Outskirts of Konoha.

The low mountains are rolling, the chirping of sparrows can be heard on the roof of the shrine, and the petals of the century-old cherry trees are falling with the warm wind, which is sad and beautiful.

It takes some time to walk up the hill to the chamber.

Many Uchiha clan members chatted along the road, walked on the stone steps covered with cherry blossoms, passed through the torii gate, and stood in front of the main hall, waiting for the arrival of the clan leader.

"Hey, did you hear that? The village seems to be taking action against the police department recently."

"As early as the night when the Kyuubi attacked the village, when the Anbu surrounded our tribe, I expected to take action. Those high-level officials have never trusted us."

"After all, Kyuubi's eyes have the Sharingan."

"We are all at home, how can anyone control the Nine-Tails? Besides, that requires so much power!"

"Is there a possibility that Uchiha Madara...is still alive!"

"Hush! The patriarch is here."

The discussion quickly stopped, and everyone saluted Fugaku. After he entered the meeting hall, they entered one after another.

A very old shrine that has been renovated without feeling dilapidated.

There are vermilion pillars and exquisite screens, but there are no shrines or Buddha statues. Instead, they are covered with tatami mats, and their seats are in order.

"Look over there, Uchiha Itachi is here too."

"Oh, he is really the son of the patriarch. However, I am more concerned about Uchiha Akashi. That guy is very close to the Third Hokage and was a subordinate of Orochimaru. It is difficult to judge his position."

"It's just soft bones." Someone next to him snorted coldly.

Akashi knelt and sat in the middle, looking in all directions and listening in all directions, but remained silent.

His reputation has always been bad within the clan, and he has long been used to it.

The family meeting begins with the sound of bells.

Uchiha Fugaku saw everyone sitting down and said: "Everyone, it has been half a year since the Nine-Tails Rebellion. Konoha has generally recovered its strength and is preparing to start a new construction plan. Today I am discussing this plan with everyone. discuss."

"New construction plan?"

Many people are confused.

"Yes, since the Nine-Tails attack also caused damage to the police department, Konoha decided to help us relocate the clan and police department to the outskirts of the village this time."

Speaking of this, Uchiha Fugaku stopped.

The expected quarrel broke out.

The older generation of ninjas still know how to exercise restraint, but their faces are stiff and they sneer again and again.

Some young people were arrogant and had hot tempers. They shouted directly: "What does this mean? They are obviously trying to isolate us."

"What does the village think of Uchiha?"

"Too deceiving!"

"Master Patriarch, you didn't agree, did you?"

The radical Uchiha protested.

When they got tired of shouting, the representative of the moderate faction persuaded them: "After what happened with Kyuubi, it is reasonable for the village to be suspicious of us. At least the police department is still under our control and our power has not been reduced."

"Yes, the top priority is to rebuild the village's trust in us."

trust?

Is there still trust?

A few of the most impulsive clan members almost jumped up to retort, their faces turning red.

Just when the two sides were arguing, Uchiha Fugaku coughed, and the meeting hall suddenly became extremely quiet.

At this time, Fugaku's prestige was at its peak.

His voice made everyone hold their breath and sit back in their seats.

"I know that moving is a chore and no one wants to do it, but as a part of the village and the founder of the village, Uchiha should think about the overall situation."

This sentence basically states the position.

Fugaku continued, "Having said that, the village's solution is too harsh. I will try my best to get more compensation. What do you think?"

"This……"

Everyone hesitated.

The patriarch's intention was already clear. He was on the side of the moderates.

In fact, Konoha suffered heavy casualties in the Third Ninja War, and the Uchiha clan also suffered considerable casualties. It was not a wise choice to break up with the village at this time.

During the Nine-Tails Rebellion, they suffered the loss of being dumb.

Fugaku couldn't figure it out, who could use the Sharingan to control the Kyuubi?

The handle is finally down.

The Fourth Hokage died, and public opinion in the village was under great pressure.

Danzo took this opportunity to propose a relocation plan, which was indeed very ruthless.The Third Hokage had just cut Danzo's basic funding due to the assassination, and it was inconvenient to obstruct him any more, lest the high-level relations become too tense and make people laugh.

After all kinds of considerations, Fugaku chose to compromise.

"After all, the most cowardly person in the ninja world." Akashi already knew the result and yawned softly.

"What did you say?" Shisui next to him turned his head curiously.

"Ah, I say the patriarch has great views."

Akashi smirked expertly.

Amid everyone's whispers, Uchiha Takehiko stood up and said, "Master Patriarch, with all due respect, this decision is really difficult for us to make."

Fugaku sat upright, glancing at Akashi from time to time.

The meaning is very clear——

It's your turn to play.

If it is spoken well, it can pave the way for his conclusion; if it is spoken poorly, it can also attract the firepower of radicals. Anyway, this child has not been ridiculed once or twice. He has a good psychological quality and he can be trusted.

