To pay off the debt, become Hokage!

"But I don't understand the Hokage faction." Uchiha Ryuji looked at them with dissatisfaction and disgust: "The one who is in the position of Hokage now is not Senju, but Sarutobi!"

"It's OK for Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju, but why does he, Sarutobi Hiruzen, have the right?"

"We Uchiha are the family that founded Konoha. Our status is above that of the Sarutobi clan! Look at you now. You are following behind Sarutobi Hiruzen like an obedient dog, letting him drive you around."

Uchiha Ryuji was furious and said, "You have brought shame to the Uchiha clan! Do you still have the honor of the Uchiha clan?!"

"Senior Hezang, I don't agree with Shigeka's candidacy for clan leader. I'm afraid the Uchiha clan will lose its identity in the future. In time, I'm afraid the Uchiha clan will have to change its name to Sarutobi!"

"You're exaggerating, Longzhi."

Uchiha Ridai glared at him and looked at Uchiha Kawaki.

"Kawazo-senpai, does Shigeka's candidacy for clan leader have anything to do with his closeness to the Hokage?"

Uchiha Kawazzang guessed what Uchiha Tadao did and felt regretful.

He shook his head and said, "No."

Uchiha Ridai asked, "Then is there a law that prohibits the election of clan leader that can disqualify Chonghua from running for election?"

Without waiting for Uchiha Hezang to answer, Uchiha Muneyuki said, "Of course not."

"It's just a favor. If you want to ban the election of clan leader... our Uchiha laws are not so strict!"

Uchiha Ryuji said quickly: "It's not in the law, but everyone knows that the future of the Uchiha clan cannot be handed over to someone close to the Hokage!"

"Does everyone understand?" Uchiha Shigeka asked.

Under Uchiha Taroko's surprised gaze, he smiled faintly: "Can you represent everyone?"

Uchiha Shigeka glanced at the extremists with mockery in his eyes.

"Your faction is obviously a minority within the Uchiha clan, but you actually think that a small number of people represent the majority?"

Uchiha Shigeka glanced at him and said, "Who do you think you are? Do you have the ability to represent everyone?"

Uchiha Ryuji firmly believed: "I believe they must have the same idea as me, and they will definitely make the right decision..."

Uchiha Shigeka waved his hands, not wanting to listen to what the other party said, and interrupted: "By the way, did you just say that we are dogs?"

Uchiha Ryuji's words stopped abruptly and his face froze.

......

Chapter 180: Give Up, Brother Fugaku

Uchiha Ryuji's throat rolled and he swallowed.

He pretended to be calm and said, "Isn't what I said right? Zhonghua, don't forget, you are a member of the Uchiha clan!"

"Oh, so what?"

A faint breath filled the air, and Uchiha Ryuji suddenly felt a chill and his hair stood on end.

Uchiha Ryuji was very familiar with this feeling, that irresistible feeling of oppression appeared again!

"You...you have to think about the Uchiha clan! Shigeka, your current achievements are all due to your bloodline - without the Sharingan, you are nothing!"

"Why do you think Tsunade accepted you as her apprentice? Why do you think the Third Hokage valued you?"

Uchiha Ryuji yelled, "That's because they want to use your identity to interfere in the internal affairs of our Uchiha clan!"

"They want to seize the position of clan leader and use the opportunity to incite civil strife within the Uchiha clan, so that we will kill each other... Yes, just like what happened decades ago!"

"Ryuji, that matter has nothing to do with the Third Hokage and the others."

Uchiha Ridai's face darkened.

Uchiha Ryuji didn't believe it. He said, "How can it not be related? They would like to see us kill each other until our clan is extinct. That's what they think of us Uchiha."

Uchiha Tadai shook his head: "Ryuji, I have governed the Uchiha with Brother Zhaoping for many years. I have access to the events that happened decades ago, the archives that have been preserved, and the quotations of the parties involved. I can confirm that this matter has nothing to do with the Third Hokage and his men."

