Uchiha Clan Meeting!

Uchiha Clan Meeting!

Hokage Bai Ye: [I already have a rough plan. Let's start with the clan meeting!]

After giving it some thought, he decided to start with the clan meeting.

For now, his first priority was to see whether he could gain the support of the other Uchiha clan members.

That way, he could drive Fugaku out. In peaceful times, Fugaku would definitely have counted as a fine clan head, but things were different now. What the Uchiha clan needed was not a dove faction clan head.

Hokage Bai Ye: [I'm logging off first, everyone. I'll deal with this matter, and once there's progress, I'll let you know!]

Having settled on a solution, Bai Ye decided to act first. At the very least, while there was still a chance, he did not want to simply defect like this.

Pirate Byakuya: [OK, I'm logging off too. Time to train!]

God Valley was approaching, so he needed to train hard at this time. If he kept wasting time, he might really die at God Valley.

To take part in God Valley, he needed at least the strength of Golden Lion and the others.

Otherwise, people like Silver Axe and Captain John had all died at God Valley in the end.

The Knights of God, Garp, the Roger Pirates, and the Rocks Pirates.

This war was even more outrageous than the Marineford War.

Pretty much every powerhouse of this era had gathered there.

The World Government, the Navy, and the pirates would be locked in a three-way struggle. Anyone even slightly weaker would die.

And this battle held quite a few treasures.

Kuma's Paw-Paw Fruit and Kaido's Azure Dragon Fruit. Speaking of which, Bai Ye was more inclined toward the latter.

But in the One Piece World, most Devil Fruits actually chose their users.

He did not know whether he could obtain one.

If he could not, Bai Ye could look for other ones. For example, the Vampire Fruit and the Rumble-Rumble Fruit from the movies would both work.

In the pirate world, Fruit abilities were mostly supplementary. What was truly powerful was Haki.

As for Nika...

He had never considered it. That Fruit could alter a person's personality, and it also chose its host.

The World Government had searched for over eight hundred years without finding it. If he wanted to find it right away, that seemed rather unrealistic.

Shaking his head, Bai Ye cast aside his stray thoughts. Looking at the youth in the distance swinging a spiked club, a trace of lofty ambition rose within him.

Now, before the plot began, the great pirates of the sea had yet to reach their peaks. His chances were great!

Naruto World.

After closing the Chat Group, Bai Ye rose and prepared to attend that night's clan meeting.

At the clan meeting.

Bai Ye pushed open the door and entered. The noisy clamor inside immediately made him feel irritated.

It was not as if he had not attended Uchiha clan gatherings these past few days.

As an elite ninja of the Uchiha clan who had already awakened the Three-Tomoe Sharingan at such a young age, Bai Ye had always received focused training within the clan.

Especially after Itachi and Shisui began to turn away from the Uchiha clan and draw closer to Konoha.

Even more resources had continuously flowed toward Bai Ye.

Still, though he had attended many gatherings, he found every one of them dull.

The clansmen did nothing but argue day after day. The Radical Faction called for rebellion, the Conservative Faction tried to dissuade them, and the Moderate Faction muddled through everything.

The gatherings had become more frequent lately, yet there was still no solution whatsoever.

"Bai Ye, you're here. Come sit over here!"

Among the Radical Faction, Uchiha Setsuna waved at Bai Ye, signaling for him to come over.

The Conservative Faction naturally refused to be outdone. Uchiha Tetsuya immediately stood and said, "Bai Ye, come over here. There's something I want to discuss with you!"

These two old men can clash over even this?

Watching the two glare at each other, Bai Ye felt strangely amused. Meanwhile, the elders of the Moderate Faction sat calmly without making any move.

As far as the Moderate Faction was concerned, they did not need to win over many people. They only needed to play peacemaker.

"Whatever the two elders wish to discuss can wait until afterward."

Bai Ye fell silent for a moment. He could not go to either side right now.

The main reason was that he had always played the role of jumping back and forth between the Conservative Faction and the Radical Faction.

On the one hand, he feared getting too deeply involved with either faction within the Uchiha and being unable to extricate himself in the end.

On the other hand, he wanted to gain some benefits from both sides. After all, once the Uchiha clan was massacred, most of the clan's assets and ninjutsu would likely be taken by the Konoha F4.

If he took them now, he could preserve some of the Uchiha clan's treasures. If he did not, they would only benefit the Third Hokage and Danzo later.

But since he had already decided to take action now.

Then afterward, he would have to speak properly with the two of them.

"What!?"

The flushed faces of Uchiha Tetsu and Uchiha Setsuna, who had been arguing fiercely, instantly calmed.

Turning toward Bai Ye, both stared at him with utterly incredulous expressions. Clearly, neither had expected him to say such a thing.

They had invited Bai Ye many times before to speak privately.

But Bai Ye had always found all sorts of excuses to refuse, never giving them an opportunity.

Yet now, he wanted to speak with them privately?

But why both of them rather than just one?

Though they still could not quite understand it, neither dwelled on the matter. They immediately agreed, and afterward, they stopped fighting over where Bai Ye would sit. Instead, because of what had happened earlier, the two started arguing again.

It was not until Uchiha Fugaku arrived that the scene finally quieted down.

Looking over the crowd below, Uchiha Fugaku sighed inwardly. Itachi... still hasn't come?

Although the clan had already stopped Itachi and Shisui from attending the clan meetings, because the two had joined the Anbu and might report information to Hiruzen Sarutobi, they were no longer trusted by the Uchiha clan.

Moreover, Uchiha Fugaku had increasingly realized lately that he could no longer understand Itachi.

Now, he had even stopped coming altogether. What was that child thinking?

Fugaku felt somewhat despondent. He began to wonder whether sending Itachi to act as a spy had been the right choice or the wrong one.

If he had known things would turn out this way... he would not have sent Itachi to spy on the village, leaving that child unwelcome on both sides.

Shaking his head, Fugaku pulled himself together. He lightly cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, quiet down. Today, we're here to discuss the issue we failed to settle last time. How should we coexist with Konoha? What should we do in the end? Do you all have an answer now?"
