"..., Clan Chief, the above is everything that happened in the clan after you left."
"During this period, no foreigners ever provoked us."
"Similarly, we have not come into contact with other people. The younger generations of the clan are also working hard to train themselves. Except for necessary shopping and schooling, they rarely go out."
"They all hope that one day they can take revenge with their own hands."
Uchiha Nashu stood upright in front of Ara, reporting everything that had happened recently in an orderly manner.
The dark and dull days of the past six months have completely faded away the childishness, and the perseverance and responsibility are revealed on the cheeks.
"However, making ends meet is also a problem. Although from the current perspective, as long as some expenditures are tightened, the clan's savings are enough to continue to support the clan's life needs for one or even two years, in the long run it will inevitably become the most fatal problem."
"Besides, the juniors' ninja tools also need to be replaced."
Saying this, Nashu's face became more worried.
Of course he also knew that the patriarch wanted to protect them.
After all, the Uchiha clan has many enemies outside, and with these unique eyes, it is normal for them to be coveted by others.
but!
It is unrealistic and incorrect to leave everything to one person to handle and solve!
"Master Patriarch, let us go out too."
"Please believe in our strength and we will never embarrass the Uchiha clan!"
As he spoke, his voice became more urgent and excited.
"no."
Ara rubbed his temples and responded concisely.
There was undeniable firmness in his tone.
"But........"
Nashu wanted to say something else, but was blocked by what Ara said behind him.
"Also, don't talk about revenge in the future."
"This is an order, pass it on."
At this moment, Nashu's thoughts were at a standstill.
His eyes were stagnant, his expression was incomprehensible, and his hands hanging by his sides had a tendency to curl up.
'What did the patriarch say just now? '
'It's me, did you hear me wrong? '
After a while, he got out of this state.
"Lord Patriarch?"
He didn't say anything further, just asked a question.
Maybe, I really heard it wrong.
That hatred that goes deep into the bone marrow!
That night that is engraved into the soul!
The hatred that forces all tribesmen to continuously squeeze their potential!
Now, let them give up revenge and let them forget their hatred. How can this be done?
For a moment, Nashu felt that all his persistence and all his obsession with living were falling apart at this moment.
"Well, stop talking about revenge."
Huang added again.
After returning from Caoyin Village, he has been thinking about one thing.
That weird demonic sound that always accompanies killing, that inexplicable impulse that drives him to keep bleeding, depriving, and destroying!
Why did it arise?
Uncle Yashiro once reminded him not to be dominated by hatred.
Kakashi also left words to prevent his world from being filled with hatred.
So, is that kind of illusion caused by hatred?
Looking back on his experiences over the past two years, Huang seemed to have spent them in blood. Except for the care of the shikigami and Izumi who accompanied him, there seemed to be no other colors in his life.
Is this the wrong path?
he does not know.
But Huang knew one thing very well. He didn't want the remaining tribesmen to be dominated by hatred and follow his own path.
Just let him bear all the hatred and sins alone.
The younger generations should have a better future.
"Master Patriarch, are you worried that we will become a burden?"
Uchiha Nashu suppressed his emotions and spoke slowly after a while.
He is no longer the proud young man he once was. He will no longer be impulsive when encountering problems and will think about them carefully.
Ara was the first person to realize that something was wrong with Itachi, and also the first person to want to get rid of him. How could it be possible to let go of the hatred accumulated over the years?
Therefore, there is one reason why the patriarch said this: he wants to solve all this alone!
"You remember that night."
"Do you still remember what Uncle Yashiro said?"
Huang didn't answer but asked instead.
Regarding Uchiha Yashiro's last words, Nashu also told him later.
"Remember."
"The eighth generation elders let us go and let us protect the younger members of the clan."
Uchiha Nashu's voice was heavy and even trembling.
"Well, so, I also hope that your power will be used for protection, not just for revenge."
"If there is a strong enemy invasion in the future, you will be the frontline defense."
"Protect the young clan members, this is your mission."
"Leave the matter of revenge to me."
Huang continued.
"But."
"But, Patriarch, you have done enough."
Nashu's tone became obviously gentler, and there were many more complex emotions in his eyes.
The young man in front of him was obviously five years younger than himself, but he had already withstood a lot of pressure that ordinary people could not imagine.
he knows.
In fact, they all know it.
Why can the Uchiha clan win such peace?
Why are the foreigners who have long been displeased with them able to maintain restraint when meeting them instead of provoking or ridiculing them?
That's all because of famine!
It is said that he ignored the oppression and directly brought down the clan leader of a certain clan in the councils of various clan chiefs and families, and made harsh words that could not be ignored.
This makes those families who are ready to take action dare not venture in or cause trouble!
He has really taken on too much for Uchiha.
Hearing this, Huang was slightly startled, and felt a little more inexplicable emotion in his heart.
After a while, he slowly responded:
"Who made me the patriarch..."
At the same time, a pure white cat with a small bell around its neck suddenly landed outside the window.
"Meow, meow~"
It called softly.
He looked straight at Huang.
A message from Nekomata has arrived.
"Then I'll take my leave first."
Uchiha Nashu bowed slightly.
"I will also pass on the patriarch's will."
Before leaving, he added.
Perhaps, Uchiha is about to change, and only by protecting the younger generation can they truly revive.
"Um."
Huang nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to the little white cat that jumped into his arms.
Those guys from the Country of Yu are the most critical part in leading his family out of Konoha in the future.
"Where is it? The message Nekomata wants to convey."
he asked aloud.
In response, the psychic kitten immediately raised its neck, revealing the golden little bell, and shook its little head very intelligently.
The meaning is clear, the desired message is in its bell.
After taking out the note placed in the bell and feeding a few small dried fish belonging to the Nine Lives Cat to the little white cat, Huangcai unfolded the note.
There are two lines of messages written on it:
'The person has been found and is suspected of going to the Kingdom of Water in the near future. '
'The survivors of the whirlpool have been sent to Granny Cat's stronghold and received blessings. '
