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

Starting from the future Hokage Rock, the entire Konoha Village fanned out to the south.At the foot of the rocky mountain, in the center is the ninja school with a large "Ninja" character on it. To the east of the ninja school is the future Hokage office building.Taking the Hokage office building as the starting point, the settlement to the southwest is the settlement of the Senju clan, and the settlement to the south is the settlement of the Uchiha clan.These two families occupy the current position closest to the power center of Konoha, and it is the turn of other families to go further outside.

The Shimura family's clan is located in the middle of the west, close to the Ninja School and Konoha Hospital, and the transportation is also convenient. It can be regarded as a good position because they joined Konoha early.

However, although the whole family moved to Konoha within a few months, every time Shimura Yuzo climbed up and looked east, he saw the word "fire" painted with iron and silver hooks on the future Hokage Tower, and there was a large-scale building facing each other. The residence of the two major families, this man can always feel the flame called "Ambition" burning in his heart.

Konoha—this unprecedentedly powerful ninja organization represents a new era of ninjas, which Shimura Yuzo firmly believes in.As for Senju and Uchiha, these two families who ushered in a new era will surely have glory and...power that other families cannot match.

However, this power is not unshakable.

Power can be taken.

He clenched the railing tightly, his small yellowish-brown eyes were astonishingly bright, turning back and forth between the clans of the Senju and Uchiha clans.

Then, it finally settled on the territory of the Uchiha clan.

The morning sun broke through the mist and shone on the family with the flame fan as the family emblem. The brand-new buildings shone as brightly as the family history they represented.Flying eaves, shingled tiles, flowing courtyards, and criss-crossed streets make this a small village.

This is the atmosphere of the great clan for many generations.

However, the news that this glorious, powerful, proud, and incomparable family received today may not be as bright as this dawning sun...or, in other words, it is especially gloomy.

There was a malicious smile on Yuzo's face.He thought again of the Uchiha patriarch who was so young and so powerful, and then the woman who looked gentle and harmless, but actually pushed the Uchiha clan to the Konoha center single-handedly.

Uchiha Mana.

Now you, I'm afraid it's very uncomfortable, right?

At his feet, lay a copy of "Konoha Daily" that was produced overtime last night and was freshly released in the early morning. It was facing up, and under the bright red and eye-catching title was a piece of paper that took up a quarter of the page. next to it is a huge, bold title: The first Hokage-sama-Senju Hashirama!

The subtitle of the following line: Konoha Ninja Village's first general election results were finally announced yesterday afternoon, Senjujuma narrowly won by five votes!

His eyes slid around the title again, subconsciously staring at the word "Narrow Victory" and frowned, wishing to change the "Narrow Victory" to "Great Victory", but immediately his brows relaxed, and he smiled gloatingly. Occupied his plain face again.

If you lose, you lose.It was after Uchiha Mana led such a massive publicity campaign.For that family that is so proud that it is almost arrogant, this slap from one of its own people is probably harder than anyone else's slap, right?

"Democratic elections are really a new thing..." he said to himself, "this kind of thing puts the games and fights that should have existed in the dark on the table. In the past, losing The other party can still whitewash the peace and save some face, now... ha, the proud Uchiha family, they lifted themselves up to the clouds under the eyes of everyone, and then fell down hard! Well, good fall, hahaha!"

At his feet was a half-kneeling subordinate.The man lowered his head and remained silent carefully—maintaining the silence the patriarch hoped for.

Because he knew that Yuzo would continue to enjoy the fun of humiliating Uchiha, even if it was only behind the scenes, under the condition that no Uchiha was present.

"Uchiha Mana... aren't you very powerful? Not only relying on the relationship with Uchiha Madara to firmly grasp the control of the family, but also relying on the understanding of the Senju Clan to reverse the actual meaning of the Uchiha Clan The disadvantaged situation of the defeated in the world equalized the weight of Uchiha and Senju in Konoha, and cleverly whitewashed the character flaws of the Uchiha clan in an attempt to manipulate public opinion, relying on this democratic election to push Uchiha Madara to Hokage Location...how is the result?! I really want to see your current situation and the expression on your face!"

