At this moment, Uchiha Yashiro realized it belatedly.

Although Qingshui is only twelve years old, his physique is already that of an adult ninja.

With his arms and waist, broad shoulders, and cool and handsome features, Qing Shui's Senju and Uchiha bloodlines are fully reflected, coupled with the enchanting Sharingan and Muramasa's hands that are still dripping with blood...

Before stepping into this place, in Uchiha Yashiro's heart, Qing Shui was still a child who had not grown out of his childishness, but now...

Qing Shui walked slowly towards Uchiha Yashiro with a blank expression on his face.

Seeing Qingshui coming over, Uchiha Yashiro felt a huge panic in his heart.

If Qingshui had always used the fighting style of Senju Tobirama, then this three-magatama Uchiha would have been able to maintain his mind and would not have lost his composure like this.

Because, Senju Tobirama is the public enemy of the Uchiha clan. Even if the Uchiha Eighth Hokage is beaten badly, he will not show such a cowardly expression to the enemy. He still has to retain his final dignity.

but…

When Qingshui's image suddenly became similar to Uchiha Izuna, the nature of the whole matter changed.

Uchiha Yashiro is like a child who has done something wrong and is caught by his grandfather. Even if he is spanked and feels very unwilling to accept it, he can still lower himself to beg for mercy without any psychological burden.

After all, no matter what, this is our own business...

"Uchiha Yashiro, I am very disappointed in you. As a famous three-magatama in the clan, you performed so badly..."

While Qingshui spoke coldly, he infused Fire Release Chakra into the blade. Muramasa's good chakra conductivity caused the blade to ignite a fierce flame. The high temperature left scorch marks on the ground that the tip of the blade did not even touch, and the marks spread along with Qingshui's steps.

"It's like them, really like them..." Senju Tobirama exclaimed from the bottom of his heart.

He had heard about what Uchiha Izuna had done in order to gain power over the Uchiha clan.

After the death of his father Senju Butsuma, Senju Tobirama even imitated the essence of it. In his opinion, even if Uchiha Izuna was here in person, the process would basically be the same.

Treat, behead, accept as a dog...

The card played now is beheading, and what is chopped off is the head of arrogance in your heart!

A trace of fear arose in Senju Tobirama's heart.

In the past few days, Tobirama Senju's guard has been weakened because of Aomizu's attitude and actions towards Nohara Rin, Might Guy, and Umino Ikkaku, but no matter what, he does not want to see an Uchiha Izuna appear in the Uchiha clan.

That's just too dangerous.

But it seemed to echo what Tobirama Senju was thinking...

A ball of water chakra emerged from Qingshui's left hand and began to spin violently, forming a sharp turbulence that buzzed in his hand.

This is one of the secret water techniques of Senju Tobirama: Hard Vortex Water Blade!

Senju Tobirama was stunned and looked at this scene thoughtfully. After a long time, he curled his lips and said, "Tch... let's continue to observe you for now, boring kid."

And this moment.

Qing Shui had already stood in front of Uchiha Yasadairo and said indifferently: "Who I am is not important, but as someone who has betrayed the glory of Uchiha, Uchiha Yasadairo, how do you think I should deal with you?"

Qing Shui looked at Uchiha Yashiro's heart, the water blade in his hand spun faster and faster, and then he moved his eyes to his neck. The Muramasa wrapped in flames slowly moved to Uchiha Yashiro's throat...

Uchiha Yashiro swallowed hard, looked up at this man whom he could not understand at all, and said with difficulty: "I, I don't know, I don't know..."

"If you want to live, I tell you to answer." Qingshui shook his wrist lightly, dispersing Muramasa's flames and the turbulence in his hand, but he inserted Muramasa's blade into his throat, only about a finger's distance away from the larynx.

Uchiha Yashiro felt Muramasa's coldness and looked up helplessly at Qing Shui's indifferent Sharingan... At this moment, he had no doubt that Qing Shui in front of him would definitely kill him if he heard an unsatisfactory answer!

"Who sent you, what is your purpose, and why did you agree?"

