Impeachment!

Although Uchiha Fugaku was weak and indecisive as clan head, that did not stop some within the clan from continuing to follow him.

At that moment, Uchiha Fugaku's heart was filled with doubts and concerns. He had heard about what had happened within the clan over the past month.

He simply could not understand why two factions with severely opposing ideologies had come together, and even showed signs of reconciliation. To him, it was utterly incomprehensible.

Having served as clan head for so long, he naturally knew just how irreconcilable those two factions had become.

The fact that they had not truly come to blows already meant they still had some regard for the clan's rules. Of course, it might also have been because of that kid, Uchiha Shisui.

Other people might not know much about Shisui. They only knew he was extremely strong, but they did not know why.

But as elders, they naturally could not possibly be unaware that Shisui possessed the Mangekyō Sharingan!

Yet now, everything was different. The younger members of both sides had begun interacting, and the elders of both sides had begun sitting down to talk. Such changes truly exceeded Uchiha Fugaku's understanding.

Normally, this would have been a good thing. After all, he too longed for peace within the clan. It was just that he had never been able to achieve it before, nor did he know how.

But this harmony had completely exceeded his control, and it was a harmony that excluded him!

When something was out of the ordinary, there had to be something behind it. Perhaps This World did not have such a saying, but it had a similar meaning.

In particular, Uchiha Fugaku had noticed that a figure was hidden within all this, and the owner of that figure was Uchiha Habara!

There was no doubt that Uchiha Habara was a genius of the clan. He and Shisui were classmates, and at a young age, he had gone to the battlefield and experienced the cruelty of war.

Moreover, Habara had later awakened the Three-Tomoe Sharingan and passed the examinations to become one of Konoha's jōnin.

No matter how one looked at such a young man, his future was bright. Yet this kid had seemed very different from other Uchiha clan members since childhood.

Not only was his personality different, even his choices differed from those of others.

He had joined none of the clan's factions, nor had he entered the Military Police Force. Instead, he had become a Mission Ninja.

How could Uchiha Fugaku feel at ease when someone so out of place among the clan members had now gotten involved with people from those factions?

And from the very beginning, today's Clan Meeting had given him an uneasy feeling. No matter how uneasy he felt, however, he had to steady his emotions now.

Because he was the clan head of the Uchiha Clan!

"Clan Head, everyone has arrived. I think we can begin," Uchiha Takechi suddenly said as Uchiha Fugaku's thoughts churned.

The voice brought Uchiha Fugaku back to his senses, but he quickly Shook Head. "Wait a little longer. Itachi has returned, and I think he should come over."

"My apologies, Clan Head, but we do not want Itachi to take part This Time." As soon as Uchiha Fugaku finished speaking, Uchiha Zong stood and spoke softly.

Uchiha Zong's words made Uchiha Fugaku's brows furrow slightly, and the unease in his heart grew even stronger.

They would not allow his son, Uchiha Itachi, who possessed the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, to participate—and the one saying this was actually Uchiha Zong. Uchiha Fugaku was utterly stunned!

Who was Uchiha Zong? He was an elder of the Moderates, and because he had cultivated Uchiha Shisui, he had gradually gained leadership over their faction.

Strictly speaking, his son Itachi could be considered one of his followers, yet now Zong was taking the initiative to refuse Itachi's participation—and he was doing so together with Uchiha Takechi.

Anyone could tell that, after such a change, tonight's matter would probably be far more troublesome than imagined!

"What do you mean?" Before Uchiha Fugaku could speak, a young man seated among the crowd suddenly spoke up in dissatisfaction. "The Clan Head's son will also be our future clan head. What right do you have—"

"Hirano, don't speak." Before the young man could finish, Uchiha Fugaku quickly interrupted him.

This young man was one of Uchiha Fugaku's followers. He was loyal and adhered to tradition, and his strength was not bad either. It was just that his perspective was somewhat limited.

The elders of the two factions had jointly made this decision. For a clansman who merely Hold Office in the Military Police Force to speak up in objection—wasn't that courting disaster?

Although Uchiha Fugaku was the clan head and could forcefully oppose them, he was unwilling to imagine, much less see, what would happen afterward.

The clan was already chaotic enough. He did not want it to become even more chaotic.

"Clan Head." Uchiha Hirano still wanted to say something, but Uchiha Fugaku quickly cut him off.

"Since this is the request of the two elders, then I shall respectfully comply," Uchiha Fugaku said calmly. "And Hirano is only a young man. He does not know better. I hope the two of you will not take offense."

After finishing, Uchiha Fugaku silently watched the two men. His attitude had been made very clear, and Uchiha Hirano also seemed to realize his impulsiveness.

Although the kid still looked somewhat indignant, he obediently fell silent. For a moment, the meeting hall within the shrine was exceptionally quiet.

"Rest assured, Hirano-kun was only thinking of the Clan Head," Uchiha Takechi said, Shook Head. Then he continued, "Can we begin?"

"Let's begin." Uchiha Fugaku took a deep breath before speaking indifferently. "I Don't Know what the two of you wish to discuss at this Clan Meeting?"

Uchiha Fugaku was clearly somewhat emotional, but even so, he could endure it. After all, this was also for the peace of the clan.

"This Clan Meeting is extremely important. After discussing it with Elder Zong, we both believe that the current situation needs to be properly addressed."

Uchiha Takechi spoke blandly, then turned to Looked Towards Habara, who was sitting with Shisui.

"Habara-kun, come over. At this Clan Meeting, you are the main figure."

Along With Uchiha Takechi's words, everyone looked toward Habara. Those who already knew what would happen next appeared calm.

The few who did not know looked somewhat confused. Uchiha Fugaku was among them, but the unease in his heart was growing ever stronger.

He could sense that this matter was likely aimed at him. After all, the two factions had joined forces and excluded him.

They had even kept his son outside. That alone explained a great deal, but he was still puzzled as to what these people intended to do.

What was the purpose of putting Habara forward? And wasn't Shisui the same? Could it be that Shisui had developed new ideas?

Amid all these doubts, Habara stood and walked to the center of the hall.

He first gave a slight nod to Uchiha Takechi and Uchiha Zong, then finally turned his gaze to Uchiha Fugaku.

"Everyone, I believe you all know me, so there is no need for a Self-Introduction.

"Although I personally do not wish to stand here, the situation within the clan has already become too severe to ignore.

"And the one responsible for All of This is our Clan Head!

"I stand here today to impeach our Clan Head, Uchiha Fugaku!"
