The Senju remnants of the Uchiha clan

Chapter 85 Tonight, two people couldn't sleep.
At night, in the Uchiha clan's territory.

A secret meeting was held at Setsuna's house...or rather, Shiratori's house.

It was called a secret, but almost everyone in the clan knew about it, because most of the clan's jonin had gone, and they walked together like they were on a team building trip, so there was no need to hide it...

In the room, the white bird sat in the main seat,

After Setsuna retired, he had completely taken over the old man's position in the clan.

Among the Uchiha radicals, he can be said to have the final say.

Even if there were one or two who were unwilling to obey, they became obedient after being called to the training ground to "discuss life".

There are 24 radical jonin now - some died in previous wars and missions, but more fresh blood has come in, such as Uchiha Tekka, Uchiha Niwagi...

What? Rice Fire?

Tiehuo, who was sitting below, puffed out his chest with pride, not even bothering to think about his shameful brother.

Is it difficult to be a jonin? It's not difficult at all! Isn't it enough to have eyes?
I really don’t understand why my stupid brother has yet to become a jonin. Maybe... he trusted the teachings of the Eighth Dai too much and was corrupted by him?
Uchiha Yashiro turned his head suspiciously as if he sensed something, and found Tiehuo sitting upright next to him, looking straight ahead.

Strange... Did this kid just glance at me? And his gaze was very rude...

Never mind. It’s better to believe it than not. I’ll go beat up his brother Daohuo to vent my anger.

Inahori, who was sweating profusely in the training ground in an effort to become a jonin as soon as possible, suddenly sneezed...

"Everyone..." Seeing that everyone had arrived, Bai Niao said, "I gathered everyone together tonight because there is a mission..."

"The village's mission?" someone asked.

"No, it's our Uchiha clan... or 'our' mission! I want to ask you a question."

Shiratori continued, "Are you willing to do anything for the survival of your family?"

Everyone present was shocked. Have you heard this sentence before?
It seemed to be during the Nine-Tails Rebellion. Not long after saying this, Shiratori chopped off three Root Ninjas in front of them...

It won’t come again this time, will it?
"Shiratori, are we going to kill the Root ninjas again?" Uchiha Tian scratched his head.

Killing a few Root ninjas overnight for fun for no reason... isn't that a good idea?
"What are you thinking about! This time it's not a Root ninja!" Shiratori was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

That’s good… everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Tomorrow morning, we will go kill the Kumogakure delegation. We may even have a small sparring match with the ANBU."

Everyone's heart suddenly rose to their throat again!
This... Has our business expanded overseas?

After half an hour, the meeting ended.

The jonin left with worried looks on their faces.

Uchiha Setsuna, leaning on a cane, slowly walked out from behind the house.

The old man is over eighty years old. Although his health is getting worse every day, his mind is still clear.

"Shiratori, isn't it too early to confront the Konoha high-ranking officials head-on now..."

He had always been worried that his disciples might not be radical enough, but now it seemed that this worry was unnecessary...

He already knew all the contents of the meeting, but in his heart he actually did not support Shiratori's decision.

He knew his disciples' situation better than anyone else.

Time! It only takes time! Shiratori will grow into one of the tallest mountains in the ninja world today.

According to his idea, the showdown with the Konoha high-level officials should be held after Shiratori turns 18.

At that time, no matter the family, strength, prestige, status and other factors can be ignored, because the ninja world respects ninjas, and ninjas... respect strength. In this world, the strong always have privileges that others cannot reach. The stronger the strength, the fewer constraints.

Take the three ninjas of Konoha as an example. Except for the defected Orochimaru, Jiraiya and Tsunade are not in the village all year round. They can refuse any mission assignments and ignore the so-called high-level orders. No one will make any comments, and even the Hokage will coax them - even if some of their behaviors are actually close to "defection"...

The same principle applies to Shiratori. As long as his strength can surpass Sarutobi Hiruzen, then taking care of his emotions is more important than the "small" threat from the Uchiha clan.

Shiratori also understood what the old man meant. He knew that with the rapid growth of his own strength, the possibility of his family being wiped out had become infinitely small, but...

"Master, this opportunity is so rare, I don't want to give up..."

What he wanted to see was not the Uchiha clan hiding behind him and relying on the power of others to bully others, but for the clan to gain a real foothold in Konoha without having to look at anyone's face!

On the surface, this incident is a crisis for the Hyuga clan, but in fact it concerns all the families in the village.

Sarutobi Hiruzen stretched his hand too far. He decided the life and death of the head of a clan based on absurd reasons, which had violated the core interests of the major ninja clans.

Civilians are certainly the foundation of the village, but Sarutobi Hiruzen seems to have forgotten that Konoha was originally founded... led by the Senju and Uchiha clans, with the participation of other ninja clans.

The support of the Ninja Clan is the fundamental reason for Konoha's existence.

"Well, if you insist..."

Setsuna stopped persuading her and turned back to rest. He has always been Shiratori's strongest supporter and always believed in Shiratori's judgment.

After a brief conversation with Setsuna, Shiratori went out under the cover of night.

He first went to the Aburame clan and visited the former leader, Aburame Shiwei; then he went to the Akimichi clan and visited the bedridden Akimichi Tofu in the name of visiting a sick person.

He even did not spare the Yamanaka clan and the Nara clan, who he had no relationship with on weekdays...

In one night, except for Sarutobi, Shimura, and the families of the two advisors, almost all the big and small ninja clans in Konoha were visited by Shiratori.

The Nara clan.

After seeing Shiratori off, Nara Shikaku, the leader of the Konoha jonin squad and the patriarch of the Nara clan, suddenly sighed.

He really didn't want to get involved in this matter. After Shiratori said the first sentence, he wanted to poke his ears out...

The smart little Shikamaru walked up to his father and asked in a baby voice, "Dad, we have a good relationship with the Sandaime Hokage's family, right?"

At the age of three, he is probably smarter than Yashiro, the Inahori brothers, and others...

"Yeah..." Shikaku pinched the bridge of his nose tiredly, "When our family joined Konoha, it was the Sarutobi clan who introduced us!"

"Then why..."

"Because we...are also ninjas!"

.........

Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't sleep because he received information that Shiratori was running around among the various ninja clans.

What does this kid want to do?
As a result, before the matter was fully investigated, another piece of news came:

The Hyuga clan invited the Kumogakure delegation to negotiate tomorrow morning, but the location of the negotiations was not the Hyuga clan's territory, but... the square in front of the Hokage Building.

Compared to negotiation, that place seems more suitable for fighting...

Fugaku, the head of the Uchiha clan, couldn't sleep either.

He looked at the thick stack of leave requests on the table and suddenly had a bad feeling...
