Chapter 56: Chapter 56
The nomination of Kaito as Clan Head is something that was already decided, and it can be said it's an unchangeable decision.
Everyone has their own interests, and these elders are no exception. But no matter how biased they are, they are members of the Uchiha clan!
The most typical mentality of Uchiha clan members is their reverence for strength. When facing Kaito, who possesses the Mangekyou Sharingan and is backed by Shisui.
Even if they have personal biases, they dare not reveal them, or they won't reveal them at all, because these biases have been completely shattered!
The subsequent voting, in fact, has no suspense.
The bloods were the first to step behind Kaito, although they were well aware that Kaito did not accept their ideology.
In fact, after hearing Kaito's argument, they also realized the problem. They indeed did not have a clear goal, and the outcome of arrogantly considering Konoha as an enemy is unimaginable.
It's not that they felt they were incapable, every Uchiha, every ninja, though cautious, also needs to have confidence alongside caution.
If they don't have confidence, how are they going to face formidable enemies?
But confidence and arrogance are two different things. The thought of having to face an attack from all of Konoha's clans, and a large number of civilian ninjas, would give anyone the chills.
They highly agreed with what Kaito said. Even if they feel they can win, others can exhaust you to death!
Moreover, Kaito had demonstrated his extraordinary power, even their elders respected him, naturally, they wouldn't go against Kaito's words.
The spirits, after seeing the bloods make their choice, silently took their position behind Kaito as well.
Strictly speaking, they were the first group to make a choice, because Shisui had already decided to follow Kaito.
Moreover, their elders had already made their decision. Even if they hadn't physically confronted Kaito, they knew what he had done among the bloods.
With Shisui's connection, the elders' support, and the assurance of Kaito's martial prowess, they didn't hesitate in the slightest.
As the two factions had completed their positioning, those who supported Uchiha Fugaku began to stir with noise.
Many of them looked troubled, and quite a few appeared extremely conflicted at this moment.
Regardless of what choice they would make, this matter was essentially already settled!
Especially when Shisui had already returned to the shrine. Although he looked somewhat absent-minded.
After learning that it was voting time, he showed no hesitation, directly positioning himself behind Kaito.
This move essentially removed any suspense from the vote!
"It seems the outcome is already determined." Kaito looked at Uchiha Fugaku and said calmly, "Clan Head Fugaku, do you have any further instructions?"
For this outcome, Kaito was not surprised at all. He had spent so much time on Shisui, on these faction members.
He even purposely revealed his Mangekyo Sharingan and got into a fight with the bloods. His goal was to smoothly complete this impeachment.
Moreover, during the impeachment at the clan meeting, Kaito once again took an overview of the Uchiha clan's situation from a god's perspective.
He had done everything that he could do. It was like a game of cards where all his opponents were essentially playing with their hands revealed.
With his knowledge of everything and the assistance of the system, it would truly be strange if he couldn't gain sufficient support.
However, he didn't dare relax in the slightest, because there was still one person he had to be wary of, and that was Uchiha Fugaku.
In terms of clan support and prestige, Uchiha Fugaku had already lost. Under Kaito's onslaught, Fugaku simply couldn't hold on.
But the most crucial point was whether this guy possessed the Mangekyo Sharingan!
If he were to simply give up, then naturally everything would be for the best. But if he didn't want to step down so easily, and he also possessed the Mangekyo Sharingan,
Then Kaito would probably have to engage in a fierce battle with him, because this was almost inevitable.
The Uchiha clan was inherently a warlike one, and Kaito himself had gained the opportunity to negotiate with these elders through the Mangekyo.
If Uchiha Fugaku also mastered the Mangekyo, and used the necessity for the clan leader to have sufficient strength as a reason, Kaito simply couldn't refuse this.
If he were to refuse, it would undoubtedly be a huge blow to his prestige!
"Yes, it seems the result is already determined."
Uchiha Fugaku nodded, but his next words caused Kaito to sigh involuntarily in his heart.
Fugaku lifted his head and looked at Kaito seriously. Then, his eyes started to change. As they turned crimson red, a terrifying aura poured from him.
His eyes had transformed into the state of the three-tomoe Sharingan. He quietly looked at Kaito, then at Shisui, and after a long while, he slowly spoke.
"I admit that, under your narration and after my deep thought, I am indeed not a qualified clan leader, and I am willing to step down.
However, Kaito-san, as a clan leader, I believe that your wisdom can indeed be competent, but the clan leader, especially the Uchiha clan leader, can't rely on intellect alone.
You must have sufficient strength to gain the approval of the entire clan!
Although your performance just now was excellent, in my view, all of this is not enough, because your Sharingan is not strong enough."
Upon saying this, Uchiha Fugaku paused, and the three tomoe in his eyes began to spin rapidly. In just a moment, his three tomoe had completely joined together!
At this moment, almost all the elders' faces changed dramatically, for they had never expected Uchiha Fugaku to hide so deeply.
They had never thought that this seemingly weak clan leader could also possess the Mangekyo Sharingan!
"Mangekyo Sharingan, this is the strongest state of the Sharingan. In fact, I have always been reluctant to show these eyes because I have always believed that these eyes would bring trouble."
Uchiha Fugaku's voice was very soft, and likewise, very resolute. He looked at Kaito with utmost seriousness and said.
"If you want to be a clan leader, I am actually willing to support you, but I think you are not enough. I suggest that Shisui become the clan leader candidate.
Because he also has these eyes, he is qualified, and there is another condition for him to truly become the clan leader, that is, to defeat me.
Only by truly defeating me, defeating me who possesses these eyes, can one be considered a qualified clan leader!
Kaito-san, do you understand my meaning?"
"Hmm, I understand."
Kaito sighed slightly, nodded his head in agreement, but quickly shook his head again.
He slightly turned his head and gave a soft smile to the elders behind him who seemed somewhat worried. Then, he turned his gaze towards Shisui.
Finally, he and Shisui together looked at Uchiha Fugaku. At this moment, their eyes turned incredibly crimson, and the pattern in their eyes was not the Tomoe state.
Instead, it was those eerie eyes, with irregular patterns, emanating terrifying power!
Uchiha Fugaku was a little dumbfounded at this moment, and not just him, those who stood behind him in support were also stunned.
However, after their momentary bewilderment, everyone's faces became incredibly horrified, astonished, and their shock was impossible to hide!
Mangekyo Sharingan, Uchiha Kaito actually also possesses the Mangekyo Sharingan!
Kaito calmly looked at Uchiha Fugaku, and finally, he revealed a smile.
"However, it's unfortunate that I too possess such eyes. I believe I'm qualified for this, right?"
