After Uchiha Iori and Uchiha Setsuna confirmed their mutual intentions, they did not say goodbye directly, but continued to chat.
The two parties reached a tacit understanding and did not continue to discuss the issue of the clan leader, but began to discuss the situation of the Uchiha Clan.
The atmosphere between the two parties was harmonious, and the conversation ended with both parties scolding Second Hokage Tobirama Senju.
After the conversation, Iori took Shisui to say goodbye and left. After leaving the great elder's residence, he looked back, shook his head, and thought:
[He is such an old fox, with no leaks. Even after talking for a long time, he was unwilling to provide any substantive support. He just stood aside and watched the fight between tigers and tigers.]
[However, he is indeed a Uchiha supremacist and does not care about his own rights, otherwise he would not acquiesce in the fight between me and Fugaku.]
Iori sighed a little, no matter whether he is a good person or not, he is a good elder.
Uchiha Setsuna stayed alone in the room and did not move for a long time. He stared at the place where Iori was sitting before and suddenly laughed gloomily.
"Very good, ambitious, powerful, capable, and popular. Will you be the one I'm waiting for?"
Setsuna Uchiha laughed, and there was a trace of satisfaction and expectation in the laughter.
He seemed to see the qualities he expected in Iori, which were the qualities possessed by the past patriarch, Madara Uchiha.
"I originally thought that person would be Fugaku, but he disappointed me."
There was disappointment and anger in his tone. He had high hopes for Fugaku, thinking that he could become the leader of the Uchiha Clan and lead the people to overcome the current predicament.
However, Fugaku's retreating behavior disappointed him.
"Mangekyō Sharingan is clearly activated, but still dare not stand up and fight for status for the clan."
Setsuna Uchiha's anger gradually emerged as he spoke. His hands unconsciously exerted force, and the teacup in his hand shattered under the pressure.
The sound of the tea cup breaking was clear and sudden, attracting the attention of the ninja standing outside the door.
They immediately Body Flicker Technique came in and knelt on one knee in front of Setsuna Uchiha, ready to receive instructions.
Setsuna Uchiha waved his hand, indicating that it was nothing serious, "Nothing, just pack up and leave."
His voice became calm again, but his eyes still flashed with dissatisfaction with Fugaku and consideration for the future of the clan.
The ninjas took the order and quickly and orderly cleared away the debris, then silently retreated and guarded the door again.
"I originally thought that Fugaku was a talent that could be made, but it turned out that I was only half-right. He is always scheming, fierce and cruel, and he actually didn't even dare to tell anyone about Mangekyo's eye-opening story."
Setsuna Uchiha murmured to himself. This was not the first time he had seen Mangekyo. Such a unique chakra could be hidden from others, but not from a veteran like him.
"What on earth is he thinking about? He is advancing but not advancing, retreating but not retreating. Is this going to make Senju Clan boil a frog in warm water?"
There was a hint of sarcasm in Setsuna Uchiha's question. He felt contempt for Fugaku's hesitation and regretted his past investment in him.
He stood up from the ground and walked around, thinking about how to act.
Setsuna Uchiha already has a plan in mind. Since Fugaku is no longer reliable, there is a more suitable candidate.
"Hero on the battlefield, a man who single-handedly saved the Land of Wind battlefield, a man who can single-handedly defeat the Sunagakure ninja army including Kazekage himself, let me see your courage!"
His eyes shone with anticipation, and he called the ninjas outside the door to him, stared at them closely with his scarlet eyes, and ordered:
"You sent people to publicize the deeds of Uchiha Iori, especially the fact that he defeated the enemy with Mangekyō Sharingan, focus on publicity."
"Then compare it with Fugaku Uchiha to highlight his incompetence. He made us continue to lose people on the battlefield, but he couldn't win a brilliant record."
As the order was given, Uchiha Setsuna laughed unruly. His laughter echoed in the room, and the gloomy atmosphere became even thicker.
He wants to add another fire to this battle, and what comes out of the flames will be the real sword.
Even if the final fuel will be himself, he will not hesitate.
The ninja kneeling in front of Bo Setsuna Uchiha was filled with doubts and uneasiness. He couldn't help but raise his concerns. "That's the clan leader, do you plan to oust him?"
"Obviously it was you who helped him up with one hand. He didn't make any mistakes and was very respectful to you. Now if you backhand him, will it cause conflicts within the clan?"
The words of the ninja were very tactful. The current strength of the radical faction is far less powerful than that in the future. Although the radical clan members fought bravely in the war, they became stronger as they died, and many strong men emerged.
But similarly, at the level of Chunin and Genin, their losses were huge.
Once there is an internal split, the power may soon be surpassed by moderates, thus losing the right to speak within the clan.
In the main story, the reason why most of the clan members are radicals is because of the influence of Night of the Nine-Tails. After being charged with unwarranted charges, the Uchiha clansmen were driven from the center of the village to the edge of the village.
Uchiha, who considers himself innocent and extremely proud, naturally cannot accept such unfair treatment. It is natural for countless ninjas to change from moderates and neutrals to radicals.
But now, when the conflicts between village and ethnic groups are not so intense, the forces of moderates and radicals are still evenly matched.
The actions of the great elder are likely to break the balance between the two factions.
"Humph, is there any difference between Fugaku's current actions and betraying us?" Uchiha Setsuna sneered, his voice revealing dissatisfaction and anger towards Fugaku.
"I don't care about rights, but Fugaku's current performance will only lead Uchiha to a dead end."
Setsuna Uchiha turned his head and stared at Yashiro, his eyes flashing with scarlet light, and he asked, "Yashiro, choose, are you loyal to me or Fugaku Uchiha?"
Yashiro felt tremendous pressure when faced with Setsuna Uchiha's questions.
He knelt in front of Setsuna Uchiha, and the struggle in his heart surged like a tide.
Facing the persecution of the great elder, he had to make a choice. "I... I..., I will always be loyal to you." After making up his mind, his voice became firm and he no longer hesitated.
"Uchiha Iori wants a chance for a fair fight, then I will give him this chance."
He has had enough of Uchiha's situation, being used as a tool by the superiors, bearing the infamy, but not getting the rewards he deserves.
"Uchiha Clan is used to being kept in captivity. When there is trouble, he is taken out to fight. When there is nothing, he is the discipline team. We are responsible for all the infamy, but there is no benefit at all."
Setsuna Uchiha expressed his dissatisfaction to Yashiro.
"If this continues, Uchiha Clan will perish sooner or later, so before I die, I at least want to see the hope of change."
Setsuna Uchiha looked at Yashiro and said, "I see the shadow of Lord Madara in him. If he fails, it means he is nothing more than this."
"But if he succeeds, you will dedicate all your loyalty to him. Do you understand?"
"Yes, I understand." Yashiro replied.
"Then go down and give them a stage to fight head-on. In public, once Fugaku fails, there will be no other excuse."
"Yes." Uchiha Yashiro Body Flicker Technique left, and his figure quickly disappeared into the sunlight.
Uchiha Setsuna looked into the distance and murmured to himself, "I have made mistakes twice. I hope my choice will be correct the third time."