"The elder of the Setsuna clan forced me to come. He thinks that your remarks and existence are not conducive to the atmosphere of the Uchiha clan, so asking me to attack you is also to stand up for Uchiha Obito..."

"I agreed because I think Konoha is really going too far now. The restrictions and surveillance on the Uchiha clan are becoming more and more blatant. We are not even given a chance to become Hokage. The clan's prospects and future are bleak, so I can only support the Hawks..."

Qing Shui nodded slowly: "Hawk, what a hawk... Let me ask you, who is stronger between you and me?"

The Uchiha Yashiro lowered his head.

"Okay... then who is stronger, me or Sarutobi Hiruzen?" Qingshui lifted his chin with the blade of the knife, raised his eyes and made them look at himself.

Uchiha Yashiro pursed his lips and said honestly: "Don't underestimate the Third Hokage. He is a man known as a ninja hero."

To his surprise, Qing Shui nodded in agreement: "Okay, then who is stronger, me, Shimura Danzo, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Tsunade, Namikaze Minato, Uzumaki Kushina, Hatake Sakumo, or Uzumaki Mito?"

The Uchiha Yashiro was silent.

The people Qingshui mentioned are all well-known ninjas in Konoha, and there is even one who even the most extreme Uchiha is unwilling to mention.

Is Qingshui very strong? Very strong...

But not enough.

"Then let me ask you again, in the entire Uchiha clan, who is stronger than those nine people... or in other words, in the Uchiha clan, who is stronger than me?"

"You said you support the Hawks, but what do you support them with? The three magatama you are so proud of?"

Qingshui sighed and looked at Uchiha Yashiro with a look of regret that he was a good person but failed to live up to his expectations.

A little plot discussion...

1) Time of death of Uzumaki Mito: According to the latest Minato's rotation, Kushina was controlled by the Anbu after becoming the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and was sealed by a barrier and could not meet Minato. She was probably around the same age as now, a few years after graduating from the Ninja School...

2) When did Hatake Sakumo die?

The anime clearly states that Kakashi committed suicide after graduating. After he became a jonin, Minato recalled: "Five years ago, Shisha..." This was probably around the age of seven.

The timeline of Naruto is quite confusing. In fact, the official timeline has no clear definition. It is all deduced based on the words of the characters, and there are many conflicts in the official books.

But I understand everyone, no one wants to watch Cloud Naruto... But clay pot rice is really not a cloud! QAQ

Still asking for follow-up reading as usual!

Chapter 25 Remember, only I can save Uchiha

Uchiha Yashiro remained silent, his mood as if sinking into an iceberg, completely cold from the inside out, and he could not even feel the pain in his body for the time being.

This is a very strange feeling.

Before Qing Shui questioned him today, Uchiha Yashiro had not realized that the gap between the two sides was so obvious, so obvious that it was ridiculous...

Although there are still some three-magatama in the current Uchiha clan, due to the policy of the Second Hokage's Guard Department, most of the clan members lack actual combat in their daily training, and their combat effectiveness is questionable.

In the thousand-year history of the Uchiha clan, it seems that the only time when a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan did not exist is now.

To put it bluntly, it's really not good enough... Three magatama, no matter how powerful the pupil power is, it's only three magatama...

Even Qingshui who was standing in front of Uchiha Yashiro.

Uchiha Yashiro recalled the three magatama he knew: Tekka, Inahime, Setsuna, Fugaku...

Can these Uchiha who are stronger than him really take down Qingshui easily?

And since they couldn't even take Qingshui, what could the hawkish Uchiha clan do to go head-on with Konoha? With just passion?

Tears slowly flowed down Uchiha Yashiro's face, he didn't know whether it was for himself or for the Uchiha clan.

Qing Shui, who was a little angry at first, couldn't help laughing when he saw this really funny scene: "Uchiha Eighth Generation, you are so old, why are you still crying..."

"The Uchiha clan is finished. I, I feel so ashamed of my grandfather, my ancestors..."

Uchiha Yashiro's tears seemed to burst a dam, mixed with the sadness of being beaten by Qingshui today and the deep worry about his family. He cried bitterly, feeling aggrieved like a thirty-year-old child.

