Chapter 176: [Listen to the Patriarch's Permission]
“…… The above are the conditions for the ape to fly to the sun. ”
"Let the Uchiha give up the idea of leaving Konoha and continue to stay in Konoha on the conditions."
"If you have any ideas, you can put them forward......"
……
In the basement illuminated by a faint light,
Uchiha Itachi calmly glanced at the excited eyes present, felt their holding breath, and said calmly, "The conditions are very rich, and I can see that everyone is also very excited, so let's talk about it, which of you is willing to accept this condition to stay, and who is unwilling, what is the reason." ”
In a word, it was like a cold winter snow in December, freezing the fiery hearts of everyone present.
Listening to these conditions, there is no doubt that they are excited.
Uchiha has been fighting for Konoha for so many years, and he is really a little unwilling to give up everything and leave.
But the ferret's inquiry made them a little confused.
“……”
Everyone in the room wanted to say something, but everyone in the room didn't know what to say.
Agreed?
Against?
Do you want to stay in Konoha anymore?
Leaving Konoha?
They don't know how to choose, and they don't know how many twists and turns are involved in the process.
"Patriarch, don't sell it."
Uchiha Homon raised his arm, and after Itachi's roll call, he looked at him helplessly, "What decision you want to make, just say it directly, everyone listens to you anyway." ”
"Yes, patriarch, you can just say it."
"We will choose what you tell us to choose."
"We obey you, Patriarch."
……
As soon as the fire gate opened, the clansmen present responded one after another.
Only the Uchiha Shisui, who was standing in the corner of the wall with his hands on his chest, looked at this scene with a little surprise, pursed his lips and did not speak.
This is the second time he has been here to participate in the clan meeting.
The first time I participated, the host of the clan meeting was Uchiha Fugaku, and the patriarch at that time was also Uchiha Fugaku.
Now, for the second time he has participated, the presiding officer of the clan has been replaced by Uchiha Itachi, and the position of the patriarch has also changed.
But what Uchiha Shisui didn't expect was that Uchiha Itachi could get such a heavy voice in less than half a year.
The convincing power in the clan is even more prosperous.
"My decision? My decision, of course, is to leave Konoha! ”
However, their attitude and words made Itachi frown and scolded, "But can someone tell me why I decided to leave Konoha?" ”
His eyes brushed over the faces of everyone present, causing them all to bow their heads.
It took a long time before someone spoke, "Patriarch, when Madara Uchiha wanted the Uchiha clan to follow him out of Konoha, Konoha had an extremely good attitude towards the Uchiha, and the people of Konoha could not be trusted. ”
"Yes, that's a big reason."
Itachi glanced at the Uchiha Sleeve Cloud who was sitting at the round table, "But the Sleeve Cloud Shinobi, before the next time you speak, please raise your hand first, and I will name you." ”
As he spoke, he looked at the others present, "Who else can tell me what else prompted me to make this decision?" ”
After a long time, someone raised his hand again.
"Firegate."
Itachi whispered the name of the person who raised his hand.
"Konoha's attitude has changed too much before and after, and I think it's a delaying tactic."
The Uchiha Homon replied calmly.
"Yes, that's a lot of weight."
Itachi nodded, then looked at the others, "Anything else?" ”
This time, no one lifted the man with his head down, responded to his gaze and raised his arms high.
"Gone? Be...... If you don't think about it, you just want to wait for others to choose for you, to help you think. ”
Itachi frowned and looked at them, "Or ...... You really can't think of a reason, even a trivial one? ”
Originally, at the round table, Uchiha Huomen and Sleeve Cloud, who were still going to open their mouths to persuade, closed their mouths and thought thoughtfully.
For Itachi's inquiry, there was still no one present, which made him a little disappointed in his heart.
"I know you might think that every time the clan meets, I actually make a decision in advance."
"And the content of the clan meeting is not that everyone sits down and discusses it, but that I inform you, or persuade you to accept my proposal."
"But it's not, my thoughts are just as I said when I first presided over the clan meeting, and I hope you can put forward your opinions in an orderly manner and speak freely."
Itachi's gaze scanned everyone present, "I did make a decision in advance on the issue of every clan meeting, but I also hope that a better choice will appear in front of me." ”
"We, Uchiha, used to be too single, putting all the bets on the Konoha table, and we lost without dignity."
"That's why even if I have made a decision, I still choose to convene a clan meeting instead of giving orders directly, because I hope you can think, choose, and propose among these issues......
After a pause, his tone was a little lost, "What's more, there is still me in the clan now, as well as the old patriarch of Fuyue, as well as Huomen, Zhishui, Zhiyun, Qingmen, and Jianji...... These shinobi help make decisions. ”
"But what if one day we're all gone?"
"If there is no one to give an order, no one to help you make a choice, will you just stand there in a daze, waiting for us to appear?"
Itachi Uchiha continued, "Leaving Konoha means that we, the Uchiha, will be stepping onto a wider stage. ”
"Our Uchiha is only a few hundred people, and compared to every family in Konoha, it can be regarded as a big family."
"But if you compare it directly with Konoha and the Land of Fire, then our hundreds of Uchiha people are like small fish and shrimp in the vast ocean, occupying an extremely insignificant small area."
"So how can we make our voice more and more important, and how can we not be despised and ignored by other forces although we are inferior in numbers?"
He looked at the crowd and asked.
“…… Have more children! ”
This time, finally a shinobi who was not sitting at the round table, but who was standing against the wall, raised his hand.
After the Uchiha Itachi called the name, he opened his mouth and replied, "The patriarch said that we were bullied because we were not as numerous as other families, so we will encourage the clansmen to have more children." ”
When he said this, many people present smiled.
However, their smiles quickly converged under the glance of the Uchiha Itachi.
"He's right, having more children and increasing the population of the clan is indeed a way."
Itachi replied softly, "Why did Konoha eat us Uchiha?" Isn't it because the many families of Konoha are already firmly connected. ”
"One-on-one, none of their families is our Uchiha's opponent, but together, their strength is far superior to ours."
"Increasing the population is a solution to the overall problem, but it takes too long, and there are too many variables that may arise in the process of trying, for example, the people of Konoha will not sit idly by and watch our development, for example, war."
"So who can tell me."
"Why did Konoha never dare to do anything with us when his overall strength was far superior to ours, but hesitated until now?"
He didn't look at the shinobi sitting at the round table, but waited for someone to make a move among the people standing.
"We, the Uchiha, are the heroes of the village, and they don't dare to attack us without a reasonable reason."
"If Konoha's people make a move with us, other forces outside the village will most likely take advantage of the opportunity."
"Because the old patriarch of Fuyue has a kaleidoscope writing wheel eye......"
……
Soon, one after the other, accompanied by the Weasel roll call, were raised from the mouths of those who were standing.
Some of them participated in the process of the plan, and got some details of the plan from the Huomen and Qingmen, while some of them came up purely by themselves according to the changing development of the situation in the clan.
And as they explained, watching their thoughts, Itachi's face gradually became satisfied.
But in the corner, Uchiha's eyes gradually deepened, this was the second time he had participated in the clan meeting, what the family had been doing before, he didn't know as a member of the dark department.
But...... Now he knows!
"Yes, you all have a point."
Itachi looked at them with satisfaction, "It is the achievement of these factors that has contributed to the delicate relationship between Konoha and Uchiha today. ”
"Even if Konoha's people have the ability to kill us Uchiha, they don't have the guts to kill us, and they can't face the problems that may arise after the killer."
"And among them, the kaleidoscope of the old patriarch of Fuyue is a crucial point."
Then, his gaze turned to the Uchiha Shisui.
