Chapter 388: Goddamit...
It had been a week since the events related to Fugaku's attack. As expected, Obito's challenge to Fugaku to be made the new Clan head was met with opposition from the Clan Elders.
But, seeing that Fugaku had agreed to fight Obito, many more members of the clan jumped in and challenged him to become the clan head.
Eventually, Obito beat everyone up before fighting Fugaku. In the end, Fugaku also lost but Obito did not humiliate him much and just let him accept his defeat.
But, the elders were still opposed so he beat them up too in a fair match. A small investigation led to the corruption some of them had committed. It was shown to everyone in the clan and the Elders lost their credibility. Obito was also very close to the Hokage and Obito didn't forget to remind this to them again and again.
They all realized that having Obito as a clan head was much more profitable for them all. Not to mention he had a Mangekyo.
On the other hand, the same could not be said about the Hyuga clan. After Hiashi changed the seal of all the members of the clan. The clan members asked for him to step down.
Hiashi did it and made his brother, Hizashi, the clan head and established the rule that from now on, the new clan head will always be chosen through a public election.
All of them happily agreed to it as this meant there wouldn't be nepotism when it came to selecting new clan heads.
Other Clan heads won elections as they were already loved by their people and remained in their places. But they were all clearly made to understand that now, they didn't own their clans. They were only representatives of their people.
