[Naruto] The big battle to transform the image of the patriarch

Chapter 22 The day the election results were announced

In the huge square, there were dense crowds, strangely quiet.

There are only the fluttering of flags and clothes, and the increasingly frantic brushing of countless newspapers.

"Election results? Is there anything to explain." Mana's voice was so clear, "What should be, is what should be. The newspapers are clearly written in black and white, do you want me to read it to you every word?"

The other party seemed to be shocked by her same calmness as before.

Mana's gaze scanned the faces of the five people.Uchiha Shunichi was in the center, and the other four were half a step behind him, as if they were guarding him.

In addition to Uchiha Shunichi, there are Uchiha Jun, Uchiha Kazuhiko, Uchiha Kento, and Uchiha Ryohei.

She knows them all.

These five people, when they were young, faced her with gritted teeth and punched each other; when they grew up, they also fought side by side and fought bloody battles.

Among them, who was really angry at this result but was used by others, and who just wanted to use it as a springboard to challenge her and the person behind her?

And behind them, who else?

But the silence here was only for a moment.

The next moment, Uchiha Shunichi rearmed his vivid rage and sarcasm.

He took a step forward, the newspaper in his hand was rolled into a tube, pointed straight at Mana like a sword.

The newspaper screamed sharply in its rapid waving.

"Of course it's an explanation, how you abused your power and asked the whole clan to accompany you to stage a farce in full view of all Konohas, and finally trampled on the honor of the Uchiha clan!" Uchiha Shunichi's voice became louder and louder , and almost growled at the end, "Don't pretend to be stupid..."

"...Uchiha, Mana!!"

"Uchiha Clan Regulations" No. 70 three articles, comments, when openly questioning, should be called directly by name, so as to avoid the success or failure of the debate due to the dignity of the address.Signed, the seventh generation Uchiha patriarch.

The entire square was silent.

goo-dong-

Someone swallowed.

Mana stared at him, expressionless.

She raises her arms.

brush--

Uchiha Shunichi took a step back reflexively, withdrew his hands and made a guard, and a look of vigilance appeared on his face.

However, Mana just gently embraced her arms.

She bent the corners of her mouth, although her eyes were gloomy.

"Eloquence has improved, Junyi." She said slowly, "I can use rhetoric now."

[One of the winning rules of debate: always maintain a confident attitude.People sympathize with the weak, but follow the strong. 】laugh.

There seemed to be a muffled laugh from the crowd.

Uchiha Toshiichi turned his head abruptly, and his shameful and angry eyes swept across these tribesmen who were also holding newspapers, but that laugh was like a tiny wave rising from the sea, disappearing forever in this deep blue sea.

"Junyi!" Standing beside him, Kazuhiko showed obvious dissatisfaction, and called out to him in embarrassment.

Junyi suddenly had an illusion, as if everything today was slightly out of place with his expected ending since that sneer.

Missing by the slightest, the difference...

illusion!

After all, Uchiha Shunichi is a fighter in the Kurari battlefield.

"It's useless to evade the problem, Uchiha Mana," he grinned and made a sarcasm smile, and the hands that were originally on guard turned into the same arms as Mana's as much as possible, so as to appear nonchalant, "Or ..."

"...You are actually unable to answer this question, so you have to choose to escape?"

The person opposite had a gloomy gaze, but there seemed to be a sharp brilliance in his pupils that caught him firmly.

Junyi's fingers tightened, and his sleeves were pinched into tiny creases.

A few steps away, the dark blue clothes on the bodies of countless tribesmen undulated slightly, forming a tide.

And their eyes, silent but also heavy, like a black sea tide approaching silently.

Mana knew: at this moment, the eyes of the audience were all on her.

This tide-like gaze is not stinging, but it contains an indescribable and unnegligible sense of tension.

This is the pressure given by the public.The masses give you power, but they can take it back at some point.

She raised her head, her neck stretched out in a decisive arc.

"The word 'escape,'" she said decisively, even with a rare touch of arrogance, "was never in our Uchiha dictionary."

After saying this sentence, which sounded full of momentum, but was actually bursting with the second sense, Mana couldn't help but have an urge to laugh out loud.

