"Tenxiu, I admit, you do have extraordinary talent in making money, but when dealing with important matters, you clearly lack initiative. You might think that the Uchiha Clan has never been recognized by everyone and cannot become the Hokage, so there's no need to care about this so-called reputation.
However, now that a candidate for the Third Hokage actually belongs to our Uchiha Clan, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! As long as one of us can become the Hokage, we can completely change everything!" Uchiha Feng said with a serious expression, his eyes seemingly already envisioning the glorious scene after the Uchiha Clan produced a Hokage—Konoha Village would become even greater because of their Uchiha Hokage, and everyone would know that even the Uchiha Clan had the ability to become Konoha's leader, guiding other clans and the Land of Fire forward.
To achieve this significant goal, sacrificing immediate interests when necessary is unavoidable.
"So, you intend to sacrifice my interests?" Uchiha Tenxiu sneered, not bothering to hide his contempt for Uchiha Feng, clearly having completely lost respect for Uchiha Feng's words, their former alliance already broken.
At this, Uchiha Yue had no choice but to step forward.
He had been secretly hinted by Uchiha Feng that he would be the Hokage candidate for the Uchiha Clan, supported by the entire Uchiha Clan, to become Konoha's ultimate ruler.
As the first among the clan elders to openly possess the Mangekyo Sharingan, Uchiha Yue knew that there was no one more suitable to be the Hokage in the clan than himself.
At this moment, he also had to speak up, saying, "Tenxiu Elder, everyone didn't pursue the alcohol incident last time. This time, if you take a step back, the clan will definitely compensate you in other ways in the future! You can't only remember that your surname is Uchiha when you're enjoying benefits!"
"That's right, Tenxiu Elder!" Uchiha Kin also said with ill intent, "You should know that your Uchiha Clan Military Police Force and Konoha Prison's outrageous behavior today made our Uchiha Clan lose face in front of all the clans in Konoha.
This morning, the Hyuga Clan Head's remarks made everyone aware of your actions as the five-hundred-million-dollar branch chief!"
"With you around, do you think our Uchiha Clan will still have a good reputation? Can we still become the Hokage!"
"Without me, there will be a good reputation!" Uchiha Tenxiu calmly retorted, a playful look on his face.
"Hard to say!" Uchiha Kin said faintly, "Otherwise, in this situation, even if our Uchiha Clan became the Hokage.
Based on the political decree passed today, only a Hokage recognized by the Jonin class is considered a Hokage. With your Uchiha Clan Military Police Force branch's destructive behavior towards Konoha, even if our Uchiha Clan seized the Hokage position by strength, it wouldn't receive any recognition!"
As the commercial environment of the entire Ninja World somehow plummeted in recent years, he, as the Uchiha Clan elder in charge of business, suffered continuous heavy losses. Under various unexpected losses, he blamed all the responsibility on Uchiha Tenxiu, believing that it was Uchiha Tenxiu's newly created commerce association that took away the Uchiha Clan's interests.
Uchiha Tenxiu was unaware that Uchiha Kin had actually stumbled upon the truth by accident.
It was Uchiha Tenxiu's frantic expansion of himself, various commercial United Commerce Associations in the surrounding countries, that led to widespread buying and acquisition of raw materials throughout the Ninja World, while simultaneously striking down existing commercial teams, causing them to completely lose their ability to develop.
And Uchiha Kin was merely caught in the crossfire.
But right now.
Facing the actions of Uchiha Feng, Uchiha Yue, and Uchiha Kin, who represented three factions within the clan, almost standing together to "persuade" him.
Uchiha Tenxiu was not afraid in the slightest by the trio's combined efforts, nor did he show any signs of backing down.
"What do you want to do? Remove me from office!" Uchiha Tenxiu said coldly, his arms crossed over his chest. "From the very beginning, we wrote into the Uchiha Clan Military Police Force rules that even the Uchiha Clan Military Police Force Commander does not have the authority to remove me, a branch chief.
Furthermore, as a branch chief, I have the authority to set management rules for my own Uchiha Clan Military Police Force branch based on local conditions. What can you do!"
Uchiha Tenxiu's small face was filled with composure, utterly calm, completely disregarding the other party.
Why?
