Chapter 527 The Dilemma of the Uchiha Clan
As the conditions proposed by Kumogakure were very harsh, the progress of the negotiations between Konohagakure and Kumogakure seed to be approaching zero.
It was a negotiation that had been decided long ago, but they had been arguing from the afternoon until the sky was getting dark without a break.
Seeing this, Kaito, who ca to be a witness, couldn’t help but breathe heavily.
However, compared to the Land of Hot Waters and the verbal battles on the negotiation table.
In the Land of Fire, Konohagakure Village.
Tonight seed even less peaceful.
In the slightly cool night, Konohagakure Village, which was extrely lively during the day, seed to be particularly quiet.
Many people have received news that Konohagakure is about to reach a truce with the Kumogakure Village.
Although less than a month ago, the village had summoned a large number of ninjas to fight on the front line, and there were many casualties.
But being able to completely end the Third Great Ninja War that has lasted for several years, most villagers and even those large ninja clans were relieved.
This is not just the end of the Third Great Ninja War.
For Konohagakure, the Third Great Ninja War is more like a continuation of the Second Great Ninja War.
The interval between the two wars was only two or three years, and the small-scale conflicts in between never really stopped.
For so older ninjas, this war has lasted for more than ten years.
With the official truce, the whole village seems to have regained so vitality.
Of course, not all clans are looking forward to this truce.
In the clan territory of the Uchiha clan.
Uchiha Fugaku, as the clan leader, was reading the recent security departnt report with so sorrow.
The Konohagakure Security Departnt has always belonged to the Uchiha clan since the reign of the Second Hokage.
Whether it is the internal managent of the security departnt or the selection and promotion of personnel, it can be decided by the Uchiha family without the decision of the Hokage.
This "excellent" selection chanism has led to most mbers of the Uchiha clan having temporary positions in the security departnt.
However, holding the important departnt of the Security Departnt not only brought great power to the Uchiha clan, but also created an invisible barrier between the mbers of the Uchiha clan and other villagers in Konohagakure Village.
The daily work of the Security Departnt is to maintain the law and order in the village and resolve disputes between villagers.
Even if they handle cases impartially and impartially, helping one party will inevitably offend the other party.
Moreover, with the arrogant character of the Uchiha clan, how can they completely handle cases impartially?
In other words, how can a village like Konohagakure, which does not even have a decent and fair law, be able to convince people to uphold justice?
This also made the reputation of the Uchiha clan in Konohagakure Village deteriorate.
Similarly, the people in the clan are also increasingly disgusted with the villagers of Konohagakure.
’We, Uchiha, have worked hard to maintain the law and order of the village, and these untouchables are not grateful, and they always treat us coldly. Why should we be nice to these idiots?’
This is what most people in the Uchiha clan think now.
What rapidly intensified this conflict was the attack of the "Uchiha Thief" on the major ninja clans more than a year ago.
That ti, the thief who called himself Uchiha Madara attacked.
Although the Uchiha clan’s secret library was also stolen, although most people did not believe that the other party was really Uchiha Madara, and although there was subsequent news proving that the other party was an unknown organization hidden in the ninja world, and even attacked the tailed beasts of other villages.
However, during the attack, the other party truly showed the Sharingan that only the Uchiha clan can possess.
Although that person also showed the ability of Wood Style.
But others can’t go and bla the Senju clan, which has been disbanded for who knows how many years, right?
Moreover, the other party could easily pass through the layers of defense outside Konohagakure. All parties believed that they had a deep understanding of Konohagakure, and the guard departnt, as the village’s defense force, was also responsible for dereliction of duty.
After that, the conflict between the guard departnt, or the Uchiha clan and ordinary villagers, and even ordinary ninjas from the major ninja clans, beca increasingly intensified.
From ti to ti, there would be cases where the Uchiha clan injured villagers during law enforcent, or conflicts with ninjas caused damage.
"Sigh--"
Looking at the cases on the table in recent days, Uchiha Fugaku couldn’t help but sighed.
He didn’t feel sorry for the overwhelming compensation. The foundation of the Uchiha clan, money and everything else were just small problems.
But in the long run, Uchiha Fugaku was very worried that their Uchiha clan would be unacceptable to Konohagakure.
He had proposed at the clan eting before that, with the rise of Namikaze Minato, the fourth Hokage who was relatively friendly to the Uchiha clan, the Uchiha clan should voluntarily hand over the security departnt and learn from other ninja clans to disperse and integrate into other departnts in the village.
However, let alone Namikaze Minato, the Hokage, the clan mbers were the first to disagree.
Although the clan mbers usually complained about the work of the security departnt, how many people could really give up the power they had held for many years?
In desperation, Uchiha Fugaku could only settle for the second best.
He hoped that more clan mbers would participate in this Great Ninja War, establish their reputation through military exploits, and soften the prejudices and grudges of other ninjas in the village against the Uchiha clan through friendship between comrades.
In order to set an example, Uchiha Fugaku even took his four-year-old son to the battlefield in person.
However, before he could see how much effect this move would have.
Now the Third Great Ninja War is almost over.
What worries Uchiha Fugaku even more is the battle more than half a month ago when he urgently called for manpower to defend against the sudden attack on the Kumogakure Village.
The previous Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen sent Shimura Danzo to call on all the ninja clans to fight.
Shimura Danzo called on all the ninja clans, but left out the Uchiha clan alone.
Although Sarutobi Hiruzen explained after returning that the Uchiha clan, as an important part of the guard departnt, should stay in the village to maintain the safety of the village in such a critical mont,
Uchiha Fugaku could clearly see that the ninja clans that paid a heavy price in casualties on the battlefield, even the more rational clan leaders, looked at the Uchiha clan with a little resentnt in their eyes.
In the face of such a situation, Uchiha Fugaku had no solution at all.
"Do I have to use this eye again?"
Uchiha Fugaku covered his left eye, which was a little blurry, with his right hand, and a look of struggle flashed across his face.
However, just as the three tomoe in Uchiha Fugaku’s eyes turned and turned into a complex pattern, "Who!!" Uchiha Fugaku shouted, and then stood up suddenly.
Then, "whoosh--" a rapid and sharp sound of breaking through the air passed by.
"Bang!" A sharp kunai pierced through the paper window and shot in, nailing it firmly on his desk.
