The clan meeting ended without resolution, leaving behind only chaos.
Following the departure of Uchiha Jin and the Radical Faction, Uchiha Fugaku felt too embarrassed to stay, so he placated the crowd and announced the dismissal before leaving.
Uchiha Shisui watched Fugaku's retreating figure, his eyes filled with disappointment.
Even with Hokage-sama's help, can he truly suppress Uchiha Jin?
But recalling Uchiha Jin's words before he left, he took a deep breath and spoke seriously: "Clan Head-sama, I need to go see Hokage-sama!"
"Regarding the Mangekyo Sharingan in Danzo Shimura's hands, I need to ask exactly what is going on."
After speaking.
He didn't even wait for Uchiha Fugaku to reply, immediately leaving using the Body Flicker Technique.
Seeing this, Uchiha Fugaku's expression darkened.
He was already furious and upset from being challenged by Uchiha Jin, and now Uchiha Shisui was showing him little respect, leaving him with an unspoken rage bottled up inside.
But he forced himself to endure it, returning home only after letting out a cold snort.
Not long after.
an Uchiha walked in, respectfully kneeling on one knee and saying, "Clan Head, this is bad!"
"All members of the Radical Faction, whether Ninja or civilian, have now relocated near Uchiha Jin's home. That area has been re-established with a Defensive Barrier, and we can see patrol teams and countless hidden sentries being rearranged inside."
As he spoke, sweat beaded on the Uchiha's forehead.
Yes!
This action by the Radical Faction is practically establishing a State within a State, which is absolutely unacceptable.
While the Uchiha clan is rife with factions, and no one can convince anyone else, they are still quite united on the surface. Otherwise, the clan would likely collapse internally without the Konoha Leadership even needing to act... But now?
Uchiha Jin's actions have directly broken the rules.
*Bang!*
Uchiha Fugaku, who had just picked up his teacup to drink, was completely stunned by the news, then furiously smashed the cup onto the floor.
"Bastard! Damn him!"
"What does Uchiha Jin think he's doing? Does he want to forcibly split the Uchiha clan?"
Uchiha Fugaku's face was extremely grim, and killing intent flickered in his eyes.
He could not accept this!
He had spent these past years trying desperately to maintain the Uchiha's stability, constantly trembling and being cautious, afraid that the Uchiha clan would be destroyed in his hands by a single mistake.
But now?
That damned Uchiha Jin—he didn't expect him to understand him, and he could tolerate his usual troublemaking, but how dare he split the Uchiha clan now?
In response to this.
The Uchiha kneeling on one knee merely lowered his head, offering no rebuttal.
On the contrary.
A hint of confusion flickered in his eyes.
He had actually taken everything Uchiha Jin said at the clan meeting to heart.
Looking back at the events since Uchiha Fugaku became Clan Head, although Fugaku earned the title 'Vicious Eye' on the battlefield, he was too timid when facing the Konoha Leadership within the Village.
He hadn't felt this way before, but after hearing what Uchiha Jin said and thinking it over, it really seemed true!
Take the Night of the Nine-Tailed, which had the biggest impact on the Uchiha. At that time, the Uchiha were prepared to step forward and rescue Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, but unfortunately, they were blocked by Danzo Shimura.
He remembered Uchiha Jin, who was still an unknown figure back then, suggesting they shouldn't worry about Danzo's so-called Third Hokage's order, as the one in power at the time was Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze.
But, unfortunately.
The suggestion was rejected by Uchiha Fugaku, and no one took it seriously at the time.
And what was the result?
On the night Minato Namikaze tragically died, the Uchiha were completely ostracized and even forced to move out of their original ancestral land!
Sometimes he wondered, if they had listened to Uchiha Jin's suggestion back then, and if the Uchiha had truly rescued Minato Namikaze, would the Uchiha's current situation be better?
However, there are no 'ifs'!
After that night, Uchiha Jin once again became an unknown figure within the clan, until he awakened the Mangekyo, joined the Radical Faction, and became its leader a few days ago.
He probably understood why Uchiha Jin didn't defect to Uchiha Fugaku's side—because, in some ways, Fugaku was too indecisive.
So, what should be done?
Uchiha Inaho's eyes were filled with confusion. Although he vaguely felt that Uchiha Fugaku was truly failing now, Uchiha Jin was too radical, making it difficult for him to make a decision immediately.
Alas!
After a helpless sigh, he decided to wait and see.
"Inaho!"
Just as he was lost in confusion, Uchiha Fugaku suddenly spoke in a cold voice.
"Present!"
Uchiha Inaho's tone was very respectful.
A hint of hope even flickered in his eyes. Had Uchiha Fugaku finally decided to take direct action?
Although he privately agreed that some of Uchiha Jin's words were correct, he absolutely could not accept the splitting of the Uchiha clan. Therefore, if Uchiha Fugaku gave the order, he would definitely choose to support him.
Isn't it just starting a war with the Radical Faction?
The Uchiha do not fear fighting!
But, unfortunately.
Under his hopeful gaze, Uchiha Fugaku became conflicted again.
"No, forget it!"
"The Uchiha clan cannot withstand any more turmoil. We'll find a way to deal with that Uchiha Jin later."
"You may leave."
"As for the Radical Faction incident, just pretend you don't know about it."
Hearing this, Uchiha Inaho's eyes grew even more disappointed.
Their own Clan Head was too indecisive; he didn't know what to say, and could only respectfully choose to leave... Within the Uchiha Compound.
Various discussions filled the air everywhere. Some said the changes in the Konoha Leadership were due to the efforts of Clan Head Fugaku!
But, similarly.
Others claimed it was Uchiha Jin's achievement. In short, the entire Uchiha clan was constantly arguing.
Only a few truly clear-headed people couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and their dissatisfaction with Uchiha Fugaku grew stronger.
What right does a person who can't even suppress the voices within his own clan have to be the Clan Head of the Uchiha?
However, before the argument could reach a conclusion, they discovered that the Radical Faction had formed its own system, creating a Village within a Village and a Clan within a Clan inside the Uchiha compound!
Of course.
Uchiha Jin's speech at the clan meeting had now spread throughout the entire Uchiha clan.
Konoha's concession this time was forced by Uchiha Jin, and the Konoha Leadership would surely retaliate afterward.
Thinking about the Uchiha who went missing recently, some clan members scoffed at the idea, while others took it seriously and chose to move into the Radical Faction's compound.
As for this.
The Radical Faction naturally accepted everyone; after all, they were all Uchiha!
...Radical Faction Compound, Uchiha Jin's house.
Late at night.
Uchiha Jin sat cross-legged on the bed, his Mangekyo flickering in his eyes as he used his Visual Jutsu at its minimum level.
Ama-no-Tsune-Tachi!
This was a clever use he discovered by chance: as long as he maintained the Visual Jutsu at its minimum level, he could slowly recover two units of Ocular Power for every one unit consumed.
Although the speed is very slow and not as effective as the Eternal Mangekyo.
But for him, who had no system, no Cheat, and couldn't obtain weakened Hashirama cells, it was already quite good news.
