Uchiha Nan stood there, the smile on his face growing wider, thoroughly enjoying the cheers of the crowd.
"Tekka, the clan meeting is set for tomorrow afternoon, at the usual spot, Naka Shrine."
"Yes!"
Uchiha Tekka nodded in agreement. Uchiha Nan then waved his hand, dismissing everyone.
In just one morning, Uchiha Nan's actions had caused a huge uproar within the Uchiha clan, the shockwave even threatening to overshadow the news of Tobirama's death.
Uchiha Nan intended to overthrow Clan Head Uchiha Tomita and take his place.
One piece of gossip after another, the Uchiha members hadn't enjoyed indulging in such juicy drama for a long time.
It was satisfying, truly satisfying!
At this moment...
In Uchiha Tomita's home, the spacious and bright living room now felt a bit cramped. Over a dozen Uchiha clan members were intently watching Uchiha Tomita, who sat upright.
Uchiha Mei, Uchiha Tomita's wife, carried the tea tray, busy pouring water for the Uchiha present. The usual snacks prepared for guests were no longer enough, causing Uchiha Mei a headache.
So many people arriving at once, and with no prior preparation.
However, the Uchiha seated here were in no mood to enjoy tea and snacks. As supporters of Uchiha Tomita, they were at a loss regarding the events in Konoha over the past two days.
First, Tobirama Senju was killed during negotiations. They hadn't even fully processed this shocking news.
Then, the clan's genius, Uchiha Nan, shattered everyone's impressions by directly challenging the Uchiha Clan Head. It was rumored that he was the one who spread the news of Tobirama's death.
They were all too familiar with Uchiha Nan. If he hadn't awakened the Uchiha's exclusive Sharingan, one could easily mistake him for a member of the Senju clan.
Uchiha Tomita held his pipe, taking puff after puff, trying to alleviate his inner anxiety.
Let alone his subordinates being bewildered, he himself was clueless. In just two days, the situation had changed as rapidly as if decades had passed.
Tomita felt so old, unable to keep up with the times.
Just a few days ago, Uchiha Tomita was still planning to demand more compensation from Tobirama after the peace treaty was signed.
To fight this great war, the clan's trained ninjas had all been deployed to the battlefield.
The value of the weapons, such as shuriken and kunai, provided by the clan's weapon industry to Konoha was an astronomical figure.
And the Soldier Pills were countless!
This was all money!
Ninjay risked their lives for a living, wasn't it all for money?
All sorts of compensation, and Tobirama had been dragging his feet. All of this would have inevitably led to a heated debate.
Bang, and now it was all gone.
Tobirama was dead!
He died suddenly, without any warning.
Uchiha Nan, the Security Force captain he had promoted, had gone mad for some reason, completely changing his usual demeanor and actually attempting to overthrow him and become the Uchiha Clan Head.
Before long, Uchiha Tomita's living room was filled with smoke. Half of the Uchiha present were heavy smokers. They had initially intended to hold back at the Clan Head's house and smoke outside.
Now that the Clan Head had set the precedent, they might as well join in.
Slurp, huff...
An Uchiha blew a smoke ring. Seeing Uchiha Tomita still smoking by himself, he was starting to lose patience and wanted to say something.
"Clan Head, what should we do about tomorrow afternoon's clan meeting?"
As one person spoke, the others immediately chimed in.
"Yes, Clan Head, that Uchiha Nan fellow has probably been planning this for a long time. He was the first to get the news of Lord Tobirama's death."
Uchiha Tomita recalled Uchiha Nan's past behavior, which was completely different from his current actions.
An old fox, having been Clan Head for over a decade, had a firm grasp on people's hearts. He truly hadn't seen through Uchiha Nan before.
Deception!
Could someone really maintain such a facade for so long?
It was truly awe-inspiring to see the younger generation.
Only after Tobirama's death did he reveal his true intentions. Uchiha Nan had long wanted to become Hokage!
Uchiha Tomita inwardly praised Uchiha Nan, truly a genius of the Uchiha, with top-tier disposition and strength.
At this point in time, it was indeed the closest the Uchiha had ever been to the Hokage Position. However, Tomita couldn't quite figure it out.
What gave Uchiha Nan the right?
He asked himself, Uchiha Nan's strength was indeed formidable. This morning, he had easily defeated Kagami Uchiha. Within the Uchiha clan, very few people were likely stronger than him.
Even he himself didn't have absolute confidence in defeating Uchiha Nan. Perhaps in terms of combat power, Uchiha Nan was already the number one in the Uchiha.
But was being Clan Head solely dependent on combat power?
Did he really think he had been Clan Head for so many years for nothing? Uchiha Tomita quickly scanned the Uchiha in the room.
Almost all of them had awakened the Three-Tomoe Sharingan. They were all Jonin from the Uchiha clan, forming an elite squad led by himself. They could even kill Tobirama Senju, but the price the Uchiha clan would have to pay was unacceptable.
What good is being able to fight!
To get by in this world, you need influence and a strong background!
Did they really think that if Tobirama died, they would be the ones in charge? Without the Mangekyo Sharingan, there wouldn't be a qualitative difference between Uchiha members.
"Alright, no more complaining."
"Uchiha Nan is a genius within the clan. He just returned from the battlefield, so it's understandable that he's arrogant. We're all family. I was chosen as Clan Head by everyone after Lord Madara left Konoha."
"Since Uchiha Nan believes he is more suited to be the Clan Head and has even requested a Clan Meeting, we will discuss it at the meeting. Let the Uchiha clan members see clearly who is more suitable to be the Uchiha Clan Head."
Uchiha Tomita interrupted the discussions of the Uchiha members, speaking calmly, but the coldness in his tone made all the Uchiha members present feel it.
Uchiha Nan was in for some serious trouble this time!
"Clan Head, you know me. I will definitely support you!"
"Me too, me too!"
"That brat Uchiha Nan is too arrogant. He has no idea of the sacrifices the Clan Head has made for the clan over the years."
"We must make Uchiha Nan pay the price!"
"..."
For a moment, the Uchiha members collectively pledged their loyalty to Uchiha Tomita.
"Alright, regardless of what happened, Uchiha Nan is a genius of the clan and a hero of Konoha. He's just young and impulsive. When you all were the same age as Uchiha Nan and had the same strength, you might have been even more arrogant than him."
Uchiha Tomita interrupted them, settling on his attitude towards Uchiha Nan. He was still lenient towards him.
Geniuses are always treated with leniency, no matter where they are.
When he gets a bit older, and Fugaku gets a bit older, if Fugaku can't handle the important responsibilities of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Nan would be a good choice.
However, not now. He could voluntarily step down from the position of Clan Head, but he absolutely would not tolerate anyone forcing him out.
