18 Uchiha’s new path

During the truce period, this time also existed, and at the same time, the ceremony of the succession ceremony also became complicated.

On good days and auspicious days, a new succession platform is specially built, bathed in fragrant soup, worshiping ancestors and a lot of trivial matters.

It’s not just Madara’s problem, but Izuna, the deputy clan leader, is also unavoidable.

After three full days of ceremony, the last step was finally reached: the oath.

Yes, it's something like Tsunade succeeding the fifth Hokage, standing on the top of the Hokage Building, and swearing an oath to the residents of Konoha below.

With Madara's character, he simply couldn't do such a thing.

Izuna couldn't imagine what lines Madara said when he succeeded to the throne in the original work, but now that he has himself, this is a trivial matter.

Standing on the succession stage, Madara faced thousands of Uchiha clansmen and a considerable number of non-Uchiha non-Uchiha surnamed non-staff farming chores.

After coughing dryly, he followed what Izuna taught him last night and said loudly: "Today, I, Madara Uchiha, assume the position of clan leader, and I just want to tell everyone -"

"As long as there are leaves flying, the flame representing Uchiha will burn, and the shadow of the Uchiha flame will shine on the clan and make new leaves sprout..."

Yes, this is the line of the speech given by Hiruzen Sarutobi in the future when he conducts pyramid schemes... ah no.

After Izuna took it out and modified it, he threw it to Madara.

And the facts have proved that this line is really good.

After hearing this, the eyes of the tribesmen below, especially the young people under twenty years old, shone brightly, as if they had seen a broad road leading to peace.

"Long live Uchiha!"

"Long live the patriarch!"

"The flames of Uchiha will illuminate the entire Warring States period!"

First the first one, then the second one, then the third one, and finally the refugees who were taken in by the Uchiha and the civilians responsible for plowing the fields and blacksmithing also joined in and cheered.

"That kid Madara, what profound lines can you come up with?"

Elders such as Uchiha Yukiyuki, who were standing in the corner of the succession table, stared at Madara's back and couldn't help but murmur secretly in their hearts.

When he scanned the back of Izuna on Madara's left side, he couldn't help but be startled, and a guess emerged in his heart.

…

After the succession ceremony, Zebra called for the top management without stopping, and early the next morning he was preparing to hold his first high-level meeting after succeeding as the clan leader.

Even if you become a clan leader, you still have a lot to do.

In the early morning, he took off his armor on the battlefield, put on a thick and solemn robe, and entered the meeting hall again.

Madara, who originally sat in the decision-making group, now also sits in the clan leader position, which represents the highest power position.

Izuna also sat on Madara's left side as she wished, representing the deputy clan leader's position as "deputy to the clan leader".

"Today, I officially take office as the new leader of the Uchiha clan. If you have any useful suggestions for the clan, feel free to speak up."

After Madara became the leader of the clan, his aura also changed, like a sword that was retracted from its scabbard but whose edge was revealed from time to time.

"The first thing to do is naturally to assign duties."

The second elder, Uchiha Tazou, said: "There were many casualties in the battle from Yunshan. In addition to the former clan leader, many compatriots in important positions also died in the battle. We need to replenish them in time to ensure the normal operation of the entire clan."

Although the jounin below are a little sad because of the death of many compatriots, they can't help but feel excited. This represents the possibility of promotion!

"Of course. Last night I discussed the new candidates for each position with the three elders and the decision-making team. If you have any opinions, you can put them forward immediately..."

Madara said, took out a list and read: "Secretary Officer, Uchiha Takahiko, Intelligence Investigation Team, Uchiha..."

A lot of positions and candidates were read out in succession.

There are very few people who object, because this is indeed a decision based on everyone's merit and strength.

There is no such thing as using public money for personal gain or going through the back door.

"Finally, the highest person in charge of Yunshan Camp, Uchiha Gakuye."

The last position made everyone look stunned.

From Yunshan, the dividing line between the Uchiha and Senju clans, one of the most important Uchiha garrison locations.

The top commander who was responsible for garrisoning there was killed in the battle, so it was natural to send a master there.

It's just that although this position is very high, it is also very hard.

This is natural. There, you have to be alert every day to be prepared for Qianju's surprise attacks at any time, but it is also easy to make meritorious deeds.

It can be said to be a position with high position, high reward and high risk.

For a moment, many jounin began to murmur inwardly.

Was this Madara's intention to put Uchiha Gakue, the man who had competed with him for the position of clan leader, in danger, or was it Uchiha Gakue's initiative?

However, before Madara finished speaking, he continued: "In addition, it is announced that the elder Yukiha Uchiha is old and will enter a semi-retired state from now on, and Uchiha Gakuye will be the pre-selected elder."

As soon as these words came out, the jounin who were muttering in their hearts understood, and had to secretly say that this old guy Yukiha Uchiha had a trick.

Seeing that his son could not become the leader of the clan, he began to prepare to push him to the position of elder.

Anyway, he himself was over sixty years old. According to the average age of the Warring States Period, he didn't have many years to live.

…

"Okay, the allocation of the vacant positions has been decided. The next step is about Uchiha's future development route."

Madara put down the list and entered the second topic.

The third elder, Uchiha Kai, suggested: "The three years of truce with Senju must be well utilized to avoid all wars and at the same time develop the power of the new generation."

Everyone nodded in agreement with Uchiha Kai's suggestion.

Uchiha are indeed warlike, but they are not Saiyans and will not fight for the sake of fighting, and death does not matter.

Uchiha was now scarred and needed to recuperate.

But Madara's expression was inexplicably complicated.

He had just become the clan leader, and according to tradition, a new official should be appointed as the leader of the clan.

For example, by capturing a small clan, you can show off your capabilities as the new clan leader.

When Uchiha Tajima became the clan leader, he immediately launched an operation northward and captured two small ninja clans in succession, establishing the majesty of the clan leader.

The fleeting complexion on Madara's face was naturally noticed by Izuna.

But in this regard, Quan Nai just smiled and did not show anything strange.

…

At the end of the meeting, Izuna also came up with the same trick that Konoha School would play in later generations.

It's just that instead of one jounin leading three students, there aren't that many Uchiha jounin, but there are many students who have to go to the battlefield.

One jounin leads nine students to train and learn actual combat.

The Kingdom of Fire has not yet been formed, and the entire Ninja Continent is controlled by many city lords.

They hired samurai, ninjas to do things they couldn't do themselves.

Although the routine of many later generations has not yet been formed, the matter of accepting tasks has already been established.

Even if you are not fighting, you can still use this as a practical exercise for students to practice.
