Chapter 47 Funeral (4)
Although Uchiha Fugaku always has a sullen face, people who don't know him will think he is a very strict and mean person.
But if you get along with him for a long time, you will know that he is just born with a tense face. This young clan leader is not a strict person, but rather tolerant.
In every Uchiha clan meeting, he will listen carefully to the voices and opinions of the clan members.
And every time there is a conflict between the guards and the villagers, he will try to reconcile. Therefore, although he is young, after being promoted to the clan leader, he has completely won the support and recognition of the clan members in a very short time.
But this time, Uchiha Tiehuo clearly felt that the clan leader Uchiha Fugaku did show disappointment in his previous words and deeds.
He didn't know why this happened. In the past, when there was a conflict between the guards and the villagers, Uchiha Fugaku would try his best to suppress the matter for the honor of the family. But this time, although Uchiha Fugaku also reconciled the conflict, he was full of blame afterwards.
"Captain, I..." Uchiha Tiehuo's face was full of embarrassment and shame.
Fortunately, Uchiha Fugaku did not continue to blame him, but just sighed and said: "Okay, go back."
"Don't forget the regular clan meeting tomorrow night..."
As he spoke, he suddenly remembered what Namikaze Minato said to him when he went to the Hokage's office the day before to thank the Fourth Hokage. If Uchiha wants to change Konoha, he must first change himself. What does this sentence mean?
Perhaps, the declining Uchiha clan and the entire Konoha Guard are time to make changes.
It is definitely the luck of the current Uchiha clan to meet the current Fourth Hokage. This thought is becoming stronger and stronger in Uchiha Fugaku's heart at this time.
...
In front of the Konoha Memorial Monument.
A ninja who maintained order at the scene came to the side of several Konoha senior officials who stood solemnly and respectfully reported what happened just now.
Hearing that it was another dispute between the guards and the villagers, Shimura Danzo couldn't help but frown and said, "Is the guard's style still like this?"
"As a department that maintains the village's security, it often creates disputes and conflicts..."
The dissatisfaction in Danzo's tone could be heard by anyone.
At this time, Mitomon En, one of the two consultants, also echoed, "Yes, this won't work."
After hearing this, although Utatane Koharu didn't speak, her expression seemed to agree with it, which made Namikaze Minato next to him feel troubled. Uchiha gradually stood on the opposite side of Konoha. Although there were factors of coercion from the top, didn't they have their own problems?
Being arrogant and domineering is a common problem for many Uchiha clan ninjas.
Although the fuse incident has been stopped and the Uchiha clan moved to the edge of the village, if we don't find a way to completely change the current status of both sides, I'm afraid that the contradictions will continue to accumulate.
Sooner or later, when these contradictions accumulate to a certain extent, there will be other incidents that will become new fuses.
"It's time for the Guard to be reformed. I suggest that their organization rules be changed so that non-Uchiha ninjas can also join them as an exception."
Shimura Danzo said indifferently: "As for the non-Uchiha candidates who join, I have a few suitable people here..."
"... Danzo, this is not a small matter. I'm afraid it will lead to a bigger dispute, right?" Utatane Koharu said worriedly.
Making trouble, making trouble, just making trouble. When Minato Namikaze heard this proposal, his face suddenly turned black, and he couldn't help but want to punch Shimura Danzo on the head.
The Guard is originally a special organization. In order to limit the circle of Uchiha ninjas interfering in politics, after the development of the times, this system has already begun to make many Uchiha people dissatisfied. Now they want to add fuel to the fire and insert non-Uchiha ninjas into it? If they really do this, I'm afraid there will be a big conflict in two days.
In particular, Danzo seems to want to insert his own people in there...
There is basically no need to say what kind of style of work the people arranged by Danzo's subordinates have.
If this is done, the Uchiha rebellion may come earlier than expected.
"I agree with Lord Koharu. This is absolutely not okay." Namikaze Minato also firmly opposed at this time, "The style of the guard team is their own internal problem. In fact, I have ordered Uchiha Fugaku to rectify it."
"Placing non-Uchiha clan ninjas will definitely cause their strong opposition, which is very unfavorable to the current external situation of Konoha."
The so-called external situation, of course, refers to the covetous Iwagakure and Kumogakure.
After the Nine-Tails incident, according to the news sent back by Konoha's intelligence personnel, the two villages really showed signs of being ready to move. Although the internal preparations for war were not large, since there were secret actions, the time for another dispute was probably not far away...
Shimura Danzo saw that his proposal was opposed by the Fourth Hokage and Utatane Koharu, so he couldn't help but turn his eyes to Mitomon En. Unfortunately, Mitomon En seemed to think that this was a bit too much, and just remained silent, obviously not supporting Danzo's proposal.
Helplessly, he had to fall into depression again.
Namikaze Minato breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. If Danzo came openly, he was actually not afraid of him at all, but he was afraid that he would come secretly and make some big things that caught him off guard...
At this moment, four men and women with special identities came up from the memorial platform, wearing solemn black clothes and holding flowers for memorial. The leader was a man with long white hair, with red oil paint under his eyes.
After coming on stage, he first presented a white chrysanthemum respectfully, and then bowed. The man and two women behind him also made the same movements as him.
After the moment of silence, they walked towards the direction of Minato Namikaze and others.
"Teacher Jiraiya..." Minato Namikaze looked at Jiraiya with a solemn face and bowed slightly.
Then he looked at the people following Jiraiya, but was slightly startled.
Jiraiya nodded, but before he spoke, the advisor Mitomon En was the first to say with some surprise: "Are all the three ninjas of Konoha here?"
"I didn't expect that Tsunade would come back too..."
"...Advisor, what are you talking about? The Sandaime is my teacher after all." Tsunade, whose tall figure could not be concealed even in her black clothes, walked forward and frowned.
Behind her, there was a short-haired girl in black clothes about fifteen years old.
"I didn't expect that Sarutobi teacher would die just like this..." Finally, the unique gloomy and hoarse voice suddenly came with a sigh.
There was no doubt that it was made by a man with long black hair and purple eyeshadow and a feminine face.
The sighing tone of Orochimaru was filled with inexplicable complexity.
