Chapter 4 - Uchiha Clan Meeting!
Naruto Bai Ye: "I already have a rough plan. Let's start with the clan meeting!"
After some thought, he decided to begin with the clan meeting.
Currently, the primary goal is to see if he can gain the support of other Uchiha Clan members.
This would allow him to remove Fugaku. In peacetime, Fugaku would certainly be a good Clan Head, but things are different now. The Uchiha Clan doesn't need a dove-like Clan Head at this moment.
Naruto Bai Ye: "Everyone, I'm logging off for now. I'll go deal with this matter, and I'll let you know once there's progress!"
Having thought of a solution, Bai Ye decided to act. At least while there was still a chance, Bai Ye didn't want to defect just like that.
Pirate Bai Ye: "Okay, I'm logging off too. Time to train!"
God Valley is approaching, and he needs to train diligently now. If he continues to waste time, he might truly die at God Valley.
To participate in God Valley, one needs at least the strength of Golden Lion and his peers.
Otherwise, people like Silver Axe and Captain John all died at God Valley.
God's Knights, Garp, Roger Pirates, Rocks Pirates.
This war was even more exaggerated than the Marineford War.
Basically, all the powerhouses of this era were present.
It was a three-way struggle between the World Government, the Marine, and the Pirates. Even slightly weaker individuals would die.
Moreover, this battle held many treasures.
Kuma's Nikyu Nikyu no Mi, Kaido's Blue Dragon Fruit. However, Bai Ye was more inclined towards the second one.
But in the Pirate King world, most Devil Fruit actually choose their users.
He wondered if he could obtain it.
If not, Bai Ye could look for others, such as the Vampire Fruit from the movie or the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
In the Pirate world, Devil Fruit abilities are mostly supplementary; true strength lies in Haki.
As for Nika, he hadn't considered it. This particular Devil Fruit could change a person's personality, and it was also a Devil Fruit that chose its host.
The World Government searched for over eight hundred years and still couldn't find it. He felt it was unrealistic to expect to find it immediately.
Shaking his head, Bai Ye cast aside extraneous thoughts. Looking at the young man wielding a spiked club in the distance, a sense of grandeur arose in Bai Ye's heart.
Now, before the start of the story, the great pirates haven't reached their peak, so his opportunity is great!
Konoha World.
After closing the chat group, Bai Ye got up, preparing to attend tonight's clan meeting.
At the clan meeting.
Bai Ye pushed the door open. The noisy atmosphere inside immediately annoyed Bai Ye.
He hadn't been to a Uchiha Clan gathering these days.
As an elite Ninja of the Uchiha Clan, having already awakened the Three Tomoe Sharingan at his age, Bai Ye had always received prioritized training within the clan.
Especially after Itachi and Shisui began to deviate from the Uchiha Clan and lean towards Konoha.
These resources flowed continuously towards Bai Ye.
Although he had participated in many gatherings, he found every one of them boring.
The clan members would only quarrel day after day. The radical faction would talk about rebellion, then the conservative faction would start persuading, and the neutral faction would try to mediate.
These days, gatherings were becoming more frequent, but there were no solutions whatsoever.
"Bai Ye, you're here. Come sit over here!"
Among the radical faction, Uchiha Setsuna waved at Bai Ye, motioning for him to come to his side.
The conservative faction, naturally unwilling to be outdone, Uchiha Tetsu also quickly stood up and said, "Bai Ye, come over here. I have something I want to tell you!"
" "
Can these two old guys even argue about this?
Looking at the two glaring at each other, a strange feeling arose in Bai Ye's heart. The elders of the neutral faction, however, sat calmly without any movement.
For the neutral faction, they didn't need to win over many people; they just needed to mediate.
"Elders, let's talk about whatever it is later."
Bai Ye was silent for a moment. He couldn't go to either side right now.
Mainly because he had always played a role of repeatedly jumping between the conservative and radical factions.
On one hand, he was afraid of getting too deeply involved with the two factions within the Uchiha and possibly not being able to extricate himself.
On the other hand, he wanted to gain some benefits from both sides. Anyway, after the Uchiha Clan was annihilated, most of the clan's assets and Ninjutsu were probably taken by the Konoha F4.
If he took them now, he could preserve some of the Uchiha Clan's treasures. If he didn't, it would only benefit Hiruzen and Danzo later.
However, since he had already decided to act at this moment, he would have to have a good talk with the two of them afterward.
"This!?"
Uchiha Tetsu and Uchiha Setsuna, who had been arguing red-faced, instantly calmed down.
Turning their heads, both looked at Bai Ye with extremely incredulous expressions, clearly not expecting Bai Ye to say such a thing.
They had invited Bai Ye many times in the past, asking to talk privately.
But Bai Ye had always made excuses and never gave them a chance.
Yet now, he wanted to talk to them privately?
But why them, and not just one of them?
Although they still couldn't quite understand, the two didn't dwell on the matter for too long and immediately agreed. Afterward, they stopped arguing over where Bai Ye should sit. Instead, because of their previous dispute, they started arguing again.
It wasn't until Uchiha Fugaku arrived that the scene finally quieted down.
Looking at the crowd below, Uchiha Fugaku sighed. Itachi still hadn't come?
Although the clan no longer allowed Itachi and Shisui to participate in clan meetings because they had joined the Anbu and might leak information to Hiruzen Sarutobi, they were somewhat distrusted by the Uchiha Clan.
Moreover, Uchiha Fugaku had recently found himself understanding Itachi less and less.
Now, he didn't even bother to show up. What was Itachi thinking?
Fugaku's heart was also filled with sorrow. He began to wonder whether sending Itachi to be a spy was a good or bad decision.
If he had known it would turn out this way, he wouldn't have let Itachi be a spy in the Village, causing the boy to be disliked by both sides now.
Shaking his head, Fugaku collected his thoughts, cleared his throat, and said, "Everyone, please quiet down. Today we are here to discuss the unresolved issues from last time. How should we interact with Konoha now, and what should we ultimately do? Does anyone have an answer now?"