It turned out that he had already left a special backdoor for himself within the Uchiha Clan Military Police Force from the very beginning.
At that time, the other elders were also worried that the First Elder, Uchiha Feng, the Uchiha Clan Military Police Force Commander, would monopolize power and kick them out of the Uchiha Clan Military Police Force. So, under Uchiha Tenxiu's secret guidance, everyone became concerned about the Uchiha Clan Military Police Force Commander's power, fearing that it would become a one-man show.
Afterward, the elders discussed and set this rule, even writing it into the first rule of the Uchiha Clan Military Police Force, stating that it could not be changed in any way!
This was also to protect their descendants, so that when their descendants inherited these Uchiha Clan Military Police Force branch chief positions in the future, they would not be easily kicked out by the Uchiha Clan Military Police Force Commander.
But who would have thought!
Now this rule had instead become their restrictive curse, leaving them with no way to deal with Uchiha Tenxiu.
This was great, the three of them were instantly dumbfounded!
"Is there such a rule!" Uchiha Yue turned to look at Uchiha Feng and Uchiha Yue, his face full of confusion.
He usually focused only on improving his strength, leaving Uchiha Clan Military Police Force matters to his subordinates, and simply didn't care about the rules within it.
Even when establishing the Uchiha Clan Military Police Force, he didn't pay much attention to the various management treaties and regulations of the Uchiha Clan Military Police Force.
Naturally, he was unaware of such a brain-dead regulation.
After all, how could a superior not only be unable to control a subordinate but also be unable to fire them, and even let the subordinate freely set rules?
What kind of brain-dead behavior was this?
But when he saw Uchiha Feng's darkened face and the speechless Uchiha Kin, Uchiha Yue immediately understood that such a disgusting rule truly existed.
Who was so brain-dead as to agree to such a rule?
"Uchiha Tenxiu, if you continue to do this, you will definitely bring disaster to our Uchiha Clan. Our Uchiha Clan absolutely will not agree to have the entire clan bear the cost for your individual actions. If you don't stop, then..." Uchiha Kin warned.
"Do you think I was scared into growing up!" Uchiha Tenxiu said disdainfully, standing up. Having already hidden his true body in the Heavenly Dimension Space, he became bolder and continued without ceremony, "In short, let's end today's matter here!
If you had talked properly, it wouldn't have been impossible for me to rein myself in a bit. Unfortunately, you want me to compromise without giving anything in return. Do you really think I need to listen to you!"
With that, Uchiha Tenxiu turned and left.
"Wait a moment..." Uchiha Yue immediately activated his Mangekyo Sharingan, intending to stop Uchiha Tenxiu from leaving with genjutsu, but found no pause whatsoever.
Uchiha Tenxiu merely turned his head and looked at the Mangekyo Sharingan indifferently, saying, "The power of the Mangekyo Sharingan, while powerful for ordinary people, is essentially just an amplifier. It seems my foundation is stronger than yours!"
"I haven't even activated my Sharingan yet!" With that, Uchiha Tenxiu pushed open the door and left the meeting room.
"Lord Tenxiu, have you finished discussing!" Uchiha Feima asked excitedly, seemingly already imagining the entire Uchiha Clan Military Police Force becoming as formidable as his own home.
However, Uchiha Tenxiu shook his head and said to Uchiha Feima, "Go back and dismantle the West Gate Branch of our Uchiha Clan Military Police Force West Gate Branch on top of our building!"
"Ah!" Uchiha Feima was stunned. What did Lord Tenxiu mean by this?
"Ah what ah! Just do as I say!" Uchiha Tenxiu commanded.
"Yes, Lord Tenxiu!" Uchiha Feima nodded, unclear of the meaning, but if Lord Tenxiu told him to do it, then he would just do it.
"Let's see what you can do to me!"
Uchiha Tenxiu turned back and sneered.
If the other party played by the rules.
He had already set up loopholes in the rules.
Completely unafraid of the other party.
But if they didn't play by the rules.
Then he didn't need to play by the rules either.
Although he deliberately left the Uchiha in this 'gu' breeding ground to torment them mentally and select the portion of Uchiha members he needed, he wouldn't deal with them harshly.
But that didn't mean he wouldn't do anything.
