While Uchiha Tenxiu was plotting in his secret room, Fourth Elder Uchiha Kin, after discussing with Uchiha Tenxiu, sent his trusted subordinate Ash to invite several elders who usually supported him to come for a discussion.
At this moment, Uchiha Raimon knew that he had been ambushed and killed once, and if it weren't for the heaven-defying ability of the Sharingan that changed his death and allowed him to revive, he would have already been separated from his two daughters by life and death.
He also wouldn't know what would happen to his two daughters in the future, and whether they would be able to grow up smoothly after losing his protection!
Therefore, Uchiha Raimon's heart was already filled with hatred, but he usually hid his emotions well and didn't show them, so why wouldn't he want to slice the other party into a thousand pieces?
Furthermore, knowing about the traitor within the Clan, Uchiha Ming, Uchiha Raimon knew that for his upcoming objectives, he was severely injured and couldn't take much action in a short period, so he could only rely on his allies to exert force.
"As long as those few stand on the same front as me, it's enough to restrict Uchiha Ming. Even if we can't take his life temporarily, we can still disrupt his plans!"
"After all, what I need to do now is to pave the way for Tenxiu's growth and establish Tenxiu's identity as the heir.
While my body can still last a few years, I'll first let Tenxiu gain the support of these allies.
This way, even if I'm not around, with Tenxiu's growth and their support, it will be enough to handle future situations!" Uchiha Raimon thought to himself, only hoping his allies would have a broader perspective.
There was no delay, and Uchiha Raimon did not wait long.
With a Ninja's lightning-fast footwork, finding a few people within the Clan was simply effortless.
In an instant.
Ash led several people in a hurry.
Three figures followed closely behind, rushing towards Uchiha Raimon like a strong wind, each face revealing an expression of burning worry, quickly checking Raimon's physical condition like startled birds, fearing something had happened to him.
These three people, plus Uchiha Raimon himself, a total of four, were currently the most concerned about the Clan within the Clan.
In their hearts, the Clan's interests were above all else, and the Village's status was secondary.
After all, it was evident from the affairs they were each responsible for: one was in charge of the Clan's development, like the Clan's brain; one was responsible for weapon crafting, like the Clan's armory; one was in charge of distributing supplies and captives, like the Clan's logistical support; and one was responsible for food cultivation and storage, like the Clan's granary.
They were all main forces who fought during the Sengoku period and loyal individuals who risked their lives for the Clan.
However, these few people precisely formed this unique structure because they had experienced the trials and tribulations of the Sengoku period.
Even today, in the peaceful era of the Village, they still maintained close unity within the Clan.
Just like the Clan in previous years, the controversies and conflicts arising from the issue of food cultivation were only resolved with the support of these three elders, allowing Uchiha Raimon to firmly withstand the pressure from others and consistently maintain the Uchiha's readiness for war.
In contrast.
Apart from these few who remained tightly united.
The other elders, though still outwardly shouting slogans of "stability and unity" as the guiding principle for the entire Clan, making it seem as if the entire Clan was a single entity.
But in reality, they were just a group of "turtle" faction members who disliked causing trouble, disliked doing things, and feared creating incidents; they had become overly immersed in the current peaceful and tranquil atmosphere.
For example, Fourth Elder Uchiha Kin, who was in charge of the Clan's commercial teams, was like a greedy wolf, obsessed with doing business and making money, using unscrupulous means to win over people, and coveting power within the Clan.
He was the one who contended most fiercely with Uchiha Raimon, yet he was unaware that he was consuming the Clan's war potential.
There was also Sixth Elder Uchiha Liu Yun, who managed espionage and intelligence.
Uchiha Raimon had once harbored suspicions about him regarding this intelligence leak, but he had postponed investigating him.
Finally, the Eighth Elder, Uchiha Fengbo, who was responsible for part of the logistics concerning clothing, food, housing, and transportation, and also concurrently handled the selection and teaching of Ninjutsu, as the matters were not critical.
