In the Nanga Shrine, the Uchiha clan once again held a clan meeting.

Since the fourth generation of Hokage took office, the Uchiha clan has not held a clan meeting for a long time, and it is very troublesome to gather the clansmen who have opened the writing wheel eyes, large and small, if it is a trivial matter, there is no need at all.

But since Zhou Wenming lifted his disguise and officially appeared in the ninja world, this is already the sixth clan meeting.

The first time was for the sake of politicians, and this kaleidoscope was officially expelled from the Uchiha family, who would have thought that this guy, who had been the first combat force of Uchiha for many years, would be an impostor.

None of them are Uchiha bloodline, how can they be regarded as members of the Uchiha family?

But from the second time onwards, it was all about one thing, how to stand between the Zhou civilization and the nobility.

Uchiha Itachi couldn't understand this, what the older generation in his family was thinking, and now it was the Hokage and the Cocoon Forger joining forces.

The Hokage is the sole leader of the Fire Nation, with absolute authority in Konoha Village and the Fire Country, and wields the power of the Jedi.

The Cocoon Caster is the leader of the Zhou civilization, and as a member of the Zhou civilization, Itachi knows very well how strong his own civilization is.

Not to mention anything else, half of the four pairs of kaleidoscope writing wheels of the Uchiha family belong to Zhou Wenming, and the Uchiha family is not qualified to speak loudly to Zhou Wenming.

However, the ninjas of the older generation of the Uchiha family are like falling into evil spirits, and they are doing everything possible to oppose this matter, and for this reason, the eagles and doves who were hostile to each other during the three generations of Hokage combined and joined hands to lobby the patriarch Uchiha Fugaku.

They also knew that the Uchiha clan would never be able to oppose the four generations of Hokage, and they were even more powerless to resist the Konoha Village under the leadership of the four generations, and what they wanted was for the patriarch to persuade the Hokage to give up the alliance with Zhou Wenming.

"Patriarch, you have to make up your mind."

"Yes, Patriarch, Konoha Village has formed an alliance with a brutal existence like Zhou Wenming, and sooner or later it will be swallowed up by them."

Uchiha Fugaku frowned and said, "This is not something I can think about, this is the responsibility of Hokage-sama, are you questioning Hokage-sama's decision-making?" ”

"Hokage-sama must have been deceived by them, the upper ninja of that oil girl family is by no means a good thing, and that politician is even more hateful...... Well? Uh-uh-uh......"

The gray-haired Uchiha Shinobi didn't finish his words before he suddenly raised his hands and grabbed his throat.

Because of his old age and loose skin, his arms used all his strength, and his fingers sank deep into his neck, and Shangnin's face instantly turned red, and it was as dark as pig's liver.

He twisted his body desperately and inhaled hard, but he couldn't breathe in a trace of air in vain, white foam flowed from his mouth, and the eyes of the three hooks turned upward, and he was about to die.

Uchiha Fugaku was taken aback, and immediately understood who did it, he quickly turned to look at his eldest son, and said loudly, "Itachi!! Stop it! He's one of our people! ”

The Uchiha Itachi, who didn't even raise his eyelids, was silent, and only snorted softly after Fugaku's second urging.

The gray-haired Uchiha Kamishinobi's hands suddenly let go violently, and the force of the release was so great that he actually smashed two big holes in the floor with his backhand.

Shangnin gasped for breath, and it took a long time to recover, but after barely sitting up straight, his hands were weak, and he was seriously injured.

For a ninja, it doesn't hurt to make a hole in the wood, but an overly violent backhand strain the upper shinobi's joints and tendons.

He stared closely at the Uchiha Itachi who had been closing his eyes, and the eyes of the three-hooked jade writing wheel were full of fear and puzzlement, he knew that Itachi was a kaleidoscope, and he would definitely not be Itachi's opponent, but the other party didn't even open his eyes, so he controlled his hands, which was too terrifying.

After this incident, Uchiha Itachi made his position clear, and the old men of the Uchiha family restrained a lot, and they didn't dare to speak ill of the oil girl Tetsumaru and politicians.

But they still chattered about the "hateful" and "terrible" things about the Zhou civilization, and decided that it was difficult for the Uchiha family and the Zhou civilization to coexist, and the same was true of Konoha Village and the Fire Country.

Uchiha Fugaku used the decisions of the four generations of Hokage Wave Feng Shui Gate again and again to perfunctory, refusing to clearly state his position, as always.

But Fuyue's behavior itself was an encouragement to the old men, and their voices grew louder and more excited.

