Chiho's Youthful Impetuosity

"If this is everyone's wish, I am willing to relinquish the position of clan leader." Fugaku stood up from the head of the table with a serious expression. He did not seem to have any resentment or anger at being removed from the position of clan leader, but rather gave people a feeling of worry.

"Chiho, Issei, Shisui, I hope you can think more about the clan and the ordinary people of the clan, and not do anything rash."

Fugaku said earnestly, "Now that the three members of the Uchiha Clan with the Mangekyō Sharingan are on the sidelines, I am bound to abdicate."

He was most concerned about the ordinary people who made up the majority of the Uchiha Clan. Using violence to solve problems might indeed achieve his goal quickly, but it would definitely put the Uchiha Clan in danger, and if he was not careful, he would die and his clan would be wiped out.

The Uchiha is now stronger than ever, and Fugaku, who possesses the Mangekyō Sharingan, is the most qualified to speak on this matter.

If Chiho, Issei, Shisui all mastered the ultimate technique of the Mangekyō Sharingan, the ' Susanoo ' known as the power of a god, the three of them alone could turn Konoha upside down.

However, if violence is used directly, the Hokage faction is not without First Shinobi World War chance.

If Konoha were to face a life-or-death crisis, Jiraiya Tsunade would definitely return to the village.

Although the Third Hokage was old and frail, he was not someone who could be easily defeated.

Among the higher-ups, Danzo himself was a powerful figure of the older generation, second only to the Third Hokage in strength, and should not be underestimated.

There's also Nawaki, the grandson of the First Hokage, who awakened Wood Release. No one knows the extent to which he has mastered Wood Release.

At that point, Fugaku will certainly not be able to stand idly by and will inevitably have to join the battle.

Four pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan are indeed very powerful, but they are not invincible.

Even if they were able to defeat the Hokage's faction, the final result would definitely be that they would inflict heavy losses on both sides.

If Konoha is destroyed, it won't benefit the Uchiha either.

"Whether we take drastic measures depends on the reaction of the higher-ups. If they are not sincere and continue to be perfunctory, then we have no need to tolerate it any longer."

Chiho said firmly.

For her, she naturally wished she could immediately break ties with the higher-ups, cause a conflict between them, and then lead the Uchiha Clan to leave Konoha and join the Land of Land of Whirlpools.

Of course, it seems simple, but it is actually quite difficult to do.

Chiho's desire to lead the Uchiha Clan away from Konoha was indeed driven by personal motives. She wanted to be with Shiraha, and as a wife who could help Shiraha in every way. Kushina could do, she could do too.

Last time, when Shiraha brought his disciples to Konoha to participate in the Chunin Selection Exam, Chiho also saw his and Kushina's child, who was very cute.

If she doesn't hurry up, is she supposed to wait until Taichi and Hikari grow up?

However, Chiho felt that it would be more beneficial for the Uchiha clan to leave Konoha.

This Konoha is the Konoha of the Senju lineage.

Because Madara betrayed Konoha, the Uchiha Clan has always been viewed with suspicion. Their relationship with other Ninja Clan is not bad, but it is by no means close. Rather than this, it would be better to find a new environment where the Uchiha can grow and thrive.

This is also for the sake of the Uchiha Clan.

Whether one seeks reconciliation with the higher-ups or launches a coup by force, unforeseen events are likely to occur.

If we can resolve the issue peacefully without resorting to armed conflict or causing any deaths, wouldn't that be a win-win situation?

Since Konoha is ostracizing the Uchiha, can't we just leave?

This is Chiho's idea.

Based on her understanding of Shiraha, she knew that Shiraha would be more than willing to accept the Uchiha Clan into the Land of Whirlpools.

Chiho simply didn't want the Uchiha to leave Konoha in a 'driven' or forced manner, but rather like Shiraha and Kushina, to leave Konoha with dignity.

The Uchiha's joining the Land of Whirlpools of Land of Whirlpools should have been based on a cooperative and mutually beneficial attitude, rather than appearing as a desperate act of seeking protection.

In Chiho's view, given the Uchiha Clan's current strength, even if only a portion of the clan members were willing to leave, other countries would be more than willing to accept them.

A single Uchiha might be forced to undergo surgery if they rashly join another country, but this is not just one or two Uchiha, but an entire Ninja Clan that can take root and multiply into countless Uchiha Ninja Clan!

Apart from Kirigakure, Sunagakure, Kumogakure, and Iwagakure all celebrate the addition of the Uchiha Clan.

Although Chiho likes Shiraha, she doesn't really treat the Uchiha Clan as a 'dowry' or act as if she's eager to give them to Shiraha.

After all, this was the family her grandfather had dedicated his life to, making plans even before his death. As the clan leader, she had to be responsible for the clan members.

"Exactly! Why should we compromise with the higher-ups!"

"With our strength, we could absolutely overthrow the rule of Third Hokage by launching a coup!"

"The Hokage position should have been filled by someone with the ability long ago."

