Chapter 58: Whistleblowing
It's not just Konoha higher-ups who are worried about the changes in the Uchiha clan.
Within the Uchiha clan, there are also people who are dissatisfied with this, especially those who previously occupied high positions, such as the Uchiha Iron Fire Brothers, and the Uchiha Yashiro himself.
These people have long been accustomed to a comfortable life, and it is almost impossible for them to work as hard as a worker bee every day like a young ninja. However, the new distribution mechanism determines each person's income based on work and tasks. The loss of their position is already a major blow to them, and if you add money, the conflict is not just a matter of negotiation.
But Uchiha Shisui turned a blind eye to the predicament of the former Uchiha clan leaders, and continued to spare no effort to promote change. It finally pushed things in a direction that most of the Uchiha's clansmen didn't want to see.
The outcome of this direction is that he will become the shortest-lived patriarch in Uchiha history.
"Your Excellency?"
Uchiha Yashiro was thinking crankily as he reminded again.
"Breaking the wind, you go out first."
Uchiha Shisui's gaze finally left from the black and white letters, and after glancing at Uchiha Yashiro faintly, he nodded and motioned for Uchiha to leave.
Uchiha Yashiro's heart beat violently, and for a moment, he felt that his plan had been completely seen through by the boy in front of him. He inhaled hard and hung his gray head, trying to calm his uneasiness.
"Humph!"
The Uchiha left with a cold snort.
The room fell silent, and a sudden silence enveloped the two of them.
"Huh?"
After half a ring, seeing that Uchiha Yashiro still didn't speak, Uchiha Shisui became a little impatient.
He didn't know that at this time, Uchiha Yashiro was experiencing an extremely difficult struggle in his heart.
"The Uchiha Iron Fire and the Uchiha Inaigo brothers attempted to assassinate the Patriarch You...
At the last moment when the words left his lips, Uchiha Yashiro changed his plans.
As one of the oldest ninjas to survive a big fight, he relied not only on ninjutsu and sharingan, but more importantly on an instinct for danger.
Uchiha Shisui sat quietly in front of him like this, but the sense of oppression brought to him was far greater than that of the fierce and vicious Uchiha Iron Fire Brothers.
It was a kind of mental crushing. Aside from "that adult", he had never seen a ninja before.
He knew he had made a mistake before. Fortunately, the words have not yet been spoken, and it is not too late.
"Oh?"
Uchiha Shisui looked at Uchiha Yashiro with a smile,
"The assassination of the current patriarch is such a thing, and the Uchiha Iron Fire brothers should not be publicized everywhere. How do you know? ”
Uchiha Yashiro raised his head slightly, and what he saw was a silent face, even if the mountain collapsed in front of him, that face would not be the slightest panic. This made him trust his instincts more and more.
"They wanted me to ask the patriarch alone to go to a secret location and assassinate him. Later, on the grounds that the patriarch was missing, he demanded that the patriarch election be held again. ”
"When, where?"
"Tomorrow night at ten o'clock, Nanga Shrine."
"Got it, I'll be on time. Thank you for your hard work... ”
The Uchiha nodded slightly, and once again turned his gaze back to the document in his hand.
There was silence in the room, and no one spoke.
Uchiha Yashiro looked at Uchiha Shisui with a nervous expression, and the man he called a little ghost not long ago sat indifferently in front of him and didn't look at him again.
Minutes and seconds passed, and until he left the room, the Uchiha Shisui didn't say a word more.
。。。。。。。。
Konan nimbly led the Uchiha Itachi around the forest in a strange serpentine shape, obviously familiar with the roads of this place. Unfortunately, from her direction, it was exactly the opposite direction to the location agreed upon by Uchiha Itachi and Kazuki Oni.
"Xiao Nan, how long are we going to run like this, I still have something to do...
The two of them rushed for less than half an hour, and the Uchiha Itachi stopped first.
"Are you an idiot? Can't understand what I'm saying? ”
Xiao Nan also stopped in desperation, and there was a trace of anger on her pretty face.
"How did you know my name?"
She suddenly realized something, and she was slightly startled at first, and then her voice became cold.
"This..."
Uchiha Itachi was also stunned, and then remembered that the two had never met before in this life, and how could they know each other's names.
"Who the hell is going to kill me? I made an appointment with a friend to meet in the Land of Rain.,You're really inexplicable.。。。 ”
He had an idea and quickly changed the subject.
"You're inexplicably wonderful...
Xiao Nan's face flashed with anger, and he looked at Uchiha Itachi's somewhat thin body, becoming more and more anxious,
"Anyway, it's a very powerful guy, you're not an opponent, so come with me quickly!"
"It's too late...
Uchiha Itachi shook his head with a wry smile.
As if to confirm his answer, not far in front of the two, the air began to twist and a white vortex began to spin violently.
"Xiao Nan, are you determined to go against me?"
The masked man's body had not yet appeared, and his angry voice was already rumbling in the air.
"Damn, you go, I'll stop him...
The sky suddenly turned white, and countless pieces of white paper rushed out of Xiao Nan's hands, turning into white shurikens, whistling and submerging the white whirlpool.
The masked man's body jumped out of the vortex like a black shadow, and a sky of paper shurikens passed through his body and fell to the ground like raindrops.
"What else would you do besides origami?"
A disdainful sound came from the masked man's mouth,
"I don't know what to do! I put up with you for so long for the sake of Nagato's face.,Otherwise, you can live to this day.。。。 ”
The masked man strode forward, pressing towards Xiao Nan step by step, with undisguised killing intent in his single eye.
。。。。。。。。
The rain in the air is still unstoppable.
It is as if the tears of a girl who has lost her lover will never stop.
In a dark room at Dawn's residence, a young man was anchored to a high seat by countless black iron pipes.
The man was naked, his eyes closed and motionless, looking like a corpse that had been dead for days.
As if feeling something, the man's thin and rugged body shook violently, and his eyes, which had not been opened for a long time, suddenly opened.
"Xiao Nan...
He squeezed a name out of his throat, and his voice was hoarse and unpleasant, not like a human sound.
No one responded, only the creepy voice echoing through the dark room.
