Making an Issue of It

Gentlemen

Under the gaze of a group of powerful ninjas, Uchiha Yoru calmly looked at them, revealing his composure and unwavering demeanor even in the face of adversity.

"The Uchiha Clan has suffered such a calamity, and you all understand their current situation within the village better than I, someone who has been on the front lines for many years."

This sentence directly shifted to the safety of the family, and at the same time emphasized that he had been on the front lines for many years, and subconsciously he felt that everything he had was earned through fighting.

"The Uchiha Clan is in turmoil within the village. Now that I, Uchiha Yoru, have become the clan head, it is my mission to revitalize the clan's glory. Therefore!"

As he spoke, Uchiha Yoru's eyes slowly revealed the Three Tomoe Sharingan as he looked at everyone, his face gradually exuding an aura of cold indifference that brooked no refusal.

"Therefore! My rules are the rules of the Uchiha Clan, and they cannot be challenged, questioned, or violated!"

As the clan leader, Uchiha Yoru was qualified, but his greatest advantage was the support of Elder Setsuna and the forces under former clan leader Fugaku, which allowed him to succeed so smoothly.

However, Uchiha Yoru's arrogant and domineering tone immediately drew anger and dissatisfaction from many members of the proud Uchiha Clan.

Ultimately, it's because Uchiha Yoru hadn't yet established enough prestige after taking office.

However, the next moment! Everyone present, all of whom were elites within their families, showed expressions of shock.

As Uchiha Yoru's Three Tomoe Sharingan rotated, they slowly connected, transforming into a strange pattern.

"Man! Mangekyō Sharingan!"

"How is that possible!"

It was obvious that some people in the front row knew about the Mangekyō Sharingan, and as soon as the words "Mangekyō Sharingan" were uttered, the crowd instantly showed expressions of shock.

Although most of them didn't recognize the Mangekyo, how could someone who had reached this position not know about their family's history? After all, it had only been a few years, and they had all heard of the legends Mangekyō Sharingan.

Some people, refusing to believe it, activated their Three Tomoe Sharingan, only to be even more shocked by what they found.

Under the suppression of bloodline, the Three Tomoe Sharingan in them an instinctive sense of submission and fear in the face of the Mangekyo, much like the fear animals have of their king.

"Any objections now?"

As Uchiha Yoru's indifferent voice echoed, everyone fell silent. Elder Setsuna, standing to the side, could not hide the trembling in his cloudy eyes when he saw those eyes.

It's happened! The Uchiha Clan has finally produced such legendary eyes again.

"Greetings, Chieftain!"

The excited Elder Setsuna immediately bowed to the young Uchiha Yoru, never expecting to see the hope for the clan's rise again at his age.

Elder Setsuna, who had witnessed the terror of those eyes before, was very clear about their meaning.

"Greetings, Chieftain!"

This time, the suppression from the soul and bloodline made everyone feel the terrifying aura of death, and all the doubt and resentment in everyone's eyes disappeared.

The Uchiha Clan is a family that worships the strong and powerful; this is ingrained in their very being. Uchiha Yoru was a member of the same clan, which naturally fueled their fervor.

The Sharingan's power is invincible; the legendary Mangekyō Sharingan does exist.

Under the gaze of the Mangekyo, everyone chose to Sharingan. Only those with Sharingan could sense the power dynamics between them. Among them, the strong individuals who were confident in their own strength instantly understood everything upon feeling the intense pressure.

Why would the clan leader entrust this matter to someone on his deathbed? Why would the elders choose this person so firmly? And why would almost all of the former clan leader's forces submit to him?

Putting aside other factors, absolute power alone was enough for Uchiha Yoru to become the head of this clan that worshipped the power of the Sharingan.

Uchiha Yoru knew the future. The village's fear of the Uchiha could not be appeased by mere forbearance. Therefore, he chose to reveal his Mangekyo directly, thereby uniting the entire clan as one and deterring all those who harbored hostility.

"Chieftain!"

Elder Setsuna suppressed his excitement. He agreed with Uchiha Yoru's decision to reveal his Mangekyo directly, as the appearance of the Mangekyo could instantly unite the entire clan and achieve the goals of boosting morale and intimidation.

"The former clan chief's dying words were to entrust the clan and his family to the clan leader."

Elder Setsuna finished speaking, Mikoto Uchiha gestured to the two children, and the three of them bowed in unison.

"Greetings, Chieftain."

This time, Uchiha Yoru's expression changed slightly, but he didn't say anything. He faced the pleading in Elder Setsuna's eyes and the complicated expressions among the crowd, but those gazes were directed at Mikoto Uchiha, Uchiha Itachi, and Sasuke Uchiha.

