"Enough, all of you shut up!"
"Is this the time for infighting?"
"Makoto is arriving soon; I will ask for his advice then."
The Uchiha Grand Elder said this.
Obviously...
Both the Uchiha Grand Elder and Uchiha Makoto held pivotal weight in the family.
As soon as his voice fell, the Uchiha clansmen belonging to the new and old factions glared at each other, and the originally noisy quarreling quickly subsided.
The atmosphere in the room was inexplicably heavy.
The Uchiha Grand Elder looked at the scene before him and sighed in his heart.
As an elder of the family.
He knew the Uchiha Clan's personality all too well. From now on, the quarrels would only become more intense each time.
And regarding Uchiha martial virtue.... according to the records in the family classics, the Uchiha Clan would not be soft-hearted even when attacking their own clansmen.
Let's hope there won't be a bloody internal conflict in the future.
With a sigh, the Uchiha Grand Elder dismissed the people in the room, telling them to prepare to welcome Uchiha Makoto.
...
Not long after.
Uchiha Makoto appeared in the Uchiha Clan grounds.
Consequently, a large group of Uchiha clansmen quickly gathered around him.
"Lord Hikarikage."
"Lord Hikarikage."
Along the way.
People kept greeting Uchiha Makoto.
Uchiha Makoto responded to each one, his smile very genial, but his heart wasn't here at all. Instead, he was considering the division of the Uchiha.... He already intended to replace those clan elders in the family and promote a few young Uchiha who were open-minded and could speak up for Akatsuki Village at critical moments.
Especially regarding the discussion of Konoha's internal reform plan in two days.
Since he had successfully infiltrated, Uchiha Makoto would absolutely not let Senju Tobirama dominate this plan alone. He had to find a way to insert a few trustworthy Uchiha into it.
Putting aside those conservative Uchiha clansmen.
Generally speaking, there were definitely quite a few clansmen willing to serve Uchiha Makoto, but very few truly met Uchiha Makoto's standards.
This person must have qualified strength, be open-minded, and have their heart set on Akatsuki Village.
And the most important point, their mind must be flexible and able to withstand the pressure from Senju Tobirama.
Senju Tobirama, this naturally evil old Senju ghost, was not someone who could tolerate sand in his eyes.... Once Uchiha Makoto left Konoha, he would probably start his little tricks.
While Uchiha Makoto was thinking this, his gaze suddenly fell on a familiar-looking Uchiha.
"Is that Uchiha Kagami?"
A name appeared in Uchiha Makoto's mind.
Actually, among the younger generation of Uchiha, not many names could be remembered by Uchiha Makoto.
And Uchiha Kagami was one of them.
In the original Naruto story, he was a disciple of Senju Tobirama, had scenes showing his face, and his cause of death was unknown.
However, it was worth mentioning.
Senju Tobirama had a high evaluation of Uchiha Kagami, praising him as a person who transcended the boundaries of the clan and did his best for the village.
Thinking about it carefully...
Uchiha Kagami should be the most suitable candidate.
First of all, being accepted as a disciple by Senju Tobirama meant his comprehensive qualities were definitely qualified.
Secondly, he loves Uchiha! He loves Konoha!!
As long as he loves Uchiha and loves Konoha, Uchiha Makoto has the confidence to make him love Akatsuki Village too!
Of course.
The most important thing was Uchiha Kagami's identity.
With the identity of Senju Tobirama's disciple, there would be room for buffering and bargaining in many matters.
Subsequently, Uchiha Makoto took the initiative to greet Uchiha Kagami.
"Kagami, long time no see."
"Lord Hikarikage, you still remember me."
"Of course, I have always been concerned about the outstanding young people in the family."
Facing Uchiha Makoto's initiative to strike up a conversation.
Uchiha Kagami was obviously somewhat flattered, and a joyful smile appeared on his face.
However... the faces of the surrounding Uchiha clansmen showed strange expressions, with even a hint of hostility hidden in their eyes.
Such an abnormal thing.
Naturally attracted Uchiha Makoto's curiosity.
"Kagami, how has life been recently?"
"Everything is pretty good..."
"I don't think so. The clansmen in the family seem to have opinions about you... Let me guess, is it because of Senju Tobirama?"
"...."
Obviously.
From Uchiha Kagami's expression, Uchiha Makoto knew he guessed right.
Because of the fight for the Hokage position, the relationship between the Senju Clan and the Uchiha Clan had once reached a state of swords drawn and bows bent.
And Uchiha Kagami's identity was Senju Tobirama's disciple.
In the past, when the relationship between the two clans was passable, this identity wouldn't have brought any criticism to Uchiha Kagami.
But in the current environment, some resentful Uchiha clansmen would inevitably vent their anger on Uchiha Kagami because of Senju Tobirama.
This could be considered an undeserved disaster.
However, Uchiha Kagami's indifferent attitude made Uchiha Makoto appreciate him very much. He didn't take the clansmen's resentment to heart; instead, he made excuses for the family.
"Kagami, you are not wrong."
"I know, I believe this is just temporary."
"This attitude is very good, but it's completely insufficient. The relationship between Uchiha and Senju won't ease so easily. You have to do something yourself."
"But I.... what can I do?"
Uchiha Kagami's tone was confused.
He had actually always wanted to improve his terrible situation in the family, so he had tried and worked hard, but the result was terrible.
The fundamental reason for the deterioration of relations between the two clans was the position of Hokage.
This was an irreconcilable contradiction between the two sides.
"I will give you a chance. Uchiha must build a new Konoha!"
"New Konoha?"
Uchiha Makoto said this.
Uchiha Kagami still couldn't figure out Uchiha Makoto's intentions, but... this should be a good thing, right?
Just as the two were talking.
The Uchiha Grand Elder quietly appeared nearby. As soon as he saw Uchiha Makoto, he waved his hand.
Suddenly, rumbling sounds were heard all around the clan grounds.
In the sky, the prepared fireworks shot straight into the clouds, looking very beautiful.
"Makoto, welcome back to the family."
"Grand Elder, there's no need for such fanfare."
"It's not my first time back."
"Hahaha, Makoto, it's rare for you to return to the family, so the family naturally has to entertain you well."
The Uchiha Grand Elder behaved extremely enthusiastically.
Uchiha Makoto looked up in the direction of the Uchiha Grand Elder, a smile appearing on his face.
One who is unaccountably solicitous is hiding evil intentions; he naturally knew what the Uchiha Grand Elder wanted to do.
—He wanted Akatsuki Village's aid again.
After dealing with a series of superficial formalities, the Uchiha Grand Elder intended to take Uchiha Makoto to the room where they usually discussed matters.
And Uchiha Makoto certainly didn't forget Uchiha Kagami.
Under Uchiha Kagami's shocked gaze, he walked into the core of Uchiha power for the first time.
