Chapter 90 The Young Patriarch Is Back!
Konoha Nanga Shrine.
Uchiha Hikaru, who was wearing a gray suit, walked slowly into the secret assembly hall. After finding his seat and sitting down, he glanced around casually.
Different from the high atmosphere of the past meetings, today's clansmen seem to have lost their backbone, and they are all listless.
Uchiha Hikaru sighed. The last time this happened was back to Uchiha Madarali Village.
Thirty years have passed since then, but I didn't expect that the Uchiha family was still the same as it was then, like erratic candles, without any improvement.
After taking his eyes back, he was about to close his eyes and rest, but there was a whisper from the side.
"Fourth Elder, why are you here?"
Uchiha Hikaru turned around and saw an old man with a square face, his eyes widened in surprise, walking towards him from behind.
"I also want to ask you, I asked you for a drink the day before yesterday, and you didn't say you would lead the team to investigate the cause of the death of the patriarch, why are you back now?"
"Hey, didn't you receive a secret letter from the first elder and called me back?" The sixth elder Uchiha coughed dryly and asked in a low voice, "By the way, what's the situation in the clan now, why suddenly There was a meeting?"
"Oh, I don't know. It was decided by the elder and Uchiha Han..." After speaking, Uchiha Hikaru glanced back at the crowded hall, and suddenly said meaningfully, "Maybe it is to elect a new patriarch."
At this meeting, all the seven elders in the clan have arrived. Although they are all old people who are half-cut into the soil, their influence is still there. Such a meeting must announce important matters.
Coupled with this juncture, the death of the patriarch and the young patriarch, and the lack of a leader in the clan, must be the most important thing at the moment to quickly determine the successor.
In contrast, investigating the cause of the patriarch's death is not so urgent.
It must be said that this is a great irony, but this is the reality that can't be more straightforward. When people take a cup of tea, the living are always more important than the dead.
Thinking of this, Uchiha Hikaru couldn't help recalling the rumors that flooded the village two days ago. Although it was quickly suppressed by the three generations of Hokage, at such a sensitive moment, it will inevitably cause people's hearts to fluctuate.
How to solve it? Only to quickly determine the patriarch candidate.
"Be careful.
After sitting down beside him, the sixth elder, Uchiha name, with some thinning hair, lowered his voice.
Although he hadn't been in the village for the past two days, he was aware of everything going on in the village.
So, at times like this, you have to be more cautious.
"What are you afraid of, we are all about to die. Today such a major clan meeting did not go to the Daming Mansion to invite Chen back. What is this for? It's obviously abnormal!"
Uchiha's name was startled, "What do you mean... the Great Elder wants to bypass Chen, and now we have to determine the candidate for the patriarch?"
Uchiha Hikaru sneered: "It's not impossible, when Fuyue died, I proposed Chen to be the young patriarch, but the patriarch only wanted revenge at that time, and this matter could not be settled in the end.
Now, the patriarch is also dead, and the first elder suddenly summoned the clan, it is hard not to let people have this reverie. "
"...It's really hard to say," Uchiha finally shook his head after frowning and pondering for a while, "Let's see what the elders have to say for a while."
"That's right," Uchiha Hikaru smiled, "It's impossible to wait for the meeting to start, and still cover up what we are going to discuss today."
As time passed, the participants had basically all arrived. In the dimly lit hall, the elder Uchiha Yun waved his hand to signal the start of the meeting.
The host of this meeting was Uchiha Han. As the number one scumbag of the dead patriarch and the vice-captain of the garrison, he did have this prestige.
When they saw him walking to the stone monument, the chattering in the basement gradually stopped, and many people showed serious expressions on their faces.
"In the past year, our Uchiha clan has suffered major blows one after another. The patriarch and the young patriarch have passed away one after another. I am deeply saddened!"
Speaking, Uchiha Han gently wiped the wet corners of his eyes and continued: "I also know that everyone is in the same mood, but Uchiha can't be without a patriarch for a day, the reason why this meeting is held is to be the patriarch. Regarding the selection of candidates, I will give you a clear answer.”
"Because this matter is of great importance, we hope that the content of our discussion at the rally will be kept strictly confidential."
As soon as Uchiha Han finished speaking, a loud noise suddenly sounded in the originally quiet conference room.
They exchanged surprised glances with the person sitting next to them, and many people saw surprised expressions on each other's faces.
Patriarch election? !
Although many people sitting here have imagined various topics that may be discussed today, most of them have not thought that this will be the case.
So unexpected.
Because the most important person is not there.
You know, Uchiha Chen, as the hero of the second ninja war, shocked the ninja world at the age of eleven.
With great military exploits, Wei Mingyuan said that this is the kind of person.
