The Nanga River is a large river that runs through the entire Konoha Ninja Village. The basin of this large river was once the place where the Uchiha clan lived.
Nanga Shrine, the ancestral temple of the Uchiha clan, is located in the downstream area of the Nanga River.
When Uchiha Yuan arrived at Nanga Shrine, he noticed that there were several eyes on him in the dark.
Then a security team member appeared at the gate of the shrine and said respectfully to Uchiha Yuan: "Master Yuan, please go this way."
Uchiha Yuan nodded in response, but just as he was about to enter Nanga Shrine, he suddenly stopped, turned around and looked in a distant direction, and then his eyes stayed at another location for a few seconds.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Uchiha Yuan's mouth, and then he stepped into Nanga Shrine.
At the same time, somewhere around Nanga Shrine, three ANBU wearing animal face masks were squatting on the branches of a big tree and secretly observing everything at Nanga Shrine.
On a big tree in the other direction, there were also several masked root ninjas monitoring Nanga Shrine.
These two locations were exactly where Uchiha Yuan's eyes had noticed before.
The Nanga Shrine was quiet and empty, but Uchiha Bubu could feel many obscure auras looming around him. If not for Uchiha Bubu's strong and keen perception, it would be difficult for others to detect it.
The owners of these auras are the Uchiha clan members responsible for guarding Nanga Shrine.
Under the leadership of the security team members, Uchiha Buchi came to the main hall of the shrine; then the security team members who led the way opened the seventh tatami on the right side of the main hall, revealing a downward entrance.
"Master Yuan, please enter from this way."
Uchiha Yuan's figure flashed and he came to the bottom of the main hall of the shrine through the entrance.
An underground hall appeared in front of Uchiha Yuan. At this moment, the hall was filled with dozens of members of the Uchiha clan.
In the bustling hall, the Uchihas were discussing something and it was noisy.
Uchiha Yuan glanced around and noticed that all the Uchiha people who appeared here were the main members of the family, and everyone had an identity worthy of attention in the family.
He also saw a few familiar faces among them, such as Uchiha Eiji, who was sitting quietly behind his father and brother.
He also saw Shisui talking to Uchiha Fugaku, who was sitting at the head of the hall.
Behind Uchiha Fugaku sat Uchiha Itachi. He was observing everyone with a scrutinizing gaze, and then met Uchiha Yuan's eyes.
"Captain, sit here."
Hearing a call, Uchiha Yuan retracted his gaze from Itachi, and then saw Uchiha Bronze Tiger waving to him in the crowd. Next to him were the other two captains of the third team sitting cross-legged.
Uchiha Yuan sat down next to Uchiha Bronze Tiger. He noticed that several eyes around him stayed on him for a while.
He raised his eyes and noticed that both Fugaku and Shisui glanced at him; then he turned in another direction, and Uchiha Eiji was looking at him with some surprise.
Seeing that Uchiha Yuan saw him, Uchiha Eiji stood up and sat down in front of Uchiha Yuan after hesitating for a moment.
"Yuan, I didn't expect you to come to the clan meeting. That's right. With your current reputation and strength, you are fully qualified to participate in the clan meeting."
Uchiha Eiji said with a complicated look, "Unlike me, I can only come here to observe as a father and brother, and I have no right to express my opinion."
At this time, Uchiha Yuan had noticed that the topic being discussed by the clan members around him was about the fifth generation Hokage's election. He immediately realized that the purpose of holding this clan meeting was probably that Fugaku wanted to run for the fifth generation Hokage.
Looking up and down at Uchiha Eiji, Uchiha Bubu said: "Eiji, long time no see, you have become a lot stronger."
Uchiha Eiji said: "I have been receiving training from my family. I heard that I wanted to compete with you again after you returned to the village. Then I heard that you fought against eight squad captains alone.
Yuan, you are really a monster. "
Uchiha Yuan laughed, "Eiji, thank you for the compliment."
Uchiha Eiji suddenly looked at Uchiha Abuchi seriously and said: "Abuchi, I want to continue to compete with you in the future; I know I am not your opponent, but only by fighting with you can I discover my own strength. shortcomings.
It's just that I'm afraid I won't be able to take out the ninjutsu scrolls as reward. The remaining ninjutsu scrolls at home are all secrets passed down by the family and cannot be passed on to others without my father's consent. "
Uchiha Abuchi said indifferently: "Eiji, just come to me; I don't need all kinds of ninjutsu scrolls anymore. Orochimaru-senpai has more and more advanced ninjutsu secrets."
Next, Uchiha Eiji asked Uchiha Yuan some questions about cultivation.
"Everyone be quiet."
After a moment, a voice interrupted the communication between the two, and the underground hall was silent for a moment. Everyone looked at Uchiha Fugaku, who was sitting in the first place.
Uchiha Fugaku looked at each other and several family elders sitting on both sides, then looked at everyone and said: "Everyone should know that the village has been informed that the fifth generation Hokage will be selected. What do you think of this?"
"Haha, needless to say, this is an opportunity for the family. There is no one in the village who is more powerful than our Uchiha clan. This time, the position of Hokage belongs to our Uchiha."
An Uchiha immediately spoke.
"Yes, the position of Hokage must belong to our Uchiha."
"Chief, we support you in running for office."
"Hmph, the clan leader is running for Hokage. I wonder who in the village dares to oppose it."
Hearing the shouts of everyone, Uchiha Fugaku smiled slightly and said: "I really want to run for the Fifth Hokage. It has been decades, and the position of Hokage should fall to our Uchiha clan." 33
Listening to the words of the clansmen, Shisui frowned.
As a double agent for the village and family, Shisui knew very well the attitude of Sarutobi Hiruzen and other senior officials towards the Uchiha clan.
Therefore, when he heard that Fugaku was planning to run for the Fifth Hokage, he immediately felt that something was wrong. Putting aside the Third Generation's attitude, the other three advisors and elders were absolutely opposed to it, and he was very clear about this.
"Clan leader, I object."
As Zhisui spoke up, everyone who was originally excited instantly fell silent, and pairs of sharp eyes fell on Zhisui.
Someone immediately scolded and asked: "Shisui, do you think the clan leader is not qualified to take over the position of Hokage!"
Fugaku put away his smile and asked: "Shisui, why do you object."
Shisui said: "Clan leader, I don't think you are not qualified to become Hokage; I object only because I know that the village is unlikely to be willing to let the position of Hokage fall on our Uchiha clan.
For example, Elder Danzo, who is in charge of the clan, has the toughest attitude and will definitely prevent you from running for office. "
Some people died, but not completely...
