Chapter 70 This kid is not simple (new book, please collect and recommend)
Because of Uchiha Yu's outburst, everyone's attention in the room was focused on Uchiha启.
Although this was also the case before, at that time, more people were disdainful and indifferent, because in their eyes, Uchiha启 was just a novice who knew nothing.
Being able to enter here only showed that his strength was good, and he had great potential for cultivation and development, but a kid is a kid, what can you expect a kid to say?
But now it's different. Although Uchiha启 hasn't shown much political acumen, his bearing alone has surprised them.
Facing Uchiha Yu, he wasn't flustered at all, and he could even use Uchiha Fugaku, the Clan leader, as a shield, which showed that this kid's mind was still very sharp.
The most crucial thing is that Uchiha Fugaku also wanted to hear what he had to say, which naturally also meant that what this kid said before might have been considered by the Clan leader.
Since that's the case, why not listen to what this kid has to say and why his opinions can be recognized by Uchiha Fugaku, the Clan leader?
"Taking back the Sharingan would embarrass the Konoha higher-ups and bring some short-term benefits to the Clan, as I've already said."
Uchiha启 seemed unaffected, and he calmly continued, "But have you considered that doing so not only offends a powerful Ninja who is currently in the limelight, but also makes Uchiha's already poor reputation in Konoha even worse?"
"So what?" Uchiha Shu looked coldly at Uchiha启. "What belongs to us must be ours. Why should we give it to others?"
"What if Hokage-sama directly stated that he wouldn't research it, and that eye would only belong to Kakashi?" Uchiha启's face showed some mockery. "Then at that time, you wouldn't just be offending the Third Hokage's faction, but you'd also be putting the Clan under the label of 'completely disregarding a hero's dying wish.' Don't forget, we just participated in an event!"
When Uchiha启 said this, he couldn't help but secretly glance at Uchiha Fugaku. He wasn't sure how Uchiha Fugaku had convinced these guys back then, but Uchiha启 was a modern person, and he had his own views and opinions.
Uchiha Obito was just an ordinary person in the Uchiha Clan; his death was nothing significant.
But as a war hero who died, yet couldn't even guarantee his own will, then the Uchiha Clan's already poor reputation would definitely become even more odious!
Hokage-sama had recently held a large funeral and hero memorial event for the fallen Ninja, and the powerful Ninja of the Uchiha Clan also attended under the leadership of Uchiha Fugaku.
All the Ninja present still remembered this incident vividly. Many of them had participated in this war, and more or less, some teammates and friends had died.
One could fully imagine that if the Uchiha Clan jumped out not long after this funeral, they would definitely be seeking death!
"That's just your guess, but even so, the Clan's secret..."
Uchiha Shu's expression had already changed somewhat, but he still feigned calmness, only to be rudely interrupted by Uchiha启 before he could finish.
"For unknown glory and the meager profits you've envisioned, you would drag the entire Clan into an abyss?"
Uchiha启 sneered at Uchiha Shu, "That's why I say you're a short-sighted, ignorant fellow. Violating the will of a fallen hero, and such an incident erupting right after the Village held a hero memorial event, offending a powerful Ninja who doesn't hold much ill will towards the Uchiha Clan—you're not protecting the Uchiha Clan's honor and secrets, you're pushing the Uchiha Clan into an abyss!"
"You—" Uchiha Shu's face completely changed at this moment, and the faces of the other Uchiha Clan members attending the meeting also changed.
"Granted, Kakashi is my friend, and I want to protect him, but don't forget I'm also an Uchiha," Uchiha启's mocking smile grew deeper and colder. "Perhaps Hokage-sama and the others are just waiting for you guys to make a move."
Uchiha启 was completely talking nonsense now. He didn't know what Hokage-sama was thinking, nor did he know how Kakashi's eye was preserved.
But no matter what, Uchiha启 had achieved his goal: to show Uchiha Fugaku another side of himself besides his talent, this 'trigger point.'
Although Uchiha启 suddenly showing this side would seem exceptionally abrupt, it didn't mean Uchiha启 wasn't qualified to think about these things.
As a smart person, Uchiha启 knew the pros and cons of doing so, and he would only do it when the benefits outweighed the drawbacks.
As expected, Uchiha启's words made all the attending Ninja fall into deep thought, and after deep thought, there was more of an inexplicable question.
Why would this kid think of these things?
Why would this kid know so much?
Who exactly is this kid?
Not only these attending Ninja, but Uchiha Fugaku's face was also full of doubt.
"Is that what you wanted to say, Qi-kun?" After a long while, Uchiha Fugaku nodded. "Who told you, or did you think this yourself?"
"You should know who I've been in contact with since I came back, Clan leader?" Uchiha启 smiled indifferently. "On the battlefield, if you don't have some brains, you really can't survive. The Clan leader should know that too, right?"
"Tell me," Uchiha Fugaku didn't respond, he asked directly.
"I've lived at the bottom since I was a child. You people who are high above probably rarely encounter interesting things, right?"
Uchiha启 spread his hands, "The Military Police Force's methods are both crude and hated, and many Clan members always think they're the best, which makes many people dislike them. I also had a lot of trouble at the Ninja Academy back then. And many people within the Clan are complaining, plus what you all said before, so I formed certain judgments and ideas."
Uchiha启 spoke half-truths and half-falsehoods. Even Uchiha Itachi encountered trouble in the Academy, let alone Uchiha启.
It's just that Uchiha Itachi's situation was after the Nine-Tailed eruption, while Uchiha启's was purely because he was framed by those Military Police Force guys.
But that's no big deal. Uchiha启 just needed a reason, and besides, what they were just discussing was something even a fool could understand.
As Uchiha启 explained, these attending Ninja couldn't help but sigh in their minds, this kid is truly extraordinary!
To be able to analyze so much based on his own experiences and what they had just discussed, at Uchiha启's age, this was truly remarkable!
No wonder this kid was able to find a way to perfectly complete a mission that was certain death. Those who understood the details of this kid's mission no longer dared to underestimate Uchiha启!
"Is that so?" Uchiha Fugaku took a deep look at Uchiha启, then he nodded. "Qi-kun is truly a genius of our Clan. I understand what you mean."
"I wouldn't dare call myself a genius," Uchiha启 took the opportunity to sit down. "Clan leader, just consider it me trying my best for my friend."
