Chapter 43 Who is in favor and who is against

"spring?"

Uchiha Hikaru remembered——

If I remember correctly, this girl seems to be Itachi's peer, who was once saved by the latter on the night of the Nine-Tails, but finally died together with other tribesmen on the night of the genocide.

"Are you the one who delivers food during this period?"

"No, it was Rikka-senpai who came yesterday, and Nanami the day before yesterday... We are all newcomers who have just joined the security force. We have to patrol this area every day, so the family asked us to bring these ingredients to you. If grandma If you need anything, you can always tell us and we will buy it for you.”

Uchiha Izumi answered obediently.

"Rikka, Qishi..."

Uchiha Hikari recited them silently in his mind, confirming that they were all names he had never heard of.

But think about it, it is impossible to let the elites of the clan or Fugaku himself do this kind of errand-type chores.

"Don't be so nervous. Grandma won't eat you."

Uchiha Hikaru took a step forward and patted Izumi on the shoulder with a smile: "Take me to the Uchiha station. I have something to ask your clan leader."

…

After following Izumi downstairs, Uchiha Hikari met the Rikka and Nanami she mentioned.

The two of them, a man and a woman, both in their teens, bowed to Uchiha Hikari with fear and fear, and then hurried back to report.

Twenty minutes later, when Uchiha Hikaru himself, led by Izumi, arrived at the Uchiha tribe located on the southwest side of Konoha Village, a large number of people had already gathered here. The leader is still the clan leader Fugaku, surrounded by many elders, clan jounin, and some civilians. Sasuke, who was being led by Uchiha Mikoto, was also among them, poking his head curiously.

Next.

Fugaku solemnly introduced the identity of Uchiha Hikaru to the clan members present, and then took her into the residence for a cordial and friendly visit.

During this period, several Uchiha elders intentionally or unintentionally proposed that they wanted to "see" the power of the Mangekyo Sharingan, and they also secretly wanted to encourage Uchiha Hikaru to compete with Shisui.

Fugaku immediately scolded him.

Uchiha Hikaru was not sure whether Fugaku was directing or acting in this episode, or whether those elders really didn't know how to praise others, but the first request was exactly what she wanted - if no one mentioned it like this, she would have to think about how to make it happen Establishing prestige less abruptly.

"That's fine."

"Since you insist on seeing it, I will take a few steps to let you understand the gap between you now."

As he spoke, Uchiha Hikaru had already gained some momentum, and then Susanoo activated the third state on the spot, soared into the air under the gaze of all Uchiha, and then slashed a "Hundred Eight Dan··" towards the edge of the clan land. Heavy artillery kill."

Cut out with one sword.

Accompanied by an earth-shattering explosion, the red sword energy cut through the sky, directly plowing a tens of meters long vacuum belt in the woods. Wherever it passed, the sword energy was everywhere, and whether it was trees, shrubs, rocks or rubble, or even a few hares and birds that were startled along the way, they were instantly torn into pieces.

After doing all this, Uchiha Hikari fell from the air as if nothing had happened, without blushing or breathing. He also gave each of the elders an engraved Tsukuyomi.

Of course, these few months of reading were not the kind prepared for Danzo. They just allowed these elders to walk in a desert for a few hours. By the way, the engraving was placed on them.

As for the reason for doing this...

"There is no respect for others, children look down upon their elders, small punishments and big warnings will not happen again!"

When they came out of the illusion space, several elders looked tired, but when they looked at Uchiha Hikari, there was a bit more awe in their eyes:

"Is the genjutsu just now the 'Tsukuyomi' mentioned in the classics? And that dark red giant should be Susanoo! The classics say that turning on this pupil technique will put a huge burden on the body. , even blood and tears will flow from your eyes, but you..."

"……hehe."

Uchiha Hikaru glanced at those people coldly: "The level of attack just now is not even a warm-up for me. There were at least dozens of Uchiha people who could do this during the Warring States Period. Now. It has only been a hundred years, and have you all regressed to this extent? "

"...let grandma down."

Several elders, including Fugaku, all looked ashamed.

Of course Uchiha Hikaru was lying.

Although the sword strike just now was not her full blow, it was definitely not an ordinary A-level strike.

And the Uchiha clan members who can achieve this level, let alone the early Warring States Period, even during the Madara period when the Uchiha clan was the most powerful, probably would not reach double digits. However, because of her resolute words and her strong recovery power, which made her seem to have no energy at all, these elders were really frightened and began to reflect one by one.

As for the proposal to spar with Shisui...

Uchiha Hikaru pretended not to hear.

——In fact, even if they really spar once, it doesn’t matter. After all, there is no reason for Shisui to suddenly give her a "Better God" on such an occasion. But facing these two kaleidoscopes whose abilities can be called bugs, Uchiha Hikaru is a bit weak. Don't want to take any risks. When it comes time to have to look into those kaleidoscopes, either she has become confident that she is not afraid of "other gods", or it may be time for a showdown of life and death.

