Hearing Uya's words, Kushina felt even more puzzled, but this time she didn't ask Uya what would happen. Instead, she blinked and took Uya's hand.
Kushina, delicate hands, as white as scallions, tightly gripped Uya's hand. She simply gazed at Uya with tender affection and a gentle smile.
No words are needed at this moment.
Uya smiled slightly, tightened his grip on her small hand, then glanced out the window at Konoha under the night sky, his gaze deep.
Regardless of whether Kushina is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki or not, if one day he decides to leave Konoha, he will definitely take her with him.
He will smash any obstacle with a single punch!
the next day.
It was another sunny day, with leisurely white clouds drifting by, creating a harmonious atmosphere.
After the Second Shinobi World War, almost all villages lost some of their bloodshed, especially Konoha, which became like an incredibly harmonious village.
On this day, there were almost no Uchiha Clan ninjas to be seen in the entire Konoha Leaf Village, and even the Konoha Military Police Force was completely empty.
Konoha, however, turned a blind eye to this, simply dispatching a few teams of ninjas to temporarily replace the Konoha Military Police Force for their daily patrols.
In fact, after Second Shinobi World War, the need for patrols was not so great.
The Uchiha Clan's compound is actually located in the same area as the Konoha Military Police Force's headquarters. The Uchiha Clan's residence is located next to and connected to the Konoha Military Police Force's buildings.
Here, a large number of ninjas had gathered.
They were all Uchiha Clan ninjas; no other Konoha Ninja could come here, not even the Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi.
The vast majority of ninjas in the Uchiha Clan are Elite Chunin and Jonin, with very few Genin. Of course, not many of them possess the Sharingan either.
Almost every ninja with the Sharingan is an elite member of the Uchiha Clan, and none of them are below the level of Jonin.
Unless they are too young and are currently ranked Elite Chunin, they will quickly grow to Jonin level in the future.
The Sharingan is already quite rare within the Uchiha Clan, let alone the Mangekyō Sharingan, which seems to have disappeared since Madara Uchiha and Uchiha Izuna.
Even the soon-to-be-abdicated Uchiha Kageyama did not possess the Mangekyō Sharingan.
The courtyard was so large that even with all the Uchiha Clan ninjas there, it didn't feel crowded at all.
At the very front is today's protagonist, Uchiha Fugaku, who will soon succeed as the head of the Uchiha Clan and the captain of the Konoha Military Police Force!
Uchiha Kageyama stood next to Uchiha Fugaku, dressed in a long robe, solemn and dignified. His face was etched with wrinkles, and he exuded a sense of vicissitude.
In contrast, Uchiha Fugaku appeared full of energy, his eyes revealing absolute conviction.
He will lead the Uchiha Clan to prosperity, and he will eliminate any obstacle in his path, including Uya!
"Is everyone here now?"
Looking down at the densely packed crowd, Uchiha Kageyama spoke first, his tone light yet carrying a hint of authority and solemnity.
The Uchiha Clan ninjas below fell silent instantly after hearing Uchiha Kageyama speak.
Everyone's here.
"Okay, let's begin."
Uchiha Kageyama took a deep breath, a barely perceptible smile appearing on his lips. He glanced at Uchiha Fugaku beside him, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.
Even though the position of the Uchiha Clan leader is almost always inherited in this way, there will always be those who are dissatisfied.
From the moment Uchiha Kageyama prepared to have Uchiha Fugaku succeed as clan leader, he had been deliberately paving the way for him, transferring those who were dissatisfied to various dangerous positions and replacing those who were subservient to Uchiha Fugaku.
To this day, almost all the Uchiha Clan members present support Uchiha Fugaku, paving a perfect path for him.
Of course, nominally, the approval of the Uchiha Clan's higher-ups is still required.
These high-ranking officials were several squad leaders of the Konoha Military Police Force, as well as some veterans from the same era as Uchiha Kageyama, such as Konoha Elder Utatane Koharu and Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi.
The high-ranking members of the Uchiha Clan also stood in different positions. They stood at the very front, while the Jonin Chunin Jonin them stood in random positions, without any further arrangement according to rank.
Uchiha Kageyama solemnly began to recount his life story in a brief manner, stirring the atmosphere of the entire room and instilling in everyone the idea that the Uchiha Clan was the greatest clan.
Indeed, this is the case today. Although the Senju Clan has not been completely wiped out, it was severely weakened in Second Shinobi World War. Since the deaths of Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju, the clan has declined and gradually lost its ability to compete with the Uchiha Clan.
"I, Uchiha Kageyama, head of the Uchiha Clan, and leader of the Uchiha Clan! I recommend Uchiha Fugaku as the successor to the next clan head!"
Uchiha Kageyama finished speaking, he looked at the row of high-ranking members of the Uchiha Clan at the very front.
In reality, Uchiha Fugaku to the position of clan head was already predetermined; this was merely a formality.
The high-ranking members of the Uchiha Clan exchanged glances and then spoke one after another.
"Agree."
"Agree."
"Agree."
A string of agreement came from their mouths, and not a single person objected.
The Uchiha Clan ninjas behind them were also showing excitement. At this point, it could be announced that Uchiha Fugaku was the next clan head!
"Can Fugaku lead our Uchiha Clan to the pinnacle of the Shinobi World?"
Trust him!
"Shh, now you should call him clan leader!"
Some ninjas looked at Uchiha Fugaku, who was standing at the front with a slightly excited expression, and began to whisper among themselves.
Uchiha Kageyama glanced indifferently at the entire room, and only after the murmurs subsided and disappeared did he smile and announce, "Since no one objects, I hereby declare that the next clan head is..."
I object.
Just as Uchiha Kageyama was about to call out Uchiha Fugaku's name, a calm voice suddenly rang out throughout the entire venue, making sure everyone could hear it clearly.
This voice forced the name that Uchiha Kageyama almost shouted out back down into his stomach, making him feel as if his throat was tightly blocked, unable to utter a single word.
Uchiha Kageyama stood there awkwardly, his face turning extremely ugly, his eyes blazing with anger.
Who is it?! (To be continued.)
