[Naruto] The big battle to transform the image of the patriarch

This room was obviously newly renovated, and the luster of the wood was a bit too shiny.Although it is a traditional decoration style, the place in the house is not a tatami mat that requires a high sitting posture, but a high square table and a high stool.

This made Sarutobi Sasuke feel a little uncomfortable.

Sitting upright, his undisguised sharp eyes shot at the man opposite him.The other party was leaning against the back of the chair, with his hands folded in front of his chest, such a casual gesture became excessively arrogant when he was receiving guests.

Uchiha Madara.

"Please use, Sarutobi-sama. Our family has just moved to the village recently, please forgive me if the hospitality is not good." The well-dressed female ninja brought a cup of tea, and then returned to stand on Uchiha Madara's right.

Uchiha Mana.On the left hand side of Uchiha Madara, the young man who is five points like him is Uchiha Quanna.

According to intelligence, it is these three people who constitute the power core of the Uchiha clan.

What a group of young people.

He sipped his tea.

As the patriarch of the Sarutobi clan, the 35-year-old Sasuke Sarutobi is still young and vigorous, but in front of these three young people, he can't help feeling that time flies.

"Oh...is that your opinion, Chief Sarutobi?" he said.

This vicious young man was only in his early twenties. He didn't look very strong, nor did he have a fierce face. Instead, he was tall and straight with handsome features. The sharp light that shoots out when the eyeballs move slightly, no one will doubt whether he is not worthy of his name.

Even this sarcasm full of sarcasm seems to have become the natural arrogance of the superior when he uttered it.

Sarutobi Sasuke doesn't like him.Sarutobi and Uchiha had fought before, and he didn't like Uchiha very much at that time.Now seeing Uchiha Madara himself, he is even more sure that this will not be the leader that their Sarutobi clan should follow.

"My Sarutobi clan has always advocated integrity, and what I hope to follow is a brave and kind ninja like Master Hashirama." He said, "Although the Uchiha clan is powerful, it does not conform to the ninja practiced by our clan."

He speaks straight, looks and behaves rigidly, and looks very stubborn.But his eyes are clear and firm, neither dodging nor avoiding, which also shows that this person has a noble character.

No wonder he likes Hashirama.

"So," Madara's expression was almost boring, "you came to my Uchiha's place just to announce that Sarutobi's master can only be Senju Hashirama?"

Is there something wrong with your mind?

This sentence is almost straightforward.

The other party frowned, obviously displeased by this impoliteness, but still explained: "I didn't mean to offend Uchiha. It's just that as a future ally, I think it is necessary to explain the tendency of our clan before forming an alliance. Avoid endangering the existence of the alliance because of unnecessary suspicion in the future."

Madara smiled, thinking it was very interesting, he leaned forward slightly away from the back of the chair, and asked, "You mean, the Sarutobi clan is sure that they will be on Senju's side no matter what, so Uchiha doesn't have to bother trying to win you over." support?"

"Although it's rude to describe it like this, but...it's true. Since we are determined to follow Master Hashirama's will," he said seriously, "we will carry it out to the end."

"Hashirama's will..." Madara straightened his face, pretending to be listening attentively, and asked, "I'd like to hear how Patriarch Sarutobi understands Hashirama's will."

"I hope that people will abandon hatred and build peace together, never give up this ideal at any time, and protect this ideal at any cost," Sasuke Sarutobi said, "This is what I read from Lord Hashirama's words and deeds Yes, his will."

"And you think the Uchiha clan doesn't have such an idea." Madara's tone could not hear emotion.

But to his surprise, Sarutobi Sasuke gave a negative answer after a pause.

"After our family decided to follow Master Hashirama, we shouldn't contact Uchiha anymore." He said, "As the patriarch, I decided to come to see Uchiha temporarily."

"...Then, I would like to hear more about it."

"I have heard rumors that the Uchiha clan is born with hatred, and it is hatred that endows Uchiha with a strong fighting power." The patriarch of the Sarutobi family suddenly expressed emotion, "But until I personally came When I came to Konoha, I found that the people here praised Uchiha, and even trusted them. Even ordinary people who are afraid of ninjas love and admire Uchiha. This not only makes me very puzzled. Therefore, I think there is It is necessary to personally visit the head of the Uchiha clan."

"But that doesn't change your decision."

"Yes," he admitted, "now I still believe that only Hashirama-sama is the right leader. This determination is unquestionable, but... I used to think that the future of my family lies in firmly carrying out Hashirama-sama's will. Now But I think that the future may lie in Senju and Uchiha working hand in hand, and it may not be certain."

