The morning sky was blue and cloudless, and the soft sunlight shone through the gaps in the secret room, making it impossible to help but take a few more looks.

"This Gap"

After staring at the gap for a while, the Great Elder's brows slowly furrowed.

Originally, a secret room should not leave any gaps as a secret activity space, let alone this kind of gap that can be irradiated by the sun, but the Uchiha has his own clan here, and the secret room is not the same as other people's homes.

Just as the Great Elder pondered whether to use something to plug the gap, a black figure suddenly rose into the air, slicing through the air at an extremely fast speed, and slammed straight into the cracked wall.

Rumble!!

A loud noise instantly drowned out the discussion in the room, and they all looked in the direction from which the sound came.

Although the walls were a little unrealistic because of the smoke and dust, the Uchiha clan Shinobi sitting here were all Uchiha Shinobi, and without opening the Sharingan, they could vaguely see a person embedded in the wall

The Great Elder looked at the clansmen embedded in the wall, and then at the cracks that had grown larger, and his eyelids jumped.

"Uchiha, I have my own clan here, and it doesn't make much sense to repair this crack or not."

"When the wall collapses, let the family rebuild the wall."

Then, I saw the Great Elder take a deep breath.

Although the air at this time is mixed with a slight earthy smell, which is far less fresh than the outside air, it is still so fresh and pleasant compared to the air that used to smell of fried chicken.

"It doesn't all seem bad for the patriarch to let the family eat out."

Thinking of this, he stopped the clansmen who had ripped him off the wall, and then looked down at the crowd below.

People are arguing with each other, some are even red-faced and ready to make a move, others are sitting on the sidelines, watching coldly, and some simply close their eyes, not knowing what they are thinking.

Although these people have a common purpose, they have their own views on how to achieve "it", and in the case of not being able to convince each other with words, these people will have some thoughts in their hearts to "convince" each other.

This scene has been repeated countless times since the day he became the Great Elder, or rather from the day he participated in the family gathering.

In the past, he didn't like this kind of scene very much, so every time the conflict in the clan meeting was the most intense, he would go down and dilute the mud to temporarily suppress these contradictions.

When the next clan meeting was held and the conflict resurfaced, he came forward again.

Cycle!!

This is the duty of the Great Elder!!

As for unraveling these contradictions??

He smashed his mouth, and the words of the previous Great Elder on his deathbed came to his mind.

"San Lang, the old man tried to understand what this position required before becoming a great elder, but the overstretched cultural level made the old man completely understand."

"On the day he became the Great Elder, the old man was so nervous that he couldn't sleep all night, and then he was coerced by a group of people to come to the Nanhe Shrine, when the old man looked at the clansmen who gathered at the shrine and didn't know how to manage the strongest combat power of these dozens of families."

"But, the old man has a strength.

Although the old man didn't know what he should do, the old man understood what he shouldn't do. ”

After the two failed rebellions of "Uchiha Madara" and "Uchiha Instant", Uchiha has become extremely fragile, and the financial and external environment of the family are on the verge of precariousness, and the old man does not know anything about how to make money and improve the external environment of the family, and he is unable to lead the family out of the quagmire. ”

"Thinking about it, the old man thought of a book about [Miaomu Mountain] that he had seen, and of course he couldn't understand what was written in the book with the old man's cultural level, but the old man was very impressed by a word in the book."

"Wu Wei!!"

According to legend, the reason why the Great Toad Immortal was able to manage Miaomu Mountain well and turn Miaomu Mountain into one of the three holy places relied on "Wu Wei", that is, doing nothing but sleeping and dreaming. ”

Later, the family thrived by relying on the old man's "inaction". ”

"If you really can't solve the contradictions between the clansmen, then it's like an old man who "does nothing", we just need to believe in the wisdom of future generations. ”

The words of the previous Great Elder before his death kept coming to the mind of Uchiha Saburo like a slide at this moment, and he also inherited the concept of "non-action" of the previous Great Elder.

For the internal disputes within the family, don't stand in line, don't interfere, whoever comes is [the old man supports your idea, but the time is not ripe at this time, and when the time is ripe, the old man will come to you].

"Old man!!"

Uchiha Saburo (Great Elder) shielded the noise in the room, looked up at the ceiling, and his vision suddenly blurred, "I'm finally going to die, I've been fooling my clan for more than thirty years, and I'm a little flickering." ”

Then, he lowered his eyes and looked at the people below, and a complex emotion suddenly surged in his heart.

In terms of strength, he was just an ordinary ninja in his family, although he had talent, he was not brilliant; In terms of background, he is just an ordinary ninja in the family, and although he has connections, he is not as strong as the background of Ryoichi Uchiha and others.

