Konoha: I, Uchiha, just want to die.

Chapter 442: I can't speak

#
The weather is getting hotter and it is summer again.

On the wall of the hall, a calendar was swaying slightly in the breeze, and today's date was clearly written.
Konoha 47, April 7th.

What did you do on this day in previous years?
Are you struggling in Konoha, which looks beautiful but is actually a huge stinking quagmire?

Or is he urging the younger generations in the clan to practice diligently, and not sparingly imparting to them the experience he has summed up from his decades of ninja career, repeatedly giving them advice?
Or is it
In fact, I am not as busy as I imagined, nor as kind as I imagined?

Standing at the top of the thousand-year-old clan in the ninja world, he alone and rigidly controls the enormous power.
He had a gloomy old face that looked sinister and insidious all day long, and he was trying to compete with that bastard Danzo to see who could stop a child from crying at night.

then,

Sitting alone in front of the Nanga Shrine, I don't know what I am doing or what the meaning of doing this is.
It's just like this, without any expectation but with some kind of expectation.
Looking out——

Just like this moment.

Seeing the packed seats in front of him, and feeling the surprisingly united crowd, the hawks, doves, and neutrals all gathered together, unwilling to yield to each other and all thinking that they were the future members of this clan.
This grand spectacle that we had never dared to imagine in the past appeared before our eyes, but it was like watching a monkey show, with everyone here watching a double-faced idiot gossiping and showing off his eloquence in the hall.

A bit funny.

Fortunately, I can’t see it.

Otherwise, Uchiha Setsuna suspected that his frown could crush the Fourth Kazekage Rasa in front of him to death!

So, what are you looking at?

In the darkness, Uchiha Setsuna's eyes seemed to shake and he had some kind of hallucination.
It was like going back to a year ago, when I was sitting in front of the gate of Nanga Shrine, quietly gazing at the Nanga River.

#
The setting sun casts a shadow on the sparkling waters of the Nanhe River.
And in that river,
There was a handsome young man wearing a black T-shirt with the Uchiha clan emblem, gritting his teeth, looking unwilling, but as if he had to accept the reality.

He was leaning over the river, holding a two-pronged fork, and in the lonely sunlight, he picked up the last can that had sunk to the bottom of the river.

then,

As if all the strength in his body had drained away, he slumped down on the wooden bridge beside the river.

His eyes wandered aimlessly in the air, following the path of the sunlight, and finally, he stared blankly at the clouds flowing in the Nanhe River, in a daze.

Looking at this scene, Uchiha Setsuna couldn't help but frown.

Who is this guy?
What is this kid's name?
How could he be so lazy?
He just finished a D-level mission of clearing the river and he's lying here. How disgraceful!
Within three seconds, I will know all his information!

Then give him a good scolding!
however--

Before Uchiha Setsuna could get up with a dark face and walk towards the wooden bridge, he asked the young man his name, where he lived, whether he ate well, and whether he slept well.
The young man in sight leaned over, patted his face with a handful of water, slapped his face hard, and roared,
"good chance!"

"Damn it, this is the perfect time for sudden death!"

"That's great, I'm going to complete eight more D-rank missions!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the young man crawled up stiffly and twistedly, like a zombie that had just resurrected. In an extremely ugly posture, he ran away from the scene like a flash, and went to the hall of the police department where the tribe issued tasks.

Reflecting the last rays of sunset,
Uchiha Setsuna opened his mouth, wanting to chase after him and ask, but he didn't know how to start.

Finally, I let the increasingly blurred memories fade away with the passing wind.

He only vaguely remembered that he later investigated the boy's information and learned about his tragic life experience. He then instructed his hawkish members to give the kid some normal care.

then
then
What's this kid's name?

Uchiha Setsuna looked up in confusion.
In my ears, the sound of Luo Sha and Uchiha Yashiro practicing Tai Chi while holding a letter of surrender mixed with the clan members' interesting whispers.
This is clearly a very important occasion, and it is also a very important matter for the clan.

But Uchiha Setsuna could not arouse any interest and could not integrate into this environment.
It's just noisy, it's just noisy!
It is as if the will has been stripped out of this world, and is examining everything from a higher perspective, ruthlessly and profit-seeking.
but--

Deep down in my heart, in this noisy and quiet moment, I am calling out and asking,

After repeatedly grabbing his own collar, Uchiha Setsuna, rudely, urgently, with a hideous face, blood all over his head, and wounds all over his body, he shouted and urged himself,

"Uchiha Setsuna!" "You stupid old man!"

'Remember it quickly, it's something more important!'

"Remember it quickly—"

"What's that kid's name?!"

until--

"Crunch~!"

The gate of Nanga Shrine was pushed open!

There was a strong and powerful sound outside the corridor. Just by listening to the sound, one could feel the extremely determined will of the person coming. The footsteps were as tight and dense as drumbeats!
"Ok?"

Uchiha Setsuna suddenly came to his senses and was a little surprised.
He couldn't tell whose footsteps they were, but he was very familiar with the smell.

Isn't this the always weak Uchiha Fugaku?

Glancing over, Uchiha Setsuna frowned slightly.

Uchiha Fugaku should be with Uchiha Huoguang. Now that Fugaku is here, where is Huoguang?
Just as he was about to ask——

Uchiha Fugaku seemed to have predicted the question he was about to ask, and spoke directly:

"Great Elder, Elder Huo Guang still needs to go to the Sandaime."

Uchiha Setsuna frowned slightly.

Fortunately, although there were some deviations from the plan, it was still under his control overall.

Uchiha Setsuna was about to answer——

however,
As if he had predicted his prediction, Uchiha Fugaku looked at Rasa, who was the Fourth Kazekage but had no respect for his reputation, and smiled.
"Thank you for your hard work, Great Elder,"

"So,"

"Let me host this clan meeting!"

"Ah?" Uchiha Setsuna was stunned for a moment, his expression looking a little confused.

Then,

Before Uchiha Setsuna could try to take back the initiative in this meeting,
Uchiha Fugaku took two steps forward, came in front of the Fourth Kazekage Rasa, and suddenly closed his eyes.

The next moment,
In front of 274 Uchiha clan members and Luo Sha,

Uchiha Fugaku suddenly opened a pair of scarlet, cold eyes, made of three hollow magatama fitting the core of the pupils——

Mangekyō Sharingan!

then,

In front of many clan members and Uchiha Setsuna,

Uchiha Fugaku seemed to have done this action countless times. He pulled out the surrender letter from Luo Sha's hand very smoothly, and then stared at Luo Sha coldly.

With a disdainful look and tone, as if looking at a small fish, he spoke coldly:

"The surrender of Sunagakure—"

"I, the Uchiha clan, accept it!"
