Everyone's faces were grim, and the atmosphere inside the room was oppressive.
The Uchiha were merely arrogant and proud with a bit of swagger, but none of them were fools. What kind of clan meeting was held at nearly two in the morning?
So, without a doubt, this was directed at them.
"Fugaku is going too far!"
"We just killed the Root agents. Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo haven't even said anything yet, but Fugaku, this guy, can't sit still."
"If people didn't know better, they'd think Fugaku was Sarutobi Hiruzen's dog!"
"..."
The crowd present was filled with righteous indignation.
Especially when thinking about how Fugaku, the Clan Head, was elected by them back then, it felt as disgusting as eating shit.
Uchiha Jin frowned slightly. Although his speech was interrupted, he didn't lose his temper.
On the contrary.
He raised his hand to stop everyone, his tone appearing very calm: "Before having the strength of Clan Head Madara to suppress the Ninja World, it doesn't matter if we are a little arrogant, but we need to abide by the rules of the game."
"Let's go!"
He took the lead towards the Naka Shrine, and the crowd followed closely behind him.
The many single-minded Uchiha didn't quite understand these words, but Uchiha Jin had proven his ability and was a Mangekyou level powerhouse himself, so they naturally chose to follow unconditionally.
In the words of the Ninja World, Uchiha Jin had proven his vessel!
Ten minutes later, Naka Shrine.
The people from the Neutral and Moderate factions had arrived very early. At this moment, the faces of the people from both factions were very ugly, and their eyes flickered with boundless anger.
The reason was simple!
In their view, the situation of the Uchiha was already bad enough. Uchiha Jin, this suddenly rising Mangekyou powerhouse, not only failed to become the ballast stone to stabilize the family but instead became the biggest instability factor within the clan.
Especially tonight, he actually attacked Root again?
Regarding the crazy actions of the Radical faction the previous few times, fortunately, the Hokage was deeply righteous and ultimately chose to forcibly suppress them.
Today, again?
The unbearable Moderates and Neutrals united today after a long time.
They prepared to use this clan meeting to teach Uchiha Jin a good lesson!
Just at this time, the Radical faction arrived.
Led by Uchiha Jin, ignoring the nearly murderous gazes of the Moderate and Neutral factions, they sat in their own seats.
"Alright, the clan meeting begins!"
Fugaku frowned slightly, then spoke directly: "Tonight, Root lost three squads, and the Anbu lost one squad. Does Elder Setsuna have anything to say about this?"
He was quite direct!
Everyone knew each other too well, so Fugaku naturally couldn't be bothered with pleasantries.
Shisui also added a sentence: "Hokage-sama can hardly suppress Danzo-sama anymore, but the benevolent Hokage-sama still decided to give the Uchiha a chance."
"Elder Setsuna, the Uchiha situation is very dangerous!"
"I hope you can hand over the murderer, otherwise, even if Hokage-sama wants to help us, it will be difficult."
Others also spoke up one after another, almost all accusing the Radical faction.
They all yearned for a stable life and had long been completely assimilated by the village. Coupled with the fact that Uchiha were all single-minded, they truly trusted Sarutobi Hiruzen.
This was—Uchiha thinking!
Their brain capacity couldn't understand things that were too complicated. As long as they decided on something, it was difficult to change, even for Shisui and Itachi, who seemed gentle in the original story.
This was also the reason why Uchiha Jin, having transmigrated so many years ago, never thought about winning over Shisui and Itachi.
Before transmigrating, he also thought it would be easy to change the Uchiha. After all, the timeline he transmigrated into was quite early. But after truly living in the Uchiha clan for a period, he completely threw this idea into the trash can.
Useless!
The seemingly gentle Shisui and Itachi were actually the most extreme Uchiha, which was why they could awaken the Mangekyou.
He, Uchiha Jin, was the same!
Possessing memories of two lives, he was also an extreme person.
It was just that coming from China, he possessed broader thinking and more knowledge.
This was the true reason why, when his parents in this life were taken away by Root, he never thought about seeking help from others. Even now that he had opened the Mangekyou and even controlled the Radical faction, he still hadn't mentioned this matter.
It was precisely because he was extreme that he could awaken the Mangekyou!
"Hehe, I'm sorry!"
"This old man has already retired. If there is anything, discuss it with Jin."
"After our internal unanimous decision, Jin-kun will be the leader of the Radical faction from now on, and will also take over this old man's position as a clan Elder."
While Uchiha Jin was thinking, Uchiha Setsuna spoke with a smile.
After finishing speaking.
He couldn't be bothered to pay attention to everyone, acting like an old god at ease.
But the people who heard these words were directly shocked into speechlessness, their faces full of disbelief.
Fugaku looked astonished: "Elder Setsuna, you want to retire?"
"Yes, is there a problem?" Uchiha Setsuna asked back.
Fugaku fell silent.
Shisui's face looked ugly, and he couldn't help but speak: "Although Jin-kun's strength is good, he is too young!"
"Moreover, the clan Elder also needs to go through a recommendation process. How can it be privately transferred?"
Setsuna's expression remained unchanged, a playful look appearing at the corner of his mouth: "All members of the Radical faction support Jin-kun. Do you want to hold a vote on the spot?"
Shisui fell silent upon hearing this. He knew that voting was useless.
Although he looked down on Uchiha Jin and even faintly hated this guy who caused trouble, he couldn't deny that this guy's prestige in the Radical faction was too high.
Even if the Moderate and Neutral factions disagreed, relying solely on the members of the Radical faction was enough.
After all...
This wasn't an election for the Clan Head!
So after taking a deep breath, he looked solemnly at Uchiha Jin.
"Jin—Elder!"
"Let's continue with the topic just now. This matter is very important to the Uchiha clan. I hope you can give me an answer as soon as possible."
"Hand over the murderer as soon as possible, don't make it difficult for Hokage-sama!"
Subsequently.
Following Shisui's words, everyone looked at Uchiha Jin.
Everyone was curious about how the new leader of the Radical faction would solve the problem before them.
Not handing them over would anger the village; handing them over would cause the faction members to lose faith in him.
However, in response to this.
Sitting beside Setsuna, Uchiha Jin's face remained unhurried, his expression normal.
He had not said a word since entering. Hearing Shisui's inquiry now, he raised his head.
"Hand over the murderer?"
"Shisui, what are you talking about?"
"I am still confused. Root and Anbu agents were killed; why are you asking me to hand over the so-called murderer?"
"It seems you have already decided that the Radical faction killed the people. So, where is your evidence?"
"If you can pin the shit bowl on my Radical faction's head without evidence, then as long as someone is killed in the village, it can be determined that my Radical faction did it, right?"
"Aren't you being too unreasonable?"
"Could it be that you are preparing to use trumped-up charges to kill us?"
"Although my Radical faction and your Moderate faction have some grievances, you can't shamelessly forcibly frame my Radical faction just to fight for the right to speak for the Moderate faction, right?"
