Projection magicians starting from the Uchiha clan

Chapter 99 Uchiha Clan Head, Uchiha Iori, Arrives

After the outcome was decided, Iori picked up the unconscious Fugaku and manipulated Susanoo to walk towards the place where his clansmen had gathered.

As Iori drew ever closer, Susanoo grew increasingly enormous, bringing an indescribable sense of oppression to the clansmen in the distance.

Iori seemed like a god approaching the mortal world, and as he drew nearer, the chakra emanating from the giant god became increasingly terrifying.

When Iori walked up to them, some of the tribesmen even involuntarily took two steps back. The sight of that terrifying giant standing beside them inevitably made them nervous.

Iori gently placed Fugaku on the ground, and then released Susanoo.

Fugaku had served as clan leader for several years. Although he had not made any great achievements, he had not made many mistakes either. Naturally, he still had a few loyal subordinates who were willing to serve him.

Uchiha Taiji and the others anxiously surrounded him, their hearts filled with worry as they looked at Fugaku's appearance.

But those who have come here now are all Jonin of the Uchiha clan; the number of medical ninjas is... zero.

The Uchiha clan did not have the habit of practicing medical ninjutsu, so in emergencies they would inevitably encounter the embarrassing situation of not being able to find a doctor.

As Fugaku's loyal subordinate, Taiji could only anxiously plead with Iori, "Please let us take Captain Fugaku back to the village for treatment first, clan chief."

After Fugaku Uchiha's crushing defeat, the question of who would become the clan leader was no longer in doubt.

Although Fugaku's subordinates were disappointed by the loss of power, they were not too dissatisfied because they saw that Iori had not killed Fugaku. They only hoped that Fugaku would be safe and sound.

Iori gave Shisui a look, meaning, "Get ready, I'm about to start showing off."

Shisui immediately understood. This wasn't the first time he had seen Iori's Noble Phantasm. Its healing abilities were so strong that even Tsunade was ashamed of herself. With him around, there was no need to seek treatment from other ninjas.

Shisui stepped forward and reached out to stop Taiji from taking Fugaku away.

Seeing the other person's puzzled expression, Shisui said to him, "The clan leader's special ability can heal Fugaku-senpai's injuries."

"That ability is one that even Lady Tsunade praised highly, and she herself felt inferior to it."

Shisui's words shocked many of the clansmen present. Some were unaware that Iori possessed medical abilities, while others, though aware of Iori's strong healing abilities, were astonished as to be of this caliber.

Taiji lowered his head and pleaded with Iori, "Clan Chief, please heal Lord Fugaku."

Iori nodded, took out her Noble Phantasm, and said, "Every flaw must be repaired."

As the Noble Phantasm was unleashed, the staff emitted a warm light, and golden specks of light fell like raindrops, covering everyone present.

The tribespeople were initially puzzled by the sudden light, but when the golden light fell upon them, they felt an unprecedented sense of comfort.

To their astonishment, they discovered that their past wounds had been healed by Iori's Noble Phantasm at this very moment.

Iori was particularly careful when treating Fugaku, avoiding Fugaku's eyes because he did not yet fully trust Fugaku. The secret of how the Noble Phantasm could heal Kaleidoscope damage was currently known only to Shisui.

With Iori's treatment, Fugaku's injuries improved, and he slowly woke up.

With Iori's treatment, Fugaku's injuries gradually improved, and he slowly woke up.

When he saw himself being treated by Iori, he realized that Iori had not intended to kill him, but rather hoped to subdue him.

Now, Fugaku probably understands what he really meant by his premonition of the future.

Why aren't Iori and Shisui here?

Because they most likely look down on the mere three members of the Uchiha clan, and with Iori's power, becoming Hokage is a sure thing; the only question is how many opponents he will have to kill.

Why is it that he himself issues orders within the clan?

Since he was, after all, the holder of the Kaleidoscope, and since the other party had no intention of killing him, it was only natural for him to actively approach and be given important responsibilities after admitting defeat.

Because the difference in strength was too great, the other party didn't care whether he would rebel or not. Moreover, as a pardoned loser, it would be extremely difficult for him to rebel in a clan that revered strength.

After thoroughly understanding everything, Fugaku stood up.

He walked towards Iori, knelt on one knee, bowed his head, and showed his submission to Iori: "Now you are the clan leader, please lead us."

Seeing Fugaku's actions, the others looked at each other and also knelt on one knee to offer their loyalty to Iori, including Uchiha Setsuna and Shisui, who were already on their side.

Iori helped Fugaku, Setsuna, and Shisui up, then said to the others, "I accept your allegiance. Now let's go back to Naga Shrine, where I will officially become the clan head."

The group quickly returned to the Naka Shrine, the sacred site of the Uchiha clan, where successive clan leaders hold their inauguration ceremonies.

The Grand Elder had prepared everything in advance, and the ceremony could be held immediately upon Iori's arrival.

After the ceremony, everyone returned to the shrine. Iori sat at the head of the table, with Fugaku and Shisui beside her, and Setsuna sitting behind Fugaku.

Iori stood up, his gaze sweeping over the crowd below the stage, and then calmly said, "From today onwards, I am the head of the Uchiha clan."

"Now, I have a few things to announce," Iori said, glancing at the crowd below the stage.

"From now on, all members of the Uchiha clan who become genin can learn all the clan's C-rank ninjutsu."

"A Chunin can learn all B-rank ninjutsu within the clan."

