At Nanga Shrine, two pavilions were temporarily built, one large and one small, for ordinary Uchiha clan members and elders to rest.
The snowflakes were falling sparsely and gradually, and it was already December in Konoha. Looking at the thick dark clouds in the sky, it was destined to be a sleepless and heavy snowfall.
Uchihahiko stretched out a hand and caught the snowflake. Just from his fingers that were as dry as tree trunks, you can tell that he is very old.
Uchihahiko put his five fingers together and held the snowflake in his palm, which was cold. In half an hour, it's the clan leader's succession ceremony.
Uchiha Hiko was very popular in the Uchiha clan back then. Based on his qualifications, he should have been given the position of elder.
But since Jing's death, he has completely left the center of family power. Without the inevitable strife for power that hurts harmony, this "come out" seems better.
Even some old people who were not familiar with him were happy to talk a few words. Even the third elder Uchiha Hiro, who had just retired from a high position, and the deputy captain of the police force, Uchiha Han, who was fucked to the end just last year, were no exception.
Such a group of old guys who once or still hold real power, have qualifications, merits and family background, speak freely, especially Uchiha Hiro, who is now yelling at Chen who is about to take over as the clan leader.
It was nothing more than reform, and even the police force that had been in his hands for thirty years was lost. Is this the Uchiha clan leader, or the village clan leader
Not long after Hiro Uchiha retired, he became famous for his irritable temper.
Listening to his cursing, the old people around him were silent and no one echoed him. Uchiha Han, who was once Uchiha-san's right-hand man, did not dare to answer a word.
Uchiha Hiro couldn't get over his anger after scolding him for a full minute. He was about to talk about the death of former clan leader Uchiha-san when he saw Uchiha Han from the corner of his eye and curled his lips and winked at him. Just when he was wondering, he fiercely Got punched.
Uchiha Hiro was stunned. He turned his head and punched him in the face again. His nose and face were suddenly bruised and swollen.
Finally seeing that it was the dirty trick of the old bastard, Uchiha Hiro, Uchiha Hiro was furious.
He immediately punched the opponent in the head and cursed angrily: "Uchihahiko, I've wanted to beat you for a day or two.
What did you say back then? !
He kept saying that he would lead the family to glory together, but not long after the first ninja war ended, he became a shrunken old bastard!
What, I scolded that ignorant Uchiha Tatsumi, what did it do to you? ! He's not the clan leader yet, it's none of your business! "
The two old guys were immediately pulled apart by their respective old men.
Taking advantage of the opportunity for the opponent to curse, Uchiha Hiko, who was pulled back, kicked Uchiha Hiro several times with the legendary egg-chasing shadowless kick in the ninja world.
He said angrily: "Don't get the fuck involved with Chen! Okay, if you scold him, then I want to ask you, who saved you in the first ninja war
It's a mirror!
Who told me personally that he wanted to support Jing, and also said that when he has a granddaughter, she will be his daughter-in-law
After Kagami's death, you were bribed to become the third elder in Uchiha Mountain. After being an elder for so many years, you feel that you are something extraordinary, right? "
"Don't think I don't know that your son has occupied several mineral properties in the Hao family and is making more than a fortune every day.
With the convenience of the police force, you bully the merchants and civilian ninjas in the village. You have brought shame on the Uchiha clan! "
Uchiha Hiro was stunned for a moment, and then the three Magatama Sharingan eyes were revealed, and he glared and cursed:
"Fuck you, tell me clearly, who has taken over the clan's minerals and who has oppressed the common people?! My son cannot do such a shameful thing!"
Uchiha Hiko didn't know where he got the strength to break free from the pull of several old people, and punched Uchiha Hiro again.
"What the whole clan knows, only you, a dim-sighted old immortal, don't know!"
The entire attic fell silent for a moment.
Uchiha Hiro looked around, but Uchiha Han was still calm and speechless. Many old people avoided the eyes of this former "third elder".
Finally, his lips trembled, and he waved his arms, refusing to be "supported" by anyone. He slumped down and sat on the ground, gasping for air.
Uchiha Hiko was still angry, so he stepped forward and kicked Uchiha Hiro in the air.
The Sixth Elder was so frightened that he quickly hugged him tightly.
If this really goes ahead, the clan leader succession ceremony will become the funeral of the third elder, and the Uchiha clan will become a big joke.
Uchihahiko didn't even think about actually kicking him. He took a deep breath and patted the back of the sixth elder's hand.
The latter slowly let go of his hand, and Uchiha Hiko sat in front of Uchiha Hiro, facing each other.
He turned his head and looked at the sky where the snow was falling, and sighed softly: "Hiro, we old guys who are half buried in the ground are always talking about restoring Uchiha to the glory of the Warring States Period."
"I know that you are not reluctant to give up the power in your hands, nor are you people who want to take advantage of the clan.
What you fear most in your heart is that this family, like the Thousand Hands, will suddenly decline and disappear.
You stick together, and you exclude other families in Konoha, and even the Third Hokage, but the more you do this, the further we will drift away from the village. "
"You are not blind, would you know what Chen has done these years? Tell me with your conscience, has he ever brought shame to the family on the battlefield
Invading Kirigakure Village, capturing Hanzo, and defeating Iwagakure Village. Who in the clan can achieve these feats? Can he resurrect Uchiha Mountain
Or can you, a third elder who can't even control your son, do it? ? "
Uchiha Yan withdrew his gaze and looked at Uchiha Hiro, "King owes nothing to the clan, and Chen is even more so.
Since we can't lead the family to glory, and we can't do it well even if we want to, then we can just leave it to the young people.
No matter what happens, don't hold back. "
Uchiha Hiko patted Uchiha Hiro on the shoulder, then stood up, bent down, helped him stand up, and helped pat away the dust from the shoe prints on his chest that he had stepped on.
Uchiha Hiko, Uchiha Hiro, the sixth elder, the seventh elder, the four old people walked to the door side by side.
There was heavy snowfall, and hundreds of Uchiha ninjas were divided into two battle formations from east to west, leaving a line of path in the middle.
The genin, chunin, and jounin were all in a clear hierarchy, and they were all lined up with an astonishing momentum.
Mikoto, Kyoko and Obito stood in the attic, holding their breath and looking at the Nanga Shrine with blazing eyes.
There was no one on the Nanga Shrine, except for a six-rayed fan standing upright.
The great elder Uchiha Yun stood below the shrine, holding an ordinary bamboo strip lantern with the Uchiha clan emblem and the magatama symbolizing the Sharingan on it.
Soon, a young man wearing Uchiha uniform appeared at the torii.
He walked through the crowd, walked to the great elder's side, and took the ordinary bamboo strip lantern.
This is a tradition preserved by the Uchiha clan from the Warring States Period. It is hoped that the new clan leader can take over the light that swayed along with the troubled times, strive to pass on the fire, and lead the family to everlasting prosperity.
Chen held a lantern and slowly walked up to Nanga Shrine.
The great elder looked at the back, put his hands in his sleeves, and smiled from ear to ear.
Chen pulled out the uchiwa fan with his right hand, continued to walk up the steps, and stood in the center, with the Mangekyō Sharingan appearing in his eyes. Then he held the uchiwa fan and shouted suddenly: "Uchiha!"
"Uchiha!" The ninja below also shouted suddenly.
The snow became even more chaotic, and the Uchiha ninja who shook off the snow all over his body became even more impressive.
…
…
At the end of Konoha's thirty-ninth year, the Uchiha clan leader's position, which had been vacant for five years, finally ushered in a successor.
This year, there was a heavy snowfall in the Fire Country.
