"Master Patriarch, what do you mean?"

For the first time, Uchiha Fenghuo showed his angry face towards Jiri: "Are you trying to kill us!"

Zhili's cold oval face never showed any expression: "What I want to kill are the traitors in the family. Eliminating all threats to the family is what I, the patriarch, have to do."

The defectors clenched their fists and stared at Zhili, feeling that she never mentioned them, but never left them.

The members of the Affinity faction were secretly relieved, and Chili's words made them feel at ease.

"We are also doing it for the family!" Uchiha Fenghuo retorted angrily.

"Today it's not us taking action against Konoha, tomorrow it will be Konoha taking action against us."

Jiri: "So, what should the Uchiha clan do? Should they listen to you or me?"

Uchiha Fenghuo was suffocated and didn't know how to answer.

Zhili warned: "As the leader of this clan, I naturally have my own judgment. I allow you to make appropriate suggestions, but if you want to point fingers, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

There was silence in the audience. At this moment, both the affinity faction and the defection faction were shocked by her momentum.

"I don't accept it!"

Suddenly, an unwilling roar exploded.

Bearing the gazes of all the tribesmen, Uchiha Fenghuo stepped out of the queue and approached Jiri step by step on the high platform. His eyes transformed into the three Magatama Sharingan, and he looked at her fearlessly.

"Uchiha Jiri, you disappoint me so much!" He gritted his teeth.

"I thought you were different from those cowards and had enough courage. I didn't expect that even if you become a ninja demigod, you are just a cowardly woman!"

The members of the Affinity Faction scolded each other: "How dare you! Uchiha Fenghuo, how dare you disrespect the patriarch!"

Zhili was indifferent and just looked at him coldly.

Uchiha Fenghuo completely ignored the clan members behind him who were scolding him, and only had Jiri in his eyes: "The real threat to the family is Sarutobi Hiruzen and the major ninja clans. You don't want to eliminate them, but you actually want to eradicate your own clan.

,You are so cowardly, you are not worthy of being the leader of the clan, get out of here——"

Zhili's eyes flashed red.

The next moment, a stone pillar rose from the ground and hit Uchiha Fenghuo's chest.

The Uchiha beacon spurted blood from its mouth, flew backwards like a kite with its string broken, and fell heavily to the ground.

"Lord Fenghuo!"

The defectors screamed in surprise and stepped forward to help him.

"Can you kill me?" Zhili asked him, "If you can kill me, I will give up the position of clan leader to you. If you can't do it, you like to talk stupid things. Let alone the clan leader, pigs are better than you."

Uchiha Fenghuo's face was extremely ugly when he was humiliated. Even with the help of his companions, he could not stand firmly. He said bitterly: "You obviously have such strength, why don't you lead your tribe to defect..."

"madness!"

No matter how cool-tempered Jiri was, she was now irritated, just like when Watanabe first joined her team, she was so angry that her chest hurt.

But no one was rubbing her right now.

"We only have more than 300 clan members, which is only equivalent to one ANBU in Konoha. What's more, there are so many ninja clans in Konoha. Do you have to see all the clan members killed or injured to be satisfied?"

Uchiha Fenghuo said plausibly: "If you fight with all your strength, there may not be a glimmer of hope."

"boom!"

Another stone pillar rose from the ground, sending Uchiha Beacon flying backwards and lying on the ground like a dead dog.

"Lord Fenghuo..."

"Leave him alone."

With one word from Jiri, all the defectors who wanted to save Uchiha Fenghuo were stopped.

She was very angry. If he hadn't instigated civil strife in the family because he was a member of the Uchiha clan, she would have killed him.

"Although our tribe is ostracized and hostile in the village, it is definitely not something that can only be resolved through bloody conflicts."

Saying that, Zhili took out a sleeve robe from his waist and clasped it on his arm with his backhand.

"That is!"

The Uchiha tribe's pupils shrank sharply.

"Hokage Half Sleeve!"

"The clan leader actually holds the Hokage Half Sleeve!"

Everyone was in disbelief at first, but when they came to their senses, their faces showed joy one after another, and even Uchiha Fenghuo's expression changed subtly.

For some reasons, Sarutobi Hiruzen failed to fulfill his promise and make an announcement in the village. Only a few high-level officials in Konoha knew that Jiri held the Hokage Half Sleeve.

"It's just Hokage, so what about Sarutobi Hiruzen, what about those ninjas, do you think I will be cowardly and fearful? I just don't want to see all my clan members dead and injured."

Jiri glanced at the defectors coldly, not bothering to look at Uchiha Fenghuo again.

Everyone was speechless. The few people who had complained about Chiri originally felt nothing but admiration and respect for Chiri at the moment they saw Hokage's half-sleeves.

The holder of the Hokage Half Sleeve is equivalent to the next Hokage heir. If Jiri becomes the Hokage, who in Konoha will dare to exclude and be hostile to the Uchiha clan? Who will dare to persecute the Uchiha clan?

"If one day, the Uchiha clan really faces a life-or-death crisis, no matter who the enemy is, without your instigation, I will naturally be the first to rush to the front." Zhi felt cold inside and continued to think about himself.

"But the current situation is far from that. We don't need any of our clan members to make sacrifices, and we don't need to use the strength of the entire clan to fight to the death with others. Do you - understand!?"

The last two words were like thunder, exploding in the minds of every Uchiha clansman. Everyone felt their scalps numb and goosebumps rising uncontrollably all over their bodies.

"Plop."

The bearded old man knelt down on one knee towards the high platform and shouted excitedly: "I believe that the patriarch can lead the family to the most correct path!"

"I also believe in the patriarch!"

The members of the Affinity Faction fell to their knees in unison, shouting one after another, and the excitement on their faces could not be concealed.

The defectors hesitated for a moment and looked back at Uchiha Fenghuo, who was seriously injured and vomiting blood.

"We also believe in the patriarch!"

They all knelt down and surrendered.

"From now on, I am willing to listen to the orders of the patriarch!"

Uchiha Fenghuo moved his lips, but finally fell silent.

Zhili's eyes were cold: "Since you choose to believe me, I don't want to see things like today happen a second time. Getting rid of family traitors is not just talk."

Everyone in the defection faction was ashamed.

Zhili immediately jumped off the high platform and strode out of the ancestral hall.

The tribesmen thought she was going to get something and would be back soon, so everyone kept kneeling on one knee and did not dare to stand up.

five minutes.

ten minutes.

Time passed by minute by second, and the atmosphere inside the ancestral hall was eerily silent.

"The patriarch is so domineering..."

Among the crowd, a little boy named Uchiha Fugaku felt pain in his knees and sighed secretly in his heart.

Not far from him, another little girl named Uchiha Mikoto looked at her.