Madara was silent for a while, and said: "This is really, unexpected statement... Then, Patriarch Sarutobi, let me give you a word."

"please say."

"If you stick to the will of others too much, maybe in the end...it will create the opposite darkness instead."

When it was confirmed that the figure of Sasuke Sasuke had disappeared, Mana and Quanna turned left and right, and at the same time looked at the patriarch with a serious face.

"elder brother……"

"Brother Ban!"

"elder brother."

"Master Patriarch!"

Madara Fuezu: "Stop playing tricks... If you have something to say, hurry up."

In the face of these two people, it seemed that even the long hair that had exploded had drooped a percentage point helplessly.

Mana and Quanna looked at each other with a smile, and the former made a grimace.

"What's the meaning of the last sentence that big brother said to Sasuke Sasuke just now?" Quan Na humbly asked for advice.

Madara looked at Mana, and found that "Yes, I also want to ask this" was written on the girl's face, and her big eyes were shining.

two small children.He smiled inwardly.

"...It's just to scare him." Madara didn't show any expression, but his eyes showed a little triumph of mischief, "It's really annoying to talk about Master Hashirama's ideals. It's not unavoidable to completely take other people's ideals as your own ideals. too boring."

He turned around to go back to the house, motioning for the other two to follow.

Madara had to wear a formal Montsuki haori hakama all the time because of Mana's shamelessness.At this moment, his clothes fluttered as he walked, his black feathers and long hair fluttered in the wind, and the silver dark lines appeared and disappeared from time to time, making his back look more vigorous.

Quanna let out an "oh" in disappointment.

Mana was stunned for a while, then suddenly cleared her throat, and said to Quanna unnaturally: "But this lord is really... I don't know if I should say it's too upright or just out of my mind..."

Hearing what she said, Quan Nai also enthusiastically joined in the complaint: "That's right, it's fine if you decide to follow Senshou, but you actually came to Uchiha to explain the reason in such a serious way... Could it be that Uchiha has a bad temper? Dare to beat him?"

"Sure enough, not everyone has the vision to immediately put aside the division of the family and consider things from the perspective of the alliance as a whole." Mana scratched her head, a little helpless, "Why is the human heart so stubborn and complicated..."

"...People's hearts are always more stubborn and complicated than you can imagine." Madara didn't look back, but said lightly, "Trust and understanding are hard."

"But," Quan Nai suddenly said, "Sasuke Sarutobi, although he looks stubborn, naive and stubborn, but..."

"But unexpectedly, he's not an annoying person, right?" Mana squinted at him and laughed and answered, getting a stare from the beautiful boy.

"Anyway, it's much better than Shimura Yuzo." Quanna came to a conclusion.

"Shimura Yuzo..." Hearing this name, Mana frowned subconsciously.

Shimura Yuzo is a very dark person.He has short dark brown hair like a hedgehog, and his body and facial features are ordinary, but a pair of hanging triangle eyes make a deep impression on people, especially in which there are many whites and few eyeballs. He was thinking about something, but there was a smile on his lips, which made him feel even more disharmonious.

He came to visit the day before yesterday.Since Uchiha hadn't finished relocating, Konoha was short of manpower, so only Mana was there to receive and lead the way at the door.Coincidentally, Shimura Yuzo, as the patriarch of the Shimura clan, did not bring any guards or attendants.At that time, when he saw Mana, his face showed a thoughtful look, saying that he had admired his name for a long time, and then tactfully expressed his surprise at Uchiha's good reputation in Konoha. It's secretive but I know it's all thanks to you dear"...

Well, the last sentence was summed up by Mana himself.In short, he is an inexplicable person.Although it was uncomfortable, but because he didn't say anything substantive, Mana simply ignored it.

Then, Shimura Yu hid in the conversation with Madara, trying to provoke the relationship between Uchiha and Senshou, expressing that the Shimura clan has always worshiped the power of Uchiha, and if everyone can form an alliance, they will be able to fight against Senshou and jointly control the great cause...

In the end, facing the murderous intent and ridicule of the Uchiha patriarch, he walked away in shame and anger.Before leaving, for some reason, she gave Mana a vicious look.

Quanna was a little worried that this would completely push the Shimura clan to the opposite side, and Madara said disdainfully that Shimura Yuzo had visited Senju long ago, and the idea was to provoke and profit from it.If it weren't for Senju's insistence that the addition of the Shimura clan can strengthen Konoha, Madara would really like to kick them out directly.

