Uchiha clan land, Nanga Shrine,

At the invitation of the patriarch and elders, Uchiha Rin came to this secret place of the Uchiha clan.

Walking up the stairs and through the torii, Rin Uchiha saw the patriarchs and elders of the Uchiha clan who had been waiting for a long time.

"Is there anything wrong with looking for me so late?" Rin Uchiha asked in a casual tone.

Looking at Rin Uchiha's sloppy and unkempt clothes, an elder frowned and said, "As an elite of the Uchiha clan, don't you even have basic dress etiquette?" ”

"You're not my father, I want you to take care of it!"

Uchiha Rin scolded back directly, and he didn't have any face for the elder at all.

The elder snorted, instantly furious, and pointed the wooden staff in his hand at Rin Uchiha and scolded: "You girl, if it weren't for the mirror, I..."

"Don't make any noise!"

Without waiting for the elder to finish speaking, the Uchiha patriarch on the side scolded.

The elder glanced at the patriarch and stared at Rin Uchiha with indignation, but he still chose to keep his mouth shut.

"Hmph, old thing."

Rin Uchiha scolded again.

"You also restrain yourself, the people present are all elders of the Uchiha clan, and it's not something you can insult at will."

The Uchiha patriarch warned her again.

"Say something quickly." Rin Uchiha urged.

He didn't pay any attention to all the elders present.

If other clansmen see this, they will definitely be surprised, and the patriarch has no way to cover his head for her attitude.

After all, Uchiha Rin is the descendant of the Uchiha Mirror, and she herself is also the first day talent in the current clan, and even the greatest hope and reliance for the revival of the Uchiha clan in the future.

Even as the patriarch, he didn't have the slightest way to see her presumptuous, and over time, he turned a blind eye like this.

The Uchiha patriarch coughed lightly and said solemnly, "I called you here this time for the sake of the middle ninja exam in the near future. We've all heard about Fugaku's defeat, and I've discussed it with the elders in agreement, and the defeat of the Uchiha clan is not terrible, but the writing wheel eye is definitely not something that can be insulted by a shinobi! ”

"So you're here for me to make a military order?" Rin Uchiha said.

She had guessed the possibility on the way here, and it was not surprising to hear it for herself now.

"This is to maintain the glory of the family!" The patriarch corrected, "The writing wheel of our Uchiha clan cannot be insulted. The elders and I hope you will do your best to bring glory to your family! ”

Uchiha Rin nodded: "Needless to say, I will do my best in this middle ninja exam." ”

Influenced by his grandfathers Uchiha Kagami and Ishida Shunya, Uchiha Rin has cultivated a grander vision since he was a child, not just limited to the honor and disgrace of one family, but more important to the peace and development of Konoha Village, and even the entire Fire Country.

How to bring peace to the Fire Nation is also a problem that has plagued her since she was a child.

This time Ai's provocation, in the eyes of Uchiha Rin, is not only to avenge his younger brother Fugaku, but also to defend the dignity of Konoha Village and the Land of Fire on the stall of the middle ninja exam.

Being bullied in home exams in other countries is a matter of course,

But this time the home field is the land of fire,

It's Konoha Village,

You dared to provoke our people on our turf and bullied my teammates and my little brother.

If Rin Uchiha doesn't boldly fight back this time, I'm afraid it will make other ninja villages or ninjas laugh.

Those who offend our country will be punished even if they are far away!

As for winning glory for the family, it is only the last thing in the order of these items.

Seeing that Uchiha Rin agreed, the big stone hanging in the patriarch's heart finally let go, and a faint smile appeared on his solemn face, and said: "Of course, the family side will not only ask you, if you defeat Ai in the middle ninja exam, the family side will give you a promise to meet any of your requirements, and any family secrets can be told to you." ”

Any requests... Uchiha Rin suddenly felt that something was going on with Ishida Shunya, and immediately spoke: "I just thought of a request. ”

"Say it." The elder said.

Although he didn't like Uchiha Rin very much, he also had to admit that Uchiha Rin was the biggest card of the Uchiha clan now and the biggest guarantee for the family's revival. It's not impossible to agree to any of her requests.

Uchiha Rin pondered his words and said, "I'm going to wait for the end of the Shinobi exam and invite my friends to visit the Uchiha clan's clan land. This Minamiga Shrine is also included. ”

Rin Uchiha originally wanted to say that she had brought the stupid Shunya to the Nanga Shrine, but when she thought of Shunya's serious expression and the elders' Sima faces, she quickly changed to a more euphemistic rhetoric.

Even this statement seemed ridiculous to the elders.

"Nonsense! How can the family's clan land be allowed by outsiders to enter casually! Not to mention this Nanga Shrine! It's ridiculous! The elder couldn't bear it anymore and scolded directly.

Uchiha Rin didn't bother to pay attention to him, looked at the patriarch, and asked, "Patriarch, your strength shouldn't be the same as this old thing." ”

"You!" The elder was furious.

