As soon as Uchiha Shin's words fell.
Everyone's expressions changed.
Before hearing Uchiha Shin's words, they hadn't felt it.
Now, hearing Uchiha Shin's words.
They only felt a chill shoot up from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads.
However.
Fugaku had no reaction to this.
His face was extremely grim.
"I haven't seen the Konoha higher-ups' army surrounding the Uchiha! The Uchiha are in a critical moment? That's just fearmongering! Uchiha Shin, I see you're creating panic to divert the topic and get Itachi killed. What a venomous heart!" Uchiha Fugaku angrily reprimanded Uchiha Shin.
"Get out of my way, or I won't be polite!"
"Look, in the heart of Clan Head Fugaku, the safety of our Uchiha clan is far less important than his good son who betrayed the clan and raised the butcher's knife against his own people!"
Uchiha Shin's eyes narrowed slightly.
He sneered, "That beast, the weasel, is definitely dying today. I'm telling you, not even Clan Head Fugaku can save him!"
Watching the confrontational Uchiha Shin and Uchiha Fugaku.
The Uchiha clansmen were completely dumbfounded.
How did it come to this!
They somewhat believed Uchiha Shin's words.
But Uchiha Fugaku's words also seemed to have some merit.
For a moment, they didn't know what to do.
"You're courting death! As the clan head, I declare that Uchiha Shin has murdered a fellow clansman, an unforgivable crime. Men, seize him!"
Uchiha Fugaku shouted loudly.
He had been the clan head for over a decade.
Although his abilities were mediocre.
He still had some prestige within the Uchiha.
Moreover.
After managing the Uchiha for so many years, he had also gathered a number of loyal followers.
These people heard Uchiha Fugaku's command.
And immediately launched an attack on Uchiha Shin.
"Get lost!!"
Uchiha Shin directly activated his Susanoo.
He swung his golden mountain-cleaving great axe.
And sent all the people attacking him flying.
Then, he turned his gaze towards Uchiha Fugaku!
"Uchiha Fugaku! As the clan head, you couldn't lead the Uchiha out of their predicament. Under your leadership, the great Uchiha clan has been split into three factions: the doves, the hawks, and the moderates. You constantly waver between coup and compromise, with no firm stance, and no achievements. Everything you have done since taking charge of the Uchiha clan for so many years has only demonstrated your incompetence."
"As a father, you also failed to raise your son well. A series of seemingly clever but in reality, extremely foolish educational methods, completely pushed him to Sarutobi Hiruzen's side, making him not hesitate to raise the butcher's knife against his own people."
"Now, you dare to twist the truth and bark wildly here, desperately protecting that beast of a son. It's truly the worst luck for the Uchiha clan to have a clan head like you. In that case, today, I will clean house! If you cannot lead the Uchiha out of their predicament, then let me! If you cannot restore the glory of the Uchiha, then let me!"
Uchiha Shin shouted loudly.
At the same time, he manipulated his Susanoo and walked towards Uchiha Fugaku.
Since Fugaku was so ungrateful.
And insisted on causing trouble at a time like this.
Then he might as well settle it once and for all, and get rid of this incompetent clan head Fugaku as well.
Although the Uchiha clan massacre was a decision by the higher-ups and carried out by Itachi.
During this period, Fugaku's inaction as clan head was also a factor.
He was useless at everything, just occupying the position without doing anything.
It could be said that within the entire Uchiha clan.
Aside from Itachi and Shisui.
Uchiha Shin disliked Uchiha Fugaku the most.
Since he had presented the opportunity.
It would be a disservice to such a good opportunity not to see him off.
"Hmph, Uchiha Shin, your wild ambitions can't be hidden after all. After doing so much, isn't it just to launch a coup and seize power? Why make it sound so righteous! Do you think a mere pair of Mangekyo Sharingan can let you do whatever you want, without restraint? Too naive! Today, I will let you know that there is always someone better, and awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan is not that big of a deal!"
With that.
Uchiha Fugaku directly revealed his Mangekyo Sharingan.
A purple chakra giant quickly materialized.
Enveloping Fugaku.
Once again, the scene of two Susanoos confronting each other reappeared.
For a moment, all the Uchiha clan members were in an uproar.
"So, Clan Head Fugaku has also awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan!"
"But why didn't he show it before?"
"What was he doing hiding it all this time?"
"Now he's not hiding it to deal with his own people?"
These words were mostly complaints from the hawks.
They were dissatisfied that Fugaku, who possessed the Mangekyo Sharingan, never showed it when the Uchiha were being oppressed by the Konoha higher-ups, but was now so eager to use it against his own people.
"Hmph, what nonsense."
"Clan Head Fugaku didn't show it just to preserve his strength."
"Now that Shin has done such an outrageous thing, there's no point in Clan Head Fugaku hiding it anymore. It's reasonable for him to reveal it now!"
These words were naturally rebuttals from the doves, or Fugaku's direct subordinates.
"Give it a rest, Clan Head Fugaku is the kind of incompetent clan head who is submissive to outsiders but ruthless to his own people!"
"If he was really that powerful, he wouldn't have dared to fight Sarutobi Hiruzen when our Uchiha clan was being bullied by the Konoha higher-ups."
"To stand up for our Uchiha clan!"
"..."
Regarding the internal squabbles of the Uchiha.
Uchiha Shin completely ignored them.
He sneered, "What a pity, Clan Head Fugaku, you've hidden your Mangekyo Sharingan for so long. You've never used it against outsiders, but now you're using it for internal strife!"
"Hmph, using it to suppress a rebel also has its meaning!" Fugaku snorted coldly.
"Then you should have used it on that beast of a son, the weasel, first!" Uchiha Shin mocked coldly.
"Itachi has always been my pride. I don't believe he would attack his own clansmen. On the contrary, I didn't see him attack his clansmen, but I did see you, disrespectful and disobedient, attacking your own clansmen! Uchiha Shin, you deserve to die!!" Fugaku snorted coldly.
Tsk!!!
Hearing Fugaku's words.
Uchiha Shin couldn't be bothered to argue with him.
Because he knew that you can never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep.
In fact, with Fugaku's ability, it would be an easy matter to find out who, between him and Itachi, had attacked their clansmen.
He didn't even need to investigate.
He could reach a conclusion with some simple reasoning.
But he stubbornly refused to admit it.
Insisting on protecting his good son.
Since that was the case, then there was nothing more to say!
Just fight