For some reason, Mana feels that Shimura Yuzo has considerable malice towards her...

"What's wrong?" Seeing that Mana didn't answer for a long time, Quanna asked a little puzzled.

"Ah, it's nothing!" Mana waved her hand, feeling that she might have thought too much, "It's just that Yuzo Shimura is also quite strange. His own name is Yuzo, and his son's name is Danzo. Can't you be more creative?"

Quanna was taken aback, and asked, "How do you know that Yuzo Shimura's son is called Danzo?"

"Oh, this," Mana replied casually, "Takama said."

Madara stopped in his tracks.

Mana and Quanna also stopped.

At this moment, the three of them just walked into the courtyard.The new Uchiha village is located in the center of Konoha, not far from the planned commercial street, but cleverly avoids too noisy areas.And the patriarch's house is not as practical as before, but more about beauty and artistic conception.For example, in the courtyard where they are at the moment, what they admire is the small bridge, flowing water, and lush vegetation, and what they hear is the clear sound of bamboo tubes and the murmur of running water.And Madara in front just stepped on the arch bridge, and when he turned to look at her, he felt even more condescending.

"You said Senshou Feijian?!" Before Madara could open his mouth, Quanna was the first to blow his hair, and asked Mana aggressively, "When did you get so familiar with Senshou Feijian?!"

"It wouldn't be considered familiar..." Mana revealed a look of reminiscence, "I just mentioned this matter when I was discussing with him about the first issue of the newspaper."

"Newspaper?" Quan Na grabbed the word.

"Ah, that," Mana remembered that Quanna didn't know about it, and she explained, "Yes, Konoha's official newspaper is used to report various policies and current events. Originally, I went to him to ask if I could It came out as an editorial column first, but he said that the election is coming soon, so he needs to do an election explanation and publicity first... Brother Ban knows about this, you can ask him. Right, Brother Ban?"

Quan Nai looked at her elder brother.Based on the understanding between the brothers, he felt that his eldest brother's expression was a little subtle at the moment, as if he wanted to deny it but couldn't deny it.

Quan Nai cleverly interpreted that the eldest brother did not want to cooperate with Senshou Feijian but had to wrong himself for the sake of the overall situation.He first cast a respectful look at his eldest brother, and then warned himself that since his eldest brother judged that cooperation was necessary, he should not act childishly.

He cleared his throat, and said as calmly as possible: "So... that's not right! What's the matter between Youzang in Guanzhi Village and his son?"

"This is..."

===========Memories===========

"You mean the editorial column?" The silver-haired young man raised his head from the official document, not hiding the suspicion in his eyes.

"Aren't you tired like a hedgehog at any time, Tobuma." Mana said bluntly, "I don't know who it was. On the day of the cooperation, they warned me not to cause problems, but turned around and sold me."

"..." There was no way to refute it.

He put down his pen and said frankly, "This incident was my mistake, and I apologize."

Mana nodded, accepted it as soon as it was good, and said in a polite manner: "Then let's get down to business. Although the newspaper that was agreed before will be undertaken by an independent organization, but now Hokage has not yet been selected, so there is no official organization."

"That can be arranged by Hokage after Hokage is selected," Tomona frowned and said without hesitation, "You don't want to intervene in the operation of the newspaper right now, Mana."

"You think too much," Mana immediately denied, "It's just that many families have expressed their intention to join Konoha recently, and many people in the village still feel a little uneasy about this. After all, we welcome so many people at once. A top ninja would probably feel insecure to ordinary people.”

"You still like to go around in circles before explaining the main topic, Mana." Tomona was a little impatient, "Let's just say, what exactly is an editorial column."

"Tokaima, if you have this attitude towards all your partners, then I will question your ability to work." Mana almost wanted to roll her eyes, "For example, invite people from different families to lead the writing, explain the philosophy of your own family, The views on Konoha are guaranteed not to hurt the people of Konoha. Not only that, but you can also comment on the behavior and ideas of other families. Of course, you can’t fabricate and slander, so someone needs to review it. The general idea is like this.”

There was a thoughtful look on the door.

knock --

"Come in." Toboma said.

A strange ninja walked in, saluted Tokaima first, then was stunned when he saw Mana, and saluted too.

Mana saw the family crest on his body.A ninja of the Shimura clan.