Since Uchiha Hikaru didn't mention it, with Shisui's character, it was naturally impossible for him to take the initiative to challenge her "elder".

…

After Uchiha Hikari showed off her force in public and threw a few Tsukuyomi rounds as punishment without any explanation, the Uchiha around her finally became submissive to her, began to straighten their stance, and spoke to her as a junior.

Fugaku tentatively proposed that he would like her to help mentor the young talents in the clan in her spare time.

Uchiha Hikaru agreed casually.

At noon, she was invited to Fugaku's house for lunch. After the meal, she talked to Fugaku and several elders about the current situation of Uchiha as an "elder".

Shisui did not participate.

Because he is not senior enough to intervene in such decision-making meetings.

"...This is the list of all Uchiha clan members. Please take a look at it."

"Well, let me take a look."

Uchiha Hikari took the roster and glanced at it: "The number of clan members who have activated the three magatama is so small, not even twenty among hundreds of clan members?"

"Yes, you also know the conditions for opening the Sharingan. It is still a bit difficult to achieve the third magatama. Among the clan members, the number of people who have opened the second magatama is the largest."

Fugaku explained in a low voice: "But there are still a few outstanding juniors, such as Inuko Itachi, who has opened the third magatama at the age of 11, and the child named Izumi who picked you up has also opened the second magatama. Very Might become a jounin in a few years...

This time I proposed to the Third Generation to increase the number of places for Uchiha to enter the ANBU because I wanted to recommend Izumi and the other two children to join. "

Uchiha Hikaru narrowed his eyes slightly.

Yesterday, she proposed to Sarutobi Hiruzen to increase the number of Jonin leaders, mainly to consider opening up the communication between Uchiha and foreign races. Now it seems that it was a mistake.

"Nowadays, Uchiha's life is a bit too comfortable."

"what do you mean……"

"In our Warring States Period, if you couldn't open the three magatama by the age of 12, you basically had no chance to open it, because you would soon die in the war."

Uchiha Hikaru raised his head: "I have already observed that the security force in your hands is said to be used to maintain the security of Konoha, but it only deals with trivial matters. The real big things are controlled by the ANBU. This kind of A job that even genin can do well will not only waste manpower, but also seriously weaken the Uchiha clan's will to fight. Have you ever considered giving up part of the power of the security force?"

"ah?"

Fugaku was stunned.

Before he could speak, Yashiro Uchiha next to him immediately spoke to dissuade him: "Grandma, this is absolutely not possible. The security force is the foundation of the Uchiha clan. How can it..."

"fool!"

"The Sharingan is the foundation of the Uchiha clan!"

Uchiha refuted sternly: "Without power, no matter how much power you have, it is just a castle in the air. I didn't expect that you have lived so long that you can't even understand such a basic problem... No wonder the current Uchiha is so weak!"

"Grandma, are you going too far..."

Several Uchiha elders turned red from holding back:

In fact, it was Uchiha Hikari who dared to say this.

If another person, even Uchiha Fugaku, used "weak" to evaluate the current Uchiha, they might not be able to help but slap the table.

"What, you're still not convinced?"

Uchiha Hikaru tilted his head: "In a large clan of several hundred people, only Uchiha Shisui's strength can barely reach the eyes. The rest are simple-minded, short-sighted, arrogant and arrogant rabble... At this level, I still think Want to take charge of Konoha? Even if you are allowed to sit in that position, do you really think you can do better than Sarutobi Hiruzen and properly handle the relationships between Konoha's various clans and other ninja villages? "

"..."

Several Uchiha fell silent.

Although their self-esteem makes them want to say "can", their few senses tell them that they may not be able to do it.

After a moment of silence.

Uchiha Hikari spoke again:

"I have proposed to Sarutobi Hiruzen that we use a small number of places in the security force to exchange for the opportunity for the Uchiha tribe to enter the ninja school teacher sequence and jounin class. These two departments have close exchanges with other families and have more opportunities to communicate and fight. , and the jounin class is also one of Konoha's power agencies, and is qualified to interfere in the Hokage's election... Instead of placing expectations on the ANBU who are tightly controlled by the Hokage, it is better to think differently. "

"I know your interpersonal skills are worrying, but at least spend some time on superficial skills. There must be many people in the clan who are as stubborn as you. How to convince them is your business. If you even If you can't handle this relationship, stop daydreaming about being the shadow of a village."

After a pause, Uchiha Hikaru gave another sweet date: "From now on, I will take time to personally guide you in your practice. Before your strength reaches my expectations, put away your arrogance. But... if someone can meet my expectations, , I will also give him some rewards as appropriate.”

"After I have finished speaking, who is in favor and who is against?"
