After playing with Koshina for a while, Li sent her home. It was already late at night, and Li's work was almost done. After a busy day, although he did not do much, he was tired. Sitting alone on the way home, it was quiet everywhere. The territory below the security department was under the jurisdiction of Uchiha, and outsiders did not dare to step in.
"Come out. Aren't you tired after following me for so long?”
Li frowned slightly and looked at the wall beside him. He had felt someone following him since he left the security department. If he had not sensed the other party's killing intent, he would have attacked first.
Whoosh!
Just as Li's voice fell, a masked ninja appeared in front of Li and said lightly," Uchiha Li, the Great Elder has summoned you. Come with me!"”
Li narrowed his eyes when he heard the masked ninja's words. He suddenly recalled the incident with Uchiha Hayashi during the day. If he was not wrong, this Great Elder was probably trying to recruit him. Thinking of this, Li had an idea.
"Lead the way!" Li looked at the masked ninja and said indifferently.
Li's straightforwardness stunned the masked ninja. He thought that it would take some effort, but the masked ninja didn't think so much. He was just a messenger. After getting Li's answer, the masked ninja turned around and jumped up the left wall. Li didn't hesitate and followed the masked ninja.
The Uchiha clan had two main parts. One part was where the low-ranking clansmen lived, which was closer to the periphery. The other part was where the important members of the clan lived, which was closer to the inner part. As the clan leader, Uchiha Hiroshi lived in the middle. The so-called First Elder was someone he had never seen before. After running with the masked ninja for a few minutes, he soon arrived in front of a courtyard and pushed the door open. He saw an old man sitting in front of a small pond leisurely sipping tea. The old man was wearing a loose black kimono. In front of him was a small black cedar table with an exquisite tea set.
"Great Elder, the person has been brought here!”The masked ninja bowed slightly, then walked to the Great Elder's side and whispered a few words.
"Okay, I understand. You can leave first!”The Great Elder nodded slightly and took a sip of tea as if nothing had happened. Then, he placed the cup on the table.
After receiving the First Elder's order, the masked ninja did not stop at all. He directly disappeared from where he was.
Li narrowed his eyes slightly. When the masked ninja left, he couldn't feel any aura at all. This made Li secretly worried. He thought that the other party must have done this on purpose to be discovered by him. He was ashamed that he thought this person had no ability.
"Hehe, you must be Li Uchiha! Come and sit!" The Great Elder chuckled and pointed at a white cushion opposite him.
"Yes!" Li didn't act pretentious and directly went forward to sit opposite the Great Elder.
Li's behavior made the Great Elder's eyes light up. Logically speaking, Li only gave a faint " hmm ", which was very impolite. However, this kind of behavior was reasonable for the Great Elder. It was the duty of humans to follow their hearts. It was the most unacceptable thing for the Great Elder to always distort his behavior for some complicated etiquette.
"He really looks like Lord Ban!" The Great Elder sized Li up slightly. His cold facial features had a trace of Uchiha Ban's youth, and his arrogant black hair was slightly slanted behind.
Li's hairstyle was modeled after Uchiha's spots. It was simple and easy to do. Every morning, he just brushed his hair back. He didn't have to spend much time on it. It was easy and casual.
"Are you interested in a drink?" The Great Elder looked away as if nothing had happened. Then, he took out another cup and filled it with tea before moving it to Li.
"First Elder, it's getting late. If you have anything to say, just say it!”Li waved his hand and said indifferently. He was not in the mood to drink tea now. Moreover, he had never had the hobby of tasting tea. Drinking tea was only to quench his thirst. Why was there a need to use it to show off?
Of course, Li Hui was so direct mainly because he found the Great Elder pleasing to the eye. When the Great Elder asked him to sit down, Li Hui deliberately responded simply and then sat down without any politeness. This action was just to test the Great Elder's attitude. However, the Great Elder did not get angry, but instead showed admiration. Therefore, Li Hui now more or less understood the Great Elder's character. Or rather, he had a little guess about which faction the Great Elder belonged to.
"Haha!" The Great Elder didn't mind Li's impolite words. Instead, it reminded him of Uchiha Ban. He wanted Li to have this kind of momentum, this kind of state of mind that didn't put anyone in his eyes. After a faint smile, the Great Elder put away his smile and said in a deep voice," Li, what do you think of Uchiha and Kiba now?”
Li nodded slightly after hearing the Great Elder's words. It seemed like he had thought the same thing. The Great Elder was probably the leader of the group of people who were dissatisfied with being forced to live in Kiba. Back then, Uchiha and Thousand Hands joined forces to establish Kiba Village. Uchiha Ban's temperament changed drastically after reading the Uchiha family's stone tablet. He wanted to lead the Uchiha family to start another war, but most of the people did not want to continue fighting at that time, so he rejected Uchiha Ban's suggestion. Only a small portion of the clansmen agreed. However, Uchiha Ban was disheartened and left this small portion of the clansmen behind in anger. The small portion of the clansmen who were left behind were probably the Great Elder and some of his wings.
"Back then, the Uchiha Clan and the Thousand-Hand Clan had joined forces to establish Kinoha Village. Their original intention was to bring peace to the world. However, ever since the death of the first generation Naruto, the village began to suppress our Uchiha Clan. Originally, Kinoha was jointly established by the Uchiha Clan and the Thousand-Hand Clan. If the first Naruto were to be succeeded by a member of the Thousand-Hand Clan, then according to the rules, the second Naruto should have been a member of our Uchiha Clan. However, after the battle between Ban and the Thousand-Hand Pillar in the Valley of Eradication, he disappeared." We don't know if he's dead or alive, and the Thousand-Hand Clan has lost the threat of Ban, so they started to suppress our Uchiha Clan. The second Naruto has been taken over by the Thousand-Hand Clan again. Now, our Uchiha Clan is led by the Clan Leader, and our clansmen have become more and more used to being submissive. We've lost our dignity as the strongest clan in the Ninja Realm. Even a small Hinata Clan dares to compare themselves to our Shurunyan with the whites of their eyes." Even some civilian ninjas dared to use the name of Naruto to question me, Uchiha!”As Li spoke, he slapped the table, causing the tea to spill. This made the Great Elder excited. He did not expect that Li, who was only six years old, would already have such knowledge.
