stared at Uchiha Fugaku as he spoke.

"Clan Chief, may I ask if the clan's honor and bloodline power can be traded?"

Uchiha Setsuna's words immediately made Uchiha Fugaku's face turn ugly.

Almost instantly, the atmosphere in the entire venue became heavy.

Yuzhi sat in the back row with his head slightly lowered, because a smile had already crept onto his lips.

That damned old man keeps using family honor to bind and brainwash himself, but it seems that this thing is still somewhat useful.
