I founded the "Bragging Cult" in Naruto.

Chapter 447 I heard that sending invitations to rich people has a certain chance of receiving a gift.

Fugaku blushed, Ino-Shika-Cho buried their heads to suppress the urge to smile, while Tatsuma's face was a mix of emotions. He suddenly wanted to recommend the Konoha Hospital's urology department to Fugaku, but it seemed a bit too much.

Uchiha Taku remained calm, as if he had weathered a storm and remained unfazed by life's hardships. He continued his topic, saying, "If Fugaku's sons could become your disciples, the cooperation between the Uchiha clan and the village could be worry-free for several more decades."

"Besides, how can one be qualified to even dream of becoming the Hokage without becoming the Hokage's disciple?"

Uchiha Taku added in his mind, while Tatsuma tried to remain calm and said, "It's really too early to talk about these things now, and besides, the cooperation between the village and the Uchiha won't change because of this."

"Yes, yes, that's just what they say."

Uchiha Taku didn't believe a word Tatsuma said. Apart from blood ties, the most solid bond in the ninja world was the master-disciple relationship.

Seeing the unwavering determination in Uchiha Taku's eyes, Tatsuma understood that he wouldn't give up easily. With that thought, Tatsuma reluctantly resorted to his old excuse from dealing with Hiruzen Sarutobi, saying:

"Actually, I have my eye on a child from the Uchiha clan, and if given the chance, I would very much like to become his teacher."

"Who?"

Uchiha Taku frowned, but quickly relaxed. Although it wasn't his grandson or granddaughter who had become Chisakamoto Tatsuma's disciple, it was still good news as long as they were Uchiha. He asked:

"Is that Obito, the cousin of the Tenkazu family?"

The thought of Obito Uchiha made Taku Uchiha frown again. Obito's level of being a loser was even worse than that of Tenka in his prime. Tenka was just a little late in awakening his Sharingan, but his other talents were still quite good.

However, Obito is a disgrace to the Uchiha clan! But if Tatsuma were willing to consider the bonds of camaraderie and take Obito as his disciple, even if he were just a mascot, it wouldn't be a bad idea.

Moreover, a mascot won't pose a threat to Fugaku or his future children, making it a good choice.

But Tatsuma shook his head and said, "It's a child named Shisui. He's a descendant of Lord Kagami."

Uchiha Kagami's descendant. Thinking of Kagami's son, who had absolutely no ninja talent, Uchiha Taku's expression remained unchanged. Instead, he turned to Fugaku, whose face was still flushed with embarrassment, and said:

"Arrange for someone to move Shisui's family to the place closest to the Senju clan's territory tomorrow. If they don't have any property there, buy one and give it to them."

"Yes, Father."

Fugaku nodded. He didn't actually remember what his father had told him; he was still troubled by his father's statement that he only had three to five minutes. Why was his father so certain? Did his father himself...

Tatsuma quickly raised his hand to stop him, saying, "There's no need for that. I do have high hopes for Shisui, but he's only a little over two years old. It's not a good thing for him to start learning from me too early."

Furthermore, he often comes to my house to play now, which is a way of gradually cultivating his interests. If Chief Fugaku is willing, he can help them as much as possible to avoid financial hardship.

"Okay, sure."

Fugaku's agreement was extremely perfunctory. After getting lost in his own thoughts, Uchiha Taku slapped him on the thigh, snapping him out of his reverie, and emphasized, "Treat the Shisui family well, understand?"

"clear!"

Fugaku rubbed his thighs as he loudly agreed, but then a second later, he remembered something else.

His father's slap might have left his thigh bruised for days; it must be swollen and red by now. How was he going to explain to his new wife when they got back to their room why there was someone else's handprint on his leg?

Also, this palm strike was so heavy, won't it affect my performance tonight?

Seeing that Fugaku was lost in thought again, Tatsuma knew that Fugaku couldn't think about anything today, and it wouldn't be very polite for him to stay any longer. He finished his tea and looked at the three members of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio.

Lu Yuan nodded, raised his cup of tea, and drank it all. Chen Ma then looked at Uchiha Taku and Uchiha Fugaku and said, "Then the cooperation is settled for now. We won't bother you any longer."

May the Fugaku clan head be blessed with wealth and many children, and may he soon have a son.

"well!"

Fugaku nodded. This Tatsuma has grown up and speaks so nicely. How did he come up with something like "let's see who can pee the farthest" back then?

Uchiha Taku clearly wanted to say something more, but seeing that his son was about to get up to see the guests off, he could only sigh and get up to see the guests off as well.

"Heh~ Hahaha~"

After leaving the Uchiha clan's territory, the four walked in silence for a while. Yamanaka Eiji couldn't help but laugh, and then all four of them laughed together. Jokes about sex are something no man can resist.

Lu Yuan wiped away the tears that had welled up in his eyes, patted Chenma on the shoulder, and said with a double meaning, "Chenma, you've really grown up."

If Jiraiya were there, he would definitely tell Shikamaru that Tatsuma had grown up a long time ago and was more knowledgeable than many adults ten years ago. It's just that... he's probably hiding somewhere in a hot spring now.

