Chapter 42: The Problem of the Weasel
In the middle of the day, Fugaku stood under the eaves of his house, speaking to the Uchiha people in the courtyard. The content is nothing more than two points, one is that the crisis has been lifted, everyone can go home with peace of mind, and work as usual tomorrow; second, it is okay to go home, but they cannot go outside to make trouble, and once something happens, regardless of whether it is right or wrong, they will be severely punished in accordance with the clan rules.
Now that the Uchiha is on the cusp of the storm, any behavior will be interpreted under a magnifying glass, and the Uchiha can only survive this period smoothly if he is careful and tolerant everywhere.
Mingyu stood behind Fu Yue, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a small figure in the corner of the wall out of the corner of his eye, he approached quietly, and said in a low voice: "Itachi, why did you come out?"
Itachi was watching his father's lecture intently, where to beware of someone suddenly approaching, startled, looked up to see that it was his teacher, and said shyly: "I ..... I heard movement, so I ran over to see." β
"Come here, let's go over there and talk. β
Mingyu took his hand, walked into the small courtyard, sat by the pool, Mingyu asked, "How long have you been watching?"
"It's been a while. β
"Is there anything you'd like to ask?"
Weasel stared at the swimming fish in the water, suddenly raised his head, looked at his teacher, his little face showed a puzzled look, and asked in his immature tone: "Teacher, you once said that the clan is our destiny and our foundation. So what is the village, and why is the village wary of us? Why should we be afraid when we live here and have no other intentions?"
It's hard to imagine that a little kid who has not dried up is already thinking about this kind of problem.
Mingyu looked at his student, a little in a trance, he was not surprised, but there was a sense of dΓ©jΓ vu, he saw his own shadow from Itachi's body.
He was born to be his own disciple, Mingyu said secretly in his heart.
He muttered: "A village is composed of many ethnic groups like us, and when there are more people, there are entanglements of interests, and a village is an interest group, and everyone gathers together for a better survival." But when there is a divergence of interests, disputes arise and dumping ensuesβ"
Seeing Itachi's confused expression, Mingyu knew that he was talking about it again, and secretly said that he was really not the material to be a teacher, he thought about it and changed his words: "Na, it's like dividing candy, there are so many candies, and if you divide them, there will be less, many people are unwilling to share them with others, and then in order not to fight, someone formulated the rules for dividing candy." According to this rule, our clan is very powerful and deserves a lot of candy, but when we used to divide the candy, our ancestor made a mistake, he felt that this candy was not what he needed, so he wanted to throw away all the candy, and no one could eat it, so everyone was afraid of us, afraid that we would snatch their candy like our ancestors. β
Itachi understood this time, propped his chin, and said thoughtfully: "So, as long as we still share the candy, everyone will still be afraid of us." β
"Yes," Mingyu sighed, "it's an unsolvable problem. β
Itachi said strangely: "Then we don't compete with others for candy!"
Mingyu suddenly laughed, leaned over, touched Itachi's hair with his hand, and said with a smile: "This is not good, candy is what we deserve, and we must do it, if we don't divide the candy, we will-"
He paused suddenly, a flash of light flashed in his mind, and he wanted to grab it, but it was hazy and couldn't really see it.
"Teacher, teacher!" Itachi interrupted Mingyu's thoughts, "What's wrong with you?"
Mingyu was disappointed in his heart, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, okay, the meeting is over, and we'll go here." Go back to the back room, save your mother from looking for you, and if you have any doubts in the future, remember to come to the teacher. β
"Okay!" Itachi happily agreed, walked to the porch, and suddenly turned around, his eyes were lowered, his eyes wandered, his face was slightly red, and he said embarrassedly: "Teacher, when will you take me to the orphanage again?"
His embarrassed appearance is really cute, Mingyu smiled: "Okay, since you want to go, the teacher will take you there tomorrow." β
Receiving the answer, Itachi raised his eyebrows, waved his hand, ran into the verandah, and disappeared.
In the courtyard, Fuyue finished his lecture and announced his disbandment, but the elites of the Uchiha did not leave, they were no more than ordinary people, they all knew that although the crisis was temporarily lifted, the dark clouds hanging over the head of the Uchiha did not dissipate, and the Uchiha had actually completely stood on the opposite side of the village, at this time, where should the Uchiha go, everyone was worried.
Fugaku said in a low voice, "Gather at Nanga Shrine tonight. β
Only then did people leave with peace of mind.
Fu Yue sighed, turned back to Mingyu and said, "Mingyu, thanks to you rushing back in time, otherwise the Hyuga clan's plan will succeed, and our clan will really be cornered." β
"Now is not the time to sigh, the crisis has not really passed," Xiuyuki said worriedly, "We people can quickly make up our minds in order to lead the family out of the predicament." β
As soon as he heard this, Mingyu was inexplicably irritable in his heart, shook his head and said, "You guys discussed, I'll go back first, and the family is probably in a hurry." β
With that, he waved his hand and disappeared.
Patriarch Fuyue and the clan elders were relatively silent, and Xiuxing sighed: "After this incident, I'm afraid Mingyu is the most disappointed person!"
A clan elder nodded and said, "Originally, we pinned our hopes on him, hoping that he would ascend to the position of Hokage and make the whole of Konoha completely identify with our Uchiha clan, but now it seems that ....."
He shook his head and didn't say any more, but everyone knew his subtext: not only was Akeyu Hokage hopeless now, all his previous efforts would be in vain, and the Uchiha's situation was even worse than before.
"Well, how did things come to this?"
"It's all the fault of the Konoha higher-ups, after all, they never trusted us!"
Everyone looked gloomy, silent, and their hearts were clouded.
β¦β¦
Mingyu returns home and unexpectedly discovers that there are two other girls in the house, Sunset Red and Silent. He wasn't surprised that the sunset was red, but he didn't expect the silence to come over.
He was quite touched in his heart, this girl was usually quiet and lovely, and she was understanding, but now she actually showed great courage and risked her life, which showed that she was not only not affected by the outside world's remarks, but also had infinite trust and sympathy for him and the Uchiha.
The three of them had sad faces, but when they saw Mingyu coming back, they immediately dispersed and sunrise, smiling happily. Keiko pulled him to sit on the sofa, shh
Sunset sat next to him, interjecting from time to time. At this time, Mute was a little embarrassed, sitting on the opposite side cramped and uneasy, not knowing where to look, and it seemed that no matter how he put his hand, he didn't want to stay.
Mingyu saw her predicament, comforted her mother while seeing the stitches, and talked to Mute at the same time, which alleviated her embarrassment.
The matter is basically explained, Keiko went to the kitchen to cook with satisfaction, this time it was Mingyu's turn to sit on pins and needles, sandwiched between the two girls, it was really uncomfortable, the atmosphere in the hall was very embarrassing, and the silent excuse was to leave, unexpectedly, not only Keiko came out to stay, but even Sunset Red also said to stay.
Mingyu can't understand this operation.
