Chapter Thirteen The Will of a Clan
The strength of the Uchiha clan, which had not gone through the Second Ninja War and was consumed by the Third Ninja War, was so formidable.
Even if it was the First Ninja War and the Uchiha Civil War and the Battle of Naraku Underworld, even if the Uchiha clan at this time was already a rare weak period in family history compared to the Warring States Period, even if the contemporary Uchiha clan did not have a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan
...With the numerous Sanmagatama jounin in the family, the unparalleled fire escape, the bizarre Sharingan illusion, and the miraculous ninja tool throwing technique, the contemporary Uchiha clan is still the strongest clan in the ninja world.
Especially after Senju retired to seclusion, there was no second ninja clan in Konoha or even the entire ninja world that could compare with the Uchiha clan.
Rolling eyes Hinata? Uchiha looked at her like bones in a grave.
It is precisely this unparalleled strength, coupled with the current situation of being trapped in the police department and not being able to go further, that the Uchiha clan is becoming more and more dissatisfied with the Hokage family. All kinds of sarcastic and weird words in the family are endless, and they are loud-mouthed.
The Uchiha tribe members also made their dissatisfaction with the Hokage family known to everyone, so that the Hokage family could not help being suspicious and suspicious.
Especially after the death of Uchiha Mirror in the battle, the Uchiha clan and the Hokage clan were cut off from high-level contacts. Information between the two parties was unable to be effectively communicated, which deepened the differences and misjudgments between the two parties.
Therefore, when the Uchiha clan leader, who followed the Hokage's message and came to the Hokage building for a meeting, heard the conditions given by the Sandaime, he was really moved.
Anbu quota.
A disciple of Hokage, and possibly the last remaining disciple.
This means that the Uchiha clan can immediately break through the confinement of the police department and have the opportunity to seize more power.
This is also the opportunity that the Uchiha clan has been seeking for the past twenty years or so.
"Hokage-sama, thank you for your kindness... However, regarding the existence and abolition of the Police Department Preparatory Training School, this is by no means something I can say arbitrarily. I have yet to communicate with the family."
The Uchiha clan leader was very tempted, but then he refused.
However, he didn't say anything to death, he still left a hole. After all, the Hokage had given too much, and what if the clan members were unified when he returned.
"Chief of the Sifang Clan, I think we had a lot of experience fighting side by side back then, but now you and I are both very busy with work, and we really don't have the time to move around and keep in touch."
The Sandaime was not annoyed, he chuckled, and as soon as the conversation changed, he and the Uchiha clan leader seemed to have an intimate relationship with each other.
"It's true. Back then, you and I worked together in the Western Border Guard Force..."
The Uchiha clan leader was also unambiguous and started to talk nonsense.
After bragging about each other endlessly, the Uchiha clan leader felt his throat was very dry, but the Sandaime's face was still filled with passion about the past, and he seemed ready to talk about it for a few more hours.
"Hokage-sama, you see it's getting late. I'll go back as soon as possible to discuss it with my clan members so that I can reply to you as soon as possible."
Unable to stand it any longer, the Uchiha clan leader took the initiative to talk to him until death, looking for an opportunity to escape.
"Remember the one from the Akimichi family... uh, oh... well, then I'll bother the Sifang clan leader." The Sandaime, who was in the middle of a conversation, was interrupted, but he didn't feel unhappy. He sent the Uchiha clan leader away after being polite.
The Uchiha clan leader resigned and left. The moment the door was closed, the smile on the Sandaime's face immediately froze, and then slowly disappeared.
He picked up the pipe, frowned, and smoked slowly.
"Uchiha..."
The Uchiha clan leader returned to his private residence and slipped into the study without saying a word. After thinking about it for a long time, he hesitated for a long time. Finally, he sighed and ordered another meeting with the elders of each clan.
Hold a big meeting for small things, and hold a small meeting for big things. This is also an old tradition of the Uchiha clan.
By the time the elders at the head of the house arrived, it was already evening. At this time, the Uchiha clan leader was also waiting anxiously. He was worried about the discipline of the Uchiha clan and the respect the clan members had for the clan leader.
In the living room of the patriarch's house, among the dozen or so old men sitting around, there were two young Uchihas, namely Uchiha Fugaku, the eldest son of the patriarch's family, and Uchiha De, whom Elder Setsuna brought specially to see the world.
Light.
This was also the first time that Uchiha Tokko took a close look at Fugaku, a "big man" who would be both criticized and praised in later generations.
From the outside, Fugaku looks like a young and mature man. His square face is slightly different from the oval face of ordinary Uchiha people. The nasolabial folds on his cheeks make him look a little more dignified in addition to his old appearance. From his appearance,
, seems to be quite courageous and determined.
