After Uchiha Homura made his promise and threat, all the hawkish Uchiha jōnin dared not speak again. They all obediently lowered their heads and left, not daring to even breathe a little.
"Hmph, a bunch of trash. They dared to go to Sandaime, that old guy, to ask for an explanation. It's true that they've been comfortable in the village for too long and don't know their place in the world,"
Uchiha Homura sneered as he looked at the hawkish Uchiha jōnin, who were now as meek as turtles.
At the same time, he was worried about the growing hawk faction within the Uchiha clan.
He wasn't opposed to these hawkish Uchiha clan members being dissatisfied with Sandaime's policies and the current status of the Uchiha in the village, but he was worried that these clan members were too stupid and had chosen the wrong method to fight back.
Storming the Hokage building and demanding an explanation from Sandaime.
Which idiot came up with this stupid idea?
The Uchiha clan doesn't need to act according to Sandaime's wishes. Since Sandaime doesn't trust the Uchiha clan, why does the Uchiha clan need to lower themselves and go out of their way to stick to him, doing something as stupid as kissing a cold ass?
So what if they are isolated? Ever since that person caused the death of Senju Hashirama, the Uchiha clan have been isolated and feared for a long time.
But the Uchiha clan has still managed to take root in Konoha and grow stronger and stronger.
As long as the Uchiha are strong enough and no more idiots like that person appear, the Uchiha's position in Konoha will remain as stable as Mount Tai.
Since the decline of the Senju clan, the Uchiha clan has been the most powerful ninja clan in Konoha. The combined strength of the entire Konoha is now at least one quarter of the Uchiha clan.
If Konoha were to lose the Uchiha clan, it would be like cutting off an arm, and it would immediately become the weakest of the five major ninja villages.
By then, Konoha, which occupies the most fertile land in the ninja world, would definitely face an attack from the other ninja villages.
For a long time, it has been Konoha that needs the Uchiha, not the Uchiha that needs Konoha.
Unfortunately, there are fewer and fewer Uchiha who see this clearly.
"Ninja school, that despicable guy Senju Tobirama has finally gotten his way. The cowardly will of fire has begun to erode the younger generation of the Uchiha clan, causing them to unconsciously incline towards protecting Konoha rather than their family."
At this, Uchiha Homura thought bitterly as Senju Tobirama and the ninja school he founded flashed through his mind.
The reason why the power of the Konoha Hokage faction has begun to grow is precisely the Ninja School.
The people of the Hokage faction have been indoctrinating the so-called Will of Fire into young children at the Ninja School, leaving them deeply influenced by the Will of Fire and eventually reduced to their lackeys.
By the time the Uchiha clan and other Konoha ninja react, it will already be too late.
Unbeknownst to them, the power of the Hokage faction had become the most powerful force in Konoha. The large and flourishing group of civilian ninjas were the hardcore supporters of the Hokage faction, and many young talents from all clans also aspired to join the Hokage faction.
At this point, it had become impossible for the Konoha ninja clans to destroy the Ninja School. They could only silently go along with the general trend and send outstanding clan members to the Ninja School every year to try to secure a place in the powerful Hokage faction.
Once upon a time, the Uchiha clan also occupied a very high position in the Hokage faction.
Unfortunately, since the accidental death of Uchiha Kagami, everything has changed. The Uchiha clan has never been able to squeeze in, and with the deliberate exclusion of the four abominable Tobirama disciples, they have continued to drift away from the core of power in Konoha.
"This can definitely not continue, the stalemate must be broken,"
thought Uchiha Homura with a heavy heart.
As the head of the family, he must work hard to ensure the Uchiha clan's continued tenacious survival in this world.
The next moment, he looked at the small figure that was still sitting in the corner of the room, then waved her over.
Chizuru saw her grandfather's hand signal and reluctantly walked over, saying coldly, "What?"
"Go find that Kirito kid and tell him I need to see him."
Uchiha Homura ordered with a cold face.
Chizuru did not answer immediately, but opened her Two-Tomoe Sharingan and stared at Uchiha Homura.
"Your eye power is not bad, a little stronger than the average Three-Tomoe Sharingan. It seems that that kid has given you quite a few good things. Don't worry, I just want to talk to that kid, I won't do anything to him. Besides, that kid is very cunning, he would never come to my place in person."
Uchiha Homura sneered.
Chizuru snorted in contempt, then closed her Sharingan and turned to leave.
As Chizuru turned to leave, Uchiha Homura's face immediately revealed a relieved expression.
The seed of hope for breaking the stalemate has been found, it just depends on whether it can grow smoothly.
Half an hour later, Chizuru arrived at the orphanage and found Kirito's shadow clone, who was busy in the laboratory on the ground floor of the orphanage.
"Your grandfather asked for me?"
Kirito said with a surprised expression in the underground laboratory.
"That's right. I'm just here to deliver a message. Whether you go or not is up to you,"
said Chizuru coldly, then looked around at the strange creatures soaking in the green solution, her eyes full of curiosity.
She had been to Kirito's laboratory a few times before, but the last time she was here was already a year ago.
And in just one year, it has changed beyond recognition.
She remembers that last time she came, it was quite simple, with just a broken computer and a dozen or so glassware columns. Now, not only has the space expanded a lot, with extravagant renovations, but there are also a large number of new types of equipment, and the number of glassware columns has actually increased to more than 50.
And these are just the things she can see right now. She notices that there are also other rooms connected to this one, and she suspects that there are still many things that she hasn't seen.
When did this guy become so rich.
She remembered this guy saying that doing biology was very expensive, and he had a headache every day because he didn't have enough money.
She had wanted to support him a little, but unfortunately this guy was too proud to let go of his pride and ask her for money.
Finally, Chizuru's gaze fell on a normally developed humanoid creature.
That was a person, with very pale skin, and his face actually resembled Kirito's face quite a bit, almost like an older version of Kirito.
Except that this person's hair was red.
"I see. But since you've come to find me in person, I can't refuse to go,"
Kirito sighed when he heard Chizuru's words.
Without saying what the matter was or whether he wanted to go, according to Uchiha tradition and his arrogant personality, it meant that it was important and he had to go.
However, he did owe Uchiha Homura a huge favor, or rather, he owed it to Chizuru. Thanks to the list Chizuru provided him, he was able to easily mess with Danzo's Root organization and get his revenge.
Since the other party asked Chizuru to come find him, he would go for Chizuru's sake.
"Suit yourself,"
Chizuru said coldly, but a smile appeared on her face.
