Black Naruto: Shadow Moon

As the head of the clan, Uchiha Nagatsuru understands that the future of the Uchiha clan depends on the ability and vision of its leader.

He has devoted many years to this family, but now he is old and it is time to pass the responsibility to the younger generation.

In his mind, he already had a clear candidate - Uchiha Kagezuki.

Although Uchiha Kagezuki is young, he has already gained great fame in the ninja world.

Having awakened the Uchiha clan's Mangekyō Sharingan, he is far more powerful than his peers and is a true genius.

More importantly, Yingyue not only achieved great success on the battlefield, but also accumulated widespread supporters inside and outside Konoha Village.

Many younger generations in the Uchiha clan regard Kagezuki as a role model, and among other ninjas in Konoha, Uchiha Kagezuki has also won respect for his outstanding leadership and benevolence.

"Uchiha Kagezuki's ability and reputation far exceed those of other clan members," Uchiha Nagatsuki thought to himself, "The only shortcoming is that he is too young. However, young people have their own advantages. He has enough time to lead the Uchiha clan to a more glorious future."

Of course, Changhe also considered other possible candidates, such as Uchiha Fugaku.

Fugaku is a steady person who acts cautiously, but he is somewhat indecisive. Moreover, with only three magatama Sharingan, he cannot match Kagezuki in strength.

In today's ever-changing ninja world, the clan leader not only needs to be steady, but also needs sufficient strength and decisiveness.

Moreover, Uchiha Kagezuki not only received widespread support from his clan members, but even the influential Uzumaki Mito in Konoha Village favored him.

Uchiha Kagezuki's bloodline is not only the Uchiha clan, but he also possesses the Wood Release bloodline of the Senju clan, which gives him a unique status and influence in Konoha.

"Uchiha Yingyue is the most suitable candidate for the next clan leader," Changhe has already made the decision in his mind.

Therefore, Uchiha Nagatsuru decided to hold a clan leader election in the Uchiha clan territory to show fairness and transparency.

He planned to announce this decision at the family meeting and formally nominate Uchiha Yingyue as the next clan leader.

"The future of the Uchiha clan is in the hands of Yingyue," Changhe's eyes revealed a hint of determination and expectation.

So Uchiha Nagatsuru decided to summon Uchiha Kagezuki to explain the matter.

In a quiet reception room in the Uchiha clan's territory, Uchiha Kagezuki sat at the table with a calm expression, waiting for the arrival of Uchiha clan leader Uchiha Nagatsuru.

Although Uchiha Yingyue remained calm on the surface, he had a vague feeling in his heart that today's meeting was unusual.

Not long after, Uchiha Nagatsuru walked slowly into the room with a faint smile on his face, but his eyes revealed a firmness that came from careful consideration.

Changhe sat down opposite Yingyue, picked up the teacup, took a sip, then put the cup down and got straight to the point.

"Yingyue, you must understand that the Uchiha clan needs a new clan leader to lead the Uchiha clan into the future." Changhe's voice was gentle and powerful. He looked at Yingyue with sharp eyes. "I am old and my time is running out. It is time to choose the next clan leader for the Uchiha clan."

Uchiha Yingyue listened quietly, with no ripples in his heart.

In fact, as a gifted ninja, he had already anticipated this moment.

The clan dynamics and Changhe's actions all hint at one obvious outcome - he, Uchiha Kagezuki, will become the next head of the Uchiha clan.

"Master Patriarch," Uchiha Yingyue smiled slightly, with a hint of confidence in his tone, "I am willing to accept your proposal."

Uchiha Nods with satisfaction. He had already anticipated that Yingyue would agree, but hearing it with his own ears still made him feel relieved.

"I believe that only you can lead the Uchiha clan to a new peak. Tomorrow, we will hold an election for the next clan leader near the Nanga Shrine on the Nanga River. I will nominate you, but this is also your chance to prove yourself to the clan members."

Uchiha Kagezuki nodded to show that he understood.

Although Changhe's nomination was crucial, he also knew that the final candidate for the clan leader must be supported by the majority of the clan members.

He needs to demonstrate his leadership and strength to win the trust and support of his people.

"I understand." Yingyue responded calmly, "I will handle this matter and make everyone convinced."

Changhe looked at Yingyue's determined expression and felt more at ease.

Uchiha Kagezuki not only has the ability, but also the wisdom to deal with this election and the challenges that come with it.

"Very good, Yingyue." Changhe slowly stood up, patted Yingyue on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "I believe you will do well in tomorrow's election. The future Uchiha clan will go further under your leadership."

Uchiha Yingyue watched Changhe leave the room, and began to plan for tomorrow's election in his mind.

Although he was determined to become the clan leader, he knew that this was not just a ceremony, but also an opportunity to demonstrate his strength and determination.

The next morning, members of the Uchiha clan gathered near the Nanga Shrine on the Nanga River.

This shrine has been a holy place for the Uchiha clan since ancient times, carrying the clan members' faith and glory.

Today, this place will witness the birth of a new patriarch.

Uchiha Nagatsuru stood on a high platform, surrounded by several respected elders.

He raised his hand, signaling the tribesmen to be quiet, and then said: "Today, we gather here to elect the next leader of the Uchiha clan. I, Uchiha Nagatsuki, as the current leader, nominate Uchiha Kagezuki as the next leader."

As soon as he finished speaking, the tribesmen in the audience began to talk.

Uchiha Yingyue's name has long been well-known in the clan. His strength and military exploits have made many people full of expectations and admiration for him.

However, some conservative tribesmen have concerns about his young age.

Uchiha Kagezuki walked up to the podium under the gaze of everyone. His eyes were calm and firm. He looked around and then said, "Dear clan members, I, Uchiha Kagezuki, am willing to take on the responsibility of the clan leader and lead the Uchiha clan to a more glorious future."

His words were sonorous and powerful, showing strong confidence and determination. The tribesmen in the audience were infected by his momentum, and the discussions gradually subsided.

Nevertheless, according to the tradition of the Uchiha clan, other clan members still have the opportunity to express their opinions or challenges.

Uchiha Fugaku, the clan leader in the original plot, did not raise any objections, probably because he had not yet opened his Mangekyō Sharingan.

Uchiha Yingyue looked at the quiet place and couldn't help feeling a little bored.

He knew that although everyone outwardly obeyed his leadership, some people might still feel wavering and uneasy before they truly witnessed his overwhelming strength.