"We can't let Danzo. We need to teach him the lesson he'll learn from those who target our Uchiha Clan!"

As soon as Chiho finished speaking, her clansmen excitedly echoed her words.

With a new, more powerful clan leader, these Radical Faction members had the opportunity to fully utilize their abilities.

No longer do they have to compromise with the higher-ups in a cowardly manner. As the strongest clan in Konoha, the Uchiha naturally deserve the highest treatment, which is what they are entitled to.

Seeing this, Fugaku's heart sank. These Radical Faction clansmen, whom he had previously kept in check, would now be unrestrained under Chiho's leadership, and he didn't know what they might do.

The older generation of the Uchiha Clan ninjas couldn't help but sigh inwardly. In fact, they were willing to make concessions and compromises, but the younger generation of clansmen were indeed more spirited than them, and they didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

"Everyone, please be quiet for a moment. If possible, avoid using force." Chiho gestured for everyone to quiet down, and then continued, "Next, I will negotiate with the higher-ups as the Uchiha Clan Head. I guarantee that I will give everyone a satisfactory answer."

The Uchiha Clan members, who had been so agitated just moments before, calmed down a bit. They wanted to see if Chiho could really do what he said.

Just then, a commotion suddenly broke out outside the Shrine.

"Clan Head, something terrible has happened!" A member of the Uchiha Clan rushed in, pushing open the gate of the Shrine, looking panicked.

What happened?

Fugaku asked in a deep voice.

Clan members who haven't awakened the Sharingan aren't qualified to attend the clan meeting. The fact that they're rushing in in such a panic means something big must have happened. Even though he hasn't been the clan leader since earlier, he still cares about the Uchiha Clan.

"Danzo has arrived outside the Naka River with Root ninjas, saying they want us to hand over Issei, this missing-nin!" the Uchiha Clan hurriedly said, but when his gaze fell on Issei beside him, he was immediately stunned.

"What?!"

"This is outrageous! Danzo gone too far!"

"They don't take our Uchiha Clan seriously at all!"

"This is a blatant provocation against us!"

Upon hearing that Danzo had actually brought ninjas to the Naka River, the Uchiha present all spoke up, and many of them felt extremely angry.

Danzo is practically riding roughshod over the Uchiha Clan!

The Uchiha Clan's territory is located in the central area of Konoha. As the elders who worked with the Senju to establish Konoha, it is normal for the Uchiha to have such treatment, which is why they want to seek power commensurate with their status.

The Naka River is the location of the Uchiha Clan's Shrine, the most sacred place for the Uchiha Clan. Although it is located on the edge of Konoha and is not on the same side as the clan's territory, Danzo's behavior is even more outrageous than directly trespassing on the Uchiha Clan's territory.

"You were discovered by the Root people when you came back?" Chiho looked at Issei, raising an eyebrow slightly.

"Perhaps I was careless," Uchiha Issei said calmly. This was naturally intentional on Shiraha; to escalate the conflict, he had to do it all at once.

"Come with me outside and take a look." Chiho didn't say much, but walked towards the outside of the Shrine.

Everyone followed Chiho away from the Shrine, eager to see how she would deal with Danzo's attack after becoming the clan leader.

"Clan Head." The Uchiha Clan who came to report was taken aback when he saw everyone leaving with Chiho.

"I am no longer the clan leader. Chiho is the clan leader now." Fugaku said in a deep voice, "Let's go out."

The Uchiha members walked down the long steps of the Shrine and came to the open space below.

Across the open space was a rushing river, connected to the road leading to the village by a suspension bridge.

At this moment, on the other side of the suspension bridge, Danzo stood there with more than a dozen Root Ninja, ready for battle.

When Danzo saw that the leader was Chiho, Danzo clearly taken aback, but when he saw Issei next to Chiho, a cold smile appeared on his face.

Chiho led everyone across the suspension bridge to Danzo and the members of Root.

Only those who have faced them directly are truly qualified to comment on the sheer power of dozens of Uchiha.

The Root ninjas were on high alert, Danzo behind them and staring intently at the Uchiha group, shouting, "Halt! What do you want?!"

"What do we want?" Chiho smiled mysteriously and said, "Even the Lord Hokage has no right to bring people to our Uchiha Clan's Naka Shrine. Danzo, did you trespass here on your own initiative, or was it the Lord Third Hokage's? In any case, you have to give us an explanation!"

"You!"

The Root Ninja were speechless, unsure how to answer the question.

"Step back." Danzo narrowed his eyes, a dangerous glint in them. He gestured for the Root Ninja in front of him to step back, then said indifferently, "You are just Konoha Jōnin. At your level, you have no right to question me."

"Then, as the new head of the Uchiha Clan, I should be qualified to speak with Danzo, right?" Chiho's smile remained unchanged.

"Clan leader?!" Danzo contracted.

"That's right, Chiho is the new head of our Uchiha Clan!"

