Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto are similar in age, less than one year apart, but their parents are quite different.

Uchiha Fugaku will turn thirty-eight in just over a month, and his wife Uchiha Mikoto has just celebrated her thirty-third birthday.

Uchiha Mikoto is more than four years older than Uzumaki Kushina, and Namikaze Minato is the same age as Uzumaki Kushina.

From this series of age differences, it can be seen that there are still many large age gaps between men and women who get married in the ninja world.

If the ages of Furugi Fusui and Momiji were swapped, it would be perfectly normal. They are less than seven years younger, so they can barely be considered the same age.

But there is a big gap between Kosugi Bosui and Uchiha Fugaku.

It is indeed strange to discuss parenting with an "uncle" who is nearly seventeen years older.

Originally, Fusugi Fusui planned to hold the first official meeting at the hot spring hotel - Myojinkan, but Uchiha Fugaku strongly requested to host them at home, so he had to change the plan.

It would not be wise to blatantly visit Uchiha's old house at this time, but if you don't go at this time, you may not have the chance in the future.

It's not that I'm worried that the Uchiha family or the Leaf Village will take any unfavorable actions. They socialize openly and openly, with almost no cover. Anyone who wants to know must already know it.

Fusugi Fusui was a little hesitant because Uchiha Fugaku proposed some attractive deal that was hard to refuse.

As for whether Fugaku Uchiha himself has activated the Mangekyo Sharingan, used magical child skills to control the young governor, and helped the Uchiha family to rescue the siege, Fugatsu Busui, who is not bad in his own strength, also has Unochi who is always watching in his body.

The goddess is providing help, so you shouldn't be easily tricked.

To put it bluntly, controlling the ambition of others and destroying one's own prestige will not be of much use. After all, Konoha Village is a ninja village with a relatively mature individual system. It is not easy for external forces to reach out.

Even if Uchiha Fugaku had a secret trick like Betsu Tenjin's, he would not waste his precious opportunity on Furusugi Fusui.

Early the next morning, Fusugi Fusui visited as promised, walked on the simple streets covered with Uchiha emblems, and successfully entered the gate of Uchiha Fugaku's house.

Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Mikoto are both semi-formal home clothes, which somewhat show an easy-going and intimate style.

The clan leader's prestige makes the slightly old-fashioned Uchiha Fugaku look a bit serious. The elegant Uchiha Mikoto is still beautiful, and she doesn't look like she has given birth to two children at all. She has the feminine style of a "beautiful witch" at home.

, showing all her virtuousness, is still a little different from Hongye’s light and mature elder sister.

Itachi Uchiha was not at home as usual, and Sasuke Uchiha did not return from school.

After bringing the tea and snacks, Uchiha Mikoto left, and Fusugi Fusui and Uchiha Fugaku sat on their knees opposite each other.

"It's a bit unexpected. I don't know that the young governor wants to meet me at this time. What advice can you give me?"

Uchiha Fugaku was very aware of his family's situation. It was really difficult. Even though he had the title of clan leader, he was unable to reverse the situation.

Gu Shan Bu Shui responded calmly:

"Obviously it's for the sake of Xiang Rin and Zuosuke. Of course, this is just an excuse. I myself have stayed in Konoha Village for more than ten years. This is the first time I have gone deep into the Uchiha clan. I am a little curious..."

"How does it feel?"

"It's quite ordinary, no different from outside..."

It was originally a village, but a high wall was erected to divide it into two parts.

The proportion of ninjas in the Uchiha tribe is a little higher than that of ordinary people, but it is also limited. Most of them are still villagers with little fighting ability, and they just bear the name of Uchiha.

In the ninja world, bloodline can indeed determine many things, but it is not omnipotent.

The vast majority of family ninjas are not far behind civilian ninjas in terms of strength. Geniuses like Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi are even directly on par with the second echelon.

In terms of blood inheritance, there seems to be an obvious phenomenon that the strong take all. A stone's throw of family luck, a few geniuses occupy eight buckets, and the rest are divided into two buckets.

This also makes the powerful ninja clan attach great importance to the qualifications of direct bloodline. An outstanding heir will most likely guarantee a worry-free inheritance for three generations of the family.

The intimidating power of one supreme master is greater than that of countless mediocre people.

Many ordinary Uchiha tribesmen have gathered together to form a ferocious tiger with teeth and claws. Only with the blessing of the wings of genius can they have the possibility of soaring into the sky. Otherwise, they will not be able to escape the end of competing with bears.

"The Young Governor is a sensible person. The so-called Uchiha have long lost the power they once had, but they can't bear to admit that they are weak..."

