When Uchiha Madara was the clan head, the Uchiha family was a one-man show, and the clan meeting was merely a formality.
After all, the strength of Uchiha Madara was undisputed. To put it bluntly, he was undoubtedly the most powerful individual in the Uchiha clan for the past hundred years!
Unfortunately, the Senju clan, the Uchiha's sworn enemy, also had a formidable character who could suppress and defeat Madara.
In Kaito's memory, during the final decisive battle between Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama, both seemed exhausted.
Yet under such conditions, Senju Hashirama was still able to launch a surprise attack, suggesting that although their power was closely matched, overall Hashirama had the upper hand.
Even though the advantage was small, given their level of strength, this was still a significant gap.
Moreover, throughout their lengthy struggle, Senju Hashirama generally held the advantage.
So, the reason why Senju Hashirama was the First Hokage of Konoha, apart from Madara's personality, might also have been due to his combat prowess, right?
However, the Senju clan is no more, and while the Uchiha are still here, they have reached a dangerously critical juncture.
Furthermore, the Uchiha of today no longer have the domineering Uchiha Madara.
Actually, in Uchiha history, Madara might have been the only one who didn't need to convene a clan meeting, as no previous clan heads were as dominant as him.
So, the majority of family matters needed to be discussed at clan meetings held periodically, and only after these discussions were there considerations for execution.
While the clan head does hold a veto power and the authority to make decisions, especially on key matters, it's rare for a clan head to use it.
Kaito quietly walked with Shisui towards the Naka Shrine, both of them feeling somewhat nervous.
After all, what they planned to do that night was probably unprecedented in the entire Uchiha clan.
However, both of them were competent ninjas who could control their emotions.
"Nervous?" Suddenly, Kaito amusingly asked, "After all, tonight's events are not simple."
"I'm a bit nervous, but I believe everything will be fine with you here." Shisui inhaled deeply before slowly responding.
"Let's hope there won't be any chaos tonight." Kaito nodded and then continued, "By the way, will Itachi attend the clan meeting?"
"Under normal circumstances, he would." Shisui nodded, but his expression quickly turned extremely serious, "However, I won't let him in!"
This clan meeting was very important. Kaito and the elders all believed that whatever happened inside should not be revealed until the issues were completely resolved.
No one wished for complications, nor for news of this event to leak out and be exploited by those who might arrange ill-intentions.
Only when they had everything under control would they make a public announcement.
Uchiha Itachi, as a member of the Anbu and having made his stance clear, would under no circumstances be allowed by Kaito to participate in this clan meeting.
Even if he was the son of Uchiha Fugaku, or even if he possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan, it wouldn't make a difference!
The Uchiha Clan, a family that prides itself on the Sharingan.
In the eyes of the Uchiha family members, only those who have awakened the Sharingan can be truly considered part of the Uchiha Clan, and can possess a certain say within the family.
Therefore, to participate in this Nanhe Shrine's clan meeting, one must meet a prerequisite,
Only those who have awakened the Sharingan are eligible to appear here and participate in the meeting.
"It's a tough job for you." Kaito lightly smiled at Shisui, then took a deep breath and said seriously: "We're here. Let's go and create an era that belongs to us!"
As his words fell, Kaito took the lead in pushing open the door, and Shisui, taking this seriously, nodded and followed him inside.
As the doors swung open, the Uchiha clan members already seated within the shrine couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Kaito and Shisui.
However, upon seeing Kaito and Shisui, they involuntarily averted their gaze, then slightly lowered their heads, not daring to make eye contact with the two.
Shisui's reputation was well-known within the family, and both the spirits and bloods young people had to admit his prowess.
Especially the members of the spirit faction, they were even more aware of Shisui's strength and his status in the Uchiha Clan.
As for Uchiha Kaito, even though he had been on par with Shisui since they were young, this started to change when he chose to become a mission ninja instead of joining any of the family's factions or even the security department.
Kaito's name began to gradually fade within the clan. Even though the young people in their group still had a good impression of him, they all shared one understanding.
That was that Kaito probably wouldn't be able to catch up with Shisui. No matter how good their relationship was, the gap between them would only grow wider.
However, what was beyond everyone's wildest dreams was that Kaito had undergone drastic changes starting a few months ago.
Then, he even inexplicably gained Shisui's support, earned the elders' trust, and most importantly, he turned out to be an Uchiha with the Mangekyou Sharingan!
This information left them all utterly flabbergasted, and what was even more shocking was that even those bloods surprisingly chose to support him.
And those fellows even cooperated with their side, altering many of their original entrenched beliefs!
All these changes happened so swiftly that it was hard for anyone to keep up.
The most unimaginable thing for them was that what they were about to do was to overthrow the incumbent clan leader and allow Kaito, a fifteen-year-old boy, to become the new clan leader!
But they had to admit that after hearing the elders and Shisui tell them about Kaito's views, they too felt that Kaito was right.
The Uchiha indeed needed to change, their current clan leader was indeed unfit, and they indeed needed to do something.
The people of the spirit faction already had such thoughts and had accepted Kaito, so it goes without saying for the people of the blood faction.
After all, those among them who could sit here had all been taught a lesson by Kaito, and they had personally witnessed Kaito's Mangekyou Sharingan!
They would probably never forget the strange patterns in Kaito's eyes, nor the bright blue, human-shaped Susano'o that covered him.
That night, Kaito was like an Asura, and that night, their confidence was utterly shattered by him!
Now they all support Kaito, not only because Kaito's words and thoughts made them understand their problems, but more importantly, Kaito's strength was worth their following.
And in the room, the only one who looked a bit serious was Uchiha Fugaku, who was seated in the clan leader's position.
He stared at Kaito, stared at Shisui, his mind filled with myriad thoughts...