When a new king ascends the throne, the bloodline of the old king becomes a threat. This holds true in any era, among any family, and even among wild beasts; it is the law of natural survival.

However, Uchiha Yoru looked at everyone with disdain, nodded directly, and said in a deep voice, "From this day forward Uchiha Itachi and Sasuke Uchiha will be my disciples and enjoy the treatment of young clan leaders."

Uchiha Yoru's disdainful expression towards the former clan leader's bloodline immediately aroused goodwill among all the Uchiha Clan. This goodwill was not out of kindness, but rather pride.

The pride of the Uchiha Clan seemed to be fully displayed in Uchiha Yoru, the new clan leader.

At this moment, Uchiha Itachi seemed to have known everything all along. When he looked up at his teacher, his eyes were filled with gratitude. He knew that if his teacher said such a thing, given his pride, then it was true.

Sasuke Uchiha, however, was still completely unaware of all this.

Among the crowd, Mikoto Uchiha and her father, Elder Setsuna, exchanged glances and nodded slightly.

In large families, women are inherently subordinate. Unless you reach the level of Kage Level and can change your status by overpowering ten others, then forget about it.

"Uchiha Rai, Uchiha..." Uchiha Yoru coldly called out four names, and the four bowed their heads and said in deep voices, "Clan Head!"

"You four failed in your duty to protect the former clan chief. Effective immediately, you are all relieved of your duties in the Konoha Military Police Force and transferred to the Naka Shrine."

The cold voice echoed, and everyone was stunned for a moment, then a warm feeling rose in their hearts.

Logically speaking, regardless of their reasons, all four of them, as guards, should be held accountable for their crimes. However, being punished by being sent to the Naka Shrine is, frankly speaking, a lenient punishment.

"As the clan chief commands!"

The four people bowed deeply in gratitude. From the moment the Mangekyō Sharingan was activated, Uchiha Yoru's cold and domineering style was indeed very similar to that of their Uchiha Clan. They originally thought that he was going to establish his authority, but instead he revealed a merciful method.

It was precisely through this combination of kindness and severity that everyone gradually began to disregard the young clan leader's age.

Although they were demoted to the Naka Shrine and lost their official positions, they were still instructed to focus on their training and wait for their reinstatement.

Elder Setsuna nodded in approval of Uchiha Yoru's methods, noting that they were more ruthless and decisive than Fugaku's. With the clan's situation in Konoha precarious and the four individuals possessing invaluable strength, this was the best and most appropriate course of action.

After all, as a guard, failing to provide adequate protection is indeed a mistake and should be punished. However, in the current situation, preserving more strength for the family is the most important thing.

Immediately afterwards, Uchiha Yoru looked at everyone and issued his orders after taking office.

"This intelligence leak has caused heavy losses to the clan." At this point, Uchiha Yoru slowly turned his head and looked at Elder Setsuna, saying in a deep voice, "I would appreciate it if Elder could make a Hokage Building afterward. The Uchiha Clan needs to recall at least 70% of its elite troops from the border front, as well as the members who carried out the mission."

"I understand."

The second order startled Elder Setsuna even more, but then he showed a look of satisfaction. His actions were decisive and swift.

If this were Fugaku's responsibility, he would probably hesitate and consider many things carefully.

However, Uchiha Yoru seized this opportunity to launch a direct attack, stating that his Uchiha Clan had suffered heavy losses and needed to recall its elite forces, leaving the Hokage helpless.

If the first order was to stabilize the Uchiha Clan, then the second order was to take measures against Konoha.

They're consolidating their power! And the excuse is perfectly reasonable; even the Third Hokage couldn't refute it.

With the clan leader dead, who dares say the losses aren't devastating? And isn't this specifically targeting the Uchiha Clan?

Recalling most of the dispersed forces is entirely reasonable and justifiable.

"The Uchiha Clan has suffered heavy losses. Effective immediately, the Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Division of the Konoha Military Police Force will recruit elite ninjas from the village."

Boom!

This is a bombshell. Everyone knows that the Konoha Military Police Force is actually the Uchiha Clan's private armed force. It's not that the Uchiha don't want to recruit outsiders, but that they dare not.

What do you want to achieve by recruiting so many people?

The Konoha Military Police Force's nine divisions directly announced that four of them would recruit elite ninjas from the village, which is essentially an expansion of their forces.

But the reason is also very straightforward: the Uchiha Clan suffered heavy losses, and even the clan leader died!