Although Fugaku's face remained calm, he also looked at Uchiha Tokimitsu, a clan member who had recently become famous, from the corner of his eye. After all, as the son of the clan leader, he had also heard about the turmoil caused by Uchiha Tokimitsu's proposal.
The Uchiha clan leader told the Hokage's conditions in detail, and then closed his eyes to rest while discussing with the elders.
To be fair, the conditions offered by the Hokage were quite good, but the Uchiha Police Department Preparatory Training School, which was still on paper and had not yet been implemented, received such generous treatment. Not only the conservatives were moved, but even some radicals
Elder Pai was also a little unable to sit still.
After everyone whispered to each other, they turned their attention to Elder Setsuna who remained calm.
Elder Shan Na looked around at the four people, observing their words and expressions, and knew that the clan members had begun to waver.
What a mess!
Elder Setsuna secretly slandered him in his heart, but he did not intend to say it himself. Instead, he looked at Uchiha Tokumitsu who was sitting next to him.
"Xiao Deguang, you are the proposer of the Police Department Preparatory Training School. What do you think?"
"I?"
Uchiha Tokumitsu was a little surprised. He was still a six-year-old kid. Although the Uchiha clan had examples of precocious teenagers, there was no precedent for him to start participating in clan affairs at such a young age.
"Well, tell me what you think." Elder Setsuna paused, "How are the conditions provided by Monkey? Compared with the Police Department Preparatory Training School."
"The Police Department Preparatory Training School will be the future of the family." Uchiha Tokumitsu straightened his small body and said word by word. "It is also the key to realizing the unity of the family and breaking down the barriers between different families."
"It is a powerful clan, and it is necessary to achieve the necessary conditions to expand its influence with the help of the Police Department."
"The conditions given by the Hokage are not a big deal. It is not worth giving up the Police Department Preparatory Training School. When our family becomes stronger and our clan members become more united, and when our clan members become the Hokage, then everything will naturally be ours, no need to
A dishonest Senju lackey, shamelessly gifted by Sarutobi Monkey!"
"If you seek peace through struggle, you will survive peacefully; if you seek peace through compromise, you will perish peacefully. If Uchiha wants it, he will take it himself and does not need others to give it to him! Uchiha - don't eat what comes to you!"
"I've finished speaking. Does anyone have any opinions?"
After saying that, he looked around, his little body full of energy.
"It's just an Anbu, but... only a disciple of Hokage can become Hokage..."
A conservative elder said weakly.
"Isn't the position of Hokage a private grant? Only the Jonin Council can decide the candidate for Hokage! If Sarutobi is not right, it is illegal in itself!" Another radical elder retorted.
"But if all the clan members go to the Police Department Preparatory Training School and no one goes to the Ninja School, wouldn't it mean that the younger generations will no longer interact with the next generation of the village?"
"I told you earlier! The Police Preparatory Training School only admits voluntary applicants based on merit. It does not force everyone in the family to enroll!"
"It's just that the Police Preparatory Training School has deepened the gap between the family and the village, which is always not a good thing..."
"Then we can also allow some ninja children who are close to the family to enroll." Uchiha Tokumitsu interjected, then looked up at Elder Setsuna, "Grandpa Elder, what do you think?"
When everyone heard this, they all looked at Elder Momo.
"Um……"
"Fellow family members..."
Elder Shanna looked around and spoke slowly.
"...Since the Battle of Naraku Huangquan, our clan's strength has weakened a lot. We are currently at our weakest moment in a thousand years. Although we are in peace, we cannot relax."
Seeing Elder Setsuna mentioning the tragic family civil war, everyone was frightened.
"Each family...after the civil war, there were many estrangements. Although we have made up for it a lot, it is still unavoidable."
"And after the death of Mirror Wars, the relationship between the family and the village also became tense."
Hearing this, the conservative elders sighed secretly.
"We are Uchiha, Uchiha who have always been tenacious and brave since the Warring States Period for thousands of years. Unity is the key to the survival of the family."
"It doesn't matter the faction, it doesn't matter the position, it's just because we are all Uchiha! We are the strongest clan since the Ninja Sect has been passed down!"
"Sarutobi Monkey's conditions are just sugar-coated poison! Only the self-improvement of the family is the foundation for us Uchiha to settle down!"
"That's it! Who agrees and who opposes!"
The Uchiha clan leader saw the opportunity and said, "Elders, please vote!"
…
Another vote on the issue of the existence of the Police Department Preparatory Training School was voted unanimously by the elders!
Chapter completed!
