Chapter 9 Family Dinners
At noon, Chuan went home early, although the police department did not have a New Year's holiday, but everyone would tacitly take turns to go home for the New Year in their spare time.
Kawa, who is in his early thirties, looks tall and handsome in a decent family uniform, and the family of three follows the bluestone path to the remote back hall of the Uchiha clan, where Kawa grew up and where his father, Uchiha Kei, lives.
The older generation of the Uchiha retired like to live in some remote and quiet places, not only for kei, but most of the old people in the clan have this habit, with a little bit of seclusion.
However, I guess that because their generation has survived the blood and tears of the battlefield, they are more tired of noise and chaos, which will remind them of the battlefield from time to time, and the pain of parting relatives and friends who are wandering in life and death.
The main reason for living in this kind of place is to make it easier to appreciate this hard-won peace and calm, and perhaps part of the reason to remember old friends.
As soon as the family of three stepped into the courtyard, a man and a woman hurried over.
"Big brother and sister-in-law, you are here, and my father has been waiting for a long time." Both of them looked at the three of them with a friendly face, but the man's eyes were a little weird, as if with a hint of envy.
From the moment he first entered the door, Susuke felt that he had been staring at himself and Mina, what the hell was this guy looking at? It won't be jealous of the eldest brother's beautiful and gentle wife and cute and smart son.
Kawa's younger brother Uchiha Awai is also the number one master in the clan, and in terms of achievements alone, he is not much worse than Kawa, what can't he get? You need to be envious.
Being stared at by this kind of gaze, Jie always felt a little crazy, this guy shouldn't have any bad habits, I hope I didn't think much about it.
"Aunt Yazi, Uncle Akii, Happy New Year!" Stopping those strange thoughts, he stepped forward and bowed.
"Kosuke! I heard that you are a little genius at the ninja school, how about it, are you tired from school? The woman squatted down and touched Suke's head, smiling softly.
Hearing that Yan and Suke hadn't spoken, Akii said first: "As a ninja, it's good to be tired, work more on your strength, don't be like me...... Forget it, my father and second uncle are still waiting inside, let's go in first! Halfway through his words, Akii's face suddenly became gloomy, and the palm that had reached out to touch his head was withdrawn again, and he turned around and walked towards the house.
"Is Akui still like this?" Chuan sighed, his face a little worried.
"Well, I have been arguing with my father a lot recently, and sometimes I can't breathe with my father, and my father is in more pain, and his health has been getting worse and worse in recent years, and I am worried about ........" Bud Zi frowned, her eyes were red, and her face showed a hint of fatigue.
"Did something happen to Aunt Yazi, Uncle Akii?" Jie interjected with a curious expression.
"No, your Uncle Akui just has a bad temper, so don't make him angry." Bud shook her head with a smile.
Seeing that she didn't want to say more, Jie didn't continue to ask, but secretly kept an extra eye.
"Well, I'll take the time to talk to him, let's go first." Chuan sighed and walked towards the house first.
Bud nodded, pulled Chuan's arm and smiled again: "Come, let my aunt hug!" With that, he stretched out his arms and came to him.
Jie flexibly let go of his body and rushed from her side to Chuan's side, a 16-year-old middle ninja, who is placed in Konoha is the most ordinary road goods, and he will not necessarily lose if he fights head-on, not to mention unconscious movements.
"I've grown up, and now I dislike my aunt, my aunt is so sad!" The sprout said that she was sad, but in fact the sprout was full of smiles.
Jie already knows everything about her style, Kawa's mother died not long after giving birth to a bud, Chuan and Mina got married early, and she spent almost half of her time in this sister-in-law's house, so she was naturally very close to Suke.
If you want to talk about his grandfather's lineage, he is mostly familiar with it.
As the only seedling, the family is very good to him, and even Uchiha Akii, who has always been cold-faced, was very gentle when he saw him in the past.
In the room, the two old men were talking in a low voice, and after seeing Jie, they smiled at the same time, and the old man on the left patted his side and took the lead and said, "It's Xiaojie who is here, come and sit." ”
Although the tone was plain and regular, the joy on the old man's face could be clearly seen.
"Grandpa, second uncle, hello."
I didn't want people to think that they would only come to see the elderly on New Year's Day, so I deliberately avoided the topic of Happy New Year.
And the two old men were even happier when they saw that Jie was so polite, and affectionately grabbed his little hand and asked for warmth, whether it was bitter or not, whether it was tired or not.
When everyone was seated, the two servants brought a sumptuous lunch to the table.
The income of a ninja is not low, but it is by no means high, it is difficult for ordinary ninjas to afford to hire servants, and only people who are old and old in the clan like Uchiha Kei are qualified to have servants in the family.
Such a sumptuous feast, Jie can't eat it a few times a year, and because he is too young, no one chats with him, and the elders keep serving him vegetables, so he just holds the bowl and eats openly.
"Slow, slow, come, take a sip of juice." Bud patted Sukee on the back and poured him a glass of juice.
