Chapter 55 Liang Zi is finally settled

The temptation to return to the village is great for frontline ninjas, but not so much for Orochimaru and Uchiha Gen.

One can do experiments and research with peace of mind, the other can study and improve with peace of mind, and I really don’t want to have a relatively pleasant life disrupted.

However, the matter of returning to the village did not depend on the two people's will. After receiving the news, Orochimaru began to move and prepare for the handover.

When the first group of ninjas returned to the village arrived at the border, and the person in charge made a clear handover in person, the group of ninjas officially returned to the village.

The so-called returning home is like an arrow. The Konoha ninjas who had been waiting for a long time broke out at an unprecedented speed and reached the entrance of Konoha Village in only two-thirds of the usual time.

Because the return time was too fast, I made an own mistake and the welcoming team was not in place yet.

The ninjas who returned to the village before had a team to greet them. The last batch of ninjas who had sacrificed the most could not be left out, right?

So, the ninjas who returned to the village were waiting at the gate of Konoha Village, and a chuunin guarding the gate quickly ran to the Hokage Building.

After waiting for about half an hour, Sarutobi Hiruzen came over with a large number of people, including high-level officials of various Konoha tribes, heads of major families, some Jonin, and many Konoha villagers.

The higher-ups, heads of major clans, and jounin were relatively reserved and welcomed, received, and exchanged greetings normally, but the villagers of Konoha were more excited.

Villagers with relatives in the team called out the names of their family members, while villagers without relatives in the team either loudly praised or cheered.

Although there were no gongs, drums, firecrackers or lion dances, it was still lively.

This kind of heroic treatment made many ninjas blush and be very excited. They felt that their life and death on the battlefield and their hard work in guarding the border were all worth it.

After a lot of excitement, Orochimaru and other frontline senior officials followed Sarutobi Hiruzen and other senior officials to leave, while the others went back to their homes to look for their mothers.

Since other Uchiha clan ninjas have returned in previous batches, Uchiha Gen returns to the Uchiha clan alone.

When he reached the gate of the clan, Gen Uchiha was slightly startled. He saw three figures standing at the spacious gate, namely Uchiha Mikoto, Uchiha Shisui, and Uchiha Itachi.

"Sister Mikoto, why are you here?"

Gen Uchiha came back to his senses, walked over with a smile, and said with surprise on his face.

"It was Fugaku who asked us to welcome you here."

"Because it's not easy to mobilize a large number of people. After all, the tribesmen have their own things to be busy with, so only the three of us can come to greet you."

"Don't be offended."

Uchiha Mikoto held Uchiha Itachi with her right hand, smiled slightly, and her tone was as gentle as water, as amiable as the big sister next door.

Gen Uchiha heard this and said with a moved face: "Where are you talking about?"

"It's me who asked the clan leader to take the trouble, and I'd like to thank you for coming to greet me."

This is a good way to win over people's hearts, and it's also an honest conspiracy. Regardless of whether he can see it or not, he has to accept it.

Did Uchiha Fugaku come up with this method, or could someone else do it?

Whether in comics or animation, Uchiha Fugaku is relatively serious and old-fashioned, unlike someone who can do such delicate things...

This method is more likely to come from women!

At this thought, Uchiha Gen glanced at Uchiha Mikoto inadvertently, and he was sure that it was her idea or her own initiative to come to greet him.

Uchiha Mikoto is indeed not simple!

Also, as the daughter of the former leader of the hawks, Setsuna Uchiha, how could the current patriarch's wife really be a housewife who knew nothing, was as gentle as water, and the big sister next door?

In the original work, Uchiha Fugaku often talks and discusses with Uchiha Mikoto. Judging from the details, Uchiha Mikoto also knows many of Uchiha's actions.

"Itachi, call someone quickly."

"Brother Xuan."

Uchiha Itachi, who had been looking up at Uchiha Gen, heard this and yelled obediently.

"Well, Itachi has grown a lot taller again."

Gen Uchiha stretched out his hand and touched the top of Uchiha Itachi's head. The look of coaxing a child made Uchiha Itachi frown slightly, but he did not move away.

Uchiha Gen saw it in his eyes. This little kid wouldn't think that he had grown up and matured, right?

Mu De, even in his past life and this life, he dare not say that he is completely mature.

Gen Uchiha took back his hand and smiled: "Long time no see, Shisui. How are you doing?"

"That's great. The war is over, how about that?"

