Konoha: Prepare to defect, the system is coming.

Chapter 670 See you again!!
As time passed, the atmosphere in Konoha or the entire ninja world gradually became tense.

By now almost everyone has learned the news that the five major ninja villages are about to form a joint force to go to war with a certain force, and the atmosphere within the five major ninja villages, which are the parties involved, is even more depressing.

It was the day after Fei Niao returned.

The village then made public the contents of the Five Kage Conference, except for some details about the enemy's strength.

After all, an organization with seven tailed beasts, the Sage's Eye, and more than a dozen powerful rebel ninjas is too powerful and can easily cause unrest in the hearts of the villagers.

The bird flew through the bustling streets, its eyes inadvertently passing over the tribesmen who had worried and panicked looks on their faces.

The eyes of the tribesmen revealed anxiety and fear about the future, and the air around them was filled with a depressing atmosphere.

"Hey, is this the last clan meeting?" Thinking of the temporary notice he received, he turned around and walked towards the southern shrine.

Although today was not the day for a clan meeting, the great elder suddenly went crazy and knocked on his door early in the morning and told him that the clan meeting would be held in a while.

"I don't know what will be discussed at this conference. They can't possibly discuss whether or not a Hokage can be elected, right?" Asuka couldn't help but murmured, "But who knows, those guys might also discuss this."

"What are you mumbling about?" Liang Yi caught up with him from behind, with a hint of curiosity in his voice.

Asuka looked at the azure blue sky and replied.

"I'm just curious about what will be discussed at this clan meeting."

Hearing this, Ryoichi turned around and looked at the clan jonin who were gradually gathering on the avenue behind him, with a complicated look in his eyes, "Sanlang felt that after this war, many people might not be able to attend the clan meeting anymore, so he decided to gather everyone in advance to hold this last clan meeting."

After hearing these words, Fei Niao couldn't help but remain silent.

Maybe in the entire ninja world, everyone except him is very pessimistic now.

They were not optimistic about the Fourth Ninja World War, nor did they easily believe that the five major ninja villages could easily crush the enemy. Otherwise, the five major ninja villages would not have to put aside their grudges and unite together.

at the same time.

Nanwa Shrine.

The Great Elder stood at the door with a cane in hand and a hunched back, staring blankly at the end of the road, just like when he was a child, standing here and fantasizing that one day in the future he would be able to attend the Uchiha clan meeting.

As a result, I participated for a full 53 years.

Soon, a tall figure in a gray robe suddenly appeared on the originally empty road. The Uchiha clan emblem on his shoulder emitted a golden glow under the morning sun.

When the man came closer, the great elder recognized his identity and spoke in a hoarse old voice.

"Uchiha Eighth Generation!!"

Uchiha Yashiro nodded, then stood aside with a serious expression, taking on the role of temporary guard.

A minute later, another blue figure came into view. The elder stared at him for a moment and slowly read out the other person's name.

"Uchiha Inahime!"

"Grand Elder!" Uchiha Inahiri replied respectfully, and then stood beside the Grand Elder, side by side with the Eighth Dai, temporarily acting as the Grand Elder's guard.

As time went by, more and more figures gradually gathered on the empty road. They walked towards the shrine with heavy steps, facing the rising sun.

They seemed to know what was about to happen. No one had the smile on their face as they did during previous clan meetings. Instead, there was only seriousness and coldness on their faces.

As more and more people gathered around the Great Elder, fewer and fewer people appeared on the road.

When there were only two lonely figures left on the huge road, the Great Elder took a deep breath. His originally hoarse voice became even hoarser due to talking too much.

"Uchiha Ryoichi, Uchiha Asuka."

"Grand Elder!" Liang Yi saluted the other party respectfully, and his whole body exuded a serious temperament from the inside out.

"Almost everyone has arrived. Let's hold today's clan meeting outside!" The great elder swept his sharp eyes over the Uchiha jonin beside him, then threw away his crutches, sat down cross-legged, and an aura of majesty instantly spread.

Seeing this, the people around had no objection. They also sat cross-legged on the ground, looking at the great elder with serious expressions.

A breeze blew by, taking away the heavy atmosphere in the air and bringing a hint of freshness.

