Save Uchiha From Being The Patriarch

Chapter 17 Patriarch

In the spring afternoon, Zongxuan walked under the blossoming Sakura tree, listening to the small sound of the wind passing through the branches and leaves, and came to a magnificent mansion. The two doors were open and the courtyard was very beautifully trimmed. Looking along the road paved with blue-gray stone bricks, there is a sliding door at the end.

He walked in, he was not polite, opened the sliding door and asked aloud, “Is anyone there?”

No one responded.

Zong Xian took off his shoes at the entrance of the hallway and stepped onto the wooden floored corridor. This is not the first time he has visited the patriarch. There is a grandfather who is an elder who has been to this home several times before as a guest. Otherwise, Sasuke would not call him “Big Brother Zongxian”.

He didn’t dare to know the structure of this house well, but the area used for hospitality was generally familiar. On the right hand side of the corridor was the kitchen and dining room. There was no busy figure in it at the moment, Mrs. Patriarch. Probably not at home.

On the left hand side is a six-fold room with low tables and futons neatly arranged. At the moment sitting in the center is the current patriarch of Uchiha’s family——

Uchiha Fugaku.

This is a very majestic man with short black hair, a long square face, and expressionless facial features that give people an indescribable sense of oppression. He is wearing a dark blue gown with the logo of a fan in the center of the back.

“Zongxian, come in!”

Uchiha Fugaku said.

“Patriarch, excuse me.”

Zong Xian walked into the room and consciously sat down on the futon opposite the patriarch.

There is a teapot and two teacups on the low table. The tea in the cup is still steaming, and the green tea stalks are floating in it.

“I recently heard that you want to replace me as the patriarch?”

There is no subtlety, Uchiha Fugaku is straight to the point.

“Ah! Do you already know the patriarch? I’m still thinking about giving you a surprise when I see the last picture!”

“Surprise? A fright?”

“It feels almost the same, doesn’t it? Surprise, fright…A startle is the most important thing.”

“Stop the nonsense, Zongxian, you kid, you’ve been talking nonsense since before.” Uchiha Fugaku stared at Zongxian with that frightening grim expression.

“Since the patriarch you already know… aren’t you angry?” Zong Xian asked curiously.

Uchiha Fugaku will know his actions. It’s not surprising. The Uchiha clan says it’s not too big. It’s only a thousand people. Some things can’t be concealed if you want to hide it. The more the plan comes to the later stage, the more dynamic it is, and the discovery is doomed. Fortunately, Zongxuan didn’t plan to play any tricks. He wanted to grab the position of the patriarch Vice Admiral from Uchiha Fugaku.

“If it were five years ago, I would probably hang your kid up for a while, and then throw it to the border garrison so that you won’t have time to mess with me in your life.”

five years ago?

The chaos of Nine Tails?

Zong Xian was thoughtful, indeed, the patriarch’s brow wrinkles more than one day in the past few years, and the heavy and gloomy aura on his body has become stronger.

“And now… if you really have the ability to replace me, it may not be a bad thing for me or for the family.” Uchiha Fugaku rubbed his eyebrows, and the deep dark circles proved that he was afraid of being one last night. Stayed awake.

It may not have been just last night, it is likely that the patriarch has not slept well for a long time.

The conflict between the village and the family is becoming increasingly acute. How can he sleep peacefully as the patriarch?

If it weren’t for this, it wouldn’t have only two children, Itachi and Sasuke, maybe the third child has already been born…

“Of course, the premise of all this is that you really have the ability.” Uchiha Fugaku stared at Zongxuan, and said one word at a time: “You want the seat of the patriarch, yes, right here with me, just grab it! Let me see you What kind of ability is there.”

“The patriarch won’t let you wait too long.”

“Then I will wait and see.”

After that, the two fell silent at the same time. Zong Xian picked up the tea cup and slowly drank the tea. He turned his eyes to the lush garden outside the porch. Under Chunhui’s gaze, the vegetation in the garden was growing very well. After coming out, the owner has been pruning hard, every branch and leaf are regular, and the whole courtyard is exactly the same, without any inconsistency.

It’s just like–

The same as the patriarch who abides by the rules.

“Is it here to expose my ambitions? Lord Patriarch?”

Zong Xian took the lead to break this tranquility and lifted the teapot to add tea to the cup.

Uchiha Fugaku smoothly pushed the empty cup over.

The teacup was once again filled with blue tea, and with the shaking of the hands, waves were rippling.

“I’m looking for you…” Uchiha Fugaku looked at the tea in the cup and slowly said, “I went to see Master Hokage last night, and he said very tactfully that you shouldn’t be too close to Nine Tails. Jinchūriki…More precisely, I hope that the Uchiha clan will keep a certain distance from Nine Tails Jinchūriki.”

“Intimidation?”

“Yes, it’s just intimidation. It’s not just Hokage-sama present. The heads of Hyuga, Aburame, Nara, Yamanaka, Akamichi, Kurama, Inuzuka… these families are also there. No one wants to see Uchiha too Being too close to Nine Tails Jinchūriki, the night five years ago is still fresh in many people’s memories.”

“Hyuga…I thought that the death of a Hyuga Hizashi would make them resent Hokage!”

“The branch house in Hyuga exists to protect the clan. In the eyes of those in the Hyuga clan, Hizashi probably deserves to die like this.” When it comes to Hyuga’s clan and branch house, Uchiha Tomino rarely shows a little contempt.

“What do you decide to do with the patriarch? You want to punish me for this? The Third Generation personally praised me for protecting Nine Tails Jinchūriki last night.”

Zong Xian asked.

“Master Hokage praises you, it doesn’t mean that you can’t punish you.”

“It’s shameless!”

“I need to give the village an explanation.” Uchiha Fugaku paused, and continued: “Uchiha is a member of the village, and Nine Tails Jinchūriki is no longer the internal affairs of the family. The other families in the village are staring. If we don’t give an explanation… the families that were originally neutral will probably stand on the opposite side of ours.”

“Neutral family?”

Zong Xian laughed mockingly, “I really don’t know that there are neutrals in the village. Don’t those family members widely serve in Anbu and Gen? This can also be called neutral? Probably it is the declining Kurama. I was fancyed by Anbu and Gen.”

“Don’t confuse those members who joined Anbu and Gen with the family. Those people can’t represent a family. Isn’t Shisui also in Anbu? Could he still represent Uchiha?”

“······Well! You are reasonable, so what is the punishment?”
