The elders sitting on the right side of Madara, led by the three elders, looked at each other, and saw a look of helplessness in each other's eyes.
If you don't explain such a big thing clearly, are you trying to suppress these old-fashioned people like ourself?
In the eyes of the elders, Izuna's behavior of not explaining the cause and effect of the whole incident and pulling Uchiha Sashu out to change the subject was a rejection of their old faction.
But this time they thought too much. Madara and Izuna did have the idea of replacing the old with a new generation, but it was not reflected in this matter.
You know, even Madara only knows half of the cause and effect of the whole thing, and people like Uchiha Inosuke only know a little bit about it.
Everything else was done according to Izuna's instructions.
But since the elders think so, let them do whatever they want.
Anyway, it will be a matter of time.
Uchiha Sashu continued: "According to the order of the deputy chief, our secret investigation department has been tracking the footsteps of the Shimura clan. Now it is basically certain that Shimura's target is the four northwest clans, who just lost to us in the northwest battlefield and signed the agreement. The four clans of Fuma, Watanabe, Saito and Onikawa who made the truce agreement."
"What?"
Everyone at the banquet frowned. They were all confused by this series of operations by Shimura Keizo.
The sneak attack on Uchiha's food transport team at the beginning can also be explained as Shimura wanting to make a profit while Uchiha was weak.
Now that the clan leader is personally leading the team to the four northwest clans, what does he want to do?
It's completely impossible to guess Shimura Keizo's purpose.
Although Uchiha elder was dissatisfied with the "ostracism" of the younger people led by Izuna across from him, because he really couldn't figure out the purpose of Shimura Keizo's trip, he could only lower his head and ask Izuna for instructions, "Deputy chief, you know Shimura Keizo Is this the purpose of this visit?"
Originally, the Sarutobi Shimura clan had a neutral attitude towards the Senju,Uchiha.
The Uchiha and Senju naturally have a neutral attitude towards them, and will not attack people from these two tribes for no special reason.
Now that Shimura's people dared to sneak attack Uchiha and kill people from the transport team, they had already established a grudge against Uchiha.
How could Uchiha, who was determined to retaliate, let them go?
"If I'm not wrong,"
Izuna's smile revealed a hint of conspiracy, "Soon, Shimura will join Sarutobi in declaring war on the four tribes."
Everyone is confused, after hearing the words of Izuna.
First, they launched a sneak attack on the Uchiha, and now they are going to war against the four tribes. If what Izuna said is true, what is the purpose of Shimura Keizo?
You must know that the four tribes are far away from Sarutobi,Shimura's territory. Even if they defeat the opponent, it is difficult to accept their territory. They can only seize supplies, and the results of the battle will be at least half reduced.
Compared to the four clans, the Sarutobi and Shimura clans have better targets to declare war on if they want to expand.
"Deputy Chief, is this possible?"
Uchiha Takahiko said in disbelief.
If Shimura Keizo really wants to declare war on the four tribes, there is only one explanation: there is hatred between the two sides.
But he have never heard of any grudge between Shimura and the four clans.
"Lord Takahiko, don't doubt the deputy clan leader's words. You must know that the deputy clan leader has never made mistakes in his decisions on the northwest battlefield."
As soon as Uchiha Takahiko asked this question, Uchiha Inosuke, a die-hard Izuna fan, stood up and shouted impatiently.
In the northwest battlefield,Izuna also gave a bunch of inexplicable orders, which made everyone under him complain.
But in the end, it was Izuna who led the whole clan to a complete victory.
Since then, a large number of ninjas from the Northwest tribe, including Uchiha Inosuke, have become die-hard fans of Izuna.
Uchiha Takahiko frowned. This brat, whose strength is no higher than his own, and whose seniority is even lower than his own, actually contradicted him in front of so many people.
Just when the atmosphere between the young faction and the old faction was a little awkward, Madara, the clan leader, spoke up: "Izuna, if it is true as you said, the Shimura Sarutobi clan will declare war on the four northwest clans, we Uchiha How to deal with it?"
Izuna stood up and said: "It is said that the enemy of our enemy is our friend. Since Shimura is already our enemy, I think we can help the four tribes. They have just suffered a defeat and cannot be the opponents of Shimura and Sarutobi tribes. "
Madara said knowingly: "Then absorb them and become our Uchiha's subordinate clan?"
"good."
"good!"
Madara picked up the wine glass, "Then this battle will be fought by me myself!"
After holding the position of clan leader for a year, and even before going on the battlefield, Madara could not restrain his inner excitement.
Even Izuna returned with victory, so naturally he, the leader of the clan, could not lag behind.
"Clan leader, it is still unknown whether the Sarutobi Shimura clan will declare war on the four clans."
The great elder poured cold water on Madara.
Madara groaned inwardly, his younger brother's control attribute took over, and he hummed: "When did Izuna's judgment become wrong? The Great Elder just waits and sees!"
At this celebration banquet, the elders headed by the elders were not very happy about the drink.
It has always been the young faction headed by Izuna who has been in the limelight.
If Retsu Uchiha, who had also made great achievements in the north, came back, maybe they would have more say.
Unfortunately, Uchiha Retsu was seriously injured and was still recuperating in the northwest stone city, so he was unable to attend the celebration banquet.
Not long after Izuna returned to her room, Madara came to her door and asked her why Shimura declared war on the four tribes.