Uchiha Saburo looked at the familiar faces of the people around him. Many of them were as old as he was now, while some were as energetic as Asuka and Shisui.

"Uchiha"

Uchiha Saburo retracted his gaze and said in a hoarse voice, "I believe you are all aware of the upcoming Fourth Shinobi World War and are ready to go to the battlefield."

Everyone nodded expressionlessly.

The village has not yet issued a clear list of participants, but everyone present knows that their names will definitely be on the list.

Then, the great elder changed the subject and said solemnly, "This enemy can only be dealt with by the combined efforts of the five great ninja villages. I'm sure you are well aware of the danger involved."

After saying that, he turned his head and looked at Uchiha Asuka with a questioning look in his eyes.

Asuka took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "The enemy's strength is indeed beyond everyone's expectations, and compared to the previous three Ninja World Wars, the danger is more than one level higher.

The five major ninja villages have less than a 50% chance of winning this time."

As soon as these words were spoken, the air suddenly became heavy.

Everyone looked at each other, and after seeing the shock in each other's eyes, they opened their mouths to say something, but in the end they lowered their heads, stared at the floor under their feet, and said nothing.

"Ha~"

Noticing the changes in the emotions of the tribesmen around him, the great elder chuckled, then got a blackboard from somewhere and used a branch to knock on the chalk words on it, making a continuous crisp sound of "dong dong dong".

Suddenly, everyone looked over.

I saw a few big words written on the blackboard with vigorous chalk.

[Uchiha, how can a Hokage be born]

The Great Elder stared at the chalk words he had written for a long time. He then turned around and looked at the group of young people in front of him. Suddenly, a look of reminiscence flashed in his eyes, and he spoke as he recalled the past.

"When the previous clan leader participated in the Second Ninja World War, the village's top leaders promised that as long as they could resist the enemy's attack, they would allow the clan to enter the decision-making level and have the power to make decisions on major village affairs, instead of only having the power of execution as it is now.

Later, the previous clan leader led the family to the front line, where nearly half of the clan members died and blocked the enemy's attack."

"During the Third Shinobi World War, the current clan leader was secretly promised by the village's top leaders that as long as he could resist the attack of the Hidden Mist Village, he would be given a spot as a candidate for Hokage and secretly supported when he returned.

Later, Fugaku, like the previous patriarch, led the family to resist the attack from the Hidden Mist Village with difficulty. "

"But twice the promise was made, and both times the village failed to deliver. And we Uchiha paid a huge sacrifice for it, which led to a sharp decrease in the number of Jonin, Chunin, and Genin in the clan."

Hearing this, the people around clenched their fists and couldn't help but reveal indignation in their eyes.

One third of them had experienced the Second World War and naturally knew what the Great Elder said. Almost all of them had experienced the Third World War and also knew that after the end of the Third World War, the Uchiha gained nothing.

"Great Elder, let's just stage a coup!" At this moment, a strong voice instantly broke the silent atmosphere.

A bearded man stood up, turned around and looked in the direction of the Hokage Building, and said with a ferocious expression, "When the Fourth Ninja World War begins, we will stage a coup and we will definitely be able to seize the position of Hokage."

All of a sudden, everyone around turned their heads and looked over there in confusion.

Even the great elder did not expect such a strange person to appear in the family. He stroked his beard with one hand and said speechlessly, "You really know how to pick the right time. You took advantage of the emptiness in the village to stage a coup."

"Great Elder, do you agree?" The man said with his eyes wide open and a look of surprise.

The Great Elder nodded slightly, then pointed at Fei Niao and ordered, "Take him out and beat him up. There's something wrong with his brain and he can't tell the priorities.

If I were ten years younger, I would have done it myself."

After Asuka dragged the man away, Uchiha Saburo looked at the family's jonin again, carefully scanning each of them, trying to see if they also had the idea of ​​a coup at this time.

Call ~
After observing for a while, the elder let out a long breath and continued, "During the Second and Third Ninja World Wars, the village made a promise to us and asked us to go all out.

However, in the end, these promises were not fulfilled.”

Everyone's breathing paused slightly, and then they fell into silence. The square of Nanhe Shrine instantly became silent.

Even the elders sitting in the front didn't know what to say at this moment.

