I, Uchiha Yu, am solely focused on cultivating immortality

Chapter 14 The Pitfalls of the Second Generation

Uchiha Yu pointed out the mistakes of Uchiha Hachimoku and the others, and then helped them analyze who actually needed help.

He also explained what kind of help these people needed, what taboos they should be aware of, what resources were readily available when offering assistance, and what resources required extra effort.

Once the specifics of the work came up, there were so many details to pay attention to. Uchiha Yu talked on and on for hours, and Uchiha Hachimoku and the others were so engrossed in listening that they were practically falling asleep.

To be honest, Uchiha clan ninjas are not suited for this job. They are too honest, terrible at talking, and all of them have a bad temper.

You're doing a good deed, but you manage to offend people terribly.

Not to mention dealing with those trivial matters where right and wrong are indistinguishable, the Uchiha, lacking the ability to smooth things over, can offend both sides at the same time, causing the two sides that were originally arguing to resent the Uchiha together.

The Konoha Village Security Department seems to be a trap set by Tobirama Senju for the Uchiha clan.

The most suitable people for this job are clearly the Ino-Shika-Cho trio: Nara is intelligent, Yamanaka is insightful, and Akimichi is honest. Moreover, their combat strength is also guaranteed, and they can handle everything properly.

Even entrusting it to the conservative Hyuga, or even the foolish Inuzuka, would be much better than entrusting it to the hot-tempered Uchiha.

A world apart!

Yes, compared to the Uchiha, everyone else is fucking incompetent.

As darkness fell, Uchiha Yu saw off the Eighth Hokage and the other two, but sighed regretfully after closing the door.

A leopard can't change its spots; if something isn't right for you, it isn't right for you.

In addition, the extreme die-hards led by Uchiha Setsuna could destroy everyone's efforts with just a few disgusting things they did.

Uchiha Yu naturally knew that today's efforts were in vain, but it was a necessary groundwork.

After his mind went wild, Uchiha Yu's thoughts began to change. He muttered to himself, "Why can't I take control of the Uchiha clan...?"

"What are you talking about, meow?" Masayo Miwa jumped onto Yu's shoulder.

She had probably just woken up; she bent over, stretched lazily, and her white-gloved claws split into blooming plum blossoms, enticing Uchiha Yu to become restless.

No, the relationship isn't close enough yet, so I can't touch your hands. Hold back!

After a few chuckles, Uchiha Yu replied, "Ha, I was referring to the Uchiha clan-led security department. It will be difficult for them to reverse their current passive situation."

"Meow, this is so difficult, it's completely unsolvable, meow. Wait, you just said 'unless,' so you actually have a way to solve something this difficult?"

"I have a solution, even if it's not a solution."

Unless Uchiha Yu himself steps forward and directly takes charge of Uchiha Hachimoku's squad.

He has enough talent to handle every matter in Konoha Village, and while doing so, he can also take care of the villagers' feelings and improve the reputation of the Uchiha clan and the police force.

He was absolutely certain.

But that's not the problem. Once he steps forward, he will become a benchmark for change within the Uchiha clan, and also a prime target for enemies both inside and outside the clan.

He not only has to fight against the stubborn faction within his clan, but also against the clan head who is tough on internal affairs but compromises with external ones. He also has to be wary of Shimura Danzo's conspiracies and assassinations, and even compete with the Hokage for the hearts of the people...

Masase Miwa shuddered at the thought: "Damn it, you'll be the first to die."

"Yes, I'll definitely die first, so I can't do that, and I won't stand on the front line of the struggle."

However, controlling the Uchiha clan doesn't necessarily require becoming a prominent figure. I can secretly instill their ideology and then cultivate the most suitable new clan leader, making them my front man.

Just as Uchiha Yu was pondering who in the clan could replace Uchiha Fugaku, Miwa Masase meowed, "Yu, I'm hungry, meow."

The cute kitten's soft plea instantly dispelled Uchiha Yu's bad mood.

He rolled up his sleeves and replied with a smile, "We've been talking for too long today, so I'll cook the fastest meal."

"Okay, meow, hurry up and meow."

Uchiha Yu skillfully rinsed the rice and started a fire to cook a pot of rice.

Even the simplest thing is that carnivorous cats still need to eat meat. Luckily, there was leftover boiled chicken at noon, so I chopped it up while the rice was cooking.

Then he rummaged through the kitchen and found a piece of bonito flakes that looked like a wooden board. He took out a kitchen plane and quickly shaved off a large pile of bonito flakes. With the appearance of the bonito flakes, the surface area of ​​the dried bonito flakes in contact with the air increased significantly, and the fresh and salty aroma from the deep sea spread out, hooking the sense of smell of people and cats like a fishhook, and creating wonderful taste associations.

A gurgling sound came from the human and the cat swallowing their saliva, followed by a thunderous protest from their stomachs.

[This smell is absolutely irresistible! No wonder it's the deep-sea skipjack tuna of the ninja world; even the bonito flakes of my past life couldn't compare to this.]

The rice was cooked quickly. First, sprinkle in the diced chicken, then add a little soy sauce for seasoning and color. After mixing well, sprinkle bonito flakes on the light brown rice.

Steamed by the heat of the rice, the bonito flakes release an even richer, savory aroma that whets the appetite.

Just as they were devouring the food, the strong aroma wafted out, immediately provoking the dissatisfaction of their neighbors.

"That kid Yu's been making wooden fish decorations again. Does he have too much money?"

"Ever since he made a contract with the ninja cat, this kid has been buying a wooden fish every three months. That small piece is worth a month's worth of food for a family of four. He's really generous."

"Idiot, that's a ninja cat, and Yu has been a ninja for a long time. Isn't it normal for a ninja to buy a wooden fish with their income?"

"That's right, Taro/Sonoko/Odagiri/Nagazawa, you guys have to do your best! After graduating from the Ninja Academy, you can become ninjas and earn lots and lots of money. You can buy whatever delicious food you want."

"Yes! I will try my best!"

Uchiha Yu and Miwa Masashi ignored their neighbors' complaints and encouragement, enjoying their simple meal until the whole pot of rice was eaten clean by the two of them, and only then did they stop, satisfied.

"I'm full, this feels so good, meow."

Uchiha Yu rested for a while, finished a cup of tea, and began to clean up the mess.

About half an hour later, Miwa Masayo's neck was grabbed, and she involuntarily curled up her limbs, letting Uchiha Yu take her out of the house.

"What are you doing, meow?"

"Run and exercise with me."

"No, my happy moment isn't over yet."

"Pear Blossom, haven't you noticed you've gained weight? If you don't start exercising, you'll really turn into a little piglet!"

"Don't call me Pear Blossom Jam!"

"Getting fat, meow...meow?? Meow!!!"

Two hours later.

"I can't take it anymore, meow, I'm going to die, meow, I can't run anymore, meow."

"Well, Ninja Cat isn't known for its stamina. That's about enough exercise for today. Rinka-chan, get some rest."

"Are you going to continue?"

"Okay, I'll run a little longer. I didn't prepare to carry any weights today, so I can only make up for it with time."

"Why are you suddenly working so hard, meow?"

"I have to work hard, or I'll be in danger."
