"Quickly report to Lord Hokage, it seems the Uchiha Race plans to re-elect a Clan Leader, and the participants are Uchiha Yoichi and Uchiha Fugaku."
After an Anbu heard this news, he urgently ordered the person beside him to report to Lord Hokage.
This message is extremely important, especially concerning Uchiha Yoichi, who is a key surveillance target personally appointed by Lord Hokage.
The actions of the Anbu did not stir the Uchiha Ninjas inside the main hall; they were accustomed to being monitored by the Anbu during past large clan meetings.
At present, more Uchiha Clan Members are concerned about the proceedings inside the main hall.
"Fugaku, have you also activated the Mangekyo Sharingan?"
Uchiha Kenji couldn't help but ask in surprise; he didn't think Uchiha Fugaku had such talent. To him, Fugaku's capability had reached its limit upon becoming Clan Leader.
"Indeed, thanks to Mr. Yoichi, I've managed to gain this god-like power, though the price for attaining it was rather hefty!"
As Uchiha Fugaku spoke, the patterns in his Mangekyo eyes began to shift; he had acquired two Pupil Techniques, and upon obtaining two techniques residing in his left and right eyes, the third technique, Susanoo, also awakened.
Although he hadn't yet used it, Uchiha Fugaku felt he could employ it at any moment.
The technique to reverse the Illusion Genjutsu, Chigaeshinohokami, along with Amaterasu that could incinerate anything, and Susanoo both convinced Uchiha Fugaku that he had the strength to duel Uchiha Yoichi.
"Only you and I wish to become Clan Leader now, and only we in the clan possess Mangekyo Sharingan. Why not decide the true Clan Leader through battle!"
Uchiha Fugaku spoke resolutely, his gaze unwavering as he stared at Uchiha Yoichi; this was his decision, seeking to settle scores through such means.
"Fine, let's choose the eastern side of the Forest of Death to avoid causing too much commotion..."
Uchiha Yoichi pointed to a place outside the Barrier and said, he had guessed Uchiha Fugaku's confidence came from the Mangekyo Sharingan, though he hadn't expected Madam Mikota's incident to lead to its awakening for Fugaku.
"Fugaku, Yoichi, both of you are exceptional Ninjas of the Uchiha Race, no need..."
The Great Elder, who hadn't expressed opinions for a while, tried to persuade them but was interrupted by Uchiha Fugaku:
"Great Elder, there's no need to speak, today the duel between Uchiha Yoichi and I is inevitable."
Uchiha Yoichi echoed: "Indeed, the Chunin and Genin will stay, half of the Jonin will maintain order and explain the situation to Konoha, while the rest go to witness this duel."
After speaking, he gestured to Uchiha Fugaku and walked out, while Uchiha Fugaku followed suit.
Seeing that a duel, which was quite dangerous, was inevitable, the Great Elder hurriedly said to Uchiha Kenji: "Kenji, aren't you going to try persuading them? Our clan hasn't seen two Mangekyos at once for a long time, you..."
"It's useless, both you and I are old now, no one can dissuade them."
With clarity, Uchiha Kenji remarked to the Great Elder: "Let's go, regardless of who triumphs, with the leadership of a Mangekyo, the Uchiha will rise to greatness once more..."
According to Uchiha Yoichi's arrangements, orders were given, people stayed behind, informed Konoha, then followed with ten Uchiha Jonin, including six from Uchiha Fugaku's faction.
Including two Elders, a total of twelve witnessed this battle for Clan Leader.
As they left the Konoha Barrier, the Barrier Team promptly received feedback, simultaneously Uchiha Yokokawa informed the village of their clan's sparring plans, considering that so many were exiting the village barrier, a report was necessary.
Moreover, further skirmishing and exchanges would take place outside the barrier.
————————————
Uchiha Yoichi and Uchiha Fugaku arrived in succession at the sparring site, located a distance further near the Valley of the End.
A terrain of plains, ample for their battle.
Uchiha Yoichi remarked: "The strength of the Uchiha Race lies within our eyes, Shuriken, Ninjutsu, Illusion Techniques, Pupil Techniques... Uchiha Fugaku, are you prepared?"
Boom! Boom!
Uchiha Fugaku crossed his hands, directly releasing the Ninja Tools Seal from his wrists, grabbing Shuriken Kunai with each hand.
In the dark of night, he hurled them at Uchiha Yoichi, Shuriken Kunai were harder to detect visually, especially given the Uchiha Throwing Technique's ability to alter flight paths through collision.
"Heh..."
Uchiha Yoichi chuckled lightly, upon Fugaku releasing the Hidden Weapon Seal from his wrists, he retrieved Shuriken and Kunai from his Ninja Tool Bag, as they simultaneously threw toward each other.
Clang, clang, clang, clang...
Suddenly, a dense collision of Shuriken produced amidst the night, the metallic clashing akin to raindrops on pearls.
Their Sharingans rotated rapidly, observing without missing a single Shuriken, considering flight and collision paths during throws, challenging dynamic vision intensely.
Witnessing this, both the Great Elder and Second Elder along with other Jonin Uchiha couldn't help but feel alarmed, secretly praying for the side they favored.
The dense Shuriken throwing would lead to relentless assaults if errors occurred.
Soon, several more gathered at the scene, the Great Elder and Second Elder acknowledged with a nod, signaling it was inappropriate to greet or speak now.