At the beginning, they really fought for that illusory "promise", and later when they learned that the village did not recognize it, they were angry, complained, and even wanted to stage a coup, but in the end they were all suppressed by the great elder.

"Cough cough~"

Sensing the resentment in the crowd, the great elder coughed a few times, and his hoarse voice finally recovered a little, "The clan leader didn't come this time, he has already left before us!"

"Has Uchiha Fugaku already set off?" Uchiha Asuka, who had just come back from jogging, put his feet together and suddenly stopped where he was, looking around in some surprise. Originally, they thought that Fugaku didn't come because he simply didn't want to come, but they never thought that guy actually set off before them.

Seeing the confusion in everyone's eyes, Uchiha Saburo recalled the scene before Fugaku set out yesterday and explained.

"Because he was played by the higher-ups during the Third Ninja World War, he was too embarrassed to take us to die again, so he chose to go ahead and follow the reconnaissance team to the border."

"Scouting unit?" A thin jonin suddenly blinked and said in confusion, "Why didn't I know the clan leader also knew about scouting? Shouldn't it be a combat unit?"

"Our family's reconnaissance ability is a little weak, but it's not non-existent. The insight of the Sharingan is second only to the Byakugan!" another Jonin retorted.

"Come on, family members know their own business. Our reconnaissance capabilities are far inferior to those of the Hinata, Aburame, and Inuzuka." He couldn't help rolling his eyes as he spoke at the beginning and directly exposed the Uchiha's past.

At this time, an old man suddenly narrowed his eyes and said thoughtfully, "I have heard recently that the clan leader is very close to those dog breeders, especially the clan leader of the Inuzuka clan.

You guys, is there a possibility that the clan leader ran away with that woman?"

Great Elder: "."

Asuka: "."

Everyone: "."

They looked at each other, then simultaneously looked away, each looking elsewhere, unable to help but mutter in their hearts, "He probably won't run away, but joining the reconnaissance unit must have other intentions.

After all, compared to those families, the Uchiha are really not good at reconnaissance."

The Great Elder stood up at this time, a sharp light flashed in his turbid eyes. He glanced at all the senior ninjas sitting here and imprinted these people's faces deeply in his mind.

dong dong dong! !

He reached out and tapped the chalk words on the blackboard. After attracting everyone's attention, he said in a deep voice, "Do you remember the original purpose of our Uchiha joining Konoha?"

"Remember, for survival and when you are tired of endless and unwinnable battles." A jonin said without thinking.

In the battle with the Senju clan at the end of the Warring States period, the two sides were evenly matched at the beginning, but with the passing of the clan leaders of both sides, Madara and Hashirama became the clan leaders of their respective families, and the balance slowly tilted towards the Senju clan.

When the war reached its later stages, the Uchiha clan had a hard time winning even once, and the clan gradually became tired of the war, which led to a major split in the family.

"That's right!!"

The Great Elder nodded slightly and said, "The original purpose of Uchiha joining Konoha was not for peace or construction, nor for protecting future generations, that was only the idea of ​​Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama.

The reason we chose to compete for the position of Hokage later was not for power or desire; that was just the idea of ​​Danzo and others.

Uchiha's purpose.

From the beginning to the end, from the end of the Warring States Period to the present, it has not changed.

That is survival, so that the family can continue to exist better and avoid the crisis of destruction! ! "

Uchiha Saburo's voice gradually changed from low to high, he clenched his fists and stared at the direction of the Rain Country, "But now, someone wants to destroy the ninja world and completely wipe out the Uchiha clan.

Damn it, you look down on us! You want to dig up our ancestors' graves completely!

We all know that this war will be extremely brutal; we all know that the village has not made any promises in this war; we also know that this war may be the last war we experience.

But if you want to protect your family and companions, if you want to swear to defend the honor of your family, then be prepared to die on the battlefield with me.

The outcome of the Fourth Ninja World War may very well depend on what we Uchiha do!! "

These words instantly ignited the passion of everyone present.

Countless originally dark pupils suddenly turned scarlet at this moment. Three pitch-black magatama spun rapidly in the eye sockets, releasing bursts of fierce murderous aura that permeated the entire square.