Tatsuma smiled and shook his head, not continuing the topic. After all, it was fine for others to know that he was a pervert, but there was no need to bring it up for discussion.

Seeing that things were going well, Lu Yuan then asked, "By the way, what kind of return gift do you plan to receive from the Uchiha?"

"A return gift?"

Tatsuma looked at his empty hands, somewhat puzzled. Shiro explained, "Great ninja clans like this don't usually return specific gifts. I believe the return gift list has already been sent to your home."

Seeing that Tatsuma still didn't quite understand, Yamanaka Ochū explained, "It's like a magazine that recommends good products. It's a booklet with all sorts of things in it, and there's also an order confirmation."

Once you've chosen what you want, fill in the order number in the order form and send it out. The return gift will then be sent to you. Generally, the family return gift book allows you to choose one item. For example, the Uchiha clan might have three, five, or even seven items, or they might let you fill in whatever you want.

Of course, if you're filling it out yourself, it's best to choose three, five, or seven options. Don't choose even numbers, and don't choose nine either.

Chenma suddenly realized what was going on and said, "Wouldn't that be incredibly expensive? Aren't weddings just a way to make money?"

"That's for ordinary people. If you're as rich as the Uchiha, you wouldn't mind spending money to make yourself happy."

Yamanaka Ochū patted Tatsuma on the shoulder and then said, "I'm planning to choose five vases, you know what that means, right?"

Tatsuma's lips twitched, but he still nodded and said, "I understand."

With just one word from Yamanaka Eishō, he completely squandered the fruits of Haiichi's two years of hard work. However, Haiichi still has a long way to go before he can take the position, so it wouldn't be bad to befriend Yamanaka Eishō.

It will take some imagination, since we can't just create five flowers at random. With the discerning eye of the mountain family, it would be best if they were unprecedented, or even if we couldn't find similar varieties.

As for whether it's beautiful or not, the mountain tribe's aesthetic appreciation of flowers has transcended that of the general public. They can see beauty in any strangely shaped flower. They want the unusual, not just the rare and precious.

At this moment, the four of them reached a fork in the road. After parting ways, Tatsuma did not continue walking, but instead used Flying Thunder God to return to the Senju clan's territory. As soon as he got home, he found several uninvited guests in his house.

Tsunade, Nawaki, and Shizune are arguing over a magazine, and even Nono is offering advice.

Seeing Tatsuma return, Tsunade said, "You're back? The Uchiha's return gift list has arrived. I didn't see you needed anything, so I picked something out for you. Is that alright?"

"no problem."

Tatsuma glanced at the magazine that the group was fighting over, glimpsed its contents, but showed little interest.

Nawaki insisted on getting ninja tools made by the Uchiha clan, Shizune wanted a collaboration ninja tool from a famous toy company in the Daimyo's territory, and as for Tsunade, she wanted to pick out the most expensive ones, regardless of whether they were useful or not.

Tatsuma went to the kitchen, took a few boxes of ice cream from the refrigerator and gave them some. He then ate the ice cream while listening to their noisy chatter. This scene was unprecedented in his home, and at first, Tatsuma found it quite interesting.

But after listening for a few minutes, he found it too noisy, so after finishing his ice cream, he went straight to his study to read.

"Knock knock knock~"

At dinner time, Nono knocked on the door. Tatsuma put down his ninjutsu scroll and said, "Come in."

Nonou pushed open the door and came in, saying, "Dinner's ready next door, you can go anytime. Oh, by the way, there's one last option for the return gift. Tsunade-sensei said it's for you, since you were involved. What do you want?"

Tatsuma stood up, shook his head, and said, "What I want, the Uchiha clan can't provide. Is there a gift you've chosen?"

Nonou was taken aback, then nodded with some excitement and a bit of restraint. Seeing this, Tatsuma said, "Then you choose for me. You can take it back with you, or leave it here if it's inconvenient."

".good."

Chenma loves being generous with other people's money. He can gain at least a favor without spending a penny. Who wouldn't like that?

Rubbing his stomach, Tatsuma called out to Nonou, who was also lost in thought, and said, "Let's go now. We didn't eat enough at noon and we're starving."

"it is good."

Nono quickly left Tatsuma's study. Although Tatsuma's study did not have any special protection, Nono did not linger. She understood the importance of maintaining proper boundaries.

Upon arriving next door, Tsunade, Shizune, and Nawaki were all talking about how wonderful their chosen gifts were, and how they were definitely better than the gifts chosen by the other two.

The topic was the same as in the afternoon, except the location was changed from Tatsuma's house to Tsunade's house next door.

"Tatsuma, have you chosen your gift yet?"

Tsunade asked, and Tatsuma nodded and hummed in agreement. Tsunade then asked, "Is it useful? Or expensive?"

"Satisfactory."

Tatsuma didn't know what Nono would choose, so he just gave a perfunctory answer.

Three days later, Tatsuma held a long-haired kitten that looked rather dog-like and fell into deep thought.

Why would the Uchiha clan give something like this as a gift?!
