Chapter 43 I support Bai Mu becoming the new clan leader!
"Chieftain, we swear to follow you to the death!"
Uchiha Mina was the first to take the lead, followed by Uchiha Inahisa and the others. These members of the White Flame Society all offered their loyalty at this moment.
No need for further words, I offer my loyalty.
With the core members of the White Flame Society cheering them on, more and more Uchiha clan members joined in and began to support Bai Mu as their clan leader.
As for the Uchiha clan, strength is what matters, and Bai Mu's strength is undeniable. Moreover, his achievements in leading his team to defeat the main force of Kirigakure and killing the Third Hokage are all real accomplishments.
It's important to understand that Tsunade would never lie or show favoritism towards the Uchiha clan. Since everyone said it was true, it must be true. Even if she didn't witness it firsthand, the defeat of Fugaku, the head of the Uchiha clan, was a fact that happened right in front of everyone.
Although Fugaku seemed to still have energy left, the elite Uchiha ninjas present could clearly see the actual situation on the ground.
Fugaku Uchiha suffered repeated defeats, being completely outmatched in taijutsu, ninjutsu, and genjutsu. His defeats in genjutsu, in particular, were witnessed by everyone.
What is the pride of the Uchiha clan?
The Sharingan... and when it comes to the Sharingan, Fugaku Uchiha was completely outmatched by Hakuba, suffering a crushing defeat. So, for most members of the Uchiha clan, what should they choose?
Uchiha Hakumu!
nothing to say.
The strong are respected; this is the law of the Uchiha clan, and indeed, the law of the ninja world.
As more and more clansmen join and pledge their loyalty to Hakubaki, Uchiha Yakumi, Uchiha Owl, and other die-hard loyalists of Uchiha Fugaku are at a great loss. How can they stop this?
There are only a dozen or so people left around him. How can he possibly fight against so many of his clansmen?
Of course, if he returned to the village, there would definitely still be people in the clan who supported Uchiha Fugaku.
The clan elders couldn't simply let things develop this way.
But now we're out here, and nobody's supporting us anymore.
Are they really going to take action?
Uchiha Yakumi and the others hesitated.
Furthermore, Fugaku, the clan head, has been inactive for some time now. What can they possibly do? And whatever they are going to do, at the very least, Fugaku Uchiha cannot remain inactive.
You're the clan leader, and now someone's rebelling against you, demanding your resignation...
Shouldn't you maintain a strong stance?
If you had been more assertive, we wouldn't be stuck in a rut, unable to do anything but remain silent. It's all because of your inaction.
Uchiha Mirai and Uchiha Owl both complained about this, harboring considerable resentment, believing it was because Uchiha Fugaku, the clan head, was unable to maintain a firm stance.
If you take a tougher stance, do you think your tribe will oppose you?
Bai Mu won't succeed.
People still support you.
But what are the prerequisites?
It's your turn to stand up.
Bai Mu noticed the reactions of Uchiha Yakumi and the others, so he immediately looked at the three of them, smiled slightly, and asked, "Are you not convinced?"
"Dissatisfied!"
Uchiha Owl immediately replied.
He was naturally unconvinced, so he decisively chose to respond to Bai Mu's question.
Didn't you want to ask?
Fine, I'll be frank, I just don't accept it.
"Disagree? That's a good answer. Then listen to despair." Bai Mu's Sharingan swirled silently, carrying a cold glint in his eyes, and the genjutsu was already activated.
One glance, and I was instantly captivated!
Uchiha Yakumi, Uchiha Owl, and Uchiha Mirai were taken down by Bai Mu with a single glance before they even had a chance to react.
Without any warning, without any ability to resist, we could not see what the three of them were doing; all we could see were their falling figures.
Bai Mu's display of his terrifying strength once again showed the Uchiha clan what true power is.
Despite both possessing the three-tomoe Sharingan, Uchiha Yakumi and the others were completely unable to withstand the attacks from Bai Mu.
This scene truly showed the elite Uchiha ninjas the terrifying strength of Hakumu.
Of course, Uchiha Yatsuhoku seemed to be deep in thought. He felt that Bai Mu's power was really a bit abnormal, and that this Sharingan was not right at all.
Could it be the legendary Mangekyou Sharingan?
The Eighth Hokage of Uchiha had already considered this possibility.
If it's not a kaleidoscope, then it really doesn't make sense.
No matter how powerful Bai Mu is, it's impossible for him to defeat Uchiha Fugaku so easily, and then take down Uchiha Yakumi and the others, all in one glance. What level of genjutsu is this?
Even the strongest Sharingan with three tomoe couldn't possibly possess such power; this is simply too exaggerated.
Then it can only be said that only the Mangekyou Sharingan can do it.
And if we're talking about kaleidoscopes...
