章 68: The Meaning of Konoha

"Shisui is doing this for the sake of the overall situation."

Itachi spoke behind Dan, gritted his teeth and asked in a low voice, "Uncle, I hope you don't disappoint Shisui, and don't let Uchiha go to a desperate situation. Even...just this time."

Itachi knew that with his uncle's personality, he would sooner or later push Uchiha clan and the entire Konoha Village into a sea of flames.

But before that, Itachi prayed that his uncle would give Uchiha a little more time, so that people like him and Shisui, before the situation became irreversible——

Find the path that could really save Uchiha and the village.

In the face of Itachi's request.

"Well, I promise you. As long as I don't speak, it will be fine, right?"

Dan smiled and leaned his back against the chair with his arms crossed.

He was originally here to watch the show, so he did not plan on coming up with any bad ideas.

"Cough cough."

At this moment, Fugaku, who was sitting in the main seat, cleared his throat and announced the start of the meeting with a serious face.

"Everyone here should be clear about the current situation.

Due to the prison riot this time, the village has decided to hold a Clan leader level meeting to punish the police department and Uchiha.

Although only I, Clan leader, will participate in the meeting, I am representing all of Uchiha, so I am here to collect the opinions of all the clansmen. Please speak freely. "

As soon as Fugaku said this, the conference room was immediately full of discussion.

Uchiha Setsuna glanced at Dan from the bottom of his heart and saw that the latter looked calm and composed, as if he did not intend to speak for the time being.

He then looked at Shisui, who was facing each other at the conference table, but there was no movement.

Thus.

As an elder of the radical faction, he instantly carried out his stance from the beginning.

Bang!

He slapped the table, stood up, and complained with a face full of anger,

"Anyone who is not blind can see that this riot was clearly planned by the higher-ups of Konoha behind the scenes. Moreover, they even incited the villagers to come to the entrance of the police department to show off. Do they really think that we, Uchiha, are fools?"

"That's right, Elder Setsuna is right."

The clansmen echoed in agreement. They all agreed with Instant and scoffed at the despicable methods of the higher-ups of Konoha.

Fugaku frowned and asked, "Elder Setsuna, what do you mean?"

Setsuna took a deep breath and did not immediately answer the question. Instead, he scanned the meeting room with his aged eyes.

In the end, he let out a long sigh before speaking to his clansmen.

"Many of you are too young. You haven't experienced the warring states era before, and you have almost forgotten that it was Uchiha and Senju who reconciled and established the first hidden village in history - Konoha."

Even the name Konoha was given by our former Clan leader, Uchiha Madara. Ko(木 -> tree) represents Senju, and Ha(葉 -> leaf) represents Uchiha!

Moreover, the first generation named the leader of Konoha as Hokage(火-> fire 影-> shadow), and originally wanted Madara, who is good at fire escape, to be the first village head.

When he mentioned the name Uchiha Madara.

As someone who had inherited Madara's will, Setsuna was so excited that he was about to cry.

"Is this true?"

"Konoha and Hokage actually have this kind of meaning."

His words caused a commotion among the clansmen, especially those who were below forty years of age. They really did not know about this history.

And the old people in the clan, because they opposed Madara's actions back then, abandoned each other and parted ways with Madara, they also took the initiative to choose to hide this past.

They rarely mentioned this to the younger generation.

As for the teaching materials for the Ninja Academy, they never talked about these things.

They only talked about the will of fire.

According to the explanation of the will of fire, the meaning of Konoha was:

Where the tree dance, the fire is also alive. The firelight will continue to illuminate the village and cause new root to sprout.

It was a kind of sacrifice.

In the whole set of theories, there is no mention of Uchiha, which represents "leaf".

Wasn't this behavior of the Ancestors of the Classics of Forgetfulness?

At this moment.

Even Shisui, who had always believed in the will of fire, had a moment of doubt and wavering in his heart when he heard the words of Setsuna.

Setsuna quietly wiped his eyes with his finger and looked at Dan beside him. His turbid eyes were full of gratification.

This elder of Uchiha firmly believed that Dan would become the next Uchiha Madara.

Then.

He raised his voice and continued to explain to the clansmen,

"Uchiha and Senju have lasted for thousands of years. They are recognized as the two strongest Ninja Clans in the whole world.

The two clans joined hands to establish Konoha. After achieving peace, the chaotic situation in the Warring States period finally collapsed. The other middle - and small Ninja clans all rushed to join the village, wanting to attach themselves to the two big clans.

Therefore, as one of the founders of the Ninja Village Era, Uchiha originally had half of Konoha's power, and was the master of this village!

Even the second generation Senju Tobirama, who was most hostile to Uchiha, could not deny this, so he established the police department.

He handed over all of Konoha's city defense, civil affairs, and criminal investigation to Uchiha.

But later on.

The higher-ups of Konoha, led by the third generation leader, were not only narrow-minded and jealous of Uchiha, but they also worked together with Konoha's little Ninja Clan and civilian Ninja to push and suppress Uchiha.

These people now feel that Konoha belongs to them, and they want to take over the nest and drive us away!

Let's see what will happen to Senju's clan.

In less than thirty years after the death of the first generation, the huge Senju clan had completely disappeared. Now, there was only one Tsunade left, and she was nowhere to be seen.

The higher-ups of Konoha actually said that the last words of the first generation were to hope that Senju's clan would hide their identity and merge their blood into the village... Hahaha!

Would anyone really believe such a ridiculous lie?

Now.

Konoha's' wood 'no longer exists. As' leaf ', we, Uchiha, can not be like Senju, waiting for death.

We must resist to the end!

So I think that not only can Uchiha not compromise with the village, but also take back all the power of the police department and become Konoha's master again!"

These words were filled with a thousand words and were filled with passion.

In the moment it seems.

Right now, Uchiha had three pairs of Mangekyo. This was the biggest capital to fight against the village. No matter what, Konoha did not dare to go against Uchiha.

The higher-ups' self-righteous little actions were no different than lifting a rock and smashing their own feet in the end.

"Cough Cough!"

After saying so much in one breath, Uchiha Setsuna was so excited that he could not catch his breath for a while and started coughing violently.

However.

This elder's generous speech had successfully ignited the flames in the hearts of many clansmen and won their support.

Even the usually calm Clan leader and Fugaku couldn't help but be moved.

The atmosphere in the conference room quickly reached a peak.

Seeing such a scene.

Itachi's gaze was anxious, and his heart was even more anxious.

No matter how glorious Uchiha had been in the past, they were still determined to fight the entire village until now, and even felt that "the advantage was me" would definitely not end well in the end.

Itachi suspected that what Setsuna said was all directed by his uncle behind the scenes.
