“Fugaku, you’re late!” Uchiha Setsuna rapped his fingers on the table.

Already elderly, he was a representative of the hawk faction, advocating for seizing the Hokage position from the Senju lineage.

Whether through political maneuvering or force, the Uchiha must attain a position befitting their glory.

Therefore, he had long been dissatisfied with Fugaku.

A wavering and weak individual, unfit to lead their clan!

“Alright, since he’s here, let the clan head announce today’s agenda,” Uchiha Yashiro, a Jonin, intervened to mediate.

The Uchiha Clan Meeting.

Traditionally, Fugaku would propose a topic related to the future development of the Uchiha, followed by discussions and voting among all participating Uchiha ninjas.

Naturally, Fugaku, as the clan head, possessed the right to veto.

Due to the tense political climate, recent clan meetings had been forced to revolve around sensitive topics related to “seizing power.”

And the votes from the hawk faction gradually gained the upper hand, forcing Fugaku to exercise his veto power multiple times.

However… the veto power, without absolute strength as a foundation, loses its effectiveness when overused.

Ninjas had their limits of tolerance.

Fugaku remained silent, writing today’s agenda on the blackboard: [March of Hardship, Education of Gratitude]

The Uchiha in attendance: “?”

Not just the hawks, but even the doves among the Uchiha couldn’t help but voice their confusion.

The Uchiha participating in the clan meeting were all high-ranking and well-educated ninjas.

They weren't illiterate; they recognized every character Fugaku wrote. However, combined, the meaning remained elusive.

“March of Hardship, Education of Gratitude, The Advisor's Kindness Must Not Be Forgotten!”

“Looking back at the history of our Uchiha clan, it seems we have always been marching through hardship.”

“But now, change has arrived, a turning point unseen in fifty years!”

“This is thanks to the kindness of Advisor Gojo…”

Ah, now they understood.

The expressions of the clan members present cleared. They hadn’t understood the beginning or the middle, but they finally grasped the end.

Gojo Kaigetsu, the clan head’s close friend, the Hokage’s advisor, a figure who had gained considerable prominence in Konoha in recent years.

But he was a Chunin!

The Uchiha clan, who always revered strength, didn’t care about such things. Gojo Kaigetsu was just a Chunin, no matter what, still just a Chunin. Could he help them achieve the glory the Uchiha deserved?

The dismissive looks on the faces of the clan members were expected.

Fugaku remained unfazed, slowly placing the “Three Years in the Ninja Academy” brought by Mikoto on the table.

“What’s this?”

“The first story, read it yourselves.”

Within the Uchiha, Fugaku was the leader, and Setsuna was second in command. He, naturally, furrowed his brow and was the first to peruse “Three Years in the Ninja Academy.”

“The 39th year of Konoha? The Military Police Force? The old lady stealing Soldier Pills?”

Uchiha Setsuna frowned repeatedly. His seniority surpassed Fugaku’s, and his experience within the Military Police Force was even more extensive.

He could almost certainly say that such a story had never occurred in the Military Police Force that year.

However-

One could call the Uchiha crazy, but not weak. With a bit of thought, Uchiha Setsuna understood the deeper meaning embedded within “Soldier Pills.”

“Hmph, an act of cowardice, I will not tolerate it.”

“Having us Uchiha respect a Chunin? That’s your personal friendship, Fugaku, it has nothing to do with the clan!”

Uchiha Setsuna crossed his arms. As a traditional Uchiha ninja, he preferred to trust the kunai in his hand.

“We, the Uchiha, have not fallen so low that we need the support of those commoners and a Chunin to achieve our rightful place.”

“Fugaku, you’re still too young, you don’t understand the principle of power stemming from the blade!”

“I know Danzo, that guy will never back down easily. He inherited the Second Hokage’s will and has long harbored deep malice towards our Uchiha.”

“Even if this article is effective, the peace it brings will be temporary.”

“The villagers of Konoha, they simply don’t acknowledge us!”

“Foolish! Elder Setsuna, this is our chance for peaceful coexistence with the village!” The dove faction Uchiha glared.

“Temporary peace is useless!”

Neither side paid much attention to the “Soldier Pills” story or the “Kindness of Gojo” that Fugaku mentioned.

This clan meeting seemed to be descending into an endless abyss of arguments.

Then, Uchiha Fugaku spoke once more:

“Setsuna, Yashiro, Tekka, Inabi…”

Like a grim reaper calling out names, he addressed over a dozen Uchiha Jonin, both hawks and doves, in an unprecedentedly serious tone.

The chaotic meeting hall gradually fell silent.

“Those whose names I called, stay. The rest of you may leave.”

“This…”

The Uchiha ninjas exchanged glances, ultimately choosing to depart.

Finally, only a dozen or so core members of the Uchiha remained in the meeting hall.

“Fugaku, what’s so important that you had to dismiss the others?”

“You are all the absolute core of the Uchiha clan. I won’t hide anything from you.”

“I didn’t discuss the previous agenda with any of you.”

“At this stage, the clan absolutely cannot engage in armed conflict with Konoha. And we must absolutely respect and remember Advisor Gojo’s kindness.”

His domineering and low voice reverberated throughout the meeting hall.

Uchiha Setsuna’s eyes flickered. He couldn’t comprehend what had gotten into Fugaku today. The usually indecisive Fugaku was speaking with such conviction.

However, facing the new alpha of the pack, Setsuna refused to submit so easily. He raised a critical question:

“Fugaku, why do you think you can control our will? Just based on your position as clan head? Can you truly do that?”

“Based on…”

“These eyes.”

In the next second, Uchiha Setsuna’s pupils constricted.

What did he see?!

A pair of eyes, distinct from the three-tomoe Sharingan, radiating a scary and chilling chakra, appeared before them.

“This is… the Sharingan?”

“No, wait, this is the Mangekyo Sharingan!” Uchiha Setsuna exclaimed. “Fugaku, when did you…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Setsuna seemed to be caught in a trance-like state of ecstatic frenzy. He muttered to himself:

“These are the eyes that Madara once possessed. With these eyes… with these eyes, we, the Uchiha, can completely…”

Uchiha Setsuna raised his head, his face filled with fanaticism, about to say something, but he met Fugaku’s calm and unwavering gaze.

“These eyes are a symbol of peace. They are eyes that will bring you peace of mind.”

“Unless the village attacks us first, I, Fugaku, will never use these eyes against the village, nor will I allow my clan members to do so.”

“Now…”

Uchiha Fugaku placed his hands on the podium, leaning forward imposingly:

“Regarding what I said, about peaceful coexistence with the village, respecting and remembering Advisor Gojo’s kindness.”

“Who agrees, and who opposes?”

Fugaku surveyed the room. This time, no one dared to speak against him. He nodded in satisfaction:

“The next agenda item concerns the procurement of ‘Three Years in the Ninja Academy’ for the foundational education of our Uchiha children…”
