Chapter 4 Uchiha Secret Talk
Uchiha clan, clan leader's residence.
At this moment, the clan's top figures, led by clan leader Uchiha Hisaon, great elder Uchiha Mizuki, and second elder Uchiha Ming, gathered in the basement of the clan leader's mansion.
Among the crowd of adults, the figure of a teenager stood out particularly.
He has short black hair, a serious face and a slightly protruding chin, giving people a sense of majesty without even being angry.
His identity is none other than the long-appointed young patriarch of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Fugaku.
"I'm sure everyone already knows that Shimura Danzo came to my house today."
Seeing that everyone was present, Jiuyuan coughed lightly and decided not to beat around the bush. He planned to directly inform his tribe members about his conversation with Danzo.
Danzo went to the Uchiha clan's territory openly, and everyone present already knew about this before arriving, so after hearing the clan leader say it himself, they did not cause any commotion, but just insulted the other party as usual.
"Danzo, this evil Shimura brat, I wish I could kill him myself—"
"He alone is not enough. The Shimura clan is a clan with evil nature. They should all be massacred!"
"That's right, no one from the Shimura clan should be left alive!"
After completing the necessary items for each meeting, everyone waited quietly for Jiuyuan's next speech.
"Danzo is preparing to establish a new ANBU..."
"Finally, he decided to give our clan a spot."
After listening to Jiuyuan's narration, everyone began to think.
At this time, there were only a few radical elements left in the Uchiha clan, most of whom had defected with Uchiha Setsuna more than ten years ago.
The rest are just people who are content with the status quo.
Although he expressed dissatisfaction with the top management and Danzo, it was just talk.
Now, faced with the goodwill shown by Danzo, most people’s first reaction is to agree to it.
only--
Everyone focused their attention on the 75-year-old chief elder Ruishu.
As the oldest person in the tribe, and with a status second only to the tribe leader, everyone should listen to the other party's attitude first, both publicly and privately.
Jiuyuan was also very nervous. Even though he had already promised Danzo, if the Great Elder objected, he would probably have to put in more effort.
Feeling everyone's gaze, Ruishu raised his hand and scratched his head, which was already hairless, and looked into the distance.
“I wonder who the clan leader plans to send?”
Ruishu directly asked about the candidates to be sent, and the implicit message was naturally that he agreed with this proposal.
After figuring out the other party's attitude, Jiuyuan did not answer immediately, but instead turned his attention to the second elder Ming.
"I think it works."
With his hands in his sleeves, Ming gave his answer directly.
Since the first elder and the second elder both expressed their support, the rest of the clan members would naturally not express their opposition openly.
Therefore, Jiuyuan confidently stated the candidate in his mind.
"I'm going to send Uchiha Shinichi over."
"Yeah, it works."
Kuon's answer was obviously what Ruishu expected.
"That child's mother died shortly after he was born, and his father died at the hands of the Hidden Rain Village ninja not long ago. He is indeed the best candidate."
"Danzo wants orphans who have no one to rely on. He just thinks such people are weak and it is easier for him to brainwash them."
"This also eliminates our idea of obtaining intelligence through our tribe members from the source."
"So, I think we should stop doing unnecessary tricks and just hand Shinichi over to the other party and never contact him again."
Soon, after discussion between Jiuyuan and the two elders, the matter was quickly finalized.
......
In the end, only Kuon and Fugaku were left in the huge basement.
"What do you think about this?"
Fugaku has remained tight-lipped from the beginning, which makes Hisaon very curious about his attitude.
"There are doubts, but we have no choice."
Facing Jiuyuan's question, Fugaku gave his attitude very calmly.
"No choice, no alternative..."
Jiuyuan looked at the young man in front of him with a calm expression and felt very satisfied.
Yes, the Uchiha now really has no choice.
"Fugaku, you must remember that no matter how bad the future environment is, don't miss any opportunity to reach a reconciliation with the village."
"You must use your Sharingan to observe and gain a glimmer of hope for the Uchiha clan."
An Uchiha whose strongest fighting power is only the three-magatama Sharingan, is against the Konoha Village which is full of talented people. The outcome is obvious.
"Don't make an enemy of a village unless it's absolutely necessary, unless the village's fighting power is very weak..."
Jiuyuan stared at Fugaku's eyes, and three magatama appeared in his eyes.
And Fugaku also showed his Sharingan to Kuon.
Seeing the magatama in Fugaku's eyes, Kuon closed his eyes and smiled with relief.
"I will make the position of elder completely disappear before you come of age. Only in this way will you be free from constraints when you become the clan leader."
"You can open the double magatama Sharingan at this age. I think the Uchiha will prosper under your leadership in the future!"
"Perhaps, a strong person with the Mangekyō Sharingan will be born again in the clan."
Feeling the old man's expectations of himself, even Fugaku, who never showed his emotions, was slightly moved.
"Patriarch, don't worry, I will definitely live up to your expectations."
"The Uchiha clan will never be destroyed in my hands!"
......
Hokage's residence.
Sarutobi Hiruzen sat in his seat, holding a pipe, looking expressionlessly at the Anbu who was kneeling on one knee in front of him.
The ANBU ninja informed Hiruzen in detail of Danzo's movements throughout the day, even repeating the list of personnel that should be kept confidential.
When Hiruzen heard that Uchiha Shinichi was also on the list, his brows twisted into a shape of a "川" (river character).
As a disciple of Senju Tobirama, although he always said that he wanted to coexist peacefully with the Uchiha clan, deep down in his heart, he was still deeply wary of this clan.
In particular, he personally experienced Uchiha Setsuna's rebellion.
And his best friend, the lifelong enemy of the Uchiha clan, actually took the initiative to go to the territory of the clan he hated the most...
Could it be that he was being controlled by Uchiha's illusion without knowing it?
Hiruzen couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.
But he quickly gave up the idea.
He was well aware of his old friend's strength, and there was no Uchiha now who could cast an illusion on him.
However, what if——
"Well, you did a good job, go down first."
After thinking for a long time without any clue, Hiruzen sent his subordinates away, stood up and looked out the window with a dazed look in his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"Ugh......"
After a long while, a sigh was heard.
"elephant!"
Following Hiruzen's call, a figure instantly appeared behind him.
"Notify Danzo and have him meet me on the rooftop immediately."
