Uchiha Fugaku seemed to have been waiting for this voice for a long time, and his tone was actually a little choked at this moment.

"The Uchiha clan is willing to go through fire and water for this. If necessary, I am willing to go to the battlefield in person!"

Qi, for a moment, didn't understand what happened to Fugaku.

But then, Orochimaru dispelled Fugaku's excitement.

"Oh, Minato has just come back. You haven't congratulated Lord Fugaku yet. He has found dozens of clan members recently!"

Just because Kai didn't understand, it didn't mean that Orochimaru didn't understand. Although the Uchiha clan also participated in the war, they were dispersed and organized into various fronts.

But if Fugaku's status as the leader of a clan reaches the front line, then he must be the chief officer.

This is what the Hokage faction doesn't want to see.

"I'm sorry, I'm rude. Congratulations to Mr. Fugaku for finding the lost clan members. I think with their joining on the front line, the war in Konoha will definitely be overwhelming."

I don’t know if Minato understood it, but Minato still made a request to Fugaku to support the front line.

With Orochimaru's intervention, Fugaku seemed to finally remember something, and was somewhat disappointed.

When Minato made the request, Fugaku didn't have time to think too much. He just saw an opportunity for Uchiha to return to the top. If he could intimidate a party and gain military exploits, Uchiha would regain the right to speak in Konoha.

But the moment Orochimaru spoke, Fugaku remembered that the Minato in front of him was just a possible future Hokage, and what he said didn't count.

But the long-term depression made Fugaku too eager, what if, what if Minato came to represent the Hokage's sincerity.

Maybe the front line is really tense, so tense that Konoha needs to hug Uchiha for warmth.

After all, this is not the era of the first generation!

So Fugaku decided not to refuse Minato's request.

"As long as Konoha needs it, Uchiha will do whatever it takes."

After receiving Fugaku's affirmative answer, Minato was very satisfied. No matter that today was just an entertainment occasion, he actually took out the map and said bluntly.

'Lord Fugaku, I hope that Uchiha can support one hundred to two hundred more ninjas and go to the Water Country front. Shisui of the Uchiha clan is there, and the situation there is getting more and more tense.'

Fugaku also really cooperated and observed carefully, and his behavior showed that he was cautious about this battle.

Minato's invitation was a serious request, and Fugaku's cooperation was indeed considered secretly.

Think about whether you will have the opportunity to lead people to the front line, and think about the occasion where you will tell the Uchiha's hard work this time.

Only Orochimaru and Kai looked at each other and smiled.

Orochimaru knew that Minato's words didn't count, and Uchiha Kei knew that Fugaku himself couldn't raise a hundred or two hundred ninjas to go to the front line for Konoha.

Seeing these two non-committal people seriously discussing the direction of the war in public, they both couldn't bear to be disturbed.

Orochimaru and Kei didn't even bother to listen to what Minato and Fugaku were discussing.

The time was only a few minutes, and Orochimaru and Kei were too embarrassed to say goodbye, so they could only turn their interest to watching Hagi and Anko compete in eating meatballs.

As for that kid Uchiha Itachi, he looked at the meatballs with envy and longed to join his father's discussion. He seemed very entangled.

Finally this embarrassment is over.

"Lord Fugaku, I leave it to your people on the front line."

"Don't worry, Minato-kun."

The two seemed to have finally reached an agreement.

Immediately afterwards, Fugaku's expression became majestic.

"Kaijun, let your people rush to the front line of the Kingdom of Water. Tell them to obey Zhishui's command. Zhishui needs your help."

This sentence almost made Qi laugh.

What the hell, we discussed and discussed it, but this matter fell on me.

"How much?"

If he had three or two orange cards in his hand, Qi Tie would definitely fall out with Fugaku, but he didn't, so Qi decided to remind Fugaku tactfully.

Sir, times have changed, and I don't need to listen to you.

Qi thought this statement was natural. But many people present did not think so.

Including those ninjas who came down from the battlefield.

How can I raise money when it comes to defending the village? If you make military exploits, you will get a corresponding task completion rate. Then you can advance through the tasks to become a higher-level ninja, and then earn more money.

The village has already given you a platform for advancement, so why are you asking for money before you even go to the battlefield?

"Kai-kun, what are you talking about? Have you forgotten Konoha's system?"

The scene was a little awkward for a while.

