Chapter 22 - Chapter 22

After the New Year.

Uchiha Kong clearly felt that the Uchiha clan's vigilance against outsiders had become tighter.

One time, Xi Yan came to Uchiha Sora to practice swordsmanship, but was kicked out before she even got into the Uchiha clan.

This made Uchiha Kong realize that Fugaku might not be able to wait to start the coup.

If the development of the original plot is followed, I'm afraid Shisui's death is not far away.

On this matter, Uchiha Sora has been silently counting the time.

The real genocide should be two years later, led by the grown-up Uchiha Itachi, and the current Itachi has just been recommended by Fugaku to enter the root and be placed in the family as a member of the family.

Spies among Konoha's top brass are operating secretly.

However, now Uchiha Shisui's reputation has reached its peak, and his status is already the captain of Konoha Anbu, deeply trusted by the Third Generation.

Under such circumstances, it is actually reasonable for Uchiha Fugaku to want to launch a coup.

Once the coup is successful, it will be absolutely natural for Shisui to be elected as Hokage.

As for himself, he has no intention of becoming a Hokage, because in terms of strength and reputation, he, the clan leader, is not as good as Uchiha Shisui.

So Fugaku has been training Itachi, hoping that Itachi can take over Shisui's position and become the next generation of Hokage.

Of course, there is one person he cannot ignore, and that is Uchiha Sora!

For Uchiha Sora, Uchiha Fugaku's favor with him has been declining ever since he was rejected in Genjutsu.

Especially after Uchiha Kong entered Anbu, he became even more independent. He always focused on Anbu's mission and did not take the words of his patriarch to heart.

Even in several previous family gatherings, Uchiha Sora did not attend due to missions.

This made Fugaku more and more disappointed with Uchiha Kong, and even labeled him a traitor to the family in his heart.

On this day, Fugaku once again held a family gathering and notified all family members to come and participate.

Of course, those who can attend the gathering must be those with Chūnin strength or above.

After hearing the news about the family gathering, Uchiha Kong frowned slightly.

He had not participated in the previous few times.

It was indeed because he was too lazy to attend because of the mission.

He knew that the content of the gathering was nothing more than inciting the emotions of the tribe and deepening the relationship between the tribesmen. feelings, and made the tribe more and more dissatisfied with the top management of Konoha.

It was just a lecture activity similar to a pyramid scheme and brainwashing.

But this time he happened to be free, so he planned to take a look.

Wearing his usual white clothes and wearing the weapon that had been replaced by a long sword on his waist, Uchiha Sora, who was nearly 1.7 meters tall, walked through the family street and came to the family shrine where the meeting was held.

There were already many people coming by this time.

Everyone saw Uchiha Sora arriving and cast curious glances at him.

Ever since the Chūnin exams, Uchiha Sora's reputation as a genius has been spreading among people.

It's just that many people are unfamiliar with Uchiha Kong because he has rarely participated in family gatherings before.

"Sora, are you here too?" Sora walked into the shrine, and Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi, who had already arrived, greeted him.

Among the Uchiha clan, probably only Shisui and Itachi are relatively familiar with Uchiha Sora.

Speaking of which, Shisui is still Anbu's immediate boss, and they meet him often.

Since Itachi entered the root, he rarely saw each other, but Itachi and Shisui still have a good relationship, and the two often practice together.

After Sora greeted them, he looked at the clan leader Uchiha Fugaku, who was sitting in the center of the shrine, closing his eyes and relaxing.

As if aware of Sora's arrival, Uchiha Fugaku slowly opened his eyes, and a pair of three magatama Sharingan slowly appeared.

He said coldly: "Uchiha Sora, you are not on the list for this family gathering, what are you doing here?"

Uchiha couldn't help but be startled when he heard this.

Because Uchiha Fugaku had notified him several times before, although he was not notified of this meeting, he came naturally after hearing the news. He did not expect that Fugaku would show such hostility towards him.

But after thinking about it for a moment, Uchiha Kong understood the problem and said with a faint smile: "Clan leader, it seems that you are dissatisfied with me for not coming to participate in the previous few times?"

"Hmph! Don't you dare! Uchiha Kong, I'm afraid you will become the captain of the Anbu squad in the near future. How can my little Uchiha clan be taken seriously by you?" Fugaku sarcastically said.

"Haha, that's inexplicable!" Uchiha Kong's face turned cold.

When everyone in the family heard this, they immediately became energetic and thought there was a good show to watch!

The clan leader seems to be very hostile to the genius Uchiha Sora!

Feeling the smell of gunpowder between the two, Uchiha Shisui and Itachi looked at each other, and Itachi said: "Father, Sora didn't come to the meeting before because he had a mission..."

