Chapter 171: [Please focus on the overall situation]
Every word of the ape slashed like a dull bell in each of their hearts.
Yes, why do you Uchiha pat your ass and live a peaceful and stable life, so we have to send our people to the battlefield in order to protect the land of fire?
If the Uchiha is really allowed to open this head, the entire Konoha will undoubtedly fall into turmoil!
When Konoha was first built, everyone was for peace and stability, which patriarch wanted his family to always be infected by the flames of war?
Konoha is not the only Uchiha Itachi who has been to Kyoto Castle, visited the Daimyo's Mansion, and seen the flowery life, who of them does not want to enjoy peace and tranquility like those nobles?
If everyone is as selfish as the Uchiha, who will protect the country?
In the Hokage meeting room,
Ape Fei Sun Slash is called Ninja, and the killing intent accumulated by decades of fighting on the battlefield is materialized like a wind.
The thick smell of blood, the cold wind...... Emerging in this room, the paper on the long table was scraped up, and it flew all over the sky like fallen leaves.
Almost at the same time, many of the patriarchs present looked at the Uchiha Itachi with indifferent eyes, and the same oppressive force emerged from them, flocking to the Uchiha Itachi, waiting for him to soften, waiting for his compromise, waiting for him to bow his head.
But unfortunately, they didn't see the fluctuations on Itachi's face, as if it was ...... The child sitting in front of them was actually just a puppet.
This made the patriarchs of some of these small families secretly frightened.
Before them, they also looked down on Uchiha Itachi a little.
Now it seems that they have looked away.
Deserter?
It's just that Ape Fei Ri Chop secretly changed his concept in order to oppose them leaving Konoha.
"If war breaks out, of course our Uchiha will do the same as this time."
Uchiha Itachi's voice rang out, "Being in this country and enjoying the resources brought by the land of this country, we naturally won't ignore the war. ”
"We can negotiate in a war, and divide the Uchiha into a separate team, as we did this time."
"Although we have left Konoha, we are still part of the Fire Nation."
For the sake of the country's stability, it is the overall situation to abandon the contradictions between the two and send troops to defend the territory at the border.
For the sake of the people's stability, it is the overall situation to put aside the estrangement between the two and join hands to fight the enemy for the time being.
For the sake of everyone in Konoha, it is also the overall situation to give up the small family of Uchiha and sacrifice the clan to complete Konoha.
From beginning to end, everyone is really a family.
But in fact, Uchiha is facing a group of white-eyed wolves like Konoha, it is his duty to do a good job, and if he doesn't do it well, he will be abandoned, so why should he take care of the so-called overall situation?
Uchiha Itachi is not a saint, and everyone in Uchiha is not a saint, they can't selflessly dedicate themselves to taking care of Konoha and the country for the sake of this group of suspicious people.
Regarding Uchiha Itachi's answer, everyone present did not speak, but the atmosphere eased a little.
"And what if more families follow your example and leave Konoha?"
Ape Feiri pondered for a moment, and then spoke coldly again, "Could it be that every time Konoha faces a war in the outside world, he needs to communicate with various clans like in the Warring States Period, and everyone is scattered and each fights against the enemy?" ”
"This question is not valid."
Itachi shook his head, his fingers tapping on the table, unheard of the pressure in front of him.
"We, the Uchiha, have left Konoha and have no ninja to earn commissions, so we need to work hard to make a living, and at the same time, we have to contribute to resist foreign enemies."
"On the other hand, Konoha has an important military position in the Fire Country, and enjoys the support of many nobles and commoners in the Fire Country."
"If, as Hokage-sama said, Konoha is a big family of good and peaceful, why would anyone want to leave Konoha like our Uchiha clan and worry about their livelihood?"
He asked rhetorically, no emotion in his tone.
But between the words, it made the ape Feiri speechless.
"What a sharp-toothed Uchiha patriarch."
Facing Sarutobi's silence, next to him, Mito Menyan sneered and spoke, "Sarufei has always valued you, and we are still very confused. ”
"Now it seems that it is not easy for the weasel clan to sit in this position at a young age."
"But no matter what you say, none of you Uchiha can leave Konoha!"
His tone was murderous and firm.
And the movements of its body have been faintly tilted, so that they can burst out at any time and kill!
"Hokage-sama, please know a fact from all of you here."
Uchiha Itachi only glanced at Mito Menyan's movements, then ignored them, and continued to focus on the silent Sarutobi Hichi, "Our Uchiha is the hero of Konoha who built the village. ”
"And in the clan land, the heroic spirits buried under the Nanga Shrine once sacrificed their lives to protect Konoha."
"We Uchiha shouldn't be Konoha's enemies, right?"
He asked softly, not even in a questioning tone, but just as if asking the ordinary question, 'What to eat today?'
In this regard, neither the Hokage sitting on the throne nor the patriarchs sitting down answered this simple question.
"Looks like no one wants to answer me."
Itachi spread his hands helplessly, "Then I'll tell you another fact." ”
"As heroes, we should be honored and embraced, but in fact, we are excluded and isolated."
"We even tried to blend in with Konoha but were destroyed again and again."
Koharu frowned, "That's Uchiha's own doing!" ”
"What about the evidence?"
Itachi's tone cooled, and his gaze shifted to Zhuan Koharu, "In order to maintain the relationship between the two sides, we have worked hard for several years and decades. ”
"But just because of one ...... An outsider, an outsider who can't find the source, you can easily believe that it was the Uchiha clan who 'always wanted to establish friendly relations' that caused trouble that night. ”
"You have been in charge of Konoha for many years, coordinating the deployment of several ninja wars, but it is so easy to think that we Uchiha will overturn decades of efforts on our own, just for the madness of one night? Personally, I think it's a bit of a bias or a ...... Short. ”
After a pause, his gaze turned to the others present, "Maybe it's Hinata, Akimichi, Nara...... Even when the Sarufei and Shimura families encounter such a thing, your first reaction should be that there are external forces secretly interfering, rather than making conclusions lightly. ”
"Even, it takes that external force to really appear in front of your eyes, in your eyes, that you will be willing to judge the fact that the Uchiha has nothing to do with this matter."
"Am I right?"
Again, no one answered.
But the two palms of the ape flying sun have faintly pressed down on Koharu and Mito Menyan, who want to get up.
His face was ugly, but he knew very well in his heart that killing this sharp-toothed imp here would not solve the problem, but would intensify the problem.
"Three generations of adults."
With a bang, Uchiha Itachi got up from his chair.
At the same time, many of the patriarchs present, such as Sarutobi Richi, Zhuan Koharu, and Mito Menyan, all stood up and gathered together, looking at this young child with burning eyes.
"Integrating into Konoha, we Uchiha can't do it under this kind of prejudice."
Standing opposite everyone, his eyes were fixed on the old ape flying on the throne, looking at this thin old man who had traveled for several months, "We have tried, but there is no way, so there is not much left for us." ”
"Leaving Konoha is the best way I can think of to avoid conflict."
"In this time and age, the presence of the Uchiha is likely to bring about a change in the overall situation, so ......"
Uchiha Itachi gently pressed his thin palm on the table, and a flat voice sounded in the quiet office, "For the sake of Konoha's stability, please agree to let the Uchiha leave!" ”
"I've spent a few months with Hokage-sama, you should know that I'm going to be here to speak, so I'm sure of it, please don't try to make things difficult!"
"Could you please ...... The big picture counts! ”