"With his eyes closed, he cleaned up a three-hooked jade Shangnin, and Brother Itachi is getting more and more powerful." Sanae Uchiha mixed in the crowd and whispered boredly, "The old men in the clan are so annoying, the patriarch is so inkbloc, it's really boring to death, when will Itachi brother do it?" ”

"Hehe, don't worry, Xiao Sanae." Qimu Shuomao's voice came from the snail, and he smiled softly, "Let's give Itachi a little more time, it's not difficult to oppose his father's decision, but to overthrow his father directly, it will take more time to make up his mind." ”

Hagi continued: "However, since Itachi has already made a move just now, then he should be ready to solve the problem today, and now he is just looking for a suitable time. ”

Sanae Uchiha nodded, ignoring the gazes of several young ninjas on the side, and said softly: "These old men are really annoying, and they say some strange things that they don't understand." ”

Several young Uchiha nodded one after another, in their understanding, Zhou Wenming was a ninja organization, and it was a ninja organization established by the Konoha ninja himself, this was his own person.

As for Zhou Wenming's wanton killing of nobles, how can this be wrong, we have long seen that these fat-headed and big-eared guys are not pleasing to the eye, bullshit is not a thing, and they dare to yell at me, if it is not allowed by the ninja rules, I can deal with them myself.

As for what the old men said about the nobility being important to the Fire Country, the young people didn't believe it, after the Fire Capital Incident, most of the nobles died, and the Fire Country became more prosperous, and the income from ninja missions continued to increase.

Comparing before and after, inside and out, the young people found that what Uchiha Itachi said was indeed right, it was these nobles who stole our money!

So now the Uchiha family is still two major factions, the opposition of the old ninjas, and the pro-wing of the young ninjas, but the young ninjas are young, weak, and have too low a voice to speak, so it is not obvious.

"Patriarch, this is the fifth clan meeting, time is running out, you must make a decision immediately!"

It is simply impossible for Uchiha Fugaku to make a decision against the Hokage, and the persecution of the three generations of Hokage can't make him make such a decision, and the old men in the family want to force him, which is pure wishful thinking.

Sure enough, Uchiha Fugaku slapped the short table in front of him fiercely and scolded loudly: "What do you want to do?" You must also decide immediately, have you taken me as the patriarch in your eyes, and what do you think of Hokage-sama? ”

After speaking, he stood up angrily and was about to leave, obviously to use the procrastination trick to drag this matter down, as long as he left today's clan meeting, he could only do it, and then he had no choice but to disband, and the next time he got everyone together to hold a clan meeting, it would take at least half a month.

Helplessly, Fu Yue had already used this trick three times, and a group of old men tacitly moved their positions, firmly blocking their own patriarch, not letting him leave, and continuing to quarrel around him, insisting that he make a decision today.

It's not the old men who are in a hurry, it's the nobles behind them who are in a hurry.

Taking advantage of the Daimyo's downfall, the Hokage sent a large number of civilian ninjas to take over the various villages and towns, and soon tasted the sweetness.

Since the second generation of Hokage opened a ninja school, the third generation of Hokage attaches importance to the cultivation of civilian ninjas, but their achievements in civilian ninja education are far inferior to those of the fourth generation Hokage.

Because among the Hokages of the past dynasties, only Bo Feng Shuimen really came out of the civilian population, and the civilian ninja who has ideas and positions, his investment in the ninja school, and the number of civilian ninja training, are unprecedented.

In ten years, the size of the ninja school has expanded thirtyfold, and the source of students has expanded to the entire Fire Country, no longer limited to Konoha Village.

The elimination rate of these students is not too high, which has led to a large increase in the number of shinobi in Konoha Village, and the lack of a number of tasks has also made their lives difficult, and even for a period of time, it was so serious that Konoha Village had to pay for it, which added a huge burden.

To be honest, cultivating a large number of ninjas can starve them, and that's the awkward part of the mercenary task system, the ceiling is too low.

However, the four generations of Hokage quickly came up with a solution, and he hired civilians in the form of tasks to farm, build roads, build bridges, and mine, and after surviving the initial investment period, he made a profit by selling grain, ore, and collecting bridge tolls.

In just over six months, Konoha Village was almost free from the economic control of the Daimyo, which also caused a lot of controversy at that time.

I don't know where the people came out, but they don't say that the land opened up in Konoha Village belongs to their family, and they either pay rent or destroy the fields.

