Konoha: Prepare to defect, the system is coming.

Chapter 613 The news that silenced everyone
"When Konoha was first established, Senju Hashirama was the Hokage on paper, but the one who actually exercised the authority of the Hokage was the Acting Hokage, Senju Tobirama.

After the Nine-Tails Night, the Hokage is still Senju Hashirama in name only, but the one who actually exercises authority is the Acting Hokage Tsunade. How is this different from the situation when the village was founded?"

"We started discussing how to produce a Hokage when Konoha was first established, and we have been discussing this for more than 50 years, rain or shine, until all those strong young men have become old men.

Now you tell me that we have worked hard for decades to hold clan meetings, but the situation has not only not developed in a direction that is favorable to the Uchiha, but has directly returned to the situation before the village was built? ? "

“That’s not the way it should be.

As time went by, the structure of Konoha would inevitably change and develop in a direction that was not favorable to the family. However, with the unremitting efforts of our Uchiha, the structure of Konoha finally returned to the beginning of the village. "

“Well, from another perspective, isn’t this a kind of success?

Konoha's situation had gradually gone astray, but after decades of our unremitting efforts, it has finally returned to the starting point."

There was a lot of discussion at the clan meeting, and the senior ninjas were seen gathering in twos and threes, looking through the wall in the direction of the Hokage Rock with rather melancholy eyes.

At each clan meeting, these Uchiha jonin would have a very frank conversation, fully exchanging ideas on the topic of "How can an Uchiha produce a Hokage?", enhancing understanding among family members and striving to reach a common consensus.

Clan associations are beneficial!!

Although the clan meeting has been held for more than 50 years, the Uchiha clan still has not produced a Hokage, but hasn't the situation in Konoha also not changed much in more than 50 years?
But every time they think of this, the Uchiha jonin sitting here suddenly feel like they have lost something.
"I now admire our predecessors from the Warring States Period very much." At this time, an old man who was about to become bald and was sitting at the front of the team suddenly covered his chest with his hands and said with a painful expression.

"Their clan meeting had been held for nearly a thousand years, and they had always discussed the topic of [how to defeat the Senju of the Forest]. As a result, until the birth of Hashirama Senju, the struggle between the two major ninja clans, the Uchiha and the Senju, had always been a fight in which each won and lost, and the situation was no different from a thousand years ago.

What do those seniors think of the clan meetings that have been held every day for decades, but the balance of victory has not tilted towards the Uchiha?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Uchiha jonin around him were suddenly stunned, then they lowered their heads in shame, staring at the patterns on the floor, and began to daydream.

Yes!

Those predecessors are truly amazing and have very good personalities. They have been able to discuss the same topic for nearly a thousand years, and they have continued to discuss this topic even if the situation has not changed.

"actually."

Looking at the tribesmen who were somewhat depressed, Uchiha Saburo suddenly took a deep breath and said slowly in an old voice, "Is it possible that during the Warring States Period, the average life expectancy of the tribesmen was less than 30 years old?
Each of them has been holding clan meetings for more than ten years, and their lives have come to an end?

As far as I know, the clan at that time would replace a new batch of members every 15 years on average. If the intensity of the war was too high, the clan would have to replace a new batch of members every 5 years.

In that era, whether it was the Senju or the Uchiha, there were no ninjas over 50 years old.
There are no ninjas who have participated in clan meetings for more than 50 years."

After hearing what the Great Elder said, the jonin in the hall thought for a moment, then a look of sudden realization appeared on their faces.

yes! !
The predecessors are not necessarily better than the younger generations. It may be because the predecessors died too early, and no one has had the experience of "participating in clan meetings for more than 50 years".

To be honest, if they were allowed to participate in this kind of clan association for more than ten years, they would definitely not get bored.

The problem now is that because of the one village and one country system, they have lived too long compared to the ninjas of the Warring States Period.

"It seems that the seniors are not necessarily better than us juniors. After all, if they were too good, the Thousand Hands of the Forest would have ceased to exist long ago."

"I was just feeling sad that I had held more than 50 clan meetings over the past 600 years, which seemed like a waste of time and life. But then I thought, the reason why our predecessors didn't have the same troubles as us is probably because we lived too long."

"Before the establishment of one village and one country, the average life expectancy of a ninja was only 30 years old. How could there be an old man over 50 years old? But now, among us Uchiha alone, there are countless old men over 50 years old."

"When I think about living in such a good village, I feel a little sad that the Uchiha cannot leave a strong mark on the Hokage Rock and the biographies of successive Hokages."

As soon as he finished speaking, all the Uchiha jonin in the hall raised their heads in unison and stared at the old man who had just spoken. The confusion in their hearts dissipated a lot with his words.

The old man was also confused for a moment by this sudden change, but when he came to his senses, he immediately understood what this group of people meant and spoke immediately.

"As the founding family of Konoha, I will not accept that the Uchiha clan does not produce a Hokage.

As a family that has been fighting with the Senju of the Forest for thousands of years, Hashirama Senju was resurrected once and served as Hokage twice, while the Uchiha has never served as Hokage. I am unwilling to accept this.

