Chapter 46 : Naka Shrine
The Land of the Uchiha Clan, Naka Shrine
The Uchiha clan members had gathered at Naka Shrine, their sacred ground.
Among them were village ninjas, members of the Uchiha Police Force, and ordinary civilians of the clan.
Currently, the Uchiha clan was overseen by three elders: Uchiha Tenzo, Uchiha Ryu, and Uchiha Shisui. Today's gathering was an important one—it was meant to officially confirm Uchiha Fugaku as the new clan head.

Earlier, the meeting had been occupied with internal matters, dealing with trivial yet necessary concerns of the clan.
But now, they had arrived at the heart of the discussion: the clan's relationship with Konoha and the confirmation of Fugaku's leadership.
Elder Uchiha Tenzo was the first to speak.
"Fellow clansmen, ever since the Second Hokage took power, our Uchiha clan has been pushed to the outskirts of the village, far from its heart. Even now, the suppression continues," Tenzo said, his voice firm.
The Uchiha Police Force was the most obvious example of this. While it was presented as an honor, in reality, it was a means of containment—segregation disguised as authority. There were even Uchiha members who sided with the village, acting as informants against their own kin.
Konoha's leadership had inherited the policies of the Second Hokage. They had turned the Uchiha against each other.
