After hearing Sakumo's words, Hiruzen smiled slightly and then waved for Sakumo to leave.
What do you think, Danzo?
After Sakumo Hatake left, Hiruzen Sarutobi began the formal discussion. Although Sakumo had become a trusted subordinate, his status was still somewhat lower than that of Danzo and his three students.
"Within the 130 Uchiha clan, those who awaken the Sharingan earlier can enjoy the clan's favor and cultivation earlier. This has always been a challenge for us. Those children who awaken the Sharingan early will become high-ranking members of the Uchiha clan in the future."
Danzo began to speak slowly and deliberately.
"For these people, the help they receive from their families far outweighs that from the village, while the village still needs them to carry out all sorts of tasks, and they could die if they are not careful. Therefore, for them, the importance of their families far outweighs that of the village."
"This is a vicious cycle—"
At this point, a chilling glint appeared in Danzo's eyes.
"That's why the Second Hokage founded the Ninja Academy to strengthen the bond between the major clans and the village. He also created the Konoha Police Force to be managed by the Uchiha clan, hoping to integrate the Uchiha clan into the village as soon as possible."
Hiruzen Sarutobi picked up where Danzo left off. He knew that Danzo Shimura had always seen the Uchiha clan as a thorn in his side, but the importance of the Uchiha clan to Konoha was also self-evident.
"Hmph, even so, they still don't know what's good for them, and they even dared to plot a rebellion. Fortunately, the Second Hokage noticed it early and quickly nipped the rebellion in the bud, otherwise, Konoha would probably have been taken over by the Uchiha in a few days!"
What Shimura Danzo was referring to was a piece of history sealed away by Konoha. After taking control of the guard and tasting the power, some members of the Uchiha clan became restless and attempted to rebel, but they were annihilated by a large number of Anbu members led by "Tiger, Explosion, and Bull."
This is why the Uchiha clan behaved themselves for a while.
"What exactly are you trying to say, Danzo?" Hiruzen narrowed his eyes, instinctively feeling that Shimura Danzo had no good intentions.
"Give that child to me, Hiruzen. In my hands, he will become an incomparably sharp weapon!" Shimura Danzo turned his head and looked at Hiruzen. The ten-year-old boy who had awakened the Sharingan was truly captivating.
Hiruzen Sarutobi returned Danzo's gaze without backing down, and the two remained silent, neither willing to yield.
“Uchiha Aki is different from other Uchiha clan members. Even after awakening the Sharingan, he didn’t report it to the clan. Instead, he preferred to remain a bottom student at school. In other words, he refused the clan’s favors to stay at school. Do you know what that means, Danzo?”
Hiruzen's voice already hinted at anger. Danzo had been expanding Root extensively over the years, taking away many rare geniuses, yet he was still not satisfied.
"This means that for him, the bond with the village far outweighs that of his clan. Such Uchiha clan members are extremely rare, and this gives us the opportunity to ease tensions with the Uchiha clan, and even—"
At this point, Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly changed the subject.
"He might even become the next Uchiha Kagami!"
Upon hearing the name Uchiha Kagami, Danzo seemed to lose all his strength and dared not look at Hiruzen Sarutobi anymore. If you could see him, you would find that he was trembling all over!
Kagami Uchiha was considered a disgrace within the Uchiha clan, but a hero in Konoha.
Kagami, along with Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura, and Homura Mitokado, were among the first graduates of the Ninja Academy. After being assigned to classes, they received instruction from Tobirama Senju and became members of the Second Hokage's guard when they were promoted to Jonin.
He loved peace and surpassed most of the narrow-minded members of the Uchiha clan. He inherited the Will of Fire and passed it on to some members of the Uchiha clan, earning the deep trust of the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.
Originally, the village could have used the mirror as a link to reconcile relations with the Uchiha clan. However, at the end of the First Shinobi World War, when everyone followed the Second Hokage to the Land of Lightning to sign a peace treaty, a rebellion broke out within the Land of Lightning.
