Chapter 38: 1 Tribe and Village
Because the Wind Country used a defensive tactic, Orochimaru, who was unable to break the situation for a long time, had no choice but to retreat to his own defense line.
On the other side of the western battlefield, Ōnoki and the Third Raikage Ai were PKing in the Imperial City.
The fighting on the Western Front could not continue for the time being.
Therefore, Watergate, who was originally about to rush back to the Western Front, was given a short vacation to decide where to send him based on the situation in each place.
At the same time, Uchiha Mirror's reputation gradually spread.
The credit goes to the Iwagakure Publicity Department, but the most important effort was made by the Uchiha clan.
What is the Konoha Guard?
Protecting Konoha, maintaining public order, and punishing criminals means urban management plus police plus defense forces.
Under the instruction of the Divine Fire, all the Uchiha of his faction spared no effort to publicize the reputation of Uchiha Mirror.
The specific situation is as follows.
Sweet House: Mr. Tiexin, you are leading the patrol today!
Uchiha Tesshin: You also heard that Uchiha Kagami from our clan defeated the Four-Tails and forced the Tsuchikage to retreat!
Flower Shop Owner: Brother Xiaoren, would you like to see the new chrysanthemums?
Uchiha Owlman: That's right, if Kagami had almost killed Ōnoki, we could have sent flowers to the Iwagakure Village as a memorial.
Ramen restaurant: Four, is that four bowls of noodles?
Uchiha: Yes, the one killed by Jing was the Four-Tails. I heard that the Jinchūriki has been replaced now.
……
To sum up, the easing of tension on the Western Front now depends on Uchiha Kagami's extraordinary performance.
A sunny afternoon.
Uchiha Mikoto came to visit, holding her child.
"Shisui, take Itachi to play at the door."
In the courtyard, Uchiha Kagami leaned back in a recliner, studying Orochimaru's chakra activation technique.
"Excuse me, grandma is not mobile, and neither am I, so I won't serve tea to Madam Mikoto."
Mikoto glanced at the quiet child being held by Shisui, then turned around and chuckled, "Kami-kun, please be polite. It's my fault for coming here to visit you."
Uchiha Jing stared at me and said calmly, "What do you want from me?"
He was full of malice towards Fugaku and Itachi, and if it weren't for the fact that Mikoto was Sasuke's mother, he wouldn't have let her in.
"Jingjun needs to rest and recuperate, so I will speak frankly."
Mikoto looked embarrassed, but she still spoke: "I think Jing-kun has heard about the rumors in the village recently..."
"Fugaku sent back a message, hoping that Jingjun and Elder Shenhuo would come forward to restrain the tribe members."
……
"constraint?"
Uchiha Kagami put down the note and slightly turned his head to look at Uchiha Mikoto.
Before marrying Fugaku, Mikoto was also an Uchiha jonin with three magatama, an elite among the elites.
only……
The gaze that was directed at her made her dare not look directly at it, and she instinctively shifted her gaze away.
"You know why Fugaku said that, right?"
Taking a deep breath, Misaka felt that she was not facing a junior, but an elder of the clan with great prestige.
"There is a rift between the Uchiha clan and the Konoha high-level officials. Fugaku has been working hard to eliminate it, and there has finally been some change in recent years."
"The Third-sama asked Jiraiya to accept Kagami-kun. Isn't that a signal for the village to reconcile?"
"Fugaku and the Hokage are working hard for this. As a beneficiary, why would Kagami-kun take the initiative to distance himself from the villagers?"
"You are a member of the Uchiha clan, and even more so a ninja of the Konoha Village. You should not be bound by the narrow concept of a clan!"
"Compared to this village, even the Uchiha clan cannot possibly compete with it. Don't you understand?"
Mikoto finished what she wanted to say in one breath, fearing that if she paused, she wouldn't be able to continue.
Uchiha Jing's gaze was as calm as a still well, not stagnant water, but a deep, cold pond.
"In what capacity are you talking to me?"
"…Of course, as the head of the Uchiha clan and captain of the Konoha Guard!"
"I am speaking to you on behalf of the Hokage, the villagers, and even the Uchiha clan!"
Uchiha Jing chuckled silently.
"I will say something now."
"The reason why Fugaku is still the clan leader is that I'm leaving the title to him temporarily."
"You are not qualified to represent the Uchiha."
"I don't care what the villagers and the Hokage think."
Uchiha Kagami stood up slightly, like a dragon salivating at her, and an extremely cold aura enveloped Mikoto.
"You should be glad that you are a member of the Uchiha family."
"Otherwise I would have killed you."
Uchiha Jing's tone was not strong, but the murderous intent in his voice was real.
Mikoto shivered involuntarily as if she were hit by a sudden gust of cold wind.
Those words were like sharp blades that pierced her heart. Her body trembled uncontrollably, as if she was a leaf drifting in the wind, fragile and helpless.
Uchiha Jing turned around and raised the notebook again.
This terrifying aura receded like a flood, and no one except the devastated Uchiha Mikoto could notice what had happened.
"It's up to you to become a coward who wags his tail and begs for mercy. From now on..."
"Don't let me hear anything like that."
"This is the only time I will be kind to you."
At worst, he could look for Indra's reincarnation then. Uchiha Kagami would not allow Fugaku, a guy with a weak will, to enjoy power again.
If Fugaku could stand firmly on the side of the Hokage, Uchiha Kagami would still look up to him.
Even if he becomes a dog, at least the Uchiha clan can continue.
As a result, he was forced by his tribesmen to rebel, and was captured on the eve of the incident.
The greatness of fatherly love?
ridiculous.
Why should thousands of Uchiha clan members risk their lives to save your family?
"Brother! Itachi is crying!"
Shisui ran in holding the swaddled Itachi.
Uchiha Kagami glanced at the pale Mikoto calmly and said, "Mrs. Mikoto, take your son away."
……
"I understand... Goodbye, Jing-kun."
……
Shisui keenly noticed that something was wrong with Mikoto, and when the others walked away, he leaned over and asked.
"Brother, did you have a fight with Aunt Mikoto?"
rustle.
Uchiha Jing flipped through a few pages and said calmly, "Shisui, what do you think of the relationship between the Uchiha clan and the village's top leaders?"
Children in the ninja world mature precociously, and Shisui is also a genius, so he should have his own ideas.
In Uchiha Kagami's opinion, Shisui of the original time and space was not even as good as Uchiha Itachi.
At least they made their choice, whether it was right or wrong.
But what about Shisui?
His Mangekyō was taken away by Danzo, but he didn't want to seek justice for fear of causing the conflict between the village and the Uchiha to deepen.
Not daring to make a choice, he entrusted his eyes to Itachi and then committed suicide.
He never realized until his death that the top leaders, led by the Third Hokage, did not want to resolve the problems with the Uchiha people at all, they only wanted to deal with the Uchiha people.
It’s not because the Uchiha want to rebel, nor is it because of some messed up reason that is difficult to control.
Very simple.
This originated from the discrimination against the Uchiha clan by the Second Hokage and the Konoha high-level officials!
The establishment of the Konoha Guard was to alienate the Uchiha from the Konoha villagers.
Perhaps the Second Generation finally tried to accept the Uchiha and took in an Uchiha as his subordinate.
Uchiha Kagami would not hate Senju Tobirama, as his several younger brothers were brutally killed by the Uchiha.
Of course, he would not feel ashamed, because Senju also killed many Uchiha children.
There is no right or wrong, the essence is stance.
The Uchiha clan chose Jing, so Jing will naturally stand firmly on the side of the clan.
"Brother, I..."
