Everyone please find your own seat and sit down."
After saying that, Youshu went straight to the clan leader's seat this time. Still not used to kneeling, he chose to sit cross-legged on the cushion.
Seeing that their new patriarch had already sat down, the others also found their seats and sat down.
As the saying goes, a new official starts with three things!
Uchiha Tomoki looked at the clan members sitting in front of him and started his first fire.
If you want to unify the thoughts of the tribe, the first thing you need to do is of course to gain the greatest power.
As a clan that believes in power, the Uchiha clan actually did not have the position of elder before Uchiha Madara's betrayal.
Before that, the clan leader had the highest authority and the strongest power in the clan. He was the symbol of the Uchiha clan, and the clan leader was the clan.
This is also the reason why Madara's betrayal had such a huge impact on the Uchiha clan.
What Tomoki wants now is of course to become a clan leader like Madara, and the first thing he wants is to take back the power in his hands.
"In these difficult times, I have become the clan leader. What is most needed is for all clan members to unite as one and face difficulties together. Therefore, the current system of elders within the clan is obviously inappropriate. I want to reform the system of elders!"
Tomoki didn't beat around the bush and directly put forward his request.
"First, there will no longer be an elder position within the clan. The current elders will be replaced by family advisors. Advisors can offer opinions on all matters within the clan and report back to the clan leader. They can also participate in important meetings and make suggestions. The only difference from now is that advisors will no longer have the power to transfer ninjas within the clan. From now on, I will be the only one who can transfer ninjas within the clan."
"I wonder if you all agree?" After saying this, Youshu waited for everyone's opinion.
While Tomoki was waiting for everyone to express their opinions, Uchiha Itachi, who was kicked out of the clan meeting by Tomoki, also came to the Hokage's office.
At this time, Itachi reported the previous situation in detail to the Third Hokage.
After listening to Itachi's description, Sarutobi Hiruzen guessed that Tomoki would be the key to this clan meeting. Unfortunately, it is unknown how the situation will develop subsequently.
At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen also hoped that nothing would happen. He became Hokage again after the sacrifice of the Fourth Hokage, and he was different from when he was appointed Hokage in a crisis. He only hoped that everything in Konoha would not change, whether it would get better or worse, and the situation would remain the same until Konoha was handed over to the Fifth Hokage.
"I already understand the situation, Itachi. It's not your fault that I failed to complete the mission this time. Go and call Kakashi over."
Sarutobi Hiruzen did not continue to speculate on what the Uchiha clan was planning to do.
Not long after Itachi left, Kakashi arrived at the Hokage's office.
"Hokage-sama."
"Here I am, Kakashi. This is the order to transfer Uchiha Tomoki to the border of Fudo. The village has reached a resolution, and it will officially take effect tomorrow. Tomorrow, it will be handed over to Uchiha Tomoki, and he will be urged to set off for the border."
As he spoke, he picked up a scroll from the table and handed it to Kakashi.
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
-----------
Inside Nanga Shrine.
Youshu didn't have to wait too long, as the tribesmen generally expressed their support for the reforms of the elders.
After all, most of the tribesmen have neither ill feelings nor good feelings towards the elders. If the patriarch thinks they are not needed, then so be it.
Although the old man of the Youshu family felt a little uncomfortable that his grandson was the first to target them after becoming the patriarch, he was also somewhat relieved to see that his grandson got into the game so quickly. It could be said that he had mixed feelings.
After exchanging glances with the two old friends for a moment.
"Youshu, since you think we old guys are a nuisance to you, then we should have some self-awareness. Anyway, the family will be handed over to you in the future. You are really old, it seems that you need to prepare a coffin when you go back!"
In the end, Uchiha Hiko expressed his support with his two companions.
"How could that be, Grandpa? Even if you are no longer elders, you are still the family's advisors. The family's future still needs you and the other elders to worry about it."
Seeing that his old man clearly supported him, but his sarcastic words still made him feel a little unhappy, Youshu hurriedly tried to comfort him.
"Consultant? Humph! Don't think I don't know what a consultant is. Forget it, forget it. Don't say it anymore. Just do your best, Youshu!"
Uchiha Hiko is not so easily fooled. He must know what a consultant is. Konoha has two good examples. Simply put, they are trolls who rush to troll when something happens. As for whether they are useful or not, that depends on one's opinion.
Then Uchiha Kiyoshi from the Shisui family chose to support him and became the new family advisor.
