Unifying the Clan, Shisui's Corpse

The atmosphere in the clan meeting shifted due to Senya's Mangekyo.

Everyone fell into a state of ecstasy, with only Senya remaining calm and composed.

Fugaku looked at Senya and said something that caught everyone off guard:

"Senya, you are right. I have been a truly, truly failed clan head."

"Since you have already awakened the Mangekyo, why don't you take over the position of clan head?"

"Compared to me, I believe that under your leadership, the clan will surely be able to restore the glory of the past!"

His words carried a tone of self-mockery, with a faint, lingering sense of relief.

Since the Nine-Tails Rebellion, the conflict between the clan and the village had left him exhausted, yet there were no better candidates within the clan to take the mantle.

He had intended to wait a few more years for Itachi to hone his skills before passing the position to him, but he never could have imagined this.

Itachi had actually been brainwashed by Hiruzen's Will of Fire. Ever since he vaguely sensed this, his worries regarding the succession had only grown.

Fortunately, Senya's words today had awakened him, not to mention that Senya had also awakened the Mangekyo!

The elders and clansmen were first shocked by Fugaku's opening statement, but after hearing the rest, they all expressed their support one after another.

"That's right! Senya has awakened the Mangekyo; as long as we are under his leadership, we will surely restore the glory of the Uchiha!"

"Only the strongest is worthy of being the leader of the Uchiha!"

"The era of Fugaku is over! The future will be led by Senya!"

Everyone changed their attitude, all because Senya had awakened the Mangekyo.

Senya sat down slowly, resting his chin on his hand with an indifferent expression:

"Don't get it wrong, I have no interest in being the clan head."

"..."

Everyone was left completely broken by Senya's single sentence...

Uchiha Setsuna's mental defense broken, Uchiha Yashiro's mental defense broken...

Total of 104 people broken, Sharingan ocular power increased by 20%.

The system notification echoed in his ears. Having finally milked everything he could, a faint, imperceptible curve appeared at the corner of Senya's mouth.

"Why! Do you want to abandon the clan just like Uchiha Madara did back then!?"

Senya's words struck directly at Uchiha Setsuna's past memories.

It wasn't just Uchiha Setsuna; all the older generation and Fugaku were left feeling a lingering fear, terrified that Senya might walk the same path as Uchiha Madara.

Continuing to sit on the cushion, Senya had originally intended to stop breaking their mental defenses, but the old fool Setsuna just had to go looking for trouble.

"Elder Setsuna, I call you an elder out of respect for your age, but if you provoke me again, I will put you in the ground!"

Cold sweat instantly crawled down Uchiha Setsuna's spine, though this also caused the others to heave a sigh of relief.

It seemed Senya had no such intentions.

Senya turned his head to look at Fugaku:

"Can you all stop overcomplicating things? You aren't exactly smart to begin with, so why bother using your brains?"

"I don't want to be clan head simply because I hate the trouble, but also to prevent Sarutobi and Danzo from realizing I've awakened the Mangekyo."

"However, I wouldn't mind serving as deputy clan head."

"I won't repeat what I said earlier. As for what to do next, have the Police Force and all ninjas at the Chunin level or above gather at the clan training grounds the day after tomorrow."

These words finally put everyone at ease; after all, in such a situation, a genius had emerged who was both powerful and capable of seeing the big picture.

It gave them hope that they could stand against Hiruzen and Danzo.

The remainder of the clan meeting was spent handling trivial clan matters, and incidentally, the position of deputy head of the Police Force was arranged for Senya.

Uchiha Chikura dared to be angry but dared not speak, for Senya possessed the Mangekyo, after all.

And so, the clan meeting concluded with only Uchiha Chikura nursing his grievances, while everyone else left satisfied.

"Senya, why did you bring me here?"

Once the meeting ended, Senya brought Fugaku to a waterfall more than ten miles west of Naka Shrine.

