"It's the Clan Head, and Bai Mu?"
The quickest to react were the group of Uchiha Ninja standing outside the tent. They initially thought it was an enemy attack, but it turned out to be their own people fighting each other.
The question was, who started it?
Oh, the Clan Head was actually sent flying. Could it be...? Regardless of whether they were hawk faction or dove faction Uchiha Ninja, everyone was stunned by this scene.
Of course, Bai Mu's fervent supporters were completely different. These Uchiha were all wholeheartedly loyal believers of Bai Mu.
When they saw Bai Mu make a move, they naturally drew their weapons, ready to join the fight.
"What are you doing?"
Uchiha Kyo's face changed dramatically at the sight, and he immediately shouted sternly.
Uchiha Yatsushiro also frowned deeply and said in a grim tone, "Tekka, Inaho, are you trying to incite rebellion?"
Although they knew these people had thoughts of overthrowing Clan Head Fugaku's position and even had a clear plan, weren't they being too reckless?
Also, what's wrong with Bai Mu?
Too impulsive, things can't be done this way.
"Lord Yatsushiro, do not stop us. Clan Head Fugaku is no longer suitable to be the Clan Head of the Uchiha Clan. Only Lord Baimu is the most suitable Clan Head for the Uchiha Clan."
"Nonsense, what right does Bai Mu have?" Uchiha Kyo and Uchiha Mirai disagreed, immediately shouting in a stern voice.
"It's because Lord Baimu can lead our Uchiha out of our predicament. As Clan Head, Uchiha Fugaku has been completely ineffective since taking office, and his actions are indecisive. If he continues to be Clan Head, it will only lead to the further decline of my Uchiha Clan. So, by not making him abdicate, are you watching my Uchiha Clan head towards complete destruction?"
Uchiha Mina held a Ninja sword, dressed in black combat attire and red armor, with a white trench coat draped over her. The back of the trench coat was embroidered with a pattern.
That was the symbol of the White Flame Society, a white blazing flame, and those with such attire were all members of the White Flame Society.
"Bullshit, utter nonsense!"
Uchiha Yakumi couldn't stand it anymore and immediately reprimanded them sharply.
Uchiha Fugaku was the captain of the MPD, and he was the vice-captain.
As Uchiha Fugaku's most reliable right-hand man, with such a situation unfolding, he naturally couldn't stand idly by and immediately spoke to reprimand them.
However, the current situation could no longer be controlled by a few reprimands. Under the leadership of Uchiha Mina, Uchiha Inaho, and others, the young Uchiha Ninja who were members of the White Flame Society stepped forward, displaying their determination.
And looking at this group of young Clan members, dressed identically, it was clear that this wasn't a one-day or two-day affair. They had been planning this for a long time and had already formed a faction. And they still treated it like children playing house?
Alright, now things were really going to get serious.
Uchiha Yakumi and the others realized that this matter was quite significant.
Clearly, they weren't playing around; they were serious.
"The Clan Head of the Uchiha Clan is not gained through rebellion. Your actions are an act of rebellion, and causing trouble at a time like this, are you trying to give the Village leverage?"
Uchiha Yakumi was both shocked and angry. He had no choice but to explain the stakes involved. You cannot mess around like this. If something like this happens, how will the Village view our Uchiha Clan?
Uchiha Mina said coldly, "In the Ninja World, the strong are respected. Furthermore, Lord Baimu already has Tsunade's support. With the Uchiha Clan and the Senju Clan united, no one in Konoha can stop us."
Our Uchiha Clan has strength, and the Senju Clan, represented by Tsunade, holds Konoha's moral authority.
With both strength and moral authority, who can stop us?
"Nonsense!"
Uchiha Mirai didn't believe it, thinking it was a ridiculous excuse.
While the clan members were confronting each other, Uchiha Fugaku and Bai Mu had entered a heated battle. Although Fugaku was kicked away, his reaction was incredibly fast.
The moment he was kicked, he immediately formed hand signs, unleashing the Fire Release Ninjutsu: Great Fireball Jutsu.
A massive fireball erupted from Fugaku's mouth, and a huge wave of heat swept towards Bai Mu.
Great Fireball?
Has this Jutsu ever hit anyone?
You think you can hurt me with just this? What a pipe dream.
Bai Mu's gaze sharpened. Without him making any visible move, the enormous fireball was frozen solid in mid-air.
"What?"
Fugaku frowned, looking at the scene before him in disbelief. It was actually frozen solid. So Bai Mu also possessed such power?
