The Steady King of Konoha

This night was destined to be a sleepless night for the Konoha Ninja Village. The jounin meeting hurriedly convened by the Hokage ended quickly, followed by a flurry of excitement.

The war is coming, and even though the ninjas of Konoha are not slacking off on weekdays, they still cannot avoid panic at this time. However, this state of disorder will soon return to normal under the organization of leaders of all sizes. From this moment on, Konoha Village

War mode has officially entered. Carts of food were transported out of the village overnight, bundles of detonating charms were distributed, piles of ninja tools were moved out of the warehouse and left shining in the open space, and of course there was one person on the list.

The ninjas have been summoned and are waiting for battle.

In just a few hours, Konoha was completely transformed into a war machine, operating according to Hiruzen Sarutobi's will. Many businessmen with a keen sense of smell wanted to leave the village to make money, but they were all driven back.

Even if war seems inevitable, even if the news of the war will be known to other ninja villages sooner or later, for Konoha, it still needs to try its best to block the news. Time means victory and fewer casualties. Naturally, it is wary of spies passing on information.

.

After the meeting, Uchiha Fugaku returned to his clan without stopping, and immediately summoned the powerful ninjas in his family. The purpose was of course to discuss the Ninja World War.

Now that Hayama is detained in Platycodon City, Uchiha Fugaku is not used to living without him. Over the years, Fugaku has become accustomed to asking each other's thoughts before making decisions, and has even developed a dependence mentality.

This is the brilliance of Ye Shan. He will not take the initiative to seek a position, let alone control power. For him, strong strength and a smart mind are the basis for settling down. Facts have proved that Ye Shan succeeded.

The ninjas of the Uchiha clan have serious xenophobia, and they are also very wary of foreign ninjas. Hayama does not occupy any important positions among them, so naturally he will not arouse their disgust. In addition, the Uchiha clan respects the strong. Hayama has lived a very good life in these years.

Very moisturizing.

Some time ago, someone said that Shiroun Hayama is the executive deputy leader of the Uchiha clan. To be honest, it is very bad, but most Uchiha ninjas acquiesce to this statement and even agree with it from the bottom of their hearts.

It is true that the ninjas of the Uchiha clan are not very smart, and it is even more true that they have extreme personalities, but it does not mean that they have no brains or eyesight. Baiyun Yeshan has been firmly bound to the Fugaku family, and both parties share weal and woe. If nothing unexpected happens

He can be famous in the Uchiha clan for at least thirty years, and naturally no one will stupidly clamor to drive him away.

Uchiha Fugaku sat on the chair with a solemn expression, and next to him was Uchiha Keiji with the same expression. As for the current clan leader, he stayed in the Hokage Building and did not show up. It can be said that the two of them are the most powerful people in the huge Uchiha clan.

.

When the ninjas of the clan had almost arrived, Uchiha Fugaku winked at Uchiha Keiji beside him. The latter understood and immediately coughed a few times and said: "I'm calling you so late. There's something big going on in the village."

matter."

"According to reliable information, the Third Ninja War is about to break out. Where the Uchiha clan will go in this war still needs to be carefully discussed."

The faces of the hundreds of Uchiha ninjas who were sitting quietly changed greatly. The Ninja World War was a catastrophe for them, and no one could guarantee that they could survive it safely. Naturally, their faces changed after hearing this.

"Why didn't Mr. Hayama come?"

Sure enough, many people asked this question, and they were used to Hayama participating in Uchiha clan meetings.

Uchiha Keiji brushed off Uchiha Fugaku's face and said in a deep voice after seeing that he was not displeased at all: "Hayama is currently in Platycodon City and cannot participate in the meeting."

"You are all the elites of the Uchiha clan. The glory of Uchiha for thousands of years is in your hands. How can you rely on others when encountering problems?"

"The Hokage requires the clan to send elites to rescue Platycodon City. Which of you is willing to go?"

Everyone looked at each other in confusion. After a while, Uchiha Duanmu, deputy captain of the patrol team, gritted his teeth and stood up: "I am willing to go!"

Uchiha Fugaku showed a hint of admiration. He was previously worried that the comfortable life had eroded the martial spirit of his people, but now it seems that they are still not afraid of tough battles, showing the ferocity of the Uchiha clan.

Seeing that Uchiha Duanmu took the lead in asking for help, many ninjas expressed their willingness to go to Platycodon City, which was completely opposite to the way that no one spoke up in the meeting room held by the Hokage.

Uchiha Fugaku said with a smile: "You are all the elites of the Uchiha clan. If you all rush into Platycodon City, wouldn't it mean that Sunagakure Village will be defeated in one fell swoop?"

"This operation will be led by Uchiha Keiji himself and assisted by Uchiha Duanmu. However, what we do after arriving at Platycodon Castle is entirely up to Hayama's arrangements. Do you understand?"

Uchiha Duanmu was overjoyed. His resume and reputation were not enough to hold the position of vice-captain, so he took advantage of being the first to express his opinion.

"The remaining candidates will be selected by Keiji. I only have one request, and that is to overwhelm other ninjas and demonstrate the strength of Uchiha!"

"From now on, Uchiha Commercial Street will be temporarily closed. Don't worry about those bottles and jars. Ninja wealth has always been obtained by strength."

"Inform the barracks to send more manpower to the security department, increase the intensity of patrols on weekdays, and arrest all those who dare to cause trouble!"

"Okay, Qi Zhi and Duanmu stay, the others can go down and prepare."

Everyone followed the order and left, leaving only three people, two sitting and one standing, in the huge conference room.

