章節 4: Chapter 4: Clan Meeting
The cherry blossoms were slowly falling. The tea has cooled down. Fūnan was long gone.
Uchiha Setsuna was still sitting there, looking at the petals falling on his palm, lost in thought.
"Elder."
With a soft call, a middle-aged man in his forties appeared in front of Uchiha Setsuna.
"Souta, what do you think..."
Setsuna paused for a moment and sighed helplessly, with a look of exhaustion on his old face: "I'm old. I'm not as cautious as before when I do things. Alas, I understand Sarutobi Hiruzen a little bit."
Sarutobi Hiruzen, the third generation Hokage of Konoha, is known as the God of Shinobi and The Professor. When he was young, he was courageous and powerful. During the Shinobi World War, he defended Konoha alone against four enemies, defeating them without hesitation.
However, even someone like the Uchiha, who is not skilled in interpersonal relationships, can sense discontent among the village's clans and ninjas.
The reason Hiruzen retired back then, letting Namikaze Minato become the Fourth Hokage, besides age, he had to take the blame and resign.
Konoha was clearly the victor in the Shinobi World War, but the contract signed by the Sandaime Hokage seemed to be the loser, with no benefits and a lot of sacrifice.
Suddenly, all the ninjas who had made huge sacrifices could no longer hold back any longer and pointed their fingers at the Sandaime.
Then there was the fourth generation Hokage.
Souta smiled slightly and said: "He is not as good as Fūnan. The young master is very good."
"Hahaha!" Hearing this, Setsuna, who was famous for his ruthlessness, couldn't help laughing, his expression full of pride.
"That kid just doesn't fit."
The haze was swept away.
'Yes!' Look at those sons and grandsons of Sarutobi Hiruzen. Although they are not bad, they are not as good as Fūnan!
During the Third War, there were only two ninjas in Konoha who made their enemies fearful.
Konoha's Yellow Flash and Bloody Flames.
Those two caused panic among the enemies.
If it weren't for that incident, how would Shisui become famous? As for what happened, everyone knew in their hearts that the shadow of Shimura Danzō, The Darkness of the Shinobi, was indispensable.
Of course, there is a high probability that it also has something to do with himself.
Setsuna's eyes instantly turned cold.
Uchiha Shisui is the grandson of Uchiha Kagami. In the eyes of the Hokage faction, he is barely half one of their own.
What about himself? The representative of the Uchiha Hawk Faction, who rebelled many years ago, and is the absolute enemy of the Hokage Faction.
By forcing Uchiha Fūnan to retreat and elevating Uchiha Shisui, it not only suppressed the Uchiha hawks, weakened their influence, but also appeased other Uchiha.
Perhaps, they also want to intensify the conflict between the Uchiha doves and hawks!
Of course, Uchiha Fugaku also played a big role in it. That damn thing, he should not have been elected as the clan leader in the first place!
Setsuna immediately raised his head and said: "Souta, what's going on?"
"Brothers Tetsuhi and Komehi requested a clan meeting!"
Uchiha paused for a moment and murmured: "Are you so eager?"
Uchiha Tetsuhi and Uchiha Komehi, two famous powerful Jōnin of the Uchiha clan.
They were originally the clan leader's people, members of the Konoha Military Police Force.
Later, for some unknown reason, it became Fūnan's eyes, which made people think that the two of them were under an illusion.
Now that these two people are requesting a clan meeting, the powerful figures in the three major factions must know whose intention it is.
Souta chuckled and said: "Take vigorous and decisive actions, he has the same behavior as you had back then."
"Haha!" Setsuna couldn't help but laugh again.
"Then go and have a look and see what that kid can do!"
...
The core area of the Uchiha clan. The patriarch's house.
Uchiha Fugaku was sitting upright, listening to his subordinates' report with a calm expression.
"That's too much!" Uchiha Kuroko said angrily: "Tetsuhi and Komehi, what qualifications do they have to hold a clan meeting, and the other elders actually agreed?"
