As the loser, Uchiha Fugaku felt a complex mix of emotions at this moment.

There was sadness, there was anger, and more than anything, a sense of powerlessness welled up from within.

Where would the future of the Uchiha clan lead?

To prosperity, or to destruction?

Just as Uchiha Fugaku was wallowing in self-pity, Masaki Uchiha looked at him. "Fugaku-kun, you may use your Mangekyo Sharingan to its full extent to see what the future truly holds, and what the Uchiha under my leadership will become."

Once these words were spoken, the clansmen were still confused, but Uchiha Fugaku understood the implication. Yet, he was still struck by a wave of astonishment. How does he know the ability of my Mangekyo Sharingan?

After steadying his emotions, and also to learn the fate of the Uchiha clan, he steeled himself.

"Hmph."

As a response to Masaki Uchiha, he let out a cold snort.

Uchiha Fugaku channeled his power into his right eye, activating Amenotachitatsu. The excruciating pain in his eye intensified as blood began to trickle from the corner of his socket.

"Agh!" The violent agony in his eye made him groan, but for the sake of the Uchiha clan, he endured the pain and continued to drain his ocular power.

As his ocular power depleted rapidly, visions of the Uchiha clan over the next three months gradually emerged.

"How could it be like this?" Uchiha Fugaku was deeply shocked by the future he witnessed, and his inner doubts only grew.

But at this moment, the pain in his eyes had surpassed his limit. Forced by necessity, he deactivated his Mangekyo Sharingan and stood to the side, gasping for air.

"How... how did you do that?" Uchiha Fugaku panted, speaking in broken sentences.

Seeing the potential events of the future in his mind made him unable to stop himself from asking.

"Heh, just watch closely as I lead the Uchiha clan to rise once again." Masaki Uchiha did not give a clear answer to Uchiha Fugaku's question.

"As for you, for the sake of the Uchiha clan, I hope we can cooperate sincerely and create a better future together."

"Are you willing to help me revitalize the Uchiha?" With that, he extended his hand toward Uchiha Fugaku.

Looking at the outstretched hand and recalling the visions he had just seen, his heart was filled with conflict.

"Hoo." Exhaling a long breath, Uchiha Fugaku grasped the hand.

"I am willing."

You will be a permanent guest on Orochimaru's experimental table from now on, Masaki Uchiha added to himself.

Seeing the two men shake hands, the Uchiha clansmen erupted into loud cheers.

"Celebrate the Uchiha!" Elder Uchiha Setsuna shouted at this moment.

"Celebrate the Uchiha!"

"Celebrate the Uchiha!"

Many other clansmen echoed the sentiment.

Masaki Uchiha looked at the clansmen and said, "Next, I will reform the Police Force. I expect to increase our numbers from the current 150 to 600."

"The original departments of the Police Force will be completely dismantled and rebuilt."

"I am establishing the Legal Department, Judicial Bureau, Procuratorate, Metropolitan Police Department, Tax Department, Logistics Bureau, Press Department, Special Operations Brigade, and Science and Technology Bureau."

"Each bureau will have a director and a deputy director, and the Special Operations Brigade will be directly under the command of the Chief of the Police Force."

"Additionally, two deputy chiefs will be appointed to oversee the other bureau-level units."

"I will serve as the Chief of the Police Force, and Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Tetsuya will serve as deputy chiefs. Do you have any objections?"

Uchiha Tetsuya was a renowned elite jonin of the clan, belonging to the hawk faction—the radicals. He had achieved great military merit during the Third Great Ninja War and had been thoroughly convinced by Masaki Uchiha's strength on the battlefield.

The clansmen had no objections to Uchiha Tetsuya serving as deputy chief... the doves might have had some, but cowed by Masaki Uchiha's prestige, they dared not speak.

"Tetsuya-kun, the burden on your shoulders will be even heavier from now on. If there is anything you don't understand regarding the work, you can ask Fugaku-kun. Do you understand?"

"Yes, I understand." A man with a dignified face and a serious expression in the crowd responded loudly.

"There is only one direction for the next few months: to win over the other small and medium-sized ninja clans within Konoha."

As soon as these words were spoken, someone immediately asked, "Clan Leader, winning over those ninja clans doesn't seem to be of much use to us Uchiha."

Hearing this, Masaki Uchiha's eyelids twitched as he rebuked, "Foolish! Do you not understand the principle that those who follow the path of righteousness will have much support, while those who do not will have little?"

"Although these small and medium-sized ninja clans are not strong individually, together they represent an indispensable force within Konoha."

"The Third Great Ninja War ended only a few months ago, and these clans have already suffered heavy losses. If we don't win them over now, are we going to wait for the Fourth Hokage to do it?"

"Winning them over is also preparation for competing for the position of Hokage in the future. Didn't I fail to become the Fourth Hokage last time because I didn't have enough votes?!"

"From now on, wipe those arrogant expressions off your faces. Don't act like you're the center of the universe when you go out to meet people."

"Our Uchiha's bad reputation is all because of you bastards!"

"If you want to turn this reputation around now, you have to pay the price and win over a group of people."

As Masaki Uchiha spoke, he grew more and more incensed, roaring at the crowd, "Did you all hear me clearly!"

"Understood!"

"Understood!"

"That's the spirit!"

"Therefore, I plan to invite the other small and medium-sized ninja clans to visit the Uchiha compound the day after tomorrow. Ema Uchiha, I'll leave this task to you." Masaki Uchiha looked toward a woman in the crowd, roughly twenty-eight years of age, tall and curvaceous, with fair skin and a hint of heroic spirit in her features.

Ema Uchiha replied, "Understood. I will begin sending out the invitations tomorrow." Her voice was crisp and clear, like pearls falling onto a jade plate. As she watched Masaki Uchiha holding court, her eyes were filled with deep affection.

As his childhood sweetheart, she knew exactly how he intended to change the Uchiha clan. All she could do was provide help wherever she could, such as offering comfort in the dead of night...

"Alright, one last thing. Activate your Sharingan; I am going to help you increase your ocular power."

Upon hearing this, the minds of everyone present went blank for a moment, and the entire shrine fell silent.

Then, the clamor erupted like water hitting a pot of hot oil.

"Is it true? Can our ocular power really be increased?"

"It must be true. The Clan Head would never lie to us."

"Doesn't that mean we all have a chance to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan in the future?"

"Heh, come to think of it, the Clan Head has never broken a promise."

"The Clan Head is truly a gift from the heavens."

"The revival of the Uchiha is within reach."

Masaki Uchiha waved his hand, looking impatient. "Alright, alright, quiet down, everyone. Hurry up and activate your Sharingan so I can finish this and go home to sleep."
