Sitting in the most remote corner, it is easy to be ignored and miss out on good food.
But Uchiha You is different. He is a nobody in the upper echelons of the family, but he has a good relationship with the lower echelons. There is no servant in this courtyard who he doesn’t know.
With just a greeting, the boys and girls would give him priority in providing delicious food, and he would even get some of the good things faster than the clan leader and elders.
After all, the county magistrate is not as good as the current one.
Even if he sat in the most inconspicuous place, Uchiha You could still eat the most and best meat.
When it got dark, the party finally ended.
Uchiha You was sitting in the outermost courtyard, but was the last one to leave among the Chunins.
Before leaving, Uchiha You noticed that the clan leader, the jonin and the elders stayed and continued to drink tea and talk. Their topic would probably focus on war matters.
Uchiha You held the soundly sleeping Miwa Masayo in his arms, held the tabby cat in his right hand to protect it, and left the clan leader's mansion.
When he was leaving, the clan leader and steward Uchiha Heihachi handed him a thick paper envelope. Uchiha You took it with his left hand, squeezed it gently, and smiled brightly.
This was a return gift from the clan leader, amounting to two hundred thousand taels, more than ten times the gift money he had offered.
Uchiha You was very happy. Now he could last at least half a month, and he had more room to choose tasks.
But he felt a little embarrassed for eating, drinking and taking things today, so he decided to consider sparing Itachi's life if possible in the future for the sake of Lord Uchiha Fugaku.
Of course, he must be able to ensure the safety of himself and his loved ones, as well as the safety of his family, otherwise... he will still be killed.
Of course money is very important, but ultimately it can never be more valuable than the lives of the people he cares about.
With the money, Uchiha You continued to buy large amounts of food, and the matter of choosing the mission was completely forgotten.
Every day he ran with weights, stood in meditation, practiced ninjutsu, taijutsu, swordsmanship and throwing techniques, and then cooked a lot of delicious meat to reward himself.
Miwa Masayo continued to eat well, drink well and sleep well. When she was in a good mood, she would accompany her owner to exercise. When she was in a bad mood, she would go to Inuzuka's house and quarrel with Kuromaru.
The two ninja beasts will fight.
Because Miwa Masayo's strength grew rapidly, he and Kuromaru became evenly matched opponents, and they started fighting with the tacit consent of their two masters.
Through half-playful and half-serious fighting, one can train reaction speed, combat skills and physical strength, which is very effective in enhancing the combat effectiveness of ninja beasts.
There are not many ninjas who have ninja beast partners, and even fewer ninja beasts that are responsible for fighting. Ninja beasts that are equally matched are even rarer, so Inuzuka Tsumugi and Uchiha Yu will not stop them.
They will only help treat the wounds, soothe the emotions, and encourage their little cuties to fight again next time after they lose.
Uchiha You was very satisfied with such a regular life. Even the monkey in his spiritual world was quiet and obedient, without any signs of making trouble.
Every day's hard training would bring back results that were so obvious that it drove people crazy. Soon Uchiha You found that his strength had doubled, and carrying a weight of 650 kilograms was no longer a problem.
But fate has always been the cruelest, and it does not allow anyone other than the protagonist to enjoy happiness.
…
Uchiha You looked at the messenger who issued the task to him in surprise, and asked in disbelief: "Who? Uchiha Obito?"
The messenger had the Uchiha family emblem in front and behind him, but it was a unfamiliar face that Uchiha You had seen for the first time, proving that he was a direct descendant of a senior member of the family.
Hearing Uchiha Yuu's exclamation, the messenger also showed a strange expression: "Yes, it's that 'least like Uchiha' fool, Uchiha Obito."
"He broke into the clan leader's house yesterday and demanded to participate in the clan's ninja education. The clan leader couldn't stand him anymore and had to arrange for someone to teach him."
Damn! It turns out that the cause is all in me!
But why did this pot fall on my head?
Uchiha You gave advice to Uchiha Obito because he was sure that he would attack Obito in the future, so he needed to disguise himself from now on and create the illusion that he had a close relationship with Obito.
Since it was an illusion, the suggestion proposed by Uchiha You was of course carefully considered. It could make others feel that he was serious about helping Obito, while also avoiding putting himself in trouble to the greatest extent.
The Uchiha clan would start special training at the beginning of summer and winter every year. It would be hosted by selected jonin and supervised by the best chuunin, and would last for about a month.
Uchiha You was just a newly promoted Chunin and was not qualified to participate in such activities, so after making the suggestion, he had already forgotten about it.
Who would have thought that after several days, the blame would still fall on my head? This is too unlucky.
Before he turned evil, Uchiha Obito was a waste. He could not learn anything, he could not use the ninjutsu he mastered, and the ninjutsu he did use was full of mistakes.
He is also a stubborn guy, the kind who won't listen to anything you say. Except that he doesn't have the halo of the protagonist, he is just a larger version of Uzumaki Naruto.
Teaching Uchiha Obito how to practice is a big, black and heavy pot.
It gives me a headache just thinking about it.
Uchiha You couldn't help but ask: "When did the clan leader become so easy to talk to? He was so unbearable to be pestered by Obito, and why did he choose me?"
The messenger sighed and said helplessly: "I didn't know before that Obito's grandfather is Elder Kong Yuan. He is actually a direct descendant of the clan."
Uchiha You looked confused. Who is Elder Kong Yuan?
"Elder Soramoto has been dead for a long time, but he was the teacher of Patriarch Fugaku."
That's no problem. The relationship between a ninja master and apprentice is extremely important, even more so than the relationship between a father and son.
Obito's grandfather was Fugaku's teacher, even though he died early and was forgotten, so that Obito was in a mess. But when Obito asked Uchiha Fugaku to do something, the clan leader could not refuse. As long as there was a possibility, he had to do his best to do it, otherwise his reputation would be ruined.
"But why me?"
"Only you."
"ah?"
"The family is very busy right now. All the jonin and chunin have missions and are completely tied up."
I understand. The Uchiha family is a thousand-year-old ninja clan. They not only have businesses in Konoha Village, but also throughout the Land of Fire. The family's caravans even do business in the entire ninja world. Now that the atmosphere of war is getting stronger and stronger, the Uchiha family naturally has to prepare for the war, gather businesses from all over the country, pack up assets and ship them back or choose to hide them in a hidden place.
The Uchiha also have to take care of the village's security, as well as the work assigned by the Hokage from time to time. It is conceivable that the Uchiha's Jonin, Chunin and even Genin are all very busy now.
When Uchiha Fugaku agreed to Obito's request, when he was selecting candidates, he found that he could not find a ninja who could educate Obito.
As a result, when he checked the family household register, he found that there was a newly promoted Chunin at home, but he didn't have any tasks or work at all.
What else is there to say?
It's you.
