The next day.

In order to explore the secrets of the stele in the Uchiha Clan's secret place, Mikoto got up early and set off from home before dawn, heading towards the Uchiha Clan's ancestral hall.

There are hardly any people on the streets in the early morning, and occasionally one or two elderly Uchiha uncles and aunts are packing up their shops and preparing to open.Mikoto walked briskly on the stone road, trying to identify the way to the ancestral hall.

The clan land is far away from the village, and the ancestral hall of the Uchiha clan is even more remote.When the street disappeared, the flat stone road turned into a rough stone road, and a quiet path suddenly appeared in front of her.

The path interspersed with white gravel meanders like an extension into the depths of the forest. A slightly gloomy wind blows from the depths of the forest. Mikoto feels a little cold, so she smoothes the goosebumps on her arms and continues to move forward.

About 5 minutes away, Meiqin could gradually see the quaint walls of the ancestral hall, and the path spread into the walls and disappeared.

The stele she was looking for should be somewhere in the ancestral hall.

In the early morning, there was no one around, the thick wooden gate of the ancestral hall was tightly closed, and the old people who usually stayed here were not seen.Miqin walked half a circle around the fence, picked a big tree in a good location and easy to climb, lifted her feet and jumped up, hugged the thick trunk, and quickly climbed up and over the fence with hands and feet.

It's just that at the last step, Miqin jumped down from the wall confidently, but she didn't expect to make a mistake when landing, and she sprained a bit, so she jumped and suffered pain.

The ancestral hall has always been a secluded place, even when Mikoto was jumping in pain, there was no sound in the barren front yard.

Miqin limped in, the main door was wide open, a hall was connected to a corridor at the entrance, and the space was divided into dozens of small cells by the door.The pattern is not complicated, but it still takes some time to check it out one by one.

The cold air was constantly eroding Miqin's body. The clothes she wore in the morning were too thin, and she couldn't help shivering. Suddenly, she saw a white object out of the corner of her eye, and Miqin's attention could not help being drawn there.

It was a pure white hunting clothes, the style is not very common, the fabric looks a little rough, the workmanship is not top-notch, it is a few years old, but it just hangs in the hall of the Uchiha Shrine.

This is not common in Uchiha, who has always preferred black.

There was a faint appearance of black jade on the pure white hunting clothes, Miqin narrowed her eyes, she couldn't help but moved to the side, and then stretched out her hand.At this moment, an old voice suddenly came from behind her: "Mrs. Meiqin... what are you doing here?"

Meiqin trembled all over in shock, turned her head abruptly, and saw the wrinkled Great Elder standing behind her, with a pair of dark eyes fixed on her outstretched hands, Meiqin quickly withdrew her hand, showing an embarrassed smile: "You, hello... I haven't been back for a long time, so I want to visit the ancestral hall..."

"If you want to attend the rally, it's not the time yet. You can come back next week." The elder frowned, as if he didn't approve of Miqin's uninvited behavior.

Facing the elders, Mikoto was still quite respectful, but she caught a word.Meiqin tilted her head and asked, "Assembly?"

"Ah, speaking of which, you haven't attended for a long time, come next week if you have time." The Great Elder put his hands in his sleeves, "Because of your illness, it is estimated that you have missed many rallies, so make a good record this time. .”

Miqin didn't have the slightest memory of the past, so naturally she didn't remember any "gathering".But since the Great Elder said so, she obediently nodded in response.By the way, I asked about the meeting place. Although the Great Elder's face was very dissatisfied, he still kindly told Meiqin that he would lead her to the meeting place when the time came.

Now that she had a guide, Meiqin naturally accepted the elder's proposal with great gratitude, bowed to thank the old man, and the elder waved her hand reservedly and said "no".

"After all, since Fu Yue agreed last time that you are the woman who can give birth to the hope of the next generation of Uchiha, I naturally believe his judgment." The elder coughed, "I didn't have a good attitude last time, sorry."

As expected of being from a big family, the first elder expressed his apology to Miqin politely and thoughtfully, but his expression was always awkward, and he didn't look at Miqin's face when apologizing.

He is not very frank when expressing his inner thoughts-it is called "Uchiha Phenomenon" in the "Uchiha Studies" studied by Mikoto in the future.

"By the way, I never even opened the door, how did you get in?" The Great Elder glanced over suspiciously.

"Ah... ah, I will trouble you to lead the way next time, thank you very much! I'll be leaving today!" Meiqin hurriedly said goodbye and walked out in a hurry.

The Uchiha clan will hold a regular meeting every month as usual, and occasionally once every three days during special periods.

Generally speaking, from the perspective of frequency, the regular meeting is not an extremely special meeting, because it will be held once every three days.However, the regular meeting only allows members of the Uchiha clan who have ninja qualifications or the older generation with high morals to participate.

Uchiha Mikoto - the former patriarch's wife is also one of them, but since Uchiha Shinji was replaced in the shell, Uchiha Mikoto has never participated again due to "illness".

until today.

Meiqin followed behind the elder with her hands tied, and as soon as she entered the door, she was stunned by the atmosphere in the room.

Dozens of Uchiha people in wide-collared black clothes knelt and sat on their own seats. When they heard the sound of someone walking in, they turned their heads in a hurry. Dozens of pairs of blood-red eyes stared at the slightly dim room. inside lights up.