Uchiha Shisui had a sunny smile on his face, and it could be seen that he was really happy.

"By the way, Xuan, Fugaku asked me to say sorry to you."

"I can't completely fulfill what I promised you. I can only make you the deputy captain of the police department like Shisui."

"Because the two elders feel that you and Shisui have too little qualifications and insufficient management experience. It may not be a good thing to be in high positions at a young age."

"So in order to better train you, we need more learning and experience."

Uchiha Mikoto looked apologetic and bowed slightly.

The two elders are both the elders of the Uchiha clan and the two deputy ministers of the police department. They have certain checks and balances on Uchiha Fugaku, both in the clan and in the police department.

Gen Uchiha: "..."

Cao Nima's qualifications are shallow and he hates the word "qualifications".

I also have insufficient management experience. How will you know that I have insufficient management experience if you don’t try?

A team, including myself, is only seventeen people. Does such a small number of people require a lot of management experience?

Regardless of whether the two elders were suppressing them to support their own people, or they really thought that this could better train them, he felt annoyed!

"Shisui, what do you think?" Gen Uchiha said calmly.

"I think the elder's concerns are reasonable, and I should practice more."

Zhisui smiled innocently and honestly expressed his inner thoughts.

Gen Uchiha: "..."

Sure enough, you are not afraid of opponents who are like gods, but you are afraid of opponents who are like pigs. How can I express my opinions like this?

Yes, we can only retreat in order to advance.

Being a deputy is most suitable for people who are unmotivated and can make a comfortable living.

The most suitable person for a motivated person like him is to be a leader. Since he is not a leader, there is no need to waste too much effort.

Increase your strength secretly and wait for the opportunity.

It's not worth falling out with the two elders over this matter.

And judging from the fact that Uchiha Fugaku also agreed, the three of them have probably completed the exchange of interests and reached a tacit understanding.

Uchiha Fugaku will probably not support him, and will offend one more person. A genius is just a genius after all...

As for the superiors, when they are useful, they wish they could be worshiped by their ancestors, but when they are useless, it is common for them to discard them like worn-out shoes.

Many people in power have no moral integrity and only weigh pros and cons.

But he has remembered this Liangzi, and he will have to get it back with interest in the future!

"The concerns of the elders are indeed not unreasonable. The vice-captain will be the vice-captain. I am still young and there will be many opportunities in the future."

"And during this period of time, I have been studying with Mr. Orochimaru, so I really don't have time to manage the team."

"That being the case, I'll just put my name on it. Orochimaru-sensei's matters are more important!"

Uchiha has a deep mind and a deep castle. Although he is unhappy in his heart, his face shows no expression at all and he is still smiling.

Having a name means that you don't need to go to work or perform tasks, you just get a salary.

If he can't be a leader, he will fish and gather wool.

Although Gen Uchiha did not show dissatisfaction, the woman's intuition told Uchiha Mikoto that dissatisfaction had already arisen.

The intervention of the two elders was unexpected. It was a bad thing for the young man in front of him, but it was not a bad thing for Fugaku.

Only if they are dissatisfied with the two elders will the Uchiha geniuses be closer to the patriarchal line, and Fugaku's position will be more stable!

"I will convey your wishes to Fugaku. There should be no problem."

Gen Uchiha: "..."

Last time your husband agreed as happily as you did.

"To express my apology, please come to my house for a meal tonight."

"Shisui will go too."

Uchiha Gen smiled slightly and said, "Then I'll excuse you."

He had to go for this meal, otherwise he would have been thought to be dissatisfied with the clan leader, although he did have some dissatisfaction.

The two elders took the blame, and Uchiha Fugaku also had to take the blame.

"Then I'll go back and cook first."

"Who are you Itachi?"

"I'm going to train with Brother Shisui." Uchiha Itachi said quickly.

"Xuan, do you want to go training together?"

Uchiha: "..."

I feel like there's something wrong with Shisui's emotional intelligence. Didn't you notice that I just came back after a long journey?

But...it's good to go and have a look, just in time to understand Uchiha Itachi's thoughts.

"Okay, but I have to go home first."

"Well, we'll be waiting for you at the clan's third training ground."

"knew."

Uchiha Mikoto watched the interaction between the three people, feeling happy in her heart, and the smile on her face became stronger.

Itachi has shown extraordinary talent, and with the genius guidance of his father, her and the two Uchihas, her eldest son's future is bound to be limitless!

After discussing where to go, the four of them walked together for a while and then separated...