The result of such a stupid temptation was naturally taken down in the blink of an eye, and then handed over to the mountain clan, and a few merchants who were not four or six were found, and when they were checked again, these merchants were already corpses.

The stupid guy thinks that it will be okay to kill people and kill them, but he really doesn't take the ninja in his eyes, when will the corpse in the hands of the ninja be kept secret?

The four little nobles naturally surfaced, but this time it was really clean, the whole family of the four little nobles was gone, and the house was all cleaned, and there was not even a single hair left.

Obviously, the guy who is very familiar with ninjas is doing it, and the one who does it directly should be a ninja, and it may even be the private work done by the ninjas of Konoha Village.

Although he knew that there were still people behind him, the Hokage could only stop there, but his resolute style and decisive methods of killing also made all the mess disappear.

Even people who say strange things like "how can a ninja farm", "how can a ninja be a farmer", "you shouldn't have so many civilian ninjas", and so on, have disappeared.

The huge number of civilian ninjas supported Konoha Village to run a huge industry outside the village, entered a positive cycle of economy, and even after the Fire City Incident, the Hokage had enough manpower to take over the Fire Country.

The ninja received not only combat and tactics, but also basic cultural and mathematical education, and the quality of the lower ninja was much higher than that of most nobles, and it was more than enough as a grassroots official.

Now the entire Fire Nation is governed by civilian ninjas, even every village, and has completely defeated the nobles in the actual competition, excluding them from the Fire Nation's management system.

The so-called cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents, and the nobles naturally want to resist desperately, but they are not stupid, they know that they are powerless to resist, so they begin to use conspiracies.

As long as the alliance between Konoha and Zhou Wenming breaks down, the two families will naturally form a big war, and these ninjas all over the Fire Country will have to go to the battlefield, and won't the management work have to be re-assumed by the nobles?

The interests of the aristocracy, politicians have long analyzed Uchiha Itachi clearly, as long as you grasp the economic issues and see where the ass is, it is impossible to see things in society clearly.

As for why the Uchiha family has ninjas who are moved by the nobles and contribute to their interests, the Uchiha Itachi doesn't need to ask, either he collects money from the nobles, or he sees how the civilian ninjas are doing well, or his own industry has been damaged in this wave, or all three possibilities.

These old guys are not nobles, they are powerful ninjas themselves, and they have the strength and courage to do things that nobles dare not do.

They also have self-knowledge, knowing that the destruction of the two great powers, the Zhou civilization that spans half of the ninja world is not something they can deal with, maybe only Konoha Village and the other two ninja villages have such strength.

That's why they would agitate the patriarch and try to stir up public opinion and force the Hokage to change his policy.

Uchiha Fugaku was blocked from the way and couldn't get out, in the encirclement and quarrel of a group of old guys, Fugaku was finally forced to make a decision, he lowered his head and said slowly: "Okay, I'll go talk to Hokage-sama about this." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Fugaku raised his head again and hurriedly added, "But I'm just giving advice to Hokage-sama, and the final decision on this matter still depends on Hokage-sama's decision!" ”

A group of old guys don't care about his explanation, as long as Fugaku says it, this represents the opinion of the Uchiha family, and Konoha Village is not just the Uchiha family will mention this opinion.

The Hyuga family, the Sarufei family, the Yamanaka family, the Nara family, and the Akido family all have close ties with the nobles of the Fire Country, and naturally there are people in their families who are doing the same thing.

As long as these important families are in agreement, Hokage-sama can't insist on an alliance with Zhou Wenming, it must be like this.

Uchiha Itachi sighed deeply, he became an Adventist after the advent ceremony, and he had enough permission to see the "Legend of the Eye" and understand what a tragic end he would go without the education of politicians.

Itachi once believed that such a tragic fate stemmed from the problems of his own education and the wrong starting point of the strategy of the three generations of Hokage.

After Zhou Wenming's intervention, he got a systematic education, and after seeing the world with a completely different vision, the three generations also came to a successful end on the night of the Nine Tails, and Konoha Village successfully entered the era of the four generations.

The crisis of the family and the village was lifted, and a period of rapid development entered a decade of rapid development, and all problems were solved.

But today, it seems that the Uchiha family itself has a big problem that has to be solved.

Uchiha Itachi slowly opened his eyes, the problem was these gray-haired old ninjas, they were unenterprising, greedy and ignorant after occupying too many resources.

The problem is still my father, who has a weak personality, short-sightedness, no decision, and no foresight and foresight, and is a mess as a leader.

"In the end, I still can't avoid disobeying my father's fate."