Kinkaku and Ginkaku possessed the immense chakra of the Nine-Tails and could even manipulate the ninja tools left behind by the Sage of Six Paths. To cover their retreat and leave a spark for the village, the Second Hokage faced Kinkaku and Ginkaku alone, along with a large number of rebels.
During the retreat, Shimura Danzo suddenly attacked Kagami, killing him and stealing the Sharingan from Kagami's right eye. This is why Kagami has to wrap his right eye with bandages all year round.
The only person who knew about this was Hiruzen Sarutobi!
Hiruzen wanted to stop it, but it was too late. He was forced to accept the reality of the situation. After returning to the village, he explained to everyone that Kagami died to cover their retreat, just like the Second Hokage, and thus became a hero of Konoha.
"Hiruzen—"
Danzo said in a somewhat hoarse voice.
"Your leniency towards the Uchiha clan today will make you regret it later. I'm waiting, and that day will come soon."
After saying this, Danzo slammed his sleeve and strode away. Shen Qiu never expected that beating up Hyuga Kiyokawa would cause such a huge uproar.
Goodbye, Ruri.
"Goodbye, Ah Qiu. Tomorrow...tomorrow we'll be divided into different classes. I heard that after that, it'll be hard to see each other again..."
At the entrance of Ichiraku Ramen, the two, having enjoyed a delicious meal, were about to part ways as the sky began to darken.
Kobayashi Ruri's eyes betrayed her disappointment.
"No, I'll go back to see you, Liuli, if I have the chance in the future." Shen Qiu smiled; he had a good impression of this pink-haired girl.
"That's a deal!"
"it is good!"
P.S.: Please give me flowers and subscribe!
A few words from the author (very important, must read)
This book has been published for exactly one month since May 14th. To be honest, I have really high expectations for this book, because I am a full-time writer and need royalties to make a living.
Actually, when I first started writing, a senior colleague told me that it was actually not bad, but the title, cover, and introduction of the work were not very good, and the formatting was also problematic. I said I would fix it.
However, he said he didn't recommend making any changes and suggested simply starting a new book, because in his words, the book was already ruined and it was no longer realistic to make money from it.
But I really softened at the time because the book actually had a complete outline and plot progression. I felt that I had worked hard to write it, and it was really hard to give up like this.
So I told that senior colleague, "It's okay, it doesn't matter if I don't make any money, as long as I can afford to eat every day." To be honest, looking back now, my thinking was quite naive and ridiculous.
This book has never performed well, which is evident from the number of flowers it has received. Now, with over 20 words, it only has a little over 4000 flowers, which is really, really bad. Even though I ask for flowers every day, it's no use; the number remains the same.
I was so excited on June 4th when it was released that I didn't sleep well all night. Actually, a few of my readers in my "little nest" know this. I haven't had a good night's sleep since I started writing this book. I usually can't fall asleep until four or five in the morning. To be honest, it's quite tiring.
Then, on the day it was released, I thought to myself, "I wish I had 200 subscribers that day." Why did I say that? Because the subscriptions on the first day of release are extremely important; they can almost determine the future of the book.
If I get 200 subscribers on the first day of release, and I write 6,000 words a day with three updates, I can earn about 1000 yuan a month. To be honest, that's not enough for anything else, but at least enough to eat.
All Ether wanted was to earn enough to eat; he truly desired nothing more.
Then that day, I waited for 24 hours without closing my eyes, refreshing the subscription page over and over again. After 24 hours, guess how many people had subscribed?
40 people.
To be honest, I felt quite ironic at that moment, but I still suppressed a very sad feeling and told myself, "It's okay, it's okay, I'll write for a while longer. I think I'll feel much better after writing for a long time."
· ·Requesting flowers··· ···
Sometimes I can't tell if this is self-comfort or self-deception.
