"What?"
"The clan head is dead?"
Uchiha Mei looked at the person before her, nearly thinking she had fallen under a genjutsu.
Just a few hours ago, Uchiha Tenzen, the clan head, had still been watching the matches in the arena.
And now he was gone?
It would have been more believable to say Danzo had assassinated him than that he had suddenly died.
"Yes, and the elders have requested that Lady Mei head to Naka Shrine!"
The clansman who had come to deliver the news confirmed that Uchiha Mei had not misheard, then relayed another message.
"Understood!"
Uchiha Mei nodded.
There was no need to guess what the elders intended to do.
They wanted Uchiha Fugaku to take the position.
Only natural!
Among the younger generation of the clan, he was indeed outstanding enough.
Only in his twenties, he was already an Elite Jonin—any Uchiha with Three-Tomoe Sharingan was considered an Elite Jonin—so not many would oppose his succession.
After delivering the message, the Uchiha clansman hurried off to notify the other jonin.
Take note.
The meeting place was "Naka Shrine," which meant it was a full clan assembly.
Only jonin or clansmen with Three-Tomoe Sharingan could attend.
As for Uchiha Mei, since she was the Main Branch's heir—her inheritance rights had not been revoked—they truly had no way to exclude her.
Before long, she brought Uchiha Shizuka and Uchiha Shota with her as they rushed toward Naka Shrine.
Tang Ping was left alone, staring blankly at the sky.
His expression was subtle.
Anyone else would surely not have thought much of it.
The problem was that he was not just anyone. He knew how the Mangekyo awakened.
So there was something wrong with the clan head's sudden death.
The biggest reason for his suspicion was Uchiha Fugaku's reaction.