He had never heard of the Uchiha having Ice Release power. Generally speaking, they were adept at Fire Release, which is a fire-attributed Chakra. So what was going on?
Before Fugaku could make his next move, Bai Mu's figure had already appeared in front of him.
This sight greatly astonished Uchiha Fugaku.
When did that happen?
He couldn't even sense it?
Fugaku found it hard to accept.
But Bai Mu didn't give him time to process it and kicked Fugaku again.
However, the latter wouldn't let Bai Mu kick him away again and immediately activated a Genjutsu.
Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes Technique!
Fugaku activated his Genjutsu.
He knew Bai Mu might have activated the Mangekyo Sharingan, but he also possessed that pair of eyes, and a Genjutsu clash depended on the strength of their ocular power.
Fugaku, of course, was confident, extremely confident.
My ocular power cannot be weak.
Within the blood-red space,
Fugaku confidently looked at the immobilized Bai Mu and softly said, "Bai Mu, although you've activated the Mangekyo Sharingan, you're not the only one with these eyes. And I activated mine earlier than you. In terms of ocular power, you can't compare to me."
"Your confidence is impressive, but it's a pity, you can't compare to me," Bai Mu said nonchalantly, completely unaffected.
No, this is impossible!
Uchiha Fugaku's face was filled with disbelief. His Sharingan spun rapidly, and his ocular power was fully unleashed at this moment. He couldn't accept that Bai Mu was completely unaffected.
How could this be?
This is absolutely impossible!
The more this happened, the more agitated Fugaku became, his expression growing increasingly excited and frenzied.
Ah, the Uchiha, it's very normal, very reasonable. Even someone as indecisive as Fugaku became somewhat abnormal at this moment, but it had no effect on Bai Mu.
The next moment, Fugaku returned to reality, a trace of blood seeping from his left eye, the bloodstain at the corner of his eye signifying that he had suffered a severe injury.
In the clash of the spiritual world, he had completely lost to Bai Mu.
In terms of Genjutsu, I actually couldn't contend?
In terms of ocular power, I should be stronger than him.
Fugaku found it hard to accept this fact.
"Fugaku, the head of the Uchiha Clan, from today onwards, it will be me. Are you still going to object?" Bai Mu stood in front of Fugaku, his expression calm as he spoke.
The latter was dispirited, having already suffered a great loss. He wasn't without the strength to fight again at this moment, but Genjutsu and Ninjutsu were no longer very effective, at least in terms of Genjutsu, he couldn't compete at all. As for Ninjutsu?
He could still continue, but Fugaku deduced it wouldn't be very effective, the results would definitely be mediocre. So, unless he used Susanoo to fight Bai Mu, but was that possible?
Fugaku certainly wouldn't dare; that would expose his Mangekyo Sharingan, so he wouldn't do that. Furthermore, using the Mangekyo Sharingan so frequently would put too much strain on his eyes.
Therefore, Fugaku wouldn't take such a risk. And as for a Taijutsu battle?
He knew his limits; he couldn't beat Bai Mu.
So, should he still persist?
Fugaku was in a difficult position.
"Bai Mu, don't think that just because you defeated me, you can become the head of the Uchiha Clan. The elders of the clan might not agree."
After a moment of hesitation, Fugaku finally spoke.
And when he spoke, he naturally still wanted to persuade Bai Mu not to continue making mistakes; such a thing could not be done.
Bai Mu curled his lip in disdain, sneering, "The Uchiha prioritize strength. My strength is greater than yours, my battle achievements are greater than yours, and I'm also younger than you. There are also people in the clan who support me. So why can't it be me?"
Saying that, he directly approached the clan members, looking around at the core Uchiha forces led by Uchiha Yakumi and Uchiha Yatsushiro, and asked, "Do you approve, or do you object?"
Uchiha Mina and Uchiha Inaho definitely strongly supported him. They didn't even need to hesitate and immediately responded.
"Support."
Their support didn't mean everyone else's support.
The group led by Uchiha Yakumi, Uchiha Kyo, and Uchiha Mirai still opposed this matter, and their stance was very firm.
"No, how can the Uchiha Clan be led by a young punk like you?"
"Besides, what are your qualifications? Strength? I don't believe you can defeat Clan Head Fugaku."
Uchiha Mirai was very assertive. Even though he saw that Clan Head Uchiha Fugaku had already suffered a loss, he was resolutely unwilling to back down.
