Regret is invisible, but when you meet the Great Elder, regret takes shape.

Seeing that the Great Elder suddenly fell into a memory, and the folds on the old man's face were stacked together, Asuka couldn't help but restrain the smile on his face, and the whole person became serious.

He could see that the Great Elder was very sorry now, he had a chance to realize his idea, but with the death of Uzumaki Mito, presumably the Great Elder's idea also died.

"Alas~"

With a long sigh, the Great Elder glanced at the birds beside him, and finally fixed his gaze on the group of clansmen below who were passionately discussing.

"Great Elder?"

Hearing this, Saburo turned his head, looked at Asuka's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, and said slowly in his old voice.

"Asuka, what do you want to say?"

He originally wanted to say that the old man should change his mind and mention it, but when Asuka saw the face of the Great Elder full of [regret], the topic immediately changed and he spoke.

"I also held a clan meeting for a year, and for the first time I knew that the Great Elder had worked hard for the family to produce a Hokage."

Speaking of this, Asuka couldn't help but pause.

He really just knew that this old man had also thought about how the Uchiha clan could produce a Hokage, and he had always thought that this old man would only make mud and draw cakes.

Since the Great Elder of the Uchiha Clan had racked his brains for the family when he was young, it didn't make sense that the Patriarch of the Uchiha Clan didn't have any ideas.

Then, Asuka cleared his throat, leaned over to the Great Elder, and asked in a low voice.

"Since you have your own ideas, Great Elder, then our patriarch must have his own ideas, right?

I've been holding a clan meeting for a year, and I've never heard of the patriarch having any opinion on this matter, and I used to think that you and the patriarch simply didn't want to bring it up, for fear that our group of clansmen would make it difficult for you to do it after responding to your ideas.

But now it seems."

The Great Elder glanced at him, stared at the noisy clansmen in front of him, and asked another question.

"Do you know how many disciples the second Hokage has?"

Well?

Asuka was stunned for a moment, and then began to recall the life of the second generation, and replied.

"Five or six, huh?"

"Six to be exact!"

After the Great Elder gestured to him with a six, he continued, "Sun Slash, Tuan Zang, Koharu, Menyan, Wind Take, Mirror."

As he spoke, he glanced at the patriarch's empty seat again.

Uchiha Fugaku didn't come to the clan meeting today, to be precise, since he became the patriarch, he tried to change the status quo of the family, but found that the clan meeting was still the same as before, and then he didn't love it very much.

"Our patriarch is a capable and ambitious patriarch, and when he was young, he saw that the position of the future [Hokage] could only be inherited in the Senju lineage, while the Uchiha line could only grasp a little bit of power.

Then one day, Fuyue said a word in front of everyone in the clan association"

Seeing that the old man suddenly stopped talking, Asuka asked.

"What?"

"If the mountain doesn't come to me, I'll go to the mountain" The Great Elder looked to the northeast with half-squinted eyes, looking straight at the location of the Hokage Rock as if he could look through the wall.

Combined with the old man just now who asked him how many disciples the second generation had, Asuka instantly widened his eyes and said in shock.

"The patriarch has also thought about apprenticeship to the second generation?"

This exclamation directly covered the discussion of everyone in the venue, and they all turned their heads to look at it, and their eyes finally stayed on the two of them.

"What did I just hear?"

"It seems that the patriarch wants to apprentice to the second generation."

"What? The second generation is also going to be resurrected? ”

"Can't you resurrect the second generation, isn't that the living Hades?"

Hearing that the more and more people this group of people said, the more outrageous it became, Uchiha Liang looked at the two people on the stage and took a deep breath, and said with a calm face, "What they said was the idea that the patriarch put forward when he first participated in the clan meeting. ”

Hearing this, the ninjas who came to the rally subconsciously looked at the position that belonged to Uchiha Fugaku.

Some of the older Uchiha ninjas actually knew about it, but they didn't think about it for a while.

Their eyelids twitched as they looked at the curious expressions around them, and then they all lowered their heads to look at the floor.

