"I need to see your Mangekyo first before I can determine how to discuss things with you."
He was very straightforward.
Just as he said, the Mangekyo Sharingan is the symbol of the Uchiha.
Even if Uchiha Jin had achieved the feat of slaying the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, no promises could be made until it was truly confirmed.
Uchiha Jin nodded.
Without any further ado, he directly activated his Mangekyo.
Even though Fugaku had some mental preparation for this moment, he couldn't help but feel a shiver run down his spine when he actually saw it.
This cold and gloomy feeling was indeed the Mangekyo Sharingan.
"Good, you can close it now." Fugaku took a deep breath, then spoke directly: "Our Uchiha Clan has always revered strength!"
"I know you have some unpleasantness with the clan, and I don't expect you to shake hands and make peace with the radical faction within the clan."
"The capable rise, the mediocre fall."
"Starting today, you are automatically promoted to Uchiha Elder."
"For any clan matters, you automatically gain voting rights."
"Regarding clan industries, each Elder, including myself, will contribute a portion, and you can receive approximately one-tenth."
"Converted to silver, the annual dividends would be a little over four hundred million, just under five hundred million ryo."
"Also, starting today, your branch will be automatically promoted to one of the Uchiha Main Branches."
"The descendants of your branch will automatically be trained as Main Branch ninja."
"Furthermore, the Konoha Military Police Force."
"Within the Military Police Force, strength is paramount."
"Since you have awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, I will naturally step down and yield my position. From now on, you will be the Captain of the Konoha Military Police Force!"
Hiss!
As Fugaku spoke, Uchiha Jin was stunned.
Yes.
He had never expected that without even discussing anything, he would be given such a huge gift package.
Truly, what a guy!
Every single item within it contained immense wealth.
Elder qualification, voting rights, industrial dividends, promotion to a Main Branch... the most exaggerated was becoming the Captain of the Konoha Military Police Force!
Although the Military Police Force was considered the most useless among the seven departments in Konoha.
But that was only because the Uchiha were simple-minded and didn't know how to play the game.
If it were truly in his hands, Uchiha Jin could bring down Konoha.
However.
He really didn't want to accept it!
If he truly accepted these things, he would be completely tied to the Uchiha.
"Um... Clan Head-sama!" Uchiha Jin quickly spoke: "I prefer a leisurely life, so let's forget about these things."
"I feel like I'm doing quite well now."
"I'm most afraid of taking on responsibility, so you should let someone else handle this."
Fugaku was silent!
Even though Uchiha Jin refused him, his face remained calm.
After a long while.
He couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "You really don't seem like an Uchiha; you're more like a Nara."
Uchiha Jin's mouth twitched.
Immediately.
A chill ran down his spine!
Nara Kazama had said this before.
At the time, he hadn't paid much attention to it, but with Fugaku saying it too, he instantly felt that something was wrong.
Even the simple-minded Uchiha could see this problem.
Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't see it?
He fell silent.
However.
Fugaku couldn't discern his thoughts; he just continued speaking to himself.
"You must accept these things."
"The Uchiha are clear about grievances and favors, and everything is done according to the rules."
"Granting you these rights isn't me trying to win you over; it's already stipulated by the clan rules."
"So, there's no need to fear."
"Even if you accept these, you don't necessarily have to join my faction."
"However, rights and obligations are reciprocal!"
"As an Uchiha, you must strive for the future of the clan."
"Jin-kun, keep up the good work."
"Everything is for the Uchiha!"
Uchiha Jin had a terrible headache.
Especially looking at Fugaku in front of him, he had a belly full of complaints but didn't know how to voice them.
How to put it?
This Clan Head Fugaku, was he too simple-minded?
Were clan rules important?
You, as a Clan Head, don't you have the final say?
But, it was also normal!
The Uchiha, after all.
If they really had such shrewdness, the Uchiha wouldn't have ended up in this situation.
Thinking of this, Uchiha Jin actually admired the Uchiha ancestors a bit.
The clan rules they formulated were indeed powerful!
The capable rise, the mediocre fall.
As long as you're strong enough, the clan gives you everything.
Once completely tied to the clan, if the clan ever faces problems, could you really bear to abandon it?
The annual dividends from the clan alone were a huge sum!
If he could truly control such a group of simple-minded Uchiha, it would indeed be a formidable force.
Alas!
Thinking of Nara Kazama's plan, he pondered for a moment before nodding and agreeing to it.
It would indeed be helpful for his own plan.
"Okay, I agree." Uchiha Jin said directly.
Fugaku showed a smile, then said with a laugh.
"Oh, there's one more thing."
"I actually understand the subtle relationship between our clan and the village."
"And about you awakening the Mangekyo, I did inform the village, which many in the clan are very unhappy about."
"I don't want to explain to them."
"But for you, I'll explain."
"Our Uchiha Clan and Konoha have a very delicate relationship, and we Uchiha don't have enough power to completely suppress the village."
"Necessary displays of weakness, I think, are quite normal."
"And you don't need to worry about the village having ill intentions towards you, because the moment you become a clan Elder, it also means automatically giving up your ninja qualifications."
