Naruto: Starting with Tsunade

Chapter 356 The Mangekyou Sharingan Shocks the Clan

Nanga Shrine.

Almost as soon as he opened the door, Aokiji noticed that everyone present was looking at him with intense anticipation in their eyes.

"Hmph, I've arrived just in time."

Aokiji chuckled twice, easing the tense atmosphere.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, he slowly stepped onto the stairs.

Fugaku's gaze seemed to say, "Why did it take you so long? Everyone's been waiting for you."

Aokiji shrugged, as if to say that the protagonist always appears last, right?

Fugaku, feeling rather helpless, stepped back and gave Aokiji the opportunity to speak.

Today, he is the main character.

Aokiji slowly scanned the crowd. Today's gathering would determine the future fate of the Uchiha clan, and all the Uchiha who were qualified to participate were present.

Soon, he noticed a figure sitting quietly in the corner, looking up at everything on the stage.

Itachi, you've been sent by the village to monitor the Uchiha clan and me, haven't you?

Hmph... I'll play along with you guys then.

Aokiji shifted his gaze from Itachi to the others, remained silent for a moment, and then got to the point: "I have already learned everything about what happened to the Uchiha clan through Fugaku. I won't waste time with pleasantries; I'll just give you my thoughts on the matter."

Upon hearing this, everyone present composed themselves and held their breath, awaiting the result.

In a rather inconspicuous corner, Itachi, along with the others, held his breath and quietly awaited Aokiji's announcement of the results.

Aokiji said in a deep voice, "I disagree with the matter of the coup..."

call……

The weight that had been hanging over Itachi's heart finally lifted.

If Aokiji disagrees, he can completely suppress him with his strength and status.

While some people are happy, others are unhappy, and this unhappiness affects almost everyone.

"Lord Aokiji, please reconsider."

"Lord Aokiji..."

"Lord Aokiji..."

Led by the Eighth Hokage, the Uchiha members jointly opposed the move, hoping to force Aokiji to retract his earlier statement.

In addition, they also cast glances at Fugaku:

"Captain, please try to persuade Lord Aokiji..."

"team leader……"

"team leader……"

The Uchiha clan members thought that Aokiji had returned to stand up for them, but to their surprise, he opposed them.

Fugaku paused for a moment, then said, "I support Aokiji's decision..."

"How come even the captain..."

In order to launch a coup, everyone was even prepared to fight to the death. But what happened was that the two leading leaders surrendered directly, which was unacceptable to them no matter what.

Some of the younger Uchiha members, being young and impetuous, immediately refused to comply.

They glared at Aokiji with resentment: "What legendary ninja? I think he's just a coward."

If Aokiji hadn't shown up, everyone might have already successfully launched a coup, and there would be no need for us to be holding this meeting here.

Fugaku's eyes turned red as he coldly stared at the group of young Uchiha clansmen who had spoken so rudely: "Watch your mouth."

"team leader……"

Under the gaze of those infamous "fierce eyes," the men, their heads throbbing and losing their composure, trembled, their minds quickly cooling, and they reluctantly sat down.

Seeing his subordinates obediently sit down, Fugaku sighed inwardly and glanced at them, hoping they would show their true attitude.

He could only temporarily suppress the discontent of his clansmen by using his position as clan leader.

The clansmen, who had been suppressed by the village for a long time, had accumulated a lot of resentment in their hearts. If it was not channeled out, it would eventually erupt, and by then, things would be beyond repair.

Someone in the crowd clenched their fist and pounded the floor, angrily questioning Aokiji: "Are we supposed to keep putting up with this forever?"

"It's not the right time yet," Aokiji said calmly. "Trust me, I will give everyone a satisfactory answer."

"Believe? That's easy for you to say. What makes you think we'll believe you? More accurately, how can you expect the village to believe us?"

"We have always loved and trusted the village, and we are willing to give our precious lives for the prosperity and peace of the village without hesitation."

"All we want is to be treated fairly, just as the village loves us."

"But as a result, the village is always on guard against us. Just like last time during the Nine-Tails Night, we wanted to step forward to stop them, but the village was afraid that we would take the opportunity to control the Nine-Tails. We acted according to the village's instructions and evacuated the people, but we were still met with distrust."

At this point, some of the Uchiha members, driven to the brink of despair, slowly shed tears, while others shouted out loud, releasing years of pent-up emotions: "Tell me! How can we trust a village like this?"

Aokiji was also a proper Uchiha clansman, and he understood this very well. He slowly closed his eyes, remained silent for a while, and then opened them again. Crimson snowflake-shaped patterns appeared on his upturned eyelids.

"Just look at my eyes..."

Aokiji raised his arm, clenched it tightly towards the void, and uttered a deep vow.

"This, this is..."

Those who were watching Aokiji were surprised to notice the strange change in his eyes, and their pupils suddenly dilated in shock.

Red, with a more intricate pattern than the three-comma jewel.

The only pair of eyes with this eye pattern recorded in the Uchiha clan are those two.

Kaleidoscope Sharingan...

The weasel stared intently at the snowflake-shaped eyes, muttering to itself.

"That's right, this is the most revered eye technique of the Uchiha clan, the Mangekyou Sharingan."

Aokiji responded loudly to everyone's expectations and displayed his eye technique for the first time in front of them.

Blue flames surged behind his body, burning fiercely and coalescing into a blue creature with half a body.

With a bunch of tentacles on its head, arms as thick as crab claws, and sharp fingers spread out, its palms pressed down on both sides behind Aokiji, exuding an aura of dominance and unparalleled astonishing power.

The tribesmen who had been ravaged by this creature last time immediately exclaimed in shock: "It was during that time..."

"This is the eye technique of my Mangekyou Sharingan, Soul Flame."

Aokiji spoke casually, offering only a brief introduction.

The words had barely left his lips when, like a bomb dropped into a crowd, a commotion erupted and a violent uproar ensued.

"The Mangekyou Sharingan, it's actually the legendary Mangekyou Sharingan."

"So many years have passed, so many years have gone by. I always thought it was just a legend, but I never imagined I would see it with my own eyes today."

"Haha, with this force, a successful coup will be within our grasp."

Since Madara Uchiha, the Uchiha clan has not produced anyone with these eyes for many years.

These eyes are not only a symbol of strength, but also have a special meaning.

"I'm so sorry, Lord Aokiji..."

Those young clansmen who had just been arguing with Aokiji suddenly changed their gaze towards him. Their initial dissatisfaction instantly turned into intense admiration. They promptly knelt down and apologized, their buttocks pressed against their calves and their heads touching the ground. The more defiant they had been when they argued with Aokiji, the more humble they became.

Aokiji waved his hand dismissively, saying that a magnanimous person would not hold a grudge against a petty person.

After demonstrating his Mangekyou Sharingan, Aokiji easily suppressed the Uchiha clan's desire to immediately launch a coup.

"You can all disperse now. I will give you a reasonable explanation when we meet again next time."

After dismissing everyone, Aokiji noticed that Yashiro didn't immediately leave with the others, but lingered nearby for a while, his mouth slightly open, as if he had something to say.

This caught Aokiji's attention, and he stepped forward to ask, "What's wrong, Yashiro? Do you have anything else to say?"
