Chapter 33: The Shadow of Konoha (Part II)
"The reputation of the Uchiha clan has long disappeared with the defection of Madara Uchiha, isn't this exactly the excuse that you Konoha high-level have always used to hand over the power of the police force to us Uchiha to prevent the appearance of the next Madara Uchiha? The reason that seems to be trust and entrustment is actually a political means to isolate our family from the village. β
"It's too hypocritical to say that reputation is still too hypocritical, Konoha White Fang."
"It's the same now, it's clear that this group of wastes entered the exam room without permission regardless of the difference in strength, even if they were affected by my technique, they were to blame. But you, and the people behind you, all have the same expression of hatred, as if you have seen a heinous sinner, and you have not considered who caused the right or wrong of this matter. β
"You didn't think about whether I couldn't control the scope of the technique at all, or whether I tried to control it but failed."
"It's just a matter of blaming the mistake on me, and it's all just because my last name is Uchiha."
"So White Fang, you're not qualified to say the words reputation and trust, hypocrite."
In the silent arena, Yue Yong said in a cold tone.
This is sophistry, in fact, Yue Yong can revoke the scope of the spell at any time, but she does not do so. But her appearance and age are quite deceptive, making everyone mistakenly believe that she may be telling the truth, so there are a series of reactions.
Some people still blame Yue Yong for being ruthless and ruthless, and they don't care what the reason is. Just like Yueyong said, it's just because her surname is Uchiha, and the people of the Uchiha clan are all crazy people. In a sense, this is the fool who gives up thinking and leaves everything to instinctive judgment.
Some began to reflect on Yueyong's words, and showed expressions of shame. After all, they had completely ignored these two possibilities just now, and scolded in their hearts the swear words that "the Uchiha are all crazy".
People's emotions and ideas are always easily influenced and changed, after all, they don't have a firm stance in the first place, as long as they don't personally hurt their own interests, they are a wall-to-wall grass.
ββ¦β¦β
White Fang didn't speak, but he knew the other party was lying.
Even so, that's not a reason to hurt your peers. We are partners in a village, and we should move forward together. Protecting their companions and protecting the village is the most basic obligation of every Konoha ninja. β
"Really? Then White Fang, sooner or later, you will die from this naΓ―ve idea. β
"What?"
"There are no real partners in the village, just sordid political struggles and chains of hatred that can never be unbroken. As long as we Uchiha exist for a day, your companion argument will be a complete joke. β
There was a slight pause.
Yueyong continued to say in a weak and firm tone: "If everything is as you say, then you shouldn't blame me, but stand in my shoes, stand in my position, and challenge the Konoha high-level people you are protecting behind you." β
ββ¦β¦οΌβ
White Fang frowned, a little incomprehensible.
Yue Yong continued.
"If Konoha really regards the Uchiha as a companion, then remove the shadows sent to spy on our clan."
"If Konoha truly believes in us, the Uchiha clan will be allowed to participate in the war process and have a leadership position. Reason to believe that needless to say, you also know very well how high the Uchiha's war talent is, and it is not deliberately restricting our clan, or even deliberately assigning the task of sending us to death, just to weaken the number of strong men in our clan. β
"If Konoha really treats the Uchiha as his own, then give one-fifth of the seats currently in the hands of the Thousand Hands Department to the Uchiha, you are all from the Thousand Hands clan or under the protection of the Thousand Hands, but the Uchiha, as one of the two wealthy families that are also building a village, we should have a political status that matches our identity."
"If you really still have the slightest agreement, please treat the Uchiha as a partner, our clan also paid a heavy price for the village, and sacrificed nearly a third of our clan in the First Shinobi War. When it comes to merit, the family behind all the people present is not as good as the Uchiha, and when it comes to love, who would want to hurt the children they created with their own hands? The Uchiha loved this village more than anyone else, but we would not accept the despicable people who bewitched the village and allowed it to maliciously ostracize our people. β
Heartfelt words, this is the first and last time for the girl, trying to convey Uchiha's kindness, so that the upper Konoha executives sitting in the audience can hear their voices, follow their demands, and give Uchiha the status and recognition he deserves.
Uchiha Tsukiyong's gaze scanned the expressions of the people around him. Many people showed thoughtful expressions after hearing this, their faces were surprised and dazed, probably because no one had raised these arguments in front of many people for too long, and many people seemed to have forgotten the contributions of the Uchiha clan in the past, and even forgot that they were one of the two families that created Konoha.
