Announcement of the New Clan Head

On the arena stage, Uchiha Gōka's pair of scarlet Mangekyō Sharingan drew the eyes of every spectator below.

Cries of astonishment rose from outside the arena...

On the arena stage, Uchiha Fugaku knelt before Uchiha Gōka, sweat streaming down his face as he panted heavily, seemingly suffering from severe exhaustion.

Uchiha Gōka looked down at Uchiha Fugaku before him.

Uchiha Fugaku lay limp on the ground, struggling even to speak. "Was that genjutsu just now?"

"In the illusionary world, it felt as though three days had passed."

"And yet... in the real world, it was only an instant."

"How terrifying!"

Uchiha Gōka looked at Uchiha Fugaku. "That's right."

"This is the Mangekyō Sharingan's ocular technique—Tsukuyomi!"

At that moment, Uchiha Fugaku deeply realized that Uchiha Gōka's strength was far beyond anything he could hope to reach.

"Is this... the enormous gap between the Three-Tomoe Sharingan and the Mangekyō?"

Uchiha Fugaku knelt limply before Uchiha Gōka, unconsciously clenching his fists.

Outside the arena, a wave of commotion broke out as the crowd heard their conversation.

Uchiha Setsuna propped his chin on his hand, his face gloomy. "Hmm..."

"The Mangekyō Sharingan's genjutsu—Tsukuyomi?"

"What a terrifying ocular technique!"

"Uchiha Gōka is even more frightening than I imagined."

"Hehehe! I worked my ass off just now to help you stall the clan head election. I suffered so much humiliation for it, but now it seems it was all worth it!"

Seeing Uchiha Gōka's powerful ocular technique, a flash of delight passed through the eyes of the elder, Uchiha Hōka. "Setsuna is absolutely right!"

"Karmic Fire is the Uchiha Clan's true genius!"

At a conspicuous spot beside the training ground.

Danzo Shimura stared sinisterly at Uchiha Gōka's eyes, his expression darkening with ruthlessness as he thought to himself, An ocular technique—Tsukuyomi!?

If only I possessed those eyes!

Koharu Utatane said, "Those eyes of his are terrifying!"

Homura Mitokado said, "The Uchiha Clan has such a terrifying genius, yet our intelligence department never noticed anything."

"That brat called Uchiha Gōka hid himself far too well!"

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, said, "Oh, this Uchiha Gōka is highly gifted."

"I often visit Yehuo Snack Shop, yet I never realized that Karmic Fire, the snack shop owner, was actually a genius."

"Sigh! My eyes have failed me. I completely misjudged him."

In the area where the Uchiha Clan had gathered outside the training ground.

Mikoto Uchiha was intensely curious about Uchiha Gōka's eyes. "Huh?"

"The Mangekyō Sharingan's ocular technique—Tsukuyomi."

"Fugaku is the strongest man in our clan, yet he fell to his knees before Karmic Fire in an instant."

"Karmic Fire really is incredibly strong."

Uchiha Yashiro said, "In their second match, Uchiha Gōka still defeated Uchiha Fugaku in seconds."

Uchiha Inabi, Tekka, Yakumi, and the other clansmen all clicked their tongues in amazement. Uchiha Gōka's strength had already far surpassed that of the other Uchiha clansmen.

In the other areas outside the training ground.

Hatake Sakumo watched Uchiha Gōka on the arena stage intently. "The Konoha Police Force captain—Uchiha Fugaku—attacked with all his strength, yet he still couldn't probe the depths of Uchiha Gōka."

"Uchiha Gōka is frighteningly powerful."

Yūhi Shinku had profound attainments in genjutsu. "The genjutsu Uchiha Gōka used just now—Tsukuyomi—even I might find it difficult to withstand."

Might Duy said, "Not only does Karmic Fire make such delicious Pissing Beef Balls, he's also incredibly powerful."

"He truly is a rare talent in Konoha Village."

"When I get the chance, I'll have a youthful duel with him!"

Orochimaru stared at Uchiha Gōka's Sharingan, his eyes filled with fascination. "So this is the Uchiha Clan's ocular technique, Tsukuyomi?"

"How enviable."

Hyūga Hizashi said, "The Uchiha's ocular techniques truly must not be underestimated!"

Hyūga Hiashi said, "The Uchiha Clan should count itself fortunate today. From this day onward, it has gained a true genius."

"It seems the position of clan head has already been decided in today's election."

Kushina said, "Uchiha Gōka is such a terrifying person."

"If our Uzumaki Clan had possessed such a powerful genius, our country would not have been destroyed."

On the arena stage, Uchiha Fugaku remained kneeling before Uchiha Gōka.

After suffering Tsukuyomi's attack, Uchiha Fugaku was utterly exhausted in both body and mind. He did not have the slightest strength to stand.

Outside the arena, when the spectators saw that Fugaku could not rise for a long time, they knew the match had been decided.

The aged and elderly elder—Uchiha Hōka—stepped onto the arena stage once more.

"Fugaku, you now..."

"Elder, I... lost!"

Though he was unwilling to accept it.

Uchiha Fugaku still gritted his teeth and forced out those words.

The elder, Uchiha Hōka, let out a soft sigh.

Originally, in the eyes of the many Uchiha clansmen, and even the many Konoha spectators, there had been no suspense in this clan head election.

Uchiha Fugaku had the greatest popularity and was certain to become the new clan head.

But now, a genius had suddenly emerged from the Uchiha Clan.

This not only exceeded Elder Uchiha Hōka's expectations, but everyone else's as well.

Elder Uchiha Hōka stood on the arena stage and swept his gaze around.

"Uchiha Gōka is the victor of this duel!"

"Are there any other clansmen who wish to step onto the stage and challenge Uchiha Gōka?"

"Are there any other clansmen who wish to step onto the stage and challenge Uchiha Gōka?"

"Are there any other clansmen who wish to step onto the stage and challenge Uchiha Gōka?"

The elder asked the same question three times in a row in his aged yet booming voice.

Below the stage, every Uchiha clansman turned their gaze toward Uchiha Gōka.

Not a single Uchiha clansman dared step onto the stage to challenge this genius who had appeared out of nowhere.

The entire clan head election venue instantly fell silent...

Uchiha Setsuna swept his gaze around, his gloomy face twisting as a wicked smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Uchiha Gōka has truly given me a pleasant surprise."

"He defeated Fugaku, the Konoha Police Force captain, so easily."

"Karmic Fire, you truly are even more terrifying than I imagined!"

In truth, before their duel, Uchiha Setsuna had been somewhat uneasy and worried over whether Uchiha Gōka could defeat Uchiha Fugaku.

He had feared that Uchiha Gōka would be no match for Uchiha Fugaku either.

But in order to prevent Uchiha Fugaku from becoming clan head, Uchiha Setsuna had no other options left.

He could only place his hopes on Uchiha Gōka.

In Uchiha Setsuna's eyes, Uchiha Gōka was the final trump card that could stop Uchiha Fugaku from becoming clan head.

Now, it seemed that Uchiha Gōka had indeed not disappointed Uchiha Setsuna.

Uchiha Setsuna's attempt to prevent Uchiha Fugaku from being elected clan head had succeeded!

At that moment, a trace of secret delight appeared on Uchiha Setsuna's gloomy face.

Elder Uchiha Hōka stood on the arena stage, sweeping his gaze over the many Uchiha clansmen below.

After waiting for a while and seeing that no clansman dared step onto the arena stage.

Elder Uchiha Hōka loudly announced, "This Uchiha Clan head election has concluded."

"The new clan head—Uchiha Gōka!"