As for Ninth Elder Uchiha Yanmen, due to his excessive hatred and resentment towards the Senju Clan, he had always thought of rebelling, and was currently subtly hiding his strength, waiting for the right moment.
These were still considered good.
At least they weren't betraying the Clan from within.
But someone like Uchiha Ming, who was secretly embedded within the Uchiha Clan, frantically selling out the Uchiha, and still believing he was contributing to the Clan, truly made Uchiha Raimon feel disgusted and fearful.
"Don't worry! My injuries have been checked by the Clan's physicians; I can still hold on for a few more years!"
Uchiha Raimon waved his hand.
"How could this be!" First Elder Uchiha Feng's eyes widened, and he asked, full of murderous intent, "Who did it? Our Uchiha Clan must not let them go; we must make those damned guys pay for this blood debt with blood."
"Indeed, anyone who dares challenge our Uchiha Clan must be annihilated," Third Elder Uchiha Yue said fiercely.
Fifth Elder Uchiha Liu didn't even ask, stating firmly, "It must be those scoundrels from the Senju Clan."
"Indeed, it is related to the Senju Clan; it was that dog, Senju Tobirama, who incited it! Unfortunately, we couldn't get evidence, nor can we prove this to the Village.
So, since we can't touch them, we'll endure for now and wait for the future."
Uchiha Raimon waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "Besides, this matter isn't that simple.
Apart from Senju Tobirama's behind-the-scenes plotting, there's also a traitor within our Clan.
My intelligence routes were all provided by the Clan, and as a result, I encountered three waves of ambushes.
If I weren't so lucky, I might have truly died there this time! So, we should first catch the internal spy."
"Who is it!" 3
Uchiha Feng and the other two immediately widened their eyes and said fiercely, that anyone who dared to betray the Clan truly deserved to die!
"According to my speculation, it's Uchiha Ming.
He must have betrayed my intelligence, leading to me being ambushed."
"Why would he do such a thing? What good does it do him? The strength of the Uchiha Clan is so disparate compared to the Senju Clan right now; why would he want to harm the Clan?" First Elder Uchiha Feng asked, full of doubt.
In response, Uchiha Raimon used Uchiha Tenxiu's words to explain everything.
"What? No wonder he kept cooperating with Senju Tobirama.
So it was to sacrifice the Clan for the benefit of the Village, despicable!
If it weren't for Senju Hashirama of the Senju Clan still being alive, I'd fight them right now!" Uchiha Yue said through gritted teeth, his fists clenched tightly.
"Damn it! To have such a traitor!" First Elder Uchiha Feng's eyes widened in fury, and his fists cracked as he clenched them.
"The most urgent task is to restrict Uchiha Ming's actions and disrupt his plans," Uchiha Raimon said.
"Additionally, I plan to support Tenxiu to become the heir.
I hope you all can support him.
His talent is extraordinary, and he will certainly become an absolute powerhouse in the future to counter the hostility of the Senju Clan."
Third Elder Uchiha Yue nodded, "We have all witnessed that child Tenxiu's talent; he is both brave and resourceful.
If he can gain our support, he will surely lead the Clan to glory."
Fifth Elder Uchiha Liu also said, "That's right, Raimon, rest assured, we will give our full support."
"Alas!"
First Elder Uchiha Feng also sighed, "Very well, since you have made your choice, then we will support your wishes.
However, regarding the issues between Senju Tobirama and Uchiha Ming, with the Clan's current strength, it's probably impossible to deal with them all at once! We must take it slowly!"
"First Elder, I naturally understand these things! So what I hope for now is your support for Uchiha Tenxiu, and that you stand on the same front, isolating Uchiha Ming and slowly stripping him of all his Clan powers."
Uchiha Raimon nodded in satisfaction, then expressed his further thoughts.
Naturally, the three elders had no objections to this.
"With your support, I feel relieved.
Next, we will first discuss how to deal with Uchiha Ming, and then find an opportunity to teach the Senju Clan a lesson."
Everyone sat together, beginning to conspire their next moves.
A counterattack targeting traitors and external enemies was about to unfold.
