Chapter 25 Uchiha Gathering

Uchiha settlement, Nanga Shrine.

It's time for the Uchiha's annual gathering again.

From time to time, members of the Uchiha clan would climb the steps and enter the shrine.

There are many jounin among them, and the worst ones are also chuunin.

However, the atmosphere this year was a little more solemn, and the expressions on the faces of the ninjas coming and going were more serious.

At this time, as the clan leader, Uchiha Fugaku stood expressionlessly outside the shrine gate, folding his hands on his chest, and nodding from time to time to the ninja who greeted him.

After everyone had almost arrived, Uchiha Fugaku glanced at the forest on both sides and frowned, "Anbu?"

"Sorry, patriarch, I'm late." Uchiha Fugaku had just turned around and was about to enter the shrine when a man in his thirties suddenly appeared next to him.

"Is it Taichi? It's nothing, the meeting hasn't started yet." Uchiha Fugaku turned around and looked at the muscular man with a scar on his right cheek in front of him. The tense expression on his face also relaxed a little.

"I went to find that boy Zhisui. I told him yesterday to attend the rally today, but now I can't find him.

Although it was a gathering that could only be attended by clan members who had opened the Sharingan and reached the level of Chuunin, the boy's strength had long surpassed that of Chunin, and he really had no awareness of being an Uchiha. "

Although Uchiha Taichi was criticizing Uchiha Shisui, his face was full of a happy smile, and he was obviously very satisfied with Shisui.

He is an elite Jonin of the Uchiha clan, and his strength ranks among the top five in the Uchiha clan.

As a wealthy family in Konoha, the Uchiha clan spends half a day every week for the jounin of the clan to give lectures to the genin and teach them ninjutsu.

Even if Konoha's newly graduated genin are now divided into groups and let the mentoring jounin lead the team, how many genin can have a dedicated jounin to guide them every week, or multiple jonins take turns giving lectures, which is something that ordinary genin will never enjoy. treatment.

Konoha had just experienced three tragic victories, and its fighting strength was tense.

In addition to the jounin sent out to perform tasks, many of the guiding jounin were promoted from chuunin.

Many of them are special jounin, but their strength is still inferior to that of ordinary jounin, let alone those elite jounin who have experienced great battles.

A very real problem is that a student with good qualifications becomes a genin at about 10 years old. Even if he becomes a chuunin within 5 years and takes another 5 years to have the strength of an elite chuunin, he will already be 20 years old.

Then he will perform some high-level tasks and become a special jounin. Now three more genin will be assigned to him. How many powerful genin can he teach?

Of course, for ninjas with family backgrounds, it doesn't matter what kind of jounin they follow. Anyway, they are taught by powerful seniors in the family.

Think about the famous ninjas in Konoha. Kakashi's teacher was the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato, and Namikaze Minato's teacher was Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas.

Of course, this is the master-disciple inheritance of the Hokage line, which is special and not representative.

For example, the twelve young masters of Konoha were in peacetime, when jounin resources were not tight, so the teacher configuration was very good.

In this era of tight jounin resources, an inevitable problem is to allocate as many talented students as possible to powerful jounin.

Students with less talent should try their best to complete the six years of ninja school and wait for the new round of resource allocation, or repeat the grade. If that doesn't work, they can work as support staff directly after graduation.

Being a teacher at a ninja school can at least keep you away from high-risk tasks.

Despite this, Konoha's model among the five major ninja villages is also the model that best cultivates talents and has the highest survival rate of genin.

Thanks to the deep penetration of the Will of Fire into the hearts of the people, the death rate of jonin in Konoha's class during the war years was sometimes higher than that of genin, which was considered very conscientious.

To describe it in one sentence, "it all depends on the support of peers."

"Shisui's talent is indeed rare in the entire history of the Uchiha clan. It is the hope for the future of our Uchiha clan." Uchiha Fugaku strongly agreed with Uchiha Taichi's point of view.

Taichi Uchiha smiled happily: "And Master Itachi's talent seems to be not inferior to Shisui. There is nothing better than this for the Uchiha clan."

Hearing Taichi praise his son, Uchiha Fugaku couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his heart. It can be said that Itachi is the son he is proud of. He also believes that Itachi is as good as Shisui, who is astonishingly talented. It is only time to surpass him. question.

"Speaking of Itachi, I remembered it. We don't have to wait for Shisui, he must have accompanied Itachi to practice.

Itachi, this kid, originally thought that the things taught in the ninja school were too simple, so he pestered me to teach him ninjutsu as soon as school was over.

Ever since I met Shisui, he didn't ask me to teach him much. "

Speaking of this, Uchiha Fugaku's tone couldn't help but taste a bit disgusting, but maybe he didn't notice that when he mentioned Itachi, a rare smile appeared on his face.

"With Itachi and Shisui, our Uchiha clan will have to...hum!" Taichi Uchiha looked excited, but suddenly snorted and looked towards the forest diagonally behind him.

The irises of his eyes instantly turned scarlet, with three magatama evenly distributed, and an astonishing aura and killing intent rose from him.

The scar on his right cheek coupled with the Sharingan also made him look more ferocious.

"Taiichi." Uchiha Fugaku walked up to Uchiha Taichi and gently patted his shoulder.

Uchiha Taichi's momentum was lost, and he immediately retracted his Sharingan. His eyes returned to normal, and then he said coldly: "The people from the Anbu are getting more and more excessive."

For such a large-scale gathering of the Uchiha clan, even if it is in accordance with the village's rules, it is understandable to send some Anbu ninjas to check it out, but it is a bit too much to be so close and have people in three directions.

"Ah~ I just don't know if it is the third generation, or the "root", or the intention of the entire high-level." Uchiha Fugaku sighed. He is both a ninja of Konoha and the patriarch of the Uchiha clan. He is helpless most of the time.

Suspect is the biggest enemy, but this enemy seems to be impossible to eliminate.

"What's the difference between them, since the Nine-Tails..." Uchiha Taichi narrowed his eyes.

"Husband, everyone is here, we can start."

Uchiha Mikoto walked out of the shrine and called to Uchiha Fugaku.

"Stop talking, let's go in." Uchiha Fugaku nodded to Uchiha Mikoto, and then to Uchiha Taichi.

......

"It's been almost a year since the Nine-Tails Rebellion, and the village still doesn't trust us?"

"Are we just going to stay on the edge of the village?"

"Captain, we can't just compromise like this."

"Everyone, it took a lot of effort to end the war, and the village hasn't been at peace for long. Now is not the time to talk about this, everyone should be patient. I will negotiate with the village again."

In the shrine, the Uchiha clan was excited, and Uchiha Fugaku tried his best to appease them.