But forgive them, under the brainwashing and even intentional estrangement of others for a long time, the shortcomings of the Uchiha have been infinitely magnified in the hearts of the people. And the arrogant Uchiha never bothered to explain, it was because of this stupid arrogance that they lost the right to speak in the village, and Yueyong also sensed this arrogance that was enough to kill his own clan, so he decided to make a change.
"O Konoha people here, I can see your confusion and hear your scornful disdain."
"It is indeed our mistake to suffer for so long because of the arrogance of our people, and we will never deny it. However, please also seriously consider whether the arrogance of our Uchiha is really enough to make you reject and even dislike us so much? β
"I don't think so, because at the end of the day, there is no unsolvable hatred between us, and the interests of the Uchiha family and the village have always been the same. If we have done anything wrong, except for the only black spot in history, the existence of the police force has become a stumbling block to the communication between the family and the people, and your resentment towards us has accumulated over time and turned into rejection and disgust. β
"It is true that the strong will have their pride, but the Uchiha does not mean to despise everyone here. After all, the so-called village is a collective consciousness created by people gathering together to form common values and beliefs. The Uchiha, like everyone here, was willing to dedicate himself to this village, sacrifice, and even die in battle without complaint. β
"So we are not enemies, let alone enemies!"
Yue Yong stretched out her arms to all the people present, as well as the high-level officials with complicated expressions. At first, they thought they were just facing another arrogant Uchiha, but as her words grew louder and louder, and her firm will spread throughout the venue, everyone began to think unconsciously.
With a clear and crisp voice, the girl has a firm and unshakable will, and sends out a voice belonging to the Uchiha to the entire Konoha .
"If you think about it, it seems that we really don't have any big enmity with the Uchiha, right?"
"There's really no grudge, but I just hate their stinky fart on weekdays."
"That's right! An arrogant and rude look on their eyes, what a bunch of bastards. β
"The people of the Uchiha clan are all virtuous, and they feel uncomfortable even if they get a little closer."
"An arrogant bastard who has a little power in his hands, their family is simply a disgrace to Konoha!"
The nearby audience first discussed, then collectively turned the spearhead, and almost unconsciously began to complain about the Uchiha family's problems. They don't seem to have gone through nuanced thoughts, but their mouths are getting used to talking about them on weekdays, and gradually their tone begins to become as irritable and excited as usual, and they just want to vent their emotions quickly without thinking about the consequences.
"But arrogance isn't a crime, is it?"
At this moment, an old man sitting next to him suddenly spoke.
"Although the Uchiha clan is proud, it is undeniable that they are one of the two pillars on which the village is built. Without the alliance of Senju and Uchiha, Konoha would not have been able to establish it so steadily and quickly, not to mention that it was because of their alliance that the Fire Country was quickly unified, and other families also chose to join Konoha one after another. β
"No matter how much you hate the Uchiha, you can deny their family's achievements."
This old man had obviously experienced the early days of Konoha and may have even been a Konoha ninja when the original Hokage was alive. And his words resonated with some others.
At this time, some objections that do not follow the mainstream also began to emerge.
"That's right, in terms of the status of the Konoha Senju family, the Uchiha has indeed been excluded over the years."
"As much as I hate the Uchiha too, I honestly think the village has really gone overboard. In any case, it was a famous family with the same name as Senju back then, so hitting the Uchiha in this way is no different from Konoha slapping himself in the face. β
"I agree with a few of them, but I must say that the Uchiha family did not commit a crime, they may have a disgusting attitude, but they never really did anything to hurt Konoha roots."
At this time, some of the so-called "mainstream" people began to be unhappy and began to pull old accounts.
"Listen to your fart, if it wasn't for the defection of the leader of their family, the first Hokage-sama would have died so early!"
"That's right, the Uchiha clan is the murderer of the first generation, and they should be held accountable for this!"
"You are talking to them like this, you can't accept the benefits of the Uchiha as a trustee, right?"
In the face of the accusations of the "mainstream people", the "non-mainstream" people stood up one after another to speak out and refute it, and at this moment the will of the two became opposed, and the positions began to become clear from the muddy.
From what may have been an ordinary argument at first, the number of people who thought the Uchiha should be respected gradually increased. Because one of them was right.
