"Hmm? What did you say?" Moonlight Thousand Leaves was shocked and couldn't help but ask again, as if he had heard wrongly. Wasn't the change of tone a little too fast?
Moonlight Putian had been greedy for the power of the clan leader for a long time. He had even coerced and bribed many clansmen to stand with him. How did it suddenly become like this today?
Moonlight Chiba was the heir of the clan leader. The reason why he did not inherit the position of the clan leader was because he was young and had not graduated from the Ninja School. The second reason was that Moonlight Putian deliberately stopped him.
If it was really like what this guy said, and he was the one to take the lead in the clan meeting tonight and elect Moonlight Chiba as the clan leader, then from tonight onwards, the actual person in charge of the Moonlight family would immediately change.
"I said that I hope you can attend the clan meeting tonight. At that time, I will elect you as the clan leader.”Moonlight Putian took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and spoke to Moonlight Chiba again.
Hearing this good news, Moonlight Chiba was not as ecstatic as Moonlight Putian had imagined. He just frowned and remained silent for a long time.
There must be something wrong with this abnormal situation!
This was an old saying that Moonlight Thousand Leaves had heard in his previous life. Although he could obtain many benefits by controlling the power of the family, he would no longer have to worry about three meals and could even obtain many cultivation resources. However, something unusual had made him wary.
When he saved Moonlight Shinjinosuke in the afternoon, Moonlight Chiba had used the transformation spell. It was definitely not because of this. There was probably a secret that he did not know about.
"Why?" Moonlight Thousand Leaves was silent for a long time before he opened his mouth. He looked at Moonlight Putian, who was sighing with his eyes closed, and his vigilance was raised to the highest level. He wanted to see some clues from his expression.
"You're the legitimate heir to the throne, aren't you?”Moonlight Putian said softly. His voice was full of self-mockery, as if he felt that all his efforts over the years were useless.
"I'll be there tonight." Moonlight Qianye muttered to himself for a while before he spoke softly. He would deal with whatever came his way. Even if Putian Moonlight was hiding something, there were still many people who sided with him in the clan meeting. He really didn't believe that this guy would play any tricks that he couldn't handle.
"Farewell." When Moonlight Putian heard Moonlight Chiba's reply, he smiled as if he had been relieved of a heavy burden. After saying that, he stood up and walked out of the house.
From the beginning to the end, Moonlight Putian had never treated Moonlight Chiba as a student who had endured the pain of school. The conversation between the two was like the conversation between two adults. However, the kinship between uncle and nephew had long disappeared with the years of conflict. This conversation only made the two feel like strangers.
"Brother Qian Ye, you're going to be the clan leader?!”The little loli Sumoku stuck her head out of the kitchen with an incredulous expression. Moonlight Chiba had already briefly explained the complicated ways of the Moonlight family to her in the morning.
"Perhaps." Moonlight Thousand Leaves frowned. He placed one hand on the table in front of him and tapped his index finger. Although he agreed, he still felt uneasy.
Time slowly passed. Looking at the clock on the wall pointing to eight o'clock, Moonlight Thousand Leaves tidied up her clothes and headed towards the clan hall under the little loli's slightly worried gaze.
At
this moment, in the Moonlight Clan's main hall, other than the ninja who was on a mission, all seventeen of the Moonlight Clan's Chuunins and thirty-one Genins had arrived and were sitting in their seats.
The Moonlight Family wasn't a big family. Compared to the 20,000 ninjas that Kimba had, these ninjas were just a drop in the ocean. The number of ninjas they had was even less than that of many new families that came after them.
Compared to their peak, when the Moonlight Clan had more than 10 upper ninjas and more than 100 middle ninjas, the Moonlight Clan had declined to the extreme. There wasn't even a single person who had awakened the blood continuation limit.
However, because the Moonlight Family was one of the first families to join Muye when the Thousand Hand Pillar and Thousand Hand Door joined forces to build Muye, they had something that the new families did not have. They had the right to vote in the Naruto selection and the right to vote in Muye's high-level meetings.
This kind of power was something that those new families could only covet. Unless there was a Shadow Grade powerhouse in their family, or the scale of their family reached a level that could not be ignored, they would not be able to enter the high-level meeting at all.
Moonlight Chiba walked into the open door of the Clan Hall. The Clan Hall was brightly lit. All the clan ninjas looked over when they saw his arrival. They had already received the news that he might be elected as the Clan Leader tonight.
The Moonlight family had a long history. Although they didn't have a caged bird mark on their foreheads like the Hinata family, it was still a system of the main family and the branch family.
After the death of Moonlight Chiba's parents, he was the only heir of the Zong family. He was also the only one left in the Zong family. He had forcefully included himself in the scope of the main family, but there were still not many people in the family who acknowledged it.
A month and a half ago, after the battle with Rope Tree, Moonlight Chiba's reputation had risen. In the past month and a half, the ninjas of the Moonlight family had heard about it. They had even heard about the first place in the actual combat this morning.
Moonlight Thousand Leaves was not affected by the surrounding atmosphere. Under everyone's gaze, he walked step by step to the front seat at the top of the sect hall.
In his memory, he had only sat in this position once, when his parents had passed away. Ever since then, Moonlight Putian had joined forces with many of the clan members to delay his succession to the position of clan leader. This was the first time he had stepped into the clan hall.
Taking a step forward and sitting in a seat that no one had sat in for more than half a year, Moonlight Chiba raised his head and looked at the ninjas around him. There was no fear on his face. This was where he should sit, so why would he be afraid of these people's gazes?
Moonlight Putian saw that Moonlight Chiba had arrived as promised, and his face showed a trace of relief. He slowly stood up from his deputy position.
Ever since Moonlight Chiba's father, who was also the previous patriarch of the Moonlight family, had died, he had been the representative of the family's affairs, so he was the first to speak.
