Chapter 116: The Persecution of Tuanzang
"The order of the village is that all your Uchiha ninjas must be transferred back to the village, but it has been nearly half a month since the order was issued, and the ninjas of your Uchiha clan have not returned to the village at all, how can this be explained?"
In the Hokage's office, there was a chill in the warm air, and Sarufei and Danzou summoned Fugaku to give him a reasonable explanation for his refusal to carry out the order.
"Tuan Zang, you don't have to be so tense, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and today I called Fu Yue to understand the situation, not to ask the teacher to ask for guilt."
As soon as Tuan Zang's words fell, Ape Fei hurriedly excused himself and criticized Tuan Zang for not being the one, explaining to Fuyue that they were not hostile.
For a long time, Sarufei and Tuan Zang have dressed up in red and black faces, beating and pulling, and leveling many ninja families in Konoha in this way.
Fu Yue remained silent, looking coldly at the performances of Ape Fei and Tuan Zang. Before, he would have been a little grateful for Sarutobi's maintenance, but since the conflict between the Uchiha and the village began, he has slowly learned to see things from the perspective of the clan. He gradually understood that it may be Uchiha's enemy who is cold to Uchiha, but it may be Uchiha's greater enemy who is kind to Uchiha.
"For a long time, the ninjas in the clan were managed by each clan themselves, and only in times of war would ninjas be dispatched to the village. Now that Konoha has achieved peace, the ninjas of the clan think that there will be no conflict in the short term, and they have started their own cultivation plans, and even I, the patriarch, don't know where they are hiding. ”
Fu Yue's face did not change, and he said eloquently, this is the response he has thought of a long time ago, why only transfer all the ninjas of the Uchiha clan back, so as to wait for the Konoha urn to catch turtles and catch them all?
Strengthen the defense of the clan, support each other inside and outside, and absolutely not transfer all forces back to the village. In private, Itachi resolutely persuaded Fugaku to withstand the pressure of Tuanzang and Sarufei, and repeatedly promised that with his existing strength, he could completely resist Konoha's sudden attack.
"You ninjas of the Uchiha clan are full of arrogance and unruliness, and they have been wandering outside for a long time, so it is inevitable that they will not clash with the ninjas of other countries and affect the peace of Konoha. You have to improve your strength, there are many clean places in the back mountains of Konoha, and I can assign them to you. ”
Tuan Zang's tone was solemn, and he seemed to be incomprehensible. He was accustomed to saying the same thing at the root, and every time someone objected or politely rejected him, he felt that his dignity had been violated.
Ape Fei smiled on the side, his eyes hidden a cold light that no one could see. This Fu Yue has not been so difficult to deal with before, as long as he puts pressure and coaxes him again, he will compromise, why is he insisting that Qingshan will not relax today? You know, transferring the ninjas outside the village back to Uchiha did fall into the encirclement of Konoha but also strengthened the power of the clan to a certain extent, and he didn't understand why Fugaku resisted so resolutely.
Could it be that Fuyue doesn't want to fight for the clan land, but also to leave the seeds outside? Ape Fei thought, what a stupid idea, the clan land is gone, what's the use of leaving some stragglers outside.
"Instead of discussing the issue of the Uchiha's ninjas affecting Konoha's peace, I remember that the Ninja of the Root has made their own decisions many times and caused a lot of trouble for Konoha." Fuyue glanced at Tuan Zang and sneered.
Danzang's hand was tightly gripping the crutches, and the green tendons were bulging, if it weren't for the Hokage Building, the village was not completely sure, he would have taken down Fugaku a long time ago.
Back then, Danzou and Sanshoyu Hanzo teamed up to secretly destroy the Akatsuki organization, but Nagato's last-minute outburst made his efforts come to naught. Although he escaped, the shock left by Nagato is still fresh in his memory, for so many years, he has been stabbed in the back, and I don't know when the red-haired boy will come to take revenge.
He has always relied on Konoha's strong strength and doesn't take the forces he offended in his eyes, but he has always caused a lot of trouble behind his back, but he is always a little apprehensive in his heart. In recent years, Konoha's ninjas have gone to the Land of Rain to carry out missions, and basically there is no return, and he is somewhat to blame.
