Make a Move in the Clan Head's Office?

Inside the office, Tsunade, Uchiha Baru, Naka, and the others locked eyes, their gazes clashing fiercely.

It seemed as though they were about to start fighting at any moment.

Just then, a figure suddenly darted in through the doorway.

"Hmph! The clan head's office is really lively today!"

"How fresh and interesting!"

The figure at the door was Uchiha Setsuna.

Uchiha Setsuna wore a sinister expression, his every word dripping with sarcastic mockery.

In truth, Uchiha Setsuna had arrived when Tsunade, Uchiha Baru, and Naka had first begun arguing.

However, he had remained outside the door, watching and eavesdropping instead of entering the office directly.

Now, having heard from outside that Tsunade, Uchiha Baru, and Naka were deadlocked and on the verge of fighting, Uchiha Setsuna finally entered the office, intending to help Tsunade out of the situation.

Everyone turned to look at Uchiha Setsuna at the door.

Uchiha Fugaku, Baru, and Naka in particular looked at him with unfriendly expressions, hostility flashing in their eyes.

Uchiha Baru raised his brows. "Setsuna, why are you here!"

"This has nothing to do with you!"

"Leave at once!"

With a sinister look on his face, Uchiha Setsuna snorted coldly.

"You can come here, so why can't I? Besides, Lord Clan Head is my friend."

"I remember that the Uchiha Clan's previous clan head was, long ago... Madara Uchiha."

"When Madara Uchiha was clan head, was he only allowed to manage the clan's messy daily affairs?"

"How ridiculous!!!"

"Since when did the Konoha Police Force's authority surpass that of the clan head?"

Uchiha Baru and Naka both curled their lips, disdain flashing across their faces.

"Tch! How can Uchiha Gōka be mentioned in the same breath as the former clan head, Madara Uchiha?"

Uchiha Setsuna's face darkened as he stared at Baru, a hint of ferocity appearing in his eyes.

"Baru, are you saying that you look down on the current clan head—Lord Karmic Fire?"

"You are defying your superior!"

After saying that, Setsuna turned and shifted his gaze toward the First Elder, Uchiha Hōka, as well as Yashiro, Inabi, and the others.

"Elders, since Karmic Fire was elected clan head, why have you not handed over the authority?"

"According to clan regulations, the clan head has the authority to control and command all personnel and resources within the clan!"

At Uchiha Setsuna's question, First Elder Uchiha Hōka's face immediately turned somewhat awkward, and he was left speechless for a moment.

"Uh... this..."

In truth, the First Elder, Yashiro, Inabi, and the others all knew that the Konoha Police Force should voluntarily relinquish the authority in their hands.

However, the Konoha Police Force, led by Fugaku, had long since firmly seized the Uchiha Clan's real power.

Now that the Konoha Police Force refused to hand over that real power, the First Elder and the others had no say in the matter and could do nothing about it.

Then, First Elder Uchiha Hōka sternly rebuked Uchiha Baru and Naka.

"Baru, Naka, are you two really trying to rebel?!"

"What right do you have to look down on the new clan head?"

After First Elder Uchiha Hōka's severe reprimand, Baru and Naka finally became somewhat more restrained.

Then, First Elder Uchiha Hōka turned to Uchiha Fugaku, his voice much gentler.

"Fugaku, look, this..."

Uchiha Fugaku looked at the First Elder and slowly spoke.

"First Elder, it isn't that I don't want to hand over the position of captain of the Konoha Police Force."

"However, you also know that the Konoha Police Force is under Konoha's administration, and the position of police force captain was personally authorized by the Hokage of Konoha."

"I have no say in handing over the captaincy of the Konoha Police Force either!"

"This matter can only be decided by Konoha's upper ranks and the Hokage of Konoha."

"Even if Madara Uchiha were here today as the new clan head, he would have no right to make demands of the Konoha Police Force!"

"Much less the right to make the Konoha Police Force hand over its authority!"

Uchiha Fugaku directly shifted responsibility onto Konoha's upper ranks, leaving the First Elder speechless and unsure how to persuade him.

Madara Uchiha was Uchiha Setsuna's idol.

Hearing Fugaku say that even Madara Uchiha had no right to make demands of the Konoha Police Force, anger immediately appeared on Uchiha Setsuna's face.

Uchiha Setsuna's face darkened. Frowning and clenching his fists, he stared at Fugaku and snorted coldly.

"Hmph! What arrogance. Even if Madara Uchiha were clan head, he couldn't command the Konoha Police Force???"

"Fugaku, all you ever talk about is the Hokage of Konoha and Konoha's upper ranks."

"I really don't understand what relationship you have with Konoha's upper ranks."

"Do our Uchiha Clan's internal affairs really require approval from Konoha's upper ranks?"

Uchiha Fugaku remained standing there without changing expression, too lazy to pay Uchiha Setsuna any attention.

Uchiha Setsuna's face darkened, his stomach full of anger, yet there was nothing he could do to Uchiha Fugaku.

At that moment, Tsunade inwardly gritted her teeth. Damn it!

Those Police Force bastards are obviously bullying Karmic Fire because he's new, trying to put him in his place!

We have to seize the clan head's authority today!

Though Tsunade thought so, she could do nothing about Uchiha Fugaku, Baru, Naka, and the others for the time being.

The atmosphere in the room fell silent.

Killing intent permeated the silence.

Tsunade, Uchiha Setsuna, and Fugaku's Police Force members confronted one another, their gazes clashing fiercely...

Uchiha Fugaku was firmly holding onto the Konoha Police Force's authority, acting extremely domineering.

Baru and Naka stood beside Uchiha Fugaku. Curling their lips, they turned away as though they could not be bothered to deal with Tsunade and Uchiha Setsuna.

Tsunade and Uchiha Setsuna seemed to be out of options and were gradually falling into a disadvantage.

The aged First Elder Uchiha Hōka helplessly shook his head and sighed softly. "Sigh!"

Then he raised his head, his gaze falling upon Uchiha Gōka.

"Clan Head, about this matter... what do you think...?"

Uchiha Gōka had witnessed everything that had just happened.

Uchiha Gōka rose from his seat, looked at Uchiha Fugaku and the others, and slowly spoke.

"Starting this morning, I have officially succeeded as the Uchiha Clan's clan head!"

"All personnel, all resources, and everything else of the Uchiha Clan will be under my sole control!"

"All authority of the Konoha Police Force will be transferred to me, and I will also assume the position of captain."

As soon as he finished speaking, Uchiha Fugaku's gaze sharpened, hostility flashing in his eyes.

Uchiha Baru and Uchiha Naka curled their lips, their faces showing a few traces of disdain.

It seemed that Uchiha Fugaku, Baru, Naka, and the others had not taken Uchiha Gōka's words seriously at all.

First Elder Hōka, along with Yashiro, Inabi, and the others, all sensed that something was wrong, and their hearts were immediately filled with alarm.

Is the new clan head showing his hand against the Uchiha Police Force?

Will the two sides start fighting outright next?

If the new clan head went to war with the Uchiha Police Force on his first day in office, and word got out...

If Konoha's upper ranks and the other clans found out, wouldn't they mock the Uchiha Clan for fighting among themselves???

The First Elder, Yashiro, Inabi, and the others all looked deeply worried.

Uchiha Gōka stepped forward, slowly approaching Uchiha Fugaku, Baru, and Naka.

The three of them tensed their gazes, immediately becoming wary and nervous. They even assumed fighting stances. Did Uchiha Gōka really dare make a move against us in the clan head's office?
