At the same time that such a secret conversation was happening in the division of the Hyuga family. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In a remote corner of Konoha Village, in a remote corner of the village, a cluster of old houses is located.
And in the courtyard of this house, there is also a conversation going on.
The warm sunlight is not dazzling, and the green grass in the courtyard gives it the vitality to continue to grow.
On the old corridor, two figures, one large and one small, were kneeling in unison, looking at each other face to face.
The two of them were dressed in traditional home-style kimonos, and the gray colors were not bright, but the fan logo on the back made it clear the identities of the two people present.
"Fugaku, do you understand what this war means to the Uchiha clan?"
The first to speak was a middle-aged man, his eyes slightly closed, his temples slightly white, but despite this, he still combed his hair neatly behind him, looking very neat.
The nasolabial folds on both sides of his cheeks made him look as if he had endured a lot of vicissitudes, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and forehead that carried the years were more and more visible.
As he said this, he slowly opened his eyes, his slightly cloudy eyes were full of shrewd light, and his momentum suddenly changed from calm to oppression, staring at the young man in front of him very forcefully.
Feeling the momentum of the middle-aged man, the young man in front of him did not panic.
He straightened his body slightly, pursed his lips slightly, looked at the middle-aged man in front of him respectfully, and said in a deep voice.
"I understand, father. ”
"With the passing of Lord Jing, without his mediation, the contradictions between the village and the family are becoming more and more acute at this time.... This war... Maybe it's an opportunity for the family..."
"A chance to break free from the shackles that freed the family from Konoha..."
The young man had black hair, and his black and white eyes, which were slightly hidden under his bangs, looked very calm, as if he was telling a very ordinary thing.
Hearing his words, the middle-aged man in front of him looked at him, a relieved smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said slowly.
"You're right, Fugaku, but there's one thing that's wrong. ”
"The reason why the Uchiha clan is using this war is not to get rid of the shackles of Konoha, but to regain control of Konoha. ”
As he said this, a glint flashed in his eyes.
Hearing his words, Uchiha Fugaku was a little puzzled, but he didn't ask.
The man glanced at his puzzled gaze, his expression restricted, and he said heavily.
"You don't know the history of the Uchiha clan yet, but I'll take you to see the stone tablet that records the history of the Uchiha clan in the depths of the family. ”
"There's some of the answer to your question, but... It's only part of it..."
For some reason, when he said this, the middle-aged man's voice suddenly lowered, and the whole person's back seemed to bend slightly.
Fu Yue observed this scene, as if he had thought of something, and his expression suddenly sank.
The middle-aged man lowered his gaze slightly, and said in a hoarse voice.
"Fugaku, remember, the reason why I am telling you this is because it is a responsibility that you have been destined to bear since the moment your brother died!"
"Your brother Tokino has a talent that is not inferior to that of any generation of ancestors of the Uchiha clan, he is the pride of the Uchiha clan, and he is also my pride. ”
"It's a pity.... He died in the village of Sand Ninja... Died in a ridiculous mission arranged by the village... Die in the calculations of Aizen Yusuke!"
"So, as his younger brother, you can't repeat his mistakes!"
"Fugaku, you have to remember! From this moment on, you are the next head of the Uchiha clan, this is a heavy responsibility that you must bear, can you understand!"
When he said this, the middle-aged man raised his head slightly and stared at Fu Yue, his eyes full of expectation.
Feeling his father's gaze, the young Uchiha Fugaku's slightly green face was slightly solemn, nodded heavily, and said in a deep voice.
"I see, Father. ”
After speaking, he kowtowed heavily in front of the middle-aged man.
Seeing this, a smile of relief appeared on the middle-aged man's vicissitudes of life, and he slowly stretched out his palm and patted him on the shoulder, and said softly.
"You three brothers and sisters, although you are the youngest, but your personality is also the most similar to me, I believe that the Uchiha clan will become more and more brilliant under your leadership, there is no doubt about this!"
After speaking, I saw him slowly get up and walk out, and when he passed the door of the corridor, he stopped slightly, tilted his head slightly, and said in a low voice.
"Don't worry, my father will prepare everything for you for the rest of the time, Konoha Village... After all, it will be in the hands of the Uchiha!"
The deep voice fell, and his slightly heavy back had disappeared into the doorframe.
At this time, Uchiha Fugaku, who had been knocking his head on the ground, slowly raised his head, and his young face had a composure and calmness that was not inferior to his age.
I saw him raise his head slightly, and the corner of his eye glanced at the grass in the courtyard that looked green in the sun, and his eyes revealed a hint of complexity.
He slowly stretched out his palm, carefully touched the warm sunlight outside the eaves, and then quickly retracted it.
After that, he sat quietly here for a whole day.
For the young head of the Uchiha clan, the choice between light and darkness became the most persistent obstacle in his life for the rest of his life.
..........
A day later, the current patriarch of the Uchiha clan, Maya Uchiha, announced his abdication, and his second son, Uchiha Fugaku, succeeded him as the Uchiha patriarch.
Despite the war, the ceremony was still valued by the top leaders of Konoha and sent people to pay their respects and show respect for the new head of the family.
Under the attention of many high-level officials, Fu Yue's performance did not have a trace of stage fright, his manners were polite, and he was praised as the father of the True Night Patriarch.
The slightly solemn ceremony lasted almost a day.
At night, the new head of the family, Fugaku, who was known to everyone as a father, disappeared into the Uchiha's house.
"Father, where is Fugaku?"
The pretty woman with a cold face asked softly to Maya Uchiha, who was wearing a casual kimono.
In this regard, Uchiha Maya slowly took a sip of tea and said softly.
"Although Fuyue's kid didn't say anything, I knew that this time there was still a lot of pressure on him, so he should go out for a walk. ”
Speaking of this, he raised his head slightly, looked at the woman in front of him, his eyes flashed with a hint of tenderness, and said softly.
"Sakiya, you're not too young anymore... Isn't it time to find one.."
The middle-aged man's words were interrupted by the woman before he finished speaking, and he saw that the pretty woman with a cold face suddenly blushed on her cheeks, and said in annoyance.
"Father, what are you talking about!!"
Hearing Sakiya's embarrassment, Uchiha Maya didn't care, just smiled and waved his hand gently.
For this daughter, as the ruthless patriarch of the Uchiha clan, he gave what can be described as the greatest tenderness.
At this time, he looked at Sakuya, as if he saw the figure that had disappeared in his eyes for too long, and said in a lonely voice.
"Before you know it, you have grown up, and your fathers have grown old. ”
Speaking of this, under Sakiya's complicated gaze, he slowly got up and walked towards the back room, and a soft voice like a lonely old man slowly came.
"If we have time, let's go see Tokino as a family... The kid .. I've always been sorry for my father...."
When the words fell, the body of the True Night Patriarch, who was originally tall, slumped slightly, and his back slowly disappeared into the darkness.
Hearing Uchiha Maya's words, Sakiya almost couldn't help but tell him the news that Shino was still alive, but he still held back at the last moment.
After all, at this time, Shino was following Aizen's big brother, and if he told his father, it might cause unnecessary trouble... Wait a little longer....