And as it turns out, no miracles happen; such things only exist in movies. My grades remain the same. To be honest, writing is both an easy and difficult task.
Why do you say this way?
. ... 0
It's very simple. For motivational reasons, if I have enough subscriptions and support from everyone, then writing will actually make me very happy and joyful. However, if every chapter I publish seems to disappear without a trace, then I really won't want to write anymore.
To be honest, I felt physically and mentally exhausted. I was really tired and listless. Writing fanfiction is not as easy as I imagined. When I was writing the Type-Moon volume, I often researched until late at night because, as everyone knows, the Type-Moon universe is very vast.
The same applies when writing the Naruto volume. Because the timeline of Naruto is very messy, many times the time was written by reverse deduction or speculation.
If subscriptions continue to be this bad, I'll abandon the project; one has to face reality eventually.
Ether died on June 15, 2020.
Chapter 109: Fugaku's Visit - Analyzing the Current Situation
"So this is where I live."
The Uchiha clan's current settlement is not as remote as it was later, when they were driven to the edge of the village. It's not far from the village center; it's only a ten-minute walk from Ichiraku Ramen.
Shen Qiu's identity is very simple. His parents are both ordinary Chunin of the Uchiha clan. His father seems to be quite lucky. When he was twenty years old, he awakened the Sharingan with a single tomoe during a mission, and later upgraded it to two tomoe.
But that was all. When he was about four years old, he tragically died while carrying out an A-rank mission. For ordinary Chunin, A-rank missions are already extremely difficult; only Jonin would frequently take on A-rank missions.
The father, who had awakened the Sharingan, seemed to think he was all set and took on A-rank missions one after another. In the end, he successfully completed the third A-rank mission, "133," but he and his mother both met their demise.
This is a simple two-story Japanese-style building. It's not very big, but it's very clean. The furnishings inside are a bit old, but they are still quite complete. Overall, the accommodation is not bad.
Before he could even take a closer look at the room, the door he had just locked came banging shut.
"It's so late, who could it be?"
But when Shen Qiu opened the door, an unexpected person came into view.
"Young clan leader?" Upon seeing the newcomer's face, Shen Qiu couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. The newcomer was Uchiha Fugaku, a boy who looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old. Although he was young, he was already a Jonin, and his Sharingan had reached the level of three tomoe.
At the same time, he has begun to learn about some matters concerning the Uchiha clan's leader. The old clan leader has almost retired, and this fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy can be said to be the current leader of the Uchiha clan.
"Please come in. I really didn't expect you to come so late. We don't have much to offer you." Facing the current head of the Uchiha clan, it was necessary to show the necessary respect.
"It's nothing. I didn't come here for anything particularly important. I heard you awakened the Sharingan, so I came to check on you."
Upon hearing Fugaku Uchiha's words, Shen Qiu's mind stirred. He could roughly guess why the other party had come—it was nothing more than an attempt to win him over. To be honest, the Uchiha clan hadn't had an easy time these past few years.
More than a decade has passed since the fall of the clan's last genius, Uchiha Kagami. Although the Uchiha clan doesn't have a good impression of Kagami, they have to admit his genius and strength.
For the past ten years or so, apart from Fugaku, the family has had no other geniuses, and seems to have fallen into a predicament of not having enough successors. The existence of Shen Qiu can be said to have brought them great joy, but at the same time, they are filled with regret.
Although the clan would give him an extra sum of money, it wasn't a special favor. All orphans in the Uchiha clan enjoyed this benefit, since no one could have imagined that a loser would suddenly awaken the Sharingan.
Fugaku's voice was very kind, with a mature air about him. Fifteen or sixteen is a rebellious age, but you can't see any of that in Fugaku. He truly deserves to be the heir of a great family.
"Yes, I dreamt of my father and mother a few days ago, and I was very sad. When I woke up, I found that I had activated my Sharingan, but I couldn't be sure because it was deactivated immediately, and I forgot about it."
