Realizing that the clan leader's tone was a bit off, several Uchiha clan members who had just clamored to seize power looked at each other. For the time being, no one dared to say anything, let alone raise their hands as Fugaku requested.
Looking at the silent Uchiha people, a sneer flashed across the corner of Fugaku's mouth. After snorting, he raised his hands to his chest and asked with a straight face:
"No one raised their hands? Huh? Why aren't you talking?"
"Isn't what you said before very good? Why is the Hokage not in the village? Why is our Uchiha's opportunity coming? What a good idea?"
"Now...why are you mute?"
The further he continued, the more stern Fugaku's tone became, the frost in his eyes continued to gather, the expression on his face became extremely gloomy, and the cold aura in his body seemed to be about to come out.
Until the last sentence was uttered, all the Uchiha people in the scene did not dare to take a breath, and the interior of the ancestral hall suddenly fell into silence. Only the slowly burning candlesticks made one or two faint crackling sounds.
His eyes swept across everyone's faces again, and unexpectedly he didn't see any clansman who dared to look at him. Fugaku slowly let out a long breath, and after a while, his expression returned to normal.
Since awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan and personally killing the former Hokage's confidant ninja Uchiha Kazuo, Fugaku's position within the Uchiha clan has become more stable, and his authority has grown day by day.
Until after the May 26 Incident, with the help of his outstanding performance in the Battle of the Nine-Tails, Fugaku had completely established the majesty of the unequivocal clan leader in the Uchiha clan, and no Uchiha clan member dared to speak against him in person.
This is also the fundamental reason why the few Uchiha tribesmen present who kept inciting the atmosphere decisively shut up when they realized that Fugaku was clearly opposed to the so-called coup.
But they were silent now, but Fugaku didn't want to give up. He continued to put on the expressionless look before and said calmly:
"If you don't say anything, then I will acquiesce and let this matter go. From now on, if anyone dares to talk about topics related to seizing power in front of others, don't blame me for serving according to the clan rules."
Perhaps seeing that the patriarch was about to put an end to the coup, the most cheerful Uchiha tribesman who had been shouting before couldn't help it anymore. He gritted his teeth and suddenly stood up and looked directly at Fugaku:
"Lord Patriarch, do I think you are being too cautious?"
"It would be fine if the Hokage is still in the village, but he is not here now after all. As long as we can strike first, decisively control Nonou, and join forces with the Hyuga clan, which has been suppressed by the Hokage in recent years, to quickly regain power.
"
"When the Hokage comes back, how will he be able to fight against the entire village when he is already dead? Then we will directly classify him as a traitorous nin with the help of our righteousness..."
This Uchiha tribesman spoke clearly and clearly, with clear ideas and clear plans. The eyes of the other people around him couldn't help but get brighter and brighter, and they nodded repeatedly, as if they agreed with this person's statement.
All this almost made Fugaku laugh out loud. He didn't bother to call the other person a pig-headed person or criticize the other person for being whimsical and daydreaming. He just sighed with melancholy on his face and interrupted:
"Uchiha Ritsu, I don't agree with your statement."
He directly set the tone, and then without waiting for the young Uchiha ninja named Uchiha Ritsu to retort, without even looking at the other party's red face, Fugaku continued without any pause:
"Your thoughts are very dangerous. In order to prevent you from continuing to confuse other members of our Uchiha clan and eventually get things out of control, I have decided now..."
"Take away your Uchiha surname and expel you and your family from the Uchiha clan."
As Fugaku's words fell, the atmosphere in the ancestral hall fell silent again. Uchiha Ritsu, including all the Uchiha tribesmen present, fell into a state of sluggishness, obviously unable to believe that their clan leader would make such a decision!
After a few seconds, as if he felt that he had heard wrongly, Uchiha Ritsu's tone was full of disbelief, and his tone was slightly trembling:
"Clan...Clan leader, are you kidding me?"
Fugaku turned his head, stared at Uchiha Ritsu with unblinking eyes, slowly opened his lips, and spoke in a calm tone again, filled with a sense of calm:
"Do you think I'm joking with you?"
Clearly seeing the determination in Fugaku's eyes, and feeling the unquestionable tone in the other person's words, Uchiha Ritsu obviously couldn't accept that he had ended up in such an end, and immediately took a deep breath and shouted loudly:
"Why?! What did I do wrong?!"
Like dominoes, Uchiha Ritsu's reaction seemed to instantly ignite the emotions of some people present. Immediately, six or seven more Uchiha ninjas stood up, all glared at Fugaku, and said in a hurry:
"Lord Patriarch! I think what you did is inappropriate!"
"Yeah! Lu just said what he thought, he didn't really do anything!"
"Why should we expel him from Uchiha? He obviously didn't make any mistakes!"
In addition to these Uchiha clan members who stood up, there were also some Uchiha ninjas kneeling on the floor next to them who couldn't help but speak, either interceding for Uchiha Ritsu, or questioning Fugaku's decision, hoping that he could take back his life.
.
In the blink of an eye, Fugaku seemed to suddenly be outraged. He was immediately criticized by everyone present, but he still remained calm. There seemed to be no emotion in Furui Muha's eyes.
One second, two seconds, unknowingly, the black pupils turned into blood red, and the three jet black magatamas rotated rapidly without interruption, and finally transformed into an equilateral triangle pattern, exuding a sharp light.
The next moment, before everyone could react, the space suddenly collapsed. Uchiha Ritsu flashed in front of Fugaku in an instant, and the latter, who was well prepared, slashed his neck with a kunai.
Bright red blood flowers bloomed and sprayed on the ground like dancing rain, dyeing the brown wooden floor with a thick dark red tone.
Following the sound of "dong", the sound of "dong-dong" came one after another, as if some kind of object was in a continuous rolling state.
Beside, the Uchiha elder Yu Uchiha, who was sitting quietly on the ground, sighed softly and closed his eyes completely after seeing what happened in front of him.
"Lord Patriarch! What are you doing!"
"Uchiha Fugaku! You, you..."
"You are not worthy of being the leader of the clan if you attack the clan members!"
"Come on! Everyone, kill this beast!"
"ah!"
A series of intermittent roars and screams kept ringing in the ears, followed closely by more screams and screams.
Uchiha Yu's expression did not change. He just sat silently in his position, not looking or thinking, quietly waiting for the moment of the end to come.
Just like the so-called doves and hawks of the former high-level officials of Konoha, the Uchiha clan is also divided into peace faction and reactionary faction. Where there are people, there will be rivers and lakes. This phenomenon is inevitable.
