Coming out of the Uchiha land, follow the main road all the way south, and when you reach the end of the road, you can see a temple made of wood and stone standing above the earth.

At the top of the temple are carved several large characters.

【Nanga Shrine】

It is impossible to know when the shrine was built, and even now the appearance of the shrine has changed dramatically from the beginning.

It is said that the shrine was originally built as a two-story building, but after the small building collapsed several times for unknown reasons, it remained in the form of a single floor.

At this time.

Because the key to open the door was in the hands of the Great Elder, but the Great Elder, who was usually the first to arrive, did not come first for some reason, which caused the outside of the shrine to be full of people holding meetings.

Among them, there are new shinobi who participated in the clan meeting for the first time, and there are veteran shinobi who have participated in the clan meeting for decades.

Looking at those energetic figures, some old men with buried eyebrows couldn't help but sigh.

When they first attended the clan meeting, they were curious about everything, especially what was being discussed.

Looking back at the clan meeting decades ago, I feel that those things are still vivid in my mind and fresh in my memory as if they happened just yesterday.

After all, the clan will still be the same clan as before, and there has not changed in the slightest

Wrong

After the last clan meeting, the Fuyue patriarch had an extra foreign secretary.

Thinking of this, these old men glanced at each other, and they all saw the complicated colors in each other's eyes.

It's a good thing that there will be a change in a pool of stagnant people, but this change is not the change they want, and this good thing is not so good.

"Say it, do it, don't joke about the future of the family!"

After staring at the ancestral training at the door of the shrine for a while, Uchiha Madou couldn't help but shake his head, "The old man thinks that he should add a few more pieces of ancestral training, so as not to have future generations exploit the leak." ”

"No, it won't!"

Liangyi walked forward at this time, he looked at the ancestral training carved on the stone tablet, and said in a low voice, "It seems that there is only one ancestral training, but in fact, it contains many in it.

Especially the sentence "Don't joke with the future of the family".

What is the future of the family? Who decided that this incident would affect the future of the family?

Isn't he still a Great Elder?

As long as it is something that affects the future of the family, the Great Elder can move out of the ancestral training and put the "matter" aside for the time being after the failure of the mud.

When the ancestor wrote this sentence, he probably expected that if these extreme-minded guys in the family were not restrained, they were afraid that they would poke a hole in the sky.

So I deliberately left such a vague ancestral teaching. ”

Disobeying the teachings of the ancestors?

As the fifth elder of the Uchiha, Madou certainly knew what was going on with the ancestral training.

But last time, Asuka proposed to let the Zhuan Dormitory clan serve as the secretary of the patriarch, which was enough to make the family go astray, and I didn't see the great elder take out the ancestral teachings to talk about things.

Zu Xun still has loopholes in this thing.

"Whew!!"

"Whew!!"

Before Madou could continue to think about it, a violent gasp came down the air into his ears.

Following the sound, I saw two cauldrons suddenly appear on the continent in the distance, and they were shining with silver light in the sunlight.

Looking at the freshly baked cauldrons that had not been used once, a shinobi who had participated in the clan meeting for the first time frowned and speculated wantonly, "What are the Great Elder and Asuka Kamishinobu carrying the cauldron to the shrine for?"

Could it be that this is a giveaway for participating in the clan association? ”

"The clan will have a fart giveaway!"

Madou glared at him and said unceremoniously, "The only gift of the entire clan will be to manage the rice, if you are lucky, you will have two meals, and if you are unlucky, you will have one."

Aside from rice, the clan will be a simple clan meeting, and it may be that there are too many clansmen against your proposal, causing them to fight against you.

When the old man had the first clan meeting, he got injured and went home."

"Elder Madou!"

The man scratched his head and asked a little wryly, "What did you mention at the clan meeting for the first time?" Excuse me, I am ready to avoid that dangerous thought. ”

"Nothing!"

