Chapter 45: The Patriarch
There was a faint uneasiness in Rey's heart.
In his opinion, the battle has dragged on for too long.
He thought that in order to kill the Uchiha Itachi, he had made enough preparations. But at this time, he realized that he still underestimated the strength of Uchiha Itachi.
The battle, which should have ended half an hour ago, was still in a stalemate. Every time he thought his attack was about to land on Itachi Uchiha, Itachi would slip out of his fist like a fish.
At this moment, although his own side still has the advantage, the Uchiha Itachi is trapped in the encirclement, so that he can never break through.
But the companion next to him has gradually shown fatigue, and it looks like he can't last long.
Rey once again burst out of the Uchiha Itachi's sight, and his right fist, wrapped in white chakra, silently stabbed Uchiha Itachi's heart from behind.
Once again, his attack landed in the air.
Itachi Uchiha's back seemed to have eyes, and he moved sideways half a second before his fist hit his body, narrowly avoiding the blow.
There was a sound of "rustling" in the forest, and there should be more than one person listening to the sound and movement.
Rey grew agitated.
"Hurry up, someone's coming!"
Rey roared, and the chakra all over his body skyrocketed, pulling out a power grid more than two meters long between his fists.
A shrill birdsong rang out abruptly in front of him, enveloping the Uchiha Itachi along with the grid.
As if the horn of the charge was sounded, all the cloud ninjas became crazy in an instant.
The violent chakra aura rose in Rey's roar, blending into a devastating hurricane that swept towards the Uchiha Itachi, intending the long battle with this blow.
γγγγγγγγ
Uchiha Itachi stood silently in place, the shadows of fists and ninja swords illuminating his entire body.
He lowered his head slightly, no longer in a defensive posture, as if he had given up resistance.
It's just that for some reason, at this life-and-death juncture, the corners of his mouth are slightly hooked, revealing a mysterious smile.
The smile fell into Rey's eyes, more like a mockery.
To express his displeasure with Itachi's smile, Rey let out a beastly roar in the air.
However, his ears could not hear his own voice.
At this moment, the deafening sound of water waves filled everyone's eardrums.
Rey looked up in dismay.
A wave of water several meters high fell from the sky right in front of his eyes, like magma erupting from a volcanic crater, and swept everyone into the water with a thunderous force.
Yun Ren was bound to win, and in an instant, he was swept away by a huge wave like a papier-mΓ’chΓ© house.
In the midst of the huge waves, a giant shark with a human face just soared into the air, and a cloud ninja couldn't dodge in a hurry, and was bitten in two by the giant shark.
The blood stained the waves blood-red, like the blood-colored eyes of the Uchiha Itachi.

Just as the middle ninja exam was about to end, something big and small happened in Konoha.
In the election of the head of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Fugaku, who had been the head of the Uchiha clan and the captain of the Konoha police force for many years, was unexpectedly defeated and replaced by a shinobi named Uchiha Shisui.
Although Uchiha Fugaku has made few achievements during his tenure as the patriarch, it is not easy to maintain a superficial harmony between Konoha and the Uchiha clan. And over the years, he has been conscientious in his official affairs, and his popularity and prestige are quite good.
For some reason, at the juncture of increasingly tense relations between the Uchiha clan and Konoha, it was defeated by the little-known Uchiha Shisui hand.
The relationship between the Uchiha clan and Konoha was already increasingly estranged, and coupled with the impact of the Nine-Tails attack, most Konoha people naturally had a wary attitude towards the Uchiha clan. And now that the middle ninja exam is going on at the last moment, people are busy inquiring about the latest situation of the middle ninja exam, and this news is quickly forgotten.
The trivial things that ordinary people don't care about may not be the case in the eyes of the upper echelons of Konoha.
At least three generations of Hokage Ape Flying Sun Slash don't think so.
In the Hokage's office, Sarutobi lowered his head and smoked a smoky cigarette, and his favorite tobacco taste in the past became bitter at this time.
"What do you think about this?"
He threw his pipe impatiently on his desk and looked up at Tuanzang, who was sitting precariously.
"Isn't that little imp of the Uchiha clan called Shisui the one you've been focusing on cultivating? Wouldn't it be right for you to be the patriarch ... β
Tuan Zang's face was teased.
"The most important reason why Uchiha Shisui returned to the Konoha Police Force was his father's death. As for how his father died, you know better than I do. β
Ape Fei Ri stared at Tuan Zang, his face and gaze turned cold.
"Ahem... Cough... β
Tuan Zang coughed a few times unnaturally, and changed the topic,
"Uchiha Fugaku is old-handed, with strength but no ambition. He wants to maintain the current peace with Konoha and has a gentle personality, which makes him suitable as a lubricant between Konoha and the Uchiha clan. If it had been placed in the past, he would naturally be the best candidate for the patriarch. β
"And now?"
"Now..."
Danzang smiled gloomily and did not continue.
"What do you mean?"
Ape Feiri's brow furrowed, but his gloomy face gradually eased.
"Young people are always more impulsive, and they naturally don't handle things as seriously as Uchiha Fugaku Laocheng. Besides, Uchiha Shisui has only just taken office, and there will definitely be many dissatisfied voices within the Uchiha clan. If you put some pressure on the Uchiha clan at this time, there will be some encouragement from the Uchiha clan who are loyal to Konoha later. Whether he can sit firmly in the position of patriarch is a question. For Konoha, this is a great opportunity to split the Uchiha clan from within. β
Tuan Zang stood up, looking like he couldn't stand the smell of smoke in the room anymore, and was ready to leave.
"There's some truth to that. It's just a pity that Uchiha Shisui is a good boy... β
Ape Feiri's eyes lit up, and he sighed deeply randomly, revealing a look of regret.
"Old guys like us never put all their eggs in the same basket. The Uchiha water stop is just an egg in one of your baskets.,What's the pity.γγγ β
Danzang sneered, and a look of disgust couldn't help but appear on his face.
"Huh...
Sarutobi smirked dryly and turned his head to the transparent floor-to-ceiling window of the Hokage's office.
Outside the window, the sunset burns the leaves red, and she is as beautiful as a beauty with heavy makeup.
