Quiet, absolutely quiet, when the great elder Uchiha said these words, the whole room fell into a silence that could drive people crazy.
Even the nervous breathing of everyone could be heard clearly...
"Have the elders discussed with the daimyo?"
Qi suddenly asked.
Uchiha Clan's behavior today is too strange. It has no beginning and no end. If he suddenly found himself, the only explanation can only be Feudal Lord of Fire's side.
Even if he is a disciple of Danzo, even if he is selected by the Senju Clan to be the leader of the future fighting sect, that will be at least ten years later. Even if Uchiha wants to talk to the Senju Clan, he should talk to Third Hokage, not himself.
"That's right! That's why I'm looking for you."
Sure enough, the great elder admitted it outright, but what he said next made Qi's heart palpitate.
"Qi Jun, for the sake of being a blood successor, I would like to advise you not to believe Feudal Lord of Fire!"
"What do you mean?"
Qi felt a chill in his heart. His intuition told him that he should believe this.
"Qi Jun, what do you think caused the situation of Konoha and Senju Clan Uchiha over so many years?"
The great elder did not answer the question.
"This..."
Qi frowned,
"Isn't it because of what happened with First Hokage?"
"The two strongest Shinobi World families are in today's situation just because of the breakup of two former comrades-in-arms. Do you believe it!?"
For the first time since meeting Qi, a real angry look appeared on the Great Elder's face.
"That's just part of a long-term strategy! And the planner of the entire strategy is the previous generation Feudal Lord of Fire. Today's Feudal Lord of Fire is no different from his father in this regard!"
"Your Majesty Elder, can you tell me the details?"
Qi's breathing quickened. The great elder's attitude gave him a very bad premonition. He felt that he might have come into contact with some great truth.
This truth may even be the real reason that causes Uchiha Clan to be exterminated one night in the future.
"This matter starts with the establishment of the Prefecture Army."
The great elder took a long breath,
"Prefecture Army of Land of Fire, you must have seen it before, Mr. Qi, but what I want is that the first batch of trainers of the Prefecture Army were not the ninja families who were directly loyal to the boss at that time, but us! Uchiha!"
"What!?"
Qi was really surprised this time. The trainer of First Prefecture Army was actually Uchiha Clan!? This is simply unbelievable! If this is true, then it is very likely that at that time, the overall strength of the Uchiha Clan would be vaguely superior to the Senju Clan!
"There is nothing surprising about this, Qi Jun, Prefecture Army is no better than the Ninja Army, Five Great Nations's Prefecture Army, the combat characteristics are basically the embodiment of the five basic Chakra Nature Transformation, we Land of Fire's Prefecture Army is famous for its Fire Style fighting methods, and Uchiha Clan is the family that is the best at Fire Style in the entire Shinobi World family."
At this point, the great elder stretched out his finger, tapped the tea next to him, and then drew a spell on the floor. The whole process was like running water, which showed that he was very familiar with this spell.
"Qi Jun, come and take a look at this spell. Is it familiar to you?"
Qi said nothing, stood up, walked to the great elder, and looked at the talisman drawn with tea on the ground.
"This is... the one on those Prefecture Guard blades..."
"Yes, this is Fireburst Tag, which is improved from the charm of Explosive Tag. It was developed by the old man himself."
The great elder nodded,
"All the Fire Style charms of Land of Fire Prefecture Army were all completed by the Uchiha Clan. Those families loyal to the daimyo are only responsible for making equipment. No one can match the Fire Style charms with Uchiha, not even Senju Clan! In order for the Uchiha Clan to fully serve Prefecture Army, the boss even secretly promised to make Uchiha the most powerful family in Land of Fire!"
He said angrily,
"When the two countries in Fire Valley were at war, Senju Clan was defending in the north, but our Uchiha Clan elites came out in full force to lead Prefecture Army and Land of Valley to fight, just for this promise! Because we know that the era of a family's self-sufficiency has passed. If Uchiha wants to continue to survive, it must gain a strong position in the Ninja Village!"
"Incredible..."
After a while, Qi Cai sighed,
"In this way, Uchiha Clan back then was not what is circulated today. He lost the election of First Hokage because of lack of strength and influence."
"Of course not!"
The great elder clenched his fist fiercely,
"The clan leader back then was Uchiha Madara. He understood the importance of the first generation Hokage, so he participated in the election. At that time, Uchiha had more supporters among the jonins in the village! In the village The support rate among the people is also comparable to that of the Senju Clan, but it was at this time that the boss stabbed Uchiha hard! He sent a large number of people to help Senju Clan among the villagers!"
"Hiss..."
Qi heard a breath of cold air enter his lungs,
"This move is so cruel, it's going to drain the bottom of the cauldron!"
Konoha In all elections in the past, the votes of the villagers have been the least important and the most important. It is not important because once special circumstances arise, the villagers will be ignored and the opinions of the daimyo and jounin will be the criterion. It is important because, in general, the opinions of the villagers are what the daimyo and jounin care most about, and they often end up choosing the candidates trusted by the villagers!
The villagers represent the hearts and minds of the people. No matter what the daimyo and jounin have in mind, a Hokage who has the hearts and minds of the people will definitely be the one with the most reliable position and the best handling of internal affairs. Especially after the establishment of the Ninja Academy, this has become more and more obvious.
The daimyo once promised Uchiha, but once the villagers choose Senju Clan, then he will have sufficient reasons to also declare his support for the Senju Clan, and Uchiha cannot even find a reason to refute him...
"Yes... Boss Ming, he is so cruel..."
The great elder hoarse his throat,
"It's a pity that the more cruel ones are yet to come! Senju Clan, Uchiha, no one can escape!"
I have something to do this afternoon. I have to go out for a while. I will try to find time to code one more chapter before I go out. Otherwise, I will have to wait until the update in the evening. Thank you all for your support.
Although it was short-lived, I was still happy that I clicked number one in the week, hahahaha!
