Konoha: Start by unlocking the caged bird!

"These guys will bully civilian ninjas like us... Really, do we owe them? None of them have a good face."

"I'm so arrogant! Last time I went on a mission with an Uchiha, he even disliked me for delaying things, saying that no one from the Uchiha clan would ever be like me. It's really annoying!"

It seemed that Uchiha's topic resonated with the people at the table, and the ninjas who were with him all started chatting.

"By the way, you all know that during the Nine-Tails Rebellion, the Nine-Tails was controlled by the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan."

"It's impossible, right? The Uchiha clan shouldn't be able to do such a thing..."

"Oh, who knows if there is another lunatic in that clan. I really doubt that they will do something to their own people one day. Besides, even if not, they didn't make any effort that night. I didn't see Yu Zhi Bo’s people are going to deal with Kyuubi head-on!”

"No way, we are all ninjas from the same village..."

"How do they regard us as one of their own? Every one of them talks about us Uchiha clan. How can they regard themselves as a part of Konoha?"

"You also said that Konoha has treated them badly and is unfair to them. Bah, the guards are all Uchiha people. Isn't the power powerful enough?"

"That is, I use my identity as a guard to show off my prestige everywhere..."

The more people at the table talked about it, the more indignant they became. Regardless of what they heard or what they saw with their own eyes, they all vented it loudly.

Uchiha Shisui's expression gradually darkened, and he remained silent without speaking.

Several people at the same table looked at each other, but Yuhi Kurenai was the first to comfort her in a low voice, saying that those people were just drunk and talking nonsense, but Uchiha Shisui knew it well.

Some of these remarks may be exaggerated, or they may be due to the harshness of the Uchiha clan when they make mistakes but do not want to admit them, but some of them are real changes that have occurred in the Uchiha clan.

With Konoha's suppression of the Uchiha clan, the power of the hawks in the clan has expanded. Most ninjas have resentment towards Konoha, and as a result, they rarely have a good look towards ordinary Konoha ninjas.

They believed that their own clan shed their blood for Konoha. Which war or mission did they not take the lead and died on the front line?

How many geniuses went to the battlefield but did not return, how many relatives were separated by Yin and Yang, and they were extremely kind to Konoha.

But as the blame for the Nine-Tails Rebellion was placed on the Uchiha clan, many Konoha civilians and even some ninjas began to be hostile to the Uchiha clan because of this, which made the proud Uchiha clan even more unacceptable.

If you look down on me, how can I look down on you?

The proud Uchiha clan has never learned to speak well. Do you look down on me? Okay, what do you want me to do? Do you want to see it or not? It’s rubbish!

Faced with being ostracized, faced with misunderstandings and targets that overwhelmed them, they could only respond with a tougher attitude.

As a result, more Uchiha people become more and more unlikable.

Pride, arrogance, dissatisfaction, hostility, and even a very small number of Uchiha began to secretly retaliate because they were really intolerable. They used their status as guards to punish and cause trouble for ninjas who usually made bad remarks about the Uchiha clan.

This may only be a small probability event, but as long as one Uchiha person does this, the whole Uchiha clan will be blamed.

"The Uchiha people should just leave Konoha!"

With an unbearable venting of complaints.

"Seniors, please be careful about your radical remarks."

Unexpectedly, even Uchiha Shisui didn't say anything, he just felt sad and endured the moment silently.

However, Hinata Yuzuru suddenly stood up. His white eyes behind his glasses showed no emotion, and he politely said softly: "In any case, please take back some of your remarks."

The ninjas at the table were stunned and looked around. They didn't see who was speaking. Then someone stood up drunkenly and said in annoyance: "Who..."

When he stood up and saw Hinata Yuzuru standing up straight across the table, he was speechless.

A child wearing a forehead protector.

Those white eyes stared at him calmly behind the lenses.

It's not that he was intimidated by his momentum, but it's just not what an adult should do to argue with a child or vent his anger on a child.

Not to mention, you can remember who the young man in front of you is just by thinking about it for a moment.

