Konoha: This Uchiha is going a bit too far.

Chapter 64 Experts in Internal Strife

"Haori-kun, congratulations, our great hero."

Inside the pavilion of Uchiha Setsuna's residence, he spoke gently to Hagoromo, who was sitting opposite him.

At this moment, he looked like a gentle old man, but Yuzhi was not fooled by his appearance.

After all, Yuzhi had met him before and knew just how wicked this old man was.

He not only loves to make empty promises, but also has an extremely strong desire for control. The reason he is behaving so gently now is mainly because Yuzhi has shown talent and strength.

When you have the ability and strength, you'll see people everywhere who can sing and dance.

Besides, Fugaku Uchiha and Hagoromo have met before, so it's hard to say whether he already knows about this news.

"I must thank the elder for his guidance."

However, there was no need for Yuzhi to argue with this old man, since no one could say how much longer he could live!

"I didn't train you much; I just gave you some information you needed."

Uchiha Setsuna remained gentle. He poured the brewed tea into a cup, then handed one to Hagoromo before continuing.

"After all, wars are too frequent, and we don't have enough time for each other. Otherwise, I would really like to personally teach a genius like you."

Upon hearing this, Yuzhi pursed her lips. Was she already making excuses?

Or was it that Fugaku Uchiha put pressure on him during their meeting?

Yu Zhi found it somewhat amusing. These people were a complete mess when it came to rebellion, but when it came to infighting, they were all incredibly skilled.

"Elder Setsuna, you flatter me." Although she found it amusing, Yuzhi still politely replied.

"This is not praise, it is the truth."

Uchiha Setsuna took a sip of tea, then took out a document and handed it to Hagoromo.

"By the way, before you came back, I had already recommended you to participate in the Jonin Exams with Hiruzen Sarutobi."

Your abilities and achievements make it no longer appropriate for you to continue serving as a Chunin.

Although I can't promote you directly, I believe you can pass the assessment smoothly, right?

"Of course, Elder Setsuna, thank you, Elder."

Yuzhi nodded and accepted the document with a somewhat strange expression.

"Also, Yuri-kun, although I have limited resources, there are many areas where I may not be able to fully help you."

Uchiha Setsatsu took a sip of tea before continuing in a low voice.

"But I will do my best to help you. You are the future of the family, and you deserve all of this."

Everything we do is for the family, and all you need to remember is to serve the family.

After all, you have the blood of the Uchiha clan flowing through your veins.

"I understand, Elder Setsuna." Yuri felt increasingly strange.

"By the way, didn't you say before that you wanted that Sharingan to be returned, right?"

Uchiha Setsuna put down his teacup, gave Yuki a deep look, and then spoke softly.

"I have contacted enough people who support my ideas, and I think you will be able to see all of this at the next clan meeting."

After all, the family bloodline must never be taken by outsiders, right?

"Yes, Elder Setsuna."

Yuzhi nodded again, but inwardly he was filled with emotion.

Although Fugaku Uchiha was not mentioned at all, every sentence was related to him, which was both an empty promise and a warning to him.

To be honest, if it weren't for that meeting with Fugaku Uchiha, it would have been just him and Itachi Uchiha.

He even suspected that Uchiha Setsuna might have planted spies around Uchiha Fugaku.

This isn't just skillful infighting; this is pure expert in infighting!

Although it's unclear which era the Uchiha clan ruled from, since they are rarely mentioned within the clan itself.

But they were all wearing Konoha headbands, so it's hard to say whether it was after Madara left.

Back then, they could fight so fiercely that the world seemed to end, and they even ruined several pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan. It's easy to imagine that the Uchiha clan was never at peace.

Both sides had their own thoughts, and for a moment they fell silent.

"Haori-kun, I wonder if you have any plans to join the police force?"

After a long while, Uchiha Setsuna suddenly spoke up and asked a question.

"Police Department?"

Yuzhi was stunned for a moment; he never expected that the old man would come up with such an idea.

"That's right, the police department."

