Uchiha Man, the grandson of the third elder of the previous generation of the Uchiha clan, lived in the discrimination and neglect of the clan for a long time after the accident of the third elder.

However, the ninja world is a place to speak with strength. After a period of depression, Uchiha showed his powerful talent, and with his own strength, he gradually re-established his position among the clan.

Nowadays, everyone in Uchiha knows that the seventh elder is full, and he has long forgotten that he was the grandson of the third elder.

"Manjun appeared here today, shouldn't he just congratulate me."

Fuyue and Man sat cross-legged, took a sip of tea and said lightly.

Unlike the previous Second Elder, the sight of Uchiha in front of him seemed to make him more cautious.

"There are indeed some things to tell the patriarch."

Uchiha Man glanced at Uchiha Itachi, who was hugged by Mikoto in the distance, and showed a formulaic smile.

Uchiha is now middle-aged and his strength has reached the peak. Among the Uchihas who are very sophisticated, the elders of this age are considered very young, although they are only the seventh elders.

The elders of the older generation were all fought from the war, and some of them were completely on an equal footing with the patriarch, or even directly overhead.

Manneng's becoming an elder may have something to do with Uchiha's weakness, but Fuyue is very clear that Manneng has this strength.

Among Uchiha's current powerhouses, Man's Huo Dun is almost the most powerful, and even has the title of "Scarlet Salamander", which is highly valued by the elders of the older generation and others.

And strength is not Uchiha's most powerful talent. His important contribution to the family comes from his ability to collect information.

Whether it is for Uchiha, a radical or a conservative, mastering the intelligence of the village and the ninja world is crucial, and even a matter of life and death.

However, after Uchiha's decline over the years, not only was he deprived of most of his authority, but also most of the resources he had obtained were cut down. This was a fatal blow to a big family.

Without the rights, the confidential information collected in the village cannot be obtained. Without resources, Uchiha will have difficulty developing its own intelligence network.

In addition, activities are restricted to the village, and even during the Ninja World War, they are closely monitored. For a long time, Uchiha will be trapped in a prison, like a blind and deaf man, out of touch with the entire Ninja World, and finally it will become more and more decayed, maybe that day. The village is finally going to cut Uchiha without knowing.

A large part of the expenses of the Uchiha family is used to collect various intelligence, which Fuyue also strongly supports, but before Uchiha took over the intelligence, there was always huge resistance and little effect.

"The information that Manjun personally informed, it must not be a trivial matter." Fuyue's eyes twitched slightly.

Man's ability to obtain information is quite amazing. Although he is definitely not as good as Konoha Anbu and the like, Man Man will be able to obtain major events in the village and the ninja world, so that the family can be prepared. This is the guarantee of his status.

It's just... Fuyue has always been suspicious of Uchiha.

Intelligence work requires analytical and inferential capabilities, but the most important thing is access to intelligence.

A lot of confidential information cannot be obtained without a huge intelligence network and power. This is the biggest difficulty for Uchiha today. Even if Fuyue does it, it will never be so good. Specifically, it is very different.

However, Man can often get the most important information for the family at the right time, which is a bit unusual.

For example, during World War II, it is said that Ren Zhuli rioted out of control in Yunren Village, causing huge losses.

The third generation of Raikage was furious. When looking for the murderer, he couldn't help but suspect Uchiha's Sharinyan, and then he suspected the evil of the ninja world - Uchiha Ryu.

There is no impermeable wall in the world. The Renzhuli riot incident even directly affected the combat troops on the front line of Yun Ninja, which had a certain impact on the outcome of the war, and was later known by Konoha.

When you think of Uchiha Dragon, you naturally think of Uchiha.

According to the thinking of the top of the village, if someone can make Yun Renrenzhuli go violent, then the Uchiha clan will also threaten the nine tails, and then the village immediately began to secretly investigate the Uchiha clan, and even prepared to take some "necessary" measures.

At that time, Uchiha, who was being guarded, happened to be at the most uncertain time. Many people hoped that Uchiha could go to the battlefield to gain more rights. There were also many young Uchihas who clamored to take advantage of the war and lacked skills in the village to launch a coup. , to change the suffocating situation.

And at this critical moment, Uchiha Man got this information, alerted the family, strictly restrained the family's ninjas, and did not catch any clues to the village. In the end, this matter passed so peacefully.

The acquisition of this information was so timely and so "magical". This incident has greatly increased Uchiha's status, and this is just a typical example.

Other clansmen may not think that, but Fuyue vaguely thinks that Uchiha is full of secrets, including the rumored sudden change after his childhood setbacks, and the rapid improvement of his strength, which may be far more complicated than it seems.

Of course, this is just an ethereal suspicion after all, maybe it's just that he is too sensitive...

"Today's tremors in the village, the patriarch must be very puzzled, right?"

Uchiha said indifferently, "As far as I know, not long ago, all the people from Anbu, Genbu, and the Elders went to investigate, and even Hokage, Danzo and others showed up."

"What? Does Manjun know what's going on?!"

Fuyue was startled and stared at Uchiha Man.

The whole village felt the movement in the morning, but there was no alarm in the village, and the people he managed to gather in Konoha Anbu only knew that this matter alarmed Hokage, that's all.

"Actually, it's not a big deal. It is said that Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas, is sparring with his apprentice Senju Roshu, but the scene is a bit amazing!" Uchiha said with a light smile.

"...is that so......"

Fuyue frowned.

Just learning from each other can cause such a movement. How strong do these two people have to be to do it?

It was really unexpected.