Senya had familiarized himself with the surrounding environment back when he moved to the edge of the village, and within the clan's current territory, this was the only waterfall.

Senya looked at the pool beneath the waterfall:

"I'm looking for Shisui's corpse. He should have died here."

"How is that possible! Shisui died here?"

Upon hearing this, Fugaku's first reaction was that it was impossible. He knew Shisui's strength well; during the Third Great Ninja War, the young Shisui already possessed the strength of an elite Jonin, having single-handedly forced back a surprise attack unit from the Hidden Mist.

However, the fact that Senya told him this meant that Senya was certain of it. Could it be a Mangekyo ocular technique?

Thinking of this, Fugaku stopped asking. A Mangekyo's unique ocular technique was every Uchiha's trump card; how could it be easily revealed to others?

What he could not have imagined was that knowing all this was simply because Senya was a transmigrator, and his Mangekyo had only just awakened; he hadn't even figured it out himself yet.

The two searched in the water for a moment and discovered Shisui's corpse at the bottom of the pool.

"Damn it! Who on earth did this!"

Shisui had not come to the clan meeting tonight because he had been assassinated. Fugaku looked at Shisui's hollow eye sockets, which had already been gouged out.

He could not help but think of his son, Itachi; could it be that Itachi had also...

Seeing Fugaku once again lost in his wild imagination, Senya stated the truth directly:

"There are footprints of two people here; it should be that Shisui and Itachi were here not long ago."

"Could it be that Itachi killed Shisui!?"

Itachi had always treated Shisui like an older brother; he was one of the few friends Itachi had. Fugaku could not believe that his own son would actually do such a thing.

Seeing Fugaku starting to overthink again, Senya interrupted once more:

"Sigh, it is obvious that Shisui threw himself into the river to commit suicide. He probably wanted to help Itachi awaken his Mangekyo before he died."

Suddenly, Fugaku wore an awkward expression. It seemed he had once again imagined too much drama, but why would Shisui commit suicide? And where had his eyes gone?

"Forget it, forget it. Given Shisui's personality, he has likely already left a contingency plan. You just need to cooperate with me in a play at home tomorrow."

"A play?"

Fugaku's brain overloaded once again. Why act, and for whom?

At this moment, Senya was also feeling numb because of Fugaku. It was no wonder he was called a "stirrer of shit" by so many people in his past life; this brain of his really wasn't very sharp...

"Who else but your precious son? If we don't act to pull him back to the right path, he will sooner or later do something heaven-defying."

After saying this, Senya did not want to say any more. If Fugaku could understand, then he understood; if he still didn't get it, then one could only say that this guy was no longer just a stirrer of shit, but had evolved into a firework that blows up cow dung.

Storing Shisui's corpse into a sealing scroll, Senya returned home.

He sat cross-legged on his bed, meditating.

Walking deep into his own inner world, a towering black Susanoo stood firm.

It was clad in armor, with a war skirt tied at its waist, and a Miao-style long blade hung at its side.

The mask on its face was majestic and stern, covering the upper half of its face.

Sensing the Susanoo within his heart, he established a connection.

Senya also came to know his two exclusive ocular techniques, "Word Spirit" and "Illusion Weapon," as well as his life-bound spiritual weapon, the spirit blade "Qianyue."

Word Spirit: Words follow the law; the effect is determined by the consumption of ocular power. It strengthens the effect of the user's speech and possesses a leader's charisma.

Illusion Weapon: Manifests weapons of any ability and effect; the strength of the weapon is determined by the consumption of ocular power.

After thinking for a while, Senya discovered that his two ocular techniques actually worked best when used in combination. If he was not mistaken, this could also reduce the drain on his ocular power.

Likewise, the passive ability of Word Spirit could be paired with the Mental Breakdown System, making it easier to break others' defenses.

After all, before replicating the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, Senya could not use his ocular techniques recklessly. However, Obito was worth considering; after all, Hashirama cells were good things, and they could also replenish ocular power.