However, such words are very useful for Uchiha.Because in that tide-like gaze, the tension relaxed a little.

If there is a camera aimed at this scene in Uchiha Plaza at this time, and the camera is further zoomed out, you can see the focus on the field-Uchiha Shunichi, Uchiha Mana, and even if they are silent so far, no one can ignore them Uchiha Madara, these three people just formed a triangle, and they all chose the same posture at the moment—back straight, arms folded, and chin raised slightly.

It's actually kind of ridiculous, or at least funny.

But among the people present now, no one would care about such side issues.

"...But the premise," Mana changed the subject, "the problem you mentioned really exists."

Uchiha-kun opened his mouth to speak.

Mana raised her right hand, raised her palm, and made a stop gesture to Shunichi Uchiha, who had opened his mouth slightly, but the latter actually closed his mouth subconsciously.When he came to his senses, Mana withdrew her hand, and continued her unhurried rebuttal.

Junyi clenched his teeth in annoyance.

"However, what exactly are you asking me to explain?" Mana suddenly raised her voice, and took a step to the left, turning half to face the crowd, her eyes were firm and open, "Or, is there any one of my compatriots present here?" , think I need to explain anything?"

Before this question, which seemed to be cheating, was questioned, Mana went on like a cannonball: "Explain why the first generation of Hokage is Senjujuma? Does this kind of question need to be answered? Didn't we already know it more than a month ago? The rules of the Hokage election, do you know that the party with more votes will be elected in the end?"

"Or, what I should explain is actually abusing power, putting on farce, and trampling on family honor—" Chennai dragged out her voice, her gaze wandering through the crowd, not avoiding any of the clansmen who looked directly at her, "—these three Serious charges?"

Some frowned, some lowered their heads.

"Tell me," her voice suddenly softened, but there was a lot of determination on her face, "Everyone here, look back at the past when we fought side by side, look back at our life in Konoha, think about when we walked on the street The warm eyes I saw, the sincere hospitality I received, think about the praise we heard for the entire Uchiha clan. Tell me, do you also think these three accusations are valid?"

Has Mana Uchiha abused his power and harmed the interests of the family?

Did everything she did constitute the so-called "farce"?

Even if the result is a bit embarrassing, is it really serious enough to trample on the family honor?

And the contributions she has made to the clan in the past so many years...

The expressions on many people's faces and subconscious small movements show that they are only now beginning to truly participate in the thinking of this public inquiry.

Only when the clansmen really start to think for themselves can their subsequent statements make sense.

[The second rule of winning the debate: maintain communication with the audience.Arouse the interest of the audience and let them participate in your discussion along your train of thought. 】Mana turned around lightly again, and turned to face the five people on the opposite side again.In the process of turning around, she wanted to take a sneak peek at the expression of the person on the stage, but unfortunately the sunlight shot from behind him obliquely, leaving only a delicate silhouette on her retina.

She puffed one cheek in frustration, but she didn't know that this little gesture was so cute that the person on the stage raised her lips unconsciously.

"Shunichi, can you do it!" Ryohei, who had been impatient for a long time, raised his leg and passed Junichi, and said loudly to Mana, "Mana! I don't know what other people think, so I'll just say it. I don't I know whether your behavior is considered abuse of power, but you have been tossing around the village for more than a month, so that everyone knows that our Uchiha is eyeing Hokage's position. Now that such a result has come out, have you ever thought about Uchiha's position in Konoha? What does it look like in people's eyes? You are at least responsible for this, right?"

Ryohei is a young man with shoulder-length hair and a tough face. There is a scar from the war on his face, and he looks rough and handsome.He is the outermost of the five, closer to the crowd.Between him and Junyi is Kazuhiko, who had stopped Junyi from embarrassing before.

"What's it like?" Mana asked immediately.

"Shame!" Ryohei said without even thinking about it, "Mana, before you asked everyone to build the infrastructure you mentioned with the people of Senshou, everyone went; you said that you are not allowed to fight with others, so everyone just endured it ;I couldn't bear to be punished by you to do things for ordinary people without pay, and everyone went too. The reason why everyone let you command is that the first is that the patriarch trusts you, and the second is that everyone has seen the contribution you made to the family in the past. The third is because doing so has really given our Uchiha clan a good reputation..."

