Chapter 12: The Patriarch's Position
A month later. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Both Kakashi and Obito's bodies have recovered. (By the way, the two of you have really been lying down for a month...... )
The battle between Konoha and Iwa Shinobi has entered its most intense moment, and the front line of the war has deployed more than 2,000 ninja armies on each other, and both sides have gambled their last strength to decide the victory in one fell swoop.
However, unexpectedly, the battle on the front line did not go well, and Konoha's battle line was completely suppressed from all sides by Iwa Shinobi, who occupied a favorable position. Coupled with the departure of Konoha Sannin not long ago, and the suicide of Konoha White Fang, all this made Konoha's war situation fall into disadvantage.
Konoha high-level in order to cope with the grim situation on the front line. No, it is no longer enough to describe the situation that Konoha is facing at the moment, and it can even be described as "extremely severe".
There are three battlefields in Konoha against Iwa Ninja Village, and the largest battlefield is the "Edge of the Wasteland" located on the border between the Fire Country and the Earth Country. Nearly three-quarters of the forces of both sides were concentrated there, and more than three thousand ninjas were deployed here. Fighting takes place almost every day, and this is the battlefield with the highest death rate.
The second and third places are the border areas of "Yehui Canyon" and "Shenwukun River" respectively. These two sites are extremely important because of their geographical advantages, but because they are extremely remote, they are not suitable for the deployment of large numbers of troops. But because of this, the quality of the ninja who can appear here is not as strong as ordinary.
According to rumors, the elite troops of the Yan Shinobi have entered the area of the Kannakun River, and the relative Konoha elite is entangled by the ninjas of the Yehui Gorge and it is difficult to get out, so the situation in the area of the Kannakun River is extremely grim. The request for support has been expedited to the Hokage's higher-ups.
So, this is the appearance of Uchiha Obito and Kakashi Hachiki.
Hokage Building.
The landmark building of Konoha Village is also the most heavily guarded place in the entire Konoha Village. Three generations of Hokage and Konoha high-ranking people are here. The atmosphere in the whole room was gloomy, and everyone present was silent, and their expressions were grim and silent.
Bo Feng Shuimon stood in front of Obito and Kakashi, facing the scrutinizing gaze of the higher-ups alone.
Danzo, the three Hokages, the two advisors, as well as the shadows of Konoha and some of the shinobi are here.
After a moment of silence, the first to speak was the third Hokage.
“…… Watergate, you should also understand the purpose of calling you here this time. The heavy tone, the hoarse voice, the slightly vicissitudes of life of the three generations of Hokage's faces were full of tiredness. If he could, the three generations of Hokage really wanted to avoid the situation from continuing to deteriorate, but now that it was a life-and-death crisis, there was no room for any weakness.
The three generations of Hokage cherish the lives of the ninjas in the village, and on the eve of the outbreak of the war, he and Iwage, who are already in frequent movements, want to hold a meeting, but they can't do it. And over time, the war broke out without anyone expecting it.
Looking at the young faces of Watergate in front of him, and the two talented children standing behind Watergate. The sadness and anger of the three Hokages that can melt steel fill his entire inner world. So when he made the decision, the eyes of the three generations of Hokage became extremely terrifying in an instant, it was a look full of destruction and killing, and hatred for Iwa Shinobi, who broke out the war without permission.
"The goal is very clear, to ensure that the Kannakun River area belongs to our Konoha side and to clear all obstructors." The third Hokage said. "Also, I don't think you should know it if I don't say it. The Kannakun area has already gathered the elites of the Iwana ninja, although most of them are not as good as the Iwaninja on the frontal battlefield, but I heard that the elite guards of the Iwannobi have also entered the Kannakun area. Even if it's called a golden glitter, you have to be careful. “
Bo Feng Shuimen nodded, and said seriously after taking the task scroll handed over by the dark department.
"I understand the importance of this very well, and our class will definitely succeed in completing the mission."
"Well, very good." The three generations of Hokage nodded in satisfaction. The three generations of Hokage are still very trusted, this young and promising and very talented, and most importantly, the Konoha ninja who cares for the younger generations is very optimistic about the three generations of Hokage.
The advisor and former companion of the three generations of Hokage, Advisor Koharu, who is old but still sharp, focuses his attention on the two people behind Bo Feng Shuimen.
"Kakashi Hachiki, Uchiha Obito. Both of you are Konoha best rising star ninjas, and the value you have as ninjas should be clear even if I don't talk about yourself. Especially the Uchiha Obito, the importance of you in your clan is not ordinary. But since they will call you over, you should also know the attitude of the Uchiha clan towards you, right? “
Kakashi and Mizuto looked at Obito at the same time, and the latter shrugged his shoulders as if he didn't care.
"The decision of the Uchiha clan is experience, and it is difficult to refine real gold without entering the fire is the attitude of the Uchiha elders. I already knew this from last night's family meeting. “
Hearing this, Koharu said no more and sat back in his seat.