Immediately, a Jonin from the Uchiha Jōnin up, saying that with four pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan, their fear of Danzo had lessened considerably.

"Danzo, after our internal vote, Chiho will become the new head of the Uchiha." At this moment, Fugaku, who had arrived from the back of the crowd, explained.

Danzo's heart sank; such a huge change had occurred within the Uchiha.

It seems that Shisui was indeed untrustworthy. The Uchiha clan's replacement of their leader was definitely premeditated and not a spur-of-the-moment decision. Yet, he knew nothing about it, which shows that Shisui was deliberately concealing the truth.

Chiho, as a rising star of the Uchiha Clan, is also very outstanding. However, Danzo most about her in the past was that she was Hayato's granddaughter.

'They're really something else!' Danzo thought to himself, noticing that the majority of the people surrounding Chiho were Uchiha, and that Shisui and ' Uchiha Issei ' were standing on either side of Chiho. He immediately sensed something was wrong.

Clearly, Chiho, whom he had previously disregarded, was a much more difficult opponent than Fugaku.

The Uchiha, united internally, was the most terrifying thing for Danzo.

"Regardless of who the clan leader is, it is a fact that your Uchiha Clan has been protecting S-Rank Missing-nin. I am trespassing on the Uchiha today for the safety of the village!" Danzo sternly, preparing to suppress Chiho with his aura and put a big accusation on the Uchiha.

Uchiha Soujin's face immediately darkened as he recalled how Danzo had treated him in the same way when he spoke up for Captain White Fang.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, the same thing happened to the Uchiha again.

A strong sense of resentment and humiliation filled his heart, to the point that he unconsciously activated his Three-Tomoe Sharingan.

"It's good that Danzo admits to trespassing into our Uchiha Clan." Chiho's expression turned solemn, her eyes suddenly turning blood red as her Three-Tomoe Sharingan activated. She then said calmly, "According to the rules, you brought people into the Uchiha Clan without authorization and attempted to use force to coerce us. It would be perfectly reasonable for us to take you all down here!"

"What did you say?!" Danzo could hardly believe his ears. How could Chiho say such a thing? Even if she was young and impetuous, she shouldn't have gone this crazy, right?

"How dare you!"

"You Uchiha dared to Danzo; this is tantamount to betraying the village!"

All the Root ninjas placed their hands on the Ninja Blade behind their backs, but none of them dared to draw their swords.

Because just as they finished speaking, dozens of Uchiha all turned red-eyed, their scarlet eyes staring at them, sending chills down their spines.

Some Uchiha even had a bold idea in their minds: what if they took advantage of Danzo's trespassing on the clan's territory to quickly defeat him and kill Danzo outright?

Thinking of this, malevolent gazes focused on Danzo and the Root Ninja.

Danzo tensed up, instinctively wanting him to back down, but his authority was not to be challenged by the Uchiha, especially since he didn't believe the Uchiha would dare to attack him.

"What are you doing? Do you intend to attack Danzo? Get out of the way!" Chiho noticed that many of her clansmen were making unusual movements and immediately turned around to rebuke them. However, she had activated her Sharingan first, so her words had no persuasive power.

"Hand over Uchiha Issei, that missing-nin, and I can overlook the Uchiha Clan's transgressions."

Danzo's face gradually darkened.

"Issei missing-nin? Our Uchiha Clan hasn't confirmed this yet, and the Lord Third Hokage hasn't issued an arrest warrant. Danzo wants us to hand over Issei with just a few words? Absolutely not!" Chiho shook her head, her attitude resolute.

Uchiha Issei, not one to shy away from stirring things up, continued, "I was only away from the village for half a year because I was injured and unconscious. Danzo is being far too deliberate in targeting the Uchiha Clan!"

"Only half a year?" Danzo deep voice, "Then why did you kill the Root ninja? Your actions are tantamount to Betrayal of the Village!"

"If they dare to attack me, they should be prepared to die," Uchiha Issei said casually.

"You!" Danzo fury, then looked at Fugaku: "It seems the Uchiha Clan is determined to protect missing-nin?"

When Fugaku saw Danzo looking at him, his expression shifted, and his lips trembled slightly. He suddenly remembered that he was no longer the clan leader, so he chose to remain silent.

"Danzo, please return. We, the Uchiha clan, will investigate Issei's matter internally. As for your expertise in Uchiha Compound, we will appeal to the Lord Third Hokage!"

Chiho waved her hand dismissively, her dark and beautiful eyes suddenly turning crimson. Three Tomoe were evenly distributed in her iris, and then the three Tomoe converged towards her pupil, forming a pattern resembling Sakura Pattern.

"The Mangekyō Sharingan?!" Danzo changed drastically, his face filled with disbelief. He naturally understood better than anyone else what it meant for the Uchiha Clan to have another Mangekyō Sharingan user.

While shocked, Danzo became even more eager to take down the Uchiha. With the Mangekyō Sharingan, he would be one step closer to becoming the Fifth Hokage and unifying the Shinobi World.