"I do not believe!"

Uchiha Ryuji didn't believe it, and neither did the extremists behind him.

"Ryuji, what the traveler said is right." Uchiha Hezang stepped forward and said, "I have experienced that turmoil, I can guarantee..."

"What does dwelling on something that happened decades ago have to do with our selection of the patriarch now?"

Uchiha Shigeka suddenly spoke in a deep voice.

Everyone's eyes turned to Uchiha Shigeka.

Uchiha Tadao and Uchiha Muneyuki looked at him and winked.

——Don't say anything, just leave it to us.

But Uchiha Shigeka felt that the empty talk was a bit lengthy, and, furthermore, they brought out the Uchiha family's legal provisions, but the other party turned a blind eye and denied it, and started talking about the Izanagi riots decades ago, trying to prove that the Hokage lineage viewed the Uchiha clan with malice, and therefore, the indirect proof of Uchiha Shigeka, who had close ties with the Hokage lineage, was not credible.

In a word, what Uchiha Ryuji meant was that if Uchiha Shigeka became the clan leader, he would definitely become the Hokage's lackey and harm the Uchiha clan.

The Uchiha clan will be destroyed in his hands!

They must stop Uchiha Shigeka from becoming the leader of the Uchiha clan!

The extremists are just argumentative and nothing they say will work. In that case, Uchiha Shigeka is going to turn the table over!

"Senior Hezang, we have been arguing with each other and neither of us can convince the other. In this case, why not put aside the dispute and vote directly."

Uchiha Shigeka looked at the box on the ground: "It is everyone here who is dissatisfied with me, but the majority of the Uchiha people are not involved in our dispute. Let's open the votes of the people first."

"and many more......"

Uchiha Ryuji wanted to say something, but Uchiha Shigeka fixed his eyes on him.

The pupil power comparable to the eternal Mangekyō Sharingan exploded instantly, causing Uchiha Ryuji's body to stiffen in an instant and fall into an illusion.

Uchiha Shigeka looked past Uchiha Ryuji and looked at the extremists behind him.

They didn't have time to discover Uchiha Ryuji's situation and followed him in being hostile to Uchiha Shigeka.

This happened to hit Uchiha Shigeka's Mangekyō Sharingan.

hum-

The room suddenly became quiet.

Uchiha Kawaki and his group looked at the extremists in astonishment as they stood there in a daze. They all knew that these people were controlled by an illusion.

[In an instant, so many people!? ]

Uchiha Hezo's pupils shrank in disbelief.

The Uchiha clan has a high resistance to illusions because of the Sharingan, and they are also good at using illusions.

Unexpectedly, he was controlled by Uchiha Shigeka without any resistance and fell into illusion...

Uchiha Kawaki subconsciously wanted to look into Uchiha Shigeka's eyes, but then he immediately thought of the current situation of the extremists.

He forced himself to stop looking and doubts arose in his mind.

[This is the Mangekyō Sharingan... isn't it a little too powerful? ]

He is an old man who has experienced the Izanagi Turmoil, and he has also seen Uchiha Jiri's Mangekyō Sharingan.

Because of this, he knew the difference between the Mangekyō Sharingan and the Sharingan wasn't so hopeless.

——At least, Zhili couldn’t make so many people fall into illusion.

If it were that easy, why would Uchiha Jiri risk losing his light by developing Izanami to stop his clan members from going crazy because of Izanagi?

"Uchiha Shigeka, what are you going to do!?"

An angry shout brought Uchiha Hezo back to his senses.

He looked in the direction of the voice and saw Uchiha Maeno, the man nominated by the extremists to compete for the clan leader.

Uchiha Shigeka looked at Uchiha Maeno and said in a deep voice: "I just don't want to waste time. If you have anything to say, just shut up now."