He had already heard about the power of Orochimaru, but Senju Roshu, it is said that he awakened Mu Dun, and there were even rumors in the village that he would become the next Senju Hashirama.

Fuyue didn't care about this at first, but after knowing the news, Fuyue couldn't help feeling a little irritable.

The Qianshou family has Tsunade, and now the rope tree seems to have grown up completely, and the rise is in sight, while the Uchiha family is...

"It's not just that, the patriarch, my informant in the elders got more important information." Uchiha said full of words.

"It is said that Orochimaru pointed out something in front of someone."

Uchiha said solemnly, "He said that the third ninja war has begun."

As Uchiha Man said these words, the atmosphere in the house instantly became heavy, only the sound of Mikoto coaxing Itachi outside the house.

"Is the news accurate?"

Fuyue held the teacup, the blue tea reflected in his dark eyes, except for a sigh, but there were not too many surprises.

The dispute in the country of rain, the hatred left over from the Second Ninja World War, the ambition to expand between countries... The contradictions in the Ninja world have always been so obvious, probably only after a few years of rest, ready to break out at this moment That's it.

For the Uchiha family, whether there is a chance to enter the battlefield and how the village will treat them are the issues that Fuyue should consider. The situation of the last ninja war is still fresh in my memory, and Fuyue feels more and more anxious!

He is well aware of Konoha's current strength. If the war situation is not tense, the Uchiha family may still be guarded by Konoha in the war. This is a huge irony for Zeng Jin's Konoha family!

And if the war situation is in jeopardy...the Uchiha clan, who has been silent for a long time now, will there be a chance...

"The news is accurate. There were actually quite a few people present at the time, and it wasn't a matter of one or two days. After all, this will be a war that will affect the ninja world. Orochimaru got some wind in the country of rain. Not surprisingly."

Uchiha spread his hands, "As the elder in charge of intelligence, I just report this news to you. You are the patriarch. How to face the upcoming war still needs you to make a decision."

"Thank you Manjun, I will pay attention." Fuyue nodded.

"It's a bit disappointing to talk about such a heavy topic on this happy day, but..."

"It's okay, this is the big thing that the clansmen should really pay attention to."

Fuyue looked at his wife who was teasing the child outside the house, "I don't know what this war means to Itachi."

"Hehe, Young Master Itachi is naturally too young to keep up with this war, but with his talent, he is destined to have his own stage in the future." He said with a smile.

"Oh? Are you so optimistic about Itachi?"

Fuyue's brows could not help but twitch.

Ordinary people would only think that what Man said was a compliment to him, but Fuyue frowned and looked serious.

Fuyue always seems to have such a depressed expression.

"As a ninja, I believe in my vision." Uchiha Man is equally serious.

"I agree with the strength of the seventh elder very much, so let me borrow your auspicious words."

After the two looked at each other for a while, Fuyue said lightly.

He stood up first and left his seat with a preoccupied look on his face, looking at Mikoto and Itachi from time to time, obviously lost in thought.

"Hehe, Fuyue, you are the most rational person in this rotten family!"

Looking at Fuyue who was leaving, Man also stood up, with a playful and profound light flashing in his eyes.

As a senior of the family, he was secretly instructed to pay attention to Fuyue and his descendants. Man has his own understanding of Fuyue.

Whether it was the radicals who tried to stage a coup d'etat or the conservatives who advocated harmonious coexistence with the village, Fuyue did not express his support. Like himself, what he did was for the benefit of the family first.

However, this is not to say that he has no idea about the conflicts between the village and the family, but that he has always weighed the pros and cons, and it has not caused it!

In other words, as the patriarch, he is willing to compromise with the village at present, which means that he feels that the family and Konoha have no chance of winning, so he chooses to forbear.

And if he thinks that the time is right, Konoha is no longer able to suppress Uchiha, or when the family is mortally threatened, Man believes that Fuyue will break with the village without hesitation!

Fuyue will not clearly state his position and label it as a faction, because he is always paying attention to the [time] and [situation] of the ninja world.

The forbearance now is because he feels that the family has absolutely no chance of success~lightnovelpub.net~ And if Konoha treats the family kindly, Fuyue will not necessarily break the family and the village.

To put it bluntly, Fuyue's starting point is always in the interests of the family. This is also the reason why he, like Man, attaches great importance to the collection of intelligence and the seventh elder of Man.

"The fate of the family is not determined by personal emotions. With such a measure, you are indeed the most suitable person to be the patriarch, Fuyue."

Uchiha said in a low voice, "However, you who like to weigh the pros and cons so much, that all you think about success or failure first, will eventually become hesitant and dull, and you will lose the courage to make a decision!

The situation in the future will definitely change rapidly, can your eyes really be able to see clearly?"

The full moon banquet was held until evening, and the clansmen left the Fuyue mansion in a hustle and bustle.

Repelling the ninja beside him, Uchiha Man walked alone into the deep alley on the street.

After repeatedly confirming that there was no one around, Uchiha opened the trench coat at the neckline, revealing a brass pendant.

This pendant is very fine in workmanship, showing the appearance of a mouse head. The two scarlet eyes are like magnificent gems, releasing a faint brilliance.

Uchiha grabbed the mouse head pendant and injected chakra into it, and the pendant released an imperceptible wave.

"brush--"

A figure appeared silently behind Uchiha Man. He was wearing a black hood, and a pale mask covered his appearance, only a pair of scarlet eyes could be seen under the mask. .

Man Ruo was aware of it, turned around and bowed respectfully towards him.

"Lord Uchiha Ryu!"
