7 Chapter 7: Pride is not affected by time

[Boom!]

The Blood Flames slowly dissipated.

Fugaku's figure appeared a few meters away. He was kneeling on the ground, breathing heavily and looking a little embarrassed. He stared at Fūnan with shock in his eyes.

Rich combat experience! Extremely active chakra! The powerful Blood Flame! Skillful use of seals and ninjutsu! The most terrifying thing is that those eyes completely saw through his actions!

Even among the Elite Jōnin, Fūnan's skill was at the top. That series of blows, seamlessly connected, made him unable to breathe.

"Clan leader, do you want to continue the fight?"

Fūnan's light voice echoed. He stared at Fugaku with a lazy expression, but his eyes were extremely cold, and the bloody three Tomoe brought astonishing oppression.

"I have to say, Fūnan, you surprised me so much!" Fugaku's breathing slowed down and he said in a deep voice: "You are an absolute genius, but... you are too dangerous!"

His eyes became cold, and he said: "If the Uchiha clan is left in your hands, you will lead them to destruction."

Endless killing intent instantly surged out of Fūnan's eyes.

"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"

[Boom!]

The flames, even more powerful than before, rushed towards Fugaku. Fūnan's murderous intention was completely undisguised.

"No..."

Seeing this, Uchiha Kuroko couldn't help but exclaimed. The power of Fūnan's Fire Release was so powerful that it scared even him. Even the clan leader's fire release can't compare. He subconsciously wanted to rush forward but was stopped by Uchiha Itachi.

"Itachi, what are you doing? That's your father!"

Kuroko was furious.

Itachi said calmly: "You are a subordinate of my father; you should have faith in him. Of course, don't underestimate Fūnan-aniki."

In the last sentence, Itachi's voice was very soft, and his eyes were very complicated. The scene in front of him was something he didn't want to happen, but it was bound to happen. This was his helplessness.

[Swish!]

At this moment, Fugaku's movements suddenly accelerated, and he narrowly avoided being extinguished by the powerful fire.

Fūnan looked at Fugaku coldly, thinking. 'The chakra became more active and predicted my attack.'

"What's wrong, Fūnan? You're angry for telling the truth."

Fugaku raised his head and faced Fūnan with a calm look. What was surprising was that he had his eyes closed.

"Hmph!" Fūnan sneered and said: "I am indeed angry, but it's not because I was told something that was wrong to me."

"Oh..."

"What makes me angry is that you are obviously destroying Uchiha, but you don't know. If you were an ordinary clan member, it would be fine, but you are the clan leader. You tell me how dangerous this is."

Fūnan took a deep breath and said: "To be honest, I have no interest in rights at all. If it weren't for your stupidity, Uchiha Fugaku, why should I stand up!"

"Uchiha clan leader, look what you have done?"

Fūnan pointed at his feet: "Under your leadership, the Uchiha have been forced from their ancestral land, they can't even maintain their homes!"

"Don't look for excuses!"

Fūnan saw that Fugaku wanted to explain, so he interrupted him unceremoniously and said coldly: "The Uchiha clan has lost its pride since you have been in charge. For how many years our Uchiha heritage has existed, how many dangers we have faced… We have always been proud; it is only under your leadership that the Uchiha have been brought to this point."

The breathing of the surrounding Uchiha became heavy, and the three Tomoe appeared in the eyes unconsciously.

Being forced to relocate to a remote corner of the village is a great shame for any Uchiha. Even the dovish Uchiha are angry about this.

Their home! They lost their home!

Those people sneered as they walked away in shame, then greedily seized what belonged to them, stealing the Uchiha's honor.

"I understand your anger, but we cannot lose our minds because of anger!" Fugaku said solemnly: "Now is no better than before..."

Fūnan opened his hands and said loudly: "Uchiha are a proud clan at all times. We are the strongest ninja family. While we are Konoha ninjas, it does not hinder our pride as an Uchiha."

"Pride will not be bound by time!"

He pointed at Fugaku and shouted angrily: "Only the weak will find reasons for their own failure!"

The Uchiha watched Fūnan with burning eyes. They agreed with his words from the bottom of their hearts. Including Kuroko and others, they couldn't help but feel excited. No matter whose side they are on, they are all orthodox Uchiha!

"You are indeed very dangerous!" Fugaku said coldly after a brief silence: "You will bring Uchiha to the opposite side of the entire village. You are not arrogant enough to think that the Uchiha clan alone can defeat the entire village?"

That's absurd!" Fūnan scolded and said: "When did I say that Uchiha wants to go against the entire village? We have shed countless blood and sacrifices for Konoha. We just want to fight for our own interests."

"We have paid so much, not to mention being treated fairly, but we are still being suppressed!"

"It's ridiculous!"

"Why do Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others do this? Just because we are strong?"

"Besides, has the negotiation worked? All these years, Uchiha Fugaku, do you still not see it? The enemy has only intensified its hostility, has not shown even an ounce of goodwill towards us."

"So..."

"If you seek peace through struggle, you will survive in peace; if you seek peace through compromise, you will perish in peace."

"Your complacency has failed, so it's my turn. Let's take back our pride and honor!"

Fūnan clenched his fists and raised them high.

The Uchihas were breathing heavily and followed him subconsciously, clenching their fists and raising them high!

Fugaku was a little frightened.

In just a few words, Fūnan actually aroused the emotions of the tribesmen to this extent.

It seems that as long as he raises his arms and shouts, the tribesmen will immediately follow him to the Hokage Building.

Dangerous! Too dangerous!

Fugaku slowly clenched his fists and said coldly: "Fūnan, your thoughts and your actions are too dangerous. Your path only leads to darkness, I must stop you!"

"Hahaha!" Fūnan laughed. He stared at Fugaku and said playfully: "Although you say you want to stop me, in fact, clan leader, you also agree with my words. After all, you are also an orthodox Uchiha! "

The Uchihas all looked at Fugaku.

"Indeed!" In front of everyone, facing so many eyes, Fugaku couldn't lie. He said calmly: "I was very moved after hearing what you just said. If I were an ordinary Uchiha, I would follow without hesitation. But I am the leader of the clan, I must consider the whole family."

"Then stop talking nonsense!" Fūnan moved his fingers and said: "You and I, the one who falls, the one who stands, will bear the hope and glory of the clan!"

After Fugaku was silent for a moment, he nodded and said: "Okay!"

The momentum of the two people increased again.