The Great Elder paused, he looked at the excited crowd, and said in a hoarse voice with some determination, "Next, I will lead you. After I die, the Second Elder will take over, and after the Second Elder dies, the Third Elder will take over, and so on, until the family dies out."

"Yes!"

All the jonin responded in unison, and their expressions no longer showed any dissatisfaction with the village or resentment for being cheated in the previous Ninja World Wars.

In the previous few Ninja World Wars, the Uchiha were not in danger of extinction. They risked their lives only because of the promises of the village leaders. But this Ninja World War was obviously different.
Then, the Great Elder called Asuka to come closer, pointed at the group of Jonins below and said, "This is our last clan meeting. After the war is over, I wonder how many familiar faces will be here.

We have been arguing in the clan council for decades, and now it is time to take a break. "

As he spoke, Asuka took out a scroll from his arms, unsealed it, and distributed the beautifully packaged fried chicken.

Everyone took the food brought by Fei Niao. They looked at the familiar fried chicken packaging in their hands. Their vision suddenly blurred and the scene in front of them instantly returned to the clan meeting two years ago.

It was their first time eating at a clan meeting, and it was also the most profound clan meeting so far.

Whenever they recall the scene of eating fried chicken together, they can always vaguely smell the smell of fried chicken in the air.

Click!

As the sound of people biting chicken suddenly came from the crowd, the originally heavy atmosphere suddenly became cheerful in the blink of an eye.

The Great Elder sensed the little life force left in his body and suddenly laughed, "As the Great Elder, if I can bravely die on the battlefield in the name of protecting the family and future generations, it would be a good way to end my life, isn't it?"

Having said that, he lowered his head and looked down, only to see Liang Yi trying to snatch the chicken leg from Madou's hand. In order to prevent the other party from taking it back, he actually stuck out his tongue and licked the chicken leg carefully.

Madou stared at the scene in amazement, then suddenly came to his senses and quickly spat into the remaining family bucket twice, causing everyone to look down on him, and they all moved away from the two guys.

The others also got along quite well.

Some people don't like chicken wings, so they throw them to their tribesmen, snatch a chicken leg from them, and stuff it directly into their mouths, regardless of whether the chicken leg has been bitten by others.

"That's great!" the Great Elder said with a smile, and then joined the crowd, relying on his old bones that were about to fall apart, to take a bite here and grab one there.

"Hey, old man, you bit my hand!"

"Damn, why are the chicken legs so salty?"

"Salty? I remember tearing the paper when I took a shit this morning."

"Ugh~ vomit~"

The noisy sounds spread far away through the air, causing pedestrians on the road to stop and look towards the direction of Nanhe Shrine with curiosity on their faces.

When they saw the group of laughing Uchiha jonin, they couldn't help but shake their heads, and the gloom in their hearts dissipated a lot.

Sadness is contagious, and so is happiness!

And looking at the appearance of these Uchiha ninjas, the war doesn't seem as serious as we thought!

After half an hour.

The Uchiha jonin, who had eaten and drunk their fill, all sat on the ground, supporting themselves with their hands and looking up at the white clouds in the sky, enjoying the rare leisure time before the war.

"Burp~ Burp~" The burp sounds came one after another. The great elder patted his round belly, his eyes gently swept over every senior ninja present, and made a suggestion.

"Everyone, why don't we take a group photo?"

Everyone smiled at each other, then nodded in agreement.

In this war, no one can guarantee that they can survive.

It would be nice to leave a little trace in the ninja world in the last moments.

"Come here!" The great elder waved his hand and called the cameraman who had been ready.

The Uchiha clan's jonins lined up in order of age. The first elder, second elder and other elders sat on the lowest steps, and the other jonins stood respectfully behind them.

Looking back at the family's jonin standing behind him, Uchiha Saburo suddenly broke into a warm smile.

"Starting today, we will close the Nanhe Shrine. When the dust of the war settles, we will come together to open it."

"This order will not be repeated. Thank you all for your decades of sincere cooperation."

"See you later!!"

Upon hearing this, all the jonin were stunned for a moment, their eyes moving between the five old men and the camera.

They looked up at the camera in front of them, and the little things they had experienced together in the clan meetings over the years emerged in their minds. A smile appeared on their faces, and they spoke in unison.

"See you later!!"