There were only two left, and Uchiha Youshu turned his gaze to Uchiha Da and Uchiha Mon.
After seeing that the situation was very clear, Da, who had always been a fence-sitter, wanted to agree, but the door next to him held him back.
"Da, I can't agree to this. Wasn't the lesson we learned from Madara enough? We can't put all our hopes on that Tomoki kid. If something goes wrong, the power we have can still serve as a way out."
Uchiha Men tried his best to persuade Da beside him.
Youshu naturally heard these words clearly. He also knew that both methods had their advantages and disadvantages, but under the current circumstances, he did not want any different voices from his in the tribe.
Besides him, no one at the scene knew that the Uchiha clan was just a strong exterior but weak inside.
This can be seen from the original work that Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Obito were able to wipe out the Uchiha clan.
At that time, Fugaku accepted his death without resistance for the sake of Itachi and Sasuke, but the six elders in the clan still had their own power, but it was useless.
From this we can see that the best way now is to concentrate all the strength. Youshu has no intention of explaining to them, and it is just fine if they don't accept it. What Youshu needs is an opportunity to make an example of someone to scare the monkeys.
Not long after, Uchiha Tatsu finally chose to support, and the only one left was Uchiha Men.
"Uchiha clan, you chose not to accept my first order as clan leader? Didn't you see that even your own jonin chose to support me?"
Youshu stared at the Uchiha clan with captivating eyes and asked.
"Hmph! I never fully agree with you becoming the clan leader. The ninjas under my command support you now, but I can continue to train the younger generation after I return. The fate of the clan cannot be completely placed on one person. The Uchiha clan has paid the price for this."
The Uchihamon retorted.
Youshu admitted that what he said made sense, but the head follows the butt. Whether the Uchiha clan disagreed with him becoming the clan leader or tried to retain their own ninja power, it was an obstacle for him to completely control the Uchiha clan.
Whether he was doing this out of selfish motives or sincerely caring about the Uchiha clan, Tomoki didn't care. What he cared about was that if someone tried to question him now, he would not give them a fierce blow.
Then there will still be people who continue to defy his will. Even though he has taken back most of the elders' power, the situation has not changed from the Fugaku period.
When Fugaku was in the family, the doves and hawks were fighting each other, and as the patriarch, Fugaku devoted almost all his energy to balancing the internal situation of the family.
After Youshu became the patriarch, the village targeted and oppressed him more because of his usual behavior, in order to face the ups and downs from the outside.
Youshu doesn't want to spend all his energy on maintaining balance within the clan. The clan only needs to act according to his will. There is no need for so many ideas or voices.
"I'll ask you one last time, Uchiha, are you sure you don't want to give up your authority as an elder?"
"That's right, the family no longer has the capital to make more mistakes." Uchiha replied.
Since you want to die, then it will be as you wish.
Youshu said in a very cold tone, "Naoto, Xuanyue and Ryusuke, listen to my orders!"
He didn't call Shisui, knowing Shisui's character, he probably wouldn't turn his butcher knife on his clan members, so he chose Naoto and Gengetsu. As for Ryusuke, he was a ninja force in the hands of the Uchiha clan, but he chose to support him, so Tomoki wanted to see how far this support would go.
Uchiha Tomoki doesn't care whether he chooses to take action or to just sit back and do nothing. He knows that everyone has their value, it just depends on where they are placed.
Of course, Tomoki still expected him to take action. There were too many ninjas in the family who valued feelings, but there were not many ruthless people like Itachi who dared to draw a knife at their parents. Tomoki was very envious of this. He also hoped to have such a ruthless person under his command, of course, the premise was that he put the family first.
"The Uchiha Clan is attempting to split the Uchiha Clan. This is a blatant act of betrayal. I will now strip the Uchiha Clan of their membership and remove them from the family tree. Now, I order the three of you to behead this traitor. Execute immediately!"
"Yes, Patriarch" ×3.
All three chose to obey orders. There was nothing much to say. It was easy for three elite jonin in the family to deal with an old man who was about to be buried.
What made Uchiha Tomoki happy was that it was Ryusuke who finally chopped off the head of Uchiha Men.
His behavior made the tribesmen around him feel a little disgusted, and even Zhiren and Xuanyue, who had joined in the attack, quietly distanced themselves from him.
But Youshu was very happy in his heart. This kind of ruthless person must be reused, and reused greatly!