"A Jonin can learn all A-rank ninjutsu within the clan."

"S-rank ninjutsu and clan secret techniques will still be obtained through contributions, and I will also add most of the ninjutsu and secret techniques that I have created and collected myself."

The cheers of the clansmen were deafening. Although the Uchiha clan was arrogant in the past, they were far more generous than the village.

In reality, it's only one or two BC-rank ninjutsu that are given away. If you want more, you still need to contribute more to the clan.

Forbidden techniques and powerful ninjutsu that come with the Sharingan also require a certain status within the clan.

Iori's actions opened many doors of convenience, naturally making the tribesmen happy.

After the celebrations subsided, Iori brought up the second matter.

"The Senju clan has submitted to me, and we have become allies with the Senju once again. However, this time, we are in charge."

Iori announced calmly.

The clansmen looked at each other in surprise, even Fugaku looked astonished, as he had no idea about this.

After they came to their senses, the cheers nearly shook the shrine to its core. Decades after the founding of Konoha, the Uchiha clan once again gained the upper hand in their struggle against the Senju.

"But you are equals, understand? Although I am in charge, this is an equal alliance, understand?"

The tribespeople answered joyfully, "Yes."

They wouldn't actually humiliate the Senju family; they were simply satisfied with their own feelings.

"Then the meeting is adjourned. Elder and Senior Fugaku, come with me for a moment. I have something to discuss with you."

Iori looked at the two of them and said.

Chapter 100 Two mutually exclusive forces, combined into one, give birth to the myriad phenomena of the universe.

Iori led Setsuna, Fugaku, and Shisui into the quiet room. The matters to be discussed thereafter needed to be kept strictly confidential, at least from the Konoha leadership.

The atmosphere became serious as everyone sat down.

Iori slowly opened her mouth, pointing directly to the top-secret information of the Uchiha clan: "Fugaku-senpai, you should have seen the stone tablet under the shrine, right?"

Fugaku looked at Iori with some surprise; this secret was known only to the higher-ups of the Uchiha clan.

In the past, after reading the stone tablet, Madara Uchiha left Konoha and disappeared without a trace. Several years later, he returned to the village for the Battle of the Valley of the End.

Although Fugaku's Mangekyou Sharingan power was still insufficient to fully decipher the contents of the stone tablet, it was enough for him to learn of the existence of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

"Have you already seen it? Could it be that you can see even more? That makes sense, given your powerful eye ability, it's normal to be able to see everything."

Fugaku considered Iori's Susanoo and unimaginable eye power, and he wasn't too surprised that Iori could see what was behind him.

Iori nodded and continued, "The following sentence is: 'The one god of the world desires peace, so he divides the forces of Yin and Yang, and the two forces, which repel each other, become one, and give birth to all things in the universe.'"

"What does that mean? It doesn't mean it's referring to us and the Senju, does it?"

When Shisui was in the Land of Wind, he listened to Iori recount the history of their two families along with Tsunade and Shizune.

It happens to mention the Sage of Six Paths and the entanglement between the Uchiha and Senju clans.

"What does 'us' and 'the Thousand Hands' mean?"

After failing to reach a conclusion, Setsuna and Fugaku heard Shisui's words and turned their attention to Iori, waiting for his answer.

"That goes back to the mythical era, a long, long time ago."

Iori began to explain, but was immediately interrupted by Shisui's laughter.

"Can you get to the point?" Shisui said with a smile. He had already guessed what Iori wanted to say, but he didn't want to hear such a long and tedious story after just one listen.

Iori and Fugaku both glared at him, and Setsuna angrily slammed her cane on the ground, glaring at him furiously.

Shisui realized he had angered everyone, so he shrank back, sat up straight, and prepared to listen attentively.

Iori, however, lost interest in talking and could only keep it brief: "Our Uchiha clan and the Senju clan share the same origin; we are both descendants of the legendary Sage of Six Paths."

“Our eldest son, Indra, is our ancestor, and our second son, Asura, is the ancestor of the Thousand Hands.”

"Is that so? Why is there no record of it in the clan?"

He was surprised and said that even someone as experienced as him had no idea about such a secret.

As a young man, Fugaku had never heard of such a thing before, and his face showed shock and curiosity.

Iori shook her head and said, "Who knows? Maybe it was lost during the long war, or maybe it was destroyed by someone."

Iori made a pointed remark, and then continued, "The information I received is that by combining the power of the Senju clan and the power of the Uchiha clan, one can obtain the power to achieve happiness."

"That's the idea that Madara Uchiha had when he brought the Nine-Tails back to attack the First Hokage."

Iori casually revealed Madara Uchiha's secrets.

"I see. I've never understood why Lord Madara would suddenly return to attack Konoha after leaving, pushing the Uchiha clan to their current state."

"So it's all for obtaining the power of all things in the universe?"

He clenched his fists in an instant, his face showing disbelief and anger.

Although he claims to be the successor of Madara Uchiha's will, he is actually closer to Izuna Uchiha, and his clansmen come first.

He had always been critical of Madara Uchiha's later actions, but he always believed that Madara's actions were for the sake of his clan to take Konoha.

Now that he knows it was just Madara acting out of selfish desires, his anger is hard to contain.

Iori glanced at Setsuna with pity. As an elder of the Uchiha clan, he could say that he had encountered many troublemakers along the way.

Madara from the previous generation was a disaster, as was Kagami from the same generation, and Shisui, Fugaku, and Itachi from the next generation were also disasters. It's a complete tragedy.
