Volume 1 Chapter 518: Soft and hard tactics, Uchiha Fugaku controls the hawks
Even if the beliefs are different, don't underestimate the pride of the Uchiha.
It's not the Uchiha style to surrender to the enemy so easily.
"Let's talk about it later."
Tsunade shook her head and waved her hand to signal Uchiha Fugaku that he could go back to rest and prepare, as there were still a lot of things to deal with tomorrow.
After leaving the Hokage office building and returning to his family, Uchiha Fugaku convened a family meeting immediately.
After receiving the notice, all those who were qualified to attend the meeting gathered in the secret room of the family ancestral hall.
Everyone present knew that Uchiha Fugaku went to the Hokage office building.
When Uchiha Fugaku arrived, everyone's eyes were focused on him.
Under the gaze of his clan members, Uchiha Fugaku calmly walked to his seat and sat cross-legged.
With a gloomy and somewhat cold gaze, he swept across the faces of his clansmen and said:
"I have met with the Hokage, and he said that he would withdraw the surveillance on us Uchiha, return the rights of the elders belonging to the Uchiha to us, and would not interfere with the operation of the police department."
“........”
Everyone was stunned and silent for a few seconds, and soon cheers filled the entire secret room.
"Great, we really didn't make a mistake. The Fourth Hokage is so kind."
"Finally I don't have to be monitored anymore. I'm fed up with those xenophobic people out there."
"Hahaha, what a joy, what a joy."
Inside the secret room, everyone, regardless of which faction, showed surprised smiles. This was great news to them, and it also put their minds at ease.
Tsunade didn't sell them out, nor did she lie to them.
When Uchiha surrendered, she accepted him openly and did not treat him differently from the Third Hokage and others.
The tribesmen cheered happily, and Uchiha Fugaku was also very happy.
Unfortunately, as the clan leader, he cannot show his inner emotions and still has that expressionless face.
"Now let me say something, everyone please be quiet."
Uchiha Fugaku raised his hand and pressed it down, and all the Uchiha people in the secret room fell silent.
"Today is a great day for us Uchiha."
Uchiha Fugaku slowly turned his gaze towards the direction where the Hawk Faction members were gathered, and said in a low voice:
"Hokage-sama accepted our surrender and gave us corresponding benefits, but..."
But how to deal with the hawkish problem?
Now everyone couldn't help but look over.
If Tsunade wants to accept the Uchiha, the Uchiha must show sincerity.
Otherwise, not only will the benefits given today disappear tomorrow, but you may even face more severe targeting.
Therefore, the hawks became a thorn in everyone's eyes.
Being watched by their tribesmen, some of the Hawks suddenly looked panicked.
On the contrary, the elder who served as the representative appeared very calm.
"Chief, fellow tribesmen."
The hawk elder said:
"Hokage-sama has given us the benefits that the Uchiha deserve as promised. According to the agreement, we also need to show sincerity. But I hope the clan leader will not make things difficult for the children below. They are still young, and they will only join us with the hope that the Uchiha will move towards a better future."
"Since sincerity is required, I believe that we old guys are capable of expressing this sincerity."
The hawkish people are ambitious, and the starting point of their ambition is also for Uchiha.
Now that the Uchiha had obtained the benefits they wanted, their existence became awkward.
Fortunately, the hawkish elders are quite tough. No matter where their ambitions come from or whether they have enough spirit of sacrifice, at least they are also members of the Uchiha faction.
Apparently, the hawkish elder decided to take all the responsibility on himself and did not want to affect the young ninjas in the clan.
"no!!"
“I don’t agree!!!”
"Elder, I don't accept it. Since I have to die, then I am willing to sacrifice myself for the Uchiha!!!"
Some of the hawkish young ninjas stood up with red eyes.
The doves and patriarchs felt mixed emotions as they watched the hawks scramble for responsibility.
They are all Uchiha people, and their starting point is for the good of Uchiha, but now it has come to this.
But they wanted to say something but didn't know how to start.
Because Uchiha needs to show enough sincerity to impress Tsunade.
“That’s enough!!!”
Uchiha Fugaku's expression did not change because of the quarrel among his clansmen.
Uchiha Fugaku came forward and everyone finally quieted down.
"Chief..."
Some of the doves and clan leader factions who couldn't bear it could only look at Uchiha Fugaku helplessly.
Uchiha Fugaku ignored the pleading looks of these people, folded his hands in front of his chest, and said coldly:
"Please remember, we are Uchiha people, and Uchiha has its own pride."
The doves and patriarchs were shocked and gave up the idea of begging for mercy.
The hawks stiffened their necks and gritted their teeth, waiting for Uchiha Fugaku's criticism.
No matter what crime Uchiha Fugaku would accuse them of, they admitted it.
"We are very lucky that the Fourth Hokage does not have too many bad impressions of the Uchiha. Just now, the Hokage told me personally that the village needs stability, and the Uchiha also needs stability.
We shouldn’t do stupid things like stabbing our own people, so you need to show your sincerity in other ways.”
After slightly packaging Tsunade's words, Uchiha Fugaku took out this reassurance pill and gave it to his clan members to take.
You want to die, but the Hokage doesn't agree.
Why are you all so excited?
"Well........"
"this........"
The hawks were dumbfounded, and the doves and patriarchs were not much better.
What the clan leader means is that the Uchiha don't need to sacrifice their clan members for the sake of sincerity?
But do you need to use other ways to demonstrate your value and sincerity?
Are Uchiha people afraid of death?
Not afraid.
What they fear is dying in confusion and without value.
"Clan leader, did the Hokage really say that?"
"Please be prepared, and everyone present here should be prepared. If there is a war, we Uchiha people will represent the Hokage and fight on the front line."
Happiness came a little too suddenly, and these people were a little stunned.
They all thought that a purge was inevitable, but it turned out not to be the case.
Tsunade doesn't want her own people to turn their knives against each other, nor does she want the Uchiha to suffer heavy losses.
Therefore, Uchiha's sincerity needs to be demonstrated by letting go of other things.
After a brief silence, cheers broke out again. Many people shed tears of excitement, their hearts filled with gratitude towards Tsunade.
After watching his tribesmen cheer for a while, Uchiha Fugaku raised his hand again and signaled them to be quiet.
