"Don't worry, Fugaku, I will definitely take this group of clan members away safely, even if I, an old guy like me, are involved!"
Uchiha Sōgen patted his chest hard. Although he was a little dissatisfied that he did not get the lottery to stay and cut off, the evacuation of the clan was also very important. Unlike Shisui who still had the last hope and recognition for the village, these elderly Few people in the Uchiha tribe really feel any closeness to Konoha, especially Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzō and others. In the eyes of radical elders like Uchiha Sōgen, they are the most abhorrent and disgusting representatives.
They Uchiha don't think that their evacuation plan will be smooth sailing. It is normal for them to be chased by Anbu and Root personnel on the way. This is why at least half of the force of Clan Meeting must be allocated to protect the tribesmen who retreated early, and Shisui should be the leader of the protection.
Only in this way can the minimum level of security be ensured.
"The clan still needs the guidance of Elder Sōgen. You can't say such words so easily!"
Among ordinary clan members, Fugaku is a stern representative of the clan leader, but in front of these elders, Fugaku never loses his respect. To put it bluntly, the youngest among these elders is older than Fugaku is 20 years older, just because he watched Fugaku grow up. Six or seven years ago, Fugaku was able to become the leader of the clan, and it was only because of the recognition and assistance of these elders and seniors.
Publicly and privately, Fugaku respected these elders from the bottom of his heart. If he didn't know in his heart that it would be difficult to persuade these elders, Fugaku hoped that all Eight Great Elders would leave the village in the first and second batches.
They shouldn't have risked death by staying.
"Haha! You kid!"
Elder Sōgen also laughed, shook his head and said.
"Chief, your words are also what I want to say. What Uchiha Clan needs is a tribesman who can continue to lead the tribe forward in the future, not a so-called hero to be used to pay tribute. The future of the tribe is still very difficult and far away. The most important thing is to survive and bear this responsibility. This is not for yourself, but for the tribe!"
But also at this moment.
Shōji, who had been silent before, suddenly spoke at this moment. Three days ago, Shōji might not have felt anything, but in the past two days, Shōji felt more and more that Fugaku's mentality seemed to have changed.
It's not that Fugaku wants to die.
After all, we haven't reached that point yet.
But Shōji is always worried that the patriarch of his family will choose a more radical and exaggerated option when there is clearly hope.
It is only slightly better for a clan to break away from Konoha than to choose a coup.
The future prospects are still not very bright, because the next step is for the clan to bear the burden of everything. To put it bluntly, the life and death of other adult clan members may not be that important. The survival of Shōji himself, Shisui, and Fugaku is the key to whether Uchiha Clan can stand on Shinobi World in the future.
Mangekyō Sharingan is such a terrible thing.
"!!"
Shōji These words suddenly disrupted the rhythm.
Fugaku was also stunned for a moment. When his expression that seemed to have changed slightly was reflected in the eyes of Elder Sōgen opposite him, the eyes of the oldest elder also became very sharp.
Fugaku faced the two people's different eyes, shook his head with a calm expression and said, "Shōji, in your opinion, am I such a careless clan leader? Don't worry, I will make the most correct choice even for Itachi and Sasuke!"
Look at this Fugaku.
Shōji frowned slightly. Calm people are often the most terrifying because you can't see what they are thinking in their hearts. However, what they said is correct. Mikoto Uchiha and Itachi are still there, and Sasuke is still in his infancy.
Considering the current situation of the clan, there is really no reason for the patriarch of his family to choose to die. Moreover, the word "die" is very strange. It is difficult for Shōji himself to explain it, but there is a strong sense of disobedience deep in his heart.
"Fugaku boy, no matter what you think, you are the patriarch recognized by us old guys. No matter what choice you make next, as long as it is in line with your capacity and identity, I will not pursue anything. Just remember this!"
Just when Shōji was about to say something, Sōgen stepped forward, blocked Shōji's words, looked at Fugaku with a solemn look and said, from then on. Uchiha Sōgen who has passed this era is even a few years older than Sarutobi Hiruzen and others. The style of doing things formed by everything he experienced in his early years will not change in any way even in old age.
Especially now that he is taking off his elder's regular clothes and going into battle again, the old man's power of galloping on the battlefield seems to have returned again.
Looking at such clan elders and hearing such words.
Fugaku's expression finally became extremely solemn. After taking a deep breath, he raised his chin and said in response, "Yes, please don't worry!"
"Very good!"
Uchiha Sōgen nodded with satisfaction.
"Let's go! Boy, it's our mission next!"
Followed by.
Sōgen patted Shōji on the shoulder.
"Fugaku is the patriarch of our Uchiha Clan after all"
It was as if he could see through Shōji's heart in advance, those words he spoke in a low voice.
Shōji nodded simultaneously after being startled.
"Yes! Elder Sōgen!"
After answering.
"Whoosh"
"Whoosh!"
After Shōji took a deep look at Uchiha Fugaku, he followed behind Sōgen. The two of them jumped away one after another, and beside them, there was the second group of evacuated tribesmen spreading out.
After Fugaku finally watched Sōgen and Shōji go away, a look of perseverance appeared on his face, and then he strode back to his station. As long as this group of people left, there would be only two to three hundred adult clan members left in the clan, and none of these people were under the age of 20.
It can even be said that if it were not for the need for combat power.
Fugaku all want to arrange for all clan members under 30 years old to leave in advance, because these talents are the hope of the future of the clan.
The evacuation of this second group of tribesmen was obviously difficult to conceal.
The most optimistic prediction is that it is a small-probability event after all, with a large number of people. And after eliminating these people, even if some tribesmen are still deliberately covering up, the loopholes exposed are still too big.
It was only less than three hours before the leading members of the second batch of personnel left the giant city wall of Konoha.
The surveillance personnel Anbu and Root in the surrounding positions smelled a strange smell.
Send personnel immediately to report to Third and Shimura Danzō!