As a family that has been integrated into Konoha for more than 50 years, the granddaughter of Senju Hashirama has become the acting Hokage before us, but we are still standing still. The more I think about it, the more unwilling I am to accept it. "

"The most important thing is that the current situation is almost exactly the same as when the village was first built."

At this point, the old man's sharp eyes swept across the room, carefully looking at the tribesmen sitting here, and then his deep voice exploded in their ears, "I suggest you keep the second place and strive for the third place, and strive for the fourth place."

These familiar words instantly brought Fei Niao back from his distraction.

He looked at the old man with white hair and wrinkles on his face, and subconsciously rubbed his chin, "Have I heard this sentence somewhere before?"

next moment.

Uchiha Ryoichi stood up trembling, glaring at the old man who had just spoken. Because he was too excited, his voice became much shriller.

"The position of the Second Hokage was personally handed over by Hashirama Senju to his younger brother Tobirama.

Because of Uchiha Kagami's death, we watched helplessly as the Third Hokage position fell to Sarutobi Hiruzen, and now the Fourth Hokage position has become Namikaze Minato. "

"Old man, you still have the nerve to talk about maintaining second place, striving for third place, and rushing for fourth place? What kind of bullshit plan is that?
Decades have passed, and I haven't even touched the Hokage's chair once. Now the Fourth Hokage has white bones, and Tsunade is almost the fifth. You actually brought over the plan of "maintaining the second place, striving for the third place, and rushing for the fourth place" intact? ?

Why don't you change the name to "Secure the Fifth, Strive for the Sixth, and Strive for the Seventh"?

Snapped!
Under the surprised eyes of the crowd, Fei Niao slapped his hands on his thighs, making a crisp sound, and suddenly realized, "I finally remembered where I saw this scene. It was like this when I first attended the clan meeting."

Then, he looked at Uchiha Ryoichi, whose eyes were full of anger, and shook his head with some emotion.

"Back then, the old man was naive and invested money and effort in this plan. As a result, more than a decade later, the plan changed from maintaining second place to striving for third place. Then, a few years later, the plan changed from striving for third place to striving for fourth place.

With Minato Namikaze taking office as the Fourth Hokage, this plan has completely failed."

Thinking this in his mind, Asuka shook his neck slightly and looked at the great elder, Uchiha Mikoto, who was sitting on the high platform.

This familiar scene was almost the same as the first time he attended the clan meeting, except that the person sitting in the middle of the podium was Uchiha Fugaku, but now that position belonged to Uchiha Mikoto.

"Ugh!"

Uchiha Saburo sighed in his heart, then took his hands out of his sleeves, looked down at the two people arguing below, with a look of nonchalance.

He had seen this familiar scene often in his life.

The mental state of the tribe members is not very good, and they overreact when encountering unpleasant things.

Tired
"But I am finally going to die." Thinking of his short remaining life, the Great Elder pressed his hands towards both parties and said, "Elder Liang Yi, sit down first." "I won't!"

Uchiha Ryoichi directly rejected the elder's kindness and said through gritted teeth, "Old man, you proposed the plan to maintain the second place and strive for the third place and rush for the fourth place, which really screwed me over.

If I hadn't invested so much money in this plan, why would I have the audacity to eat Fei Niao's puffer fish?
If I hadn't invested so much money in the project, I would have taken Fei Niao to eat barbecue a long time ago. Why would I eat that poisonous pufferfish and then lie in the hospital for half a month?"

"Liang Yi, stop spitting blood and blaming others. It's obviously Asuka's first time making pufferfish and she has no experience. What does it have to do with me?"

"Bullshit, if it weren't for your crappy plan, I would have been so poor that I couldn't even tell the difference between a pufferfish and an ordinary grass carp."

"Ryoichi, don't panic. Konoha's situation has returned to its original starting point. My plan is not outdated yet, and there will be follow-up."

"Follow up your grandpa"

"My grandfather died when he and Madara-sama entered Konoha."

Pooh!
After wiping the spit that splashed on his face, Uchiha Asuka glanced at the two old men quarreling next to him, then looked up at the ceiling, and his mind slowly began to empty.

Same scene, same characters, same dialogue.
The Uchiha clan meetings are always so plain and simple. They discuss things for a long time and argue for a long time. Sometimes conflicts break out in the middle of the meeting and the clan meeting will end early, just like when there is a sudden power outage at school, and everyone rushes out of the classroom.

Before he came to the clan meeting, he thought the atmosphere was extremely serious and the topics discussed were all about how to become Hokage and the future situation of the Uchiha.

After arriving, Fei Niao realized that this group of people couldn't come up with anything to discuss after a long time.

The huge Uchiha clan is like a makeshift troupe. Today you come up to sing a few lines, tomorrow he comes up to do a set of Tai Chi, and the day after tomorrow the great elder comes to draw some big cakes.
"what!"

The great elder, who was daydreaming, suddenly shuddered and his thoughts were brought back to reality.

He suspiciously observed the tribesmen who were discussing heatedly below. After scanning everyone's face, he muttered subconsciously, "Why do I feel like someone is slandering me behind my back? Danzo?"