Uchiha Setsuna nodded, and chuckled as he looked at Haori's puzzled expression.

"Although the Minister of Police is the clan chief, and due to manpower issues, the Police Department only has three squadrons."

However, two of these three squadrons belong to us, and the 8th generation who just brought you here is one of the three squadron leaders.

If you get involved, I believe you'll have a chance in a few years, since Daohuo is already close to achieving that.

I believe that with your potential and abilities, you will definitely be even faster!

"Thank you for your kindness, Elder Shaka, but my ambitions lie elsewhere."

After pondering for a moment, Yui finally shook his head.

He had no interest in joining the police department that everyone hated, especially since it would all be his in the future, and he didn't need to go in now!

"Is that so? Then it's up to you."

Uchiha Setsuna frowned slightly, but ultimately just nodded.

"Alright, I know that having a young man like you keep an old man like me company will probably make you feel uneasy."

Go ahead, I look forward to your performance in this Jonin Exam, after all, you are bringing glory to the clan.

It's also a way of bringing honor to your deceased parents, who all longed to achieve this.

"Yes, Elder Setsuna."

Upon hearing this, Yuzhi really wanted to complain: "You've misplayed the emotional card."

However, he couldn't be bothered to pay any attention to it; he had long since given up on putting on a show with this old man.

Besides, he learned some interesting things today, such as some situations within the police department.

Moreover, this time Uchiha Setsuna explicitly told him that he was going to launch a final "coup" against Uchiha Fugaku.

It's unclear how things will turn out, but it's likely this will exacerbate the conflicts within the family.

"Then all I'll have to do is light some gunpowder kegs."

He won't touch the lower ranks of the hawks, but he can't let go of the die-hard loyalists who have entered the upper echelons and gained real power!

"I wonder how things are going with Orochimaru."

With these thoughts in mind, Yuzhi quickly left the villa.

Uchiha Setsuke watched Haori leave, but his gaze turned cold the moment she disappeared.

"Elder Kanna."

Shortly after, Uchiha Hachimoku appeared beside him and bowed slightly.

"No need for formalities. You are a squad leader in the police department, so normally we'd be considered to be at the same level."

Uchiha Setsuna shook his head and spoke calmly.

"How's the investigation going with that girl?"

"Elder, without your guidance and support, I would not have been able to get to where I am today. You will always be my elder."

The Eighth Hokage of Uchiha shook his head, remaining respectful.

"It's been found out. Uchiha Hotaru is an orphan, just like that kid."

They've known each other since childhood, but this Uchiha Hotaru is a loner, so she might be friends with this kid.

After acquiring the identity of "Uchiha Hotaru", Hikaru no longer bothered to hide himself.

Anyway, Uchiha Hotaru was just a reclusive person who had almost no friends and was not well-known.

Now that everyone who knew her is dead, Yuzhi doesn't need her to hide anything anymore.

"Just friends?"

Uchiha Setsuna tapped the table, deep in thought.

"It seems we need to do something; that brat Hagoromo probably has more potential than she appears to have."

Yuri has many friends, but not many within the Uchiha clan, and she doesn't even have a single female friend with whom she has a particularly close relationship.

Now that someone of the opposite sex has appeared who is getting close to him, Uchiha Setsuna has an idea.

After seeing how well he performed, he hoped that he could form a deep bond with her.

Now that he has seen one, he feels he can give it a try.

After all, Uchiha Hotaru was just a nobody, while the clan had sacrificed a lot of talent for their experiments back then!

"Okay, I understand."

Uchiha Setsuna stopped worrying about it and looked at the Eighth Generation.

"That brat Yuzhi is very strong and capable now. Observe her but don't get too close, and don't disturb her at will."

I don't want to cause any misunderstandings, after all, our clan leader seems interested in him.

"Yes, Elder."

"Also, I'm very curious about this kid's strength and abilities."

"I understand, Elder. I will help you find out the truth."

As a newbie, I'm begging you to follow along! Following along now will determine everything about a book; neglecting a book too long can easily kill it.

Thank you all, Onz