The reason why he became the Great Elder was purely because of his performance at the clan meeting.

Silent, introverted, does not like to speak, and is out of place with his clan

Thinking of this, Saburo Uchiha shook his head self-deprecatingly, a flash of remembrance flashing in his eyes.

"When he saw that Senju Tsuruma was dead, he mobilized the whole family to persuade the father of the previous patriarch and Uzumaki Mito to have a sunset love, and then the father of the previous patriarch couldn't bear the pressure, so he carried the fruit basket to the land of the Senju clan.

Later, the father of the previous patriarch was scared into the hospital by Uzumaki Mito, and he was also introverted all his life because of an active speech. ”

It was originally a good thing, but it was done a bad thing by the father of the previous patriarch, and after he became introverted because of that bad thing, he was valued by the previous great elder and entrusted with a heavy responsibility, which made it a good thing again.

"Blessings and misfortunes."

Just as the Great Elder was lamenting the impermanence of fate, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the bird moving his mouth slightly.

Asuka didn't make a sound, but he keenly read the words from the shape of his mouth.

[I have a plan to resurrect "that one"!!] 】

Saburo Uchiha: ???

He stared at the excited Uchiha for a long time, and then looked at the Uchiha Asuka with a serious face, and after his gaze moved back and forth between the two of them a few times, the Great Elder was completely silent.

That??

At this time.

A flash of lightning flashed through the Great Elder's mind, and he seemed to think of who "that" was.

“.”

The most enthusiastic in the entire family to resurrect "that one", if he Uchiha Asuka is second, except for Uchiha Ryoichi, no one dares to compete for the first place.

But the one who the whole family is most reluctant to resurrect "that one", these two can also rank first and second to last.

"Madara Uchiha!!"

The Great Elder's cheeks twitched, and while sighing fiercely, he couldn't help but muttered in his heart, "You have to look forward as a person, you can't rely on your predecessors, and you can't disturb the dead."

The future of Uchiha depends on us young people to create, although the old man is dying of old age, but compared to Madara Uchiha, the old man is in the prime of life. ”

After silently reciting this reason in his heart several times, the Great Elder slowly got up and moved his sore shoulders.

He bowed to the patriarch who was seated at the top, then walked over to Asuka with his hands behind his back and sat down.

"Hey, hey!"

Seeing the sudden appearance of the Great Elder, Asuka and Ryoichi suddenly stopped talking and looked to the side, "San Lang (Great Elder), what are you doing here suddenly?" ”

The Great Elder took out a handful of melon seeds from his pocket, divided some among them, and said as he ate.

"It's nothing, the old man is just a little interested in the topic you are talking about."

Click!

Asuka turned his back to Uchiha Fugaku, looking at the Great Elder while knocking melon seeds.

What was he talking about? I'm talking about Madara Uchiha.

The old man in front of him would be interested in Madara Uchiha?

Click!

The Great Elder also knocked up the melon seeds, and then turned his back to Uchiha Fugaku, as if chattering, "In this era full of competition and pressure, the old man, as the Great Elder of the Uchiha clan, must keep up with you young people, as long as it is beneficial to the family, it can be recognized by the old man." ”

Speaking of this, he slapped the melon seed skin in his hand on Ryoichi's table and glanced at the other party with disdain.

Liang glanced at him and said lightly.

"San Lang, do you need the old man to treat your eyes?"

"Alas!"

Uchiha Saburo threw a melon seed into his mouth again, and sighed, "The old man just thought of someone's feudal and conservative thoughts, and he was a little sad, just someone's conservative thoughts, he didn't have the talent to serve as a great elder at all." ”

Although the Great Elder said "someone" on his lips, his gaze fell directly on Ryoichi Uchiha, and he had no intention of leaving at all.

"The old man is conservative?"

Uchiha Liang's eyes widened for a moment, and he pointed at himself in disbelief, "How dare you say that the old man is conservative?" The old man's thinking is infinitely close to the young man. ”

The next moment, I saw the Great Elder roll his eyes and retort directly.

"When the old man introduced a widow to his son, in line with the idea of "doing nothing", our elders did not interfere, let the two young people contact themselves, and continue to deal with them if they are suitable, and forget if they are not suitable.

It turns out that you're going to have to stick a bar out of it."

Bang!

The Uchiha slammed his hand on the table, and the loud noise instantly suppressed the noise in the room.

Everyone turned their heads to look at it, and then they saw Elder Liangyi, whose face was flushed, pointing at the Great Elder who was eating melon seeds, and he couldn't say a word excitedly.

"Old. Old stuff."

Liangyi took a few deep breaths and said indignantly, "You actually involve the grievances of our previous generation to the next generation, so many excellent women, you pretended not to see them, and turned your head to introduce a widow to the old man's family."

