Chapter 16: On the Hokage Rock

"Whether you rebel or not depends on the attitude of your higher-ups. Mingyu said, "We just left Konoha and didn't leave the Fire Country, and the daimyo also supported us to become independent of Konoha." ”

"This village was founded by the Uchiha and Senju, and it embodies the hard work and dreams of your ancestors, are you really giving it up?" Bo Feng Shuimen advised, "You've seen the Kakashi team, I'm sure you already know the attitude of our higher-ups." We have always been genuine with the Uchiha, and we welcome the Uchiha back to the heart of the village at any time. ”

"Times are different, Watergate. Mingyu shook his head, "Since you can't go all the way, in order to avoid turning against each other, it is the most correct thing to do to part ways before the conflict occurs." I understand what you mean, I understand your intentions, but how can you guarantee that the next generation of Hokage will not adopt an isolation policy towards the Uchiha? How can you guarantee that in times of crisis, you will unconditionally believe in the Uchiha? How can you guarantee that the rest of the Konoha people will accept the Uchiha as sincerely as you do?"

Mingyu asked a series of questions, so that Bo Feng Shuimen could not answer.

"You can't guarantee it. Mingyu shook his head, "So for the sake of the long term, we took the initiative to leave." Instead of fighting, it is better to be peaceful, which is good for Konoha and for Uchiha. ”

Bo Fengshuimen was silent for a while, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect you to talk about me instead." ”

"It's an irresolvable disagreement, and it's useless to say more. Mingyu said lightly, "Uchiha's attitude has been clear, I might as well tell you, tomorrow we will move the clan, we will take the initiative to evacuate, it will be good for both parties, I hope Konoha will not let us down." ”

He stared at the water gate and said in a deep voice, "I hope you don't let me down." ”

"Tomorrow!" Bo Feng Shuimen was taken aback, he didn't expect the Uchiha to act so quickly and with such a resolute belief that he didn't give the higher-ups a chance to react at all.

He raised his head and didn't answer, but said, "Before I came, I went to meet the three generations of Hokage, and his old man asked me to ask you, he wants to meet you tomorrow and have a chat, would you like to?"

"Where?"

"On the Hokage Rock. ”

"...... on the Hokage Rock" Mingyu muttered, his eyes were ethereal, as if he had seen through the layers of night, and saw an old man with gray hair and kind eyebrows in the dim light.

The water gate was gone, and Yuri Red and Keiko came out of the room and walked over to him.

"Is it okay to tell him the family's secrets? He's the Hokage after all, and everything is based on reality. Sunset Red worried.

"I'm just giving the top management a buffer time, hoping that it's enough for them to come up with a mature countermeasure. Mingyu grinned, full of confidence: "If they are not interested, I will let them see why the flowers are so red?"

Keiko patted him on the head and said that he was too careless, and Sunset Red looked at him with a smile on her face, she liked to look at this man's confident appearance, but there was some hidden worry between her eyebrows.

She is willing to follow her man, but she doesn't want him to turn against Konoha and fight each other.

Tomorrow, will it be like the wind and the sun?

……

It was late at night, but the Hokage's office was brightly lit.

The four generations of Hokage wave Feng Shuimen, the three generations of Hokage Sasuke, the Hokage advisors Zhuan Koharu and Mito Menyan, the four core figures of Konoha high-level, gathered together with solemn faces.

The room was silent, and the atmosphere was so oppressive that even the air seemed to become heavy.

After a long time, Koharu's voice vibrated in the air: "The Uchiha clan is going to leave Konoha tomorrow, are a few old men going to sit here until dawn?

Bo Feng Shuimen shook his head and said: "This fact is difficult to decide, if we let them go, we will lose a lot of strength, if we don't let them go, it is inevitable that we will meet each other, even if the Uchiha is wiped out, our Konoha will be greatly injured." ”

"Hmph! We must not let them go, if the Uchiha is allowed to turn against Konoha, then where will our Konoha face go?" Mito Menyan is a hard-line oppositionist, "Aren't they leaving tomorrow? In that case, let's act tonight, gather people, and destroy this group of wolf-hearted guys! No matter how arrogant the Uchiha is, how can he resist a village with the strength of one clan?"

Bo Feng Shuimen frowned and said, "Since Mingyu dares to reveal the news to me, it means that they are fully prepared and are not afraid of our attack." ”

"Isn't it possible to watch them betray Konoha and then we will become an international joke!" "Sarutobi, you are the former Hokage, why don't you say a word?"

The eyes of all three were on him, and of the four, he was the most prestigious and wise, and all three hoped that he would come up with a perfect solution.

In the expectant gaze of the three of them, the three generations of Hokage slowly exhaled smoke, took off his pipe, and let out a long sigh.

The sigh of exhaustion was long, as if a layer of darkness was cast over the bright light, and the smoke drifted out of the window and dissipated into the thick inky night.

……

It was a sunny and good day, with clear clouds, a gentle breeze and a clear sky.

Standing on the Hokage Rock and looking down, the village is bustling with people, sometimes there is the laughter of children, and the forest outside the village is like the sea, and the green waves are bursting.

The whole world is filled with an atmosphere of peace and harmony, and everything is so beautiful.

However, the people who watched the scenery were not in a good mood, and the three generations of Hokage sighed softly.

The mighty wind blew from the end of heaven and earth, blowing through the treetops, blowing through the village, rolling up the leaves and sandstone, whirling on the Hokage Rock, and lifting the corners of the old man's robe.

He turned his head and looked at the young man in front of him, his eyes were a little trance-like, as if he had returned to twenty years ago, it was also a good day when the wind and the sun were beautiful, he was not as old as he is now, and the young man in front of him was still a childish child, an old man and a young man stood on it, overlooking the village below, and talked about the ideal of life.

At that time, he was full of expectations for the person in front of him, and this person lived up to his expectations, became famous, soared, and was only ten years old, famous in all directions, pacified the war, and made great contributions to Konoha.

But how did things get to this point?

"I remember twenty years ago, it was also in this place that you asked me why the ninja's way of survival was so bloody, and why love begs hate. You ask me if ninjas have any other way to survive than killing. ”

Mingyu was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that the three generations of Hokage would actually bring up the old words, and nodded lightly: "Remember." ”

The third Hokage showed a hint of a smile and said, "I couldn't give you the answer at that time, let you find it yourself, and now, have you found the answer?"