Akashi received the signal and immediately grinned:

"Is it difficult to do it? I don't think we should do it."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the conference hall was shocked, even Fugaku was stunned.

What the hell?

Where are you from?

Uchiha Inari snorted coldly: "What do you think this is?"

"My idea is that I have no idea. We will discuss here from morning to night, and from night to morning. Can we discuss with the top management of Konoha? In the end, we will not accept the decision with dissatisfaction."

"What did you say!"

"It's just the truth. What if you don't accept it? Are you rebelling?"

Akashi shrugged.

Although he laughed at Fugaku's weakness, he was not wrong in his decision to relocate the clan.

The Uchiha needed time to gather strength.

With one sentence, everyone's mouths were blocked. Uchiha Inahu gritted his teeth and said bravely: "Reverse... just rebel!"

Akashi's eyes were calm: "The higher-ups in Konoha know Uchiha very well, but Inari-kun, do you know the higher-ups in Konoha? Do you know how many ANBU establishments there are? How many subordinates does Danzo have? How many people are watching outside during our meeting now?"

Speaking of this, many people's hair stood on end.

Akashi continued, "I guess you don't know."

"Then you know?"

"I don't know either, so I won't say childish words like 'rebellion'."

Within two seconds, a familiar sarcastic voice came.

All kinds of teasing, such as flattery, coward, wallflower, etc. came out in an endless stream, some even deliberately amplified the volume.

"You have been bribed by the higher-ups a long time ago, right? You always run to the Hokage Building. Traitor!" Uchiha Ryoichi jumped out again and shouted angrily.

"I have gone to the Hokage several times, and so far I have helped each household increase their compensation by 5000 taels per square meter. If I really want to make a proposal, I would like to ask the patriarch for more money."

Akashi patted his forehead and said, "Since you can't resist, just increase the price."

Isn’t it nice to get money and move to a new home?

As for the police department, where people hate dogs, they really think they have a lot of power.

Would it be better to have a bigger layout?

"you……"

The opponents hesitated for a long time and had nothing to say.

Although this guy is annoying, his speech is very coherent, and he is even fighting for the interests of his tribe. His remarks about joining the Hokage do not seem to be tenable.

A rare silence returned to the conference hall.

After the tribe calmed down, they reluctantly accepted the reality.

Yeah, what can they do?

He's just complaining among his own family.

From the clan leader Fugaku to the older jounin, everyone felt that what Akashi said was reasonable. Since it was an irresistible fact, there was no point in sulking. It was better to strive for more benefits.

Fugaku was quite pleased that he had read it correctly.

Akashi is a talent!

Letting him be a double agent was the best decision.

At this time, a voice broke the calm.

"Brother Akashi, you must have found out the specific plans of Konoha's top brass, right?"

The speaker was Uchiha Itachi. He had been kneeling next to Uchiha Fugaku. Now he stood up and spoke in a very mature tone, looking particularly wise.

Several elders next to him showed approving smiles.

LOL!

I'm almost done and calling it a day, but you're the only one who talks so much!

Akashi cursed in his mind and ignored Itachi's question. His brows perked up: "How did you get in?"

"I……"

"When will it be the genin's turn to join the clan?"

There was an uproar.

Uchiha Akashi has always had his own way of doing things, and everyone knows this. Young people from the Uchiha clan can't be called young people if they don't have any personality or arrogance.

But I didn't expect him to dare to speak like this.

You must know that Uchiha Itachi is the clan leader's son. Wouldn't it be disrespectful to the clan leader to confront him?

Fugaku was also dumbfounded.

Aren't you from my side?

Indeed, it was against the rules for genin to participate in a clan meeting. After all, there were many ninjas in the clan, and the genin were mainly children under ten years old, so they could not give constructive opinions. Moreover, there were too many people to sit down.

Although, Itachi is my son and a genius, can it be the same?

This is irrational and not easy to happen.

Fugaku was very depressed.

However, Itachi took a step forward and said with a smile: "Actually, chuunin and genin are just different positions. I thought it would be better to use my strength to prove the legitimacy of my being here. Brother Akashi, you can see if I have the qualifications." .”

The implication behind the words is obvious, he wants to challenge Akashi.

but……

What do chuunin and genin mean, just different positions?

Does this mean you are stronger than a chuunin?

Now some Uchiha chunin were unhappy.

Akashi sneered secretly. If you can't speak, you don't have to speak. The child is pretending too much, and it actually looks a bit annoying.

Everyone's backs straightened up. Those who were watching the excitement, those who were against Fugaku, those who were jealous of Itachi's talent, and those who were disgusted with Akashi's attitude all cast excited glances.

Everyone suddenly discovered that a fight between the two might be more attractive than today's issue.

Akashi scratched his head, grinned and said, "Okay."

I didn't say the second half of the sentence - in fact, I wanted to beat you up a long time ago.