"Bai Mu, you don't understand the clan's situation at all, and you're too young. Now is not the right time." Uchiha Yatsushiro wasn't as aggressive, but he also didn't support Bai Mu taking over now.
Of course, the main reason was that if you suddenly launched a military Coup d'état and directly ousted Uchiha Fugaku, would the clan elders agree to that?
Undoubtedly, this was a challenge to their authority.
Moreover, doing such a thing outside the village.
How would the clan members view it?
"The clan's situation?"
Bai Mu smiled disdainfully and said lightly, "I know more than you all. It's time for a change, and I will lead you to change. So, are you with me or not?"
The clan members fell silent, one after another.
Both the hawk faction and the dove faction were like this.
The Uchiha's situation was getting worse, which everyone could see, but as for whether they could endure it? It was actually still manageable, after all, it hadn't reached the dire situation after the Nine-Tails Attack, and not everyone was willing to go to extremes.
However, Bai Mu's actions were definitely unacceptable to the dove faction.
If you act so recklessly, and you end up in charge, won't you lead the Uchiha to destruction?
As for the hawk faction, the Clan Head was Uchiha Fugaku, and these hawk faction members generally recognized Uchiha Fugaku, at least most of them still somewhat recognized him.
As for you, Uchiha Bai Mu, so young, thinking of becoming Clan Head?
To these hawk faction members, it was definitely unacceptable.
Because Bai Mu was too young, he was not trusted.
Uchiha Mina stepped forward again, standing firmly by Bai Mu's side and vocally supporting him.
"Clan Head Fugaku is too weak. If it weren't for Lord Baimu, this war between our Uchiha and the Hidden Mist wouldn't have ended so easily. So what does that mean? It means we would have suffered greater casualties, and many of our Uchiha Clan members would have died. But now our losses have been reduced, and who do we owe that to? It's Lord Baimu. He led us to end the war with the Hidden Mist."
Without Bai Mu, how could we have ended the war so quickly?
The engagement with the Hidden Mist was very unfavorable to our Uchiha. We had Fire Release against Water Release, plus unfavorable geographical conditions, etc. If it had continued, how many clan members would have died?
But now, Bai Mu led us to quickly end this war against the Hidden Mist. If it weren't for his decisive strike, could we have defeated the Third Mizukage? Could we have severely damaged the Hidden Mist's main front-line forces?
The answer is, no.
However, Uchiha Mina's words provoked Uchiha Kyo's displeasure, and he immediately retorted, "Hmph, you certainly can exaggerate. We still don't know the full situation. The Hidden Mist hasn't fully retreated, and is all of this really Uchiha Bai Mu's credit?"
Exaggerating like that, you're truly outrageous.
Uchiha Mina was about to speak, to rebuke Uchiha Kyo.
But Bai Mu raised his hand to stop her, then looked at Uchiha Kyo with a slight smile and softly said, "If you're not convinced, you can continue."
Continue what?
Of course, continue to fight me.
As I said, whoever has the bigger fist gets to make the decisions.
Uchiha Yatsushiro, seeing this, had no choice but to earnestly persuade him, "Bai Mu, I just said that the elders won't agree to this approach, and the position of Clan Head isn't decided this way. At the very least, you need the support of most of the clan members. Now, with only these few young punks supporting you, it doesn't count."
I know you're young and impetuous, but you can't do this; it could easily break the rules.
The Uchiha Clan isn't without rules. The position of Clan Head cannot be decided this way, otherwise, wouldn't chaos ensue in the future? If everyone did this, what peace would there be?
Within a clan, if people fought to the death for the position of Clan Head in the future, it would bring no benefit to the family whatsoever.
This is all harm and no benefit. So, for the sake of the bigger picture, for the future of the Uchiha Clan, Yatsushiro did not support such an overly direct approach.
No matter what, this matter still needed to be discussed back home, and also, the clan members needed to be informed; you couldn't just decide it yourself.
"Aren't they also members of the Uchiha Clan?"
Bai Mu's Sharingan spun slowly, bringing an intense oppressive feeling to all the clan members present. No one could make any move under this terrifying pressure.
By his own power, truly by his own power, it was no exaggeration.
After a pause, Bai Mu looked at the group of elite Uchiha Clan Ninja in front of him and slowly said, "The youth are the future. My desire to be Clan Head is absolutely not for selfish reasons, but to restore the Uchiha Clan's glory. I can tell you all, I will lead everyone to rebuild the Uchiha's prestige, and I will not enjoy this glory alone!"
