Uchiha Nan let out a mocking laugh. The Lava Release Rasengan Shuriken in his hand dissipated as he said to Uchiha Tomita:
"Lava Release, your trump card?"
"I think you've misunderstood. This is merely a little trick to make them quiet."
Uchiha Nan's tone was disdainful as his eyes swept over the battered Uchiha.
Uchiha Tomita's heart sank, and a bad premonition surged through him. The entire clan assembly had already spiraled out of control moments ago.
What was Uchiha Nan planning to do now?
Did he still have another trump card?
"My real trump card is this."
A powerful Mangekyō Sharingan's ocular power appeared in Uchiha Nan's eyes.
Cold, sinister, and chaotic—a wave of negative emotions surged into Uchiha Nan's mind, filling him with the urge to destroy everything before him.
No wonder the Uchiha who awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan were all madmen. With this power bearing down on them, going insane was only natural.
But then, a cool sensation dispelled everything. The power of the wheel had intervened.
"Ha ha ha ha! So this is the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan!"
"How intoxicating!"
With the wheel's help, Uchiha Nan had already perfectly mastered this borrowed power. Only now did he understand why Sasuke, having just awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, had been bold enough to charge into the Five Kage Summit alone.
Uchiha Nan now felt that one of him could take on ten of his former self. Such an explosive increase in power could easily make a person lose his head.
If Uchiha Nan were to fight Tobirama Senju now, he would not even frown. The might of the Mangekyō Sharingan had far exceeded his imagination. He and a three-tomoe Sharingan Uchiha were already two entirely different creatures.
Uchiha Nan laughed wildly on the platform without restraint, completely unconcerned that Uchiha Tomita might launch a sneak attack at that moment.
"Impossible! Impossible!"
"Power at this level—the Mangekyō Sharingan?!"
"You awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan!"
Uchiha Tomita shouted loudly. The Mangekyō Sharingan was the eyes he had pursued his entire life. The entire Uchiha clan had been seeking those eyes.
A Susanoo that blotted out the sky and covered the earth, possessing the power to cleave mountains and split seas with a single sword!
The power wielded by Lord Madara Uchiha!
Today, it had appeared once again!
"Ha ha ha! The heavens have eyes!"
"The Mangekyō Sharingan has appeared!"
"The divine power of the Uchiha clan!!!"
"The future of Konoha belongs to the Uchiha!!!!"
"."
The Uchiha elders had originally been watching the spectacle, but now they began screaming hysterically.
They had just been startled by Uchiha Nan's single Lava Release Rasengan Shuriken, only to then sense the Mangekyō ocular power radiating from him.
They were intimately familiar with that ocular power. The power that had once appeared in Madara Uchiha had appeared once again.
No one understood the terror of the Mangekyō Sharingan better than they did. Uchiha Nan would be the next Clan Head of the Uchiha clan. No one could stop whatever he said!!
Anyone who dared oppose him would be killed!
The Uchiha elders instantly decided that Uchiha Nan was the future Clan Head. Only he could lead the Uchiha back to the era of Lord Madara Uchiha.
After all, Konoha no longer had Hashirama Senju!!!
Tobirama Senju was dead as well. Who else could withstand the divine power of the Uchiha?
"Clan Head Uchiha Tomita, do you understand my trump card now?"
The Sharingan in Uchiha Nan's eyes was no longer in the tomoe state. It had transformed into a six-pointed star pattern.
This time, the experience scroll had granted him Sasuke's Mangekyō Sharingan.
A Susanoo phantom several dozen meters tall appeared. Uchiha Nan gently drew upon the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan and fixed a blazing gaze on Uchiha Tomita.
Uchiha Tomita was speechless. His eyes held both terror and envy. Those were the eyes he had dreamed of possessing—why could they not have grown in his own eye sockets?
"Uchiha Nan!!"
"He is the Clan Head of the Uchiha!"
"He is the future!!!"
The elders were the first to erupt into wild cheers as they pointed at the Susanoo phantom behind Uchiha Nan.
That was it!
"Susanoo!!"
"The unmatched power of the Uchiha!!"
"Uchiha Nan!!"
"Uchiha Nan!!!"
The roar surged like landslides and tsunamis. Even more fervent cheers than before rang out, and the Uchiha had gone completely mad.
The power of the Mangekyō Sharingan had already made them forget Uchiha Nan's minor mistake from earlier.
Wasn't it only natural for such a powerful man to be a little overbearing?
If someone dared challenge a powerful man's dignity, wasn't death only to be expected?
Those who had survived should be grateful for Lord Uchiha Nan's mercy!
In a matter of seconds, the Uchiha had completely changed their attitude and become supporters of Uchiha Nan.
"Silence!!!"
The moment Uchiha Nan spoke, the roar vanished. Everyone looked toward him as though he were a saint before them.
Even the dozen or so Uchiha who had just been attacked wore devout expressions. They had admitted defeat and submitted completely.
"Uchiha Tomita, I will give you a chance now—a chance to challenge me. If you win, the position of Clan Head will still be yours!"
Uchiha Nan decided to crush Uchiha Tomita's spirit. He had to put on a grand display today. He had saved that experience scroll for so long, reluctant to use it. If he did not use it to show off, it would all be for nothing.
"I... I..."
Uchiha Tomita did not dare make a sound. What was the point of fighting this battle?
He could not win at all. The ocular power radiating from Uchiha Nan alone already placed immense pressure on him.
"Will you slink away and admit defeat without a fight, or will you become a true Uchiha and bravely challenge me? Losing would be nothing to be ashamed of!!"
Seeing Uchiha Tomita hesitate, Uchiha Nan quickly fanned the flames and provoked him. Otherwise, Uchiha Tomita might really fall to his knees.
Uchiha Tomita understood in an instant. Uchiha Nan intended to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys—and he, Uchiha Tomita, was that chicken.
He no longer even had the chance to retreat. Uchiha Nan's words had already forced him into a corner.
Being driven from the position of Clan Head by Uchiha Nan was not shameful. After all, Uchiha Nan had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan. But if he did not even have the courage to fight, what qualification did he have to call himself a proud Uchiha?
At worst, he would simply die!
Uchiha Tomita was not afraid of death, nor did he believe Uchiha Nan would kill him. Uchiha Nan had disguised himself for sixteen years and even awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan—he could not be so brainless. Uchiha Nan still needed him to completely control the Uchiha clan.
"Then let us fight!"
Uchiha Tomita recovered the imposing bearing befitting a Clan Head and looked resolutely at Uchiha Nan.
Hearing Uchiha Tomita's words, Uchiha Nan smiled. He smiled with great satisfaction. Today, he was determined to put on this show.
