Chapter 109 Escape?
The elders waited for a long time without seeing anyone, and looked at each other in bewilderment. Finally, one of the elders glared and slammed his hand on the table, ordering a Jonin to capture Uchiha Gen.
"..." After Uchiha Gen arrived, he rolled his dead fish eyes and looked at the group of old people in front of him speechlessly. He really didn't understand why they had to drag him over. He was just a Jonin. Couldn't they just send someone to inform him if there was any news?
The reason why Uchiha Gen was late in arriving was mainly because he didn't know the way and didn't intend to ask. He just wandered around aimlessly and ended up in the Uzumaki clan's Namen Hall. Just as Uchiha Gen's eyes lit up and he was about to take a look at the Shinigami masks inside, he was grabbed by the Jonin following behind him.
Well... he originally wanted to use a trick to escape, but after suddenly feeling some strong gazes from around Namen Hall, he ultimately had to give up the idea.
What struck him as odd was how this Jonin knew he was there. Did they also possess the glass ball that belonged to the Third Hokage?
"...How did you find me?"
"Oh, because you always like to go over there when you have nothing to do, and you always want to take off the mask inside and wear it for fun. I just went to try my luck." The Jonin said, clearly already numb to Uchiha Gen's actions.
"..." Uchiha Gen.
At this moment, an elder coughed lightly and said, "Alright, Yiteng, you can go now."
"yes!"
When only the elders and Uchiha Gen remained, the elders did not put on any airs or question him.
Instead, he pulled Uchiha Gen to a seat with a somewhat serious expression, and as if seeking advice, took out a map and analyzed the current situation for Uchiha Gen.
"..." Uchiha Gen was a little confused by this situation, but what was even more intriguing was what exactly "he" had done?
After carefully reading the analysis and intelligence, Uchiha Gen fell into deep thought. The Uzumaki clan had already discovered the problem. First, all the messages they had sent to Konoha had gone unanswered. The attitude of the surrounding ninja villages towards the Uzumaki clan did not seem to be one of respect, but rather as if they wanted to distance themselves from them.
In addition, there was another piece of news that came from an unknown source: the siege of Konoha by the major ninja villages had temporarily eased, and the two sides were locked in a stalemate. It seemed that as long as the Uzumaki clan sent someone to support Konoha, the outcome would be decided.
"...What are you trying to say?"
The elders exchanged glances. "We think what you say makes sense, and we plan to proceed according to your plan."
Uchiha Gen nodded slightly upon hearing this, staring at the map in front of him with a serious expression in silence.
"..."
So you guys tell me, what exactly was the plan I mentioned?
It was as if I could hear Gen Uchiha's inner thoughts.
The elder who had slammed the table earlier suddenly spoke up, "Then we'll leave the relocation of our clansmen to you. After all, you're currently the strongest in our clan. We're all old bones, and if someone from a high-ranking position suddenly disappears, it will definitely arouse suspicion."
"!!! You guys are not kidding?" Uchiha Gen was shocked upon hearing this, his brows furrowing. This was no small matter. Even if they escaped this time, if things went wrong, the entire Uzumaki clan might become homeless. As time went by, their confidence would gradually be eroded, and they would be slowly devoured by other ninja villages.
"Nobody wants this to happen... but the problem is that the entire ninja world can no longer tolerate us."
"..."
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Gen closed his eyes slightly to calm himself down. He really wanted to slap these elders on the head, but his voice remained calm as he said, "It's those ninja villages that can't tolerate the vortex, not the ninja world. I'm telling you this not so that our clansmen can hide in hiding."