With this set of halo, his reputation in the Uchiha family is almost unmatched.
Therefore, even if he doesn't say it, most Uchiha ninjas regard him as the savior of the Uchiha clan, and it is the hope that he can lead the clan to glory again.
Its influence can be imagined...
Of course, this situation is also caused by various reasons. The ruthless suppression of the village... The lack of ninjas with superior strength... A series of failures since World War II...
The Uchiha clan is desperate for a hero.
Uchiha Chen appeared in the sky, and with a light that was enough to eclipse the younger generation of Konoha, then if you don't put your hopes on him, who can you put your hopes on?
But it is such an existence that he did not attend this meeting. It is like selecting the fourth generation of Hokage, and Sanren did not appear. Isn't it too ridiculous?
The entire underground space was immediately overwhelmed by the quarrel between Chen's supporters and opponents.
["Uchiha Chen didn't come, I seriously suspect there is a shady scene."]
[“Shady ass, he is too young, no matter how powerful he is, how can the patriarch let a fourteen-year-old boy be the one?”]
[“Fuck, he will be fifteen years old after the new year, and the first Hokage became the patriarch of the Thousand Hands at the age of fifteen. Madara is in charge of the family at the age of sixteen. Is there any problem?”]
【"Uchiha Chen cooperates with which two ratios?!"】
【“Why don’t you deserve it? In my opinion, Chen’s current strength can completely beat Madara and Chudai of the same age…”]
["Hanging... You really dare to say it, why don't you say that he is in the air every second?"]
["I'm telling the truth, haven't you heard the three generations of Hokage say that Chen is the best ninja of the Uchiha clan, the existence second only to him..."]
(Three Hokage: "??")
["You Chen Blow, I have long seen that you are unhappy, come out to duel?"]
["Come on, I'm afraid you won't succeed!"]
...
...
Seeing that the clan's quarrel was getting worse and worse, and there was a tendency to stage a full martial arts, Uchiha Han, who was standing on the stage, cleared his throat and said in a serious voice.
"...All be quiet! Everyone must have heard the rumors in the village. As the saying goes, there is no wind and no waves. Chen is now suspected of killing the patriarch, so it is not included in the scope of this election."
As soon as he said these words, the entire underground space fell silent.
After a while, Hikaru Uchiha in the crowd sneered: "There were rumors back then that the mirror was killed by Mount Uchiha, but he is not the same or became the patriarch?"
"Is this the same thing?"
"Why isn't it the same thing?" Uchiha Hikaru stood up and said in a cold tone: "The people who spread such rumors are either stupid or bad, or both, the purpose is nothing but to disturb our Uchiha family.
Now is an eventful time, we must unite, do not trust our own people, should we trust those rats who only dare to talk in secret?
What do you think, vice-captain? "
"...Okay, don't say anything."
At this moment, the elder Uchiha Hikaru interrupted the quarrel between the two.
"Chen's matter, let me explain here, the reason why he didn't come is not because he doubted him, nor because I didn't inform him, but because he has a mission.
Everyone knows that he is the guardian ninja now, but it's not just that. I just learned from the three generations of Hokage... He is also the captain of the dark part now, in charge of the intelligence work of the entire country of water, so he can't come back. "
Uchiha Hikaru's words were like a detonating talisman falling into deep water, causing a thousand waves for a while.
The Uchiha clan has always wanted to infiltrate Anbu and extend the tentacles of power from the garrison, but it has not improved.
Now a dark part captain suddenly appears, so how can everyone not be surprised.
As expected of the star of hope of the Uchiha clan!
On the other hand, Uchiha Han's face was a little ugly.
He was willing to hold this meeting because the village received the promise of Danzo, and the family received the approval of the chief elder Uchiha Hikaru.
Coupled with the fact that some of the younger brothers he has secretly cultivated over the years waved the flag to cheer... the position of the patriarch is almost guaranteed.
When Uchiha Chen comes back from Damingfu, the raw rice has already been cooked, can he openly object to it?
But now I hear what Hikaru Uchiha means... It seems that I'm going to go against the water temporarily?
This old yin b goes back on his word, isn't he cheating on me? !
"Vote, raise your hand in support of Chen."
There is a platform with the Great Elder Uchiha Hikaru, four of the seven elders expressed their support, plus Uchiha Hikaru himself, a total of five people.
Uchiha Han was really confused.
Danzo also said before that his era has come, and it has fallen before it even started?
"Okay, as everyone saw it, I announced that the next patriarch will be Uchiha Chen..."
Before the Great Elder could finish speaking, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a figure rushed in.
"what happened?"
As if seeing a ghost, the guard panted, "Young Patriarch... Young Patriarch Fuyue... He's back."
"..."
