Chapter 240 The Will of Fire is So Easy to Use

Not only them, but even the clansmen who used to stand on Fugaku's side felt that their Clan Head has lost his mind.

'Even if you are dissatisfied with the attitude of these people, you can't just make such a stupid choice!'

'Those two Jōnin are both likely to become the Hokage in the future and become the key characters in changing Uchiha Clan's situation, but now, we have offended both of them all at once.'

'Clan Head, what are you thinking?'

Many people even secretly suspect that their Clan Head position has fallen to the radicals' side.

Just when everyone was thinking about what to say, a Chunin came in and reported, "Clan Head-sama, Jōnin Minato and Jōnin Sōseki said that they came to the meeting at your request, should I let them in?"

Fugaku said with a smile, "Let them come in."

After saying that, he looked at the three people with encouraging eyes, "Sanhi-senpai, Jiri-senpai, and Hakutsuru-senpai, I'll leave the rest to you next!"

Sanhi and Jiri barely squeezed out words, "I, we..."

But before they could finish speaking, they heard the braggart Hakutsuru saying, "No problem, leave it to the three of us."

Hearing this, the corners of their mouths twitched, 'You old bastard, even if you agreed, it has nothing to do with us.'

While they are still speaking, Sōseki and Minato walked in side by side.

Fugaku coughed, "You two, is there anything you want to explain?"

As soon as the voice fell, everyone in the room felt their heart turned heavy.

'Clan Head, don't be so aggressive!'

Minato said apologetically, "Sorry, it stands to reason that I shouldn't interfere in Uchiha's affairs, but both Kakashi and Obito are my disciples. I really can't just sit back and ignore this kind of thing."

Sōseki followed with a nod, "Obito and Kakashi are both my friends. So today, I am disturbing everyone from their friends' standpoint."

The attitudes of both of them are very humble, and they are not as overwhelming as some people imagined.

But seeing the attitudes of the two of them are modest and courteous, the fear in their hearts deepened.

Be aware that the two names of Shimizu Sōseki and Namikaze Minato not only represent them, but also the powerful force that follows them.

In this case, there is no need for them to do anything at all. As long as they show their attitude a little bit, a large group of people will jump out to speak for them.

Thinking of this, some people hurriedly tried to smoothen the things.

"You're not bothering, you're not bothering."

"Everyone is a friend, just say it clearly."

Hearing this, Hakutsuru frowned in dissatisfaction. "What do you mean speak clearly? We should just gouge that eye out."

Everyone closed their eyes in pain and unable to carry it!

Minato cast his gaze towards Hakutsuru and said, "This senior, can you explain why you think so?"

Hakutsuru then said as if it was a matter of fact, "What other reason is there? The biggest reason is to not let the Uchiha Clan's bloodline spread."

Hearing this, Minato explained patiently, "It's just a simple transplant, it won't change the bloodline in the body. Even if Kakashi have descendants in the future, his children will only inherit the name of the Hatake Clan."

Hakutsuru frowned and said, "That's not true. After all, there has never been a precedent for this kind of thing."

"The reason there is no precedent is because each clan in the Warring States Period was an enemy, but now, it is different. Each clan in the village is a companion... If you keep the concept in the past, could it be that the Uchiha Clan consider itself a clan outside the village?"

Hearing Minato said it so seriously, everyone in the room was startled.

"No way, how is it possible?"

"Ha, haha, we Uchiha have always loved everyone."

Hearing this, Hakutsuru was depressed for a while. No matter how stubborn he was, he knew that this kind of political correctness could not be denied.

The depression in his heart has nowhere to be vent, and he saw Sanhi and Jiri putting their heads down like ostriches, he suddenly became angry, "Sanhi, Jiri, what do you two think?"

The two secretly cursed Hakutsuru in their hearts, and then raised their heads weakly.

"I believed that the Clan's eyes should indeed be recovered... However, we can wait for Hatake Kakashi to die in battle or of old age before getting his eye back."

"I think so too."

Minato said with a smile, "That is very appropriate..."

However, Hakutsuru interrupted with a darkened expression, "Absolutely not, how can Uchiha's power be stolen by outsiders!"

"Then let me put it another way." Minato said helplessly, "That Sharingan is Obito's gift to Kakashi. The Uchiha Clan has no right to take it back, right?"

"What kind of nonsense is that? How can a child's decision be taken into consideration?" Hakutsuru insisted, "Moreover, Sharingan belongs to the entire Uchiha Clan, and he has no right to make this decision on behalf of the clan!"

"In other words, does the clan's interests outweigh personal feelings?" Sōseki, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked.

Hakutsuru didn't think there was anything wrong with this, and said without hesitation, "That's right."

Sōseki smiled slightly and said, "Then, what about clan's interests compared to the overall situation of the village?"

"Of course it's clan..." Before he could finish speaking, the person next to him covered his mouth.

"Haha, he wants to say that the interests of the clan of course can't compare to the village's overall situation!"

Hakutsuru removed the palm that is covering his mouth with a look of irritation. "Even so, how could Obito's eye have any effet on the overall situation of the village?"

"Of course it has an impact." Sōseki analyzed with a stern face, "First, Obito's dying will represents the friendship on the battlefield. Your approach is bound to affect everyone's enthusiasm for participating in the war! If it affects the war situation, can you bear this responsibility?"

"Second, the friendship of the two of them spanning life and death has crossed the relationship between clans, which is in line with the Will of Fire. Their deeds will undoubtedly give everyone a deeper understanding of the Will of Fire. Are you trying to deny the Will of Fire by doing this?"

Hearing this, the way everyone looked at Sōseki was filled with fears, 'To be able to connect Obito's eye with the war situation and the Will of Fire. His ability to sublimate the subject is too strong!'

'Should we say as expected of the one who inherited Hokage-sama's brainwashi...cough cough Will of Fire?'

Hakutsuru stared at Sōseki, but he was unable to say anything.

He was checkmated!

Seeing that the discussion is almost over, Fugaku said, "Well, let's each take a step back then. Didn't Jōnin Sōseki said that Hatake Kakashi's deeds are important? Then let him prove himself in the war."

"As long as Hatake Kakashi can prove himself in the war and prove that he will not disgrace Sharingan's reputation, then our Uchiha Clan will not pursue this matter anymore!"

Sōseki and Minato looked at each other and after a moment of "contemplation", both of them said, "Okay."

Fugaku looked to the side again and asked, "Hakutsuru-senpai, what's your opinion?"

Hakutsuru turned his head awkwardly and said, "Let's do that."

Seeing that the matter has been resolved satisfactorily, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

After calming down, they couldn't help but secretly shocked, 'We didn't expect Clan Head to be so reliable!'

Fugaku and Sōseki looked at each other and smiled, giving each other a thumbs up for their acting skills in their hearts.
