"That tasted good, my little princess."
Ronglin's obnoxious laughter slowly echoed in Uchiha Diqin's ears as he touched and then quickly withdrew.
Everyone in the hall stared at the two, frozen in place. Uchiha Diqin's admirers all wished they could tear Ronglin to shreds, but unfortunately, they didn't get a chance to act out. Fugaku Uchiha, who had just arrived from a distance, waved to Ronglin, and Ronglin left with a playful smile on his face.
"…"
Ronglin's scent disappeared; he had already left the hall. Uchiha Diqin slowly came back to her senses.
"Swish~~"
Her already flushed cheeks immediately turned blood red, almost dripping blood. She covered her face and fled the ancestral hall.
"Ugh~~~ That bastard, that bastard!!!"
Leaving the ancestral hall, Uchiha Diqin ran alone into the woods, kicking a large tree as if it were Ronglin, taking out her anger on it.
She had been kissed!!! Uchiha Diqin couldn't believe it, she had been kissed by Ronglin!!
Regarding Ronglin openly kissing his sister-in-law, Fugaku Uchiha did not express any opinion, as if the incident hadn't happened and he hadn't seen it.
Inside a secret room, there were only Ronglin and Fugaku Uchiha. After Uchiha Senshi prepared tea, he left the secret room, closing the door and standing guard outside.
Normally, he was Fugaku Uchiha's personal bodyguard; wherever Fugaku Uchiha was, he would be there.
"Since the founding of Konoha, the Uchiha Clan has always been on the periphery of the village."
Silently, Fugaku Uchiha spoke. Ronglin drank his tea, not uttering a sound, listening quietly.
"The Senju Clan's plan was to isolate the Uchiha in Konoha, to erode them with time until they lost all their rights. In fact, their plan has largely succeeded. Nowadays, apart from the Konoha Military Police Force, the Uchiha can barely grasp any other power."
Fugaku Uchiha sounded like he was telling a story, and Ronglin listened as if to a story.
"Any matter that involves the Uchiha will always bring out countless people who hold opposing opinions: the Sarutobi, Shimura, Hyuga, and even the Ino-Shika-Cho."
A hint of anger flashed in his eyes, but Fugaku Uchiha's voice showed no significant emotional fluctuation.
"And in terms of contributions to the village, the Uchiha have never fallen short, right?"
Ronglin spoke, directly addressing the Uchiha's greatest pain.
The Uchiha had no part in the benefits, but if there was trouble, the Uchiha had to participate. In Konoha, although the Uchiha belonged to a first-tier family, their say was basically zero.
Konoha has a history of more than thirty years since its establishment. During this period, whether it was wars or internal village matters, the Uchiha Clan's presence was indispensable. However, when it came to dividing the spoils, the Uchiha were isolated.
Originally, the Uchiha Clan members, for the sake of peace, abandoned following Madara Uchiha. But after peace, some people began to pursue their rightful power. Yet, neither Hashirama Senju nor Tobirama Senju would place important power in the hands of the Uchiha.
Konoha Military Police Force? It looked glorious and powerful, but the work involved offending people.
Any member of the Uchiha Clan would be unwilling, wanting to change all of this. But year after year, not only did the Uchiha's situation not change, it faced even more severe resistance.
Once, there were the Senju. After the Senju declined, the Hyuga stepped forward. No one knows if, after the Hyuga also decline, other clans will emerge.
For example, the Sarutobi, the Shimura, and even major clans like the Ino-Shika-Cho.
The greater the desire, the stronger the resistance.
In fact, there was one thing Ronglin couldn't figure out: was the village too strong or the Uchiha too weak?
He didn't know before, but after joining the Uchiha, Ronglin learned some information. In fact, among the major clans, in terms of the number and strength of their ninjas, the Uchiha were still Konoha's top clan.
Although the Hyuga Clan stirred up trouble, their numbers were a major weakness. If the Uchiha's patriarch were to take some action, what would Konoha's higher-ups do?
Rebellion? Only an idiot would do that. This was the most puzzling part.
Why rebel? Couldn't they protest? It could be said that the Uchiha Clan's arrogance accounted for a large part of the reason. If the Uchiha family protested like other families, would the Third Hokage still sit still?
If Ronglin were in power, although he couldn't guarantee it, he could at least make a large group of Konoha's higher-ups who were against the Uchiha frantic.
Did protesting mean losing the Uchiha's pride and dignity? If they couldn't even fight for their rightful power, what was that pride and dignity for?
"You're right, the Uchiha have made great contributions to the village, however…"
Fugaku Uchiha fell silent.
"Then what does the clan head mean?"
Fugaku Uchiha's meaning was too obvious. Ronglin still pretended to be foolish. There were some things he could participate in, but only as a participant. There were some things he could know, but he couldn't be the one to say them.
"The Uchiha need to reclaim what rightfully belongs to the family, and I think you know what that is."
Since it was a discussion, Fugaku Uchiha would not hide anything. If Ronglin chose not to speak, his words coming from Fugaku Uchiha's mouth would not cause discomfort to others, because the Uchiha Clan was indeed doing just that.
"A troubled time indeed."
Leaving the secret room, Ronglin did not participate in the subsequent celebration. After leaving the ancestral hall, Ronglin didn't expect Fugaku Uchiha to have such a big heart, and such courage. Some of his direct statements startled Ronglin.
The period of Konoha's chaos and hardship was not far off. He wondered what actions Fugaku Uchiha would take. If it was the same as in the original story, then today's conversation would just be idle talk.
That day, the Uchiha Clan Compound was filled with joy. All the Uchiha celebrated, and the lively day continued until late into the night.
The clan celebration was lively, but no outsiders participated. Everyone, from Konoha's higher-ups to ordinary villagers, found nothing strange about it. There was always one day like this every year; it was just a clan celebration. What big family didn't have such a celebration?
There were exceptions, however, such as the Hyuga Clan, whose family rules were strict to the point of being perverse.
