Konoha Nanga Shrine.
Wearing a gray clan uniform, Uchiha walked slowly into the secret assembly hall, and after finding his place to sit down, he casually glanced all around.
Different from the exuberant atmosphere of the past rallies, today's clansman seems to have lost the mainstay, all slumped.
Uchiha Guang sighed, the last time this happened, it dates back to when Uchiha Madara left the village.
After 30 years, didn't expect Uchiha Clan to be the same as it was then, like a erratic candle, no improvement.
After regaining his gaze, he was about to close Soul Nurturing, but lightly exclaimed came next to him.
"Fourth Elder, why are you here?"
Uchiha turned around and saw a square-faced Elderly, his eyes widened in surprise, facing this side from behind Come over.
"I still want to ask you, I asked you for a drink the day before yesterday. You didn't say that you want to lead a team to investigate the cause of Clan Leader's death. Why are you back now?"
"Ai, also Didn't you receive a secret letter from Great Elder and called me back?" Sixth Elder Uchiha gave a dry cough, and asked in a low voice, "By the way, what's the situation within clan now? Why did the rally suddenly be held?"
"Oh, I don't know, it was made by Great Elder and Uchiha Samui..." Then, Uchiha glanced back at the crowded hall, and suddenly said meaningfully, "Perhaps Election of a new Clan Leader."
In this rally, all the seven Elders from within clan have arrived. Although they are all elderly people with half of their bodies in the soil, their influence is still there. The assembly must be announced as a major event.
In addition to this threshold, the death of Clan Leader and Young Clan Leader one after another, the group of dragons within clan has no leader, and quickly determining the successor must be the most important thing at present.
In contrast, investigating the cause of Clan Leader's death is not such an urgent matter.
This must be said to be a great irony, but this is the reality that can't be more straightforward. When people go to the cold, the living is always more important than the dead.
Thinking of this, Uchiha couldn't help but recall the rumors that had flooded the village two days ago. Although he was quickly overwhelmed by Third Hokage, at such a sensitive moment, it will inevitably cause people's feelings to float.
How to solve it? Only to quickly determine the Clan Leader candidate.
"Speak carefully." After sitting next to him, Sixth Elder Uchiha, who has a little thinning hair, lowered his voice.
Although he has not been in the village for the past two days, he still knows that the troubles in the village have moved him.
So, the more this is the time, the more you have to be cautious.
"What are you afraid of, we are all dying. Today is such a big clan meeting, but I didn't go to Daimyo's house to invite Tatsumi back. What is it for? Obviously abnormal!"
p>
Uchiha's name was startled, "You mean...Great Elder wants to bypass Tatsumi, now we must determine the Clan Leader candidate?"
Uchiha Hikari said with a sneer:" It's not impossible. When Fugaku died, I proposed Tatsumi as Young Clan Leader. It's just that Clan Leader only wanted revenge at the time. This incident was not settled in the end.
Now , Clan Leader is also dead, Great Elder suddenly called clansman, it's hard not to make people think about it."
"...It's really hard to say," Fowns thought for a moment, Uchiha's name was finally shake one's head, "It's better to watch what Great Elder says for a while."
"That's what I said," Uchiha light laughed, "I'm always impossible when the meeting starts, and I will cover what we are going to discuss today. Don't talk about it."
With the ebbing of time, all the attendees were basically there. In the dim hall, Great Elder Uchiha Yun waved his hand to signal the start of the rally.
The controller of this rally is Uchiha Samui. As the number one henchman of the dead Clan Leader and Vice-Captain of the Security Force, he does have this prestige.
When I saw him walking to the stone tablet, the whispering voices in the basement gradually stopped, and many people showed serious expressions on their faces.
"This year, our Uchiha Clan has suffered severe blows one after another. Clan Leader and Young Clan Leader passed away. I am deeply saddened!"
Speaking, Uchiha Samui gently He wiped the wet corners of his eyes and continued: "I also know that everyone is in the same mood, but Uchiha cannot be without Clan Leader for a day. The reason for holding this rally is to give everyone a clear idea about the choice of Clan Leader. Reply."
"Since this matter is of great importance, we hope that we will keep the content of the discussion at the meeting strictly confidential."
When Uchiha Samui tone barely fell, in the originally quiet Conference Hall, suddenly noisy sounds sounded.
Exchanging surprised eyes with the person sitting next to them, many people saw surprised expressions on each other's faces.
Clan Leader election? !
Although many people sitting here have imagined various topics that might be discussed today, most of them did not expect it to be this.
Too unexpected.
Because the most important person is not there.
Be aware that Uchiha Tatsumi, as the hero of Second Shinobi World War, was 11 years old and shocked Ninja World.
This is the kind of person who is famous for his military achievements.
