16 years old, fourth generation Mizukage

Chapter 184 Uchiha's Clan Association (5.6K two-in-one chapters)

"Father, recently, many people in the clan are talking about Zhishui, and some people took the opportunity to discuss you...don't worry about them?"

The shurikens used for training and the shurikens of Kaifeng were scattered on the ground in an interlaced manner. The young Uchiha Itachi wiped the sweat from his forehead, watching him with eyes half relieved and half tired. My own Uchiha Fugaku asked carefully.

"The matter has been spread, even if it is managed, it cannot be controlled."

Uchiha Fugaku sighed, walked up to Uchiha Itachi, and raised his hand to touch his eldest son's wet hair.

"Father...sir?"

"Itachi, you don't need to pay attention to those people's remarks. They just want to find someone to vent their uneasiness and dissatisfaction because they suddenly learned of the news that made them feel too psychologically disappointed..."

"However, before, they clearly supported Father's application to Hokage to exchange Shisui from Kirigakure, right?"

Uchiha Itachi raised his head slightly, looked at Uchiha Fugaku's face that could hardly hide his exhaustion, with quite unconvinced and unwilling eyes: "Put all the responsibilities that I have a share on, Father, you alone , it is too much..."

"Itachi, you are still young, this kind of thing is never as simple as it seems on the surface."

Uchiha Fugaku shook his head, leaned over and hugged Uchiha Itachi from the ground, and left the clan's training ground with the eldest son who was panting because of the high-intensity training beyond his age, and went towards his residence:

"Cultivate with peace of mind, Itachi...I will find a way to deal with the affairs of the clan. Although it seems that the current situation is turbulent and people's hearts are floating, in the final analysis, it is just because everyone has lost confidence. I don't want them to know anything."

"Something I didn't want them to know before?" Uchiha Itachi tilted his head and asked his father curiously: "What is that, Father?"

"It's nothing, it's just something that you and Sasuke can have in the future...but don't tell other people about this, okay?" A genuine smile.

"But Father didn't tell me what it was at all..." Uchiha Itachi puffed up his face and said sullenly.

"Your capacity is not big enough to hold that kind of thing~"

Looking at Uchiha Itachi's childish and cute little face, Uchiha Fugaku laughed and ended the topic, even after sending Uchiha Itachi home, he was about to face those in the clan who were already panicking, Not only could he not be of much help, but the clan elders who had been holding him back couldn't stop him from having a bright and positive mood at this moment.

……

Later in the evening, the meeting hall of the Uchiha clan.

Uchiha Fugaku, who was wearing his improved Konoha Ninja vest, walked into the chamber, and looked at the people who were already fully seated, all wearing the Uchiha clan's characteristic costumes, he passed through without changing his face. The passage left by the crowd for him sat on the exclusive seat of the head of the Uchiha clan, and then coughed lightly, announcing the official start of today's clan meeting:
"Presumably everyone knows that in the past few days, there has been a piece of information in Konoha Village that is extremely detrimental to the reputation of our Uchiha clan, and it is spreading at an alarming speed... As the elite of the clan, I believe everyone is aware of this matter. I have deep concerns, and today's clan meeting was held precisely to discuss how we should deal with this raging tide of public opinion."

"Because of the large number of people present, today's clan meeting will start with Elder Uchiha Nanto, please express your opinions in turn..."

Just as Uchiha Fugaku's voice fell, the white-haired old man named Uchiha Nanto paused his cane forcefully with a blow on his beard and staring eyes, and said fiercely:

"Hmph, although I don't know from what channel Shisui's information fell into Konoha's hands, but the fact that this supposedly confidential information was spread in the village is known to everyone, and the third Hokage Sarutobi is absolutely indispensable. Hirizhan and the two Hokage consultants, Mitomon En and Zhuanju Koharu, are making things difficult. They must be planning to take this opportunity to suppress our Uchiha clan, and use our bow to establish the absolute power of the fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato. authority!"

"Yes, that's right! Without the permission of the high-level Konoha, how could this kind of information be known by the ninjas of the Chunin and Genin ranks casually?" Yuki Uchiha, who was sitting next to Uchiha Nanto, echoed angrily Said: "We just made a request to Konoha that every blood succession family would make, but they intend to use Shisui's own mistakes to liquidate our Uchiha family. This calculation is too loud !"

