Along the way, some Uchiha greeted Uchiha Yi warmly, while others shot him looks of disgust. They were clearly on Uchiha Heitai's side. Yi paid them no mind.
Uchiha Heitai and his son had led the clan for so long that it was only natural they had plenty of supporters. Those people weren't going to bow to Yi just because he was strong. Hadn't they turned their backs on Madara Uchiha himself?
