Chapter 26: Father and Son Gossip
Meeting.
At this time, there was no difference between ninjas and ordinary people, each calling for friends, and discussing the lively content of the meeting while walking in twos and threes. In addition to their firmer steps, their eyes are sharper.
Uchiha Fugaku walked next to his father, Tomoo, slightly half a position behind.
"Fuyue, what do you think?"
Father's deep voice rang out.
Fuyue took a half step forward, looked sideways into his father's eyes, and replied while thinking:
"The daimyo's words are very harsh, and the impact of this incident on the people is too bad, and the village can't completely carry it down, so it's up to Lord White Fang to make up for it."
This is Lao Cheng's serious words, but in other words, it is empty words, which is equivalent to saying nothing, but Tomoo still smiled and nodded.
If you want to get out in politics, this kind of clichΓ© ability is also indispensable, but that's not what Tomoo wants to hear now:
"I mean, what do you think of the patriarch's reaction?"
One of the wealthy families of the year, the speed of the withering of the Qimu family made people feel sad that the rabbit died and the fox died, if it weren't for the demon of the white tooth Qimu Shuomao, he would have been excluded from Konoha's inner circle. But relying only on White Fang, now Qimu is only barely supporting, mixing a neutral position.
Without power and alliances, over the past few years, the Qimu family, which had been struggling to survive, finally won some respite, and some ordinary people in the clan who did not have the talent to become ninjas have been in business and have become more and more popular.
But Konoha is a ninja village after all, and the ninja world is the ninja world of ninjas after all, if the white fang falls, what the future fate of Qimu will be, it is really unpredictable.
Far away, no matter what happens to them, since the Hagi family remains neutral, then the Uchiha, who is not connected to Hagi, has no reason to wade into this troubled water.
But at the meeting just now, judging from the speech of the patriarch Uchiha Shigeru, there is quite a bit of "advance and retreat with the village" in it.
"The patriarch seems to be intent on wooing the Qimu family?"
Although Shigeru didn't say it directly, there were many hints in his words that if the village decided to keep the White Fang, he, as the patriarch of the Uchiha, would support the village's actions.
Faced with Fugaku's answer, Tomoo smiled and shook his head, his eyes flashing with wisdom:
"The patriarch doesn't mean to be in Hagi, but in Uchiha."
Fu Yue took a cool breath:
"Father, are you saying that the patriarch is actually using this opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to attack the Great Elder Department?"
Tomoo turned the corner and said leisurely:
"Do you know who the rise of the current patriarchal line originated from?"
"You mean, Kagami-sama?"
"That's right...... The former patriarch, Lord Kagami, was the most low-key of the 13 elders when he took over as the elder of his own lineage.
"But now, the mirror system is already the most powerful family in the clan in addition to the current great elder line, although the Fan people are still very young, but their prestige in the clan can already be equal to the great elders who have been in the position of elders for decades."
Even though he had already released the illusion to cover it before, Fu Yue unconsciously lowered his voice:
"Then what does this have to do with the patriarch's actions this time?"
"Kagami-sama," Tomoo said in a light tone, but if it weren't for the relationship between father and son, he wouldn't have said these words at all, "With the current Hokage, the third generation of the ape Tobihi-sama-sama are classmates, and they and the current root Danzo are all disciples of 'that adult'. β
Fu Yue lowered his head deeply, listening to his father peel off the most secret fig leaf of the upper echelons one by one:
"Don't think that until now, the family still belongs to the family, and the village belongs to the village, even the Uchiha, more than 40 years after the establishment of the village, has been inseparable from the towering tree [Konoha].
"It's been more than 40 years...... Even if it's me, I was born in Konoha, do you know what that means? β
Without waiting for Fugaku to answer, Tomoo withdrew his gaze from a distance, but instead of looking at his son, he looked seriously ahead:
"This means that the Konoha and the Uchiha are not juxtaposed, but contain the relationship-the Great Elder's set is outdated......"
Fu Yue listened, and suddenly felt a cold shiver rush up, even if the sun was shining and the voices were boiling, it could not be reduced by a single cent.
Tomoo Uchiha, the most respected advisor under the Great Elder, who was almost regarded as the heir to the lion, his own father, said in a completely outsider tone:
"Behind today's patriarch is actually the village...... It's not that the Bunmai clan seeks glory, but since Kagami-sama's generation, they have been committed to truly integrating the family into Konoha, and with the good personal relationship between Kagami-sama and the three generations, they have successfully won the support of the village.
"That's right, the patriarchal line is the pro-Hokage faction that the village has fostered in the family, but so what? As long as the family can continue, as long as you and I are not slaves of others, wouldn't it be a good thing to admit that we are part of Konoha like other families? β
Fuyue was silent, he grew up arguing with people from the patriarchal line since he was a child, and it was impossible for him to accept it all at once.
What's more, when my father said this, could it be that he had already decided to join the patriarchal line, or had he even become a nail inserted in the patriarch's line? This doubt turned into an invisible pressure, which hung heavily in his heart.
"Father, I ......"
Seeing through what his son was thinking at a glance, Tomoo was angry and funny, he frowned and glared at his son:
"What are you thinking? The Father has not been undisciplined to that extent! β
The big stone in Fu Yue's heart fell to the ground, a little embarrassed, and then he asked more curiously:
"Then there is ...... between you and the Great Elder"
Zhifu shook his head, indicating that there was really nothing he could do about this son, and when he heard this question, he was stunned, and said respectfully:
"The Great Elder is someone who really thinks about the family."
As he spoke, he raised his head, and the expression on his face proved that the admiration in his words was sincere:
He has a genuine affection for his family - he is willing to give everything for the family, no, it should be said that the great elder has dedicated his life to the survival and prosperity of the family.
"If there really is such a thing as the ninja way, the Great Elder is a great ninja who truly practices 'for the sake of the family' as his own ninja way!"
Fu Yue's eyes showed a look of doubt, he didn't have much contact with the Great Elder, and he obviously didn't know where his father's experience came from.
Uchiha Tomo Masasei says:
"Don't say anything else, 'the family belongs to the family, and the village belongs to the village, this set is outdated', it is the Great Elder himself who said this!"