"Whether it was Zhishui's own fault or not is another matter. After all, he was brought back to Wuyin Village by the fourth-generation Mizukage. Considering that monster's talent, he may not be able to survive in the past two years." In the short time, I will make up for my own shortcomings in illusion to the point where I can control Shishui."

Uchiha Genho, who was sitting in a different direction from Uchiha Nanto and others, shook his head, and opened his mouth to defend Uchiha Shisui.

"Xuanhuo, I know that you once faced the fourth Mizukage in that battle, and you were instantly killed by him, but you are a little too high on the ability of the fourth Mizukage." Uchiha Nanto Touching his pale beard, he said in a deep voice:

"The ninjas of the Kaguya clan have never had talents who are good at illusion. Even if that Kaguya Rei has the talent and strength not inferior to Uchiha Madara and Senjujuma, it is impossible for them to be in the field of illusion that their clan is not good at at all. In fact, it is better than Zhishui, who has the highest illusion talent in our family... Don't spoil your own prestige by spoiling others' ambitions here!"

"Then do you want to say that Shisui became a ninja of Kirigakure voluntarily?" The Uchiha elder sitting in the far left area suddenly opened his eyes wide, staring at Uchiha Nanto and asked sharply: " Are you questioning Zhishui's will and heart!?"

"Huh, Uchiha Yo...you are Uchiha Kagami's brother, of course you will speak from Uchiha Shisui's standpoint," Uchiha Nanto, who represents the radical faction, pushes back without showing any weakness, "But you Ask yourself, a child who is more than nine years old and less than ten years old, no matter how precocious he is, is still a child who has not received a series of training such as fighting against torture. How can he withstand the torture and torture in the blood mist? Brainwashing means?"

"Just because he is Uchiha Shisui, he is the child with the best talent and the most mature personality that our Uchiha clan has appeared since taking root in Konoha, none of them!"

Yo Uchiha, who represents the conservative faction, also patted the tatami next to him hard, and shouted sharply.

"But he is now one of Kirigakure's Seven Ninja Swordsmen! No matter how genius is, he is a traitor who betrayed the family and the village!" Uchiha Nanto snorted coldly, and turned his eyes to the people who had been listening below with an unfriendly expression. Uchiha Fugaku, who was arguing among the clansmen, "Patriarch Fugaku, you have a good personal relationship with the Fourth Hokage. You should have confirmed it from him. Is this news true or false?"

"Unfortunately, whether it is Jiraiya-sama who went to investigate the murder incident, or the information I received from the Land of Winds using the family's intelligence network, all without exception show that Uchiha Shisui is wearing a fog mask. Hidden forehead guard, as the representative of Mizukage and the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, came to deal with the attack and killing incident initiated by the 'root' organization."

Uchiha Fugaku reported a piece of news that everyone already knew, but was waiting for him to say it himself.

Hearing this, Uchiha Yoshi's face darkened, he closed his eyes with a cold snort, and stopped talking, while representing the neutral faction, that is, the clan elder Uchiha Kaito who had the closest relationship with Fuyue rushed to Uchiha Nanto Before speaking, he said kindly with the tone of an old man:
"Okay, okay, let's stop arguing about Shisui's voluntary betrayal... Isn't our meeting held to discuss how to deal with the public opinion in the village that is unfavorable to the Uchiha clan? ? Talk about business, talk about business..."

"Huh, what is there to say? It is nothing more than insisting that Uchiha Shisui's defection is his personal behavior and has nothing to do with the Uchiha clan, and then publicly hang out a reward order for Uchiha Shisui to express our respect for The traitor will never tolerate, isn't it over?"

Uchiha Nanto snorted angrily, squinted at the Uchiha jounin who sat next to Uchiha Yao and opened their mouths, trying to say something, and said with cold eyes:

"Still, you conservatives are still planning to let Konoha's high-level leaders extend their hands to our clan, or return part of the authority of the Konoha Police Force to quell their liquidation and conflict with the Uchiha clan. against?"