In Yuzo's view, Uchiha Mana's greatest success is that she set the tone of the Uchiha clan's character flaws in the whole village as "cold on the outside and hot on the inside" at the very beginning, and even made the people feel that it was their own initiative. impression formed.

It is difficult for most people to question what they think.Self-righteousness is one of the bad roots of human beings, and they seldom think about why they are so determined.

However, Uchiha Mana's biggest mistake lies precisely in this.Because she even managed to make the Uchiha clan themselves think that they are such a lovable look!What's more, after the election started, did they really overwhelm the Thousand Hands Clan in the limelight?

For Uchiha one day ago, the position of the first generation of Hokage is probably already their patriarch, right?

Uchiha Madara, I'm afraid the same is true, right?

He was slapped hard by reality when he thought he had the chance to win, or he slapped himself hard in the eyes of everyone.This taste... It's better to have no hope from the beginning!

So, here comes the question: How will the Uchiha clan treat this woman who has swollen their faces?

Uchiha Madara, how will he treat this subordinate who has always trusted him?

And once, the Uchiha clan begins to have cracks from within, and even begins to resent Senju and Konoha externally, then...

The Uchiha family now occupies the position and power they hold, and there is a possibility that they will be replaced by other families.

"I'm really... very looking forward to it." He whispered excitedly, but his eyes were firmly fixed on the direction of the Uchiha clan from the beginning to the end.

There, under the brighter and brighter sunlight, there are countless green tiles, reflecting the dazzling light.

The five fingers are pressed tightly, and the palm is held empty.

Sasuke Sarutobi was holding a pen hanging from his wrist, thick and thin ink stains came out from the upper reaches of the snow-white rice paper.

"Really," he said after putting away the last stroke, "the final result has come out."

He didn't turn his head, but put down the pen in his hand and carefully looked at the work he had just completed.

"Yes. The first Hokage is definitely Senju Hashirama-sama."

Yuan Fei nodded slightly, not showing any special joy, nor any surprise, just said: "As expected."

The subordinates who came to report were a little surprised, looked up in confusion and said, "So the patriarch, have you already expected it?"

The previous elections were so vigorous that Uchiha and Senshou were on par, and many people even thought that Uchiha Madara was more likely to be elected.

But this subordinate will not doubt whether the patriarch is pretending to be profound.Sasuke Sarutobi is a man with strict self-discipline and open-mindedness. He never maintains his prestige in front of his clan by playing tricks.

"I never doubted that the first Hokage would be Senju Hashirama-sama." He walked to the window with his hands behind his back and looked in the direction of the Hokage Building.

The Sarutobi clan is adjacent to the Shimura clan, but closer to Hokage.In other words, it is to get closer to the Thousand Hands Clan, which is also a way of quietly expressing their position.

"Excuse me for being impolite, but judging from the performance of the Uchiha clan before..." the man asked curiously.

Sarutobi smiled lightly and explained: "It's actually very simple. It is precisely because the Uchiha clan has always been active in front of people that I am more sure that the winner will be Master Hashirama."

This is simply unbelievable.Although democracy and elections are all new things that everyone has never been exposed to before, judging from the voting rules, it is obvious that the party that is more popular has a better chance of winning the favor of the people.

Could it be that being too active has had the opposite effect?

As if guessing what his subordinate was thinking, Sarutobi shook his head and said, "You misunderstood. I'm not saying that the Uchiha clan's strategy is wrong, and I'm not questioning their popularity. Rather, if you can see What is the reason hidden behind their eagerness and activity, you will find that all of this is preordained."

"Patriarch," the subordinate said with a wry smile, "this subordinate really still doesn't understand..."

"Let you cultivate yourselves more at ordinary times!" Sarutobi reprimanded the man like his own children, with a stern expression but not angry, but more helpless, "Then let's be more clear. Compared with the Uchiha clan, Senju The clan always had the upper hand, and that was the case long before the lumber industry was even established."

"Does it mean... fighting?"

"This is only part of it. Although those of us in power can clearly see that Uchiha was actually in a position about to be defeated at the time, the equal alliance agreement between the two races concealed this, so for most ninjas and ordinary people , the two races are not evenly matched in terms of strength. And you have to see that these people are the majority."

