Chapter 43: The Wealthy Family
"That's it ahead!"
Early in the morning, Sasuke came to Nara's house, took Shikamaru and Shiro, and went to the Uchiha family's settlement.
The Uchiha family was ostracized to the edge by the Senju clan, and even the place where they lived was the most marginal area of Konoha.
However, the edge is considered a edge, and the environment here is very beautiful. Even, in the middle of the residential complex where the Uchiha family lived, there was an artificial lake.
It seems that the second generation Hokage Senju still invested a lot of money in order to squeeze the Uchiha clan out of the core layer.
It can be said that he granted such a large piece of land in Konoha Village at that time to the Uchiha clan and let it develop freely, which is equivalent to acquiescing to the Uchiha clan to establish a village within a village.
Of course, the Thousand Hands Door Naturally won't be so cheap for the Uchiha clan. Perhaps at the time, the Uchiha clan took a big advantage. That's a large area, almost half of Konoha Village. However, with the development of Konoha Village, the influx of outsiders has expanded the area of the village and become larger and larger. The area occupied by the Uchiha clan became more and more like a col in a pool, threatening to be flooded at any time.
In addition, almost all the members of the Uchiha clan have entered the Konoha garrison, and they cannot enter the core layer of Konoha power. The Uchiha clan could not influence the decision-making of Konoha Village at all, and let the resources in the hands of Konoha Village be tilted towards their side.
Therefore, over the years, the Uchiha, who was originally one of the biggest wealthy families in Konoha, is being marginalized step by step. Perhaps now, the people in Konoha Village still know that the Uchiha clan is the largest wealthy clan in Konoha. But if this trend continues, it is only a matter of time before the Uchiha clan is forgotten in the corner.
"It's really yin between a thousand hands!"
As Sasuke Uchiha walked towards his house, Shikamaru thought secretly.
Sasuke's mother, Uchiha Mikoto, was a very gentle woman, and when she saw Sasuke leading her friend back, she welcomed Shikamaru and Shiro very warmly.
"Last night Sasuke said that a friend would come to our house tomorrow and ask me to get refreshments ready, and I thought he was joking. My family Sasuke also made friends outside, which really surprised me! β
In the eyes of Uchiha Mikoto, her son is a good child who is a little introverted. She had no idea how high Sasuke was in the four or five-year-old crowd in Konoha Village. Together with Naruto Uzumaki, he is known as the double tyrant of the village, and he belongs to an existence that no one dares to mess with.
"Mother, what do you say?"
In front of his mother, Sasuke felt a little faceless and said angrily.
"Okay, let's talk, I'll go prepare some more fruit."
Uchiha Mikoto stood up, picked up the tray, and smiled very gently.
"Thank you for your hospitality!"
The three of them chatted in the room for a long time until Uchiha Fugaku came home from work from the Konoha Garrison. Shikamaru made a look, and Shiro immediately understood.
"Sasuke, the scenery near your house is good, can you take me to see it?"
"Okay!" Sasuke readily agreed, he was about to get up, and looked at Shikamaru without moving at all, "Shikamaru, aren't you going?" β
"Ahh Go ahead! I'll be here for a while! β
Sasuke didn't think much of it, and Kazuhaku quickly walked out.
Uchiha Fugaku changed his clothes, and he wanted to come and see Sasuke, but he didn't expect that Shikamaru was the only one left in the house where Sasuke and his friends were staying that Mikoto said.
"You're Nara Shikamaru!"
Uchiha Fugaku had long known that Shikamaru was coming, and as the captain of the Konoha Garrison, his source of information was much more light than Uchiha Mikoto.
Seeing that Sasuke was not there, Uchiha Fugaku asked straight to the point, "Say it!" What is the purpose of your visit? β
Uchiha Fugaku's stereotyped face has a gloomy temperament that makes people afraid. This is also one of the reasons why many Xiaoqiang, including Naruto, are reluctant to come to Sasuke's house.
"Naturally, I'm here for the Nara family!"
Shikamaru poured Tomiyaki a cup of tea and made a gesture of please, as if he was the master of the place.
Uchiha Fugaku was visibly surprised, but sat down anyway.
"The Nara family? Haven't you always been in the company of the Hokage? β
Shikamaru smiled, not in a hurry to answer, picked up the teacup, and looked in the direction beyond the courtyard.
"Itachi, you come out for me!"
Uchiha Fugaku let out a loud shout, and the figure of Uchiha Itachi appeared in the room.
"I don't care whose order you received, now, get out of here."
Uchiha Fugaku's voice was very stern. Uchiha Itachi glanced at Shikamaru, where the old god was there, and left here a little helplessly in the face of his father's coercion.
"The Uchiha, like Senju, was one of the elders who founded Konoha. But now, the people of the Thousand Hands family firmly hold the power of Konoha. The Uchiha clan is becoming more and more marginalized, and as the patriarch, aren't you anxious? β
Uchiha Fugaku glanced at Shikamaru and smiled, the gloom on his face melting.
"The Uchiha clan is a part of Konoha and will protect it no matter what!"
If it weren't for Shikamaru knowing the plot, he would have been deceived by Fuyue's acting skills at this moment. The sincerity on his face is not something that ordinary people can do.
"So, is the best way to protect it by rebellion?"
Shikamaru put down the teacup in his hand and said leisurely.
"What did you say!"
At that moment, Uchiha Fugaku's face was wonderful. Although it was not long before his face was calm again.
"It's ugly! You betrayed Madara Uchiha in the first place, but now you want to re-implement the plan he made in the beginning? β
Faced with Shikamaru's ridicule, Uchiha Fugaku almost had the intention of extinguishing his mouth. But at the last moment, he held back.
"What do you know?"
"The content on that inscription is fake!" Shikamaru's words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, resounding in Uchiha Fugaku's heart.
The biggest secret of the Uchiha clan was actually revealed by this childish person in front of him!
"Maybe you followed Madara Uchiha in the first place, and there was still a chance of success. But now! Even if you succeed in a coup d'Γ©tat, you will never be able to get the approval of the people in the village. What's more, the people of the Thousand Hands have already been on guard against you. So, give up! β
Uchiha Fugaku was silent for a long time, and finally seemed to think of something. He looked at Shikamaru and stood up silently, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
"So, you're here today just to be a lobbyist for a thousand hands? Maybe we made a mistake at the beginning, but now, we will never do it again. β
"I'm not going to be that boring." Facing Fugaku, who was flooded with killing intent, Shikamaru did not move at all, "I have already said that I am here for the Nara family. β
"What do you want?"
"I want Nara to become the fourth big family in Konoha after Senju, Uchiha, and Hinata! So, this time, I came to make an alliance between Nara and the Uchiha! β
~~~ I suddenly found myself too lazy, and the second one was offered~~~~
