Chapter 699 The Beginning of the Split

Chapter 699 The Beginning of the Split

"A split Uchiha?"

Tsunade raised his eyebrows, thinking about how to split.

Seeing her thinking, Xia Shu didn't directly give an answer, but with Tsunade's analytical ability, it is not difficult to come up with an answer alone.

As expected, she soon showed a look of sudden realization.

"Based on the idea proposed by Uchiha Fugaku, how can we split Uchiha? It's actually very simple, isn't it?" Natsuki said with a chuckle.

"Indeed." Tsunade nodded and said, "When the patriarch who holds righteousness and the great elder who holds power, when these two opinions diverge or even become hostile to each other, there is an [-]% probability that the family will split afterwards."

"This is because Uchiha Fugaku's prestige is not enough to control Uchiha, otherwise, even if he secretly provokes him, it may not necessarily lead to such a result."

Having said that, it is not difficult to see from his tone that he is as sure about this ending that has not yet appeared, as if he foresaw the future.

"You've always been good at seeing people."

Tsunade has no doubts about this, the past events are enough to show that he is good at and accurate in judging people.

"It's not such a difficult thing to do." Xia Shu shrugged and smiled lightly.

If he were in Uchiha Fugaku's position, he must have planned to gather the power of the family long ago, and then adjusted the way of getting along with Konoha's senior management, while lowering the village's defense against the family, he was secretly planning bigger moves.

Of course, Uchiha Fugaku is not him after all, and he doesn't have the information and ideas in his head. If he can do this kind of thing, Uchiha Fugaku must not be able to do it.

"So do you need my help with the next thing?" Tsunade asked at this time.

"No need." Natsuki said without hesitation, "Your goal is too big, even if you send Anbu ninjas. If something goes wrong, it may backfire, so let me handle it."

"Yeah." Tsunade nodded.

Although Uchiha has always been squeezed out on the edge of Konoha, the only organization involved is the Konoha garrison. In addition, he has little contact with outsiders, and has always held the proud attitude of a big clan. He is directly subordinate to Hokage like Anbe. The troops had no sources of intelligence.

But as Xia Shu said, this matter has a lot to do with it, and it is better to be cautious.

And the root controlled by Xia Shu is the best choice for doing this kind of thing.

On the other side, Uchiha Fugaku was rejected again.

"This matter is very important, please see the Great Elder again." Uchiha Fugaku insisted with a heavy tone, frowning slightly.

Hearing this, the servant who came to answer the door suddenly showed a dissatisfied expression, and waved away impatiently: "The answer of the great elder is that he disappeared, even if it happens again, it will be the same result. Lord patriarch, please don't make trouble for me." OK, okay?"

When he said 'Master Patriarch', his tone was aggravated, obviously with a sense of irony.

"Go again!"

Uchiha Fugaku's eyes flashed and turned into scarlet Sangoudama Sharingan. While the words were squeezed out from between the teeth, a powerful momentum was exerted on the person in front of him.

The servant who answered the door was so frightened by this momentum that his heart beat violently, and his mind was instantly sober as if being blown by a severe cold wind. He was no longer impatient, but he remembered the old reputation of the patriarch.

During the Third Ninja World War, Uchiha Fugaku created the reputation of "Evil Eye" on the battlefield. If it weren't for this, when the fourth generation of Hokage was selected, he would not have the idea of ​​competing for the position of Hokage.

"Please, please forgive me!" The servant's brow was covered with cold sweat, and he hurriedly said: "I will go to the Great Elder for instructions immediately."

After saying this, he bowed deeply, closed the door and immediately walked into the courtyard.

Walking along the path paved with blue stones, the servant's panic just now faded away. He is a member of the Great Elder, and he doesn't need to be afraid of Uchiha Fugaku. Although he was shocked for a while, he came back to his senses at this moment.

He slowed down his pace and couldn't help hesitating.

Although he is dissatisfied with what happened just now, he can also feel that Uchiha Fugaku's attitude is different from the past, and there must be something important.

It's just that whether the Great Elder sees Uchiha Fugaku is not something he can decide, and the attitude just now is already obvious, even if it happens again, it will definitely have the same result.

The Great Elder had a strong prestige, even if he had served for a long time, he would not be in trouble unless necessary, and the current situation was equivalent to being persecuted, so he quickly made a decision.

He stepped onto the corridor, brushed off some snowflakes on his body, and soon came to the door of a house where there was an elegant string sound, and bowed his head respectfully and knelt down.

"My lord, I conveyed your meaning, but Patriarch Fuyue..."

Having said that, he hesitated to speak as if he was in trouble.

"What's up with him?"

The sound of strings in the room disappeared, and then came an indifferent voice containing dissatisfaction.

"Patriarch Fuyue won't leave, and insisted that I come back to ask you for instructions."

The servant breathed a little, but he could hear that the chief elder's dissatisfaction was not aimed at him, but at Uchiha Fugaku.

There was a moment of silence in the room, and then said again: "Let him go and see how he reacts."

"Yes."

The servant quickly responded, got up and left.

His footsteps were lighter than when he came, and soon he opened the courtyard door again, and saw Uchiha Fugaku who seemed to be waiting as usual.

A little dazed, he shook his head to meet Uchiha Fugaku's gaze.

"You'd better leave, Lord Patriarch." He sighed.

After saying this, he didn't give Uchiha Fugaku a chance to respond, and closed the door directly.

As for the order of the Great Elder just now, he simply put it behind him, anyway, in his mind, the result would not be any different.

No matter how ignorant the other party is, they won't make one after another.

Uchiha Fugaku stood outside the door for a long time, with a look of disappointment on his face. He looked at the closed courtyard door, sighed slightly, then turned and left.

In the courtyard, after hearing the servant's words, the Great Elder ordered him to retreat, and after a long silence, he shook his head lightly, and the elegant and leisurely stringed sound rang out again.

……

In the root base, a puff of smoke suddenly rose from the empty underground space, and after gradually dissipating, a long figure was revealed.

"Even with the help of the Eye of Roots, it is not an easy task to fill the deep pit." Xia Shu walked up to the high seat and said with a little emotion.

A few days have passed since the day they met, and the Uchiha clan is still the same as before. Under the two provocations from the outside and the inside, the voices of restlessness are getting louder and louder, and it seems that there is no change from before.

But it was expected, so he was not in a hurry, so he took the time to do another thing.
