Konoha: I, Uchiha, am brimming with positive energy

Chapter 11 Let Yang Yi Admit His Mistakes (Please Read On)

"Fugaku-kun, that's how it is. Chunin Sakuma also made mistakes, but I still hope that everyone will treat the people in the village as family. If you encounter this situation, you can come to me, and I will stand up for Yoichi-kun."

Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke kindly to Fugaku Uchiha, who nodded with a slightly somber expression.

"Lord Hokage, this time it was Yoichi who acted recklessly. I will punish him when I get back. The Uchiha clan will also cover the medical expenses for that Sakuma-kun."

"Fugaku, it's good that you mean well, but Sakuma also made mistakes. He shouldn't have spoken ill of Uchiha Yoichi in public."

The Third Hokage said with a slightly more serious tone, "I have emphasized many times that everyone in Konoha is one family, so I will not overlook Sakuma's mistake just because he is injured."

"My lord, your magnanimity is truly admirable!"

Fugaku Uchiha was somewhat moved. His thoughts were correct; the Third Hokage was someone who could bridge the gap between the Uchiha and Konoha.

"If we have children in the future, let's name them after our father, the Third Hokage."

After the conversation ended, Fugaku Uchiha returned to the police force and sent someone to Konoha Hospital to deliver Sakuma's medical expenses.

Then, Fugaku Uchiha summoned Rin Uchiha, who was a squad leader in the security force and a relatively influential supporter of the clan head's faction.

"Chieftain, what brings you here?"

"Senior Kagami, have you met Uchiha Yoichi?"

Uchiha Marin nodded and said, "Of course, although his trip took a lot of time, it was understandable. Clan leader, you don't know, he obtained a piece of chakra metal about half the size of a fist outside. He just came to me wanting to forge a ninja sword."

"The size of half a fist? That's certainly rare. But Senior Kaname, as soon as Yoichi returned, he attacked the mission team's ninjas at the Hokage Building and even sent them to the hospital."

Fugaku Uchiha changed his tone and continued, "Because of this, I was just summoned by the Hokage. Although the Hokage didn't blame Yoichi and even told us to handle it ourselves, Yoichi acted too impulsively this time, actually attacking a Konoha comrade in the Hokage Building."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Mabayashi asked in disbelief, "Clan head, Yoichi isn't an impulsive person. Why would he attack the mission squad ninjas? Did they assign the wrong mission again?"

"No, the Third Hokage told me that it was a ninja from the mission team who spread rumors about Yoichi. When Yoichi overheard this, he beat the ninja so badly that he ended up in the hospital."

After hearing Fugaku's explanation, Uchiha Marin understood somewhat, but he still asked, "Clan head, what do you plan to do about this?"

"We should summon Yang Yi and at least punish him accordingly. If we don't show any remorse, it won't be fair to the Third Generation Lord."

"Didn't the Hokage tell you, clan leader, to handle this yourself? Why not just give him a verbal reprimand?"

Seeing that Fugaku didn't quite agree with his opinion, Uchiha Mabayashi continued, "Clan head, what happened before really upset Yoichi, and afterwards he didn't accept any compensation from the clan. If we punish Yoichi for this, it might really cause Yoichi to resent and be dissatisfied."

No matter what, Uchiha Yoichi was a well-known genius in the Uchiha clan. Chunin were already rare in Konoha, and in several missions where he was on the verge of wiping out a team, he either escaped from a Jonin team or killed a Jonin.

With this level of strength, Uchiha Rin fully believed that Yoichi already possessed the strength of a Jonin, he just hadn't undergone the assessment.

In a few more years, Uchiha Yoichi will likely become a powerful figure representing the Uchiha clan. Uchiha Masahiro felt it was a bit excessive to punish him for such a trivial matter.

"Senior Kagami, what you said makes some sense. However, although our Uchiha clan is strong, there are many Konoha ninja clans, and there are also many strong individuals. We already control the security force. If we want to seize other powers, the other ninja clans will definitely be dissatisfied."

Fugaku Uchiha said in a deep voice, "There are quite a few people in the village who are watching our Uchiha clan. It's best not to let them find any fault with us now. Although Yoichi is in the right in this matter, it's really a bit unreasonable for him to injure a fellow villager while the Hokage is in charge."

"Let him go and apologize to that Chunin Sakuma, show that he's remorseful, and let the Third Hokage see it."

"Admitting your mistake isn't a big punishment. I'll go and talk to Yang Yijun."

Uchiha Masahiro breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. However, he and Uchiha Fugaku overlooked one point: it wouldn't be difficult to get the doves in the Uchiha clan to admit their mistakes.

However, to make the hawks of the Uchiha clan bow their heads and admit their mistakes, it would be better to stab them and then control them with the Sharingan.

Although Uchiha Yoichi was not a hawk, he would not do something so disgusting to himself to benefit others.

He trained so hard so that he could live with dignity. Otherwise, with Uchiha Yoichi's looks, he could easily be a son-in-law of a daimyo, so why bother with such arduous training every day?

Fugaku Uchiha spoke up: "It just so happens that there's a gathering tomorrow. Kabayashi-senpai, why don't you have Yoichi attend the gathering as well? You can talk about it there."

When they talked privately last time, Fugaku noticed that Uchiha Yoichi was very opinionated and hadn't even asked for compensation from the clan.

Fugaku was worried that Uchiha Yoichi would do the same thing as last time, but when the clan gathering came, his clan leader supporters took turns persuading him, and Uchiha Yoichi should agree to apologize.

"My lord ninja, the weights you ordered are rather complicated and will cost 150,000 taels in total. The materials are not expensive, but a weight that perfectly fits your body shape requires a ninja tool forging craftsman to create."

"It's okay, just let me know when it's done, here's the money."

Uchiha Yoichi took out a storage scroll, unsealed it, took 150,000 ryo from it and handed it to the owner of the ninja tool shop, then left his address.

He had planned to carry weights for a long time, as physical training is basically inseparable from carrying weights, especially the Lightning Release Chakra Mode for body tempering.

However, Uchiha Yoichi wanted to create a lot of load-bearing functions, so the cost was a bit higher. Otherwise, it would have been a simple metal block like Rock Lee's.

Wristbands, leg wraps, and ninja suits need to be protective and easy to disassemble, which is why they are so expensive.

It was almost Konoha Year 43, and Uchiha Yoichi had only been back for a short time when he heard that Konoha's number one genius, Hatake Kakashi, planned to take the Chunin Exams alone.

"I'll train for a while now. The combination of Lightning Release Chakra Mode and swordsmanship... It would be great if my Sharingan could improve a bit; one tomoe isn't enough."

Uchiha Yoichi knew very well that the Sharingan needed stimulation to evolve, but it seemed that nothing could stimulate him.
