The Great Elder House.

The sound of the wind blowing on the bamboo forest came from outside the window. The elder looked at the secret letter in front of him, his narrowed eyes flashed with scarlet red.

At this time, a sound of footsteps came from the corridor outside the house, and soon a figure knelt outside the door. Judging from the figure reflected through the door, it was the servant responsible for sending the message.

"Sir, news has been heard from the banquet. I'm waiting for you to arrive now."

Gentle and respectful words came from outside.

"Well, I understand." The elder responded lightly without turning around.

The figure outside the door left, and the place became silent again.

"Hmph! I can't tell that guy has such courage, but... I am the one who controls the family."

A sneer appeared on the corner of the elder's mouth, and then he saw the secret letter on the table again, and he couldn't help but frown and looked suspicious.

"But who is sending this information here?"

The Uchiha clan is isolated from the outside, and it is probably difficult for outsiders to do this, so he quickly thought about it inside the family, and even several figures appeared in his mind, all of whom were the tribe members around Uchiha Fugaku.

In his opinion, the only person who can obtain such confidential information is to follow Uchiha Fugaki. Otherwise, even if he noticed something strange, he would not have known it so clearly.

But now it was not the right time to think about such things. He immediately stopped his thoughts, got up to tidy up his appearance, and went out to the banquet.

As a great clan who has been passed down from the chaotic Warring States Period to the present, Uchiha has many festivals that have been preserved to this day. Although the significance of these festivals being established at the time no longer exists, this is undoubtedly the one that Uchiha misses the most, which means that they are unique.

This is the case with today's festival, and just from the fact that the celebration is the Nanga Shrine, it is enough to show the special status of this festival.

When the Great Elder brought his servants to the Nanga Shrine, Uchiha Fuga, who was responsible for the various matters of the celebration, was commanding the placement of items. The third elder called on him to arrive, and then he put down his busy work and saluted in front of the Great Elder, with his posture as respectful as usual.

"Great Elder, you are highly respected. Please come and preside over the celebration ceremony later." Uchiha Tokugaku said.

"Haha, you'll do it. After all, I'm just an elder. Now I'm the one who controls the direction of the family, Fuyuki, you, the patriarch." The elder chuckled and shook his head.

The two of them were humble and gave in, but according to previous practice, Uchiha Fugaku would continue to maintain a humble attitude and at the same time advocated that the elders would do this kind of ritual work, and the patriarch, he retreated aside.

The same is true at this moment. Uchiha Fugao continued to compliment a few words and expressed his respect for the elder, who immediately stopped refusing and accepted the job.

During this period, the second elder, who had always followed the leader of the great elder, was also advised the great elder to agree to Uchiha Fugao's request. As for the third elder, who was irritable and did not know how to cover up, he had a little complaint, thinking that such a thing should be done by Uchiha Fugao, the clan leader, was considered to be considered as the old courtesy. However, he only said one sentence, and Uchiha Fugao was staring fiercely by the side, and then his lips were silenced and stopped talking.

The elder lowered his eyelids and put them in this way. He sneered in his heart, and then he did the job as usual.

The scene took a while to adjust and finally the celebration opened.

The Great Elder took the stage to recite the words and recite the words to commemorate his ancestors. The Uchiha tribe members were not surprised by his appearance. Even judging from their reactions, it can be said that they had long been accustomed to it.

Uchiha Fuga, who was standing on the bottom of the stage, had a calm face, but his eyebrows were slightly frowned, and if he had not been close to him, he would definitely not have noticed it.

Listening to the thick voice of the Great Elder on the stage chanting, he looked up at the other side. The second and third elders standing there seemed to feel something. They followed him and nodded casually to signal.

After making a brief statement, the elder waved his hand and let the tribesmen enjoy the banquet freely. He came to the chief to sit down. Then Uchiha Fugaku, the second and third elders also came over and sat down with him.

The second elder and Uchiha Fugao flattered him and drank a few glasses with the eldest elder. The third elder, who had always been good at wine, also drank a lot at this time. After a few glasses of sake entered his stomach, the atmosphere gradually became relaxed.

But at this moment, the Great Elder seemed to not hold it firmly, and the wine glass in his hand suddenly fell to the ground and fell to pieces with a bang.

This crisp sound did not disturb the banquet. Even if the wine glass of the elder was broken, the atmosphere around the elders and the clan leader was stagnant. Although it was only a moment, it was extremely obvious to the few people who had ulterior motives.

"Brother, are you drunk? You can't even hold the wine glass?" The third elder asked in confusion as if he was not affected by the atmosphere.

While saying this, he did not forget to put the sake from his cup into his mouth and enjoy the drink.

"As aged, even his hands are not stable." The elder laughed at himself.

At this time, Uchiha Fugao had already called the servant to get a wine glass and gave it to the Great Elder with a calm expression.

"The Great Elder was at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period and was not old at all."

Hearing his flattering words, the third elder who filled the wine alone rolled his eyes quietly, but he was too lazy to pay attention to it. He had long been used to this kind of thing, and even with his personality, he would not care about it. After all, instead of being so futile and humiliating, it would be better to taste a glass of Chinese wine.

"Fugao doesn't understand me." The elder shook his head and sighed. He took the wine glass handed to him, but did not put it down. He only looked at the empty glass and said, "But the wine glass fell down, which means I can't drink this wine anymore. Fugao, what do you think?"

As he said that, he raised his eyes and looked at Uchiha Tokugaki, who was in front of him with a respectful attitude.

Uchiha Fugaku's eyes were lowered, and he did not respond immediately, but a wave had already set off under his calm expression.

He has realized something.

"Brother, it's just a wine glass. If you fall, you'll fall. Besides, you can drink when you change to a new cup." The second elder smiled and said, "Today is a rare festival for the family. Since the ceremony is held, everyone should be satisfied and have fun."

He said that he had already raised his glass and stood up to the elder, and said with a smile: "I will toast you, brother, brother. Over the years, the family has been able to maintain such vitality under the exclusion of the village. They all rely on your leadership. Fuyu, third brother, come with me to toast the elder."