Upon hearing this order, some ambitious, or rather, Militant Hawk Faction, immediately revealed excited and fervent eyes.

"As the clan chief commands!"

At this moment, most of the crowd shouted with burning eyes, which showed that under the pressure from the village, the Militant Hawk Faction in the Uchiha Clan's fighting was gradually gaining the upper hand.

Uchiha Yoru's actions directly exposed his ideological direction, revealing him to be Militant Hawk Faction.

However, under Elder Setsuna's worried gaze, Uchiha Yoru's eyes remained completely unmoved.

The Uchiha Clan has lost a clan leader, who was also a high- Kage Level fighter with the Mangekyo Sharingan. If they don't seize this opportunity and fight him to the death, it would be a real waste.

To put it bluntly, they found an outlet for their anger by exploiting the death of a person.

With our clan chief gone, who dares say the loss isn't significant? The Konoha Military Police Force has suffered heavy losses and must recruit more people. As for the existing staff, it's simple: just transfer them out to form task force teams.

Knowing the village's opinion of the Uchiha Clan, and not seizing the opportunity to expand their forces, that's just plain stupid.

"Effective immediately, the Uchiha Clan declares an alliance with the Hyuga Clan, allowing for intermarriage between the two clans and standing together in times of crisis!"

When Uchiha Yoru's third decree was announced, the entire Uchiha Clan was stunned. An alliance? The Uchiha Clan had allies now?

It's been so many years; the entire village's rejection of the Uchiha Clan is ingrained in their very bones. Allies? They themselves have given up hope.

Now they have allies, and the Hyuga Clan!

Everyone knows that this so-called Hyuga Clan is Branch Family, but do they care? The Hyuga Byakugan is known as the second- Dōjutsu Kekkei Genkai and is also the second-best clan in Konoha. Although it has split up now and a Branch Family is not as powerful as before, it is still second only to the Sharingan.

In terms of power, the Byakugan is enough to make the Uchiha Clan treat them as equals.

"Chieftain, is this true?"

Even Elder Setsuna was moved. When Uchiha Yoru's young face revealed no emotion whatsoever, a terrifying thought arose in his mind.

Such a big matter cannot be accomplished in a day or two. From the very beginning Uchiha Yoru and the Hyuga Branch Family have been Alliance.

Then there's only one possibility! The split within the Hyuga Clan, and the fact that Orochimaru took over the power back then, has now become a stepping stone for Uchiha Yoru.

Not only Elder Setsuna, but many others also realized this, and instantly everyone's gaze towards Uchiha Yoru changed.

Fear, respect, and so on—even without relying on the Uchiha Clan, the other party still holds power; they are simply merging the power they wield with that of their clan.

The Elder Setsuna instantly showed excitement upon realizing this. "Excellent! With the addition of the Hyuga Branch Family, the Uchiha Clan's strength has increased rather than decreased."

Especially with an ally, perhaps Uchiha Yoru, the young clan leader who has awakened the Mangekyo, really is the one who will lead the clan out of its predicament.

With three consecutive decrees, the first one combined kindness and severity to win people's hearts. The second one revealed his fangs to the outside world, winning the loyalty of all the Militant Hawk Faction. The third one added an ally to the family, further enhancing his prestige. From this day forward, he had established an unshakeable position within the family.

The power of the Hyuga Branch Family was enough to excite the Dove Faction. They weren't completely against the Hawk Faction, but they believed that since they were all from the same village, they shouldn't fight to the point of tearing each other apart, otherwise it would be difficult to back down.

Meanwhile, the addition of allies from the Hyuga Branch Family has given the Dove Faction a chance to prove that their direction is correct, making it Gate of Opening.

Won over more allies, then everyone can talk about making money peacefully. Isn't that exactly what the Dove Faction are thinking?

This time, the Dove Faction ninjas all showed excited expressions. They secretly cheered themselves on, determined to cultivate a good relationship with the Hyuga Branch Family and establish a genuine friendship.

Uchiha Yoru's three decrees as clan leader directly stabilized the clan, completely eliminating any possibility of instability, while also sending a signal to the outside world.

I'm a young man, not some old-fashioned conservative like Fugaku; I'm full of energy.

"Elder, the Third Hokage and the clan leaders have arrived!"

Just then, an Uchiha ninja returned to report, and everyone in the courtyard and house looked up at their new clan leader.

The Elder Setsuna this scene. He was secretly alarmed. With just three decrees, he had almost won over the hearts of the people and stabilized the clan. This kid was indeed terrifying. No wonder Orochimaru valued him so much.
