In the secret room.
A stone tablet full of mysterious characters stands there quietly, and the mural of the Tengu on the wall behind it seems to have some kind of profound meaning.
crackle.
The two braziers burned on the left and the right, reflecting the inscriptions and murals, and also illuminating the faces of everyone in the secret room.
In front of the stone tablet, Uchiha clan members sat on the ground, and there were more than fifty people in a rough count.
They were either talking loudly or whispering;
Some had gentle faces, and some were excited.
These Uchihas are all uniformly dressed in dark blue high-necked robes, with the family pattern of Uchiha fans embroidered on the back with red as the face and white as the handle.
They looked neat and tidy.
It had to be said.
This kind of uniform is designed to be modern and avant-garde, but also able to trim the figure, which can best show Uchiha’s handsomeness and demeanor.
At this time.
Dan and Itachi’s arrival attracted a lot of attention.
Shua, shua, shua.
The clansmen turned their heads back one after another and looked over. When they saw Dan, they could not help but reveal expressions of surprise.
With a height of nearly two meters and a body that was not human, he was destined to be the most eye-catching existence no matter where he went.
He was not wearing the uniform of the Uchiha, but a loose black Taoist robe. From his appearance and temperament, he did not look like the Uchiha at all.
Someone whispered,
“Isn’t that the son of the patriarch, Itachi? Who is that big guy next to him? He doesn’t look easy to provoke.”
“I know. He is Uchiha Dan, the uncle of Itachi. He was invited by the patriarch to participate in the clan meeting.” Someone was well-informed.
“So this person is the brother-in-law of the patriarch. I heard that his physical skills are very powerful. Some time ago, he killed several spies in the street. He is quite strong, but has he awakened the Sharingan?”
Someone questioned.
After all.
According to the rules of the clan, only the members of the clan who had awakened the Sharingan were qualified to participate in the clan meeting.
Dan ignored the discussions of his clansmen.
His gaze was as calm as water, sweeping through the group. Most of his faces were unknown, but he also saw a few familiar faces.
It was Yashiro, Tetsuka, Inabi, and the elder, Uchiha Setsuna.
As soon as they saw Dan, their faces changed.
They knew Dan better than the others, and knew his strength and madness, especially the “Jade Breaking Plan” that Dan proposed, which made the radical faction feel scared.
Under Dan’s gaze, they turned their heads unnaturally to avoid eye contact with him.
Eh?
After his gaze swept past Yashiro and the others, he suddenly saw a woman with long black hair waving at him with a smile.
It’s his sister, Mikoto.
Although she was now a full-time housewife and was focused on teaching her husband and son, she was also a real Konoha Jonin, an elite of the police department.
Originally, she did not participate in the clan meeting. This time, it was obvious that she had come for her younger brother.
Dan revealed a smile and walked straight forward.
“Make way.”
He stretched out a pair of big hands and swept towards the crowd like a cattail leaf fan. Some people did not want to make way, but they were pushed by him and fell to the ground.
Very quickly.
Under the furious gazes of the clan members behind him, he came to the first row of the crowd.
He sat down next to Mikoto like a small mountain, covering his sister under his protection.
“Dan, this is your first time participating in the clan meeting, there are some things you need to pay attention to beforehand…”
She held onto Dan’s arm and told her brother about the rules of the clan meeting.
“Yeah, yeah.”
Dan listened to her sister’s chatter and nodded from time to time, but her words come to his left ear and went straight into his right ear.
After bringing Dan into the secret room, Itachi did not follow his uncle.
He looked around and found no trace of Shisui in the crowd, so he couldn’t help but feel worried.
Suddenly.
“Itachi!”
A beautiful and surprised female voice came from the side. Weasel looked in the direction of the voice and found it was Uchiha Izumi.
After she became a Genin, this was the first time she came to participate in the clan meeting. At this time, she was alone in the corner and seemed to be at a loss.
Until she saw Itachi.
Itachi was happy in his heart, but he did not show it on his face. He just walked over and said to izumi,
“Don’t be nervous, many people here are not as good as you.”
What he said was the truth.
When Izumi opened her Sharingan at the age of 5, she was the earliest among the Uchiha known by Itachi. At the age of 11, she had evolved to three tomoe, which showed how amazing her talent was.
It had to be known that many of the clan members were in their twenties, and the Sharingan only had one tomoe and two tomoe.
If they were to use their words, Izumi’s “vessel” was far superior to that of an ordinary Uchiha.
Compared to a genius like Itachi, what Izumi currently lacked was the means of battle and experience, as well as the temperament of an expert that had been tempered through life and death.
However, as long as she did not die prematurely, she would have these in the future.
Hearing Itachi’s encouragement.
Izumi finally relaxed and revealed a sweet smile, full of anticipation for the clan meeting.
Itachi saw her excited look, but sighed in his heart.
Izumi did not know what the current situation of the Uchiha was, and how intense the internal conflicts of the clan were. If they started a fight later, it might even develop into a fight, and she would probably be frightened.
Thinking of this.
Itachi stared at Izumi with a serious expression and warned her,
“Later, no matter what happens at the clan meeting, just listen. Don’t speak casually, and don’t stand on the team or say anything. Understand?”
He was worried that Izumi would be involved in this whirlpool and be affected.
“Oh… I understand.”
Izumi nodded as if she understood. From what Itachi said, she realized that the clan might be different from what she had imagined.
The two of them were chatting.
“Itachi.”
A familiar voice came from behind him. Weasel turned around and saw that Shisui had finally arrived.
“I’ll go over for a bit.”
After saying this to Izumi, he walked towards Shisui and quickly talked to him.
“Is that person your uncle?”
Shisui looked at the front of the crowd. Dan’s back was too eye-catching, which made Shisui curious.
Dan was indeed very different from the other Uchiha.
“That’s right, it’s him.”
“I’ll leave it to you,” Itachi said with a serious expression.
“Don’t worry, I came prepared.”
Shisui smiled and sat down with his arms crossed.
Itachi also sat down with Shisui in the last row of the crowd, staring coldly at their clansmen.
Up ahead.
“Dan, is there anything you don’t understand?” Mikoto said after explaining the rules of the clan meeting.
Dan thought for a moment and suddenly started a census.
“Sis, how many clan members do the Uchiha have, how many of them have awakened Sharingan, and how many of them are Jonin?”
Mikoto was a little surprised, this little brother of hers usually didn’t care about the matters of the clan at all.
Now that Dan finally cared about the clan, she naturally told him everything she knew.
From her mouth.
At present, the population of the whole clan was close to 800 people. Compared to the more than 1,000 people at their peak, they had declined a lot, but they were still considered a large clan in Konoha.
Among them, the number of people who had awakened the Sharingan was around 10%, which was about 80.