If the old man didn't interfere in that matter, the old man would now have several more grandsons who are not related by blood. ”

Click!

The Great Elder calmly knocked the melon seeds, and then wiped the spit off his face, and said slowly in the old man's voice, "Liangyi, your desire to control is too strong, we have to learn to "do nothing", and leave the young man's affairs to the young man."

"I'll go to your uncle's!"

Hearing the words "Wu Wei", Ryoichi's whole face suddenly turned the color of pig liver, he pointed to the nose of the Great Elder, and said indignantly, "The old man can see from the fact that you forced the father of the previous patriarch to marry Uzumaki Mito, old thing, you have a special opinion on widows. ”

“.”

Hearing this, the Uchiha Shinobi present closed their mouths one after another, looked at their noses and noses one by one, and listened to the gossip with their ears sideways.

Although they had heard about the events of the past, they were not witnesses after all, and they didn't know so much about some details, but they only knew that the Great Elder didn't like to express his opinions much since that incident.

"If the old man remembers correctly."

At this time, he saw that Liangyi calmed down a little, looked at the Great Elder with a rather strange look, and said, "Did you say at the clan meeting back then that if the father of the previous patriarch didn't go, you would??" ”

it?

These Uchiha people who were listening to the gossip instantly widened their eyes and looked at the Great Elder with a look of horror.

Was this old man so violent, when he was young?

Outsiders say that the Uchiha are arrogant, but they don't feel it at all as Uchiha people.

Until this moment.

It wasn't until this moment just now that these people really understood why outsiders said this, and finally understood why Uchiha Saburo was able to sit firmly in the position of Great Elder.

A bit arrogant indeed!!

"Ahem~"

Sensing that the indoor atmosphere was a little weird, Uchiha Saburo coughed lightly twice, and after pressing his hand towards the surrounding crowd, he looked up at Ryochi Uchiha and said, "Ryoichi, the old man's thinking is not conservative at all!" ”

This time, Ryoichi nodded quite approvingly, "Your thinking is indeed not conservative, and you even say that you are a little perverted, so perverted that the old man can't accept it for a while."

Mito-sama, that's a powerful ninja of the same era as Omoto-sama, and you're nearly thirty years apart."

Looking at Ryoichi's three fingers, the Great Elder twitched his cheeks fiercely.

He said that at the time, purely to stimulate the previous patriarch and the family to shinobi, and he didn't really want to talk about any twilight love with that guy.

"That's it!"

Then, the Great Elder waved his hand around, then leaned forward slightly to approach the bird, and lowered his voice.

"Asuka, the old man is very open-minded, and always adheres to the idea of "doing nothing", never interferes in the affairs of your young people, and will show you the direction when necessary.

You are the most optimistic junior of the old man, and the position of the great elder in the future is likely to be taken over by you, no matter what your plan is, as long as it is beneficial to the family, the old man will fully support you. ”

Speaking of this, the Great Elder couldn't help but muttered in his heart as he looked at Asuka with encouraging eyes.

These two people must not be deflated.

Resurrect Madara Uchiha. Is this a plan that a man can come up with??

Although Madara Uchiha saved the family last time, who knows if that guy will slap his head and betray Konoha again?

Alas!

Uchiha Madara is certainly worth remembering, but Madara who has died of old age is Madara worth remembering, and living Madara is unsettling after all.

Seeing that the Great Elder was drinking tea and looking at himself expectantly, Asuka was silent for a while before looking up at Ryoichi.

At this time.

saw Liang clasping his arms around his chest and sneering. "Just tell him, even if this old thing knows, he can only hold it in his heart, does he dare to publicize it? He didn't dare. ”

"Understood!"

Asuka nodded, then put his right hand to his mouth in the shape of a trumpet, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "We are going to start a war, the Fourth Shinobi War"

Burst!

Before the words fell, Uchiha Saburo's calm expression changed instantly, his eyes widened, and the tea in his mouth suddenly spurted out, turning into a fine mist.

At this time, a ray of sunlight shines directly on the water mist, and after the refraction of the sunlight, the water mist emits a brilliant color like a rainbow.

The Great Elder stared at the mist in deep thought for a long time, then turned his gaze to the two birds.

After a short silence, he gave a thumbs up to the two of them, and the old man's voice trembled a little, "The world has changed after all, and the old man suddenly understands that the conservative party of the family has had such a bad temper with the radical clansmen.

Once, the old man always thought that he was a radical, and no matter how bad he was, he was also a centrist.

However, it is only now that the old man suddenly realizes that the old man is a conservative, and he is also an ultra-conservative!! ”