"Master Feijian, the patriarch sent me to ask, how do you think about the suggestion he made last time?"

"...Go back and tell Yuzo," Tomona glanced at Mana, and didn't let her avoid it, but said directly, "Let Danzo finish his ninja school first, and then let me see if he is suitable to be my disciple. .”

The other party was obviously disappointed, but still respectful, and then left.

"Danzo?" Mana frowned when she saw the other party close the door, "Does Shimura have a younger brother of Kuro?"

"...No," Fei Jian seemed a little speechless, "You have a son."

"Huh?" Mana's mouth twitched, "Father's name is Yuzo, son's name is Danzo?"

After saying this, looking at Toma's expressionless face, Mana suddenly remembered that the former patriarch of the Thousand Hands Clan was called Thousand Hands Buddha, and his sons were all in the configuration of Thousand Hands X.

In contrast, the naming of their Uchiha clan is much more formal... For some reason, there is a strange sense of superiority.

"It seems that Shimura Yuzo is very optimistic about you," she said without changing her face, as if she was not aware of an embarrassing fact at all, "now I plan to get closer to you."

"What are you implying?" Fei Jian's face darkened.

"Shimura Yuzo is not a good person, you'd better be careful," Mana said with a smile, "This is advice from a partner."

"Don't bother." Tobuma clenched his fists, a little annoyed, but he still endured, "About the editorial you mentioned..."

Mana looked at him.

"Give it a try. But..." he said.

Mana's eyebrows twitched, she still smiled and said, "But?"

"First of all, we need to consider a more important thing," Tokama frowned. "Didn't you forget? The election is about to begin. If you must run the newspaper now, it's better to use it to explain the election process to everyone."

============Memories end===========

"...That's it." Mana said, her index finger habitually pressed against her chin, "Although there is a little more work, at least it has achieved its goal."

Mana, who was immersed in her own thoughts, didn't notice the strangeness of the other two, and clapped her fists with a smile, and said: "Although this person in Qianshoubeijian is stubborn and annoying, but as a colleague, he still has a very straightforward style. !"

Quanna: "..."

spot:"……"

"Uchiha Mana! Which side are you on!" Quan Na poked Mana's shoulder with his hand, "What are you thinking!"

As soon as Mana dodged, she pulled Madara's sleeves and hid beside him. She raised her head and opened her eyes wide to be cute: "Brother Madara, Quanna bullied me."

"Hey!" Quan Nai was angry, "Brother, don't be fooled by her!"

Madara looked at his angry younger brother, then glanced at Mana who was blinking, her black eyes narrowed slightly.

Raise your hand.

bomb.

Snapped--

Mana held her head dejectedly: "Why is it always me who gets hurt..."

Madara smiled happily, and rubbed the girl's head skillfully.

Mana, who has lost her temper because of being shunned, raised her eyes and saw Quanna's smug (?) smile, couldn't help grinding her teeth, and said to Quanna viciously: "Quenna!"

"what."

"I'm going to fight you!"

"...Hey, didn't you mean a duel? You're calling it a sneak attack by throwing your shuriken now!"

Seeing the two people fighting in the courtyard again and messing up the vegetation, Madara shook her head helplessly, but the smile on her lips widened uncontrollably.

He looked up at the sky, the cloudless blue sky was as pure and clear as a jewel, free from dust.

The election... is about to start.

small theater:

1. "...just to scare him," Madara didn't show any expression, but his eyes showed a little triumph of prank success, "it's really annoying to talk about the ideals of Mr. Hashirama. Completely taking other people's ideals as your own ideals, this kind of thing It's too boring."

Hashirama (folding arms in deep thought, nodding seriously): That's right!Konoha is the dream that Madara and I have agreed upon since we were young!I hope to be with Madara in the future...

Madara (interrupted quickly after glancing at Mana): Hashirama shut up!

Mana (sighs): Forget it... I seem to be used to it too.

2. Madara in front just stepped onto the arch bridge, and when she turned around to look at her, she felt more condescending.

It's been a long time since I've seen the second-generation family talk show.

Host: What do you think is the cutest thing about the other party?

Mana (embarrassed): I think he is cute everywhere... Ah, that's right!

(Shining eyes on Madara)

Madara (bad premonition): ...

Mana (laughs): He doesn't know why he likes to look at the world with his arms around him from high places...

Madara (quickly): Mana!

Mana (at a loss): Huh?

#179cm’s pain you don’t understand#

(Note: Mr. Madara is 179cm tall)
