Another morning came, and Uchiha Fugaku's injuries had finally healed considerably.
At least he could sit and stand normally without pain.
As for Uchiha Shizai, he was already finished.
Once enough wounded had accumulated for the next group, he would return to Konoha with them.
Uchiha Fugaku called everyone together for a meeting.
Although he had not invited Bieshu Feifan, Bieshu Feifan brought over a stool anyway and sat right beside Fugaku.
Uchiha Fugaku wanted to send Bieshu Feifan away.
"Bieshu Feifan, get some rest first. We have things to discuss."
"Hey, Fugaku, now you're treating me like an outsider.
Why should we Uchiha hide anything from anyone?
Fugaku, you're the young clan leader, the future clan leader. Think before you speak.
You need to unite us Uchiha, not sow division the moment you open your mouth."
As Uchiha Fugaku's face darkened, Bieshu Feifan looked around at all the Uchiha.
"I've said it before. The reason we Uchiha can't become Hokage is that we're always sowing division.
If you treat even me this way, what do you think outsiders will think?
How could they feel comfortable letting an Uchiha become Hokage?"
At those words, every Uchiha remained silent, copying Fugaku's dark expression.
Seeing that no one was responding, Bieshu Feifan turned back to Uchiha Fugaku.
"Fugaku, you're far too immature.
As the young clan leader, the first thing you do is ask me to leave. What are you afraid of?
I've already handed authority over to you!
How can I feel comfortable entrusting our Uchiha's future to you when you act like this?
Fugaku, you're far too immature!"
With that, Bieshu Feifan even shook his head.
Uchiha Fugaku clenched his fists until his knuckles cracked.
Was this why Hiruzen Sarutobi had handed this thing over to him?
Now he understood.