Ryohei and Mana looked at each other.

A smile suddenly flashed in Mana's eyes.

Ryohei is explaining to her.Uchiha Shunichi’s question at the beginning was actually very vague. At first glance, it seemed simple—of course, if he was not selected, he did not get enough votes. But behind the question was the whole family’s resentment, anger, and dissatisfaction with this huge failure. Mana who is responsible for all of this questioned.In other words, the other party deliberately used vague questions and harsh words to mobilize the crowd's emotions, so as to ignore the irrationality behind the question, and hoped to disrupt Chennai's position.

[The third rule of winning the debate: Appropriate sensationalism helps to resonate with the audience and you. 】But now Ryohei is standing on the same position as Shunichi, with a face full of anger that is even worse than Shunichi's, and he seems to be reckless and rude, but he directly clarifies the problem.

Only when you make it clear can you refute.

Well, this guy Ryohei has become cunning, and he even knows he has entered the enemy camp.

[The fourth rule of winning the debate: However, justification is always more powerful than pure incitement. 】Ryohei continued to clarify the question with "dissatisfaction" and "anger".

"...But Mana, you started to get carried away after the election started?!" The corners of his mouth curled down, looking a little ferocious, "It's embarrassing to publish brochures with great fanfare and force everyone to take to the streets to distribute them. Forget it, after all, the Senju Clan is also doing it, but what is that supplement? It’s boring and useless, and it seems that our Uchiha Clan is willing to do anything for the election. It’s just a little bit worse than shameless. ?”

Ryohei bastard!This word... When explaining it to her, she was also venting her dissatisfaction with being gossiped? ! .Mana's expression remained unchanged, and she cursed inwardly, wasn't she quite happy when she accepted the little girl's flowers!He was so stupid when he was young, but he became really cunning when he grew up.

Uchiha Jun felt that something was wrong early in the morning, but as a whole in the eyes of others, he tried to interrupt Ryohei several times, but Kazuhiko quietly pulled him back.

"The previous contributions are obvious to all" "The Uchiha clan has achieved a good reputation"?What are you talking about? !Also, what do you mean by "just the regular issue"?In addition, what does it mean to point out that the Thousand Hands are also doing it? !

It's like Junichi Uchiha just dug a hole in front, and his teammates filled it in behind!

His temples throbbed with anger.

Qi returns to Qi, and battles are fought.

"Uchiha Mana!" He preemptively yelled loudly, his voice was loud and full of emotion, and the focus of the audience became him again in an instant.

"What else do you have to say?!" Junyi was aggressive, his yellow-brown eyes full of malice, "It is because of you that the reputation accumulated by our ancestors was shamed, and the whole clan couldn't lift their heads after you. your..."

The sun was slowly approaching the mid-heaven, and the temperature in the square rose. The last drop of dew on the tip of the grass reflected the tense scene, then trembled, rolled down suddenly, disappeared in the dust and was evaporated.

"...You, like this, can you still sit on the position of the advisory group with peace of mind? Don't you, everyone, still feel at ease to let this person who brings us humiliation control our lives like before?!"

He also quickly learned what Mana did. He turned around and opened his arms to the crowd with an agitated expression, trying to confuse the emotions of the people.

Unfortunately, when the tribe looked at each other and began to give him feedback hesitantly, Mana's voice sounded.

"Bullshit!"

Loud.

After blocking the undercurrent on the field with a loud rebuke, Mana said to the crowd: "Everything I have done is good or bad, and everyone can judge for themselves. If I really shame you, I, Uchiha Mana will never shirk responsibility. But before that, there is one thing I must explain."

The sun shines on her young and confident face.

"This explanation is a bit long, so I hope you don't interrupt me." She stared at the five people opposite.

The crowd watched the five with her.

Shunichi wanted to speak, but Ryohei said bluntly: "The public questioning originally wanted an answer, Mana, tell me!"

Others can only choose to nod.

