Chapter 82: Uchiha Kitsune Launches a Coup!
After learning of the marriage alliance between the Senju and Uzumaki clans, the Uchiha clan decisively took the initiative and launched an attack on the Senju clan during the wedding!
The two tribes once again ignited a high tide of war.
It lasted for ten years.
Senju Uzuki's fiancé, whom she had never met, died in the war.
Originally, Uzuki's fiancé was on the island, but Uchiha Fox secretly contacted an underground money exchange and offered a reward for Uzuki's fiancé's head.
The gold exchange was incredibly efficient; they processed it for me without any problems.
The marriage alliance between the Senju and Uzumaki clans was forced to a halt.
However, Uchiha's actions angered Senju.
In the past, the Senju had always attacked the Uchiha at a leisurely pace, but now they have begun to attack fiercely.
The Uchiha clan was defeated as expected.
However, in this war, Uchiha Kitsune successfully rose through the ranks based on her military achievements, becoming a high-ranking member of the Uchiha fighting force.
On the other hand, Senju Uzuki had no choice but to give up her marriage to Uzumaki and become a fighting force for the Senju side.
However, it is very difficult for the two to reconcile.
------
The smoke of ten years of war did not bring any respite to the Uchiha clan. Instead, they slid deeper and deeper into the abyss in the shadow of defeat.
The wooden houses in the clan's territory are dilapidated and worn, and the grass and trees in the training ground are withered and yellow. The Sharingan ninjas who were once proud of their skills now mostly bear the scars left by the war, huddled in the corners of the clan's territory, and some even suffer from aftereffects.
In Uchiha Fox's view, the root of all this was never the Senju's strength, but rather the utter incompetence and utter foolishness of the Uchiha's higher-ups.
Inside the Elders' Hall.
Several white-haired, long-bearded Uchiha elders sat in a group, with war reports of defeat scattered on the table, but their conversation never turned to how to revive their clan.
"The Hagoromo clan is truly treacherous; they were the first to flee on the battlefield, which is why the Uchiha clan is in such a perilous situation!"
"In my opinion, we should reduce the supplies for the lower-ranking members of the clan and concentrate resources on the elders and guards. Only in this way can we preserve the foundation of the clan!"
"That Uchiha Kitsune was arrogant because of his war achievements. If he hadn't privately placed a bounty on the Uzumaki clan members, completely enraging the Senju, our clan wouldn't be in such a state!"
Shifting blame, selfishness, and shortsightedness—these corrupting influences permeated the hall.
"Bang!"
Uchiha Fox pushed open the palace door and strode inside.
After ten years of fighting, he is no longer the young man who was crazy in love.
Clad in dark armor stained with the marks of war, with a katana quenched with the blood of the Senju ninja at his waist, he stood tall and straight like a pine tree, surrounded by a chilling aura of battle-hardened warriors.
The crimson three-tomoe Sharingan calmly opened, the three tomoe slowly flowing, and with just a glance, the arguing elders in the hall instantly fell silent.
"Uchiha Kitsune, who gave you permission to trespass into the Elder Hall?"
The elder slammed his fist on the table and stood up, his voice stern, but he could not hide the fear in his eyes.
Today, Uchiha Kitsune is the most decorated high-ranking member of the clan, commanding half of the clan's elite forces, and her prestige far surpasses that of these old fogies who only know how to talk the talk.
Uchiha Kitsune did not bow.
Standing in the hall, his gaze swept over the aged and decaying faces, his voice was icy: "I have come to end the decline of the Uchiha clan."
"presumptuous!"
The Second Elder roared, "The clan's decisions are made by the Elder Council. You are nothing but a mere warrior, yet you dare to speak so presumptuously about matters of great importance to the clan?"
"A brute?"
Uchiha Kitsune chuckled lightly: "Ten years of war, you fought for power and profit, disregarding the lives of your clansmen—that is inhumanity; after defeat, you dared not face the oppression of the Senju, instead exploiting the lower-ranking clansmen and shifting the blame to the meritorious officials—that is incompetence!"
Uchiha Kitsune pressed forward relentlessly, her chakra sweeping through the entire hall like a tsunami, causing the elders to sway unsteadily.
"It is because of the incompetence of you that the Uchiha clan has fallen from a great clan in the ninja world to a pack of dogs that were crushed by the Senju clan!"
"Our people are bleeding, starving, and in despair, while you only think about preserving your own power and comfort!"
"You, you've betrayed your people!"
"Do you think we don't want the Uchiha clan to prosper?"
"We can't do anything about it! It's all over!"
The Grand Elder, enraged, shouted sternly to the guards outside the hall, "Guards! Seize this traitor!"
The palace doors were pushed open, but instead of the elders' guards, a group of Uchiha ninjas, all clad in armor and with resolute eyes, poured in.
They were all close confidants of Uchiha Kitsune, and were loyal soldiers who fought alongside him in the ten-year war.
They are young and eager to go further!
They had long been dissatisfied with the elders' rule.
"The Elders Council is no longer worthy of leading the Uchiha clan."
Uchiha Kitsune raised his hand, and the katana slowly came out of its sheath. The light of the blade reflected his scarlet Sharingan, making him look both eerie and resolute!
"Today, I, Uchiha Fox, launch a coup."
"Abolish the corrupt elders council and overthrow the incompetent leadership!"
"I will lead the Uchiha clan, out of this desperate situation, and to the pinnacle!"
"The coup begins! I, Uchiha Kitsune, take control of the Elders' Council!"
The elders were terrified and wanted to resist, but all their struggles were in vain in the face of Uchiha Kitsune's Sharingan genjutsu and overwhelming combat power.
In a short while, the resistance inside the hall was completely suppressed!
These elders' strength has declined; whether they can even manage a full erection in the morning is another matter entirely, let alone fight unprepared...
The once high and mighty Uchiha elders were all bound and collapsed to the ground.
"You're all nothing special. It's a shame your ancestors were associated with Uchiha Izumi. If Uchiha Izumi knew what you've done, he'd probably be turning in his grave..."
Uchiha Kitsune strode up to the main seat in the Elder Hall, turned around, and sat down.
The dark armor was covered in dust, and the crimson light of the Sharingan illuminated the dim hall.
His Sharingan peered through the wooden house and looked outside!
He saw the desolate clan land outside the palace, and the bewildered Uchiha clansmen.
There was no hint of triumph in Uchiha Kitsune's eyes, only a resolute determination as firm as a rock.
He was once an orphan of the Uchiha clan, viewing his clan as a cold cage.
But after ten years of war, watching his clansmen fall one by one on the battlefield and witnessing the Uchiha clan's gradual demise, that indifference had long been shattered.
What he wanted was not power, but change.
To change this corrupt clan, to change this fate of being at the mercy of others, and to make the Uchiha truly a powerful clan that its members can rely on and that can stand firm in the ninja world.
On this day, Uchiha Kitsune launched a coup, crushed the Uchiha Elders' Council in one fell swoop, and officially ascended to the position of clan leader!
At this moment, history changed dramatically...
After Uchiha Kitsune ascended to the top, she began internal and external reforms.
They actively sought to establish friendly relations with surrounding ninja clans, cease hostilities, encourage Uchiha clans to have children, provide subsidies to Uchiha orphans, and unite with ordinary human forces...
Uchiha Kitsune: "The orphans' allowance must be paid on time..."
Meanwhile, on the Thousand Hands side...
Senju Uzuki joined the council of elders and became the youngest elder.
In the same year, the Senju clan chief died, and due to power issues, the Senju clan did not appoint a new clan chief.
