Chapter 256: Ultimatum
Three minutes of time.
Ultimatum.
Guanyue stood at the foot of the steps leading to the main hall of the shrine, tilting his head slightly, smiling, and looking directly at the elders on the steps.
"Damn, arrogant imp."
"You can't bow your head when you say anything, otherwise where is the dignity of the Uchiha?"
"What about Fugaku? Why hasn't the patriarch shown up yet? ”
The old men were in a mess, and the remaining active Uchiha people around them were either standing on the steps or scattered on both sides of the approach, but no one rushed up to fight.
Starting from the destroyed torii gate, more than 200 clansmen fell on both sides of the approach of just fifty meters, twenty-two of the upper ninja, and the rest were special upper ninjas and elite middle ninjas, with injuries ranging from severity to severity, although none of them were life-threatening, but they also lost their mobility for a while.
"Guanyue, this bastard, is too strong, right? Shangnin slapped and flew out like a doll, tsk, fortunately, I didn't listen to those old men just now······"
Yi Yu didn't think that the bastard who watched the moon would treat him very favorably.
At this moment, a cry for help was heard not far away.
"Otoha, you little bastard, hurry up and get me down, my leg is stuck."
On the tall old pine tree, there hangs a middle-aged uncle with a broken leg, who is injured and caught in the broken branches.
"Oh, I said why does it look so familiar, it turns out to be Uncle Liutang! You've had a lot of fun! I didn't expect to like this tune······"
"You... You little bastard······"
Uncle Liutang almost didn't come up in one breath, and was angry to death by Yiyu, the little bastard.

"Lord Fugaku, do you really leave it alone?"
The adjutant asked worriedly.
"Tube? Why bother? Shouldn't it be common sense to wipe your own ass clean? ”
At the large desk, Fugaku sat steadily in his chair, holding a teacup in one hand and flipping through this month's financial report in the other, not at all taking the conflict that was breaking out at the shrine to heart.
"Since it's the elders themselves who are causing trouble, why bother looking for me, the patriarch, to wipe their butts for them, when they cause trouble, they don't remember that there is me as the patriarch, and when they are beaten, they cry and shout for help······ No, I should have ordered me to wipe their butts with arrogance······"
Beads of sweat fell from the adjutant's head, and his heart beat like a drum.
The attitude of the one sent by the Elders to ask for help was extremely disrespectful, obviously provoking Lord Fuyue.
The Uchiha clan is not really a monolith, the patriarch of Fugaku is actually quite lucky, not all of the clansmen are his supporters, and there are many opponents, but no one in the younger generation can compete with him, so he didn't take much effort to inherit the position of patriarch.
However, this is not the end of the struggle, but only the beginning.
Those in the presbyterian church who are unwilling to give up the power in their hands, those who are not accustomed to Fuyue's style of acting, and those who have other ideas themselves, the opposition has gathered together and has been tirelessly competing with Fuyue for power.
This time, it was just another struggle.
The Council of Elders obviously wanted to take advantage of Fu Yue's absence from the family to suppress Guanyue, set up a banner that could not be violated by the clan rules, and cultivate its own authority.
"A group of old fools, do you really think that the outstanding performance of the whirlpool moon watching on the battlefield again and again is a fluke? I haven't been on the battlefield for too long, and sure enough, I've forgotten how to fight. ”
With a cold sneer, Fu Yue didn't hide his disgust for the old guys at all.
If it weren't for the obstruction of those old guys, he wouldn't have worked so hard to implement the method of change, a group of foolish insects who were immersed in the glory of the past and did not want to look directly at the future dangers of the family, from the heroes who made great contributions to the family in the past, to the moths of today.
"But my lord, the shrine is going to be demolished······ If this continues, the family's face will really be gone. ”
The lieutenant who can be qualified for Fuyue is naturally an absolute supporter of the Uchiha clan, so even in the face of Fuyue's terrifying face that is not angry and arrogant, he dares to say one or two disobedient words.
“······ At most, some of the annexes will be damaged, but the main hall, worship hall, coin hall, kaguraden, dance hall, etc., will not suffer any damage, so I can guarantee that. ”
Fugaku's deep and suppressed voice sounded.
The young adjutant was stunned, and he couldn't understand why the patriarch, who hadn't even taken a step out of the office, was able to grasp the affairs of the shrine, and it was so conclusive······ Unless······
"It's just a private agreement, I will admit the marriage between Uzumaki Guanyue and Uchiha Otome as the patriarch, and on the other hand, Guanyue will clean up the old foolish insects for me, and I will never allow the future of the family to be eaten away by this group of moths, for this reason, even if it is to join forces with demons, I will not hesitate."
"Goo-dong!!"
The sound of swallowing saliva was extremely loud, and Fu Yue's coffin face was indifferent, but the adjutant who made the voice was startled by himself.
Looking at the patriarch who was still concentrating on reviewing the report, he froze in place, like a mud puppet.
Being able to be selected from many clansmen to be Fuyue's adjutant, in addition to being loyal, his brain is not stupid, and from Fuyue's short words, he roughly understands the cause and effect.
The patriarch and the Lord of the Konoha Calamity had already reached an agreement in private, easily putting the self-righteous Elders' Council into their pockets, and through the hands of outsiders, they dealt a severe blow to the prestige of the Elders' Council, and then came forward to clean up the mess and take advantage of the situation to collect the loyalty of a wave of clansmen······
"Don't think about it there, even if it's me, it's impossible to know that those old fools will take people to the shrine, and there is more than one place for discussion, if they don't provoke the moon watcher, how can they cause trouble? Even the lawless beast doesn't bite people indiscriminately, everything is the fault of the old fools. ”
"It's a shrine······ It was completely caused by this group of old guys. ”
Fuyue gritted his teeth, the territory of the Uchiha family is wide enough, and there are places for deliberations, but they want to make trouble at Nanhe Shrine, a group of old things······
“······ Patriarch, when are we going to clean up the pieces? ”
The adjutant's face regained his calm, as a staunch patriarch, after experiencing the initial wavering, he quickly strengthened his heart, no matter whether what the patriarch said was true or false, he would not have any dissent.
Because they firmly believe that compared to the Presbyterian Church, which cannot keep up with the progress of the times, the Fuyue patriarch can lead the family to develop and grow, and for this, some special means are also necessary.
"Time? Let me see. ”
Fugaku glanced up at the wall clock on the wall.
“······ It's time to go, and go rub the butts of our honorable and wise elders! What an unpleasant job······"
The adjutant followed behind Fugaku, listened to the patriarch's complaints, and closed his mouth tightly to ensure that no strange noise was made.
