Ignorant Fool, Who Gave You the Courage to Yell at Me?

We are members of the ninja world's foremost ocular jutsu clan. We have the pride that belongs to the Uchiha!

We will never bow our heads to anyone, nor will we ever wag our tails and beg for favor.

"Clan Head, I hope you can convene a clan meeting to discuss the Dove Faction.

I believe there is no need for the Dove Faction to continue existing. They will only make us weak, force us to lower our heads, and cause us to lose the clan's dignity and pride."

Building his reputation, gathering hearts, and dealing with the Dove Faction and Hardline Faction—these were Yan's steps toward strengthening Uchiha unity.

The Dove Faction, with the quietest voices and fewest members, had become the first target of Yan's blade.

Besides, the Dove Faction's actions were indeed contemptible.

The Hardline Faction wanted a coup, but at least they dared to make a fuss, dared to think, and dared to act. What about the Dove Faction?

Other than constantly bowing their heads and admitting defeat, what else could they do?

"Clan Head, we second this!!"

The Third Squad members were the first to second the motion.

With them taking the lead, more and more clan members chose to support it. They wanted a clan meeting convened to discuss how to deal with the Dove Faction.

Watching the once troublesome squad become completely obedient after Yan became their captain, Fugaku felt a complicated mix of emotions.

Back then, anyone who ran into these people would get a headache. Every last one of them had been a troublemaker.

Now, after becoming Yan's subordinates, they were obedient one after another.

Faced with the requests of so many clan members, even if Fugaku was unwilling, he could only grit his teeth and nod in agreement. He also sent people to invite the elders to the Clan Head's residence.

Shisui cut a somewhat lonely figure.

At that moment, he had become a thorn in the eyes and flesh of the clan members.

Even the members of his own squad did not dare approach their captain, afraid that they too would be despised and targeted by the clan.

Who could have imagined that Shisui had tried to solve the problem out of good intentions, only for things to turn out like this?

Was Yan in the wrong?

No, he was not. Yan stepping forward had instead been for the sake of the clan members.

Comparing him with Shisui made it clear who was the one truly good to his own people.

Shisui's mind was full of thoughts about how to resolve the conflict between the clan and the village, how to help the clan integrate into the village.

Yet he had never considered that the problem between the Uchiha and the village needed to be solved at its root. It could not be resolved by relying on the higher-ups' nonsense, much less that damned Will of Fire.

News of someone causing trouble at the Police Department quickly spread.

For a time, countless clan members cursed Shisui.

Everyone felt that although Shisui was an Uchiha, he had taken the wrong side. He only thought about outsiders and disregarded his own people.

Conversely, the worse Shisui was cursed, the more good reputation Yan gained.

At the Clan Head's residence, it was still the same group of people, only the atmosphere was somewhat heavy.

Because someone was about to take a blade to the clan factions.

Uchiha Yan.

In the past, this name had not been unfamiliar to the clan elders, but few had paid much attention to it.

But after the previous clan meeting, he had thoroughly entered their minds.

In just a few days, he had done several things that greatly impacted the Uchiha.

And now, with the Police Department gathering to cause trouble, Yan had seized the opportunity to begin cutting into the Dove Faction.

Yet faced with the requests of so many clan members, Fugaku, as Clan Head, had no way to refuse.

He had not even had a chance to speak with Yan in private before he was already caught in an impossible position, unable to move forward or back.

"I knew that brat wouldn't behave himself. First, he questioned us and the Clan Head. Then he demanded that the Clan Head go to the Hokage Office Building to negotiate the complaint issue. Now he's quickly started stirring up other trouble. What exactly does he want?"

The Sixth Elder roared furiously, "Does he still have any respect for us elders?"

"Sixth Elder, don't be angry."

The First Elder chuckled and said, "I think Yan is quite a good kid. He suits my tastes well. Besides, when did he ever question the Clan Head or disregard us?"

"Moreover, everything he has done has been good for the clan. Don't you want the clan to get better and better?"

"..."

To hell with you. Do I dare say a single word against any of this?

He would probably be cursed to death by the clan members.

The Sixth Elder's face turned livid with anger.

The others had long grown used to their arguments. Whenever the Hardline Faction and Dove Faction gathered together, there was always bound to be a quarrel.

Fortunately, Fugaku's arrival brought the argument to a halt.

Yan had arrived with Fugaku as well.

It seemed that the Police Department squad captains were not qualified to participate in this clan meeting.

At least, Fugaku did not want them attending, so he had brought only Yan.

The end of the factional argument did not mean the Dove Faction would let Yan off.

Sure enough, the moment Yan sat down, the Sixth Elder flew into a rage.

"Uchiha Yan, do you still have any respect for us elders and seniors? What right do you have to sit here?"

"Hehe~~~"

Several elders from the Hardline Faction chuckled, with no intention of helping. They wanted to see how Yan would handle the Sixth Elder's provocation.

Fugaku, seated in the main seat, said nothing as well.

He had just sat down and was already being attacked.

Yan turned his head to look at the man flaunting his authority. The corners of his lips lifted slightly, and a flash of disdain passed through his eyes as his three-tomoe Sharingan abruptly activated.

"Uh..."

No one had expected Yan to be so bold. The moment he acted, he acted without the slightest hesitation, and against a clan elder no less.

He was so fast that no one else had time to react.

Before they could respond, the Sixth Elder, who had been shouting incessantly, had already fallen victim.

The Sixth Elder, who had been fierce-faced and roaring loudly a moment ago, seemed to have been hit by a pause button, freezing in place.

Then he clutched his head and leapt up. As if he had encountered something terrifying, he screamed and clawed frantically at his clothes, as though something horrifying was stuck to his body.

"Ignorant fool, who gave you the courage to yell at me?"

Yan spoke coldly.

If the person sitting before him had been Uchiha Shisui, Yan would have needed to be somewhat cautious. But this was merely the Sixth Elder, old and frail, his strength far inferior to what it once was.

Other than his status as an elder, he was nothing but trash.

As long as Yan wanted to, he could kill him at any time.

Over the past half year, through vast amounts of spiritual power, Sharingan ocular power, and the fusion of chakra from the Indra brothers, Yan's strength had already reached a terrifying level.

He simply had never displayed it before.

Dealing with an old and frail Sixth Elder whose strength had greatly declined was no different from killing a chicken.

As long as Yan wanted to, he could make him drop dead in minutes.

A single genjutsu could solve the problem.

Speaking of which, he had copied quite a few insights on using genjutsu from Shisui, and now they happened to be put to use on the Sixth Elder.
