Chapter 38 Uchiha Clan Association
Chapter 38 Uchiha Clan Association
Hoshino Feng was enjoying a leisurely afternoon, not caring at all about what others were saying.
A few months ago, Hashirama suddenly announced that Tobirama Senju would handle government affairs on his behalf.
People were not surprised at first, after all, Hashirama didn't look very smart.
It would probably be torture for him to sit in the office.
I just thought that maybe the Hokage was tired of this kind of life, but as time went on, Hashirama rarely showed up, which led to rumors gradually spreading.
For a while, there was a lot of discussion, and people were talking about all kinds of things, but the most discussed topic was the Hokage's health.
After all, he hasn't appeared in public for a long time, which inevitably makes people wonder if something has gone wrong.
The well-informed ninja clan got some deeper inside information.
An idea suddenly came to my mind.
The pillar of Konoha, the God of Ninja Realm - Hashirama Senju, may be in trouble!!
This is not unfounded.
Ninjas start training at a young age, so their bodies will inevitably be left with hidden injuries, which will affect their lifespan to a certain extent.
Not to mention someone of Senju Hashirama's level, who has been fighting for years and injuries are inevitable.
Even if one has a strong physique, it cannot resist the decline of life.
Now that the Hokage has suddenly disappeared, everyone can't help but imagine and think of some bad things.
At this time, all the major families were discussing the Hokage, or to be more precise, the position of the next Hokage.
Uchiha clan land
All the Uchiha clan members who have opened the Sharingan gathered here, including Uchiha Nozomi.
Everyone knelt and sat upright with their backs straight.
Ever since Uchiha Madara defected, the Uchiha clan has been quiet and nothing has happened for a long time.
The current clan leader, Uchiha Kong, glanced at everyone with a sharp gaze, paused for a second on Uchiha Jing and Uchiha Wang, and then retracted his gaze.
He cleared his throat and said slowly: "Everyone, the Hokage has not appeared for a long time. There is a high possibility that he has health problems. Now rumors are spreading in the village. How should I, the Uchiha, respond?"
"Everyone, tell me what to do."
He just started the conversation and the rest was open for discussion.
After hearing the clan leader's words, the people below began to whisper and discuss.
Soon, a middle-aged Uchiha stood up and said angrily: "Clan leader, this is an opportunity for us Uchiha to compete for the position of Hokage!"
His words instantly created a wave of discussion, and all eyes were focused on him.
Some of those who agreed with him nodded and echoed.
"Yes, Uchiha Makoto is right, the position of Hokage should belong to us Uchiha."
"If the first generation can't be appointed, then the second generation should be the Uchiha."
"That's right, that's right, that's how it should be!"
One-third of the people agree with it, which is a number that cannot be underestimated.
Uchiha Kong lowered his head and thought, his brows deeply furrowed.
I didn't let those words affect my judgment.
"Humph, how arrogant! We don't have the strength to compete for the Hokage right now."
Some people agree, and naturally some people oppose it.
A young Uchiha objected loudly, and his reasons were straightforward.
To sum up, the Uchiha is not strong enough now and has no chance of winning.
Uchiha Makoto glared at him and said angrily: "Little brat! I think you are just scared. You don't deserve the surname Uchiha at all!"
"It's a rare opportunity now. Who says I don't have the ability?"
The man sneered, with sarcasm in his eyes.
"Strength? What strength do we have? Since that person left, our Uchiha situation has been on the edge of a cliff. If you still want to compete for the Hokage, won't you be dragging the Uchiha into the abyss?"
He said with disdain, looking down on all these arrogant people and saying they were completely brainless.
"Do you dare to say it again?"
"So what if I said it!"
The two of them were at loggerheads, their eyes sparking invisible sparks and the atmosphere was full of gunpowder.
"Enough! Shut up!" Uchiha Kong couldn't stand it any longer. What did he think this place was? A vegetable market?
The clan leader spoke and suppressed the two people who disliked each other. Their quarrel made his head buzz with pain.
"Well, what do the elders think?"
He ignored the others and focused his attention on the three elders.
These are all old people. They may not be very strong, but their experience is far superior to those present.
As the young man said, Uchiha is still on the brink.
Since the founding of Konoha Village, the first rebel ninja came from Uchiha, which made the family lose face.
Every step we take now must be cautious, and we must not take any empty steps.
It is said that having an old person in the family is like having a treasure. Now we need the experience and advice of the elderly.
The Great Elder and the other two elders looked at each other, stroked their gray beards, and said.
"Clan leader, the position of Hokage is indeed not ours at the moment."
"Elder! We..." Uchiha Makoto could no longer sit still and was about to speak.
The Great Elder raised his hand slightly to stop him from saying the next words.
"Don't be impatient, little guy. Impatience will affect your judgment." The elder said slowly.
He was the oldest person present, already had one foot in the coffin, and spoke slowly and calmly.
If it weren't for the patriarch's repeated requests, he would probably be enjoying a leisurely afternoon.
Uchiha Makoto sat down with an unwilling look on his face due to the authority of his elders.
The great elder opened his eyelids and looked at everyone with cloudy eyes, a gleam of light in his eyes.
"If the second generation Hokage is as I expected, it should be born between Senju Tobirama and Hoshino Kaede."
The words were full of confidence and the tone was very affirmative.
The reactions of the tribesmen below were varied, some were resentful, some were shocked, and some were regretful.
Uchiha Kong saw all these looks and sighed in his heart.
You are still too young. You are tempted by the immediate benefits and have lost your basic judgment.
"Why? It's okay for Tobirama, but why does that brat Hoshino Kaede have the right?!"
Uchiha Makoto said this with gritted teeth, as if Hoshino Kaede was his enemy.
"Huh?" The Great Elder frowned and was about to scold.
Uchiha Kong took the lead, a strong aura poured onto him, his eyes were cold.
Uchiha Makoto felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and his whole body was cold.
It felt like someone was squeezing my heart hard, and my breathing became rapid.
“How dare you!!” Uchiha Kong roared, his hair and beard stood up, and his pair of scarlet blood eyes opened.
Uchiha Makoto suddenly felt pressured and didn't dare to look him in the eye.
A strong person may not necessarily be the clan leader, but the clan leader must be powerful.
"Kong, forget it. They still know too little about that person." The Great Elder tried to smooth things over.
But Uchiha Makoto still looked stubborn and didn't even notice the person who kept winking at him.
"I'm right, he's not qualified!!"
"You! You idiot!!" Uchiha Kong was furious, his body trembling slightly, and the disappointment in his eyes was beyond words.
At the same time, his eyes were always on Uchiha Wang.
After all, the relationship between the two is unusual, and they are both very talented.
If he becomes alienated from the family because of this, it would be more trouble than gain.
