This Day, I Don the Yellow Robe

When Uchiha Yang woke up at noon, he saw his little maid, Xia Lian, beaming at him with a face full of joy.

"What's this about? Is there some grand occasion today?"

Uchiha Yang had yet to realize the gravity of the situation and lazily stretched his back.

"Congratulations, Master, for becoming the first person in the clan's history to become the Uchiha Clan Head as an ordinary person."

Xia Lian led the other maids, including Uzumaki Mito, in kneeling before Uchiha Yang, offering their jubilant congratulations.

"Huh?" A question mark instantly appeared over Uchiha Yang's head.

I only agreed yesterday, and they're already dumping it on me today?

For some reason, he felt like he had just been handed a hot potato.

[Brain: Congratulations, Master, on taking the helm of the Uchiha. In the future, you shall unify the world and establish an order of your own.]

[Sharingan: Congratulations, Master, on taking the helm of the Uchiha. You are destined to unify the world and establish an order of your own.]

[Hand: Can I retract that? Let me say it!]

[Leg: +1]

[Mouth: If you can talk, say more! Congratulations, Master, on taking a massive step toward your goal.]

[Shadow: From today on, can I handle the clan head's affairs? I'm so excited.]

[Keep it low-key, everyone. Look at me—I can become the clan head without even trying. If I actually put in the effort, what would be left for you all? So, you must work even harder to keep up with my pace.]

Under their flattery, Uchiha Yang's lips curled upward, and he put on a show of arrogance right then and there.

Just as he finished washing up under the maids' care, he saw Uchiha Izuna push the door open and walk in, his face full of smiles.

"Clan Head, why are you still here? Everyone is waiting at the Ancestral Shrine for the succession ceremony!"

Uchiha Izuna was practically grinning from ear to ear, grabbing his arm and pulling him toward the door.

"Why do I feel like I've been played by you and your big brother? I only agreed yesterday; was it really necessary to pass the position to me today?"

As he spoke, Uchiha Yang seemed to realize something and stared at him with wide eyes.

"You and your brother aren't afraid that I'll go back on my word later, are you?"

"Am I that kind of person?"

Along the way, Uchiha Yang kept grumbling at Izuna.

"Hehe, hurry inside, Cousin."

Uchiha Izuna didn't mind at all, his mouth nearly splitting from his grin. Once his cousin went inside, it meant the succession ceremony was set in stone.

Pushed into the Ancestral Shrine, Uchiha Yang found himself under the gaze of every clan member. Directly ahead, Uchiha Madara walked toward him, holding the Uchiwa Fan.

"Since I, Uchiha Madara, succeeded as clan head, I have achieved nothing of note. You, Uchiha Yang, have repeatedly proposed plans that have brought significant development to our clan."

"I have been reflecting during this time on what use I have in this position. The result of my reflection tells me that I am of no use at all, and it even hinders the growth of my own strength."

"On the contrary, Uchiha Yang, my cousin, your intelligence far exceeds that of every other clansman, and there is no one in the outside world who surpasses you."

"With you presiding over the clan, I am willing to be the blade in your hand. You tell me who to cut, and I will cut them. You are the clan head; I am at ease, and Izuna is at ease. I believe that in the future, the elders and everyone else will be at ease as well."

"Although you lack personal power, you have never lacked powerful forces to protect you. You have the Nine-Tails by your side at all times, and you have me and Izuna supporting you from behind."

"Yang, I believe my judgment is not wrong. My decision will surely be the most correct decision in history."

As he spoke, Uchiha Madara reached Uchiha Yang, looked him straight in the eye, and held out the Uchiwa Fan, which symbolized the authority of the clan head.

"Take my place. Become our clan head and lead all our people toward the world of order you spoke of."

"I look forward to the arrival of that world of order; it will surely be a world that the village Senju Hashirama speaks of cannot compare to."

Uchiha Yang stared at the Uchiwa Fan for a long time, speechless. He truly hadn't expected Uchiha Madara to be capable of such sentimental words.

The high-ranking members of the Uchiha Clan present were deeply moved by these words.

The ordinary clansmen watching from outside had red-rimmed eyes, clearly struck to the core by this heartfelt confession.

[Brain: Is Master crying? Your eyes are red.]

[Sharingan: I can confirm it was just dust. Believe me, I beg you.]

[You're full of it. I could be moved? That's complete nonsense. The Sharingan is right; it was just dust.]

Uchiha Yang took a deep breath and accepted the Uchiwa Fan from Uchiha Madara's hands.

Seeing him take the fan, Uchiha Madara immediately knelt on one knee and shouted loudly, "I, Uchiha Madara, pay respects to the Clan Head."

"Uchiha Izuna, pays respects to the Clan Head."

Uchiha Izuna followed suit, kneeling on one knee and shouting aloud.

Seeing the succession ceremony was now a foregone conclusion, the Great Elder, Uchiha Sei, did not hesitate any longer. He knelt on one knee, acknowledging Uchiha Yang as his clan head.

The three elders—Uchiha Rei, Uchiha Fu, and Uchiha Shi—knelt one after another, acknowledging Uchiha Yang's position as clan head.

"We pay respects to the Clan Head."

"We pay respects to the Clan Head."

The others knelt down one after another, loudly welcoming the most unique clan leader they had ever had in their history.

"Long live the Clan Leader!"

From outside the Ancestral Shrine, the cheers of the ordinary clansmen could also be heard.

They believed that anyone who could be acknowledged by all the powerhouses in the clan would surely lead them into a brand-new era.

Uchiha Yang felt his blood surging with excitement, his eyes gleaming with an unprecedented light. Without a word, he raised the Uchiwa Fan in front of everyone.

At this moment, he felt as if he had been crowned in yellow robes, and he couldn't help but think, My ministers have truly burdened me.

"I have only one thing to say: those who trust me will never be disappointed."

In this moment, he became the leader of the Uchiha Clan; the Uchiha Clan of this era was not something that could be compared to the Uchiha Clan of the Konoha era.

[Brain: Master, you are so majestic and imposing.]

[Sharingan: I feel like something is coming out. Ah, it's the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan! Holy crap, I've been training for so long and nothing happened, but the moment Master takes over as clan leader, I get so excited that I just manifest it?]

[Hand: Congratulations, Master. Congratulations, Sharingan. A double celebration.]

[Shadow: Congratulations! With this, Master can truly be called the number one person of the Warring States period. I can also start handling clan affairs from today on, hehe.]

The other Five Great Attributes were all congratulating their master on happily attaining the position of clan leader.

"Everyone, rise."

Uchiha Yang had no time to pay attention to them for the moment; he looked down at Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Izuna, who were kneeling before him.

Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Izuna exchanged a smile and stood up with Uchiha Yang's assistance.

"The Uchiwa Fan, I return it to you. I have no use for it, and I believe you are more skilled at wielding it than I am."

Uchiha Yang handed the Uchiwa Fan in his hand to Uchiha Madara, then looked at the crowd. "Everyone, please rise."

"As you command, Clan Leader."

Uchiha Sei and the others then stood up respectfully.