"Don't shoot, don't shoot, you remember, you only do this when you choke on eating, under normal circumstances, the more you shoot, the easier it is to choke."
Jiebai glanced at the sprouts, ate the vegetables and said while chewing, and then picked up the cup handed over and poured a few big mouthfuls.
"Okay, okay, you know a lot, do you want to go to your aunt's place after dinner?"
Jie shook his head and said with a sad face: "If you don't go, you will have to cultivate in a while, and the cultivation task is very heavy." ”
"It's peacetime, and you don't need to go to the battlefield, why work so hard and take a break from time to time, your father won't talk about you, right, sister-in-law?"
Bud thought that she was complaining to her that the cultivation task was too heavy, so she was naturally willing to help this little favor, and looked at Mina with a smile, after all, she was not a child of her own family, and if she agreed, she didn't need to consider Chuan's opinion.
Mina shook her head suspiciously: "Chuan Ke has never urged him, when he cultivates and when he plays, he arranges it himself." ”
"Forget it! Uncle Awai said that if you don't work hard to cultivate, you will become like him. "Isn't he going to tell her that in a few years it will be the third ninja war, this kind of talk can't be nonsense, and he also wants to know what happened to Akii.
Hearing this, Yazi's face turned red, and he laughed out loud.
Mina looked at the two of them with a serious face, she lowered her voice and said: You two remember, don't talk about this matter anymore, he is your brother and uncle, don't joke about this kind of thing. ”
"I see!" ×2
As soon as he finished speaking, Jie quietly attached himself to the ear of the bud and asked: Aunt Yazi, Uncle Akui said that if you don't cultivate well, you should be careful to become like him, what is it like that?
Jie is not dead.,Intent to open a breakthrough from the bud.,The bud is not old after all.,It's a lot worse than Mina in dealing with people and things.,Thinking and strategizing.,There's not so many scruples.。
"Go back and ask your father, I won't tell you." Talking about the bud, he shook his head and said firmly.
is worthy of being raised by Mina, and she really treats her as a mother, listening to her like this, she secretly slanders herself in her heart.
After three rounds of drinking, the rhythm of eating gradually stopped, and everyone began to gossip around interesting things, talking about the customs of various countries from anecdotes, and talking about the ugly things of various ethnic groups from the customs of various countries.
As he spoke, Uchiha Kei pulled the topic to the next patriarch of Uchiha.
"Chuan! The patriarch is old, and he will retire in two years, what do you think? ”
Uchiha Qing asked directly, running for the patriarch is not a secret, the Uchiha is not as complicated as Hinata, as long as the strength is enough, everyone can run for the patriarch.
But that's what I said, but most of the people who were elected each time were people from the four veins, and there were also people from the idle tribe, but there were very few people from the four veins.
The ninja's minions are very few, but there are many subordinates.
Take Uchiha Chuan as an example, as one of the captains of the guard department, more than half of the members of the team are his cronies, and if he goes through the normal procedure to run for the patriarch, then the people below him must be the most vocal.
After all, if the leader eats meat, how can he be a horse boy also have a mouthful of soup to drink, he is the captain, who is the patriarch is not the leader, and the fat and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders.
However, the premise of this situation is that the gap between the candidates is not large, and if you compare the four generations of Hokage and the Akido Dingza, if there is such a huge difference in prestige and strength, there will be a competitor.
So it's not clear who to choose, otherwise wouldn't it be ridiculous and generous to make a nobody, and it's not the Uchiha who is ashamed, at least you have to come to the platform at the level of Orochimaru, so in the same situation, they are all quite different.
However, in addition to this, there is another situation, that is, the elder and the old patriarch will be directly appointed after consultation, and the patriarch selected in this case will ask for whatever he wants, and it is also possible for him to be the patriarch.
Of course, it is only possible, as long as the elders of the clan are not fools, the probability of this possibility is about one in a thousand, and the Uchiha civilians and babies are far less than a thousand.
Moreover, this kind of patriarch who was elected through the consent of the elders must also win the hearts of the people and improve his prestige in the clan, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public.
Jie is also very concerned about this matter, he remembers that the future patriarch is Uchiha Fugaku, I don't know if he was elected late, or if there is still a gap in between.
If it is troublesome to have a gap between them, then it doesn't mean that the one who died in the three wars, and if Chuan is elected at this time, the mortality rate may be extremely high in terms of time.
But in fact, the mortality rate is very high whether to choose or not, according to Fuyue's current identity, he is just a high-ranking horse boy under the middle and high-ranking Uchiha Shimizu of another clan.
In this way, he can be the patriarch, and several other characters who are more outstanding than him can be imagined.
As for saying that Fu Yue surpassed his predecessors later, it is not impossible, how can he not have two brushes that can open a kaleidoscope.
Jie, who can't think clearly, will keep this matter in his heart for the time being, and there are still a few years before the third war.
Sometimes a sentence can lead to a big reversal of the ending, and there is no reason why a living person standing here can crucify the ending.
