"Tomoki-kun, is there anything else? Besides the matter with Itachi and the Kyuubi, were there any other mistakes?"
Uchiha Fugaku also stared at Tomoki and asked. He admitted that he had made mistakes in both Itachi and the Nine-Tailed Fox, and now wanted to know if there were any other problems.
"Of course, the third one is the relocation of the clan's territory." Uchiha Tomoki answered directly.
At this time, Uchiha Fugaku shook his head and said, "It was right after the Nine-Tails Rebellion. The whole of Konoha was extremely hostile to us. The higher-ups used the excuse of compensating the family for heavy losses to relocate our clan to our current location. At that time, everyone in Konoha was against us. At that time, apart from obediently moving, the only option was to fight to the death... With our clan's strength, there was no hope of victory at all."
"Patriarch Fugaku, your weakness has been fully demonstrated in this matter."
Uchiha Tomoki straightened his expression and continued, "Clan leader, at that time you chose to be tolerant and unwilling to fight Konoha. Now that the voices within the clan supporting the coup are growing louder and louder, and most of the clan members support the coup, are you willing to lead everyone to fight against Konoha now?"
The surrounding tribesmen were also looking forward to Fugaku's answer. After the Nine-Tailed Fox Rebellion, with the endless suppression from the top leaders, the originally neutral and some peace-loving tribesmen also joined the coup camp. They wanted to know what the tribe leader thought.
Fugaku didn't answer immediately. He looked carefully at all the tribesmen present, and finally said, "I... am willing... to lead the tribe in resistance."
Saying this seemed to have drained all his strength, and most of the tribesmen seemed extremely excited after hearing the answer.
Among them, people like Elder Uchiha Kiyoshi and Shisui, who yearned for peace and wanted to integrate into Konoha, looked at the excited clansmen with deep concern on their faces.
"Stupid, weak, and extremely incompetent!" Uchiha Tomoki shouted angrily. He didn't look at Fugaku, but spoke to everyone.
"Yes, that's right. It's not just you, Chief Fugaku, but all of you, my people. You are so stupid and weak. I've never seen such a thing before!"
Tomoki's words made everyone angry. The power of the map cannon was still too great. All the tribesmen glared at him, waiting for an explanation.
Tomoki didn't keep everyone waiting for long and continued to ask Fugaku, "Patriarch Fugaku, after the Nine-Tails Rebellion, is Konoha stronger or weaker now?"
"Stronger."
"Where are the Uchiha clan?"
"Weaker."
"Why didn't you fight before? You had reasons back then, but now you can't even find an excuse to fight?"
"Tomoki-kun, before, all the ninjas in Konoha were hostile to us. Now, as long as we defeat the Third Hokage and Danzo, we can take the position of Hokage."
"Haha, Chief Fugaku, if the Hyuga clan kills the Sandaime tomorrow and Hyuga Hiashi becomes Hokage, will you obey and not resist?"
"Won't."
"What about the Hyuga clan being replaced by Aburame, Inuzuka, and Ino-Shika-cho?"
"Neither will it."
"So what makes you think that a coup now doesn't require facing the entire Konoha, just because our last name is Uchiha?"
Fugaku fell silent, and so did the tribesmen around him. They couldn't help but wonder in their hearts, could a coup really succeed now?
Although the Uchiha clan is arrogant and often thinks that their clan is the best in the world, they are not so stupid as to say that they have the confidence to deal with the Third Hokage and Danzo Shimura. However, if they really have to face the entire Konoha, no one thinks that the Uchiha clan will win.
Some of the tribesmen who were initially inspired by the coup factions to launch a coup have now calmed down and are filled with fear.
"Clan leader Fugaku, if the Uchiha clan is very powerful and defeats the Konoha clan and many ninja clans, and Konoha is left with only the Uchiha clan, can they still win against Sunagakure, Iwagakure, and Kumogakure?"
Fugaku said with a self-deprecating smile on his face, "No."
"Then why did Chief Fugaku change his mind? Just because the voices of peace in the clan were louder than the coup at that time, he supported peace. Now the voices of the coup in the clan are louder than peace, so he supports the coup. Chief Fugaku, are you a puppet of the clan or the clan leader?"
Fugaku just remained silent and did not answer the question.
Youshu continued, "It's inevitable that the tribe members have their own ideas, and what the tribe leader should do is to unify the tribe members' ideas, rather than being led by their ideas! This is the best manifestation of your incompetence, tribe leader."
Then Uchiha Tomoki came to one side of the gathering hall, looked at the clan members present, and said: "Now, I, Uchiha Tomoki, impeach the current clan leader, Uchiha Fugaku, for being incompetent and unable to continue to lead the Uchiha clan. I nominate myself to be the next clan leader. Those who are willing to support me, come in front of me and line up!"
"Of course, those who are willing to continue to support Chief Fugaku can stand in front of Chief Fugaku."
"Swish, swish, swish!"
Soon after the words fell, Shisui, Gengetsu, Naoto and others who supported Tomoki stood directly in front of Tomoki. This was just the beginning, and more and more tribesmen joined in.
Afterwards, Uchiha Hiko and his two companions stood in front of Tomoki, and at the same time gave Tomoki a thumbs up.
Afterwards, Shisui's second grandfather Uchiha Kiyoshi came over without much hesitation.
When there is no comparison, people often cannot accurately judge the good or bad of things, but once there is a comparison, they can clearly distinguish what is better.
Soon, there were almost people standing in front of Tomoki, while there was no one in front of Fugaku. Except for the few ninjas who came with him at the beginning, there was no one else around him.
But what was strange was that five of the six elders stood on his side, including the more radical old man and his two companions, Elder Qing from the Shisui family, and the neutral Elder Paida who had spoken for Fugaku before.
The only one who didn't come was another elder from the Uchiha clan who was a fence-sitter and whom Youshu thought was not a big problem.
Uchiha Youshu looked at him curiously, "Elder, do you have any opinion about me?"
"Although I admit that I misjudged Fugaku, you are not much better than Fugaku."
"Youshu, from your words, I can see that you don't want a coup and want to live in peace with Konoha. Now it's impossible. Uchiha and Konoha are already on the edge of a cliff. If they continue to drag it out, they will die. There is still a glimmer of hope for resistance."
The Uchiha clan said loudly.
Tomoki was a little surprised to see the excited elder of the sect. It seemed that Konoha's approach was indeed useful, forcing an usually honest old man to want to rebel.
Youshu didn't want to care about him for the time being. He was just an elder. He would have plenty of ways to deal with things after becoming the clan leader. It all depended on whether this honest man could see the situation clearly.
Fugaku looked at the comparison between the two sides. The only elder who did not go to Tomoki's side obviously did not support him.
Without time to think too much, he came to Youshu and handed the token representing the clan leader to Youshu.
"Please accept it, Chief Youshu."
This time Tomoki did not refuse and took the token directly from Fugaku. After Fugaku handed over the token, he seemed to become lighter and the lines on his face became softer.
After nodding to Fugaku, Tomoki said, "Fugaku Jonin, please join the ranks."
Tomoki didn't intend to do anything to Fugaku. After completely eliminating his prestige as the former clan leader, his goal had been achieved.
Whether Fugaku opens his Mangekyo or not, he is a good player in the family. In the future, as long as his bottom line is not touched, he will not deliberately target Fugaku anymore.
As Fugaku joined the group, the tribesmen present were very excited as they looked at Tomoki in the front, and loudly expressed their excitement in various words.
Finally, all the miscellaneous words slowly merged into a neat sentence.
"Meet the Patriarch!"
