Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 285 Recommendation

"Toshiro! You really worked hard this time~"

At Fugaku Uchiha's residence, Toshiro was sitting in the guest seat, sharing a table with Fugaku and his wife, as well as the future One-on-Seven.

"No, that's not true. I just took a trip to the battlefield in the Land of Bears. There was no hardship at all."

In response to Fugaku's polite remarks, Toshiro simply replied with a curt remark.

The family's decision to place him under Orochimaru's command was clearly a gamble, but he himself was not being given much attention.

After throwing themselves into it, they simply ignored it.

"Putting all that aside for now, after discussing it with the clan elders, we've decided to appoint Toshiro to a key position in the security force, making him my assistant. I wonder if you have any thoughts on that?"

After saying this, Fugaku specifically looked at Toshiro's expression, but to his disappointment, there was no emotional fluctuation on the other's face.

After returning to Konoha with Orochimaru, Toshiro had already planned where to go.

Toshiro would never agree to be a beat cop in the police force. As a transmigrator, why would he bother with ordinary residents every day, worrying about trivial matters? It would be asking for trouble!

As for becoming a mission ninja under the Third Hokage, he felt there was no need for it. Since the other party didn't seem to like him much, there was no need for him to fawn over him.

Although Minato Namikaze is about to take office, he is a young man without a strong foundation. He still has a long way to go before he can seize power!

As for becoming Fugaku Uchiha's assistant, after glancing at the one-against-seven situation beside him, he decided against it. This family was toxic; he simply couldn't afford to mess with them.

"I wonder what the situation is like at the prison right now?"

At this time, Konoha Prison was under the control of the Uchiha clan, and what's even more infuriating is that the prison was located within the Uchiha's headquarters.

With the Sharingan's vision, Uchiha could occasionally see some Konoha ANBU members appearing in the Uchiha's base.

The common excuse is to prevent any accidents from happening to prisoners in jail.

As for who this prisoner is, that's a matter of opinion.

"At the prison?"

Hearing Toshiro's words, Fugaku Uchiha was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected that the other party would ultimately choose such a simple job.

"They're also short-handed over there right now, Toshiro, why don't you reconsider?"

Given his talent and ability, it would be a waste of his abilities to serve as a mere prison warden.

He also planned to give this Uchiha genius a few challenging missions so he could impress the Hokage.

He'd heard that the other person had a good relationship with Minato Namikaze, and he was thinking of manipulating things a bit; maybe that way, the other person could…

"Thank you for your concern, Chief. The prison is great; little work, good pay, and close to home!"

"Besides, after so many years of fighting on the battlefield, I'm really getting tired of it!"

Although the warden is not a very important position, he is still a leader of some rank in Konoha's organization, and his salary and allowances are quite substantial.

Moreover, within the confines of the prison, they still hold considerable sway, and have a dozen or so family members at their disposal.

This is such a good thing, it's much better than dealing with drunkards and street vendors.

"I understand! I'll arrange it for you!"

Seeing that Toshiro had made up his mind, Fugaku Uchiha did not try to persuade him any further.

That's the advantage of having connections; a prison warden can say, "You are who you are."

Thinking back to my past life, I never dared to dream of such a good thing, but now it's all done with just a few words.

As for why it's so easy, the Uchiha clan is currently short of manpower everywhere; they can't even fill the quota for a single security force.

"Itachi! Go and get that black scroll from my desk!"

"Yes, Father!"

Taking his son from the study, Fugaku carried out a brown scroll about half his height and handed it to Toshiro, saying as he did so.

"This is the information about the sealing technique you couldn't find last time. The elder who guards the shrine compiled it, and I'm handing it over to you this time."

"Oh! This is wonderful!"

Upon seeing the black scroll, Toshiro's face lit up with joy. This was exactly the time he needed this thing; he had even searched through the family's secret vault last time without success.

I didn't expect the other party to be so thoughtful.

The information on sealing techniques is far too complex and varied. I've been constantly on the battlefield these past few years and haven't had the time to properly organize it.

In addition to the information he obtained from Minato Namikaze, Toshiro was quite satisfied.

……

"Hey... Kakashi, you look so down!"

After leaving Fugaku Uchiha's house, Toshiro handed over the information about sealing techniques to a shadow clone who was training there, and then began to wander around Konoha.

The end of the large-scale war did allow the villagers to regain some of their former life.

Of course, this does not include a certain white-haired brat who lost his companion.

"What kind of rubbish books are you reading? These kinds of books are absolutely not for a kid your age!"

Taking advantage of the other party's inattention, he snatched the book "How to Die" from the other party's hand. After only a casual glance, Toshiro began to complain.

"Are you planning to die?"

"Give it back to me! This is none of your business!"

Upon seeing that it was Toshiro, Kakashi lowered his guard, but he was displeased with the other's actions and tried to snatch the book he had bought.

"Well! This book isn't suitable for a kid your age. Come here, I have a book that will definitely broaden your horizons!"

If he didn't want to, Kakashi would have no way to take that negative book from his hands. However, as the saying goes, it's better to guide than to block.

Toshiro deftly pulled a small booklet with an orange cover from his pocket and stuffed it into Kakashi's hand.

"Kid! This is the kind of book a man should read. Don't say I didn't look after you!"

Toshiro casually tossed Kakashi's book into a roadside trash can, then winked at Kakashi, giving him a knowing look that every man would understand.

Kakashi, seeing Toshiro throw away his newly bought book like trash, was quite helpless. Unable to defeat Toshiro, he could only mutter, "Mind your own business!"

"Hey! Don't say that! Compared to the one you bought yourself, I think the one you have here suits you much better; it's definitely a gem!"
