Born with a great love for the Uchiha

That person, he looks like a dog...

Uchiha Gen and Izumi walked away side by side.

As for Uchiha Itachi who stayed behind?

Nobody cares.

"Senior Yuan looked incredibly cool just now!"

Uchiha Izumi chattered away like a joyful lark.

"But is it really alright to refuse the Third Hokage's invitation?"

"Of course it's fine."

Uchiha Gen waved his hand dismissively.

"What village law states that a ninja cannot refuse to join the Anbu?"

If he was just an ordinary ninja.

Uchiha Gen wouldn't be that confident.

But what can you do when his surname is "Uchiha"?

Do you understand the value of the original second-largest shareholder in the village's development?

Moreover.

The Dark Division is a "special forces unit for assassination tactics".

Their main responsibilities include protecting the Hokage and preventing external enemies, and sometimes they are also responsible for tasks such as reconnaissance and assassination.

What could Uchiha Gen do if he joined?

We can't just stand guard the gate for Hiruzen Sarutobi for a few months like Itachi Uchiha did, can we?

He was euphemistically called "the Hokage's personal bodyguard".

He's basically just the "Hokuto office doorman"!

Uchiha Gen is not Uchiha Itachi, and he likes to be a lackey of the Konoha higher-ups!

He's a man who wants to let the world feel love!

Seeing Gen's confident demeanor, Uchiha Izumi felt relieved and extended an invitation.

"Senior Yuan, would you like to come home with me for dinner? My mom said she'd be making lots of delicious food tonight!"

Uchiha Gen recalled Aunt Hazuki's graceful figure, and although he was very tempted, he still chose to refuse.

"Excuse me, I need to leave the village."

"Leave the village? Now?"

"Yes, I'm going to Nanhechuan Reservoir."

"Oh! Is it Grandma Cat's place?"

"Yes."

Gen Uchiha nodded.

Granny Cat is said to be a respectable black market merchant who broke away from the black market merchant clan.

Hmm, that sounds a bit convoluted...

Anyway, he's a black market dealer!

The Uchiha clan and the Cat Granny clan have known each other for many years.

In the eyes of many Uchiha ninjas.

Granny Cat's cat house is essentially the same as the Uchiha clan's exclusive weapon shop.

Uchiha Gen went to Granny Cat's place because of the [high-purity chakra metal] he had obtained earlier.

He needs to forge a weapon specifically for him!

……

Nanhechuan Reservoir.

This place is far from Konoha Village.

A cluster of ruined buildings stands silently near the reservoir.

Empty area.

This place was once a prosperous town, but unfortunately it was destroyed by war.

It has now become a gathering place for the cat grandmothers and ninja cats.

It took Uchiha Gen more than half an hour to travel all the way from the new clan's territory.

Once he entered the empty ruins and passed through a maze of passages, Granny Cat's cat house was just ahead.

"Nice to meet you, Grandma Cat, I am..."

Uchiha Gen greeted him politely and put down the gift he had prepared in advance—a deer antler from the Nara clan.

"There aren't many polite and well-behaved children like you left in the Uchiha clan!"

Grandma Cat had a full head of gray hair, was very energetic, and was holding a long pipe in her hand.

"What kind of weapon do you want to have made here by the old woman?"

"Grandma Cat, please take a look."

Uchiha Gen took out the piece of [high-purity chakra metal] and handed it over.

"This is the main ingredient."

"Ok?"

Grandma Cat looked old, but she moved very nimbly. Her eyes lit up as soon as she received the chakra metal.

"Wow! High purity, a rare find!"

Even in the large and powerful Konoha Village.

Chakra-based metal weapons are also quite rare.

And in Granny Cat's long career as a black market merchant.

The quality of this chakra metal is definitely among the best!

"Grandma Cat".

Uchiha Gen waited until the other party finished inspecting the chakra metal before speaking.

"I want to forge a ninja sword."

Gen Uchiha's reason for choosing the ninja sword is simple—

The family legacy is extensive and strong!

Looking at the entire ninja world, the Uchiha-style swordsmanship can be considered top-notch.

"A short sword? A long sword? Or a nodachi?"

Grandma Cat gently stroked the chakra metal in her hand.

"If the old woman has one more thing to say, the smaller the size, the higher the purity of the chakra metal, and the higher the quality of the weapon."

"A short sword!"

"no problem."

Granny Cat put away the chakra metal.

"It will take about a week to forge the short knife. Come and pick it up in a week."

"Thank you for your hard work, Mother-in-law."

"It's not hard to create tools, it's hard to create tools."

Grandma Cat said meaningfully.

“Mida (Yuan), you’re a good kid. The atmosphere in the Uchiha clan has been a bit off lately. You mustn’t hang out with those unhappy and mindless guys and go astray…”

He is a weapons merchant exclusively for the Uchiha clan.

Grandma Cat does know a little about certain things.

Considering the Uchiha boy's sweet talk and polite manners, Granny Cat didn't mind giving him a few subtle reminders.

Uchiha Gen understood immediately and exchanged a few more pleasantries with Granny Cat.

A gold panel suddenly appeared.

[Show care for elderly cat-loving grandmothers living alone without children!]

You have accomplished a great act of love!

You have earned 222 Love Points!

You have obtained the [Rank C - Summoning Technique]!

[Spiritual communication]?

Gen Uchiha grinned.

"Grandma, I've heard that many ninja cats live here. I wonder if there are any that I can form a contract with?"

"A psychic contract?"

Grandma Cat didn't refuse; she just clapped her hands.

"Ladies and gentlemen, come out and greet our guests!"