The third Hokage looked at Obito and said, "Obito's talents are very valuable no matter where you go, and I can already see this from the two ninjutsu you have developed. However, because of this, I can also understand the nervousness of the Uchiha clan towards you. I don't want to push young kids into battle, but the situation doesn't allow us to hesitate. You and Kakashi set off tonight with the water gate, making sure your whereabouts are hidden. “
In such a hurry? Obito was stunned for a moment, and then got an affirmative look from Bo Feng Shuimen. This time it was a little unexpected, but the preparations before leaving had been completed, and even "that" had been successfully studied the day before yesterday, and the next step was the actual combat test.
Before that, though......
"Three generations of Hokage-sama, do you remember what I asked you to do before this?"
Obito said suddenly.
Suddenly, everyone's eyes were focused.
"............" the third generation smoked his pipe, and then said in a deep voice. "Are you referring to the fact that Rin Nohara was given a disqualified evaluation for the application for graduation?" “
Everyone looked at Obito in surprise, including Bo Feng Shuimen and the two advisors. And only Kakashi showed a look that was exactly what happened.
"Hmph...... You're a terminally ill patient. Kakashi snorted with a smile and fell silent with his back against the wall.
"That's impossible!" The man who gave the categorical denial was the man who had just melted into the darkness like a shadow, the chaos, the silence, and the danger that took all this into his own bosom, and the man who guarded Konoha in the name of darkness. Danzo!
Obito cast a vague and cold gaze over to the man who seemed to be completely melted into the darkness.
"For Konoha to be strong and victorious, the strength of every ninja is necessary. There is no personal emotion mixed here, even if it is a little girl who has not graduated. Her future is not up to you or the three generations of Hokage, but to be decided by whether Konoha needs it or not! Danzang asserted.
"Danzo ......" what the three generations of Hokage wanted to say.
"Shut up Ape Fei, you're so weak that's why you let those bastards of Iwa Shinobi take advantage of the loophole!" Danzang didn't give the three generations of Hokage any face at all, and said directly. And his character seems to have been known to those present for a long time, so no one came out to say anything.
Obito stepped forward, looking a little angry.
"I remember that I should have made a pact with three generations of old men, right? At the cost of fighting with all my might on the battlefield, and in the future, when I inherit the position of the head of the Uchiha clan, I will allow ordinary ninjas to join the Uchiha garrison on the premise of implementing reforms within the Uchiha garrison. Taking this promise as a price in exchange for Nohara Rin not appearing on the battlefield of the Third Ninja World War, this should have been agreed between the two sides! “
This remark immediately caused the surprise of the surrounding Shinobi and even the dark department, and even the two advisors looked at Obito with wide eyes in surprise. This remark is undoubtedly like dropping a bombshell on the already unstable Konoha that the Uchiha clan who held the garrison in their hands with all their might would implement reforms?
This also means that the power that was originally completely controlled by the Uchiha clan will be controlled by foreign ninjas and even the family behind it.
This kind of thing is impossible to imagine before today, and the Uchiha clan will not give up their last foothold in Konoha even if they die. But now the imp said that he would reform the Uchiha clan internally! How much credibility does this have in mind? Everyone present was deep in thought.
"Hmph, nonsense. Just because you're a stinking imp who wants to become the patriarch of the Uchiha clan? Are your elders all crazy? Tuan Zang sneered and teased.
However, at this moment, several Uchiha Shinobi on the side stood up to replace Obito to prove.
"Lord Danzang, the elders have already announced their decision at yesterday's family meeting. When the Third Ninja World War is over, if Obito-sama can make a name for himself in the ninja world with fame and power that is not inferior to the golden flash, then when the Third Ninja World War ends, it will be time for Obito-sama to take the position of patriarch. “
"Of course, if Obito-sama doesn't meet the standard of golden glitter in the Third Ninja World War, or unfortunately dies on the battlefield. Then the above is naturally invalid. However, considering Obito-sama's talent and growth rate, I think it's better for Danzo-sama not to underestimate Obito-sama, after all, he is now the future young patriarch of our Uchiha clan anyway. So can you ...... Please be a little respectful?! Danzo! “
After saying that, several Uchiha ninja opened their eyes in an instant, and four or five pairs of red and shiny writing wheel eyes stared at Danzang and the root members behind him, with a great momentum that if you continue to be rude, you will come to fight. And as for the consequences of such an action, for the Uchiha people who were already feeling their pride insulted, that kind of thing was not considered at all!
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense, and the ninjas of the Uchiha clan and the ninjas of the root clan glared at each other, while the upper ninja belonging to the Shadow and Hokage factions took a step back. The three major circles of influence in Konoha Village were perfectly displayed, and they were unexpectedly very dramatic.
