I will traverse countless worlds and become a god entirely on my own!

Having discussed the security forces issue, let's move on to the second problem: external issues affecting the Uchiha clan. This is the most pressing and urgent issue that must be addressed!

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 7: Patriarch, Step Down! (Please read further and vote with monthly tickets and recommendations)

Bai Ye was pondering this, having just finished explaining the current problems with the security team.

Now we can talk about the issues between Konoha and the Uchiha clan.

"The fundamental reason between the Uchiha and Konoha is not the conflict between us. You have been misunderstanding the point of conflict all along."

Bai Ye pondered for a moment, then slowly expressed his opinion.

"So, you also think we can't rebel, right?"

Uchiha Tetsuya's face lit up with joy; this was clearly the mindset of their conservative faction.

It seems that Bai Ye really thought the same way I did. He truly deserves to be the good kid I admire.

Uchiha Setsuna, who was standing to the side, was also somewhat displeased.

Wasn't this guy's statement just now leaning towards the radical camp?

Why are you suddenly saying this again?

"No, perhaps I didn't express myself fully. What I meant was that our enemy is not all the ninjas in Konoha, but the elders led by Hiruzen Sarutobi and their forces."

As for the other ninja clans in Konoha, and those who don't take sides, there's absolutely no need for us to antagonize them. Even if we need to retaliate later, it should be against Hiruzen Sarutobi and his group, not against the entire Konoha village!

In Bai Ye's view, if the target were changed from the entire Hidden Leaf Village to the Hokage's faction, the pressure would naturally be much less.

The Uchiha clan had always talked about rebelling, but this rebellion was not just about dealing with Hiruzen Sarutobi and his group, but about the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

But if it's just about dealing with Hiruzen Sarutobi and his group, not the entire Hidden Leaf Village, then there's no need to make so many enemies.

In Konoha, there are people who are dissatisfied with Hiruzen Sarutobi; at least for now, the Hyuga clan is lukewarm towards the Hokage lineage.

Otherwise, how could we not have seen many Hyuga ninjas during the Konoha Crush plan?

As the largest ninja clan in Konoha at the time, the Hyuga clan did not participate much in the war. Wasn't this a sign of their dissatisfaction with Hiruzen Sarutobi?

Especially now, not long after Hyuga Hizashi was handed over.

Even if Hiashi Hyuga didn't say it, he would always remember it in his heart.

"That's right, Bai Ye is right. We're going to overthrow Hiruzen Sarutobi, not fight against the entire Hidden Leaf Village. We're just going to take back what originally belonged to our Uchiha clan!"

Uchiha Setsuna, who had been wearing a stern expression, suddenly broke into a wide smile, clearly very satisfied with Byakuya's subsequent remarks.

After all, in his view, if they were not aggressive towards external forces, the Uchiha clan would only be slowly worn down.

"Bai Ye, are you planning a rebellion?"

Fugaku Uchiha's heart sank; this was not a good idea.

"This is just self-defense. Do you think that even if we do nothing, they will let us go? Aren't you being a little too naive? Danzo has been targeting the Uchiha clan all these years, but without the Hokage's tacit approval, Danzo would never have been so arrogant."

"So, in the end, Hiruzen Sarutobi also didn't want our Uchiha clan to become too powerful. This is also due to the policies that the Second Hokage continued, which are still being used by them now."

"It's not that we didn't consider this outcome, but what was the final result? In the Second Shinobi World War and the Third Shinobi World War, our Uchiha clan paid the most, but we didn't get much credit. All the credit went to the Sannin and Minato Namikaze."

"During the Nine-Tails' attack, we did nothing wrong, yet we were relegated to a corner of the village, surrounded by other ninja clans and ANBU under surveillance. Chief Fugaku, look at those ninja clans around us. Doesn't it look like they'd attack us the moment we rebelled? Under these circumstances, they're still forcing us to rebel. Do you think you had a choice?"

In Byakuya's opinion, Fugaku Uchiha was far too naive.

Even though things had clearly reached an irreversible point, he still naively fantasized about improving the relationship between Konoha and the Uchiha clan through other means.

Ultimately, it's not that the Uchiha clan can't integrate into Konoha, but rather that the other side simply doesn't want to see them integrate.

Then, taking advantage of Fugaku's silence, Byakuya continued, "Furthermore, I have one last thing to say. Chief Fugaku, I believe you are no longer suitable to continue as the Uchiha clan chief. Your indecisive nature will ultimately lead the Uchiha clan to its destruction!!!"

That's right! !

The last thing Byakuya wanted to say was to force Fugaku Uchiha to step down.

Only if Fugaku Uchiha steps down can he make changes, and at this crucial juncture, alter the plot, and perhaps even have a chance to win a prize.

Therefore, no matter what, the first thing Byakuya needs to do is become the head of the Uchiha clan.

"What!!?"

Before Fugaku could react, the surrounding Uchiha members were all stunned.

Although they had been arguing, they had never thought of crippling Fugaku. However, after Byakuya brought it up, Uchiha Setsuna was instantly tempted.

He genuinely believed that Fugaku was too weak. Now, when facing Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others, he was simply unable to secure any benefits for the Uchiha clan and was even being suppressed at every turn.

Faced with all this, Fugaku couldn't find a solution.

But Bai Ye was different. Judging from the solutions Bai Ye had just given him, he saw hope.

Rather than waiting to die like this, we might as well take a gamble.

"Bai Ye, do you know what you're saying?"

