The survival of the clan is at stake.
And the revenge boost you can get later.
These are the two parallel reasons why Shōji chose 'Kumogakure' and 'Iwagakure' in the previous separation plan, which was recognized by the vast majority of Uchiha people. How deep the love is, how deep the hatred is, and Uchiha Clan The blood feud between and Konoha High Command cannot fade away or even subside over time. It will only be passed down from generation to generation until Uchiha Clan completes his revenge goal or the family is wiped out in the long river of history.
At this point, Shōji is very clear, and so are Fugaku and Elder Sōgen, including Shisui. They all made corresponding preparations a long time ago, but what Shisui didn't expect was that the clan had just settled down and would raise the issue of revenge?
This made Shisui feel somewhat uncomfortable.
It's not that Shisui will have other strange thoughts, but Konoha, Will of Fire, and the most important point is that his grandfather-Kagami Uchiha has had such a profound influence on Shisui that this Uchiha Clan genius still retains some nostalgia deep in his heart.
It's not that he didn't expect the future to unfold before, but Shisui was a bit self-deceptive in it. In addition, he always thought that this would be something that would be discussed 'a long time later'. Shisui just wanted to 'pull' it off as long as possible!
But on this occasion, at this juncture, it was difficult for Shisui to say anything. Regardless of his identity or position, no matter what he said, it seemed that it was just wrong. The tangled heart was perfectly displayed on his face at this moment.
Fugaku, who was in the first position above, also frowned slightly, and all the changes in the expressions of these two people fell into Shōji's eyes. When the patriarch of the family considered his words for a moment, he was about to answer.
"Ahem!"
Shōji coughed twice and said directly, "Now is not the time!"
It immediately attracted the attention of the tribe.
Shōji paused for a moment and then continued, "The clan needs a running-in period and a period of real peace. During this period of retreat, our families have suffered too much suffering and excitement. They now need to rest quietly for a while. I know that the fire of hatred deep in your hearts has been ignited, but for the sake of our family, I hope you can be patient a little longer and spend more time with our family so that they can feel at ease as much as possible."
"This is also our unshirkable responsibility. We are not a lonely individual, but a group of families. Don't let hatred blind us. And the most important point is that with the current strength of our family, it is difficult to overthrow Konoha, let alone revenge!"
"Recuperation and recuperation is the top priority that our family needs to do in the next period of time, and I hope that you can completely abandon your previous subjective prejudices and bear in mind our current second identity-Iwagakure Ninja! Konoha is our revenge target, and he is also the target that the whole village wants to pursue and overthrow. The interests and interests are the same. Lord Tsuchikage has also promised before that if the opportunity arises, our village will never let it go."
"What is needed now is just a little patience, not only for our consideration, but also for the overall interests of the entire village. If others respect us, we must also respect others. The kindness of Lord Tsuchikage and the village in accepting our clan is what we Uchiha Clan must bear in mind! We should be clear about grudges, repay grudges directly, and repay kindness with kindness. This is what we are proud of as Uchiha Clan!"
"And I can guarantee that it could be as fast as three to five years, or as long as ten years! Our family will definitely be able to get the justice that belongs to us!"
Don't wait for the tribesmen below to express their opinions.
Shōji's bright eyes scanned all the clansmen below. The words he said in one breath also made the clansmen below startled for a moment before each of them fell into deep thought.
Fugaku, Elder Genran, and Elder Sōgen all looked at Shōji at this moment, with a ray of beautiful joy in their pupils. Solace, especially Fugaku, as early as the beginning of the separation plan, Fugaku had the intention to entrust the position of the head of the clan to Shōji.
But it was obviously not a suitable opportunity at that time. Although age is indeed an issue, under the general trend, it is all small details. Now, when I see Shōji, I can still maintain a rational and calm mind when looking at everything.
The thought in Fugaku's heart became more and more determined. During this period of time, there were still a little more chores. When everything really settled down, Fugaku would definitely put forward this motion, not only because of Shōji's excellence, but also because of his own disqualification!
As the head of the clan, he Uchiha Fugaku obviously does not have the ability and qualifications to be the leader. Now he can find an outstanding successor. Fugaku is full of joy in his heart. The only remaining three people in Eight Great Elders, Sōgen, Chie, and Genran, have similar thoughts to Fugaku. However, the three old people are still a little more conservative, and Fugaku is also the clan member they originally identified and selected, and considering the age of Shōji.
The three elders still tend to wait until Shōji truly reaches adulthood, that is, after turning 20 years old, before considering taking over as the leader of the clan.
Shisui also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart at this moment. You can say that Shisui is a self-contradictory, self-hypnotic and self-deceptive existence, but this is also the core part of Shisui's character.
If he could so easily give up everything he had accepted in the past and treat Konoha and his former companions indifferently and cruelly, then Shōji would be wary of and wary of Shisui!
It was precisely because Shōji saw through this part of Shisui's character that he chose to believe in Shisui before. The same is true now. Of course he will not force Shisui to do anything, but it is also impossible to doubt Shisui's heart.
Shisui Uchiha is such a pure person.
The tribesmen were obviously touched by Shōji's words, and the quiet and cold atmosphere fell after a few minutes of silence.
"Shōji, we believe in you!"
When someone speaks.
"We believe you will bring us back the justice of our family!"
"Shōji! This is what you said!"
What followed were words spoken one after another, although they all sounded hard and vicious.
But Shōji, who is most familiar with each other's clan members' personalities, also showed a soft smile at this moment, nodded firmly and said, "Ah, this is my promise!"
Dusk.
The afterglow of the setting sun pouring down.
Reflected on the departing tribesmen, the shadows are lengthened.
The family arrived at Iwagakure around 10 o'clock in the morning.
Post-arrangement, as well as the return of Shōji and Fugaku from visiting Ōnoki, followed by a high-level meeting of the clan.
When this series of affairs is all over.
Night is coming too.
Shōji stepped out from the Fugaku main house and looked at the last ray of sunset that was about to set not far away.
It's been half a month.
Shōji's tense heartstrings finally relaxed a lot.
