Naruto: The True Story

"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 possessed the Mangekyō Sharingan, Fugaku would not be able to change the will of any of his clan members. In other words, persuasion would be ineffective and would instead expose himself, leading to his death at the hands of Uchiha Madara.

Then 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.

Chapter 446 Uchiha’s second choice!

if we assume,

Did the Uchiha clan actually help Uchiha Ci in the few short months of his growth?

In fact, there are.

Whether it was before the Battle of Jigokudani, when a large number of people from the clan went out to avenge the assassination of the young clan leader and bloodbathed the exchange offices of various countries in the ninja world, or after the Battle of Jigokudani, when the whole clan worked together to implement the plan,

Its core initiators are all the great elders, Uchiha Setsuna, who gave a lot of help to Uchiha Ci and was the first to discover Uchiha Ci and lived and died with him.

now,

Facing Uchiha Fugaku's questioning, the members of the Uchiha clan urgently need Uchiha Setsuna to step forward and acknowledge the legitimacy of their actions, to confirm that they were not doing nothing, and to prove that they were not acting for the visible benefits that would be brought about by Uchiha Ci becoming the clan leader!

In fact, everyone in the clan had a lot of disagreements when Uchiha Ci became the junior clan leader and Uchiha Fugaku was removed from the position of heir by Uchiha Setsuna. However, later, Uchiha Ci's actions conquered them.

The Hollow Dog bombarded the Senju clan's territory, faced and suppressed the Nine-Tails, defeated the Two-Tails and Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, and confronted the strongest man in the ninja world, the Third Raikage Ai.

He accomplished in one go what countless previous clan leaders had found difficult to accomplish!

On the battlefield of the Third Ninja World War, where the situation was unclear and the Ninja World was in chaos, they were all willing to risk their lives to carry out important missions deep behind enemy lines.

That was from the bottom of his heart, he hoped that his actions could help Uchiha Ci who was about to set foot in Yunming City again!

At that time they were not afraid,

But at this moment, facing Fugaku's questioning, facing the final moment of dividing the cake,

They were speechless, and even felt a little embarrassed.

Just like the betrayal of Uchiha Madara, it was a thorn in Uchiha Madara's heart, and at the same time, it was also a thorn in the hearts of everyone in the Uchiha clan that could never be let go.

At this time, everyone in the Uchiha clan was actually a little uneasy facing Uchiha Ci, who was about to become the new clan leader according to the procedure.

On the one hand, they did have high hopes for the growing Uchiha Ci, hoping that he would lead the clan to become more powerful.

on the other hand,

They were also doubting that, as Uchiha Fugaku said, they had done too little in the process, mainly because they were too late to do anything. After all, who would have thought that in less than four months, Uchiha Ci, that kid, had become almost invincible.

Now facing the grown-up Uchiha Ci, everyone felt like they had found a pie in the sky.

This is too unreal!

After spending just over ten billion, he became invincible!

But, but we still have so much money left to spend! ?

The private property donation, selling of ancestral property, the whole family's death and other scenes have not yet been arranged!

Therefore, Uchiha Fugaku's words, which directly exposed everyone's guilty conscience, were so deafening at this moment that they made everyone present silent and had to look at Uchiha Setsuna with some shame.

And at this moment,

Even from the rooftops, watching the scenes happening in Nanga Shrine,

As the old fellow who was betrayed by his clan as mentioned by Fugaku,

Even the old man Uchiha Madara, who was already old and frail, fell silent.

For Uchiha Madara, although he seemed not to care about the betrayal that happened back then, only he himself knew what he actually thought.

That incident was full of helplessness.