"Does that mean that the Thousand Hands have the upper hand in other areas?"

"That's right, and this kind of advantage is the most important." Sarutobi looked in the direction of the Qianshou clan and said with emotion, "That is the deep popularity accumulated by Mr. Zhujian for a long time, which is the most important point. important."

If the man realized something, he said: "Then, is the Uchiha clan's efforts during this period of time actually in vain? Although they have gained a good reputation, when it comes time to vote, everyone still prefers Hashirama-sama? Eh, that's not right. , Judging from the final results, Master Hashirama only won an advantage of five votes this time, and even the "Konoha Daily" used the word "narrow victory" to describe such a situation."

If Hashirama-sama's popularity is as unshakable as Sarutobi said, then the advantage should be even greater.

"This is the scary thing about the person who secretly pushed this to happen." Sarutobi said.

"... Patriarch, are you talking about Master Toikama?" The subordinate thought hard.

Even Sasuke Sasuke, who was as calm as Sarutobi, couldn't help jumping out of the crossroads on his forehead, turned around, rubbed a piece of calligraphy work that he had written before, and threw it at the head of his subordinate.

"Ouch!" The man rubbed his head with a mournful face, "Patriarch, why did you even use Chakra!"

"Is that your head? You're an elm lump!" Sarutobi said angrily, "I'm talking about Uchiha Madara!"

He was so angry that he even called himself "Old Man".

"But the Uchiha patriarch lost in the end!" The man blurted out, "Is this also called 'terrible'?"

Sarutobi rubbed his temples with a headache, and decided to turn his back and continue looking at the scenery, regardless of his subordinate's stupid appearance.

"These are the thoughts of the past," he said, "the winners and losers of a game, the winners and losers of a battle... This kind of rule may be suitable for the battlefield of ninjas, but it is definitely not suitable for new things like democracy and elections, no, It should be said that it is definitely not suitable for the field of politics.”

"..." The subordinate wisely chose not to say a word, pretending to listen attentively.

The sun was shining on the new leaves in front of me, there were already more pedestrians on the street, and the noise gradually spread.

"Perhaps some people will think that Uchiha Madara arranged this lively round, and in the end, the bamboo basket fetches water in vain. It is completely self-indulgent and self-defeating." Sarutobi suddenly talked about this idea in a somewhat mocking tone, " But if you take a longer-term view, the entire timeline is drawn from the fierce and fearsome Uchiha clan on the battlefield in the past to the present, and even follow the current situation and look to the future, you will find that if the Uchiha clan If the Bo family can stick to the strategy they have adopted since the establishment of the village, then their power and status will not only be unshakable, but will definitely go up to a higher level."

"That is to say...the hearts they have won so far are not fake, but it's just because the time is too short that they can't stand shoulder to shoulder with Mr. Hashirama?" Is it so-called 'terrible' if you are only five votes behind Hashirama-sama in the election?"

"Not only that," Sarutobi said flatly, "I'm afraid from the very beginning, what the people who arranged the layout wanted was not the seat of the first generation of Hokage, but... the next election."

"Next time?" the man asked in disbelief, "But Hashirama-sama is still so young, do they want...!"

Assassination!civil strife!Armed to seize power!

boom--

"Patriarch!" The man cried and rubbed his head again.

"I'll call you nonsense!" Yuan Fei maintained the posture of smashing things, his veins throbbing with anger, "If the person who made the arrangements is as stupid as you, why don't you go to Nanhechuan immediately!"

"..." TAT

Sarutobi sighed in frustration, and said: "The old man's guess, I'm afraid Uchiha will carry out democracy to the end..."

"..." The man hesitated for a moment, but he didn't ask what "carrying out democracy to the end" was. Are all the people in Uchiha Mana and Uchiha Izumi? The patriarch of Uchiha doesn't seem to be personally..."

Sarutobi didn't even have the energy to sigh, he couldn't bear to look directly at him, covered his face, waved his hands and said, "Forget it, forget it...whatever it is, let me see if I don't beat you to death!!"

bang bang bang-

The man covered his head and lowered his head aggrievedly.

"Who would dare to set the whole clan on fire with such great fanfare if it wasn't for the patriarch's instruction!"

