After leaving Naka Shrine, Youhu breathed a sigh of relief.
He really had been afraid of being saddled with the Gunbai and becoming the Uchiha Clan Head, leading his people in a fight against the Hokage Faction.
From then on, he would be constrained by his identity as Uchiha Clan Head, handling the clan's petty affairs every day and no longer able to shift his stance freely.
After all, setting aside the fact that Konoha was a military stronghold and the Land of Fire's war machine...
Judging purely by population, the Hokage was little more than the mayor of a small town, while the Uchiha Clan Head was at best the head of a clan-based security force in that town.
So, wouldn't he just be handling petty affairs?
And becoming Uchiha Clan Head also meant risking being controlled by Shisui.
In the Original Timeline, when Shisui and Itachi saw that their clansmen truly intended to launch a coup, they talked about controlling Fugaku to stop it. But before they could act, Danzo beat them to it.
His final words had also been a hint to Tiehuo to speed up his research into transplanting the Wood Bloodline. Once there were other Uchiha with the Wood Bloodline...
Izuna's Inheritance could truly turn from a fabricated story into a real legacy.
They could keep spreading this lie until the entire Ninja World knew about it.
As for Tiehuo forcing Uchiha Fugaku to step down a few days later, Youhu didn't care who became the new Uchiha Clan Head. Whoever it was would still be influenced by public opinion and have to obey his orders.
And if Shisui planned to use Kotoamatsukami...that would be the perfect moment for him to make his move.
What should he do next?
Maybe he should visit Captain Kakashi.