The Uchiha Clan has extremely strict requirements. Only three people have the right to hold a clan meeting.
The clan leader, Uchiha Fugaku, the representative of the hawk faction, Uchiha Setsuna and the representative of the dove faction, Uchiha Soji.
However, the proposal of the brothers Tetsuhi and Komehi was approved without problems this time, undoubtedly, this represented someone's influence.
'Uchiha...Fūnan.' Uchiha Fugaku murmured to himself.
As the patriarch, he knows more.
He wasn't surprised that Uchiha Setsuna agreed with Fūnan, but that Uchiha Soji did so certainly surprised him.
Soji should have the same opinion as him and should not be able to accept Fūnan's requests.
Because Fūnan perfectly inherited Setsuna's iron-bloodedness and ruthlessness, which was inconsistent with Soji's philosophy.
'What happened that I don't know about? I remember there was a report that Fūnan also visited Uchiha Soji recently.' Fugaku mused silently.
Uchiha Kuroko at his side kept talking non-stop, completely disapproving of the brothers Tetsuhi and Komehi, considering them a disappointment for having betrayed Fugaku's trust.
They were obviously loyal to the clan leader, how could they so easily change sides?
"Clan leader, these two people are completely betraying you. You must..."
The remaining words were drowned out under Fugaku's calm but authoritative gaze.
"They have betrayed who? They were members of the Police Force and remain loyal to the Uchiha and the people."
Uchiha Fugaku stood up and said calmly: "Let's go, I also want to know what that person wants to do."
...
Naka Shrine.
When Uchiha Fugaku walked into this secret meeting place, he happened to meet Uchiha Setsuna and Uchiha Soji.
The three of them greeted each other and then looked at Uchiha Fūnan, who was already sitting, enjoying his tea without worry.
He had that lazy attitude as always.
But strangely, his position was directly in front of the clan head, and he didn't even raise his head when the three of them entered.
Tetsuhi and Komehi stood upright behind him, like two javelins, not sitting at all.
Except for Uchiha Setsuna, the other two seemed to be silently reflecting as they sat in their places.
The Uchiha clan worships power, so clan members with the three Tomoe Sharingan automatically gain the right to participate in clan meetings. The three Tomoe Sharingan represent Jōnin-level strength.
Soon, twenty-five people gathered here.
This is the strength of the Uchiha clan. And that was after excluding those who were on missions or patrolling.
The actual total number has exceeded thirty, accounting for almost one-tenth of the Jōnin of Konoha.
Moreover, Uchiha's Jōnin has more combat effectiveness than ordinary Jōnin. That was also one of the reasons why Konoha's higher-ups feared the Uchiha Clan.
Every time he thought about this, Fūnan also felt filled with mixed feelings.
Having so much power and still being eradicated by someone without suffering any casualties could only mean that both sides cooperated exceptionally well.
Once everyone was seated, Fugaku looked at Fūnan and said: "Why are you holding a clan meeting?"
He didn't want to talk nonsense. Since he knew that Fūnan was secretly instigating it, he should just ask him directly! As an Uchiha, why do you do so many twists and turns?
Fūnan continued drinking his tea, without even raising his head.
Fugaku frowned slightly, his eyes gradually showing a fierce light.
He is the clan leader. He has absolute authority and power. Fūnan's status is not equal to his. How dare he ignore him?
"Cough, cough... It's better for me to say it."
A dry cough sounded, inserting into the tense atmosphere.
The representatives of the three major factions looked at the man and were shocked again.
'Uchiha Yashiro! Why is it him?' Fugaku couldn't help but froze, staring blankly at Setsuna sitting next to him.
Uchiha Yashiro has extremely strong analytical skills and strong leadership. He is an extremely rare talent. At the same time, he also serves as the captain of the Konoha Military Police Force.
Even Fugaku respects him very much and often has to consider his attitude.
Was he part of Fūnan's group?
Many Uchiha eyes were about to pop out. They looked at Yashiro blankly, and then at Fūnan.
How many people had this carefree Uchiha managed to attract?
