Konoha: I, Uchiha, just want to die.

Chapter 446: Furious Fugaku, arguing with people online!

"What!?"

On the field, everyone was dumbfounded when they heard this firm and angry voice of opposition coming from Uchiha Fugaku, who was standing in the center hall with his Mangekyō Sharingan activated.

Even at this moment, Uchiha Madara, who was standing on the roof of Nanga Shrine, blending into the shadows with the Mayfly Technique and silently watching the scene in Nanga Shrine, raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Oh?"

"This is the little fellow named Uchiha Fugaku on the list."

"A guy like this actually has the talent to open his eyes?"

He frowned slightly, looked at Uchiha Fugaku who was standing upright below, and glanced at the information about the other party recorded on the list. Uchiha Madara frowned immediately.

And at this moment,
In the shrine, Uchiha Shin, who was sitting in the front row of the tribesmen attending the meeting, stood up suddenly, stared at Uchiha Fugaku, and asked in a deep voice,
"Brother Fugaku?"

"Do you understand what you are saying?!"

"What makes you oppose Uchiha Ci's succession to the position of clan leader!?"

"It's very simple." Uchiha Fugaku replied coldly without even raising his eyebrows.

"Because I don't deserve it!"

"what?"

Hearing Uchiha Fugaku's answer, almost everyone present was so angry that they laughed. Uchiha Shinichi, who was in the lead, suddenly became distraught and opened a pair of scarlet and cold three-magatama Sharingan!

Before he could speak, the other man stood up and shouted angrily:

"Uchiha Ci is unworthy, so what makes you worthy? Based on your performance in the Land of Hot Springs, or based on your face that was swollen after being beaten by Seiichiro!"

This person was the one who had followed Uchiha Fugaku to the Land of Hot Springs to provide assistance and had witnessed Uchiha Fugaku's terrible behavior in the Evil God Cult. He was the Uchiha member who always made fun of Uchiha Ciguang's ignorant brothel. But no one would have thought that this person would be the most excited at this moment.

"How can you, Uchiha Fugaku, have the nerve to say such things?"

"You are a weakling who can only curry favor with the Konoha high-ranking officials and beg for peace. How can a guy like you have the confidence to say that the brat is unworthy?!"

"Don't you think that with eyes like these, you can put your will above all of us?"

"No." Uchiha Fugaku did not seem angry, but looked down at everyone present with his Mangekyō Sharingan open indifferently, and said lightly,

"You may have misunderstood my meaning. I am not saying that Uchiha Ci is unworthy of being the clan leader. In fact, it is more than enough for that brat to become the clan leader. It would not be too difficult for him to even become the Fourth Hokage."

"Based on that brat's achievements and strength, he is more qualified than anyone else!"

"And I am saying—"

Uchiha Fugaku scanned the faces of the people present one by one, and soon a sarcastic expression appeared on his face.

He sneered:

"You don't deserve it!"

"You are not worthy of Uchiha Ci becoming the patriarch of the Uchiha clan. Compared to him, you are like maggots in the dung pit in the corner of the sheepfold. You are not even qualified to be sheep or food. How can you be worthy of following a truly arrogant wolf king?"

"What did you say!?"

Hearing this, everyone present suddenly looked gloomy.

Pairs of scarlet eyes suddenly opened, lit up, and glared at Uchiha Fugaku!

When Uchiha Fugaku saw this scene, his heart trembled, knowing that the highlight was finally coming -

After several reincarnations, Fugaku finally figured out Uchiha Madara's ultimate goal by summarizing the logic of Uchiha Madara's actions.
That is, by killing people who are important to Uchiha Ci, Uchiha Ci can open the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Uchiha Fugaku's purpose is to save a group of clan members in this clan meeting that exposes everyone's attitude towards Uchiha Ci.

But
In a short period of time, even if he has the Mangekyō Sharingan, Fugaku cannot change the will of any of his clansmen. In other words, persuasion is ineffective and will expose himself, leading to his death at the hands of Uchiha Madara. The only remaining option is confrontation!
Under the nose of Uchiha Madara, a covert, confusing and sophistry operation was completed!
At this moment, seeing that everyone's emotions were aroused, Uchiha Fugaku immediately struck while the iron was hot, angrily opened his pair of Mangekyō Sharingan wide, and looked around at everyone.
"how?"

"Is there something wrong with what I said?"

He turned his head suddenly and glared coldly at Uchiha Shinichi.

"You, Uchiha Shinichi, what is your purpose in wanting Uchiha Ci to become the clan leader?"

"Do you really approve of this kid you've only met a few times? Or do you really want the benefits that Uchiha Ci can bring you after he becomes the clan leader?"

Fugaku then looked up at everyone with contempt and sneered,

"And you, Uchiha Yaowei, and everyone sitting here, many of you have never even seen Uchiha Ci once."

"Ask yourselves, do you really want Uchiha Ci to become the clan leader, or -"

"Are you coveting the glory that the strongest person in the ninja world can bring you after becoming the leader of a clan!?"

"You Fugaku, you're going too far!"

Uchiha Shinichi couldn't help but tremble, his face turned red and white, and the veins on his forehead emerged.
"Back then on the battlefield of the Rain Country, I was..."

"You mean, on the battlefield of the Rain Country, you were dragged back from a mission that was sure to lead to your death. How can such an Uchiha Ci not be recognized?"

Uchiha Fugaku interrupted him with a sneer.

"Listen, the weak admire the strong, that's a constant."

"But this is not an excuse for a bunch of trash and rubbish to cling to the rich and powerful by relying on their so-called blood relationship!"

Fugaku looked at everyone with disdain, and then asked with an extremely confident tone:
"Just like Uchiha Madara back then, you betrayed him because you coveted the peace he brought. Now, how can I not doubt that you will betray Uchiha Madara like you did back then?"

"Betray Uchiha Ci?!"

"When Uchiha Ci became the clan leader, when he gave you what you wanted, when your vanity was satisfied, when your arrogance reached its peak—"

"What choices would you make in the same predicament as more than 40 years ago?"

"You don't deserve it!"

"Do you understand? You have never given Uchiha Ci any substantial help in his growth, stood by him, or helped him endure any hardships!"

"He has been fighting alone all this time!"

Uchiha Fugaku shouted coldly:

"Since you have never shared the joys and sorrows with him and walked side by side with him, then don't covet the honor that doesn't belong to you!"

"Because you don't deserve it!"

The cold words stabbed deeply into the hearts of everyone present like a knife.

Yes,

As powerful as Uchiha Madara back then,

As powerful as Uchiha Ci now.

But the Uchiha clan still betrayed the previous clan leader because they were greedy for the current peace!

This moment is just like that moment,
Fugaku's words made everyone present think of this question with extremely ugly faces.
Their actions so far,
Really, is Uchiha Ci worthy of becoming the patriarch of this clan?
And thinking of this,
Everyone's eyes were focused on Uchiha Setsuna, who was sitting at the head of the hall.
