After the three Elders left, Uchiha Mikoto walked over to Uchiha Fugaku.
Uchiha Mikoto gave birth to Uchiha Itachi two years ago, and perhaps because she was a Ninja, Uchiha Mikoto's figure had already recovered and was very slender.
However, certain parts of a woman who has given birth do not return to their former state through exercise, and the current Uchiha Mikoto possessed the charm of a mature woman.
She sat down next to Uchiha Fugaku, held Fugaku's hand, and asked, "Was the fierce argument just now alright?"
"It's fine. Where is Itachi? Is he asleep?"
"Mm, let's go to sleep too! We can worry about these things tomorrow."
Uchiha Fugaku nodded, picked up Uchiha Mikoto, and walked into the bedroom.
That night, Uchiha En, who had just arrived home, received a message from the Clan asking him to attend a meeting at Naka Shrine tomorrow.
Uchiha En immediately understood: Uchiha Fugaku and the others must not have reached a conclusion, so they were preparing to let the rest of the Clan participate in the vote.
Uchiha En thought about it and decided to be high-profile tomorrow. He wanted to use this meeting to establish himself firmly within the Uchiha Clan.
Early the next morning, Uchiha En headed to Naka Shrine.
Along the way, Uchiha En did not encounter any fellow Clan members. It wasn't until he reached the vicinity of Naka Shrine that Uchiha En saw a few Clan members.
However, Uchiha En didn't recognize any of these people, nor did he intend to greet them, so he walked straight into Naka Shrine.
After Uchiha En arrived at Naka Shrine, he happened to run into Uchiha Hane.
"En, over here!" Uchiha Hane called out.
Uchiha En hesitated for a moment, then ran over.
Uchiha Hane was an Elder of the dove faction and inherited the will of Uchiha Kagami.
Uchiha En felt that, compared to the hawk faction, it was better for him to temporarily align with the dove faction.
Furthermore, he was slated to take over the position of Captain of the Third Squad in the future, and currently, the Third Squad of the Police Force and Uchiha Hane were considered the same faction.
"En, I heard you returned this time representing Mei?" Uchiha Hane asked.
"Yes, Elder Yu. Captain Mei entrusted me with full responsibility for this matter."
"I see! So, En, do you think we should take this Sharingan back?" Uchiha Hane asked tentatively.
"In my opinion, we must first determine whether this Sharingan was truly given to Kakashi by Obito. If it wasn't, then we should retrieve the Sharingan at all costs, even if it means going to war with the Village.
If it was, Obito is our Clan member, and we should respect his last wish. We can choose not to take the Sharingan back, but the Village cannot simply take it for free; they need to provide the Uchiha Clan with some compensation.
At the very least, it must satisfy the majority of the Clan members."
After hearing Uchiha En's words, Uchiha Hane nodded with satisfaction.
Uchiha En's idea coincided perfectly with his own, and he had already figured out what he wanted to exchange the Sharingan for.
"En, we have confirmed that Kakashi's Sharingan was indeed given to him by Obito."
"I see! I understand what you mean."
"Mm, just observe the situation and act accordingly later." After speaking, Uchiha Hane and Uchiha En walked into Naka Shrine together.
Uchiha Hane led Uchiha En all the way to the round table at the very front, then gestured for Uchiha En to sit in the seat on his right.
Uchiha En did not decline and sat down immediately.
"Heh! Did Uchiha Mei lose his mind along with a Sharingan? To actually send a child to replace him in this meeting," said the squinty-eyed man across from Uchiha En.
"Captain Yashiro, although En is only 13 years old, he has already awakened the Three-Tomoe Sharingan and performed very actively on the Land of Bears battlefield. Isn't what you're saying inappropriate?" Uchiha Hane said with a frown.
When Uchiha En heard the name Yashiro, he suddenly realized.
So this guy was Uchiha Yashiro!
In the original work, he was the one who led two Police Force members to confront Itachi after Shisui's death.
This person seemed to have a good relationship with Uchiha Fugaku. The original work described him as possessing correct analytical ability and the talent to lead Konoha Police Force members; even Uchiha Fugaku greatly admired him.
However, Uchiha En hadn't expected him to be a Captain in the Police Force, and a member of the hawk faction at that.
"Elder Yu, I only trust my own eyes. To me, he is just a wet-behind-the-ears child." After speaking, Uchiha Yashiro opened his eyes, and a scarlet Three Tomoe appeared in his pupils.
Uchiha Yashiro turned his head and looked at Uchiha En.
Uchiha En immediately felt the surrounding environment change.
Uchiha En felt that he had lost control of his body. The next second, Uchiha En "saw" his limbs and torso being pierced by massive iron nails, rendering his body unable to move freely, accompanied by intense pain.
"Brat, that seat is not for you. If you know what's good for you, get out now!" Uchiha Yashiro's emotionless voice echoed in the Genjutsu Space.
"Heh!" Uchiha En sneered. He slowly raised his head and said, "Senior Yashiro, you just said you only trust your own eyes. Have you ever considered that your eyes might deceive you?"
The moment Uchiha En finished speaking, Uchiha Yashiro discovered in horror that the Genjutsu Space he had constructed had actually disintegrated.
The next second, Uchiha Yashiro became the one being nailed down by the spikes.
The intense pain caused a layer of cold sweat to seep from Uchiha Yashiro's forehead.
Uchiha En was not the type of person to swallow his anger when provoked by others.
He increased his Eye power, and accompanied by a scream, Uchiha Yashiro's Mental Space completely collapsed.
The confrontation between the two in the Genjutsu Space lasted only an instant in reality.
In reality, Uchiha Yashiro first broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead, and then slumped onto his chair, losing consciousness.
This scene startled the remaining high-ranking members of the Uchiha Clan.
They were all very clear about Uchiha Yashiro's strength. How could he be taken down by Uchiha En in an instant?
Uchiha En slowly stood up, his scarlet Sharingan sweeping over the Uchiha Clan executives present. He said expressionlessly, "Senior Yashiro just said that he only trusts his own eyes.
Coincidentally, I am also a person who trusts my own eyes very much. In my opinion, I am qualified to sit here, Patriarch, Elders, what do you think?"
Uchiha Chizan and Uchiha Takeshi exchanged glances, revealing expressions of interest.
Uchiha Fugaku glanced at the unconscious Uchiha Yashiro and said, "En, you are Mei's designated representative, so you are naturally qualified to sit here."
"This is an internal matter for your Third Squad, and the Clan will not interfere," said Uchiha Chizan.
"This old man thinks so too," said Uchiha Takeshi.
"It seems no one has any objections, then I shall take my seat." After saying this, Uchiha En deactivated his Sharingan and sat down.
