Moreover, we're still at war. If the front lines become strained or other Ninja Villages launch another major offensive, we will definitely need the Uchiha Race.

In the following days, Uchiha Yoichi discussed serious matters with Mikota during the day. As the game's revenue kept increasing, the money in hand needed to be spent. Therefore, Uchiha Yoichi selected a few industries for Mikota to invest in or wholly acquire when she had some spare time.
In the evenings, they engaged in physical activities, but Mikota's ordinary physique had difficulty enduring Uchiha Yoichi's demands for several consecutive days. Hence, she pleaded to exercise one day and rest for a few days.
Initially, Mikota wanted to monopolize Uchiha Yoichi. She knew there was a young girl named Uchiha Minami by his side, but after spending time with Uchiha Yoichi, she found that Mr. Yoichi was very fond of her, wishing they could be together day and night.
So, Mikota developed this little thought, wanting to have Mr. Yoichi all to herself, just like in her dreams, and give him a son named Sasuke.
But Mikota completely misunderstood. Uchiha Yoichi was indeed infatuated with her as in her dreams, but she couldn't handle it. After just two days, she needed a break, or she wouldn't be able to walk.
After these days of interaction, Uchiha Mikota came to realize that wanting to monopolize Mr. Yoichi was impossible. If she couldn't even satisfy Mr. Yoichi after marriage, she wouldn't be fulfilling her role as a wife.
Aside from deepening his relationship with Mikota, Uchiha Yoichi also focused on training.
When Mikota went to take care of business, Uchiha Yoichi entered the basement to absorb Star Stone Chakra.
After absorbing Star Stone Chakra for so long, even Godzilla had evolved greatly, its size increasing, and its connection with Uchiha Yoichi strengthening.
Chakra can link to the spirit, but this Godzilla was purely physically strong, with average mental strength. Uchiha Yoichi had already activated the Mangekyo, and his Yin Release Chakra was very powerful.
While Uchiha Yoichi absorbed Star Stone Chakra, the Chakra was also linking the spirits of Godzilla and Uchiha Yoichi.
Now the assimilation between Uchiha Yoichi and Godzilla was deepening, and Godzilla was gradually coming under his control.
Once Godzilla completely evolved to its fourth form, Uchiha Yoichi would be able to use Godzilla's power without restraint.
These days, while absorbing Star Stone Chakra, Uchiha Yoichi felt that his Pupil Power had fully recovered and even slightly increased.
However, Uchiha Yoichi also sensed that there wasn't much energy left in the Star Stone. His absorption of Star Stone Chakra was more than what the Star Village absorbed in a hundred years. After all, Star Ninjas didn't dare to absorb its energy as recklessly as he did.
Recently, Yugito had also been much more compliant. She even helped out at Uchiha Yoichi's home, suggesting that she had become quite disillusioned with the Hidden Cloud Village.
After all, when faced with a village that wants to kill you, even if she understands the Hidden Cloud Village's need for the Two-tailed, Yugito couldn't get over the fact they wanted to kill her.
Based on Yugito's behavior over these last few days, Uchiha Yoichi changed her diet and even allowed her to move around in the courtyard.
Upon hearing this news, Yugito's face was no longer scrunched up, but whenever she saw Uchiha Yoichi afterward, she'd still show a disdainful expression and would mutter 'H' behind his back, thinking he couldn't hear.
Soon, the day for the clan meeting arrived.
This was no small matter for the Uchiha Race. Uchiha Yoichi had already shared his plans with Uchiha Kenji, and Jonin from the Martial Arts Faction, like Uchiha Masato and Uchiha Yokokawa, were well aware of what this clan meeting was about.
Thus, they were all raring to go, because the Clan Leader represents the face of the race, and they'd rather have Konoha Lightning Fang, a name known throughout the Ninja World, as the Clan Leader than let Uchiha Fugaku continue.
"Mikota, aren't you going?"
"I... I think I'll pass. I don't know how to face Fugaku. Sorry, Mr. Yoichi."