"Heh~"

Seeing Madou shaking his head indifferently, Ryoichi sneered and directly revealed his old bottom, "Back then, this old guy proposed to knock the second-generation Hokage Stuffy Stick at the clan meeting, and then show the village the strength of the family, but he was beaten by the pro-village faction led by Uchiha Kagami. ”

"If you don't mention these things, that is, the mirror will die early!"

Madou said indifferently, "If it is put up to now, it is not certain who will fight whom." ”

As they spoke, several people saw that the two birds with the cauldron on their backs had approached.

Peng!!

Putting the pot heavily on the ground, the Great Elder rubbed his waist, and just as he wanted to speak, he heard an old voice suddenly come from in front of him.

"Hey!"

Uchiha Madou stepped closer, he knocked on the iron pot, frowned, and said, "Saburo, don't you really plan to use this thing as a reward for participating in the clan guild?" ”

"What do you think!"

As he spoke, he saw Saburo Uchiha take out another scroll from his arms, and then bit his thumb and pressed it.

Peng!!

White eyes the size of a house instantly appeared in everyone's sight.

When the smoke cleared, the Uchiha people who were still curious about what was in the smoke were instantly stunned.

Dumplings!!

A small mountain bag made up of dumplings!!

"Hey, hey!"

Looking at these exquisitely made dumplings, Liang instantly thought of where this thing came from, he turned to look at the Great Elder who was burning the fire, and asked, "What are you doing with your family's dumpling mountain?"

Didn't Mai Trin pack all of this for you? ”

"That's right!"

The Great Elder happily admitted.

Uchiha Mikoto wrapped a dumpling mountain for him, as long as the clansmen who passed by his door and were not blind, could see it.

"Great Elder!"

At this moment, a young man approached.

He first looked at the several cauldrons erected on the ground, then looked at the big house in the middle of the shrine, and said in a slightly hesitant tone, "I see that you seem to want to cook dumplings here."

You cook dumplings on such a serious occasion at the shrine. Isn't it a bit of a bad influence? ”

Following his gaze, the Great Elder also looked at the house in the middle of the shrine.

There were tablets of the Uchiha sacrificers, and the place where he set up his pot was directly opposite those tablets.

Then, I saw the Great Elder slowly stand up, his eyes staring straight at the ancestral training of the Uchiha family, "Before they died, they must not be satisfied, but died with regrets, right?" ”

Hearing this, the clansman who had just spoken looked at the tablets placed in the middle of the house and nodded hesitantly.

Although I don't know how these people died, whether they died of old age or war, they must still have regrets in their hearts.

Saburo Uchiha took a deep breath, he kicked the rolled firewood back into the fire with his foot, and continued to ask, "Most of them sacrificed to protect us, right?" ”

The man nodded hesitantly again.

The Great Elder's eyes narrowed, and the old voice said slowly.

"Since they have regrets, and they sacrificed to protect us, we might as well boldly guess whether their dying regrets are to wonder if it is worth sacrificing their lives to protect us."

"If they really have spirits in heaven and see us still alive sitting around Nanga Shrine, happily eating dumplings, and raising the dumplings in their hands from time to time, do you think they will blame us, or will they feel relieved?"

Speaking of this, the Great Elder raised his head and looked around, his gaze swept over the clansmen who were standing here preparing for the clan meeting, and the expression on his face suddenly became serious.

"Ladies and gentlemen.

Remember.

What we eat today is not dumplings, but regrets, regrets of sacrificing our people to protect us.

We lit a fire at Nanga Shrine to cook and eat dumplings not only did not have a negative impact, but a positive one. Because we show the deceased that the people they once protected are now living well.

It's good enough to eat fifty in the morning. No. Seventy dumplings."

As soon as the words fell, the air instantly became a little dull.

The Uchiha shinobi who were preparing to hold a clan meeting had complicated expressions on their faces, and they all turned their eyes to the old man.

As the Great Elder who holds the final interpretation of the family's ancestral teachings, he really deserves to be an elder who is good at words.

This mouth can really say it.
