Chapter 46: Seen Through by the Old Man



"Haha, I know you are not simple. I also know that you can keep your composure. So I, an old man, ate venison and played with swords like a monkey. After all this trouble, you still refused to say anything."

The old man Uchiha Xinyin was very proud: "But he is young after all. Once the old man took out this emotional offensive, he finally let the cat out of the bag."

Uchiha You: "..."

[The Uchiha family actually has such an old fox? 】

[With such a cunning old man around, how could Uchiha Fugaku come to power? How could the entire family fall into such a tragic situation of being completely wiped out? ]

Uchiha Shinin laughed cheerfully: "Don't let your imagination run wild. We old guys were badly hurt by Madara and targeted by Tobirama. We lost our direct influence on the family thirty years ago."

"Now I am the only one left dead."

"We originally placed our hopes on the second generation. Uchiha Kagami's talent, strength and personality were perfect. Even Tobirama accepted him, but he died outside."

"They won't even let people go even after they've died. Jing is even used as a negative example to prove that no matter how powerful a ninja is, they can still die if they're careless."

"Ridiculous! What a stupid slander! We who have awakened the Three Magatama Sharingan know that even if the Sharingan is not activated, it still has a vigilance ability far beyond that of a jonin."

"Boy, let me ask you, under what circumstances would an Uchiha who has awakened the three-magatama Sharingan be negligent?"

Uchiha You sighed and didn't answer anything, and Uchiha Shinyin didn't need his answer.

"Haha, only when we are with the people we trust the most can we completely relax as Uchiha. The so-called negligence is actually our own subconscious denying the warning signal of the Sharingan."

Ninjas like Uchiha Kagami have strong combat power and comprehensive abilities. They are the most difficult type of ninja to kill. There are only two possible ways for his death.

Either he ran into a super powerful Kage-level ninja, the gap in hard power between the two sides was too big, and he was determined to fight to the death, so he died in battle.

Or he would be backstabbed by someone he trusted and die miserably.

But the Konoha Village under the governance of the Second Hokage and the Third Hokage are two different concepts. Konoha at that time was mighty, domineering and overbearing. Which foolish Kage-level ninja would attack Uchiha Kagami? Do he and the organization behind him no longer want to stay in the ninja world?

So, 99% of the time it’s someone close to you who backstabs you.

But there is definitely no evidence for this matter. Uchiha Shinin and You both know that if evidence was found, the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama would have dealt with it, because he wanted to suppress the Uchiha family but did not want to destroy the Uchiha ninjas. There is a fundamental difference between the two.

Although they are one of the two major families that founded Konoha Village, the Uchiha Family and the Senju Family are too powerful and can be regarded as a cancer in Konoha Village to some extent.

If the two major families flourish, the benefits of Konoha Village will only belong to them, and the small families that join will not be able to enjoy the dividends of development. New villagers who join as families are even worse off, and they may even be exploited. If the bottom class cannot benefit, there will be no population growth, and Konoha Village will not have a bright future.

The Senju and Uchiha clans must be disbanded or weakened to give up enough room for profit. For the sake of Konoha Village, Senju Tobirama disbanded the main body of the Senju clan, leaving only the lineage of the first Hokage.

He also instigated internal strife in the Uchiha clan, drove away the powerful core leader Uchiha Madara, and used the Security Department in exchange for the Uchiha clan's giving up administrative power.

After removing the shackles of the founding family, Konoha Village indeed ushered in great development, creating a Konoha Village that could defeat the entire ninja world at the same time without Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha.

Dismantling the Senju clan and suppressing the Uchiha clan were both policies that went too far. After achieving the goal, it was time to adjust the policy orientation, appease the main backbones of Konoha Village, and use a gentle way to guide them to change their loyalty from family first to village first.

But Senju Tobirama died too suddenly, and the policy adjustments that should have been made were pushed to an even more extreme level by his successors, causing serious backlash.

This backlash manifested itself in reality as a decline in combat power. The Senju and Uchiha clans, which were the main forces, were wary and unwilling and afraid to fight to the death in the war.

The morale and spirit of the Konoha ninja collapsed. They went from easily crushing the ninja world in the first war to being unable to defeat either family in the second Ninja World War.

Konoha Village is very much like the Wei Kingdom during the Warring States Period in China. Because it is located in the Central Plains and is surrounded by wars, it can only swing between the best and the worst, with no middle state.

When they can fight four at once, the situation of Konoha Village is to attack from all sides and dominate the world.

When they could fight one against two, the situation of Konoha Village was that they were surrounded on all sides and were struggling to survive.

Under the leadership of an incompetent leader, Konoha Village could not withstand external pressure, which naturally led to increasingly serious internal strife.

The direct line of the Senju family, which was specially left behind as a banner, was completely destroyed, the Uchiha family, which was retained as a backup force, was cruelly ostracized, and Hatake Sakumo committed suicide in the scorching sun.

The decline of Konoha Village spread from the spiritual level to the level of hard power, and it can no longer be reversed.

This is a vicious cycle. If Konoha Village's combat power declines and the situation becomes embarrassing, the Third Hokage's group will intensify its attacks on the Uchiha Clan, and then Konoha Village's combat power will further decline.

Uchiha Shinin understood how dangerous this situation was. He was worried about the future of the Uchiha family and even more worried about the safety of Uchiha Shisui.

But he was old, and he knew that those in power in the family were a bunch of losers. He didn't even have the ability to kill them, let alone protect Shisui.

The anxious old man was almost in despair. After hearing about Uchiha Yuu's situation from Shisui, he ran over to see people in a hurry without any preparation.

After this day's contact, Uchiha Shinin was extremely surprised.

Uchiha You is powerful but low-key and steady, has extensive interpersonal relationships but is not well-known, is kind-hearted but decisive in killing. Although there is no murderous aura in his body, an experienced killer like Uchiha Shinin can still smell the overflowing smell of blood.

This is a person full of contradictions, but Uchiha Shinyin believes that only such a person can survive in the mysterious situation of Boyun, save Uchiha Shisui's life and change the desperate future of the Uchiha family.

"Shisui, please."

The old man with white hair and beard bowed tremblingly, and his body bent more than ninety degrees.

Uchiha You didn't say anything, nor did he dodge. He actually accepted the gift, which made the old man so happy that he was beaming with joy.

He stopped talking, turned around and walked away with big strides, his steps were so light as if he had put down a huge burden.

Uchiha You raised his eyebrows and smiled nonchalantly.

He did not feel that he was burdened, because he was also a member of the Uchiha clan, and resolving the crisis of genocide of the Uchiha clan was his unshirkable responsibility.

Moreover, Uchiha You needs the Uchiha family. Only with this powerful ninja clan above him can he cover up his special situation and ensure that his great cause of cultivating immortals will not be disturbed.

If the Uchiha family was wiped out, and only three or four Uchiha were left in the entire ninja world, he would be targeted by all kinds of monsters and demons.

Being in the spotlight, Uchiha You will be studied by everyone. Is there any secret he can keep?

Even now, Uchiha You felt uncomfortable after being seen through by the old man Uchiha Shinin.