Seeing that the discussion was almost over, the Great Elder took a deep breath, pressed his hands down towards the crowd, and signaled them to be quiet.

"Everyone!!" Then, the old voice resounded throughout the venue, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

"The current situation of the Uchiha clan is much better than in previous years, but we will still face many difficulties in the future. I hope you can help each other and work together to help the clan overcome the difficulties."

"Okay, let's put aside our dispute and overcome the first difficulty of the family. How can the Uchiha produce a Hokage?"

After hearing the Great Elder's half-death speech, the noisy environment in the hall fell silent.

They all raised their heads, and after imprinting the image of Uchiha Saburo in their minds, no one took the initiative to ask what was going on. Instead, they followed the other party's wishes and began to discuss matters related to Hokage.

"If our clan wants to have a Hokage, we still have to start with other ninja clans. We have to win over allies first. Otherwise, when the vote comes, we will only vote for ourselves and we will never be elected in this lifetime."

"Shallow, very shallow. How can an ally be better than a younger brother? As long as we defeat those ninja clans, are we still afraid that they won't vote for Uchiha? If they vote with their feet, they can all become Hokage, right?"

“It’s a bit violent. To win others’ support with virtue and personal charm is the upright path.

Recently, those young people in our family who have good looks have been sought after by many young people, and the future will belong to the young sooner or later. As long as we beautify our own people, it will not be difficult to cultivate a large number of young people who are loyal to Uchiha.

I have even thought of a name for those glorified clansmen, let’s call them “Uchiha Youth Group”, after all, they are all a group of young people.

"You old man, what a bad idea! We Uchiha rely on our strength to make a living, not our looks. If you do this, how will those ordinary-looking members of the clan go out?

Damn it, you are splitting the family again.

If you ask me, we should revive Lord Tajima (Madara's father) and let him think of a solution for us with his extraordinary wisdom. We can also let him see the huge Uchiha clan."

"."

Hearing these old men talking further and further, Feiniao couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, and looked at the ceiling speechlessly.

Wow, even Uchiha Tajima is going to be resurrected, so are these people planning to resurrect the Six Paths Sage next?
After listening to those extremely unreliable suggestions, Fei Niao sighed deeply and decided to show them his skills and let them see what dimensionality reduction attack is.

Ok?
Seeing Asuka standing up with a serious face, the Great Elder's heart skipped a beat and he subconsciously looked at Uchiha Mikoto who was sitting next to him.

Although after two years, Uchiha Mikoto may have gotten used to the word "divorce", but isn't it a bit too arrogant to bring it up in public?

"Please listen to my thoughts."

As a low voice sounded in the hall, the attention of all Uchiha jonin was drawn to it.

But when they saw that it was Uchiha Asuka who stood up, their eyes became strange.

In the past two years, this guy has only made one suggestion at every clan meeting: divorce.
But in front of Uchiha Mikoto
"You've got guts!!" These people secretly gave Fei Niao a thumbs up, and looked at him with eyes full of admiration and emotion.

Seeing this, Asuka glanced at Uchiha Mikoto from the corner of his eye, immediately straightened his chest and spoke loudly.

"My suggestion is that you can ask Patriarch Fugaku to consider it."

"No need to say more, I'm going to divorce you!" Then, Uchiha Mikoto stood up and looked down at the stunned tribesmen below. Her expression was so calm that it was a little scary.

As Mikoto's voice gradually faded away, the atmosphere around them instantly fell into deathly silence.

Everyone stopped breathing at this moment, looking at Uchiha Mikoto on the platform with dull eyes.

The sky is falling!!

This time it’s really fucking spicy!
Uchiha Asuka's bad mouth is really bringing down the sky!
Damn it, the Uchiha family has been passed down for thousands of years, and the patriarch got divorced directly!
This clan meeting that can't even discuss anything actually caused the clan leader to get divorced!
at this time.

No one paid any attention to Uchiha Asuka who was interrupted. Their eyes were fixed on Uchiha Mikoto, trying desperately to find evidence from her that she was joking.

Even Uchiha Asuka who just spoke is no exception
He turned around blankly, staring at Mikoto's delicate face for a long time, and muttered to himself, "I really don't want the clan leader to divorce this time, I just want Fugaku clan leader to recognize Senju Hashirama as his adoptive father."

"Back then, Lu Bu chose to take someone else as his adoptive father for his own ambition; the chief of the Fujigaku clan could also take Senju Hashirama as his adoptive father for the future of the clan.

Even if clan leader Fujigaku refuses to acknowledge his adoptive father, he can still let his son Sasuke acknowledge him as his godfather. Isn't this better than a coup?
The position of Hokage is circulated within the Senju clan, and if we can't defeat them, we can just join them."

"Didn't we choose to join the other side because we couldn't defeat the Senju at the beginning, and finally we both jointly founded Konoha Village?"

“As for the shame???”

"Can the matter of recognizing a foster father be more humiliating than the Uchiha clan's complete defeat by the Senju clan at the end of the Warring States period?"