"Power is stronger than people. We don't have the power to confront Konoha head-on now. If we don't cooperate with such a bad thing, it will only make our situation more embarrassing."

A conservative Jōnin sighed, and said with a helpless expression:
"If you radicals want to fight against Konoha, you must at least come up with a clansman who has a kaleidoscope sharingan, right? If we don't even have a kaleidoscope sharingan, do we have to rely on the lives of ninja to fight hard? Konoha's kage-level combat power?"

"Jonin with Sangodama Sharingan on his body, if we are in a group of five, why can't we hold back a Kage-level powerhouse?" Uchiha Nanto's face darkened, but he still insisted on speaking.

"Are there no other ninjas that you consider Konoha?"

The conservative Jonin couldn't hold back immediately, "Even if the Jonin of our Uchiha clan is good enough, they are still very vulnerable when facing the enemy's siege! Not to mention that Konoha not only has multiple Compared with the top ninjas of our Uchiha clan, there are also chunin and low ninjas that are dozens of times larger than ours. If our top ninjas are all held back by Konoha's Kage-level combat power, what will happen to the middle ninjas and low ninjas in the clan? Killing by the neck!?"

"But if we make a concession this time, next time Konoha's senior management will let us make more concessions!?"

Yuki Uchiha took a deep breath, and replaced Uchiha Nanto as the spokesman for the radical faction. He opened his arms and said loudly to all the senior ninjas of the Uchiha clan present:
"Don't you remember? Our Uchiha clan is one of the two blood successor families who founded Konoha! Shouldn't we be the same as the Senju clan and be the real masters of Konoha Village? But take a look Now, where does our Uchiha clan have the appearance of Master Konoha?"

"Forget about the first Hokage and the second Hokage, they are indeed strong people who convinced us, but since the third Hokage, the situation of our Uchiha clan has begun to take a turn for the worse? More and more targets, more and more Narrow promotion options, more and more deviated from Hokage's position... We have been kicked out of Konoha's power center by people headed by Sarutobi Hiruzen who consider themselves Hokage's disciples!"

"Think about it, the fourth Hokage is the disciple of the third Hokage disciple, so when he gets old and retires, the person who becomes the fifth Hokage will also be his disciple. Originally, there was Obito under the fourth Hokage sect. The tail of the crane can be counted on, but after he died in battle, the only disciple of the Fourth Hokage is Hatake Kakashi!"

"It will take decades for the fourth Hokage to grow old, and we will have to wait for decades after Kakashi Hatake takes over. After five or sixty years, there will still be people in Konoha who remember that our Uchiha clan is also the founder of Konoha Does anyone else think that we are also qualified to run for the position of Hokage? At that time, what is the difference between our Uchiha clan and other ninja clans who joined Konoha later?"

"This is based on the assumption that the Fourth Hokage did not suppress us. What if he inherits the ideas of the Third Hokage and continues to suppress us? Do we have to be like the Thousand Hands Clan? The people of the tribe dispersed, and all the blood that we are proud of have been integrated into the civilians of Muye Village?"

"Can you accept this kind of thing!? I absolutely can't accept it anyway! And as long as we take a step back this time, the whole family will be dismantled by Konoha's high-level, and it will become an unavoidable situation for us. the future of!"

Uchiha Yuki's speech was clearly prepared, but no matter how impassioned and exciting he said, the people present could not ignore a problem that was still being discussed just now, that is, they don't have enough high-level executives to talk to Konoha There are masters who can talk to each other on an equal footing, and if there were no masters with kaleidoscope Sharingan, then the Uchiha clan would not be any better than the Hyuga clan.

Is the Hyuga family capable of resisting the pressure of Konoha's high-level under such a severe situation?No.

So in the same way, the Uchiha family can't do it either.

The biggest premise of the heated discussion here is the existence of the Uchiha clan.

Everything is for existence, and existence is everything.

Before being pushed to the limit, even the most radical person in the radical faction would not be able to say outrageous words such as "overthrow the tyranny of Naruto, Konoha belongs to Uchiha" in public.

"Then why don't we...while dealing with Konoha, we send someone to secretly go to Kirigakure and Shisui to have a contact?"