"I want to ask everyone here a question: What is democracy? What is an election? The situation we are facing now is obviously different from what it used to be. We Uchiha took the initiative to choose peaceful coexistence with the old enemy Senju clan for many years. It is us I chose to build a place to live with other people, whether it is ninjas or ordinary people. And when such an unprecedented collective is to continue, a strong and wise leader is bound to be needed to point out the way ahead. This is There is no doubt. From this point of view, it can even be said that Konoha is also a family, a family that is bigger than all previous families."

"However, please pay attention, this unprecedented 'family' is different from our Uchiha, Senju next door, Sarutobi and Shimura on the opposite side. Our families are united by blood ties .Blood ties endow us with an innate bond that makes us innately able to live together."

"But Konoha's 'family' is not like this. Are we Uchihas related to Senshou? Are we related to Sarutobi, Shimura, and even many ordinary people on the street? The answer is no. Then How are we going to live together? How are we going to decide who will lead us?"

"I see that many people are thinking at this moment, and many people are looking at the newspaper in their hands. Maybe you have the answer in your heart, and the answer is the same as what I want to say..."

"...It's trust. We must trust each other. To get along with people outside our family, we must trust each other. I believe that whether it is us or the other party, we will not face swords at the moment we pass each other on the street. We need I know that the person who bears the name of 'Hokage' and leads us forward is indeed a trustworthy person."

"But how can we live with mutual trust? How can we be sure that the people at the top of the village are trustworthy?"

"We have to communicate. Even, we Uchiha, as a glorious and proud family, we should see farther than others. We must take the initiative to reach out."

"Although taking the initiative to reach out means that sometimes we have to bear some grievances that we have not suffered... Some people laughed, such as farming, right? But in the end, our kindness will definitely be exchanged for the same kindness."

"There is also Hokage. Everyone in the village hopes that Hokage is someone they trust, and what we trust is, of course..."

She turned around, finally able to stare at the person on the high platform openly, and smiled at him.

And he is no longer in the backlight at this moment.His expression was clearly imprinted in her eyes, and what seemed unmoved by others was an imperceptible encouragement to her.

"...Of course our patriarch, Uchiha Madara."

"However," she turned back, but the momentary gaze had already given her great encouragement, "our trust alone is not enough. Others must have the same trust as we do, and most Only when people have the same trust as we do, can our wishes come true."

"Since the patriarch took office, there has never been a time when he has not done his best for the entire Uchiha clan. In the past battlefields, it was the patriarch who stood at the forefront of everyone and blocked the most powerful attack of the enemy for us; Today, the reason why we are able to stand here is also because the patriarch undertook tremendous pressure and forged a seal of reconciliation with the Thousand Hands Clan."

"When the patriarch and I walked on the streets of Konoha, the people we met saluted us. I knew that this honor was not for me personally, but for the patriarch and the whole Uchiha clan."

"This is the trust brought about by our joint efforts. This is the trust that we have endured grievances and reached out in exchange for it."

"Today, although we got a result of failure, this result makes you feel very uncomfortable. I also feel uncomfortable in my heart. The patriarch also feels uncomfortable in his heart. If it is because of this sadness, you want to blame me, I have no choice but to blame me." It can be said, because I also deeply blame myself for this."

"However, we are not facing a difficult situation. The trust we worked hard for is still there, not only there, but if we don't give up trying, this trust will only grow deeper."

"Trust itself is an honor. The effort to gain trust is like the sacrifice we made for the family in the past. It is also an honor."

"And this trust, this honor, will always shine on Uchiha's path, and let the whole world witness our light."

"That's all I want to say."

small theater:

1. Mana: "But Konoha's 'family' is not like this. Are we Uchiha and Senju related by blood?"

Immortal of the Six Paths: Cough cough cough cough cough cough, I'm sorry, but I have to say, there are really...

Indra: ... ==

Ashura: ...Ahahahaha.

2. Mana: "Is there a blood relationship with Sarutobi, Shimura, and even many ordinary people on the street?"

Mana; when I said this, I thought to myself, don’t say it, maybe everyone’s ancestors were the same monkey many years ago hahaha...

Madara: ...I'm not.