"It's the genius of the Hyuga branch, Hyuga Yuzuru..." Someone started talking in a low voice.

Hinata Yuzuru just looked at the ninja, his tone still gentle: "Perhaps the actions of some Uchiha clan are indeed a bit extreme, but some people cannot represent the ninjas of the entire Uchiha clan."

"They are part of the village and are still our reliable partners on the battlefield. If we are not willing to trust them, why should we ask them to trust us wholeheartedly and treat us kindly?"

It was obviously a shame to be preached to by a child. His shame and anger made him half drunk. The ninja opened his mouth. In the end, he had nothing to say. He could only say: "I know, just drink." If there are more, feel free to say anything.”

He was trying to fool around, not wanting to get too entangled.

But Hyuga Yuzuru said very seriously: "Please take back some of your remarks. The Uchiha clan, before they actively rebelled against Konoha, will always be a part of Konoha. No one can deny their contribution to Konoha."

"I understand, I apologize, okay!" The ninja sighed depressedly, and while calling the waiter to pay, he said loudly: "I drank too much today and said some outrageous words. If everyone is uncomfortable, I apologize. .”

"Hyuga Yuzuru, I also apologize to you. I'm sorry for letting you hear this. I'm sorry! I shouldn't have said anything to make the Uchiha clan leave Konoha. You are right."

After the ninja finished speaking, after paying the bill, the group of people at the same table left quickly. They didn't want to stay where they were, but they looked at Hinata Yuzuru with a somewhat complicated expression, and some even felt a little ashamed.

It's not that he was ashamed because he said bad things about Uchiha, it was just that it was really bad to be seen by a child talking about others behind their backs.

In particular, Hyuga Yuzuru's speech was sonorous and powerful. He spoke purely from an objective standpoint and everyone understood the truth. It made them even more narrow-minded as adult ninjas.

But...the Uchiha clan is really not lovable! They are not telling lies! It's just that you really shouldn't talk about your colleagues like this in public.

Hinata Yuzuru sighed and sat down again, but Uchiha Shisui reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

He smiled, as if the words of others had turned into insignificant breeze, and said softly: "Thank you... Do you really think so?"

Hinata Yuzuru glanced at the ninjas at the table beside him who were silent because of his speech, and each had their own reflections, and then said in a calm but firm voice: "Yes."

"I firmly believe that even if one day, the Uchiha clan will do something crazy and stand against me or the vast majority of people, Shisui-senpai will stand firmly on my side... As long as we My belief remains the same as it is at this moment, and it has not changed.”

"I also firmly believe that there are many people like Shisui-senpai in the Uchiha clan."

Hinata Yuzuru and Uchiha Shisui looked at each other, and their eyes seemed to be meeting something.

Metkai suddenly spoke with a serious expression on his face, interrupting the eye contact between the two of them with great care.

"Shisui, I'm sorry."

He stood up suddenly, clenching his fists.

Metkai's sudden move left everyone present confused for a moment.

However, Metkai's expression was very bad. He had a sullen face, and his tone was self-blaming and ashamed: "I have always had a somewhat extreme view of the Uchiha people before. In this regard, I may be no different from them."

"Yuzuru, I didn't expect that I, who is so much older than you, can't understand such a simple truth what you said."

"The Uchiha clan is a clan of Konoha, they are our partners, it's just such a simple truth, but you still need to wake up... I, am ashamed to be a senior!"

Metkai raised his head, with tears streaming down his face: "You who can stand up and speak out for your partners are indeed my indispensable best friend in my life!"

Everyone stared at him blankly.

Metkai raised his hands, raised his head, tears and runny nose hanging on his face, and stared at Hinata Yuzuru affectionately: "Yuzuru!!!"

He seemed to want to wait for Hinata Yuzuru to reach out and give him a passionate hug full of youthful passion.

Hinata Yuzuru stayed where he was and blinked.

He was silent for a moment.

Raise your chopsticks.

"Let's eat first."