That incident was an eternal pain for Uchiha Fugaku.

"Elder Liangyi, the incident of the Fuyue Patriarch at the beginning."

A clansman looked at Ryoichi with curiosity.

From the day Uchiha Fugaku became the patriarch. No, since the day he became a shinobi, he has only listened to their clansmen put forward ideas, and he has not heard any suggestions from the patriarch.

He simply thought that the patriarch was absorbing the essence of their thoughts, but he didn't expect that the patriarch had already had his own ideas.

"Actually, it's nothing."

Liang Yi clasped his arms to his chest and said casually, "When the patriarch participated in the family gathering for the first time, he was infected by the warm atmosphere here, and made a vow in his heart to change the status quo of the family.

Later, after thinking about it, the patriarch decided to sacrifice himself for the sake of the family and become a disciple of the second Hokage.

When he put forward his idea at the clan meeting, the old man and others persuaded him, but the patriarch was more stubborn. ”

"Uh~"

Hearing this, the clansman who asked the question just now was stunned for a moment, and a list immediately appeared in his mind.

There is no name of the family patriarch on that list.

In other words, the second Hokage was confiscated from the head of the family?

As if seeing this person's thoughts, Ryoichi smashed his mouth, and his tone suddenly became embarrassed.

"At the beginning, after the patriarch persuaded the majority of the people at the clan meeting, he expressed his thoughts when he "encountered" the second generation in a certain "chance", and then the second generation asked a question.

"What's the problem?"

"If there was a conflict between the Uchiha and the village, where would you stand?"

"Oh, I see, the patriarch must have said that he was standing in the family, and then he was rejected by the second Hokage."

"That's right!"

Ryoichi reluctantly suppressed the urge to raise the corners of his mouth, trying to remember the sadness of the past, and after a long silence, he spoke in a low voice. , "What the patriarch said at the beginning was indeed from the position of the family, although it was to integrate into the Thousand Hands One Line, but he couldn't betray the family, right?"

So the patriarch did not bluff a thousand hands with false words.

After listening to the patriarch's sincere words, Senju patted the patriarch on the shoulder and said that he hated the Uchiha very much, especially the evil Uchiha like the Fugaku patriarch who did not get rid of the narrow family concept.

So he won't accept Uchiha's clansmen as disciples, at least not today. ”

Hearing the word evil, the surrounding people's brows instantly furrowed, and before they could say anything, they heard the voice of the Great Elder from above.

"Fugaku wasn't too disappointed after being rejected, because Senju had always disliked them, which was well known in Konoha Village. He was even prepared to be rejected several times.

Since Senjutsu didn't accept him today, he decided to try again tomorrow, and the main thing was sincerity.

However, to everyone's surprise, just one day later, Senju met Kagami on the road and asked the same question.

In Jing's heart, the village and the family account for 4 percent and 6 percent respectively. After a short period of thought, he also gave the same answer as Fugaku.

You should already know what happened later, and Mirror became a disciple of the Thousand Hands.

And after Fu Yue heard the news, he locked himself in the house and did not eat for three days, and when he came out of the house again, the whole person became silent, and he did not put forward any ideas at the family meeting. ”

After speaking, the Great Elder spread his hands and looked at the ceiling helplessly.

The fact that he did not become a second-generation disciple made Fuyue regret it for a long time.

I even heard that when Fugaku slept at night, he would dream that he would become a disciple of the second generation, and then take over the position of the fourth generation, leading the Uchiha clan to another peak.

Looking at the Great Elder with a helpless face, these people below glanced at each other and lowered their heads again.

"The hateful Thousand Hands is really a double standard!!"

"I suspect that the Thousand Hands may be targeting the patriarch, otherwise why did you take the mirror the next day?"

"The patriarch must be full of regrets, right?"

"Yes, it's like you confessing to a female ninja, she said that your family is not good today, and she said that she would not deal with anyone in your family, and then she got along with your brother the next day.

It's really uncomfortable. ”