With this set of halo, his reputation in Uchiha Clan is almost unmatched.
So, even if you don't say it, most Uchiha ninja regard him as the Savior of Uchiha Clan, and hope to lead clansman to glory again.
Its influence can be imagined...
Of course, this situation is also caused by many reasons, the village's ruthless suppression...lack of the ninja with superior strength...Second Shinobi World A series of failures since the War...
Uchiha Clan desires a hero too much.
Uchiha Tatsumi appeared in the sky, and with rays of light enough to eclipse the younger generation of Konoha, then who can pin his hopes on him instead of him?
But with such a existence, I didn't attend this meeting. It's like selecting Fourth Hokage, Sannin didn't show up. Isn't it ridiculous?
The entire underground space was suddenly overwhelmed by the quarrel between Tatsumi's supporters and opponents.
["Uchiha Tatsumi did not come. I seriously suspect that there is shady."]
["Shady shit, he is too young, how strong is his strength, Clan Leader Can a fourteen years old youngster come?"]
["Fart, he will be 15 years old after the new year. First Hokage is also 15 years old and will become the head of Senju Clan, Madara Ten 6 years old in charge of clan, is there a problem?"]
["Uchiha Tatsumi matches those two?!"]
["Why don't you deserve it? See me Come, Tatsumi's current strength, completely amazingly beat Madara and First-Kage of the same age..."]
["Amazingly beat...You can really say it, why don't you say it every second) Where is the second air?"]
["I'm telling the truth, haven't you heard Third Hokage tell me, Tatsumi is Uchiha Clan's most outstanding ninja, second only to his existence..." ]
(Third Hokage: "??")
["You Tatsumi blow, I've seen you upset for a long time, come out?"]
["Come on, I'm afraid you won't make it!"]
...
...
The looked clansman quarrel is getting more and more serious, and it will happen With the inclination of martial arts, Uchiha Samui, who was standing on the stage, cleared his throat and said in a serious voice.
"...all quiet! I think everyone has heard the rumors in the village. As the saying goes, without wind there cannot be waves, Tatsumi is suspected of killing Clan Leader, so it is not included in this election Within the scope."
As soon as he said this, the entire underground space, totally absolute silence.
After a while, Uchiha in the crowd said with a sneer: "There were still rumors that the mirror was killed by Uchiha Mountain. He was not the same or became the Clan Leader?"
"Is this the same thing?"
"Why is it not the same thing?" Uchiha Hikari stood up, coldly said, "This kind of rumors are either stupid or bad. Or both, the purpose is nothing more than to disrupt our Uchiha Clan.
Now it's troubled times, we must unite and don't trust our clansman, should we believe those who only dare to speak secretly? Rats?
What do you think of Vice-Captain?"
"...Okay, don't talk about it."
Just then , Great Elder Uchiha interrupted their quarrel.
"Tatsumi, let me explain here. The reason why he didn't come was not because I suspected him or because I didn't notify him, but because he had a mission.
Everyone knows that he is the guardian of Shinobu now, but it's not all that. I also just learned from Third Hokage...He is also the Anbu Squad Leader now, in charge of the entire Land-of-Water information work, so I can't get back. "
Uchiha's words are like an Explosive Tag falling into the deep water, agitating for a moment.
Uchiha Clan has always wanted to infiltrate Anbu and extend the tentacles of power from the security team, but it has not improved until now.
Now an Anbu Squad Leader suddenly appeared, let everyone not be surprised.
The star of hope of truly worthy of Uchiha Clan!
Uchiha Samui's face is a bit ugly.
He was willing to hold this rally because Danzo's promise was obtained in the village, and within clan was recognized by Great Elder Uchiha.
In addition, some of the younger brothers he has cultivated secretly over the years are waving the flag to cheer... Clan Leader's position is almost guaranteed.
When Uchiha Tatsumi returns from Daimyo's house, the raw rice is already cooked, can he openly object to it?
But now I listen to Uchiha Hikari's meaning...it seems to be turning back temporarily?
This old yin bgo back on one's word, isn't it cheating me? !
"Vote, support Tatsumi's hands up."
The platform with Great Elder Uchiha Hikari, four of the seven Elders express their support, plus Uchiha Hikari himself, for a total of Five people.
Uchiha Samui is really ignorant.
Danzo also said before that his time has come, and it has fallen before it even begins?
"Okay, everyone saw it as a result. I announced that the next Clan Leader will be Uchiha Tatsumi..."
The Great Elder hasn't finished speaking, suddenly at the gate Being pushed away, a silhouette rushed in.
"What's the matter?"
The guard gasping for breath as if he had seen a ghost: "Young Clan Leader...Young Clan Leader Fugaku...He's back."
"..."