It was as if dozens of red police lights were on.

Mikoto's hands trembled violently, and her left hand pressed down on her right hand, forcing herself to calm down.If she doesn't hold back now and rushes to touch it, it's hard to say whether she can still see the sun tomorrow!

For so many years, Meiqin still hasn't corrected her habit of being unable to hold back when she sees red eyeballs.

The location of Uchiha's assembly, impartial, is just below the ancestral hall.

Relying on a few candles for lighting in the dark space, this reminded Miqin of her life in the snake den inexplicably... Just as she was in a trance, the young snake hidden under her long hair suddenly moved slowly to her shoulders, leaning against her shoulders. Miqin whispered in her ear, "...So this is here."

Orochimaru also came here during the Fourth World War, but it was far from being as clean and tidy as it is now. At that time, the Uchiha ancestral hall was in ruins, and the entrance and exit of the secret place were buried under a pile of weeds, revealing a decayed look. breath.

The Uchiha Mi from decades ago will show up in front of them again... The psychic snake possessed by Orochimaru squinted his eyes.

Much more ordinary than he imagined.

The Great Elder sat straight at the main seat, Miqin was at a loss and didn't know how to take it away, she sat tremblingly on a remote cushion under everyone's eyes, put her hands on her knees respectfully, did not dare to say a word, her eyes Staring at the seams of the tatami in front of him, his whole body was as stiff as a sculpture.

The Uchihas withdrew their gazes one after another, turned their heads back to the first elder, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

The first elder cleared his throat and announced the start of the assembly.The content of the meeting was probably the latest war arrangements and the relationship with the village.According to the arrangement, Uchiha Fugaku, as the patriarch, will return to the New Year Festival this year, and at the same time send a new team to the front line.In addition, the relationship between the clan and the village is still tense. It is said that the elders had a quarrel with the high-level officials in the village meeting not long ago, and the two sides almost fought.

Hearing the cause and effect, a group of Uchiha shouted outragedly, "Konoha's people are too deceitful"!For a while, dozens of pairs of Sharingan lights up, flashing with anger.

Probably funding, granting land, these things, Meiqin has no interest in this kind of internal affairs, she was drowsy when she heard it, and her eyelids drooped.

"Mrs. Meiqin, what do you think?" A majestic voice suddenly sounded, causing Meiqin to tremble violently.

"Huh?" Miqin glanced blankly and saw that the elder was looking at her seriously, his face smelled like a stone again, obviously seeing her drowsy appearance.

Mikoto scratched her head in embarrassment, "What do you think... shouldn't we discuss it with Konoha first?"

"Those idiots! It doesn't make sense to them at all!" A certain Uchiha tribe below couldn't help yelling, which immediately aroused the anger of a bunch of people.The First Elder looked down, the noise gradually subsided, and the First Elder asked Meiqin to continue talking.

Facing the anger of the clansmen, Meiqin shrank a little, but under the gaze of the Great Elder, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue: "...Actually, we can also soften our tone a little, everyone will have a good discussion..."

"Nonsense! Where do you say Uchiha's dignity is?!" One of the Uchihas jumped up when he heard the words, pointing at Mikoto's nose and questioning.

Meiqin didn't expect that she would arouse such disgust from others when she mentioned it so much, she couldn't help but bend back in fright.For her, there is really no such thing as "Uchiha's dignity". In the past, it was a person who was dragged down two streets while hugging his boss's thigh for research funding. What kind of "inviolable dignity" did he talk to her about?

Of course, Mikoto herself has no sense of "shameless".For her, as long as she has the money to continue her research, what's wrong with flattering her boss?

As if sensing Mikoto's thoughts, Oshemaru-sama cast a sideways glance at her, instantly seeing through her thick-skinned nature.

"Silent!" The Great Elder shouted, controlling the scene, "Don't be rude to Madam!"

After all, Meiqin is also the wife of the patriarch, and the few people who were still yelling sat down blushing and holding their breath, and had to hold back to apologize to Meiqin.

The Great Elder coughed again and continued: "Mrs. Meiqin just didn't express it very well. Regarding Konoha, even if it doesn't make sense, we still have to speak up. Problems always have to be solved, and the important thing is the method used. This time, The Uchiha clan will take a step back..."

Hearing that someone was about to get violent again, the Great Elder pressed his hands to stop those people's next actions, "However, our principles and bottom line will never change. Over there in the village, I will personally mediate. Please take care of the business for the time being, please!" The Great Elder lowered his head, and there were countless silver strands on the top of his hair.

All the Uchiha returned the salute, expressing their willingness to follow the instructions.

With the great elder's own strength, he managed to turn the tide. Of course, it was all because of everyone's trust in the elder.After the meeting, everyone left, and Meiqin stood behind the elder, watching his old back suddenly collapse.

"The problems in the village and the clan have always existed, but some people can't see them, some people don't care about them, and some people widen the gap." The elder's eyes were not on Miqin at all, so she was not sure about the old man. Is it speaking to her.

The Great Elder stood up again, rolled up his sleeves, and stepped out of the secret room: "I'm getting old, it's time to hand it over to you young people."