"Stupid." Qing Shui shook his head slowly: "Even if it's Sarutobi Hiruzen, can he beat those people combined? You still don't understand the basic principles of Konoha's operation..."

"If you want to change the status of the Uchiha clan, it's very simple. Either you have the power like Uchiha Madara, sweeping away all the monsters and monsters with absolute grace, and reaching the top of the ninja world."

"Either you abide by Konoha's rules of the game and become one of them."

Uchiha Yashiro was lying on the ground with his arms and legs spread out, as if he had given up. He whispered, "How could I not understand? I understand... If you want to become a Hokage, you must become a member of their master-disciple inheritance. This is the unspoken rule of Konoha."

"Even if it's the famous Hatake Sakumo, no one with a discerning eye would think he can become Hokage. This is Konoha, so what can we, the Uchiha clan, do?"

"Forget about being the Hokage, even if it's the position of the Hokage's assistant or advisor, don't we, the Uchiha clan, deserve a high-level position in Konoha? We are the core of the village!"

At the end, Uchiha Yashiro spoke out his own true feelings, and also expressed the thoughts of most of the Uchiha clan.

They knew that Uchiha could not become Hokage, but a high-level position was not enough for him? But the problem was that the requirements for being a consultant were similar to those for being a Hokage. You had to be in the Hokage master-apprentice system...

This is the so-called core power circle, and the Uchiha clan is obviously not in this system.

This feeling of despair made many members of the Uchiha clan lose hope, and they gradually chose to ignore the gap in combat power, using the so-called tough hawkish approach to cover up their panic.

The eighth generation of Uchiha is such a typical example.

Qing Shui looked down at the tearful Uchiha Yashiro and shook his head: "Don't you see it clearly? How could you do such a stupid thing..."

"It is precisely because I see it clearly that I have to do this." Uchiha Yashiro replied crying, his voice trembling.

"You still don't understand. The reason you're desperate is because the Uchiha clan has no members who are included in the Hokage master-disciple system. If I hadn't appeared before, your thoughts would have made sense..."

"But I showed up, do you think I'll get the chance?"

Uchiha Yashiro's crying suddenly stopped: "Ah..."

An Uchiha with the Will of Fire as his trademark, who openly criticized the Sharingan, was gentle to civilian ninjas, and received the attention of the third generation in the ninja school...

The most important point is that Qingshui is the descendant of Uchiha Kagami and his direct grandson!

If we have to force it, Qingshui is born into the Hokage master-disciple inheritance system, and has the most reliable blood relationship.

Uchiha Yashiro stared at Qingshui blankly. Qingshui's past behavior seemed to have sent an electric shock through his mind. Every action now contained too much profound meaning.

He couldn't see through Qing Shui at all, just like he couldn't tell whether the Qing Shui in the illusion was Uchiha Izuna or Senju Tobirama...

"I don't want to abandon the Uchiha clan, but you can't hold me back, Yashiro." Qing Shui half-knelt beside him and said slowly:

"Whether in terms of talent, combat power, background, or brainpower, only I can save the Uchiha."

"I told you so much because I don't want the family to lose a three-magatama. You are not a waste like Uchiha Setsuna who ties his own selfish desires to the future of the family. You are still worth saving."

"But I tell you now, I'm disappointed and a little tired." Qingshui sighed dully, his eyes full of sadness.

Uchiha Yashiro became anxious instantly. He ignored the pain of tearing wounds, climbed up, half-knelt and looked at Qingshui anxiously: "No, no... Lord Qingshui, Qingshui you can't..."

"This is a family problem. No, no, this is my problem! It's the problem of that bastard Uchiha Setsuna. You can't lose heart about the family. I beg you, you can't lose heart about the family!"

Uchiha Yashiro looked at Qing Shui who was exhausted, and an extremely strong sense of guilt and regret devoured his heart. He was eager to do something...

He had a premonition that if Qingshui really became disappointed with the Uchiha clan, he would probably become a famous sinner in the clan's history!

At this moment, Uchiha Yashiro saw the blade of Muramasa, gritted his teeth, and shouted fiercely: "Qingshui-kun, let me apologize to you with my life, and I only ask you to forgive the Uchiha clan!"
