Chapter 224 Father and daughter bet

"Thank you for your understanding. I think the top priority now is to hold a funeral for the patriarch and his family and let them rest in peace."

"The enemy's whereabouts are mysterious and elusive. You still have to wait for the right time to take revenge."

"I wonder if the patriarch and their bodies have been brought back?"

After Uchiha Gen said this, he looked at Uchiha Setsuna, and the Mangekyō Sharingan in his eyes disappeared.

Uchiha Setsuna was a little embarrassed when he heard this and said: "Not yet."

As for the reason, it was naturally to avoid alerting the enemy. With the speed of the ninja, he could have brought the person back and held the funeral in the past time.

In fact, it is okay to take the body outside the village, but the ninjas of the police department are not allowed to leave the village without any reason. If they want to leave the village, they must truthfully explain the reason for their departure.

To be on the safe side, Setsuna and others decided not to send anyone for the time being.

Uchiha Gen pretended not to know: "Four days have passed. Although the weather in the Country of Whirlpool is still relatively cold, professional corpse disposal personnel should be dispatched."

"We must save the last bit of dignity for the patriarch and the others."

"That's right. Then send someone out early tomorrow morning."

Uchiha Setsuna then made arrangements for the people traveling tomorrow morning and preparations for the funeral, and everyone dispersed.

"Sister Mikoto, my condolences."

When leaving, Gen Uchiha turned to comfort him.

"After so many days, I have accepted the reality. Don't worry, I was once a ninja." Mikoto said with a faint smile.

Uchiha Gen nodded slightly, said no more, said hello to Setsuna and others, then turned and left.

Shisui followed suit, and the two chatted along the way.

The dispersed Uchiha ninjas discussed the three major events that happened tonight in twos and threes.

The clan leader and others died, and Master Xuan proved his innocence, using the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Normally any one of them would be the most popular event among the Uchiha clan, but the emergence of the Mangekyo Sharingan has suppressed the popularity of the first two events to a certain extent.

Of course, no matter how much we suppress it, it is inevitable that such a big matter will cause discussion among Uchiha.

It is foreseeable that Uchiha will not be quiet tonight, and the ninja who can go will definitely share the news with his family.

However, for the families of the seven dead ninjas, tonight they heard the bad news suddenly, and they had no intention of discussing it and couldn't sleep.

Setsuna Uchiha did not go back to his mansion, but ran to his daughter's home.

One is to help her daughter take care of her children, and the other is that she wants to discuss something with her daughter.

After confirming that Itachi and Sasuke were asleep, Setsuna called Mikoto into the tea room. Bright lights spread like water in the room. The father and daughter sat opposite each other. There were two glasses of water on the table.

Naturally, it is not advisable to drink tea late at night, so as not to affect your sleep.

"Father, what do you want to tell me?"

Wearing black clothes and a black skirt, without any makeup or jewelry, Mikoto was sitting upright on the cushion, with an expressionless face and a soft voice.

"What do you think about the new clan leader?" Uchiha asked in a deep voice.

"Once the Mangekyou Sharingan emerges, Gen will have the greatest chance of becoming the clan leader."

"Even if the second elder or the third elder becomes the clan leader, the position will not be stable and the status will be a bit embarrassing." Mikoto analyzed calmly.

There is a Supreme Emperor above his head, so his position is naturally unstable and his status is naturally a bit awkward.

"As expected of my daughter, even after being a housewife for several years, she has not lost the calm judgment of a ninja."

"The only people in the clan who are qualified to compete for the position of clan leader are me, the second elder, the third elder, Xuan, and Zhishui."

"Although I have a high status and considerable influence, I have only been out of prison for a short time, and there are not many people in the police department and clan who can actually give orders."

"Fugaku's death has caused your actual influence to plummet."

"I've done the math. We, the second elder, and the third elder can only form a three-legged alliance."

"If they unite to defeat us first and then decide the outcome, our chances of winning are extremely slim."

"And your father and I have the biggest flaw, age."

"No one in the clan wants to see a clan leader who is too old."

Mikoto hesitated for a moment and then said: "Can't Shisui count on it?"

"Shisui has a good relationship with us, but he also has a good relationship with the other two elders."

"Besides, given his personality, he definitely doesn't want to see infighting within the clan. Once infighting occurs, he will probably mediate it without helping each other."

"If we can't reconcile, we will probably choose to escape without helping each other."

"Shisui has always been very close to Xuan, and even has a faint admiration for him. Coupled with the Mangekyo Sharingan, there is a high probability that he will support Xuan now."

In fact, Shisui had already agreed.

When they went back to chat after the meeting, Uchiha Gen mentioned it, and Shisui agreed without hesitation.

"The Uchiha twins have the same attitude and will definitely win the support of many admirers. The odds of winning are conservatively estimated to be more than half."

"If that's the case, then let's put the icing on the cake and help Xuan Xuan and make the matter completely solid!"

"Xuan has always been close to us. It is better for him to take the position than for the second elder or the third elder to take the position."

"And Uchiha may need a leader who is enterprising and has great potential."

"It will be good if I, the second elder, and the third elder can maintain Uchiha's current status. It is difficult to secure a more glorious future for Uchiha."

"If Uchiha wants to become the Hokage family, Xuan is most likely to rise to the top."

Mikoto nodded slightly and said, "Father's words make sense."

"Mikoto, do you know how powerful Madara-sama was back then?"

"I don't know." Mikoto said honestly.

"Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, I heard it from the old man who saw it with his own eyes."

"Susanohu, the blue Susanoo that is higher than the mountains can split mountains with one sword and cut off rivers with one sword. That is simply the power of God!"

Uchiha's eyes showed admiration for a moment, and his face showed enthusiasm.

"How is that possible?" Mikoto opened her mouth wide when she heard this and said in disbelief.

"It's true, it's absolutely true. More than one old man has seen it."

"In addition to the Susanoo that is higher than the mountains, there is also the wooden Thousand-Armed Buddha that is much taller than the Susanoo."

"The battle between Madara-sama and the First Hokage is really like a battle between gods. Mortals have no way to intervene."

"The black ribs and black arms that appeared on Gen's body tonight are, if nothing else, the initial stage of Susanoo."

"Xuan Nan is only sixteen years old. He has the potential to evolve the Mangekyō Sharingan into the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan."

"If you have that kind of power, wouldn't the position of Hokage be within your grasp?"

"There is no second Senju Hashirama in this era!"

Although Uchiha Setsuna knew the name of the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, his evolutionary conditions were not clear, so he thought Uchiha Gen had potential.

Normally speaking, it is almost impossible for Uchiha Gen, who is an orphan and has no brothers and sisters, to evolve the Mangekyō Sharingan again.

It's just that Uchiha Genyou is called Uchiha. Setsuna Uchiha can be regarded as an accident.

Mikoto slowly digested what Setsuna said, came back to her senses, and said in an uncertain tone: "Father, are you telling me that besides letting us support the Xuandang clan leader, do you have any other purpose?"

Uchiha instantly showed his approval and said: "As expected of my daughter, she is just smart."

"Yes, I do have other intentions."

"How about you follow Xuan from now on?"

"Huh?" Mikoto said confused when she heard this.