Mana Uchiha dares.

At least, in the eyes of others, there is no doubt that there is only one person who jumped up and down during this period of time, dominated all affairs, caused the current embarrassing situation of the Uchiha clan, and set the whole clan on fire with great fanfare.

Uchiha Mana.

As soon as the first ray of sunlight hit the green tiles of the roof in the early morning, the bells representing the impromptu and urgent assembly of the whole clan rang through every household.

The square in the center of the clan area was gradually crowded with people. The densely packed dark blue clothes and red and white flame fans filled the eyeballs. The ninjas were equipped with ninja gear and stood in line according to the ranking set by their past military exploits.On the high platform, Uchiha's patriarch was wearing a long-lost red battle armor, with his arms folded, standing alone in the center, and his unruly long hair was flying in the air.He raised his chin slightly, his indifferent eyes swept across the audience.

He has no expression on his face, showing no joy or anger; he doesn't carry any sharp blades, but he can stab people with just peripheral vision.Under his awe, the whole family was solemn, only the hem of the clothes and the banners around the square could be heard panting in the wind.

And, the thin paper of "Konoha Daily" held in many people's hands trembled and rattled.

The photo of the first generation of Hokage seemed to distort the face in this rapid tremor.

Whoa, whoa, whoa——

The Uchiha clan leader who didn't say a word was condescending, facing all the clansmen, and there was an open space between them.From the perspective of the tribe, there are five young men on the left, and the tall ponytail on the right, slender but erect like a bamboo, is No. 1 who has always been considered below the patriarch and tied with Quanna , Uchiha Mana.

Some people even said in private that Mana has more power than Quanna.

In fact, everyone knows the five people on the left. They are also famous figures in the clan, because they are all precious warriors who opened Sharingan and lived to the end of the war. One of them is Shunichi Uchiha.

It was these five people who made a joint request in front of the patriarch's gate last night, asking for a gathering of the whole clan to raise public questions to Uchiha Mana.

Seven articles of "Uchiha Clan Regulations": Five or more clan members who have opened their eyes can raise public questions to any clan member in the clan except the clan leader.

No.70, Article [-], Paragraph [-]: If the party subject to the question is the owner of the sharingan of three-gou jade and above, he can refuse to accept the question without explaining the reason.

No.70 Article [-], Paragraph [-]: Everyone except the patriarch shall not refuse a public question raised at the assembly of the whole clan.

Article No.90: The patriarch can refuse anyone's request to hold a family assembly without explaining the reason.

Paragraph 90 of Article No.[-]: However, if the reason for requesting a family assembly involves the overall honor of the family, the patriarch must not refuse.

Article No.90, third paragraph: If the whole clan assembly is held due to the second paragraph of this article, and the whole clan finally proves that the reason does not involve the overall honor of the family, then the clan head will punish the requesting party by himself.

Putting aside these awkward rules, and directly explaining the current situation, it becomes: After the counting results of yesterday afternoon were counted, and the results were actually settled, Uchiha Shunichi and the others used Mana’s wanton behavior during this period of time. On the grounds of harming the glory of the Uchiha clan, he first asked the patriarch Uchiha Madara to hold an emergency meeting of the whole clan. According to the clan rules, Madara could not refuse.

Then, this morning, all the clansmen discovered that there was an extra copy of "Konoha Daily" at the door, and the headlines on the front page were placed upright.

Now, after the assembly of the entire clan, Junichi and other five people came out to ask for a public question to Uchiha Mana.According to the family rules, Mana must accept.

"We request, Mana-sama," Uchiha Shunichi said loudly, sarcastically emphasizing the pronunciation of "Mana-sama", "to explain the election results this time!"

He looked at Mana with undisguised malice, probably because he went back after the last regular meeting of the clan and suddenly realized that he was stupid, so he simply broke the jar and didn't bother to hide himself in front of Madara.

Only then did Mana turn sideways slowly, her gaze was removed from the patriarch who was sitting high on the platform, and lightly landed on Junyi who was opposite, before glancing over the other four people.

"Election results? Is there anything to explain," she said calmly. "What should be, is what should be. The newspapers are clearly written in black and white. Do you want me to read it to you every word?"
