Chapter 154: A Genius Born at the Wrong Time

As Sarutobi's words fell, Nara Shikahisa also spoke at the right time: "The predicament of the village must be clear to everyone, and the savings over the years to pay pensions and purchase materials and forbearance equipment have been stretched. Now that more than eighty percent of the territory of the Fire Nation has been baptized by war, and the daimyo is also in difficulty, we must show our sincerity if we want to get help from the other side. ”

Lu Jiu's words are a bit evasive, in fact, the bulk of the cost is to compensate the sand ninja and the cost of ransom, but the ass decides the head, and it is impossible for him to say these words in front of the Hokage.

But the people present were not those low-level ninjas, they basically participated in or knew about the drafting of the compensation clause, and naturally knew what Lu Jiu did not say.

However, since Ape Fei Ri has announced that he is about to step down, there is no point in talking about this.

"We can naturally understand the daimyo's distress, but we won't exchange the Hokage's position, right?"

Zhuan Xiaochun said with some dissatisfaction.

Sarutobi didn't discuss this move with her, so she was naturally worried, but this was not the main reason for her opposition, the main thing was that she didn't want the daimyo to participate in the appointment and dismissal of the Hokage.

From the village's point of view, from the beginning of the referendum to the appointment of the king, every change in the Hokage's election rules will bring turmoil to the regime.

This time it became the participation of the Daimyo, so the relationship between Konoha and the Daimyo was not equal, and it was impossible for the village to have no opposing voices.

This is not good for a rebuilt village.

Seeing that Konoha Koharu spoke, he also took over: "It has been almost fifty years since Konoha established the village, and even in the most difficult times, it still maintains its independence and autonomy, and now let the daimyo participate."

He dragged a long voice and swept it over everyone's faces: "I'm afraid I'm going to face our ancestors speechlessly." ”

Hearing Tuan Zang's words, most people frowned unconsciously.

Seeing this, Yamanaka Hai snorted coldly: "Everything is to protect the village first, if you don't do this, will Tuanzang-sama have a way to raise materials for reconstruction?" ”

"What if I have?"

As Tuan Zang's words fell, Lu Jiu and Sarutobi looked up at Tuan Zang at the same time, obviously understanding who the other party was looking for.

"Danzo, do you know what you're talking about?"

Ape Fei Ri's eyes were sharp, staring at Tuan Zang.

"Of course, although Hoshino Mu is greedy, he does not destroy Konoha and does not have the intention of occupying the dominance of Konoha. As for the rest"

"Guys, is there anything you can't talk about right now?"

Danzo did not shy away from saying the name of Hoshino Maki.

He was also forced to be helpless, he didn't expect that the old thing of Ape Fei Ri would find a daimyo as a helper, if he let the other party succeed, he would be far from the position of the Hokage.

"Maybe he didn't have the heart to get involved with Konoha before, but now Konoha is stuck, and everything is hard to say. The Yamanaka clan is against! ”

"That's right, Hoshino Shepherd is ambitious, and he must not cooperate with him, and the Autumn Dao clan is against it!"

“.”

There was a lot of noise in the conference room, but no one said anything about the big name, and everyone tacitly put this matter on hold for the time being, and everyone needed to discuss it with the family.

"Father"

A child with short black hair and pupils stood in the hallway, watching the Uchiha Fugaku come by and saluting respectfully.

Although he looks like he is only four or five years old, he already knows etiquette and even shows amazing talent in ninjutsu.

Uchiha Fugaku nodded, and only spoke when the two sides were about to make a mistake: "Did you practice ninjutsu today?" ”

"I've practiced, and today I learned the technique of Hao Fireball."

Uchiha Fugaku paused, lowered his head and looked at his son, his gaze finally locked on the burn at the corner of his mouth.

"You've learned to be a fireball?"

Uchiha Itachi lowered his head: "It's just a mastery." ”

The technique of Howe Fireball is a fire escape ninjutsu created by the Uchiha clan, and it was later widely spread in the ninja world, and it can be said that it is a compulsory ninjutsu for the Uchiha clan's fire escape ninjas.

Although this ninjutsu is only C-grade, it is not inferior to the B-rank ninjutsu that is inferior to the second-rank ninjutsu.

The main thing is that he's only four years old!

C-level ninjutsu is a mid-level ninjutsu, and his son has not yet attended ninja school.

Thinking of the ninja school, Uchiha Fugaku's eyes were a little more gloomy.

"Come with me to the lake, and I'll see the results of your cultivation."

Uchiha Fugaku walked in front with his arms around his chest, and Itachi followed behind him, with a bit of hope in his eyes.

"Fire Escape: Hao Fireball Technique!"

The two hands were stamped with an afterimage, and finally the thumb and index finger were folded, the immature cheeks bulged, and a fireball about two meters in diameter spat out of his mouth, which lasted for three seconds and then disappeared, bringing up bursts of steam.

The lake reflected the shocked face of Uchiha Fugaku, who looked at his son with his hands on his knees, gasping for breath, and was speechless for a moment.

