Chapter 873: A Clan and a Village
"What did you say!?"
Sasuke couldn't bear the old man's insulting words anymore, and suddenly spoke, and his dark pupils suddenly turned blood-red.
In his eyes, the three magatama slowly rotated.
Even if he was opposite the elder of the clan, Sasuke would never allow him to insult his brother, whom he respected the most.
He deliberately restrained his killing intent, but even so, his blood-red eyes were still full of solemnity.
This momentum caused Fu Yue in front of him to look sideways a little, and his heart was a little shocked.
And the people who can sit here are naturally the high-level and elite of the Uchiha clan, so Sasuke's momentum can't scare everyone.
Everyone's eyes were on Sasuke's three-hooked jade writing wheel.
There are not many clansmen who can open the Sharingan to the state of Sanmagatama, not to mention that Sasuke is still so young.
It seems that they usually underestimate the second son of the patriarch.
"Sasuke. Fugaku looked at Sasuke and motioned for him to calm down.
Although the latter was extremely angry, it was impossible for him to make a move in front of the elders in front of so many high-ranking clansmen.
Sasuke took a light breath, and his eyes returned to normal.
"Hehe, I can't even see a little bit of blood, such an Uchiha, it's really sad. ”
The old man sneered, he was the same generation as Fugaku's father, Uchiha Kainai, and his status in the clan was second only to the patriarch, so he never knew what it meant to be jealous when he spoke.
Fu Yue frowned, if it was just the old man, he would have a way to deal with it.
The root of the problem is that most of you think this way in your hearts.
Just then, the door to the chamber opened.
Everyone was looking at the past, and under this gaze, Uchiha Yan walked in.
"Why are you here?" the old man looked at Uchiha Yan, his tone slightly dark.
"I'm the elder of the clan anyway, the whole clan is deliberating, is there any problem with me being there?" Uchiha Yan's gaze fell indifferently on the old man.
That being said, the Uchiha rarely participates in clan meetings on weekdays.
Being stared at by him like this, the old man's face changed and he was silent for a moment.
It's not that the elder was frightened by the Uchiha Yan, but he knew that the latter held an important position in the shadows and was extremely close to the Hokage.
If his words just now fell into the ears of the Hokage and the rest of the higher-ups, it would bring disaster to the clan.
He certainly wouldn't want to see that happen.
Seeing that the old man was dumbfounded, Uchiha Yan looked around at everyone, and said lightly: "Wasn't it quite lively just now?
Uchiha Yan was also an elder in the clan, and no one dared to contradict his words except for the previous old man and Fugaku.
As a result, this clan meeting ended unhappily.
...
Fuyue's face was pale.
When he returned home, he took Sasuke to the dark hall.
"Do you have anything to say about the content of the clan meeting just now?" Fugaku looked at Sasuke with his hands behind his back.
Sasuke pondered for a moment and said, "I think that although the elder just said something unpleasant, there are some aspects that are not true. ”
"With the power that the Uchiha has now, it is indeed enough to occupy a place in the upper echelons. ”
Today's Uchiha clan has a lot of elites, and even if you don't mention others, just the kaleidoscope possessed by Uchiha Yan, Itachi, and Shisui is not comparable to other races in the village.
Even Hinata, who is also a big family, is far from the current Uchiha.
"Do you really think that the things you have in your heart really belong to the current Uchiha?" said Fugaku.
Sasuke's pupils shrank slightly, he had never thought about it carefully.
He wasn't familiar with Uchiha Yan and Uchiha Shisui, but he knew something about them.
From the very beginning, Uchiha Yan helped the current Hokage create the relationship between the current clan and the upper echelons of the village.
And Uchiha Shisui used to be a disciple of Bo Feng Shuimen.
What exactly the positions of these two people were, he did not know.
Even the older brother he thought he knew the most, when he thought about it, Sasuke wasn't sure what he was thinking.
Perhaps, as the father and the previous elders said, the current Uchiha seems to be powerful though.
But in fact, that kind of power does not necessarily belong to a family.
"I know what's going on in your heart, but you have to keep one thing in mind. ”
Fugaku stared at Sasuke and said in a low voice, "Although the current Hokage is generous, the Uchiha has such a reputation in the current village. ”
"But no matter what, he was never on the same side as the Uchiha. ”
"Maybe you can't understand it now, but the high-level shadow that that man once left on Konoha can't be erased until now. ”
"Yes, father, I wrote it down. ”
Sasuke nodded, thinking of the man his father was referring to.
The ancestor of the Uchiha clan, Madara Uchiha.
...
The next day, when he had just returned from a mission, the weasel who had returned home was slightly sensed and his eyes were turned.
Sasuke stepped out of the corner of the hallway.
"Did something happen?"
Itachi immediately noticed that Sasuke must have been waiting for him all night in front of his house.
Sasuke walked up to him and said with a slightly heavy face, "Brother, there are some things I want to ask you anyway." ”
"Why didn't you come to the clan meeting last night?"
Itachi was stunned, and his face gradually became solemn.
"As you can see, I have a task on my side and I don't have time. Itachi responded.
Sasuke's face suddenly showed a look of puzzlement, and he said, "In my brother's heart, is the task of the village more important than the meeting of the clan?"
Itachi didn't expect Sasuke to suddenly ask that.
He frowned, then looked at Sasuke and asked, "What the hell happened last night, why did you suddenly..."
"To answer my question, what is my brother's mind? ”
Sasuke pressed forward step by step, and didn't intend to explain anything else to Itachi.
Itachi was also seeing this expression on Sasuke's face for the first time.
He looked Sasuke in the eye and said, "Sasuke, it's true that we were both born in Uchiha and carry this surname on our backs. ”
"But you have to know more that whether it's the Uchiha or other surnames and families, we're all Konoha ninjas after all. ”
"Without the village, even the Uchiha, the most glorious surname in your and my hearts, would be meaningless. ”
Sasuke's eyes flickered, and he stared at Itachi's eyes tightly, and suddenly asked.
"So if, one day, I have to make a choice between the clan and the village, what will my brother do?"
...