Uchiha Fugaku sighed lightly,

"My compatriots are still immersed in the prestige established by their ancestors and are pretentious, but they have never thought about the changes outside. Many small ninjas and civilian ninjas have greatly improved their strength. They are no longer the weaklings who were manipulated by Uchiha and Senju during the Warring States Period.

Already."

In the final analysis, the threshold for ninjas continues to lower. If it were not for the limited resources of the ninja world and the inability to support many full-time ninjas, and the continued training of a large number of children with average qualifications, the efforts and rewards are not proportional, and the self-proclaimed ninja clan would be in a worse situation.

After savoring Uchiha Fugaku's words, Fusugi Fusui asked intriguingly:

"A few months ago, I asked Uchiha Shisui what his estimate of the worst outcome was. Now I also want to ask the patriarch, what kind of realistic ending are you looking forward to?"

"Uchiha is no longer able to save himself. He is like meat on a chopping board, ready to be slaughtered by others. I am afraid that even the plants and trees on the roadside are being watched, so there are no conditions for requesting foreign aid..."

"You are so strong that you have no friends!"

Gu Shanbu smacked his mouth with water and laughed softly.

Nowadays, this description is of course a joke, but it was not a joke decades ago. Even more than ten years ago, it was enough to be proud of.

He has no friends, and he doesn't bother to make friends with the weak. In the entire ninja world, there are only Senju and Uchiha who are equal.

The more glorious the past, the more desolate it is when it declines.

Since the second generation of Hokage, successive village chiefs have been studying various forbidden techniques. Danzo Shimura has also worked tirelessly to seek the power of tailed beasts, wood escape and sharingan. Although most of the experiments have not seen the light of day, they can be considered proactive in the end.

attempt.

In the Uchiha family, which is obsessed with its past glory, almost no top genius wants to become the second Madara Uchiha, but they are drooling at the position of Hokage.

Clinging to superficial ambitions without maintaining the true foundation, by the time this generation produces two or three reliable geniuses, it will be too late.

"Master Patriarch, why don't you take tough measures to stop those young people who don't know how high the sky is?"

"I can't take risks. Once the methods are too tough, the family may be divided."

"whispering sound……"

Gushan Bushui, who couldn't help but laugh, said half-jokingly,

"If the Uchiha family had split into two branches earlier, I'm afraid the situation would be slightly better now..."

At least part of it can be preserved so that it won't be stewed in a pot.

To put it bluntly, the pride of the Uchiha family has been deeply rooted in the bones. To outsiders, it may seem like a foolish act of seeking perfection, but in their eyes, it is a matter of course.

Didn't Uchiha Fugaku ever think of retaining part of the seeds and playing a cruel trick so that the family could pass on the legacy no matter what the outcome was?

When encountering difficulties, it seems to be the instinct of the Uchiha people to strike with a big stick. Whether they can defeat them or not is not a consideration.

"Gu Shan...have you obtained specific information?"

"No!"

Gu Shan Bu Shui flatly denied it.

Two families with the same long history don't have much contact with each other. Apart from official matters, they don't have many personal relationships.

"Other than worrying about the civil strife in Konoha Village, which will give other countries an opportunity to take advantage of it, the Kosugi family has nothing else to worry about."

"Is this also the daimyo's attitude?"

Gu Shan Bu Shui replied very tactfully:

"This has always been our position."

"Understood!"

Uchiha Fugaku was relieved.

Sure enough, there were no conditions that could convince other forces to lend a helping hand.

There is not even a single word of support now.

Those fighting factions in the clan thought that what they did was very secretive, but in fact every move was under the observation of others. Once their unrealistic delusion was exposed, they would hysterically curse Uchiha Itachi, thinking that it was

He betrayed his family and leaked precious information.

With only a position and no thinking, the so-called truth naturally doesn't matter.

Next, the two of them talked a lot, mostly lies.

After coming out of the Uchiha clan, Kosugi Bosui took one last look at the rather chilly streets and left without looking back.

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]

"Next time I come back, it will be a different story."

…

One day later, Furugi Fusui and the third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, had an informal meeting at Myojinkan.

Since leaving a few months ago, there has been no contact for a while. The two of them seemed to have known each other for a long time, and they had some special conversations.

The main purpose of Gushan Water Bushing is to prepare for the arrival of the daimyo. Some details still need to be discussed in advance, such as the arrangement of guards.

Although there were no attacks against big nobles during the Chuunin Exams, what if it happened?

The "Konoha Collapse Plan" jointly launched by Orochimaru and Sunagakure Village treats everyone equally and targets them all.

From a castle perspective, Hiruzen Sarutobi is undoubtedly much stronger than Fugaku Uchiha.

The two discussed for nearly three hours, but the other party didn't mention the meeting between Fugatsu Bosui and Uchiha Fugaku yesterday.
To be continued...
