To pay off the debt, become Hokage!

This is the Minamiga River. It was this river that Uchiha Shisui committed suicide by jumping into in the future.

This is also the small river where Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Madara met.

The Nanga River witnessed the rise and establishment of Konoha, and also witnessed the end of the Uchiha clan in the original work...

Uchiha Shigeka felt like he was on a pilgrimage to a holy land, and after sighing for a moment, they continued on their way.

"My Lords, we have finished cleaning the shrine."

The tribesmen who stayed behind in their ancestral land reported respectfully.

Uchiha Kawaki, the most senior person here, nodded and led everyone through the old buildings.

Uchiha Shigeka walked and observed.

Later, the Uchiha clan moved so quickly after being excluded because of the existence of these old buildings in their ancestral land.

"It's almost there."

Uchiha Tadai whispered beside him.

Uchiha Shigeka looked up when he heard this.

It was already dark, and under the moonlight, a forest stood before our eyes, with a path leading into the depths.

Uchiha Shigeka and the others entered the path, and after walking a few hundred meters they found the road suddenly opened up.

An ancient shrine with carved beams and painted buildings appeared.

The shrine is not new, but has a sense of vicissitudes, having gone through the changes of the years.

This is the Nanga Shrine, the ancestral temple built by the Uchiha clan when they migrated to the Land of Fire.

It has been at least several hundred years since then.

Uchiha Hezang turned around and gave an order in a hoarse voice: "Clan members who hold important positions, are at the jonin level, and possess the three-magatama Sharingan, please step out and follow me into the ancestral temple."

"The rest of you, stand by outside and be on guard. No one is allowed to disturb you!"

"Yes!"

Uchiha Shigeka meets all three requirements.

He was appointed as the deputy captain of the Konoha Police Force by Uchiha Zhaoping. He is the youngest Jonin since the establishment of Konoha and the only one in the Uchiha clan who has awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Absolutely qualified!

"The highlight is about to begin, Chonghua, do you remember what we said before?"

Uchiha Ridai came closer and whispered in Uchiha Shigeka's ear.

Uchiha Shigeka nodded and said, "Of course I remember. I will remain silent, and you two will respond to whatever the other party says."

The selection of the Uchiha clan leader was an internal matter of the family, and the Third Hokage could not interfere. He had to rely on the support of Uchiha Tadai and Uchiha Muneyuki.

Uchiha Taroko nodded: "We are now in an advantageous position. No matter how difficult the other party tries to make things difficult for us, we should ignore it. If we really can't avoid it, we will have Muneyuki and I to help."

Uchiha Shigeka nodded, put his right hand at the corner of his mouth and made a zippering motion.

Uchiha Rida laughed and patted Uchiha Shigeka on the back.

"Come on, let's set off."

As he finished speaking, the gate of Nanga Shrine opened.

Uchiha Shigeka followed the crowd into the Nanga Shrine.

When everyone came in, the door of Nanga Shrine closed and the room suddenly became dark.

bass--

The candlelight flickered, illuminating the room.

"Fugaku, put Zhaoping's spirit tablet up there."

Uchiha Fugaku nodded, and under the gaze of Uchiha Shigeka, he came to the front of the stage holding Uchiha Zhaoping's spirit tablet.

Although Nanga Shrine is a shrine, it does not enshrine gods.

In the center of the room is placed the ancestral tablet of the Uchiha clan, which are the patriarchs of the Uchiha clan from generation to generation.

Uchiha Shigeka observed carefully and his expression suddenly became strange.

He saw Uchiha Madara’s spirit tablet, and Uchiha Shigeka laughed in his heart.

The entire ninja world believed that Uchiha Madara died at the hands of the first Hokage, Senju Hashirama.

Uchiha Shigeka turned on the plot cheat. He knew that Uchiha Madara was not dead, but was hiding underground somewhere.

He knew that the person was still alive, but everyone thought he was dead and even put up a spirit tablet... This feeling was very strange.

Snapped!

Uchiha Fugaku clapped his hands together, chanted a few times, and then lit the incense.

The air was filled with smoke and the scent of sandalwood.

"Ahem." Uchiha Hezang cleared his throat.

Everyone immediately perked up, with a gleam of light in their eyes.

——The selection of the Uchiha clan leader is here!

"It is a pity that Chief Zhaoping passed away. None of us expected that he would die on the battlefield."

Uchiha Hezang glanced at everyone and said, "Now that the funeral ceremony of the Zhaoping clan leader has ended, the spirit tablet is enshrined in the ancestral temple, and his soul can rest in peace."

"He will definitely bless our Uchiha clan in the netherworld together with the clan leaders of all generations, so that the Uchiha clan will prosper and prosper."

Uchiha Hezo took the lead in bowing to the tablet enshrining the clan leaders of all generations.

Uchiha Shigeka and his group followed suit.

After the ceremony, Uchiha Hezang stood up tremblingly and looked behind everyone.

An Uchiha holding a box came forward and placed the box on the ground.

Uchiha Ryuji, who belonged to the extreme faction, stared at the box with narrowed eyes.

"I won't waste my words. You all know that the family cannot be without a leader for a day. The previous clan leader has passed away, and the new clan leader must be chosen from among us."

Uchiha Hezang walked to the box and continued, "According to the family rules of the clan, everyone can participate in the election for the position of clan leader. However, the law is like this, but the actual implementation is not always the case."

"Since the news of the clan leader's death came, only three people have participated in the election... The three of you, come forward."

Uchiha Shigeka held his breath and concentrated, walked out of the line and came to the center of the field.

The other two - Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Maeno walked out together.

Uchiha Hezang and Uchiha Fugaku looked at each other, and he said loudly: "These three people are the candidates for the position of clan leader. Everyone, do you have any objections?"