The Uchiha patriarch on the side was silent for a while, and asked, "I want to hear your reasons." ”

"It seems that the patriarch of the family still has some vision."

Uchiha Rin smiled when he saw the plan enter orbit and said, "There are two main reasons why our Uchiha clan is not treated by Konoha . ”

"First, it was the ancestor Madara Uchiha who betrayed Konoha and used the Sharingan to control the Nine-Tails and brought great disasters to Konoha. Although the Konoha high-level officials ostensibly recognized the Uchiha clan's behavior of not supporting Uchiha Madara at that time, they were still very jealous of whether the Uchiha clan would betray in the future. ”

"But that's not the main reason."

"The most important reason is that the gap between our Uchiha clan and the other inhabitants of Konoha is too great. We consider ourselves the founding fathers of the village, but we never see ourselves as part of Konoha and refuse to associate with other families or even civilians. This arrogant atmosphere comes not only from our strength, but also from our attitude towards Konoha and everyone. ”

"Try to dismantle with the rest of the village in order to convince the higher-ups that our Uchiha clan is the Uchiha of Konoha."

This was what Shunya Ishida told her.

The core is actually the position of the Uchiha clan.

What Konoha hopes is that the Uchiha's position will stand with him. But the Uchiha clan refused to stand with Konoha but had to cling to Konoha as a whole.

This is the core of the contradiction.

If you don't change the position of the Uchiha clan, you can't make Konoha trust the Uchiha clan.

Of course

The slogan that Uchiha Rin put forward just now, even in the eyes of other families, is a bit ahead of its time, commoners and families are two classes There is always an insurmountable gap, but the other families have done a good job in terms of position, and they have always been linked to the core interests of Konoha, which has allowed other families to gradually gain a foothold in Konoha, but the Uchiha family has gradually detached from the political stage of Konoha.

Listening to Rin Uchiha's description, the patriarch felt that there was some truth.

Now that the Second Ninja World War has just ended, the Uchiha clan and Konoha who have made great achievements on the battlefield are still in a short honeymoon period.

How to maintain this relationship and strive for the development of a clan will be a question that he, the patriarch, should think about.

Obviously,

Rin Uchiha's suggestion is very good, and it won't cause much damage if you bring a few shinobi over to visit.

Reduced to the patriarch's attitude softened a little, Uchiha Rin continued: "Of course, I won't bring some idle people to wait for me, this time I brought people..."

Uchiha Rin told the patriarch about Ishida Shunya's selfless gift of A-class ninjutsu, as well as about finding the three generations of Hokage later.

Hear this,

The patriarch's frowning brow instantly relaxed.

As the patriarch of the clan, he was very keenly aware of the meaning behind this incident, and the fact that Ishida Shunya gave A-grade ninjutsu certainly shows that this person has a good character, even if he is not a member of the Uchiha clan, he is worth knowing.

But the patriarch focused on the attitude of the three generations of Hokage Shinobi,

The three generations of Hokage were able to pass on their knowledge of ninjutsu to Uchiha Rin without reservation, which indirectly revealed the signal of Konoha high-level.

Konoha is very quick to be optimistic about Rin Uchiha's performance in the middle ninja exam,

This also illustrates that

The three generations of Hokage hope to use Uchiha Rin as an intermediary to balance and ease the relationship between the Uchiha clan.

Grasping Rin Uchiha is the family's opportunity... The patriarch saw this signal and agreed to Rin Uchiha without hesitation:

"Yes, if you can really defeat Ai in the middle ninja exam and win glory for the family. I will grant you all these requests. ”

"Okay, worthy of the patriarch."

Glancing at the elder who was still in a state of impatience, Rin Uchiha picked up the bottle at his waist and turned around to leave from Nanga Shrine.

It's not that there is also a wanton laugh.

Incomparably arrogant,

Incomparably arrogant!

.....

late at night

Back in the room, Rin Uchiha made sure that no one was peeking and opened a secret compartment from under the bed.

The dark compartment is actually full of all kinds of wine.

These sake are not cheap products that can be bought from the market, but are all sake made by Shunya Ishida. Each bottle has a year and date written on it, and these dates are the days she got the wine from the stupid Shunya.

Every day she stole wine, she remembered.

After removing two bottles from his waist and writing the date on them with a black marker, Rin Uchiha put them in the compartment and finally closed the bed.

For so many years, Ishida Shunya has always thought that Rin Uchiha was stealing wine and drinking it back, but in fact, she rarely drinks the stolen wine, but secretly puts the wine into this secret compartment.

Maybe in the future, when she has no wine, she will secretly take out the wine and drink it. But she hoped it would be a decade or so from now, or even decades from now.

If the longer the sake is left, the better it tastes.

That Uchiha Rin also hopes to keep this wonderful opportunity in his heart forever,

The longer, the better.

Spread it on his face with water, and after sobering up, Uchiha Rin put on his coat again, secretly came out of the house, and practiced ninjutsu alone outside.

This night,

Birds are chirping.

Soon, the days passed little by little, and finally it was the day of the middle ninja exam.
