Chapter 368 Clan Debate

“Yuan, the Guard is the Uchiha’s Guard, the Guard and the Uchiha are one.

Now you have actually introduced outsiders into the security team. I strongly oppose your establishment of auxiliary services."

The fourth elder, Uchiha Sanhe, spoke first.

Uchiha Yuan looked at the fourth elder Uchiha Sanhe calmly, then his eyes slowly swept over the first elder Uchiha Lu and others, only to see that their expressions were indifferent, without the slightest change.

Finally, Uchiha Yuan swept his gaze towards the Uchiha who were attending the meeting; he saw that many of them were looking at him with dissatisfaction, and it was obvious that they agreed with the words of the fourth elder Uchiha Sanhe.

"Fourth Elder, I set up the Auxiliary Service Team in the name of the Third Squadron of the Guard. The ninjas who join the Auxiliary Service Team are all my subordinates. They are non-staff members of the Third Squadron and have nothing to do with the Guard."

Uchiha Yuan said.

"But they use the name of the security force to the outside world, and in the eyes of the outside world they also represent the security force."

The fourth elder Uchiha Sanhe said.

"So... so what? Is this a loss to the security team?"

Uchiha Yuan still spoke calmly.

Uchiha Sanhe's expression froze and he opened his mouth but stopped talking.

Yeah, that's bad for the security team.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from the crowd.

Then Uchiha Shisui stood up from the crowd and walked to the front of the crowd. He looked at Uchiha Yuan and said, "Yuan, if you say that the auxiliary team has no harm to the guard team, I cannot agree with you."

"Shisui, your opinion is nothing more than that my actions will make the village more wary and dissatisfied with our Uchiha clan, and will widen the rift between the clan and the village."

Uchiha Yuan frowned slightly as he looked at Shisui, then spoke.

"Isn't this reason enough?"

Shisui looked directly at Uchiha Yuan with sharp eyes, and continued: “The village leaders are already dissatisfied with the family, and it is the Third Generation who has been suppressing them.

However, the family has recently been blaming the Third Generation for the Hyuga clan's affairs, so the village leaders are even more angry with the family; now Yuan you have set up an auxiliary team to recruit ninjas from the village.

These ninjas are former subordinates of the traitor Orochimaru. Your actions have made the village think that the family is preparing for a rebellion."

There was a commotion among the crowd when they heard Shisui's words, and the faces of the family elders changed as well.

Uchiha Fugaku looked at Uchiha Yuan. His heart had been heavy since his conversation with Itachi.

He hadn't expected that the village would regard the establishment of the auxiliary team as a sign that the Uchiha were preparing for a rebellion.

This made him think of forcibly disbanding the auxiliary team, but his previous conversation with Uchiha Yuan made him hesitate.

While the family was attracted by the auxiliary team, Uchiha Fugaku was more concerned about another aspect of the matter, that is, Uchiha Yuan was not just a member of the Uchiha clan, but as he was followed by so many ninjas, he had become a force in Konoha Village.

And given the tough stance that Uchiha Yuan has shown in the past, he must be extremely cautious when dealing with Uchiha Yuan.

"Rebellion?"

Uchiha Yuan sneered and continued, "I have a question I would like to ask you."

He slowly turned his head and glanced from Shisui to the other Uchiha clansmen; he saw that some of the clan members attending the meeting had expressions of surprise, some had expressions of worry, and some had expressions of excitement.

Among these tribesmen, a sharp gaze made him feel like needles piercing his face.

The gaze came from Uchiha Itachi.

Uchiha Yuan paused, and stared at Uchiha Itachi for a few seconds before looking away.

"what is the problem?"

Uchiha Fugaku said.

"What is the purpose of the family's struggle with the village over the years?"

Uchiha Yuan said.

"Of course, we have to take back everything that we Uchiha deserve."

A voice rang out from the crowd.

"That's right!"

"We must take back what the Uchiha deserve."

"..."

The crowd attending the meeting started shouting, and Uchiha Itachi silently looked at the fanatical faces of his clansmen around him, with a frown on his face.

After a while, Uchiha Fugaku raised his hand to signal, and the hall returned to silence.

Uchiha Yuan then continued: "Konoha was established by the Uchiha and the Senju together, and it is reasonable that we Uchiha have a share in the position of Hokage.

But the reality is that the Senju Tobirama family has been occupying the position of Hokage for decades."

"Yuan, aren't you being too biased? All previous Hokage were chosen by the village to be people of both reputation and strength."

Shisui frowned.

"Humph, Shisui, you are so naive! What's the reputation and strength of Konoha White Fang? Just because he is not from the master-disciple line of Senju Tobirama, he was forced to commit suicide in the end."

Uchiha Yuan sneered.

"Yuan! You have no evidence for what you said. It's just your conjecture."

Shisui snapped.

Compared to Shisui's loss of composure, Uchiha Fugaku and the elders all looked thoughtful.

They had never thought of this before.

"Yuan, what happened to Konoha White Fang has nothing to do with us, please continue."

Uchiha Fugaku spoke up.

"Clan leader, elders; as far as I know, the first generation wanted the then clan leader Uchiha Madara to succeed the second generation Hokage."

Uchiha Yuan said.

"Yes, in fact, Hashirama-sama originally wanted Madara-sama to become the first Hokage.

Unfortunately, many things happened later, and finally Tobirama Senju became the Second Hokage after the death of Hashirama-sama."

The great elder Uchiha Ritsu said.

"Clan leader, the establishment of the village security team and the control of us Uchiha started during the time of Senju Tobirama."

Uchiha Yuan turned his gaze to Uchiha Fugaku and said.

"good."

Uchiha Fugaku nodded.

Uchiha Yuan sneered twice, then said: "Senju Tobirama let the family control the guard team, which seems to let the family monopolize power; but at the same time, it also makes the family the target of jealousy and exclusion from other ninja clans.

Because of the family's pride, they may not care about the rejection of other ninja clans, but in the long run, the family has become isolated in Konoha Village.

Konoha belongs to everyone. Without the support of others, how can the family get in touch with the position of Hokage?"

Uchiha Yuan's words plunged the underground hall into silence, and Uchiha Fugaku and others frowned in thought.

"Yuan, what you said makes sense. I never thought you could think so far."

The great elder Uchiha Ritsu looked at Uchiha Yuan with a complicated expression and said.

He originally only valued the strength displayed by Uchiha Yuan, but he did not expect to be shocked by the other party's careful consideration at this time.

"Judging from Senju Tobirama's performance, our Uchiha clan has been deeply feared and wary of him since the beginning.

And his ideas were also inherited by his disciples, so they have been suppressing and guarding against us Uchiha for decades.

The family wants to take the position of Hokage, but the village leaders will never let the position of Hokage be touched by us Uchiha.

This is the reason for the conflict between the family and the village for decades, the source of the contradiction. "

After a pause, Uchiha Yuan looked at the silent Shisui and said, "Shisui, what do you think the family should do in the face of such a situation?

Should he give in to the village and stop dreaming of becoming Hokage?

Or you can fight against the village and get everything your family deserves."

Shisui really wanted to say that for the sake of peace and to ease the conflict, the family should give in to the village, but when he saw the tribesmen's passionate expressions, he chose to remain silent.

"Of course we will continue to fight against the village!"

"The Uchiha will never back down!"

"Despicable Senju Tobirama... damn bastard..."

All the Uchiha shouted.