"Including the clan members on the front line of the battlefield, the votes of all the Uchiha clan members are here. If there are no objections, I will..."

"Senior He Zang, I have objections!"

Uchiha Shigeka and others looked in the direction of the voice, and saw Uchiha Ryuji walking over with his right hand raised and a sneer on his face.

His triangular eyes were full of malice, and he looked at Uchiha Shigeka with an unhappy expression.

"Senior Hezang, the selection of the clan leader is an internal matter of our Uchiha clan, right?"

Uchiha Hezang was delighted in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He nodded and said, "Of course, we want to elect the leader of the Uchiha clan, so naturally no outsiders can interfere."

"You heard what Senior He Zang said, Uchiha Shigeka, how dare you stay here and choose the clan leader?"

Uchiha Ryuji pouted and shouted angrily: "If I let you succeed in the election, I really don't know whether it is you who has the final say or the Third Hokage behind you who has the final say!"

......

Chapter 179: You don’t even want to call me deputy captain

Uchiha Shigeka stared at Uchiha Ryuji who had an angry look on his face.

His eyes instantly changed into sickle-shaped Mangekyō Sharingan.

hum-

The abundant and powerful pupil power and the huge chatonla suddenly burst out, and his aura suddenly changed. Uchiha Longzhi was shocked. The previously harmless Uchiha Shigeka instantly turned into a ferocious beast that would devour anyone, giving him an extremely terrifying sense of oppression.

"Well......"

Uchiha Ryuji's pupils constricted, his body froze instantly, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

His face was distorted and sweat was pouring down. The three-magatama Sharingan had already opened. Uchiha Ryuji continued to resist the pressure brought by Uchiha Shigeka, but in the end he was like an ant trying to shake a tree and overestimating his own abilities.

[I can't hold on any longer...! ]

boom!

Uchiha Ryuji roared unwillingly and knelt on the ground in the surprised eyes of everyone.

"Zhonghua, you..."

The extremists were immediately dissatisfied and wanted to reprimand Uchiha Shigeka.

Uchiha Shigeka looked over, and the next moment, there were a few more people kneeling on the ground.

"Uchiha Ryuji, right? You should be more polite when talking to me. After all, I am the vice-captain of the Konoha Police Force and your immediate superior...ah."

Uchiha Shigeka suddenly realized and said, "I almost forgot that you don't seem to hold an important position. You are considered an unemployed person in the Uchiha clan."

"you!"

With his eyes filled with anger, Uchiha Ryuji barely raised his head and glared at Uchiha Shigeka.

Everything happened so fast that Uchiha Kawaki blinked and looked at the Mangekyō Sharingan with fear.

Uchiha Hezo swallowed the words of reprimand he was about to say and instead came out to smooth things over like a good guy.

"What is this for? Why are you two making such a fuss?"

"This is the ancestral temple of our Uchiha clan. We are here to select the clan leader. In this important place, everyone should be calm and avoid conflicts. Don't forget that the tablets of the clan leaders of all generations are here. They are watching us!"

Uchiha Hezang said to Uchiha Shigeka: "Shigeka, for my sake, please stop and let him get up."

Uchiha Kawaki turned around and blamed Uchiha Ryuji: "Ryuji, Shigeka is a genius. At such a young age, he is already a jonin and the vice-captain of the Konoha Police Force. Not long ago, he killed Hanzo of the Salamander and ended the war with Amegakure. He became a hero praised by everyone in Konoha."

"Young people are always proud when they achieve success."

Uchiha Kazo said with a smile: "As seniors, we should be courteous to the juniors. Longzhi, please be more humble."

"Young people don't know better. Don't you understand that?"

Uchiha Ridai frowned, he stood up and said: "Senior Hezang, this is not right. The Uchiha clan has always valued personal ability. Chonghua's achievements today are entirely due to his own hard work. He deserves his current status!"

"This is not a question of understanding or not. We should respect Chonghua for the heroes who brought more glory to the Uchiha clan."

Uchiha Tadai looked at Uchiha Ryuji and said, "Although Chonghua is young, his ability and status are stronger than yours. Ryuji, although you are older and have a certain degree of experience, this is not a reason for you to be disrespectful to Chonghua."

"Zhonghua did the right thing, Longzhi, show me some respect!"

Uchiha Ridai patted Uchiha Shigeka on the shoulder, signaling him to release his oppression on Uchiha Ryuji.

Uchiha Shigeka withdrew his pressure, but his Mangekyō Sharingan did not close.

Everyone looked at the ruby-like Mangekyō Sharingan with flickering and complicated eyes.

Uchiha Ryuji's body suddenly relaxed and he almost stumbled and fell to the ground. Fortunately, Uchiha Kawaki supported him and prevented him from making a fool of himself.

Uchiha Ryuji stood up with a grim expression. Having suffered a loss, he did not dare to neglect Uchiha Shigeka. His triangular eyes drooped, not daring to look at the opponent's Mangekyō Sharingan.

He turned around and faced Uchiha Tadao.

"I'm not going to argue with you about respect or not, I'm just asking one question."

Uchiha Ryuji said to everyone: "Everyone knows that Shigeka received education in the ninja school and was brainwashed by the Third Hokage. He usually stays close to the Hokage and alienates us from the Uchiha clan."

"He is Tsunade's disciple, and the grandson of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen. He interacts with Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and others. They look up to him, guide him, and those who follow him are all closely connected with the Hokage."

"I was right, wasn't I, Uchiha Muneyuki!"

Uchiha Ryuji looked at Uchiha Muneyuki who had a sullen face.

Uchiha Muneyuki said nothing and looked at him indifferently.

"I can understand the Konoha clan being close to Konoha, after all, the Hidden Leaf Village was founded by our Uchiha clan, and it's only natural for us to be close to our own family."