However, before Itachi could finish speaking, Uchiha Fugaku waved his hand and interrupted: "Itachi, you don't have to give him a reason, family gatherings are so important! The task is certainly important, but not attending many family gatherings has violated the family According to the ancestral teachings, I'm afraid his heart is no longer with the family!"

Itachi had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.

Uchiha Shisui frowned slightly.

Although Fugaku's words were unpleasant to hear, Uchiha Sora's behavior of not coming to the gathering many times before did seem to indicate that he did not take the family into consideration.

However, this kind of thing is actually not a big deal as long as you don't specifically pursue it.

But it is obvious that today Uchiha Fugaku seems to want to list Uchiha Sora as a typical example.

I'm afraid I want to take this opportunity to warn those in the family who are not firm enough.

"It seems that the clan leader wants to express to me that family is more important than anything else." Uchiha Shisui thought helplessly.

At this time, Uchiha Kong also understood Fugaku's intention and couldn't help but said: "Chief, what do you want me to do?"

Fugaku said calmly: "If you still want to be recognized by the family, then resign from Hokage Anbu and serve in the Konoha Guards!"

The captain of the Konoha Guard is himself.

For someone like Uchiha Sora, who is obviously not under his command, letting him enter the department he manages and being under his nose can make people feel at ease.

"Then what if I refuse?" Uchiha said calmly.

"Then you go, I don't welcome you to this gathering either!" Uchiha Fugaku said coldly.

"Okay, if that's the case, then I won't attend this gathering." Uchiha shook his head and turned to leave.

Everyone looked at Uchiha Sora leaving and looked at each other for a while.

"Okay, is everyone here? Let the meeting begin!" Fugaku stood up and announced to everyone.

It's quiet at night.

The rally finally ended.

The clan members dispersed one by one, and only Uchiha Fugaku and Shisui remained in the shrine.

Fugaku looked at Shisui in front of him and said earnestly: "Shisui, your reputation has reached its peak now. If you want to go further, you must become a Hokage. Do you want to become a Hokage?"

Hearing this, Shisui smiled bitterly and said: "Clan leader, becoming a Hokage is not that simple. In addition to strength and reputation, you also need to be recognized by Konoha's senior officials."

It can be said that becoming a Hokage is the dream of almost every Konoha ninja.

"You have now gained the trust of the Third Hokage. I believe you have a great chance of becoming the next Hokage! Moreover, as long as you always stand on the side of the family, the family will definitely do its best to support you!" Fugaku said.

"If you become Hokage, the family's situation in the village will immediately become different, which is very beneficial to the family!"

Uchiha Fugaku continued: "But now there are several problems before us, one is wood The top management of Ye do not trust us, the Uchiha clan.

There are many historical reasons for this, which we cannot change.

Only through your efforts can we change their views. "

"There is another problem, which is the cohesion within the family!"

"Uchiha is proud of his talent and does not take his family seriously. If this kind of person is not properly disciplined, he will definitely become a black sheep!"

"Shisui, I hope you can supervise him well. If he has any thoughts that are detrimental to the family, I hope you can use your Mangekyō abilities!"

After listening to Fugaku's words, Shisui nodded with a heavy heart.

"I understand, patriarch."

"Well! The future of the Uchiha clan depends on you!" Uchiha Fugaku patted his shoulder heavily.

Shisui said goodbye and left.

Watching Shisui leave, Uchiha Fugaku fell into deep thought again.

Shisui's ability is undoubted, he is dedicated to the village, and he has a sense of belonging to the family. Recommending him to become Hokage is the core idea of ​​this coup. As long as Shisui keeps his mind steady, there will be no accidents in this coup.

After Shisui left, he looked back at the figure in the shrine and sighed heavily in his heart.

"You want me to become a Hokage and change the fate of the Uchiha clan, but how easy is it? Unless you are determined to launch a coup, but... I will never let you do this!" Shisui said secretly. .

Standing in his current position, Shisui's eyes are no longer limited to one clan, but to this village and this country.

Shisui knows very well that the current Konoha Village is already weak on the outside and weak on the inside, and cannot withstand the torment!

As for Uchiha Sora's question, Shisui couldn't help but shook his head. Compared with the thoughts of the clan leader and the thoughts of Konoha's senior officials, he could not understand Uchiha Sora's thoughts.

"It seems that I should go talk to him." Shisui's figure flashed and disappeared.

At this time, Uchiha Sora was standing in a small forest, waiting quietly.

After a while, Shisui's figure appeared behind him.

"Captain Shisui, I know you will definitely come to me." Uchiha Kong noticed the arrival and suddenly said.

"The clan leader asked me to monitor your actions." Shisui said bluntly: "If you have bad intentions towards the clan, I will use Distinguished Heavenly Gods on you!"

Uchiha Kong nodded and couldn't help but laugh: "It seems like the clan leader showed mercy to me. I thought he would send you to kill me."
