This Uchiha Itachi is very lonely

Whether it is the Warring States period or even the current Ninja Village period, there are some examples of becoming famous at a young age.

But the patriarch's position of commanding the whole clan cannot be sat on by strength alone, but also needs to be supported by factors such as experience, reputation... and so on.

"Let an eight-year-old child sit on the seat of the patriarch, what is Uchiha Fugaku thinking?"

In Hyuga's house, in the house of the main family, two middle-aged men with similar appearance were sitting opposite each other across a square table.

"Patriarch, his behavior, could it be that no one attended the previous banquet, made him lose face, and wanted to use this to humiliate us?"

Hinata Hinata stared at his elder brother who was the patriarch in front of him, his face extremely gloomy.

Letting an eight-year-old child become the patriarch and sit on an equal footing with them is clearly a humiliation!

"That's not the case, Uchiha Itachi's strength is not simple."

Compared with his younger brother, Hyuga Hyuzu was more calm, holding the invitation card sent by Uchiha in his hand, his tone was flat, "Some time ago, when Uchiha Itachi and the third generation left the village, they were attacked."

"The strength he has shown is far beyond his age, at least he has the strength and quality that the Jonin job should have."

"Uchiha Fugaku would not use such a talented child as a shield, let alone use it as an excuse to humiliate us."

This news is relatively secret, and only the information chain of the main family knows.

As the separated younger brother, he didn't know.

"Junin?!"

Hinata Hinata was taken aback for a moment, and then his tone was quite complicated, "It's another Uchiha Shisui, this Uchiha family..."

There is still a gap between Uchiha and Hinata, who are both descended from a thousand-year-old family of blood.

At least when the ninja world mentions Konoha, Uchiha is always mentioned first, followed by Hyuga.

Even Senju, who no longer exists and has been integrated into Konoha's thousands of households, is sometimes before Hinata.

"Don't be envious, our Hinata is no worse than Uchiha!"

Before he could finish speaking, Hyuga Hyuzu raised his eyes and stared at him, "It's almost time for Neji to start exercising his body and learn family-inherited martial arts."

"Guide him well. If you need anything, just mention it to me. You and I are two brothers. Although we have to separate because of the lord and the family inheritance system, my nephew must be stronger than that Uchiha Itachi of."

"Yes!"

When mentioning his own eldest son, Hinata Hidezai showed a touch of tenderness in his eyes.

But soon, he hesitated again, "Then this invitation..."

"Let's wait and see first."

Hyuga Hyuzu put the invitation on the table, "Remember, Nishi."

"Our Hinata has been passed down in the ninja world for thousands of years, relying on the ability to judge the situation and the situation, not an unreasonable and reckless family like Uchiha."

"Uchiha? They may be very strong, but after all, they are just a group of brainless fools. It is extremely incredible that their blood can be passed down to this day."

He paused at this point, "The status of our clan has always been unshakable. Whether it is the many clans in the Warring States Period or Konoha, we will always be an indispensable part."

"In such a chaotic world, the root of its foothold is no longer in itself, but in whether the position it is in is correct."

It's like when Konoha was built, although they Hinata were not as heroes for building the village, but as one of the invited clans.

But now, the original heroes of the village have begun to end.But their later family has always maintained a detached position.

The Warring States Period may end, strong races such as Senshou and Uchiha may wither, but Hinata will never disappear.

Because they have never been the early birds, but only the feathers on the wings, which may fall off from their bodies at any time and transfer to other places.

This is the foundation of the thousand-year-old clan, and it is also the foundation of inheritance.

While Hinata is holding a wait-and-see attitude, other families also have their own reactions.

Or think that Uchiha has other intentions, or think that Uchiha is going to pretend to be crazy.But obviously, everyone is waiting for the reaction of the person sitting on the Hokage seat.

The strategy that Muye has implemented for decades to build the village still has some effect.

At least one or two younger generations have been gradually infected by the "will of fire", and began to focus on Konoha, and gave up the idea of ​​Xiaojia.

On some major decisions, whether it is the three Ikacho families, or Hinata, Inuzuka... and other families, they no longer act according to their own ideas, but entrust the decision direction to Konoha, or Naruto.

And those ninjas who did not rely on their families were relatively panicked when they received the invitation.

