Chapter 167 Hand over Uchiha Madara

"Mr. Ko... Kozo!? Why did you condescend to come to Uchiha!"

Fugaku's eyes widened in shock at the tiny bug in front of him.

You have to know that Gu Zang is the first generation's summoning beast, Konoha's living fossil! No matter from which aspect, he will not and should not have any connection with the Uchiha.

Only Uchiha has the right to greet Gu Zang, but how can Gu Zang come down to see Uchiha in person!

"Little Fugaku, the ninja world is in turmoil, and an old man like me is really worried.

Today I am trying to save my old face and come to Uchiha to explore. I wonder if my old face can win some favor from the Uchiha clan leader. "

This is too serious!

Uchiha Fugaku's heart was pounding, even more intensely than when he killed the first enemy in his life on the battlefield of River Country.

Even an old guy like Gu Zang has come forward, and he speaks so tactfully, how serious must the matter be!

Fugaku didn't dare to take any more responsibility, so he immediately picked up the ancient treasure carefully, looked around to see if there was anyone passing by the door, and then carried the ancient treasure into the house.

Looking at the Kozo on the table, Fugaku was a little flustered. What should he do? If he looked at the tea, with Mr. Kozo's small body, would he lie on the teacup to drink it? Or even dive into the teacup?

How can we receive such a high-class and special bug? Waiting online is urgent!

Gu Zang looked at Fugaku, who didn't know where to put his arms, and couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.

Compared to those two old guys, Hiruzen and Danzo, Fugaku has too little experience.

Just like on the battlefield of River Country back then, the seemingly smart and flexible brain is actually too shrewd. Thinking too much will only lead to endless internal friction. This is a common problem among smart people when they are still inexperienced.

As for why Gu Zang came to the Uchiha clan's territory, it can only be said that both the vertical and horizontal strategies are indispensable.

The current situation in Konoha is like a three-way confrontation.

The Hokage lineage is the only one in power, occupying half of Konoha. The old master Hiruzen is calm and steady, and his position is very stable.

Danzo was secretly watching the position of the Hokage, just waiting for Hiruzen to make a mistake so that he could counterattack, but in reality... he could only be the king of his own little piece of land.

The third family is the Uchiha, a faction connected by blood and marriage. It is not strong, but tenacious and has sufficient resilience.

The Uchiha force is the smallest, but just because it is small, Gu Zang cannot ignore it. After all, small ones are also very cute.

"The previous Uchiha clan leader once sent that brat, the Eighth Generation, to see me. I remember my advice to the Eighth Generation at that time was... the family tradition is gone forever, and the future of the ninja world will be ruled by the various villages."

"I've heard of this."

Fugaku rubbed his uneasy hands, knelt down at the table, and stared at the bug in front of him.

"But it's clear that things aren't going smoothly for the Uchiha clan... Fugaku, what are your thoughts? You are now the head of the Uchiha clan."

"my thoughts?"

When the Uchiha clan was mentioned, Fugaku finally calmed down a little. He slowly thought about the recent movements of the Uchiha clan and the arrangements he had in mind.

"Mr. Kozo, with all due respect, I feel that the village doesn't... the village and the Uchiha don't trust each other very much, even you..."

Fugaku hesitated for a long time, but finally expressed his true thoughts in a tactful way.

After all, Kozo is different from the Konoha high-level officials, and their purpose is contrary to Fugaku. As for Konoha's living fossil, it is well known that Kozo never participates in factional struggles within Konoha, nor does he interfere in any decision-making. He is only concerned with preserving Konoha.

Uchiha, isn't that part of Konoha?

Moreover, Gu Zang is not the summoning beast of Senju Tobirama, the evil guy, but the summoning beast of Senju Hashirama, who yearns for harmony in the village.

"So, the decision-making of the Uchiha clan is not solely up to me. Except for me as the clan leader, the elders of the Uchiha clan cannot make decisions. The real decision-making power is actually in the hands of the Hokage."

"I understand. That's why I'm asking you, Fugaku. What do you mean? What are your thoughts on the Uchiha? Where do you want to take the Uchiha?"

Fugaku was sweating profusely from Fuzang's continuous questions. He felt that no matter what he said, it would be wrong.

"me......"

"Is it difficult to speak, Fugaku?"

Gu Zang's tone remained calm. He took two steps towards Fugaku's desk, then slowly raised his head.

"The question is actually very simple. You should be the most clear-headed Uchiha and be able to figure it out. The Uchiha clan is going to live or die."

"live!"

Fugaku growled in response, then suppressed a deep gasp for breath.

He didn't bother to wipe away the sweat dripping from his forehead.

"Mr. Gu Zang, please tell me, I really don't understand why the Uchiha clan has reached such a serious state. Could it be that when I took over the Uchiha clan, it had already..."

Sweating profusely, Uchiha Fugaku lowered his head heavily, his eyes trembling constantly. Just as Hiruzen was most reluctant to face the fact that he would become a sinner of Konoha, Fugaku was also unwilling to become a sinner of Uchiha.

"It's actually very simple if you want to live. Just hand over Uchiha Madara."

"Wha...what?"

The room fell into an eerie silence, and Fugaku even thought he was hallucinating.

Uchiha Madara? What Uchiha Madara? Hasn't Madara been dead for thirty years?

"Fugaku, I don't want to repeat myself. I said, hand over Uchiha Madara.

I feel his presence. Don't blame me for not reminding you. Madara's presence in Konoha will only bring disaster to Konoha and the annihilation of the Uchiha clan!"

Fugaku shook his stiff neck, trying hard to shake his head. This was too big a matter, so big that he had never imagined it, nor dared to think about it. Uchiha Madara was still alive? In Konoha, in the Uchiha clan territory!?

"I...I don't know...Mr. Kozang, please, I really don't know! Isn't Uchiha Madara dead?!"

"Don't know? Dead? That might be Madara's descendant, right behind your house, Fugaku, are you still hiding it from me now? I will never forget Madara's aura, that powerful chakra, that unique smell."

"Behind the house?"

Fugaku looked towards the back of the house. There... that was where Mikoto was recuperating. Mikoto had just become pregnant and had not given birth yet.

"Mr. Kozo, the back of the house is where Iechi Mikoto lives and rests... and she's expecting a child."

Gu Zang was stunned, then fell into deep thought.

After a brief silence in the room, Gu Zang seemed to have come to his senses and sighed.

"Alas... Take me to see it. It's hard to tell whether it's a blessing or a curse..."

"This... is, Mr. Gu Zang."

Fugaku quickly wiped his sweaty hands on his clothes, then carefully picked up the ancient treasure and walked towards the backyard of his house.
