Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 309 Conversation

"Fugaku, you guys..."

Mikoto Uchiha, who had just entered, looked at the ever-changing expression on her husband's face and Toshiro sitting opposite him.

I have no idea what they talked about.

"It's alright, you should keep an eye on Sasuke!"

Upon seeing his wife and Itachi arrive, Fugaku could only manage a forced smile at the mother and son as a gesture of comfort.

"Excuse me..."

After cleaning up the tea on the table, she didn't linger. After bowing, she left with the six-year-old Uchiha Itachi.

"The clan chief has indeed fathered a fine son!"

Watching Itachi leave with impeccable manners and Mikoto, Toshiro praised Fugaku, and then didn't continue their previous conversation.

He knew that he couldn't say too much about this at once; he had to influence the other person's views gradually.

"Toshiro, that's a brilliant compliment! Itachi is still too young; he's far from good enough!"

"If I can grow up to be as outstanding as Toshiro, I'll be completely satisfied!"

When talking about his eldest son, Fugaku Uchiha, a rare, faint smile appeared on his face. Clearly, he was quite satisfied with Itachi's talent and abilities.

"If I remember correctly, the Ninja Academy is about to start, and Itachi is of school age. I wonder how the clan head plans to train him?"

"The plan is to send him to the ninja academy so that he can interact with his peers in the village and build some good connections."

"Is that so…?"

"Speaking of which, there is one more thing I need to remind the clan leader of."

"Konoha's Ninja Academy is indeed a good place to socialize, but... I hope the clan head will be wary of some of the teachings on things like the Will of Fire."

Seeing that Fugaku Uchiha didn't seem to take it too seriously, Toshiro continued:

"Those children are all simple-minded and easily influenced by the 'Will of Fire.' Whenever something happens, they often do things that put themselves and their families in a difficult position."

"Like Obito Uchiha in the past!"

Seeing Toshiro's serious attitude, Fugaku Uchiha couldn't very well deny the other's good intentions.

"I'll be careful about this!"

However, Toshiro could tell that the other party seemed somewhat dismissive of this, and he sighed inwardly, feeling a little helpless.

He couldn't very well tell Fugaku Uchiha, "You have such a good son. In the future, for the sake of the village and your other son, he will simply wipe out the entire Uchiha clan."

If you say that, the other party will definitely fight you to the death.

"In short, I will not agree to either the moving or Danzo's matter!"

"If the Third Hokage has any complaints, let him come and talk to me directly!"

After finishing his tea in one gulp, Toshiro, somewhat disheartened, took his leave.

Whether it's his family or the village, he now has the right to negotiate with them; he's no longer that drifting brat.

……

"I see... I understand!"

The Third Hokage's office was filled with smoke, and through the thick, pale purple smoke, one could see that the Third Hokage was frowning deeply.

"Although Uchiha Toshiro disagrees, I will still reserve that Anbu spot for you. I will recruit him into the Anbu whenever a suitable candidate emerges from the Uchiha clan."

The Third Hokage raised his eyelids slightly and looked at Fugaku Uchiha in front of his desk. He wasn't angry; instead, he comforted him gently.

Moreover, he would casually make promises to the other party, since they were just empty promises, he could make them however he wanted.

As for Uchiha Toshiro!

He had expected the other party to disagree, but he didn't expect them to even try to obstruct his move.

"Yes! Thank you so much for your trust, Third Hokage!" After bowing and thanking the Third Hokage, Fugaku asked, "What are the village's plans regarding the relocation?"

The position of Anbu is quite special among the various functional departments of Konoha. Ninjas who come from here can join other departments, though it is not exactly easy, but they still have many advantages.

Once a member of the clan enters this department, it will be a very good start for the Uchiha, who have been trapped in the small territory of the security forces for many years.

Of course, compared to this, the relocation of the family is more important.

When Uchiha Toshiro mentioned it, he somewhat realized what this matter meant for the Uchiha clan, who already had poor interpersonal relationships.

"I will discuss this matter with the higher-ups again beforehand."

"You can go now!"

The Third Hokage sighed, feeling a great headache coming on.

Just as Toshiro guessed, the reason for having the Uchiha move was partly to make plans for the future.

He's getting old, and he doesn't want to pass on the troublesome Uchiha clan to the next Hokage to deal with.

Furthermore, according to the information obtained from Kushina, the attacker not only possessed the Wood Release bloodline limit, but also had an Uchiha Mangekyou Sharingan in his other eye.

That's not all; the other party even knew the exact time and place of the Nine-Tails' birth, the loosening of the seal, and Kushina's birth.

What else could it be but a mole?

Another point is the way the Nine-Tails appeared; it was summoned.

Who signed a summoning contract with the Nine-Tails?

Isn't it obvious?

The other reason was to test whether Uchiha Toshiro would obey his orders as Hokage!

Although he had expected it, he still sighed when he was actually rejected.

After Fugaku Uchiha left, the Third Hokage's door was immediately opened by a group of three people. The visitors were none other than the Third Hokage's friends, the three Hokage's assistants from Konoha.

"Sarutobi, how's it going? Did the Uchiha agree to relocate?"

"Also, has the other side given any indication regarding Danzo?"

Upon entering, the three of them very naturally went to sit down on a set of sofas facing each other in the Hokage's office.

The Third Hokage no longer sat behind the Hokage's desk, but instead sat opposite them.

"..."

"Didn't you agree?"

"Still, you haven't agreed to either of them?"

Upon seeing the Third Hokage silently smoking, the three of them, who had been partners for many years, quickly exchanged glances and came to this conclusion.

Seeing Sarutobi nod slightly, confirming her words, Koharu Utatane's face turned ashen. She glanced at Sarutobi and continued, "Sarutobi, this Uchiha Toshiro is powerful, but we can't be too weak!"