Uchiha Mikota thought for a moment, then shook her head and said; Although she could participate in the clan meeting, she wanted to avoid Uchiha Fugaku, thinking he might already know about her and Mr. Yoichi.
Nevertheless, Uchiha Mikota suspected what was about to happen. After helping Uchiha Yoichi tidy up his clothes, she said hesitantly, "Mr. Yoichi, nothing's going to happen tonight, right?"
"It's just a clan meeting. Nothing will happen. You don't really think there will be casualties, do you?"
Uchiha Yoichi smiled to reassure her, "Don't worry. I'm heading out, just keep an eye on Yugito for me."
With that said, Uchiha Yoichi walked out. When he reached the corner outside his house, many people were already waiting for him.
It included Uchiha Masato, Uchiha Yokokawa, and others from the Martial Arts Faction.
"Mr. Yoichi, let's go."
"Yes, let's go."
Soon, a group of people arrived at the Nankai Shrine. When they counted, there were a total of three hundred people.
Although this large clan meeting was open to all ninjas, more than two hundred people were outside the village, and fifty members of the Security Team needed to patrol.
Over a hundred people, like Uchiha Mikota, didn't really want to attend the clan meeting and would just wait to hear what happened afterward. Therefore, there were only this many attendees.
But these over three hundred ninjas were already quite a number. Each time the Uchiha Race held their biannual large clan meeting, it would make the Konoha high command cautious.
Three hundred ninjas gathering, especially from the Second Generation Hokage's designated unstable clan, would make Sarutobi Hiruzen sleepless, deploying several Anbu ninjas around Nankai Shrine.
Luckily, the shrine had an even larger main hall, which, though close to the open-air Nankai River, was suitable for gatherings. The Uchiha ninjas arranged themselves by rank, naturally forming three circles.
The Clan Leader and Elders sat first, followed by the Jonin in a circle around them, then the Chunin behind them, with the Genin in the outermost circle.
As people arrived one after the other, when the time came, everyone was seated.
Suddenly, the main hall fell silent, so quiet that the breathing of those next to them was audible.
Uchiha Kenji spoke, "Clan Leader, you may begin."
"Very well. However, I won't beat around the bush. Though there may be many matters to discuss tonight, they're not urgent and can be postponed to the next clan meeting without any issues. Tonight's clan meeting is for one purpose only."
Uchiha Fugaku's voice was clear and loud, ensuring even the Genin at the back heard every word clearly.
Uchiha Yoichi and Uchiha Kenji were somewhat surprised as they looked at Uchiha Fugaku, beginning to speculate on what he might say next. What other tricks could Uchiha Fugaku have?
"Tonight, during this clan meeting, we might need to re-elect a Clan Leader, right, Uchiha Yoichi?"
As Uchiha Fugaku finished speaking, almost all clan members looked towards Uchiha Yoichi.
Hearing the Clan Leader's words, those who weren't aware of this in advance were shocked. Was Uchiha Yoichi, who made the name Konoha Lightning Fang, interested in becoming Clan Leader too?
"Indeed, I believe I'd be a better Clan Leader than you."
Uchiha Yoichi straightforwardly admitted, "I can bring benefits to the clan, I can give the clan confidence, and I'm confident in making the Uchiha name the strongest in the Ninja World. Therefore, I should be the Clan Leader of the Uchiha Race."
Upon hearing Uchiha Yoichi's words, all the ninjas participating in the clan meeting began to ponder.
Many suddenly felt that Uchiha Yoichi's argument was reasonable. The Uchiha welfare system, Konoha Lightning Fang renowned in the Ninja World, the only Uchiha with the Mangekyo; making him the Clan Leader didn't seem bad.
"I understand. In other areas, I am indeed a bit weaker than you. But if you want me to vacate the Clan Leader position, then convince me with your strength."
After Uchiha Fugaku finished speaking, his black pupils changed instantly, Three-Tomoe appeared, then connected together to form a completely unfamiliar Sharingan pattern.
Uchiha Kenji, Uchiha Yokokawa, and the others were astonished, not expecting Uchiha Fugaku to have activated this eye too.
Mangekyo Sharingan.
