Konoha: There is definitely something wrong with these Sharingan eyes

"Huh?" Ryusuke had a look of astonishment on his face, his mouth opened wide, he blinked, and then frowned and asked the elder sitting on the floor opposite, "Did they really give me this nickname?"

This gray-haired, energetic old man wearing a kimono picked up the tea cup on the coffee table in front of him, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Of course it is true, you and Hatake Sakumo made a scene in the Land of Rain. There was a lot of noise, and the killing of enemies made people panic. Isn't it normal to have one or two nicknames?"

"That's true, but..." Ryusuke clicked his tongue, not knowing what to say.

"Soon, your name will spread throughout the entire ninja world." The old patriarch put down the tea cup and laughed twice, but he didn't mean to be happy for Ryusuke at all, but more of teasing and teasing, " "Crooked Eyes, this title will be known to everyone."

Sly-eyed?

That's right, due to their outstanding performance on the battlefield of the Land of Rain, Ryusuke Uchiha and Sakumo Hatake received "special treatment" from the ninjas of the Country of Rain and were given their respective titles - Ryusuke is "Konoha" "Crooked Eyes", Hatake Sakumo is "Konoha White Fang".

Obviously, White Fang is much more pleasant-sounding and much more artistic and delicate than Crooked Eyes. Weird eyes, weird eyes, it sounds terrible at first glance, it has no connotation, it is no different from the primary school students calling themselves "Thirteen Eagles of the South China Sea".

If in the future, when Ryusuke appears, others start whispering, pointing at him and saying, "Look, look, he's got a sneaky eye", then it's probably the scene of social death.

"It's really troublesome, such a title." Ryusuke scratched the back of his head helplessly. Regardless of whether he accepted it or not, he couldn't change it. He couldn't pick out his enemies one after another and ask them to change their words.

The old patriarch stopped teasing and said seriously: "The real trouble is not the nickname, but what the nickname represents."

"What does it represent?"

The old patriarch put down the cup and said: "It represents fame. Once you are famous, from now on, whether it is the enemies outside or the ninjas of Konoha, everyone will notice you more or less. Uchiha's identity will also What role it will play, no one can predict.”

The old patriarch spoke very vaguely, but Ryusuke understood it clearly. In the ninja world, geniuses die young easily, and the terrifying mortality rate for geniuses in the Uchiha clan is even higher.

Ryusuke also wants to keep a low profile, but his strength doesn't allow it.

"There is nothing we can do about it. When we go to the battlefield, we have to fight tooth and nail. Making some covert moves will only hurt myself." Ryusuke replied.

The old patriarch nodded and said, "As long as you know it yourself. Oh, by the way, have you met A Chang?"

"Ah Chang?" Long Jie had never heard of this name, and naturally he had never met him. He didn't know why the old patriarch mentioned this person for no reason.

"He is the person I sent out to take care of you on the battlefield. It seems that he is not needed now, but if you have the chance, you can get in touch with him. We can help each other. It is good to have multiple assists. .”

"Ah Chang, okay, I'll remember it."

"Where's Mikoto? How was her performance on the battlefield? Was she injured?" The old patriarch naturally asked about his granddaughter's condition.

"Mikoto, it's fine. She's helping with the medical team. Although she's been busy all day, she's very safe. It can be said to be the safest place in the entire battlefield."

"That's fine, that's fine."

The old patriarch asked again: "How about our young patriarch's performance on the battlefield? Is it okay?"

Ryusuke replied: "I haven't noticed this. I have been partnering with Hatake Sakumo and we belong to the vanguard team. He is in the large army and there is not much contact with each other."

"I plan to recommend you to compete for the position of clan leader."

The old patriarch brought up this topic without hesitation. Ryusuke's reaction was very interesting. He was startled and said "ha" before saying, "No, I don't want to be the patriarch."

The old patriarch's answer was also very interesting: "I know. That's why I recommend you to be the patriarch."

Ryusuke frowned, shook his head, and struggled to say: "What do you mean? I don't understand."

He was really confused and didn't understand why the old patriarch would come up with this trick. It was like knowing that the target was a man but still wanting to marry him. This made all the relatives and friends attending the wedding banquet feel numb. At a loss.

"Which one of these two situations do you think the top management of Konoha, represented by the Hokage, would like to see, Uchiha united as one and Uchiha divided into two factions?"

Ryusuke's eyes lit up: "You mean... to create the illusion of discord within the Uchiha, thereby reducing the vigilance of Konoha's top brass towards our Uchiha clan?"

The old patriarch smiled and said: "That's right. You are the person who disperses the power of Uchiha, and you can also be the person used by the top management of Konoha. You may also be the bridge between Hokage and Uchiha."

"Will they believe it?"

The old patriarch explained: "Yes, I will make them believe it. After all, everything in my plan will be implemented truly. In other words, I will fully recommend you to compete for the position of patriarch, and all actions will take place truthfully."

Ryusuke stopped talking and frowned to think.

The old patriarch continued to explain: "Of course, you will fail in the end and cannot replace the position of the patriarch. You have strength and fame, but you fail. You are the best tool for the Hokage faction, and they will definitely be very satisfied. Accept you. In this process, you also have your own supporters and strength."

In order to prevent a certain party from becoming bigger and stronger, and in turn posing a threat to the ruler, the method of pulling one faction to fight another is often adopted to divide and disintegrate this party's forces, achieve balance, and achieve control.

Obviously, what the old patriarch wants to do is to "pull one faction to fight another". He is just taking the initiative to "distribute" and cut the big Uchiha cake in half, and then divide one piece into the hands of the Hokage faction, thus achieving a balance. .

As expected of an old guy who experienced the Warring States Period, he does have some political skills. However, Ryusuke asked: "Why do you think they are willing to believe in Uchiha and accept me? If they adhere to the complete blood theory, there is no point in doing more."

"It doesn't matter. Even if my plan doesn't go this far, as long as they feel that the Uchiha clan has become divided and weak, it will be enough..." The old patriarch paused and added, "In this way... we It’s safe!”

It's safe...

Has the current Uchiha clan reached this place, enveloped by an inexplicable "insecurity"? It's really a bad situation. Maybe this "insecurity" will completely turn into "distrust" soon.

Ryusuke picked up the tea cup on the table, drank it down in one gulp, and said with a smile: "Then let's do this. Let's try to change some things and reverse this embarrassing situation."

"Well, so, although the name of "Crooked Eye" doesn't sound good, it is still a kind of reputation, and it can really help us advance our plan better."

Tsk, back to this nickname again. Ryusuke curled his lips in disgust, but said nothing.

The old patriarch saw his embarrassment and smiled, "If it were an ordinary person, an ordinary genius, I would probably call him back and not continue to be exposed on the battlefield. You are different, whether it is your inner plan or My plans all require you to show different abilities and talents."

Ryusuke replied: "That's true. Then I will face more dangers, whether they are outside or inside."

"Well, you have to be prepared. Even though you are only twelve years old, no one will treat you as a twelve year old, but as an enemy, or a potential enemy!"

"That would be troublesome." Ryusuke said this, but there was no look of worry or fear on his face. He was as confident as ever, even a little lazy, with a good attitude.

The old patriarch laughed and felt very happy, and then asked Ryusuke to share a lot of combat experience, such as how he dealt with the brothers Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama when he was young, and how he fought with the monkeys. Hiruzen's father was evenly matched, casually belittled the Hyuga clan, and boasted that the Uchiha clan's fire escape was unrivaled in the world...

After chatting for a full hour, Ryusuke was allowed to go back.
