The two sides argued fiercely, each sticking to their own opinions and refusing to back down.
"Senior Kuang, you are also someone who raises orphans, and you don't know what those scoundrels did to them? Why are you still protecting those criminals?"
Yukimichi Uchiha said angrily, while the Kyō Uchiha sitting opposite him pounded the table and said, "Please note, this is not covering up! I am simply stating a fact."
Eliminating these people would be far more detrimental than beneficial to the Uchiha Clan! It wouldn't be of much advantage to us; our priority now should be upholding the Uchiha's independence.
Wait a while! After annexing the other families, then deal with these people. It's not that we won't deal with them, but we'll deal with them slowly!
Fū Uchiha sneered, "Hesitation only leads to trouble. If we let these people continue to mingle in the clan, there are already over 1,000 people now, but what about the future? Will it grow to tens of thousands, or even the entire clan?"
If these people drag their entire families down with them to their deaths, wouldn't the whole family be wiped out? They would drag the family into the abyss!
"You're just exaggerating. This kind of thing won't happen if we just pay a little attention..."
"Why do you think this won't happen? In my opinion, this kind of thing is very easy to happen. For example, in my village, it often happens that a small group of people sway the majority."
Even a very small minority will voice their opinions to cover up the majority, but their thinking is flawed, and their flawed ideas are spreading throughout the village.
Do you know what I did in this situation? I killed them all, completely wiped them out. Once I'd cut them all down, making it clear to everyone else that this kind of thing is unacceptable, things would naturally quiet down.
This naturally angered Tatsu Uchiha and Kyō Uchiha, and they started arguing again.
After arguing for a long time without reaching a conclusion, Uchiha Takashi, who was sitting at the main table, coughed twice.
The scene fell silent instantly, and everyone turned their attention to Uchiha Takashi.
They argued back and forth here, saying that their ultimate goal was nothing more than to persuade Uchiha Takashi.
The current supreme ruler of the country is Uchiha Takashi, and the supreme leader of the clan is also Uchiha Takashi. All power and all affairs are in the hands of Uchiha Takashi.
The final outcome is entirely up to Uchiha Takashi; even if they argue fiercely, the final decision rests with Uchiha Takashi.
Therefore, the moment Uchiha Takashi spoke, everyone fell silent, waiting to see which side Uchiha Takashi would choose to side with.
Uchiha Takashi glanced at it twice, then said, "Regarding this issue, you all have your own considerations."
Which is more important: the individuality of the Uchiha or the correctness of the Uchiha Clan? To answer this, we must clarify the primary and secondary contradictions.
We must prioritize resolving the principal contradiction before addressing the secondary contradictions; we must never allow secondary contradictions to precede the principal contradiction.
To be frank, our main problem right now is about this prevailing trend.
Dear elders, perhaps you don't understand yet, but I want to say that no matter what, the most important thing in a family is its atmosphere. We must ensure that the atmosphere in our family flows in a positive direction.
It's important to make everyone understand that contributing to the clan is an honorable thing, but that doesn't give them a reason to bully or insult other clan members, or even look down on others.
So my meaning is very clear... These people must be punished, severely punished, and the bad influence they have spread must be completely eradicated from the Uchiha Clan!
Uchiha Takashi's ideas were primarily based on the idea that education comes first; in his view, one should never be poor in education, no matter what.
Whether a clan can go far depends largely on whether its education keeps up. The Uchiha's eventual demise was also due to its inadequate education.
Throughout its history, the Uchiha's education has been limited to cultivating strength, neglecting the development of moral character and values.
This makes it easy for the Uchiha to go to extremes, and the things they do are also very extreme.
Typical examples are Madara Uchiha and Obito Uchiha, and the family's atmosphere is extremely important for instilling values and moral character in children.
Or, to put it another way, the most important aspect of values education is the social atmosphere. What kind of social atmosphere is it? The values you naturally form will be influenced by what you see and hear in your daily life.
After all, school doesn't start until age four, and before that, values education comes entirely from children's own observations of society.
Therefore, family values and traditions are inherently linked to the formation of one's worldview.
Uchiha Takashi's words set the tone for the argument, and his statements clearly sided with Uchiha Takashi Yukimichi Uchiha Fū Uchiha.
Perhaps because all three are young, they are more committed to the Uchiha's identity and honor, and are more daring than Uchiha Tatsu Uchiha.
Seeing Uchiha Takashi Ten's already made up his mind, Dai Uchiha shrugged. "Since you've already spoken, Clan Chief, and what you said makes perfect sense, then let's do as you say."
The Dai Uchiha code ran, assessing strength... his strength was Mangekyō Sharingan... stronger than me... the strongest in the clan... what he said makes sense!
Although Dai Uchiha is a fickle opportunist who only follows the strong, sometimes people like him who only know how to code can be quite useful.
With Dai Uchiha siding with the other side, Tatsu Uchiha and Kyō Uchiha didn't insist any further.
"Since the clan leader has made his decision, then... we have no choice but to accept it. Let's do as you say and get rid of all these people."
Uchiha Takashi frowned and said, "Why do you all look like this? Wait, you don't actually think 'cleaning up' means killing people, do you?"
Please, people are a scarce resource. We Uchiha are already so short of people, why would we want to kill them all?
"Fū Uchiha, if I remember correctly, aren't your mines short-staffed?"
Fū Uchiha immediately understood Uchiha Takashi's meaning and nodded, saying, "We are indeed short-staffed; we are preparing to expand production."
Uchiha Takashi: "In that case, these people are yours. Expel them from the Uchiha Clan and throw them into the mines to fend for themselves."
As for their families, those who dare to cause trouble, throw them all over there. The Uchiha doesn't need such scum. In this chaotic situation, only a swift and decisive action can resolve the mess.
A blanket approach is far better than a thorough investigation. We can examine them more carefully after they've passed through, and then educate and correct those who were merely coerced. But for now, let's just get them through the cracks.
