Sunny and cheerful Konoha Genin

Chapter 198 Uchiha

"Why didn't you go to the celebration party?" Toru Ito looked at Hongdou and asked with a puzzled look.

He knew that the Third Hokage had held a celebration banquet and invited all the ninjas who had participated in the war. As a ninja who participated in the war, Red Bean should be eligible to attend this banquet. However, she did not appear there.

Hongdou glanced at Ito Toru, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, revealing a faint smile: "Didn't you go either?"

She didn't seem to care that she missed the celebration party, and instead turned her attention to Toru Ito.

Ito Toru nodded slightly, a bitter smile flashed across his face: "Yeah, I didn't go either."

He sighed inwardly. On the surface, this seemed to be just a simple celebration banquet, but in fact it was an important moment for Konoha Village to reshuffle after the war.

The protagonist of this banquet is undoubtedly Orochimaru, and the benefits he can get will definitely not be too much.

In addition to the fact that the interests of Konoha Village have long been divided up by the major ninja clans, there is also a group hiding in the dark and watching covetously.

While these ninja clans formed the Konoha Village, they also invisibly blocked the path of many people.

They are like the leaves of Konoha, growing denser and more complex, even surpassing the branches themselves...

In comparison, the Senju and Sarutobi clans, the two clans that have produced Hokage, are almost extinct.

If it weren't for Toru Ito's intervention, Tsunade would have become the only one left in the Senju clan.

Who can I talk to to explain this?

In short, the victory in the war now masks many contradictions.

But it is only temporary after all.

The real conflict breaks out at the celebration party when the benefits begin to be distributed.

And Orochimaru will finally realize that the village he lives in has actually become as sealed as solidified soil, making it impossible to breathe.

But the person who wanted to maintain all this was his beloved teacher Sarutobi Hiruzen.

And Sarutobi Hiruzen also placed his hopes on Orochimaru, expecting him to continue the current situation.

Because this is the peace in the heart of the Third Hokage.

He is a doctor of ninjutsu, and many strange and bizarre ninjutsu can be used to form combat power in his hands.

So he thought the same was true for the village.

No matter what kind of ninja clan it is, as long as they are willing to be used by Konoha and stand with Konoha, that's enough.

However, this is just a naive fantasy after all.

In comparison, although Danzo's idea is wrong, it is at least a solution.

By attacking one ninja clan, one can warn other ninja clans and create a huge loss of benefits at the same time.

But this requirement is very strict.

First of all, they cannot be ninjas close to the Hokage and Konoha, otherwise it will cause panic among the people. Secondly, the ninja clan cannot be too small, otherwise the benefits that flow out will be almost nothing.

The reason why the Senju clan and the Sarutobi clan became less famous after they left Hokage is because they gave up the interests of their own ninja clan.

The so-called sacrifice of small family for the sake of big family.

But other ninja clans certainly don't have such awareness.

Especially the current Uchiha clan.

I was in a very embarrassing predicament.

But they did not know the root cause of their predicament, and instead blamed it all on the villagers' jealousy of their genius.

Being confident is a good thing, but if excessive confidence turns into arrogance, it may not be a good thing...

This was clearly felt when Yukina and Shisui returned to the Uchiha clan's territory.

"If the Uchiha clan had taken action, the war would have ended long ago!"

"Humph, I think the Hokage is just worried that our contribution is too great and it would be difficult to reward us."

"We're still negotiating, but the three ninjas and White Fang actually managed to achieve a peace negotiation result! If all members of our security team were to go to the front line, they would have directly destroyed the Sand Village!"

"That's it!"

Such outrageous remarks are common in the Uchiha clan.

Yuina could only frown slightly and pull Shisui past quickly.

"Sister Yukina..."

Shisui noticed that her face had turned very bad, so he comforted her.

"Those are just drunken words. Don't take them to heart."

"I know."

Yukina sighed and shook her head.

"Ito once told me not to oppose those who don't know what war is, because they can only comfort themselves in this way."

"But I thought there wouldn't be such a person in our Uchiha clan."

"..."

"Okay, let's not talk about these unhappy things. The Great Elder is still waiting for us."

The two of them hurriedly came to the outside of Uchiha Setsuna's house.

I found that there were already guards standing outside.

"The Great Elder is in a meeting. You can't go in now."

Even if he was speaking to someone of the same tribe, the guard was rude to him.

"We understand." After looking at each other, Yuina and Shisui stood quietly outside the house.

At this time, a group of people had gathered in the house, a huge crowd, all of them were high-ranking members of the Uchiha clan.

These people were either invited to the celebration party but did not go, or were not invited at all.

Uchiha Fugaku was also among the crowd. He had a high status, so he was at the front. The rest of the people were either serious, gloomy, or looking ahead with a hint of doubt.

The Uchiha clan is famous for its powerful eye skills. The people in the clan are confident in their own strength and believe that they are the only true guardians of Konoha Village. This pride makes them disdain to attend other people's celebration banquets because they feel that it is not their honor.

The person who presided over this meeting was the great elder of the Uchiha clan - Uchiha Setsuna!

He is a hawk of the Uchiha clan, claiming to have inherited Madara's will. He is quite dissatisfied with the policy of the Second Hokage in governing the Uchiha clan, and is eager to take back the initiative from the Senju clan.

For this reason, he even led a group of people to try to cause trouble, and then he was arrested and thrown into jail.

Then the Second Hokage was gone.

After the Third Hokage took office, his mind became much less focused.

After all, as long as they are not from the Senju clan, it’s fine.

However, some recent movements he noticed made Uchiha Setsuna unable to remain calm.

“Today, maybe everyone still doesn’t know why we are gathering here.”

Uchiha Setsuna, who looked a little old, glanced at everyone and then set his gaze on the young man in front of him.

"Fugaku, do you know?"

"Is it because of the victory in the war, Great Elder?"

"No! It's about the future of our Uchiha clan!"

Uchiha Setsuna's tone suddenly became stern.

"You're so lazy, Fugaku!"