Ape Fei knew more or less about these things, but he didn't care much about it, and he was hiding outside to consume the power of the roots. Now, Fugaku openly raised the topic, and he didn't hesitate to slap Tuan Zang in the face.
"Since the Fugaku patriarch has his own discipline for the ninjas of the Uchiha, I don't want to say more."
Danzo calmed down, took out a scroll, put it in front of Fugaku, and said, "Now that the rebellion of the Twelve Shinobi is over, the safety of the Daimyo should be the responsibility of Asma, who was once the Twelve Shinobi. But the daimyo appointed the Uchiha clan as a guard without Konoha's permission, and you thought of the wording and rejected the daimyo! ”
Fugaku took the scroll, and on it was an edict from the daimyo to Konoha, and the content was similar to the scroll held by Itachi. Theoretically, the daimyo had the right to choose his own bodyguard, a power that the first daimyo had earned. Listening to the meaning of Tuanzang's words, Konoha wants to completely control the daimyo and let him be a puppet with peace of mind.
"Also, the few ninjas that Uchiha left with the daimyo should also be transferred back."
Tuan Zang squinted at Ape Fei, as if to say, "Ape Fei, Fuyue is not the stunned young boy he used to be, it's not easy to deal with!" "At this meeting, if you can't convince Fugaku to transfer the ninjas in the clan back to Konoha, at least let Fugaku resign from the call to protect the daimyo. Guarding the daimyo clan can give the Uchiha great fame.
"The Uchiha clan is the ninja family of Konoha and the ninja family of the Fire Country. We, the Uchiha clan, love not only Konoha Village, but also the Land of Fire, and respect the Daimyo from the bottom of our hearts. Many people in the clan were sincerely happy to hear about the daimyo's favor. If I refuse the Daimyo's summons regardless of the wishes of the people, not only will the people of the clan not be convinced, but the people of the Land of Fire will think that the Uchiha does not respect the Daimyo enough. ”
Fu Yue carefully looked at the summoning words on the scroll, frowning deeply, feeling a little embarrassed.
Damn, respect the Daimyo, now the ninja family of Konoha , who else really respects the Daimyo, you can tell it. Tuan Zang scolded in his heart, but he couldn't publicly accuse Fugaku, after all, the daimyo was still the nominal leader of the Fire Country.
"So, you're not willing to refuse the Daimyo's call?"
Tuan Zang opened his eyes and asked.
"The Uchiha clan is not my sole decision, I need to convene an elder council in the Hui clan before I can give a clear answer."
Fu Yue didn't want to directly clash with Tuan Zang, so he adopted the tactic of procrastination, dragging it out first.
Tuan Zang was very angry, and Fuyue rejected his proposals one after another, which made him feel that his dignity had been violated. Normally, Konoha ninjas would not refuse small requests even if they rejected one of his big requests. But today, Fu Yue rejected both of his requests, and his heart was restless, as if he was about to reach out and pull out Fu Yue's eyes as soon as he waved his hand.
Finally, Tuan Zang suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and turned his head to look at Ape Fei, who had been sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, "I've done my best, and I'll leave it to you next!" ”
"The safety of the daimyo is important, and it is not impossible to be escorted by the ninjas of the Uchiha without a concrete plan. But Fuyue, you must know that only when a village and a voice are united will there be strength. The Daimyo appointed the Uchiha clan as a guard, in fact, in order to divide Konoha and weaken Konoha's power, and create a conflict between Uchiha and Konoha, you must not be fooled. ”
Ape Fei stood up, put his hands behind his back, walked in front of Fu Yue, and taught earnestly, "You go back and discuss it with the clansmen, I believe that you will not let me down." ”
"Ape Fei, just let him go back like this?"
After Fugaku left, Tuanzang was dissatisfied.
"What else can you do if you don't let him go back? Is Konoha ready for war with the Uchiha? ”
Sarufei retorted, his brows furrowed, it was not so easy to pull out the Uchiha. He waved his hand annoyedly and sent Danzo away, rubbing his temples as he pondered how to take down the Uchiha at the lowest cost.
On the way back to his roots, Tuan Zang stroked his bandaged arm, planning in his heart, "The technology of transplanting the writing wheel eye has fully matured, and my writing wheel eye plan should also be implemented." ”