Fugaku realized what was happening, his expression changed, and his gaze towards Bai Ye was filled with danger. Clearly, he hadn't expected Bai Ye's thoughts to be so dangerous.

He not only wanted to lead the Uchiha clan in rebellion, but also wanted to remove himself from the position of clan leader.

"I've thought it through very clearly. Clan leader, please step down. Compromise now will never bring peace to the Uchiha clan. You either have to lead the Uchiha clan and leave Konoha directly, or lead the Uchiha clan to fight against Hiruzen Sarutobi and others in all aspects except for martial arts and gain the upper hand. But you don't have the courage to do either of those things, so you are no longer suitable to be the clan leader of the Uchiha clan!"

Firstly, taking the Uchiha clan with him is probably not feasible, since even Madara Uchiha couldn't take the Uchiha clan with him back then, so it's naturally impossible for Fugaku Uchiha to do so now.

As for the second one, Fugaku could have done it, but he lacked the courage. He had the kaleidoscope, but in the end, he chose to wait for death.

Bai Ye didn't know how to understand the other person anymore. You want to die, but many Uchiha clan members don't want to die. Why do you have to take others with you to die?

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 8: Becoming the New Clan Chief! (Please read further and vote with monthly tickets and recommendations)

Ultimately, the Uchiha Clan Massacre was Fugaku Uchiha's compromise, leading the Uchiha clan to their deaths, and then Itachi Uchiha annihilated the entire clan for Sasuke's sake.

Selfish?

Have you asked the other members of the Uchiha clan if they are willing to die?

When Itachi raised his sword and pointed it at them, they clearly didn't want to die.

Therefore, Fugaku was not a qualified clan leader, at least in this respect, as he condoned his son's massacre of the Uchiha clan.

Even though Fugaku Uchiha possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan, if he had intervened, along with other elite ninjas from the Uchiha clan, Itachi would have been impossible for him to succeed.

Although he was attacked by Obito, the Anbu, and the Root later on, at least he didn't die such a pathetic death.

"Do you really think you can lead the Uchiha clan out of this predicament just because you've taken over?"

Fugaku Uchiha calmed down and looked at Byakuya. He didn't rush to refute, but asked Byakuya if he was so confident that he could solve the Uchiha clan's problem.

"It has to be better than it is now. Whether you're a conservative or a neutral party, if you can't unite everyone's strength, you'll only end up perishing. We should be tough when we need to be tough, and conservative when we need to be conservative, instead of being tough or conservative indiscriminately!"

"it is good!"

The centrist elder, Uchiha Jin, clapped his hands in approval.

This is what the centrists want to express. Although they have been trying to smooth things over, they only see that both the conservatives and the radicals are too extreme, and both sides are acting in different extremes.

To avoid this situation, they naturally had no choice but to mediate.

The idea that Bai Ye is proposing is exactly what they want: to be tough when necessary and conservative when appropriate.

So, what are your thoughts?

Uchiha Setsuna and Uchiha Tetsuya were unusually quiet and didn't argue.

Instead, they handed over the right to speak on this matter to Bai Ye.

"Actually, this is a very general statement. In short, you can't always compromise like Chief Fugaku, nor can you always be too aggressive. Do you throw out your royal flush at the start of a card game?"

Compared to the Uchiha clan, Konoha was testing the Uchiha clan's attitude at this time.

They will slowly probe the enemy's strength, and then, once they are certain that it is safe to act, they will take action against the Uchiha clan.

"I also think that Fugaku should step down today. Although I know it's a hasty decision, I feel that if you continue to stay in this position, it will only bring annihilation to the Uchiha clan."

Uchiha Setsuna raised his head to look at Uchiha Fugaku, even though it was absurd to make Byakuya the clan leader.

But at least it's better than Fugaku Uchiha.

Uchiha Setsuna saw no hope in Uchiha Fugaku.

"Although I don't entirely agree, what Bai Ye said earlier really suited my taste."

Uchiha Jin also expressed his opinion.

In the end, only Uchiha Tetsuya still hesitated.

"If I don't perform well, I can step down at any time!"

Bai Ye added a final incentive: if he didn't perform well, he could step down. Ultimately, the Uchiha clan's leadership wasn't entirely determined by the clan head.

The elders of the three factions also held real power.

Originally, they were just fighting amongst themselves because they couldn't agree on something, so they hadn't paid any attention to Uchiha Fugaku.

But after what Bai Ye said, the others realized that if things continued like this, wouldn't Fugaku Uchiha be completely useless in his position as clan leader?

In the clashes with Konoha, he gained no advantage whatsoever, and even the conservatives secretly suspected that Fugaku might be a Konoha spy.

"How did my meeting turn into my abdication ceremony?"

Looking at the gazes of the crowd below, Fugaku Uchiha knew perfectly well that he had no choice but to abdicate today.

The position of clan leader is elected from within the Uchiha clan, and naturally, it can be overthrown.

A bitter smile flashed across his face. Over the years, he had considered himself to have worked hard for the Uchiha clan, but the results of his efforts did not seem to be what he wanted.

"If you can do a good job, I naturally won't occupy the position of clan leader!"

Although Fugaku Uchiha was weak, he himself wanted the Uchiha clan to move in a positive direction.

Since Bai Ye is willing to accept everyone's supervision and can step down at any time, he will not occupy this position.

If Bai Ye, who just went up, doesn't achieve any results, he'll be brought down soon.
