Uchiha Fugaku's chest rose and fell violently.
He looked in disbelief at the Uchiha in front of him.
Almost all the young Jōnin in Uchiha sided with Fūnan, and...
Fugaku looked towards the corner. A young man stood there silently with his hands raised.
His son, his pride, sided with Fūnan?
Fugaku stared at the boy with a complicated expression. To stand with Fūnan now is to oppose him!
Itachi stared at his father calmly, without saying a word, but with an extremely firm look on his face.
He listened to Fūnan's words, and he also listened to his father's words. Finally, he looked at the family and the village with his own eyes, and he made a choice!
Uchiha Soji coughed twice, glanced behind him, and shouted: "Shisui, what are you doing?"
Shisui had a stern expression, turned his head, pretending not to hear, and did not put down his raised hand.
Uchiha Soji glared at Shisui, feeling both curious and helpless.
Is the backbone of the dove faction, the grandson of Kagami Uchiha, also on the side of the hawk faction?
Setsuna was instantly happy. After coming back to his senses, he immediately motioned to the hawks to raise their hands.
He and the two people behind him gave Fūnan the absolute upper hand.
Of the twenty-five Jōnin, four voluntarily abstained, thirteen sided with Fūnan, and eight did not raise their hands.
Among them, there must be neutrals.
If all the Uchiha Jōnin are counted, there are fifteen Uchiha Jōnin, nearly half of them, standing on Fūnan's side.
And who could guarantee that those clan members who did not come would not join Fūnan?
"It's amazing! Unknowingly, he managed to win over so many Jōnin in the family!"
Fugaku had regained his composure. He looked directly at Fūnan and said: "Fūnan, do you want to launch an armed coup?"
The atmosphere in the place suddenly became tense. Including Shisui, many people looked at Fūnan.
"How is that possible?" Fūnan laughed and said: "Clan leader, I promise you that I will never take the initiative to start a war."
'I will only cause those who are watching the Uchiha to die in agony!' Fūnan thought.
Fūnan's words made many people feel relieved.
Instead, Setsuna curled his lips in dissatisfaction.
"Not taking the initiative?" Fugaku did not back down at all, saying: "Continue to expand the power of the Uchiha clan and then force the village to take the initiative?"
"Clan leader, you know what? In some ways, you are really naive" Fūnan shook his head.
Fugaku, deep down, was someone who loved peace. Therefore, he subconsciously worked in that direction. This is what Fūnan cannot understand the most.
When someone in the Uchiha clan wants to destroy the peace of the village, Uchiha Fugaku will punch them hard and crush them all.
So, here comes the problem.
When Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzō were destroying them, why the hell didn't you go up and bite them?
To put it harshly, you who are only ruthless to your own people are a bastard!
As a clan leader, you, Fugaku, are not qualified, especially according to what happened in the Naruto Series plot, when faced with Itachi's butcher knife, you actually decided to surrender without wanting to kill each other!
Are you really worthy of being a Uchiha?!
"Oh, am I naive? I would like to know more details." Fugaku's expression remained calm.
Fūnan was speechless and said: "The clan has a limited number of members. Even if I expand a hundred teams, we would still be the same number of people. So the only way to increase the number of the Police Force is to invite shinobi from other clans or civilian shinobi."
Fugaku was silent. People who knew him noticed a slight embarrassment in him.
Forgive him, he also had an instinctive reaction. When he heard that Uchiha wanted to expand his power, he couldn't help but want to object.
It was the Sandaime and the others who forced me.
Seeing this, Yashiro quickly said: "Clan leader, do you agree with this result?"
"He can only be because there is still one last step to take."
Fūnan suddenly took off his casual jacket, revealing a smart outfit, and walked towards the open space aside.
"Chief Fugaku, let's compete. The Uchiha clan respects strength. If I defeat you, I think you will have nothing to say, right?"
Everyone was startled, and their eyes were gradually filled with excitement.
As Fūnan said, what the Uchiha clan admires most is strength!
On the contrary, Fugaku, Setsuna and Soji frowned slightly.
They didn't understand why, in such a favorable situation, Fūnan would challenge Fugaku.
Even if you are confident in your own strength, why bother?
Moreover, Fugaku, as the leader of the Uchiha clan, was known as Wicked Eye Fugaku during the Shinobi World War. His power was not much worse than that of the Blood Flame, but he was not in the same period. During the war Fūnan was only fifteen years old, far from his prime.
Once Fūnan is defeated, everything he has done may be in vain. Unless, he is completely sure!
Facing Uchiha Fugaku, the patriarch of the Uchiha family. Who can be completely sure?
"What's wrong? Leader Fugaku, are you afraid?"
Faced with Fūnan's provocation, Fugaku snorted coldly, stood up and walked towards Fūnan, saying: "Boy, don't get too arrogant, or you will regret it."
"Then you come and teach me a lesson!"
Fūnan chuckled, three magatama appeared in his eyes, and the powerful pupil power began to spread.
The same three Tomoe appeared in Fugaku's eyes.
Looking at Fūnan, he suddenly said: "Speaking of which, Fūnan, I have never fought against you."
Fugaku, as leader of the Uchiha, had trained many young Uchiha, especially Shisui and Itachi.
However, Fūnan, who once overshadowed the two of them, has been avoiding him.
He always thought that Setsuna had said something to Fūnan, but current events showed that this young man had been following his own path for a long time.
The two looked at each other. The pressure was already at its peak. Sensing the tension, other Uchiha became even more excited.
One was the leader of the Uchiha clan, considered the strongest among them. The other was a new Uchiha talent, Fūnan, the Blood Flame on the battlefield.
Suddenly, the two of them started to form seals at the same time.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
The same skillful seals, the only difference is the color of the flames.
A ball of blood-colored flames reflected in everyone's eyes. After hitting Fugaku's fireball, it pushed the flames back without stopping.
Overwhelmingly powerful!
Fugaku's complexion changed slightly.
He had heard the name Blood Flame for a long time, but this is the first time he felt the power of that strange blood-colored Fire Release.
The bloody flames hit Fugaku, causing a huge explosion and swallowing him instantly.
Fūnan did not hesitate to form another seal, facing behind him.
"Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique!"
Countless bloody flames, like meteor showers, scattered and fell to the earth.
Fugaku's silhouette appeared exactly where the flames were going to hit.
Body Flicker Technique!
However, the flames were already too close.
Fugaku's body was hit by the Phoenix Fire, as if hit by bullets, leaving multiple holes before turning into smoke.
"Shadow Clone Technique!"
"Here!" Fugaku's deep voice sounded behind Fūnan. He formed a seal with his hands, and the Fire Release was ready.
"Here!" The same words appeared behind Fugaku.
Fugaku's pupils contracted violently.
Rich combat experience allowed his body to subconsciously use the Body Flicker Technique.
"Too late!" Fūnan's lips curved into an evil smile.
"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"
A huge flame rose into the sky and instantly covered Fugaku.
