However, whether it's private or business, discussing matters at the door is impolite. Uchiha Takashi immediately stepped aside, making way for them to come in and talk.
After everyone was seated, Uchiha Takashi finally spoke, "So what private matter could possibly have prompted you seniors and even you, Feng, to come all this way to see me?"
Upon hearing this, Fū Uchiha revealed a squinting smile, "Clan leader, what do you say? You asked your assistant for it in your office today..."
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Takashi felt a surge of heat rush to his head, and his face immediately flushed. "Wh... what?"
The thing they need in the office, isn't that it? How did you know?
Seeing Uchiha Takashi's face turn bright red, Fū Uchiha coughed twice and continued, "Hey, clan leader, there's no need to be shy. This kind of thing is normal. After all, you're getting on in years, right?"
Uchiha Takashi knelt down on the ground with a thud. His dignity, his authority, the dignity he had painstakingly maintained as the clan head—all of it collapsed in an instant! Gone!
Right now, in their eyes, he's probably just like Kakashi Hatake, secretly passionate guy. Indeed... it would be better if this world were destroyed.
The group frowned, somewhat puzzled, as they looked at Uchiha Takashi with an air of utter despair, as if the world had already been destroyed.
Tatsu Uchiha said, "We've come here to discuss this matter. Clan head, as the head of a clan and the ruler of our Land of Light, your marriage should be on the agenda."
Uchiha Takashi sat up abruptly. "What the hell? Pressuring me to get married? I said I was talking about personal matters! Turns out it's about pressuring me to get married!"
Kyō Uchiha nodded. "That's right, clan leader. You've reached the age where you should be thinking about marriage. Before, you could be considered too young."
But things are different now. As the ruler of a country, how can he not be married? Now that he's reached a certain age, it's time to start thinking about it.
"I think we don't need to consider it. Waiting a little longer isn't out of the question," Uchiha Takashi refused without even thinking. Yes, he wanted to appreciate the contents of the book, but that didn't mean he wanted to put them into practice.
He's only 14. What kind of practice could he possibly be doing at that age? He's not that repressed, is he? Besides, his strong moral values from his previous life make it hard for him to accept doing something like this before he's 18.
Perhaps he's too traditional; he believes that one must be an adult and married before engaging in that kind of activity.
Although he had transmigrated to ancient times and was already quite old, things had become ingrained in him, and he didn't want to change. He was only 14 years old and didn't want to talk about these things yet.
"Clan leader! How can you do this? As the ruler of a nation, your marriage is a matter of national importance! How can you treat it as a trivial matter?" Tatsu Uchiha slammed his fist on the table.
Kyō Uchiha in, "That's right, clan leader. He's been in this position for four years and hasn't gotten married yet. It's easy for people to gossip."
Moreover, if you get married, the nation's lineage will be more stable! And the excellent Mangekyō Sharingan genes can be passed down; who knows, maybe in a few years, we'll produce another Mangekyō Sharingan."
Kyō Uchiha continued speaking, he turned the microphone towards Fū Uchiha: "Clan head, look at Kaze, I heard he wasn't interested in girls, but he still got married."
You're 22 now, and there's still no sign of a child. That makes it even more important for you to start encouraging it!
Fū Uchiha's lips twitched violently upon hearing this. Although he knew he was here to be used as a teaching example, how come he was both the positive and negative example?
Kyō Uchiha: It's just a forehand and backhand tutorial, it's normal, don't worry about it so much.
Uchiha Takashi: "... But he also got married when he was 18. Can't I wait until I'm 18 to talk about it? Isn't it too early to talk about this now?"
"18 is too late! Whether you agree or not, you have to choose now!" Tatsu Uchiha slammed his hand on the table, simultaneously unleashing a pile of portraits.
"These are all prepared by us. Pick one that catches your eye, or if you're willing, you can take them all," Tatsu Uchiha, arms crossed, adopting a stance that suggested he would keep making a scene if the other party disagreed.
Uchiha Takashi's lips twitched. He felt he needed to assert his authority as the clan head, so he puffed out his chest and said, "Enough! I am the clan head! I decide my own marriage!"
I don't have that idea right now. At worst, I'll just pass the position to someone else later. You can't force things. And you know we Uchiha are all about sentiment; I won't do anything without feeling!
Tatsu Uchiha and Kyō Uchiha they were practically spitting fire. Fū Uchiha, standing to the side, didn't say anything. After all, he had only been forcibly brought along as a teaching material. As for not getting married, he actually understood Uchiha Takashi quite well.
However, he didn't have much say, so he could only watch Tatsu Uchiha and Kyō Uchiha argue with Uchiha Takashi, occasionally exchanging a few words with Tsukina Fujiwara.
Just as the two sides were arguing fiercely, a heavy thud came from outside the door, and the scene fell silent as everyone looked towards the door.
Uchiha Hikari stood there, stunned, still holding the scroll in his arms, but the scroll had fallen to the ground and scattered.
Taking this opportunity, Uchiha Takashi said to everyone, "Alas, I have already prepared a successor. I think Hikaru is quite good, with his Mangekyō Sharingan and abilities."
So please stop pressuring me about these things; you can't force feelings.
Tatsu Uchiha and Kyō Uchiha were about to say something more when Tsukina Fujiwara suddenly leaned close to Fū Uchiha and whispered something in his ear. Fū Uchiha's expression immediately changed.
Immediately, Fū Uchiha leaned close to Tatsu Uchiha and Kyō Uchiha and whispered a few words in their ears. The two seniors, whose expressions were originally rather unpleasant, immediately changed their expressions after hearing these words.
Looking at Uchiha Takashi's expression, it was no longer the look of disappointment and frustration, but rather one of understanding.
Uchiha Takashi Uchiha Takashi sensed that the two seniors were looking at him strangely, and he was completely baffled.
Fū Uchiha shook his head, then stood up and walked out. Tatsu Uchiha and Kyō Uchiha followed him out, each of them patting Uchiha Takashi on the shoulder as they left.
Even as he left, Fū Uchiha gave a thumbs-up and muttered, "As expected of the clan leader, he's truly extraordinary. I admire him! He's better than me in every aspect."
The four then left the house, leaving Uchiha Takashi alone in the room, completely bewildered and unable to understand what had happened.
In that final glance back, Uchiha Takashi seemed to sense something, and he didn't give in!