Uchiha Fugaku picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, and said softly: "I really bother you this time. I really can't leave the Security Department, and I also need to dispatch many matters within the clan."

Uchiha Keiji knew that this was meant for him. Hearing this, he waved his hands with a smile and said, "It's nothing. I'm just idle. There's nothing going on for the time being. It's good to go out and do some activities."

Uchiha Fugaku nodded, half-closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then said meaningfully: "After this war, the sky of Konoha will probably change."

"Hayama once said that the Uchiha clan does not need to fight for the Hokage position. He believes that the problems within the clan cannot be solved by becoming Hokage. In the final analysis, the family must actively integrate into the village and make the village inseparable from Uchiha, not Uchiha

Can’t leave the village.”

"In the past few years, I have been under considerable pressure to create a commercial street and rectify the law enforcement atmosphere of the security department. The results so far are good. In at least ten years, the Uchiha clan will be completely integrated into the village, and by then Itachi will take over

He will be a prosperous Uchiha, much better than me, the young clan leader sitting half-assed on the fire."

Uchiha Keiji Lian Sheng agreed. He recognized Hayama very much in his heart. Since Hayama joined Uchiha, the situation in the clan has indeed been greatly improved.

"Young Clan Leader has worked hard and Hayama has made suggestions. It is difficult for Uchiha not to prosper."

A reserved smile appeared on Uchiha Fugaku's face, and he said in a deep voice: "But who doesn't want to sit in the Hokage's seat? I didn't dare to dream before, but now the time has come!"

Uchiha Keiji's heart skipped a beat. Even though he had experienced many years of experience, he still felt his whole body burning with excitement: "You mean Uchiha can produce a Hokage?"

"Why not?"

"War is the best opportunity. As long as the family continues to make military exploits on the battlefield, there is nothing surprising about the emergence of a Hokage."

Uchiha Keiji suppressed the high-spirited emotions in his heart and said hesitantly: "The Hokage family still has Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Namikaze Minato as the three pillars. I'm afraid it will be difficult for the family's wishes to be realized."

What he said is very pertinent. Although the Uchiha clan's overall strength is proud of the Konoha Ninja Village, it lacks a strong person who can make the final decision on the battlefield, which determines that the upper limit of the family will not be too high.

Uchiha Fugaku slowly took a sip of tea and narrowed his eyes: "The Hokage family has its backbone, and so does the Uchiha family!"

"I plan to hand over all the leadership of the Uchiha clan on the battlefield to Hayama!"

"With Hayama's strength and the large number of Uchiha elites, we are undoubtedly the ones who have made the greatest military exploits. By then, it is not impossible for Hayama to become the new Hokage."

"Wonderful!"

Uchiha Keiji praised Uchiha Fugaku's strategy: "As long as Hayama becomes the Hokage, it will be equivalent to the Uchiha clan becoming the Hokage. At that time, we will not have the final say in the village's power!"

"The young patriarch's idea was simply a stroke of genius. He actually turned the war into a good thing in an understatement."

Uchiha Fugaku could no longer hold back his pride and burst into laughter: "Hayama is the fourth generation Hokage, and my son will naturally be the fifth generation Hokage. Sooner or later, the Senju clan will be surpassed by us."

This is a bit exaggerated. A hero like the first Hokage who is rarely seen in a millennium can't be matched by Hayama. However, in terms of the number of Hokage, the Uchiha clan is indeed equal to the Senju.

Uchiha Keiji was also overjoyed. If Hayama really became Hokage, then with his friendship over the years, he would be a veritable ANBU minister.

Regardless of the fact that he currently holds the title of leader of the Roots, he actually holds very little power. Under Hiruzen Sarutobi's deliberate targeting, the Roots have almost become a new pension department, not as prestigious as the Deputy Minister of Security.

The taste of power is so wonderful that anyone who tastes it will be addicted to it and cannot extricate themselves. It can change a person's original intention. The best example of Sarutobi Hiruzen to the Senju clan is the best example.

Uchiha Fugaku calmed down his joyful mood, and turned into a serious look again: "So this mission to rescue Platycodon City must not be missed. This will be the first step in the rise of Uchiha!"

"You can choose among the ninjas in the clan, and we will provide you with all the supplies. I only have one request, and that is to fight the first battle well!"

Uchiha Keiji knew the importance of this. After hearing this, his face became much more solemn, as if he was responsible for the future of the Uchiha clan: "Don't worry, young clan leader, I will risk my life to fight the first battle.

"

"It is my duty to restore the glory of the Uchiha clan!"

Uchiha Duanmu suppressed his blush and didn't know what to say to express his position. After mumbling for a long time, he said: "Me too..."

Uchiha Fugaku nodded with satisfaction, and after a few words of encouragement, the two of them went to prepare. He sat there sipping tea with twinkling eyes, his eyes filled with something called ambition.

The sound of stumbling footsteps reached his ears and interrupted his reverie. A small figure got into his arms, and its white and tender hands grabbed his clothes: "Father, would you like to play with me?"

Uchiha Fugaku picked up his son in a good mood, pinched his little cheek and said with a smile, "I don't have time to play with you now."

The young Uchiha Itachi was a little disappointed: "What is father busy with every day?"

"I'm busy leaving you a big legacy."

"What is Jiye? Is it delicious?"

"Hahaha, you can eat your foundation, but you can't eat it."

Uchiha Itachi became even more confused. He grabbed his father's clothes and shouted that he wanted to eat his inheritance, which made Uchiha Fugaku laugh.
