Chapter 3 Raising soldiers for thousands of days and using soldiers for a while comes with tears!
"Who is it?" A vigilant voice came from behind the door.
The voice was a bit old, with a hint of iron blood.
He is Uchiha Setsuna's butler and part-time bodyguard.
Qianye lowered his voice and replied briefly and forcefully: "I am Uchiha Qianye. I have something important to ask to see the elder."
‘Uchiha Senya’
The housekeeper behind the door searched around in his mind and finally settled on a tribesman with outstanding appearance.
'Er magatama, outstanding appearance, average family background, average strength, advocating peace.'
The combination of these five words allowed the steward to make a decision:
"The elder has been working hard for the family these days and has gone to bed. Let's do it another day."
"The family has reached the edge of life and death. I hold crucial information in my hand, which is related to the life and death of the family!
In addition, I have been monitored by the ANBU of Konoha, and I will be 'suicided' like Uchiha Shisui in two days.
Please ask the adults behind the door to help inform the elders, and it is up to the elders to judge whether they see you or not."
Qianye spoke very fast and enunciated the words very clearly.
Hidden under the clarity are tensions and fears that are difficult for ordinary people to detect.
Tips brought by LV2 ventriloquism.
It works well in this dark environment.
Create a sense of urgency without making it difficult to hear what is being said.
Even better, he let the housekeeper behind the door hear this hidden uneasiness.
Based on the actual situation, the housekeeper subconsciously chose to believe that what the man standing outside the door said was true!
As a close confidant of Uchiha Setsuna, he can more intuitively feel how dangerous the undercurrent hidden under peace is than ordinary tribesmen!
Suddenly, my heart was in my throat.
Squeak~
The door opened through a gap that only allowed one person to enter sideways. The housekeeper looked around to make sure no one was there, then asked Qianye to come in first and wait.
"You are not Uchiha Qianye, who are you?!" the butler raised the lantern in his hand, used the candlelight to see the appearance of the person clearly, and exclaimed.
"I have been targeted by those mad dogs. Only by using transformation can I temporarily avoid their tracking."
Qianye said, dispelling the transformation technique, and opened his Sharingan to prove his identity.
This move further proves that Qianye is telling the ‘truth’.
"You wait here first and don't move around at will. I'll report it to the elder. I can't guarantee whether the elder will see you or not."
Qianye's eyelids twitched, always feeling that he was being taken advantage of, and asked: "Dare I ask for your honorific?"
"Uchiha Kagura."
'Fortunately it's not self-defeating...'
Qianye said anxiously: "I can feel the danger approaching. There is not much time left for me and my family. I leave everything to Master Huocang."
He first raised his voice, but as if he was afraid of being heard by some beings, he hurriedly lowered his voice, making it look a little weird: "For the family!"
In the dark night environment, Qianye constantly arouses Uchiha Hakura's sense of crisis and responsibility through sounds and content.
Only when their own vital interests are at stake, the parties involved will work hard instead of just settling for trouble!
Uchiha Kagura solemnly repeated: "For the family!"
Qianye stayed where he was and waited.
He has tried his best to do the best within his ability, if he fails...
He could only resort to dangerous tactics.
...
"Satsuna-sama, there is a ninja named Uchiha Chiya in the family who wants to see you. He said that it is related to the survival of the family."
Uchiha, who had just laid down, closed his eyes for a moment, preparing to let the butler send him away.
He was tired of hearing words like this.
"Huo Cang, is your heart getting older as you get older?"
Kaokura noticed the impatience of the owner in the house and hurriedly added: "He said that he was being monitored by Konoha's ANBU and could be assassinated by the ANBU at any time."
Lying on the bed, Uchiha suddenly opened his eyes, and an old voice sounded: "His specific information."
Setsuna Uchiha doesn't have to pay attention to the information about ordinary juniors in the family, but as Uchiha Setsuna's butler, he has to understand it.
"Uchiha Qianye, he is 16 years old this year. Both his parents are dead. His Sharingan has evolved to the second magatama. He previously agreed to use gentle means to resolve conflicts with Konoha."
The owner of the house said nothing after hearing this. Uchiha Kagura stood outside the door and waited patiently.
After a while, Uchiha's voice sounded: "Bring him to see me."
Uchiha Kagura breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, and he left and returned.
Brought good news:
"The elder agrees to see you."
'Finally passed the first level.'
Qianye did not relax, and he still needed to be alert and careful to deal with the next step.
The courtyard is deep and quiet, and the sound of frogs can be heard from time to time in the pond. If you listen carefully, there is also the crisp knocking sound of frightened deer knocking on the stones.
A candle lit up in the main room.
Under the dim candlelight, a somewhat stooped figure cast on the shoji door.
"Satsuna-sama, Uchiha Senya has arrived." Kaokura informed.
"Let him come in, and you should be on guard outside." Uchiha Setsuna spoke a little slowly because of his age, and his voice was unclear.
Qianye walked into the house and said straight to the point: "I'm telling you, Mr. Elder, that our clan is about to be wiped out! No chickens or dogs will be left!"
As soon as he opened his mouth, he couldn't stop talking until he was shocked.
Uchiha's cloudy eyes suddenly became sharp, and when he stared at Qianye, he felt a sense of needles!
He scolded: "Kid, our clan is a wealthy clan that has been passed down for thousands of years. What kind of crisis has we not experienced in so many years? The Uchiha clan will never perish. Don't talk nonsense here."
While Qianye was waiting, he kept recalling some sad things.
For example, I can no longer drink Fat House Happy Water, I can no longer see teachers with superb acting skills, I can no longer play fun games, I can no longer read good novels...
Raising an army for a thousand days and using it for a while, tears come!
The sadness flowed back into a river, and there were crystal drops from the corners of his eyes. Qianye said inexplicably with grief:
"Elder Setsuna, I didn't expect that even you would have this kind of attitude. It seems...our clan...has no hope."
After Qianye finished speaking, he turned around and left neatly.
‘1,2,3,4…’
Qianye counted silently in his heart, he was waiting for Uchiha to take the initiative to ask him to stay.
This abnormal behavior really aroused Setsuna Uchiha's attention.
I thought it was another younger member of the family who wanted to show off, but now it seems...
"What are you going to do?"
"Use my death to awaken the clansmen who are sleeping in their sweet dreams."
Qianye's tone was calm and indifferent, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
But you can feel the determination in it!
Uchiha stopped hesitating and said:
"You just said that the family is about to... What happened?"
‘It’s done!’ Qianye clenched his fists in his heart to celebrate.
