Ever since the night of the Nine-Tails Rebellion, this has almost become a regular 'performance' in the secret meeting of the high-level Uchiha clan. Listening to the angry words of these people below, there is no constructive suggestion at all.
When heard.
Fugaku took a deep breath.
"alright!"
Those low-pitched words were filled with a sense of solemnity and coldness.
When the clan members below were shocked, the atmosphere in the secret meeting suddenly became silent.
"If it doesn't make sense, don't say more. The most important thing now is how our clan will respond to the village's recruitment order. There is no need to say yes, but rejection requires a reasonable reason. We, the Uchiha clan, are also in Konoha.
As a member of the Communist Party of China, even if we encounter certain difficulties now, this will not change. We cannot take the initiative to put suspicion on ourselves again!"
Fugaku glanced over the faces of the tribesmen below with a stern expression, and then said slowly.
"Elders, what do you think of this recruitment order? This is a major matter involving the clan. I hope that all the elders can give their own opinions."
There is no way to really make the decision alone.
Then gather the wisdom of the group.
In Fugaku's view, whether he agrees or refuses, there are pros and cons for the Uchiha clan. On this basis, Fugaku hopes to see the clan reach a consensus together to make corresponding decisions.
Decision, at this point, the opinions of the eight elders are crucial.
Fugaku also needs help from those eight respected elders in terms of experience and prestige.
Uchiha Genlan, Uchiha Chie, Uchiha Takayuki and other elders each looked at each other, but no one said anything immediately.
It happens to be during this gap time.
"Master Patriarch, I have some immature suggestions. I wonder if I can give you some time to elaborate on the next point!"
On the bottom left side.
The general estimated that the time was about the same.
On the side, Shisui stood up with an expression that suddenly changed from worry to surprise, and looked at Uchiha Fugaku in the upper position and said this.
He spoke suddenly in the silence.
Moreover, he is a ‘new clan member’ who has just been qualified to join the clan association for a little over half a year.
It can be said that the moment the general stood up, he immediately attracted the attention of the forty or fifty tribesmen present. Fugaku was slightly stunned at this moment. The elder Uchiha Xuanlan sitting on the left also had a surprised look.
Look at the general.
"Is it Mr. General? This is a gathering of the clan to discuss important matters within the clan. As long as you are from my clan, you are naturally qualified to speak. If you have any opinions, you can put them forward!"
As the leader of a clan, although it is impossible for Fugaku to remember the names of thousands of people in the clan, it is still 100% possible to remember the names and faces of members of the clan who have a chuunin level or above, especially Shoji.
This kind of person can be regarded as a genius in the clan. Recently, he has opened his Sharingan to the three magatama level, and has firmly stepped into the jounin level.
It is impossible for Uchiha Fugaku not to remember.
Although this clan meeting.
Fugaku originally only expected the opinions of the eight elders, and just ignored the previous speeches made by the tribesmen to vent their anger, but now seeing Shoji's calm and calm posture, Fugaku rarely felt a trace of expectation deep in his heart.
The intention comes.
"Yes, Mr. Patriarch!"
After the Shoji bowed slightly to show respect, he raised his eyes again and glanced over the faces of the clansmen in front of him one by one. He said with a very solemn expression: "I think our Uchiha clan should respond to the wishes of the village."
In response to the call, some members of the clan were dispatched to the front line to fight against the Cloud Ninjas. This is not only for the sake of the village, but also for the future consideration of our clan!"
Let's get straight to the point, this is my personal opinion.
Jiang Si has no intention of dragging his feet.
But when Jiang Si finished speaking.
"What!?"
"For the clan!? Shoji-kun! You have to think carefully about your words!?"
"Hmph! General Si-kun, young people are ignorant, so they should talk less and listen more to the opinions of their seniors! You simply don't understand the current situation of the clan!"
"That's right, General! You can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense!"
The atmosphere that had been calm before suddenly became noisy and boiling.
Among the forty or fifty tribesmen present, almost half looked at the general with sneers, and those with the most explosive tempers even started taunting him directly.
In their view.
This is completely irresponsible and ignorant of the importance of the statement.
That’s why I said that today’s young people have no idea what the overall situation is!
What kind of situation are the Uchiha clan forced into by the village now? Do they still have to serve the village!?
Stop joking!
Faced with the ridicule of these tribesmen.
The general's expression did not change.
"General..."
The face of Shisui on the side also showed a hint of worry.
In the first position above.
The eight Uchiha elders all looked at the general with a strange expression, and Elder Xuanlan was the main one, as if they wanted to look at the general again.
"quiet!"
Fugaku took a deep look at the general and then spoke in a deep voice.
It also brought an abrupt end to the accusations below.
"Jiang Si-kun, you should know that you are responsible for your speech at the clan meeting, right?"
"Yes, Mr. Patriarch!"
"Then, let's talk about the reason why you think so! You not only have to convince me, but also the tribesmen here. As a member of Uchiha, what you say must be in line with your own
identity!"
"yes!"
Shoji turned sideways and looked at Uchiha Fugaku above him with piercing eyes. After bowing again in response, he straightened his body again.
It seemed like there was a special aura permeating from his body.
"Everyone knows that our clan is currently in a position of being questioned by the whole village, with the Hokage's distrust and the suspicion of other companions. In such a situation, any wrong step on our part will bring extremely bad consequences.
Konoha is the Konoha established by Uchiha, but Uchiha is also the Uchiha of Konoha. I hope you guys can realize this and don't separate the two. What we need to do now is to win over the majority of people.
Support and trust instead of just venting your emotions!"
The general said calmly.
However, these words only made the sarcasm on the faces of those tribesmen become even more intense.
"But, have you considered that this is likely to be another suppression of our clan! Shoji-kun."
On the right side of the top position.
Chie Uchiha, the elder of the fourth branch of the Uchiha clan, looked at Shoji indifferently and asked in a very stern tone at this moment.
