Chapter 249 Discussion, conclusion.
Hearing Uchiha Jing's rude words, Kitajima just smiled and shook his head: "I don't have that intention."
"Konoha is not the same as before. No one dares to make any unusual moves now."
"Besides, who would be so irrational as to not maintain a stable life but instead think about destroying it?"
Uchiha Jing looked at Kitajima with a melancholy gaze, as if he wanted to see through his true inner thoughts, but Kitajima looked normal and calm.
After a long while, Jing had a clue in his mind, and then calmly changed the subject: "Haha, clan leader, Uchiha has made a great contribution this time."
On the battlefield of Iwagakure, his son Uchiha Shimizu shined brightly and his reputation gradually grew. The Sharingan's notoriety once again resounded among the ninjas, making people tremble with fear.
Hearing this, Uchiha Kitajima smiled with satisfaction and said modestly: "It's all because of you that Shimizu has been well taught. That's why he is what he is today."
After hearing this, Uchiha Jing shook his head: "I was very busy when he was a child and had no time to accompany him. I guess he is still angry now."
"It's normal for children to feel depressed for a while." Uchiha Kitajima comforted him.
Jing sighed and said nothing more.
Seeing this, Kitajima took the initiative to change the subject: "Kagami, who do you think can take the lead and shoulder the responsibility of Konoha's prosperity in this generation of Uchiha?"
After saying this, Uchiha Jing's expression slightly changed. He slowly raised his head and looked directly at Kitajima. After considering for a moment, he spoke: "Jing naturally knows what the clan leader is thinking."
"The position of the Fifth Hokage is extraordinary and crucial to Konoha. We need a Hokage like the Third Hokage."
As he spoke, he paused, as if searching in his mind for an outstanding Uchiha of this generation, and then he continued.
"This generation of young people is still too young to see anything."
Upon hearing this, Bei Dao nodded slightly, as if he agreed with what he said.
"Alas...it seems we still need to wait for the seeds to germinate."
After hearing this, Jing suddenly smiled and said, "That's not necessary. Isn't there a member of the tribe who is very close to the third generation?"
"Are you talking about Obito?" Kitajima thought for a moment and said.
"That child is indeed talented, and has already opened the dual magatama Sharingan, but..." Kitajima paused and his expression suddenly became strange.
"It's just that he is too straightforward and doesn't know how to read people's hearts."
As he said this, Bei Dao shook his head, feeling that it was inappropriate.
It's lonely at the top, and the position of Hokage seems very beautiful, but it is actually full of thorns, and you will hurt yourself if you are not careful.
It cannot be controlled by someone who is not mentally sophisticated and determined.
After hearing these words, Jing smiled and said nothing: "It seems that the clan leader is not optimistic about him?"
Kitajima nodded and said bluntly: "Obito can be the backbone of Konoha, but he can't be the pillar."
This means that he has no chance of becoming Hokage.
After saying this, Jing neither agreed nor disagreed, remaining silent.
At the same time, the Hyuga clan, who were also members of a powerful Konoha clan, were also arguing, just like they did during the election for the second Hokage.
Since the current head of the Hyuga family is not here, the meeting can only be chaired by the old head of the family, Hyuga Mori.
All the elders from the main branches of each clan were present. At a glance, they were all new faces. Hinata Sheng cleared his throat and then spoke.
"Everyone, you all know about the news of adding a general education course, what do you think?"
As soon as the words fell, someone spoke up. It was the second elder of the clan, a middle-aged man, who began to analyze.
"Master Sheng, since the Third Generation came to power, Konoha has undergone major changes, most of which have to do with the common people."
"Now, the Fourth-sama is spreading the news, and his intention is very clear, which is to improve the status of the common people."
"We have to guard against this. If this continues, the status of ninjas will decline."
Perhaps these words express the thoughts of most people. The education they received has made them feel that civilians cannot be superior to ninjas, and this has become a consensus.
It seems that civilians should be civilians and their status should be below that of ninjas.
For a while, there was constant discussion. Except for a few younger elders, the older ones all made it clear that they wanted to protest to the Fourth Generation.
Hinata Shengdu saw it all, and looking at the people who were so angry and united against the enemy, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Father, you are right. Being at ease for too long will make people rusty."
"The Zong family is too peaceful."
Hinata Sheng coughed lightly, and the scene instantly became quiet. As the old patriarch, he still had some authority.
After looking around, his gaze finally stopped on some young elders, all of whom became elders by inheriting their fathers' positions.
"What do you think of what the Second Elder said?"
After he finished speaking, the second elder frowned, and a bad premonition emerged in his heart.
Feeling Hinata Sheng's encouraging gaze, some younger juniors hesitated and then spoke out their ideas.
"Master Sheng, during the Warring States period, there were constant wars and few people died of natural causes. Even children had to go to the battlefield."
"It was not until the first generation joined forces with Uchiha Madara to establish Konoha Village that wars became less frequent, allowing children to have a place to live."
"What I want to say is that the times are progressing. Before the appearance of ninjas, samurai were the mainstream of the world. After their appearance, samurai fell into decline."
"Now, ninjas are like samurai before. The rise of commoners is inevitable."
As soon as he finished speaking, the second elder stood up and angrily scolded him: "What nonsense! How can a young boy talk nonsense like this?"
"You are simply forgetting your roots. You forgot that you are from Hyuga and even spoke well of Konoha."
In a fit of rage, the Second Elder spoke without restraint, separating Konoha and Hyuga in his words. If this was heard by someone with ulterior motives and then spread, the Hyuga clan would be in big trouble.
Hinata Sheng slammed the table, pointed at the second elder and cursed: "Asshole! How dare you say such a thing!"
"Do you want Hinata to be doomed?!"
The Second Elder was so confused after being scolded that it took him a long time to realize what he had just said. Immediately, beads of sweat covered his forehead and fear filled his eyes. He hurriedly explained.
"Master Sheng, that's not what I meant."
Hinata Sheng waved his hands, not wanting to listen to his explanation at all. He glared at him and said, "Second Elder, you are speaking without restraint and have violated the clan rules. After the meeting, you will receive your punishment!"
The Second Elder gave a bitter smile when he heard this. Since he was not very careful with his mouth, he could only accept it.
Then, Hinata Sheng said: "You have heard what I said just now. The era of ninja's dominance is coming to an end."
"As you all know, the chakra cannon developed by Orochimaru on the Kumogakure battlefield is very powerful and it caused Kumogakure to suffer a great loss."
"From now on, ninjutsu will no longer be unique."
"The opening of general courses is imperative. No individual or family can stop it, no matter who it is!"
Hinata Mori's words determined the outcome of the meeting, leaving those who opposed speechless.
Even the most stubborn Second Elder remained silent.
Seeing this, Hinata Sheng glanced around and nodded secretly in his heart: "It seems that you have thought it through."
With the accumulation of years, Hinata Sheng has keen insight and has a rough understanding of the meaning behind ordinary subjects. Therefore, he made the decision with strength.
When it comes to matters concerning the survival of his family, he always cares about it.
