Domineering

Chapter 43: Overbearing

"What are those expressions for?"

Yishū sighed, "That makes me lose the desire to continue speaking."

"Then don't say it."

Fugaku immediately stated, "Regarding Itachi's matter, Setsuna and I will seriously consider it."

"What about my opinion?"

Yishū pointed to his own nose, "Clan Head Fugaku, did I not beat you hard enough just now? You're ignoring me?"

Fugaku sneered, "We just called it a draw. That doesn't prove you're stronger than me."

"At least oppose it now!"

"What the hell?"

Yishū scoffed, "Do you need me to summarize the data of other ninja clans for you?"

Because Yishū had been causing quite a stir recently, many people's attention had turned to the Uchiha.

Yishū waved his hand, "Fine then, I'll put it another way. What's the price for a vice clan head position?"

Yishū casually added, "Itachi and Shisui are both strong, and there's still room for improvement. I don't want them to go to the other side."

Who would dare to mess around at this point?

They didn't fully trust Yishū.

"Hoo!"

Moreover, they were worried there might be a trap.

Yishū tapped on the table, "Uh, what are those expressions? You're not surprised I know, are you?"

Setsuna said seriously, "Be serious. Although you usually seem to mess around, in reality..."

"We must be... great!"

At this, both of them fell silent.

Yishū gave them no face at all and directly said, "A draw? You fought my clone for so long, are you proud? Believe it or not, I'll beat you three meals a day, plus an extra one for a midnight snack."

"Of course... can't say!"

"Ten years!"

Yishū thought for a moment, opened a scroll, took out two pieces of paper from it, and handed them to Setsuna and Fugaku.

"You have a plan too?"

"Yishū, tell us your reasons. Why do you insist on Itachi becoming the clan head?"

Yishū looked at Fugaku as if he were an idiot, "Do I look stupid to you?"

Actually, it was already very chaotic.

They were contemplating the feasibility.

"And what does this have to do with Itachi?" Fugaku gritted his teeth and said coldly, "Could it be that Itachi becoming leader will change all of this?"

"Is that a reason?"

"And!"

"Men, don't make excuses for your own incompetence."

Never seen someone so chaotic!

Fugaku and Setsuna ignored Yishū, nor did they want to deeply ponder the content of his words. They just stared silently at the papers in front of them.

The two were stunned.

The two were speechless.

So foolish!

What's more, Uchiha Yishū only used Water Style. What if he used Fire Style?

As an Uchiha, no matter how unconventional he was, Fire Style was definitely his strongest attribute.

Fugaku hesitated, "Yishū, you don't understand many things. Itachi is my son, so as the clan head, I need to consider other Jonin..."

Yishū shrugged, "From this data, you can see that in ten years, the Uchiha's strength and economy have been in constant decline."

Unknowingly, he had started playing the overbearing style!

"Still hesitating?"

"Sougi once thought the same way," Setsuna said coldly. "But in the end, he degenerated like that."

"Don't be so rigid and dogmatic!"

Name a price?

What do you think this is?

If there really was a Vice Clan Leader position, it would mean the Uchiha's second-in-command.

Kazuki spread his hands helplessly and said, "You're just making excuses again."

Fugaku retorted, "That's because of the ninja wars. Under the ninja wars, which ninja clan's strength hasn't declined?"

Is this a transaction?

This is humiliation!

"Look, look!"

The way he said it made it seem like he had them all figured out.

Fugaku said coldly, "Shouldn't we be surprised?"

"Don't place your hopes on an armed coup. Let alone a year, give you ten more years, and you still won't succeed."

Kazuki's own strength was immense, and with so many subordinates, no one dared to ignore his current influence.

Setsuna was so angry he laughed.

His words carried a heavy dose of sarcasm.

That continuously declining curve deeply pained them.

Why the tough talk?

In the recent battle, they were clearly suppressed.

"Convene a Uchiha Jonin meeting!"

"You... why?" Setsuna looked at Kazuki coldly and asked, "Are you opposing it?"

Just as Kazuki said, someone in the village had been targeting the Uchiha, and it never stopped. Was the Uchiha clan going to be annihilated like this?

Fugaku, in particular, had a grim expression.

"If that's the reason, and they target us for a few more decades, will the Uchiha be wiped out?"

Kazuki said with a smile, "I have my own plan. If you make a fuss now, I'll be put in a very passive position. Therefore, your plan will have to be postponed."

Setsuna quickly interrupted the two's argument, glaring at Fugaku at the same time.

"Consider it an experiment!"

Kazuki was even more puzzled, asking in surprise, "Don't you all have megaphones and are shouting everywhere? How could I possibly not know."

"Who's shouting with a megaphone!"

Fugaku was so angry he almost lost control.

During the battle, they showed you some respect. Don't you really think the Uchiha are sensible?

Fugaku said calmly, "Can you tell me?"

Do you think we're fools?

We're going to rebel, and we'll announce it with megaphones?

Kazuki was stunned, "Many people know, including the Third Hokage. By the time I knew, the news had already gone through several hands. You guys..."

Even though you hid your strength, Kazuki still has bandages on his face.

"Heh, I did it on purpose."

His gaze held a hint of pity.

He is the Clan Leader!

You measure it by price.

Setsuna stopped Fugaku from speaking and looked at Kazuki, saying gravely, "The sacrifices of other ninja are definitely less than those of the Uchiha. There's no helping it. Kazuki, the Uchiha are being targeted, and you know this too."

These figures were like slaps, hitting him hard across the face.

Kazuki said directly, "The clan has just over thirty Jonin in total. The Jonin under you two, and my seven, I'd like to see who dares to object?"

"I've digitized all the data for the Uchiha's development in the next ten years."

When did you, Uchiha Fugaku, become so naive?

"What is this?"

"You..."

Setsuna didn't finish his sentence.

The two took a deep breath.

You know about the situation, fine. You even know the timing?

He still has a trump card!

Kazuki said speechlessly, "You're not going to do both? On one hand, you go along with the other side, putting the Uchiha in a position of righteousness, and on the other hand, you secretly prepare for an armed coup."

If it weren't for Kazuki's immense strength, his ashes would have been scattered and then collected to be scattered again.

Setsuna said coldly, "We're not considering an armed coup for now. You, Kazuki, also deserve some credit for this."

Everyone else could shirk responsibility, but he couldn't.

"Alright! Stop arguing!"

Just as the two were about to erupt in anger, Kazuki spoke first.

"The Third Hokage talks about all sorts of nonsense all day, and I'm tired of listening. So, let's just assist Itachi. I'm curious, if we go along with their wishes, will the village still target the Uchiha."

"A million explosive tags, is that enough?"

The two who were about to erupt in anger immediately fell silent.
