Chapter 202: Chapter 194 The glory of the family will surely be revived because of you!

At the same time, he was also a person from the Great Elder’s faction.

“Senior Souya.”

“Lord Gen, there is an emergency message from within the clan, and I brought you Sumi’s letter along the way.”

Uchiha Souya did not waste any words, pulling two scrolls from his arms and handing them to Uchiha Gen.

Even though they were fellow Jonin within the clan, and his age was more than twice that of Uchiha Gen, he still considered himself a subordinate in his words, addressing him as Lord.

“Thank you, Senior Souya.”

Uchiha Gen’s heart stirred slightly as he took the letter.

One letter was from the Great Elder, and the other was from his cousin Sumi.

He opened the Great Elder’s letter first.

The contents of the letter made Uchiha Gen’s brows furrow slightly.

Quite a significant event had indeed happened within the clan, and the events were linked together.

More than seventy percent of the elite from the Military Police Force had been transferred to the front lines, which greatly reduced their investigation efforts in Konoha, especially within the clan grounds.

This allowed spies to take advantage of the weakness to sneak into the Intelligence Department, steal a large amount of intelligence, and subsequently attack the ancestral hall dedicated to the sacrificed clan members.

Seeing this, Uchiha Gen couldn’t help but frown.

No matter how weak the Military Police Force’s strength was, it was not that easy to deal with, not to mention that the Third Hokage himself was currently stationed in the village.

The enemy was quite bold and capable.

Uchiha Gen continued to look down.

That guy’s goal was to steal the Sharingan belonging to the sacrificed clan members enshrined in the ancestral hall.

The opponent’s intelligence work was extremely thorough, and they seemed to have known about the situation inside the ancestral hall long in advance.

Many of the triple tomoe Sharingan enshrined in the deepest part of the ancestral hall had long lost their Ocular Power due to the passage of time and the exhaustion of vitality, but there were still a few pairs of Sharingan newly sent in recent years.

And all of these Sharingan had been stolen.

The letter stated that the old clan head had taken this opportunity to resign to take the blame, and even his physical condition had been exposed by this incident—after all, he had looked like this a few months ago, and remained the same a few months later, so suspicions within the clan had long been clamoring and could no longer be covered up.

If it weren’t for the fact that most of the elites with a say in the clan were on the front lines, and the voices in the village were suppressed by the Great Elder, Uchiha Hisaku would have already stepped down.

The outbreak of this incident completely made it impossible for him to keep sitting in his position.

Now the position of clan head was vacant, and according to the clan rules, power was temporarily held by the Great Elder.

His seniority and prestige within the clan were sufficient, coupled with the resounding reputation that Uchiha Gen, as the heir, had forged on the battlefield as his most solid support, his position as acting clan head was currently sitting quite securely.

It was just that once the war ended and those clan elites on the front lines returned, he worried that it would add new variables.

Regarding this, Uchiha Gen was quite confident and didn’t care about these so-called variables.

He was the biggest variable!

Strength was his greatest confidence.

In the face of absolute power, all schemes and tricks were worthless scum.

Now he already possessed the Mangekyō Sharingan; if he wanted, he could return to the clan at any time, suppress all opposing voices with absolute strength, and forcibly ascend to the position of clan head.

At that time, no one could compete with him.

If anyone was blind and lacked foresight, he wouldn’t mind using the fists of Susanoo to reason with them properly then.

Putting away the Great Elder’s letter, Uchiha Gen opened his cousin Sumi’s letter.

The letter also described the changes within the clan, but they were only what Uchiha Sumi saw from a personal perspective, not as detailed and in-depth as the Great Elder’s letter.

In cousin Sumi’s letter, there were more recent updates about trivial daily life.

He stated in the letter that since the Phantom Body Flicker Technique had been handed over to Uchiha Gen by him, Gen was the orthodox successor of Kagami’s lineage, and was qualified to teach this technique to any clan member approved by him, which naturally included Uchiha Mikoto.

At the end of the letter, he shared that he was engaged to Yuna and was seeking the opinion of Uchiha Gen, his only current relative.

He hoped that Uchiha Gen could be present at the wedding, so the date had not been set yet.

Whenever Uchiha Gen had time, it would be held then.

“When the war will end and when I will return to the village are uncertain matters.”

Uchiha Gen let out a soft sigh.

His cousin Sumi really treated him like family.

“I understand. What about the Great Elder’s side?”

Uchiha Souya asked.

Hearing these words, a confident smile immediately appeared on Uchiha Gen’s face as he spoke, “Then help me send a verbal message back to the Great Elder. Tell him that with me here, there is no need to worry. No matter what happens within the clan, I can easily handle it now.”

Uchiha Souya immediately hesitated and said, “Are you sure, Gen? I am not doubting your strength, but if you are too aggressive and make the opposing voices within the clan too loud, the Second Elder and the Third Elder sides—”

“It won’t happen.”

Under Uchiha Souya’s gaze, Uchiha Gen’s eyes lit up with red light.

The three tomoe accelerated their rotation and then turned into a pair of mesmerizing hexagram patterns.

“This is—”

Uchiha Souya’s expression suddenly changed.

“Mangekyō Sharingan—”

“Senior Souya, do you still think there is a problem now?”

Uchiha Gen asked rhetorically.

“No! Certainly not!”

Seeing this pair of mesmerizing hexagrams, Uchiha Souya’s expression changed vividly, finally turning into wild joy, and even fanaticism!

Mangekyō Sharingan!

As a Jonin within the clan who had unlocked the triple tomoe Sharingan, how could he not recognize these eyes?

How many years had it been? The clan finally had another pair of Mangekyō Sharingan!

“Remember to keep it a secret first and don’t let this matter spread. Although there might be unavoidable times to use it on the battlefield, it’s best not to let it spread for now, lest it reaches the enemy.”

“I understand! Lord Gen!”

Uchiha Souya said with a firm voice.

He knew that as long as Uchiha Gen displayed the power of these eyes on the battlefield, all opposing voices within the clan would vanish like smoke into thin air.

And as a person from Uchiha Gen’s faction, he would be able to gain massive merit as an early follower in the future.

“The glory of the clan will surely be revived because of you!”

“Then you go ahead and get busy first. I have other things to do as well.”

“Yes, Lord Gen, I will take my leave now!”

Uchiha Gen nodded slightly toward Souya, watching as the latter left with a body full of excitement.

He indeed still had things to do.

The one cultivating him as an heir was not only the Great Elder, but also Orochimaru.

Now, regarding matters within the camp, not only was the Nara Clan Head acting as Orochimaru’s deputy, but under Orochimaru’s cultivation, he was also beginning to learn how to handle related affairs.

Shortly after, Uchiha Gen arrived at the very center of the fortress, inside Orochimaru’s office.