"The meaningless dispute ends here. If anyone is obstructing the selection of the clan leader, I will send them to the world of illusion."

"Go ahead and argue as much as you want there!"

Uchiha Maeno's body stiffened, and he was horrified.

He was unable to move, and was directly imprisoned by the vague pressure!

Uchiha Shigeka took a step forward and said to Uchiha Hezang in a tough manner: "Senior Hezang, please issue the ticket!"

"Oh, this is a bit messy." Uchiha Lutai shook his head, his lips slightly curved with a helpless smile.

"Lutai, I've told you long ago that Chonghua is a very opinionated person. It's not his style to keep him silent."

Uchiha Muneyuki patted Uchiha Tadao's shoulder, and then said the same words as Uchiha Shigeka.

"Kawazo-senpai, please issue the tickets."

Along with his words came the people who supported Uchiha Shigeka.

"Senior He Zang, please give me the ticket!" xN.

The sound was like thunder.

The walls of the shrine could not block out the voices of the crowd. Even the Uchiha clan members who were on guard outside the house couldn't help but look over curiously, wondering what was going on inside.

Faced with everyone's requests, Uchiha Hezo looked grim.

It seems that he is going to follow the wishes of the people and issue the votes.

At this time, Uchiha Fugaku, who had been silent, spoke.

"Chonghua, it seems that what I said has no meaning to you."

He was referring to the brief conversation at the funeral.

Uchiha Shigeka chuckled: "With everyone's support, I can't give up just because of what you said."

"Brother Fugaku, now it's my turn to ask you. The situation is now clear and the gap between you and me is too big. Why don't you give up the election?"

Uchiha Fugaku's heart sank when he heard what Uchiha Shigeka said.

"Give up, Brother Fugaku, you have no chance. The position of clan leader——I am determined to get it!"

......

Chapter 181: Speak with Strength

Uchiha Fugaku took a deep breath, then suddenly smiled bitterly and said, "Shigeka, it seems I can't stop you from becoming the clan leader."

"I was ultimately unable to protect my father's hard work."

Uchiha Fugaku was unwilling, but there was nothing he could do.

Uchiha Tadai looked at the heavy-faced Uchiha Fugaku. After all, he had watched him grow up. He sighed and said comfortingly: "Fugaku, the Uchiha clan needs a strong leader. You are a good child. I have watched you grow up and know your character and excellence."

"It's just..." Uchiha Rida glanced at Uchiha Shigeka and said, "For the future of the Uchiha clan, I choose to support Shigeka who is better than you."

"I'm sorry, Fugaku, but uncle is not on your side."

"…Is it because of the Mangekyō Sharingan?" Uchiha Fugaku stared at Uchiha Shigeka's eyes with a complicated look and jealousy in his heart.

“That’s part of the consideration.”

Uchiha Tadai nodded in acknowledgment.

Of course, that was only part of the reason. The main reason why he supported Uchiha Shigeka was that he had the opportunity to fulfill the long-cherished wish of the Uchiha clan.

Become the first Hokage from the Uchiha family!

The Uchiha clan is the founding family of the Hidden Leaf Village, and is on equal footing with the Senju clan. The current Third Hokage comes from a younger family of the Senju clan.

Uchiha Tadai is not as extreme as the extremists, but he is also dissatisfied with Sarutobi Hiruzen's position as Hokage.

He has always been a member of the Konoha faction, and there has been no change. He is close to Konoha and distant from the Hokage.

But one day, when he suddenly thought that Uchiha Shigeka might become Hokage, his mind was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins and he couldn't stop.

Looking at Uchiha Shigeka's talents, achievements, and connections with people of high and low status around him...

Chonghua’s dream is not out of reach and there is a great chance that it will come true.

The more Uchiha Taroko thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, so he took action and placed his bets.

He has put all his hopes on Uchiha Shigeka to fulfill his dream and become the first Uchiha Hokage!

[I hope my choice was not wrong. ]