Originally, he thought that Itachi's 'just mastered' meant spitting out a small flame, but he didn't expect the degree of completion to be so high.

It's true that this level is still far from actual combat, but again, considering his age, these are not problems.

Even Uchiha Fugaku himself can't do it to this extent at his age.

"Itachi"

Hearing his father's voice, Uchiha Itachi turned his head and looked at his father with a little anticipation in his eyes.

"It's nothing" Uchiha Fugaku seemed to think of something, his eyes lowered slightly, and he shook his head: "You did a good job, continue training." ”

Seeing his son so talented, he is very happy as a father.

But as a patriarch who wants to avoid the family and the village fighting each other, this is a problem.

Although the family suffered heavy losses in the war, the rise of Shisui gave the clan great encouragement, and they saw it as a reliance on the Uchiha clan to compete for the right to speak in Konoha.

If they know that Itachi has such a talent, I am afraid that their behavior will be even more unscrupulous.

Similarly, the village knows what kind of attitude the Uchiha clan has to have another celestial talent that is no less than stopping the water, and it also has to put a big question mark.

But as a father, he couldn't do such a thing as suppressing his son's cultivation.

On the way home, Uchiha Fugaku looked at his son's back, and countless thoughts flashed through his heart.

"Patriarch"

Returning to the area of the Uchiha clan, the two Uchiha clansmen who met him had been waiting for a long time, and after seeing Fugaku, he said urgently, "What did the village say?" ”

Uchiha Fugaku glanced at his son: "You go home first and tell your mother that I have something to do at night." ”

After speaking, he looked up at the two of them: "Go and inform the clansmen that there will be a meeting at the shrine in an hour." ”

After speaking, he took the lead with a heavy face and walked in the direction of the shrine.

Uchiha Itachi looked at his father's back, as well as the stern faces of his two uncles, not knowing what was happening.

But he was precocious and didn't ask much, just walked silently in the direction of home.

——

The Uchiha Minami Shrine is located on a small mountainside surrounded by trees, and is rarely visited except by ninjas who are guarding and cleaning up, but today, many Uchiha people come here in pairs and threes, passing through the Myojin Gate with a fan plaque, and entering this not-so-grand shrine.

The candle flame is faint, and there are now large empty seats in the shrine that used to be full, and everyone did not speak when they saw this scene, but silence was the most obvious attitude.

Seeing this scene, Uchiha Fugaku sighed secretly in his heart.

"Go to the Hokage Building today and discuss what happened after the war."

Uchiha Fugaku swept the faces of the crowd, not knowing how they would react when they heard the next words.

"Regarding our Uchiha clan, the village's opinion is that merit and merit will be rewarded, but we are also mainly responsible for the Yunnin's raid on the village."

Some of the clansmen below were full of disbelief, so they wanted to get up and defend themselves, but they were quickly pulled by the people next to them, although the others were not so obvious, but most of them were also unconvinced.

Uchiha Fugaku took in all of this and said in a deep voice, "The punishment of the village is that we will give up one-third of the land to compensate the family that suffered losses in the Yunnin raid. ”

"Too much deception!"

"This is simply an insult to the Uchiha, and it must not be promised!"

"If they want to fight, they will fight!"

"That's it! We have the Fuyue patriarch, the water stop, and so many warriors who open the writing wheel, why do they dare to shout with us?! With that crippled Sannin? Or what's bullshit yellow flashing? ”

“.”

The Uchiha Shisui, who was sitting in the crowd, heard his name, his eyes lowered, and even though he felt many eyes cast at him, he remained unmoved.

The family will definitely not agree to this condition.

The Uchiha didn't even think about opening his mouth to adjust, if he opened his mouth at this time, he would make his clan think of him as a traitor.

Uchiha Fugaku sat on the top, and waited for the clansmen to vent before he spoke: "We really can't agree to this condition. But now there are many opinions in the village about this matter, and I think you must be aware of it, and if you want to pay nothing, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do it. ”

Uchiha Fugaku's words fell, and everyone did not refute.

Most of the people here participated in the war with Yun Ren, and naturally knew how Yun Ren broke through his own defense line to attack Konoha by surprise, so his confidence was actually insufficient.

After all, they are not as cheeky as those politicians or Hoshino Maki, and they can completely bring in the identity of victims.

The Uchiha clan has been pursuing the traditional ninja style for more than ten years, and most of them are still in a relatively rudimentary stage, even if they are a little bad, so they are not so resistant to giving up some benefits when they know that they are at a loss.

However, he was still not convinced.

Uchiha Fugaku had been observing the expressions of his clansmen, and after knowing everyone's attitude, he spoke, "I will discuss the specific conditions with the elders and make a proposal that is acceptable to both parties." ”

This meeting was supposed to let the clansmen know about the situation, and the specific decision still depends on the Uchiha higher-ups.

Later, Fuyue cared about several families who had lived very hard in the war, asked the family to give help, and the family's livelihood problems, and the conference was coming to an end, and the rest was a high-level meeting.

Uchiha Shisui got up, and was just about to leave with the crowd when he heard the voice of the patriarch behind him: "Shisui, you stay." ”
