Chapter 190
"Clan Head! If it doesn't work, let's just rebel, anyway Konoha's strength is empty now, it's the opportunity for our Uchiha Clan!"
"That Hokage position should also be our Uchiha Clan's turn to sit!!"
"No!"
"Now Konoha is in a period of turmoil, if we Uchiha make trouble, wouldn't that push Konoha into the abyss!"
"Then why can Konoha calmly push our Uchiha's women into the abyss!"
Almost everyone believed that once Uchiha Mikoto was sent to the Land of Whirlpools, she would definitely not have a good ending!
Their Uchiha Clan's bloodline hasn't been coveted for just a day or two.
The Land of Whirlpools specifically named Uchiha clan members, and women at that.
This Sima Zhao's heart is known to everyone!
Once Uchiha Mikoto is sent over, the ending will definitely be very miserable, and even Uchiha's Sharingan will leak out!
This matter must absolutely not be allowed!
Uchiha Fugaku sat in the main seat, his eyes slightly closed.
The verbal confrontation between the main battle faction and the conservative faction kept coming to his ears.
These two factions of Uchiha were formed when the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama took office and kept suppressing Uchiha.
Now they have been arguing for many years, but in the end, neither can convince the other.
Fortunately, the previous clan head, his father, was a conservative, and could still suppress the main battle faction.
Now that his father sacrificed for Konoha, he took over as clan head.
Influenced by his father, he was also a qualified conservative.
Well, until today.
Now, his father sacrificed, and Sarutobi Hiruzen also wanted him to send out his future wife.
Making Uchiha Fugaku hold a breath in his heart, forcing him to finally lean toward the main battle faction.
"Enough!"
Uchiha Fugaku stopped their argument, and his three-tomoe Sharingan looked toward the direction of the person involved.
"Third Elder, what do you think?"
He was still very respectful to the Third Elder.
Because he was Uchiha Mikoto's grandfather.
The Third Elder was expressionless, and his three-tomoe Sharingan didn't reveal any emotion.
He turned to ask the person next to him: "Mikoto, what are your thoughts, tell everyone."
Of course, the Third Elder didn't want Mikoto to go to the Land of Whirlpools.
But he also didn't want to see Konoha decline, and even less did he want to see Uchiha and Konoha conflict.
He was a loyal conservative.
As a former subordinate of Clan Head Uchiha Madara, he witnessed the birth of Konoha together.
He had deep feelings for Konoha.
On one side is Konoha, on the other is his granddaughter, he was also very embarrassed.
Uchiha Mikoto's eyes flashed slightly, and she felt inexplicably desolate.
From the moment her grandfather asked her, she understood that Konoha was more important to her grandfather than she was.
She also understood that her grandfather actually had an answer in his heart.
As for Uchiha Fugaku, she didn't hold any hope either.
If he was really that determined, he wouldn't be holding a meeting to discuss it here.
Instead, he would have actively rejected the Hokage's request during the day.
But he didn't.
From this moment on, Uchiha Mikoto's heart was already dead.
She closed her eyes and was silent for a while.
Land of Whirlpools, huh...
It seems to be Kushina's hometown...
I don't know if it's the same as what the teachers at the ninja academy said.
Is Kushina living well there?
At this moment, Uchiha Mikoto finally made up her mind, her eyes firm: "I'll go!"
"What!"
"Why!"
"Mikoto..."
Uchiha Mikoto's decision shocked many people, and they let out disbelieving exclamations.
In their view, the Land of Whirlpools was no different from hell for Uchiha Mikoto!
Uchiha Mikoto, why did she dare to enter hell alone?
The Third Elder's eyes were complex, and he hadn't expected Mikoto to be so courageous.
A sense of guilt welled up in his heart.
Before, Uchiha Fugaku asked for marriage, and he didn't refuse for Mikoto.
This time, Konoha wanted to send Mikoto to the Land of Whirlpools, and he didn't refuse for Mikoto either.
What he did as a grandfather was really unqualified!
Uchiha Fugaku's eyes were dazed, as if he hadn't expected Uchiha Mikoto to give this answer.
Refuse!
As long as you refuse, I can go to war with Konoha for you!
Why didn't you refuse!
Uchiha Fugaku opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but seeing Uchiha Mikoto's eyes, he gave up.
Uchiha Mikoto saw everyone's expressions in her eyes.
But her thoughts didn't waver at all.
Anyway, staying in Uchiha would just mean marrying Uchiha Fugaku.
Whether it's Uchiha or the Land of Whirlpools.
She didn't have the ability to decide her own destiny.
Rather than that, it's better to use her meager life to exchange for a moment of peace between Uchiha and Konoha,
It can also be considered...
Repaying her grandfather's upbringing.
After this incident, she would have nothing to do with Uchiha and Konoha anymore.
The next day.
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Mikoto in front of him with satisfaction.
"Good, good, good, Uchiha is worthy of being the pillar of Konoha!"
He patted Uchiha Fugaku on the shoulder and promised:
"Don't worry, Uchiha's sacrifice, I have always kept it in my heart, when Konoha gets through this period, I will definitely not treat Uchiha badly!"
Uchiha Fugaku was expressionless, not swayed by Sarutobi Hiruzen's big pie.
Sarutobi Hiruzen continued: "That, Fugaku, you step aside for a moment, I have some things to tell Mikoto."
Uchiha Fugaku took a deep look at him, then left the Hokage Office.
After Uchiha Fugaku left, Sarutobi Hiruzen said seriously: "Mikoto, although Konoha had to send you to the Land of Whirlpools this time! But don't worry, one day Konoha will bring you home!"
"So, even in the Land of Whirlpools, never forget your identity as a Konoha ninja!"
"This time is an S-rank long-term mission!"
"We Konoha have always wanted to insert a nail into the Land of Whirlpools, but never had the chance."
"This request from the Land of Whirlpools is the best opportunity!"
"While in the Land of Whirlpools, try your best to protect yourself, find out the secrets of the Land of Whirlpools, and find a way to send them back to Konoha!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly had tears in his eyes and said: "Your contribution to Konoha, Konoha will always remember!"
Uchiha Mikoto was dumbfounded, finally witnessing the hypocritical face of Sarutobi Hiruzen that Kushina talked about.
She couldn't imagine that their Konoha's Hokage would be such a person?!