Seeing that the atmosphere in the field had reached a deadlock, a woman sitting in the neutral faction said in a low voice:
"Since Shisui can take the position of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen on Kirigakure, then the fourth Mizukage's perception of our Uchiha clan should be fair, right? Coupled with the hatred between us and Kirigakure It's not too deep, get in touch with them, and leave yourself a way out..."

"Seal this memory of her, and throw her out!"

"Shut up, Ayato! Do you know what you're talking about!?"

"Are you neutral people crazy?! Why do you even dare to bring such an unconscious guy to the clan meeting!?"

People from the radical, neutral, and conservative factions at the same time gave her horrified, puzzled, or shocked glances because of Uchiha Ayato's speech. When she dealt with her, who might not be so clear-headed, and threw her out, Uchiha Fugaku, who had been listening with his eyes closed in the patriarch's position, slowly opened his eyes.

"Aya, forget the fact that you came to the clan meeting today, go back and rest by yourself."

"Huh? Uh, oh..."

Hearing Uchiha Fugaku suddenly named her name, Uchiha Ayato subconsciously raised her head to meet the gaze of the patriarch, and then her eyes quickly became hollow and blurred, like a marionette. After nodding to Uchiha Fugaku, she gently pushed away the Uchiha clan members who had already surrounded her, and left the clan meeting scene on her own.

"Fuyue!? You..."

Uchiha Nanto subconsciously wanted to reprimand Uchiha Fugaku for being too risky, but when he met Uchiha Fugaku's eyes, he suddenly widened his eyes, and the black pupils in his eye sockets quickly turned into Sangouyu's Shalunyan appearance, with a face full of disbelief, asked tremblingly:
"You, you already have a kaleidoscope Sharingan!?"

As soon as these words came out, all the eyes of the Uchiha tribe looked at Uchiha Fugaku, and at his pupils, which had already formed a kaleidoscope sharingan with a pattern completely different from the three-god jade, and looked at them. Such a high-flying clan leader.

"Ah, I was lucky enough to open these eyes."

Uchiha Fugaku nodded, as an admission of this point, but before the radical Uchiha Nanto and others showed ecstatic expressions and made a speech that "Uchiha should be stubborn to the end", Uchiha Fugaku expressed flatly said:

"Unfortunately, I don't plan to implement the plan that Elder Nandou said because of this. In this turmoil, in addition to drawing a clear line with Uchiha Shisui, the Uchiha clan should also have respect for Konoha. As indicated, there are some concessions, but I will try my best to keep this concession within the purview of the police force."

"Why!?" Uchiha Yuki jumped up excitedly, pointed at Uchiha Fugaku and said emotionally: "You, don't you know that if you give in to Konoha's high-level once, it will only make them repeat again and again. And do the three places want us to make more concessions?"

"Because I'm the only one in Uchiha now, it's not enough for Konoha's high-level executives to completely put away their suppression of us."

"We need to wait, wait for the second and third Kaleidoscope Sharingan owners in the clan to grow up, only then will we be able to completely break free from the shackles imposed on us by Senju and the Third Hokage series, and become Konoha's true master, become the Fifth Hokage!"

"Second and... third?"

Hearing Uchiha Fugaku say such words with such confidence, all the Uchiha clansmen present looked at each other in blank dismay, and saw incomprehensible and unbelievable expressions on each other's faces, and then, Yu and Uchiha Fugaku had the best relationship Uchiha Kaito opened his mouth and asked Uchiha Fugaku carefully:

"That, Fuyue? The holders of the second and third kaleidoscopes you mentioned... who are they? What is it that makes you have such strong confidence?"

"Because my eyes have already seen that future."

Uchiha Fugaku took a deep breath, and went all out to face all the Uchiha clansmen present, and launched the pupil technique that resided in his kaleidoscope Sharingan - solipsism, who will be staring at his clan People were all brought into the illusion world that was deduced and developed based on the information he already knew.

"Welcome to the future, what you can see with the pupil technique residing in the kaleidoscope writing wheel. Only my consciousness."

Standing under the Konoha rock wall carved with the Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke brothers Liang Yanyan, Uchiha Fugaku raised his hands high and said calmly to the shocked Uchiha people.