Fugaku only thought that this was just the innocence of an ignorant child. Sure enough, there was no need to put such an immature person in a high position. It seemed that he needed to get in touch with the Uchiha Dansei, a mature and steady person.

He is the mainstay of the Uchiha clan.

Uchiha Fugaku thought.

Ke Qi didn't take it seriously.

"Konoha's system? I'm afraid you have forgotten what a ninja is."

The art of conversation is like this. Don't get entangled in what the other person is saying, but draw the other person into your familiar language environment. If he talks to you about the system, you talk to him about inheritance.

For a moment, no one quite understood what Qi meant.

Seeing that no one responded, Qi started to speak on his own.

"Ninjas are just powerful tools. They are also tools of war."

Language must be assisted by demeanor and movement. As Kai spoke, he walked forward and raised his head slightly, as if he was explaining to Fugaku, but he was speaking to everyone.

"At the beginning, the birth of the ninja broke many things. One of them was that powerful ninjas who did not engage in production would naturally occupy a large amount of social resources. However, this occupation was not enfeoffed by the daimyo like the nobles. This was obviously distributed.

After losing the power of the daimyo, the ninja became an unstable element in the eyes of the daimyo."

He gently put his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with memories of the past. Uchiha Kei seemed to be telling a story that had nothing to do with him, but this story was extremely interesting to a group of ninjas who were not educated in martial arts.

Because no one has ever told them how ninjas came to be.

"In that era, in order to restrict the development of ninjas, the daimyo did everything they could. They used emotions as restraints to prevent the ninjas from acting recklessly, and they also offered some sweeteners to keep the ninjas in a constant fight.

I don’t even have time to stop and think about why I exist.”

"This was that chaotic era, the so-called Warring States Period."

A ray of breeze blew by, bringing everyone in. At this moment, everyone seemed to have their own Warring States period in their hearts.

No one disturbed Qi's narration, and Qi slowly spoke again.

"It has been so long, but no one has thought about why the ninja fights based on family units are limited to ninjas. They only affect ordinary people, but they never target ordinary people.

.”

"Everyone takes it for granted that ninjas cannot harm ordinary people. Who instilled this understanding into us? Can you please tell me?"

It was originally just an order from Fugaku, hoping to give Kai, a newly promoted clan member, the opportunity to lead the Uchiha to make achievements on the battlefield and gain more promotion opportunities for the clan members.

But now it has become Kei Uchiha's pursuit of everyone.

"It's ridiculous. A noble ninja would naturally disdain bullying the weak. That is despised by others."

"Yes, yes!"

"That is, the weak wield their swords against the weak, and the strong wield their swords against the stronger. This is the way of ninja!"

As Qi asked questions, various generous and generous answers came one after another.

It seems that only Qi is a villain.

And Qihe responded with a smile.

"But the starting point of the long-lasting Warring States Period was to survive, and shouldn't we do whatever we can to survive?"

Kai raised questions again.

"Impossible. We are the guardians of the Fire Country and noble ninjas. We cannot do such despicable behavior."

At this time, the rebuttals were still there, but there was also a lot of silence.

The older people get, the more silent they become.

Qi understands that standing on the commanding heights of morality has the right to speak, while immoral people dare not speak out for their own selfishness.

Keqi doesn't care, he just wants to understand what ninjas live for.

"But who set these moral constraints? As long as the race continues, nothing is off limits, right? People must survive."

"It's so despicable of you to do this."

"Yes, we are not in any era now."

Kai shook his head slightly and said: "We have never been in a peaceful era, but the ninjas gathered together to keep each other warm and won a short period of peace for everyone. Those wandering ninjas and rebellious ninjas in the ninja world still do what you despise.

things. And they are just doing it to survive."

"So those wandering ninjas and traitorous ninjas should die."

Kai smiled.

He didn't open his mouth to make the ninjas harmonious. He came to spread rebellious ideas. Anyone who wanted to refute would do so. He just wanted to silence more people.

"I'm not talking about morality with you, I'm just telling you what the war between ninjas is about."

What was originally a chance encounter between big shots turned into a conversation between himself and those ninjas who came off the battlefield but didn't know why they were fighting.

"Of course it's to protect Konoha. To protect the Land of Fire!"

"But why should we protect the Fire Nation?"

"Because that is our motherland!"

The big and empty ideal once again floated over Konoha, and the ninjas of Konoha seemed to want to convince Kei of this heresy.
