章 1: Initiating the Ousting of the Uchiha Clan Leader
"I disagree!"
In the Uchiha shrine at this moment, a high-ranking member of the security team angrily shouted at Fugaku, "Why should our Uchiha clan move next to the prison? And it's at the farthest corner of Konoha!"
"If we're so far from Konoha, how are we supposed to patrol the village?"
Fugaku, at the top, frowned. He tried to pacify the enraged security team below, "You're right, but other clans are also relocating. It can't just be the Uchiha clan refusing."
It was shortly after the night of the Nine-Tails Incident. The chaos caused severe losses to all Konoha ninja clans, except the Uchiha. Because the Uchiha clan was tasked by Danzo and Hiruzen to evacuate refugees, they never went to the front lines of battle.
This solitary action put the already suspicious and resentful Uchiha clan in the spotlight.
Half of the malice towards the Nine-Tails shifted onto the Uchiha clan.
Rumors spread in the village that the Uchiha clan controlled the Nine-Tails, causing the chaos.
Now, as the territories were being redistributed among the clans, the Uchiha, who hadn't suffered any damage, were forced to relocate.
Under the guidance of Uchiha Itachi, Fugaku agreed to the conditions set by Konoha's higher-ups. Now, not only were the Uchiha completely ousted from the power center of Konoha, but other ninja clans were also surrounding the Uchiha clan.
Such a humiliating act ignited the anger of the clan members.
Suddenly, Uchiha Tetsuo stood up and shouted, "When has our Uchiha clan been so aggrieved! Protest! We must protest! Konoha was built by our Uchiha clan, and now we're being treated like this? I refuse!
"Our dignified Uchiha clan can't even keep our own territory under your leadership. This is disgraceful! I propose revoking Fugaku's position as clan head and having Lord Toki take over!"
As these words were spoken, everyone's gaze turned to a handsome young man in the corner.
He, Uchiha Toki, was a genius Uchiha alongside Fugaku. However, his genius wasn't in combat prowess but in exceptional political acumen.
He had foreseen major events in Konoha and even the ninja world, helping the Uchiha clan avoid numerous casualties and earning significant respect within the clan.
His reputation stemmed from being a reincarnated individual, striving to change the fate of the Uchiha clan to avoid their demise.
He knew well that Konoha, since the Second Hokage, had been suppressing the Uchiha clan.
During the Third Great Ninja War, this suppression reached its peak. Many high-ranking Uchiha were sent to the most dangerous fronts, while the fledglings were confined to the Konoha security force, even those without the Sharingan.
By the end of the war, the vast Uchiha clan couldn't even muster a handful of elite ninja.
Toki had repeatedly advised Fugaku to be vigilant, to rally the clan, prioritize the Uchiha, preserve their strength, and develop quietly.
But Fugaku, the fool, always believed in Konoha's ideology of unity and cooperation, obediently following Hiruzen's orders and even naming his son after Hiruzen's father.
Initially, Toki thought Fugaku was just indecisive. He believed that once Fugaku recognized Konoha's ambitions, the fate of the Uchiha clan could be changed.
But he hadn't expected Fugaku to be just as brainwashed by the Will of Fire!
He was even more thorough than his son, Itachi, unwilling to engage in internal conflicts within the village.
So, Toki began quietly amassing power, rallying clan members.
Finally, on the night of the Nine-Tails, after failing to persuade Fugaku to involve the clan in frontline combat, the contradiction between the people and Fugaku erupted.
Toki took advantage of the situation to orchestrate Fugaku's impeachment as clan head.
Fugaku looked at Toki in astonishment. He never thought that his trusted advisor, who often strategized for him, would harbor such ambitions.
Toki approached Fugaku calmly. He looked at him indifferently and said slowly, "I believe Fugaku is indeed not suitable to be the clan head. A clan head should prioritize the clan. But it seems our current clan head values Konoha more than our Uchiha."
Fugaku frowned, "I'm doing this for peace! The Uchiha clan is part of Konoha. If Konoha is at peace, aren't we Uchiha also at peace? Haven't you woken up to the tragedy of the Great Ninja War yet?"
"Moreover, our Uchiha clan not only controls the vital position of the Konoha security force but also doesn't need to engage in frontline battles. Currently, our Uchiha clan can stably maintain its position as the largest clan in Konoha. Isn't that enough?"
Toki looked at Fugaku as if he were an idiot and sneered, "With your level, you still want to be clan head? Are you an idiot?"
