Half an hour later.
Clan Head's house, reception hall.
The Uchiha who had not yet joined the Radical Faction were now all seated inside the conference hall. Everyone was whispering to each other, and their expressions were obviously not very good.
Fugaku was the sa.
Although there seed to be quite a few people in the reception hall, one had to know that this was everyone on his side, and most of them were from the Moderate Faction. The number of people he could truly command could be counted on one hand.
Sigh!
He let out a sigh.
Thinking back to a month ago, he could still command with vigor. How did it beco like this now?
"Alright, Fugaku."
"Everyone is here. Just say whatever you have to say directly."
The one who spoke was Uchiha Yashiro, one of the elders of the Moderate Faction, who was inclined to make concessions to the village and integrate into it.
Now that the situation within the Uchiha clan had beco like this, to be honest, his mood had been very unhappy. You have to know that of the clansn who originally trusted him, only two or three stray cats remained.
If Fugaku hadn't indicated that there was sothing important, he really wouldn't have been in the mood to co!
Others remained silent.
Nowadays, everyone basically had no respect for Fugaku. After all, he was just a commander without soldiers. Although he still bore the title of Clan Head, in reality, no one took him seriously.
Fugaku: "..."
His face was so gloomy that water could drip from it, and his whole person clenched his fists in anger.
He hated it!
If he had known earlier that Uchiha Jin would be such a disaster, he should have killed him at all costs when this guy just rose up.
Now, it was too late.
Taking a deep breath, he forcibly suppressed this thought, and his tone beca very serious: "That guy Uchiha Jin got our ancestral land back!"
Hiss!
Hearing Fugaku's words, everyone gasped.
But before everyone could react from the shock, Fugaku, as the Clan Head, spoke again: "But this is absolutely not a good thing. Everyone should know the relationship between the Uchiha and the village. Forcibly demanding that piece of land back from the village like this will only make the situation between the Uchiha and the village even more tense."
"So, Uchihas!"
"We cannot let Uchiha Jin continue to ss around. We must find a way to stop this guy's stupid behavior."
"We finally managed to ease things with the village; we absolutely cannot let Uchiha Jin destroy all this!"
But, unfortunately.
Even though Fugaku was shouting excitedly, the atmosphere at the scene was dead silent.
Everyone remained silent; no one spoke.
Fugaku looked bewildered.
He couldn't quite understand why there was no reaction from everyone.
After a long ti.
As Fugaku's face beca increasingly ugly, Uchiha Shii, an elder of the Neutral Faction, sighed and spoke helplessly: "I admit what you said is right, Fugaku, but the problem is we can't stop it."
"Yeah, there's no one left!" Uchiha Yashiro also nodded slowly: "Fugaku, accept your fate."
"Except for the people in this room, everyone else has defected to the Radical Faction."
"Even if we want to resist, we don't have the strength to resist!"
With everyone's words, Fugaku's heart sank lower and lower.
Uchiha Shiho, who had been silent all along, couldn't help but mutter: "I told you before, Fugaku, that we should also implent defensive asures similar to the Radical Faction, but you were hesitant and unwilling."
"You were thinking about the general trend, but the people below don't understand these things."
"They just know that if they don't defect to the Radical Faction, the only path awaiting them is death."
Everyone present spoke up one after another.
Basically, everyone had complaints about Fugaku. If not for his lack of responsibility as a Clan Head, they wouldn't have been betrayed and abandoned by everyone.
Finally, Uchiha Amano, the Grand Elder of the Uchiha and a person from the era of Uchiha Madara, spoke. He had actually retired long ago and was living out his old age at ho, existing now only as a mascot.
But this ti, he also spoke: "I don't hate those clansn who defected to the Radical Faction because they simply want to live. Since you, Fugaku, as the Clan Head, cannot protect their safety, don't bla them for choosing to defect to the Radical Faction."
"Don't talk about the overall situation of the Uchiha. If you were really that selfless, would you be willing to give your wife and children directly to Danzo in exchange for those ordinary clansn?"
"Why haven't the people sitting here defected to the Radical Faction?"
"Not because of the so-called sake of the Uchiha, but simply because everyone's strength is here, and we are not afraid of Root coming to assassinate us."
"I am tired!"
"Since Uchiha Jin now represents the general trend, I, this Uchiha, will also join the Radical Faction."
"As for you, Fugaku, I give you one last piece of advice!"
"You are always hesitant no matter when. The Uchiha fell into this predicant because of your hesitation. Back then, the Uchiha had clearly chosen to fully support the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato..."
"But when Namikaze Minato was truly in trouble, you missed the opportunity to rescue him because of Danzo's obstruction, which led to the clan falling into this predicant."
"You are really not suitable to be the Clan Head. I advise you to abdicate voluntarily."
"That's all I have to say. Farewell!"
After speaking.
Uchiha Amano stood up tremblingly, took the few people around him, and left straight away, heading directly to defect to the Radical Faction.
Inside the reception hall, there was dead silence.
Everyone fell silent; no one spoke again.
Fugaku's face was ugly!
Uchiha Amano tore open the truth he least wanted to face. The Uchiha had fallen into this situation indeed because of his hesitation back then.
But, similarly.
He absolutely did not acknowledge Uchiha Jin's ideas. In his view, Uchiha Jin was simply too radical.
If the Uchiha were led by him, the clan would definitely be exterminated!
Just at this ti, Uchiha Yashiro also chose to stand up: "Everyone, I bid you farewell too!"
"Although I don't quite approve of Uchiha Jin, I have thought carefully during this period. Whether it was Root and Anbu choosing to retreat, or his active defense during this period, he has indeed ensured the safety of the clansn's lives."
"Now he has even gotten back the Uchiha ancestral land!"
"I think I should try to trust Uchiha Jin!"
"Although his behavior is indeed a bit radical, it has indeed changed the situation where the Uchiha were passively beaten."
"Perhaps listening to Uchiha Jin will lead to clan extermination, but it's better than living in such humiliation now. I, Uchiha Yashiro, also have blood nature in my body."
"I'd rather die standing than live kneeling!"
After speaking.
Uchiha Yashiro left straight away, and the people following him also left imdiately.
With the departure of the two elders, many others stood up one after another and finally chose to defect to the Radical Faction directly.
In the end.
Only Clan Head Fugaku, Elders Uchiha Shiho and Uchiha Shii, and three subordinates, totaling thirteen Uchiha Jonin, remained at the scene.
Fugaku's face beca increasingly ugly, and the killing intent in his eyes grew heavier.
Uchiha Jin!
Just because of this bastard, he had truly beco a commander without soldiers.
Suddenly.
Just at this ti, Shisui, who had just finished his duty, ca in.
Looking at the empty room, Shisui couldn't help but speak.
"Clan Head, where are the others?"
"Aren't we supposed to have a eting to determine how to organize against Uchiha Jin and the Radical Faction?"
"Where are the other elders?"