Gather together and discuss whether to go to the banquet.

But fortunately, when Sarutobi Hiruzen gave a positive answer, all the guesses, wait-and-sees, and hesitation disappeared in an instant, and all the forces in Konoha Village replied with complicated emotions, clarifying the purpose of going to the banquet. idea.

At the same time, they felt somewhat lamented by Sarutobi's capriciousness.

Chapter 150: [Monster]

Konoha 50 years, spring

The relationship between Konoha and Uchiha is at a stalemate. Based on the impact of the war, there is no friction and no interference with each other.

In the 50th year of Konoha, in the autumn, the two Hokages of Sarutobi Hiruzen and Namikaze Minato came to Uchiha, and the relationship between Konoha and Uchiha began to establish diplomatic relations.

The two sides gradually got in touch, and Uchiha Fugaku's figure often appeared in Konoha high-level meetings.

Konoha's 51st year, summer, Uchiha Fugaku's second son was born, Sarutobi Hirizan named "Zuosuke", his full moon banquet was full of seats, Konoha and Uchiha were like a couple on a honeymoon, keeping in touch closely.

In Konoha's 51st year, autumn, after the night of the Nine Tails, the relationship between Konoha and Uchiha once again stalemate.

In the 52nd year of Konoha, in the spring, Uchiha no longer participated in the Konoha high-level meeting records.

The tribe was forced to relocate to the outer area of ​​Konoha, and the authority of the Konoha Security Department was truncated. The Uchiha tribe headed by Uchiha Aomon clashed with root ninjas on the street.

In Konoha's 52nd year, summer, Zuosuke Uchiha's first year banquet ended dismal with no guests coming.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi and Uchiha Fugaku's eldest son Uchiha Itachi leave Konoha, suspected of threatening, deterring, and seducing...

Seeing, there must be force friction between Konoha and Uchiha.

In Konoha's 52nd year, in winter, Hiruzaru Sarutobi returned with Itachi Uchiha, and Konoha and Uchiha lived in peace.

Everything... seems to be at peace.

Konoha's 53th year, spring.

The patriarchs of the Uchiha clan alternated, and hundreds of invitations were sent to every household in Konoha.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi changed his usual cold face, and replied with a reply!

……

This is not capricious, this is clearly a season of a kind of expression!

Obviously, in the autumn and winter of last year, each family has already made preparations for the inevitable battle between the two, and the Uchiha Millennium Family will end at this moment.

The results of it?After returning from a trip, Hiruzaru Sarutobi's attitude was as if he had been enchanted by an illusion.

This rapid change made the Konoha clans a little dumbfounded.

But then, they understood why.

Oh, it turns out there is going to be a war again.

There is not much news about the change in Yun Yin's side, except for Sarutobi, Nara, Shimura, Zhuanju, Mitomon... among these families, there are people in power in Konoha's high-level.

War is not good news.

Especially now, Konoha, whose morale is low.

But at the beginning of the new year, on the border between the Land of Thunder and the Land of Fire, Konoha and Yun Yin's frontier troops had been in friction. This news cannot be concealed, and there is no need to hide it.

It is already a fact that the flames of war have been provoked again, and whether the scale is large or small, it is necessary to measure the situation of the two sides.

……

"Winter Dongdong—"

The dull sound of the drum, as if a heavy object fell to the ground, came from the Uchiha clan, and the sound of the drum was passionate, resounding in all directions in Konoha Village.

In the Nanga Shrine, the shrines in the new clan area are completely different from the previous shrines in the core area of ​​Konoha.

In addition to the extra spirit tablets that were moved out of the Konoha cemetery, many urns were moved to the bottom of the shrine together, and even the original stone tablet full of traces of time was gone. It was hidden deep in the basement of his own mansion by Fuyue.

In a sense, the basement is now the real clan meeting place.

The Nanhe Shrine has become a place for real sacrifices, and it is no longer a place for family meetings as before.

"Respectfully……"

Accompanied by Uchiha Fugaku's serious voice.

On the open space in front of the table with many spirit cards, Uchiha Itachi looked up at the names on the spirit cards in front of him, and the incense candles held high in both hands spontaneously ignited without fire.