Hmm, that makes much more sense.
Ordinary Sharingan couldn't possibly be that outrageous. Even with the strongest eye power, it's impossible to take down three other Sharingan users with the same three-tomoe Sharingan with a single glance. That's just too outrageous.
Therefore, the only explanation that the Eighth Hokage could think of was that Bai Mu had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan. Only this would make sense. No wonder the Fugaku clan leader didn't make any moves after losing the genjutsu battle. He had obviously realized that Bai Mu had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan and knew that he couldn't beat him, so he chose to give up. This was a reasonable course of action.
If Bai Mu had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, then it would be perfectly reasonable for him to become the clan leader.
The Eighth Hokage was well aware of the terrifying power of the Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan.
Although he did not, and did not witness it with his own eyes.
However, the clan records are very clear.
Moreover, what about the power that Bai Mu is showing now? Is it the clan leader, Uchiha Fugaku? His strength is absolutely unquestionable, but he was defeated in the battle against Bai Mu. What will happen to the three elite ninjas who have awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan: Uchiha Yakumi, Uchiha Owl, and Uchiha Mirai?
One glance, just one glance, and he was taken down.
If this doesn't prove the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan, then the Eighth Hokage of Uchiha is not a qualified Uchiha, because this is the supreme power of the Uchiha...
The Mangekyou Sharingan is something every Uchiha clan member should be happy about.
"I support Bai Mu becoming the new chieftain!"
The eighth generation spoke up, and he chose to support them.
Uchiha Hachimoku was one of the most powerful captains in the Security Forces, commanding the Second Battalion. His position was second only to Uchiha Yakumi, but within the clan, he held a slightly higher position than Yakumi.
Therefore, when the Eighth Hokage of Uchiha spoke up, and even supported Bai Mu, the situation changed completely.
Aside from the three Uchiha members who had collapsed, almost all the Uchiha clan members in the camp supported Hakumu's ascension to the position of new clan leader.
Uchiha Yatsuho looked at Uchiha Fugaku, who was standing there silently with bloodshot eyes, and said softly, "Fugaku, there's no other way. It seems that Hakubaki is more suitable to be the clan leader than you. You can only step down and give way to a more capable person."
Seeing this, Fugaku Uchiha could only sigh inwardly, knowing that there was no way to change the current situation.
However, even if Bai Mu has successfully seized power now, what will happen once he returns to the village?
Can he suppress the voices within the clan?
The kaleidoscope is powerful, but...
The more you use it, the more it consumes.
The more he expends, the greater the risk of going blind, so Fugaku Uchiha is very worried about whether Hakubaki can pull through. Whether it's the challenges within the clan or the challenges from the village, neither of these are easy to overcome.
Bai Mu, Bai Mu, can you really do it?
Fugaku Uchiha was afraid of this.
Once your eyesight fails...
Then they lost their power.
If you gain something through power, can you still possess it once you lose that power? This is what worries Fugaku Uchiha.
However, Fugaku Uchiha also knew that it would be useless for him to say anything now. Moreover, he could not directly lecture Hakumoku, because there were not only Uchiha ninjas in the camp, but also ninjas from the village.
The Hyuga, Nara, and other ninja clans aren't all dead. If these people find out that Bai Mu has awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, wouldn't that be the same as the village's higher-ups knowing?
You can't guarantee that the secret won't be leaked, so Fugaku Uchiha couldn't say anything, especially since he had hardly anyone supporting him anymore.
Didn't you see that even the Eighth Hokage sided with Bai Mu?
Realizing he was powerless to change the situation, Fugaku Uchiha had no choice but to accept it for the sake of the bigger picture. Besides, he had no power to stop it, so what else could he do but accept it?
There's nothing I can do, there's really nothing I can do.
"Eighth Hokage, since this is your choice, then from this day forward I am no longer the head of the Uchiha clan. The new head is Hakubaki..."
Fugaku Uchiha accepted everything calmly, stating that he had officially stepped down as the head of the Uchiha clan. But what did the clan elders and the remaining elites mean?
Then let's see what Uchiha Hakumaki is capable of.
After a brief pause, he said to Bai Mu, "Bai Mu, I'm entrusting the clan to you. But what do the elders and the clan members who stayed behind mean? That's up to you."
“No one will object, and if they do, they will give up. Moreover, from now on, there will only be one voice in the Uchiha clan, and that is me,” Bai Mu said calmly.
A single voice?
Bai Mu, you are really arrogant.
Fugaku Uchiha had nothing to say, he could only sigh inwardly, hoping that everything was still in time. He could see that the future of the Uchiha clan had changed to some extent.
All of this was indeed brought about by Bai Mu, but it's not enough yet, because we haven't seen enough.
He could foresee that the Uchiha clan would face a major crisis in the future.