Afterwards, Uchiha Aomon, Uchiha Yu, Uchiha Jianji, Uchiha Fire Gate... and many other clans of Jōnin, the incense candles in their hands also spontaneously ignited without fire, and none of them were proficient in the change of the fire attribute chakra. .

Then, everyone burned incense together to tell the heavens, telling the Uchiha patriarch to change.

Then, someone brought various melons and fruits, cattle, sheep and livestock from outside the door, and placed them on the long table to offer sacrifices to the ancestors.

The rich incense smoke slowly rises along with the aroma of the food, and dissipates into the sky along the skylight, as if the dead heroic souls of the tribe responded to the sacrifice and were inhaling the smoke and food offered by the tribe.

The haze brought about by the war has not affected the succession ceremony of the Uchiha patriarch.

Similarly, it did not affect Konoha's many invited ninjas to watch the ceremony.

In the open space outside the Nanga Shrine, apart from the Uchiha clan, Sarutobi, Hyuga, Nara...

Representatives of many big clans each occupy a place, and then, there are Shiranui, Moonlight, Hatake... and other small clans, followed by the Hezu, Haruno family...

Uchiha distinguishes them very clearly, from the big clan to the small clan to the family, and finally to the individual.

This kind of seniority ranking method inevitably makes some people feel uneasy. For example, the patriarch of the Inuzuka clan is a little bit annoyed that he is ranked behind the oil girl clan, and similarly, both of them are somewhat dissatisfied. Why can Ludie be on the same level as Hyuga and other big clans.

But soon, after the sacrifice in Nanhe Shrine was over, everyone put away their inner thoughts and looked at the high platform with complicated faces.

Uchiha Fugaku, the previous patriarch of the Uchiha generation, and the newly appointed patriarch Uchiha Itachi walked out of the shrine together, followed by dozens of Uchiha Jonin, with steady steps and high momentum.

Everyone's face was serious, and they looked at the immature child on the high platform with piercing eyes.

However, at this glance, some of them felt weird.

Maybe they guessed wrong before that, this Uchiha Itachi was not pulled out by Fuyue as a shield or pretending to be crazy!

"From today, I, Uchiha Itachi will succeed the Uchiha patriarch."

On the high platform, Uchiha Itachi didn't know the thoughts of the people watching the ceremony below him.As for the pair of scrutinizing gazes, he didn't pay any attention to them, but looked at the many clansmen below earnestly, recalling the past.

"Uchiha has been passed down for thousands of years. Over the past thousand years, our family has produced many capable people."

"Although the historical classics recorded by our family have been flawed in the flames of war, but those traces that really existed cannot be erased..."

……

It stands to reason that talking about the future and promising honors is what the newly appointed patriarch should do at this time.

But there are some things that are inconvenient to speak in full view. Simply, Uchiha Itachi recalled the past of Uchiha for thousands of years like a cliché.

Regarding the history of the Uchiha, the people of the lower tribe naturally listened with gusto and enthusiasm.

However, people from other families have no sense of substitution at all.

However, they never paid attention to what Uchiha Itachi said, but observed his demeanor and speech faintly.

Most of the guests invited to watch the ceremony were clan leaders, or ninjas who had earned a reputation for fighting on the battlefield.If it weren't for this, the proud millennium clan like Uchiha wouldn't invite them to visit.

But now, facing their observing and scrutinizing eyes, this son did not show the slightest timidity or hesitation, but was extremely calm and eloquent.

This is extremely difficult.

Although the existence of aura is a bit illusory, many ninjas present have fought on that battlefield, so they naturally know that its existence is real.

Killers all have murderous aura, whether it is heavy or light, the place where dead bodies are buried, there are many evil spirits, which can affect the surrounding water and soil, and those who occupy high positions may develop noble and official aura...

And all the people watching the ceremony gathered an indescribable murderous aura. Among them, they had participated in at least one Ninja World War, and many of them, like Sarutobi Hiruzen, had participated in three Ninja World Wars.

Even out of the etiquette of watching the ceremony, they never deliberately released it to embarrass their master.But the aura gathered by the crowd is still very bearable.

But now the young boy on the high platform has a calm expression, as if he doesn't know it at all.

Even afterwards, the Uchiha Jonin did not underestimate or treat each other coldly because of their age, but looked very respectful.

This is rare for the arrogant Uchiha.
