Chapter 45
"My family is all dead, and it's always been Uncle Yashi who takes care of me. As long as I don't beg, he won't care about me."
Uchiha Yan said hurriedly. He was adopted by Uchiha Yashi as his own child since he was a child.
In addition to a girl who went to the ninja school, the Yashi family used to pick up and drop off the children at the beginning, but now they are almost free-range.
"That's perfect. It's better to do it today than today. I'll pack my things and you can go with me to Lord Orochimaru." Uchiha Zhen was excited. No one was taking care of him!
"Go... Lord Orochimaru's mansion... Can I go in?" Uchiha Yan was not sure. Every time he saw Orochimaru, his hair stood up, as if he was stared at by a snake and could be ambushed at any time.
"You are going to live with Lord Orochimaru?" Uchiha Reina asked in panic.
"Master Orochimaru has accepted me as his disciple. I will share some of his tasks and guide me in my practice." Uchiha Zhen didn't want to worry his parents. "If it's too late, I will rest there. Master Orochimaru has agreed."
"Then... can I go too?" Uchiha Yan swallowed his saliva. He always felt that something was wrong. The taste of the master in front of him was too strong!
Isn't he afraid? !
"Well! Come with me! I won't treat you badly."
Uchiha Zhen was like a weird uncle who kidnapped a child, guiding Uchiha Yan step by step.
Uchiha Huai always felt that his son and that adult were doing something shameful. He didn't want his child to have power involvement with the Konoha high-level officials.
...
Hyuga clan leader's mansion.
After returning, Hyuga Hiashi told everything that happened in Uchiha.
Especially the 300 million compensation!
"That's all?" The old Hyuga clan leader frowned and thought, "Hizashi, say it again."
Hyuga Hiashi was dissatisfied with the old clan leader's disbelief in his words, so he could only vent his emotions on his younger brother.
"Hizashi, even if you have intersections with Uchiha, don't forget that you are Hyuga!"
"Hmm?" The old Hyuga clan leader raised his eyelids and looked at his youngest son, "Speak!"
"It's the same as what my brother said, but it seems that Uchiha Fugaku will hesitate when making a decision."
The old Hyuga clan leader couldn't suppress the anger in his heart. How could he give birth to these two wastes!
It's not so hard to squeeze toothpaste.
"What did Uchiha Fugaku say to you when you went there?"
Seeing that there was no useful information, the old Hyuga clan leader began to squeeze out one sentence after another.
"He said... he asked us what we eat, what we drink, and other nonsense. He asked several times, and the more he asked, the more detailed he asked. I suspect he is probing our Hyuga bottom!"
Hiashi's words made the old Hyuga clan leader crazy.
How could a king bring out such a bronze player? Is this a test of the bottom?
This is a typical way of stalling time!
"Was Uchiha Makoto there at the time?"
"No, he came later and started the meal after he arrived... and then asked Uchiha Makoto to take us to see the losses!"
"Uchiha Makoto didn't eat much at the table. I suspect that Uchiha poisoned him. He only ate the food that Uchiha Makoto and Uchiha Fugaku had prepared."
Hiashi told us everything that happened today.
The old Hyuga clan leader is on the verge of going berserk.
Poisoning!
You went in so blatantly that they let you come out lying down?
And is the meal the main point?
The main point is what you said when you sat together!
Is compensation the main point?
That's hush money!
As long as you don't drag them around for a few rounds!
The main point of letting you go is that the two clans are likely to cooperate in the future!
Convey this to Uchiha Fugaku and just say a few pleasantries.
Now the two of them are more likely to cause trouble than help.
"Waste!"
The old Hyuga clan leader scolded the two and no one dared to say anything.
Hizashi seemed to realize something and said after a pause: "In fact, we have conveyed the father's meaning verbatim at the beginning of the meal."
"What Uchiha said, repeat it to me verbatim, don't be so stupid that you can't remember it."
The old Hyuga clan leader lost his patience and didn't want to listen to their summary.
"Uchiha Fugaku said... Father is worthy of being a man who has experienced many ups and downs, and then looked at Uchiha Makoto and asked him what he thought?"
Hizashi not only repeated the original words, but also added actions, for fear of missing a detail.
Hiashi also understood what the old patriarch wanted, and continued: "Then Uchiha Makoto said... you are sensible, we are all blood family, we should understand each other, and said that those branch families who assassinated were instigated... He said this while eating!"
"It seems that Uchiha Fugaku's position as patriarch is not yet stable, and he has to ask Uchiha Makoto about everything. A seven-year-old child actually has this ability." The old Hyuga patriarch frowned, which made him puzzled."No way, Uchiha Fugaku is the son of the former clan leader, and Uchiha Makoto is just a scapegoat." Hiashi looked down on Uchiha Makoto.
"Humph! That was a year ago. Do you think a scapegoat can survive on the battlefield without any means?"
The scolding continued, and the two men buried their heads even lower.
"I asked you to tell me what happened in Uchiha. What information did you convey to me? Uchiha Fugaku is trying to find out your bottom line!"
"Suspected that the food was poisoned! Scolded by the Uchiha elder! The rent is shabby! I don't know if the casualties are true or false!"
"Stupid! I asked you to investigate the attitude of Uchiha in the name of damage assessment and compensation, but you brought me this nonsense!"
"What my Hyuga clan needs is a clan leader with brains, not a repeater!"
"Father taught me right!" The two were ashamed. They really didn't know the attitude of Uchiha.
"I tell you clearly that Uchiha Fugaku relied on Uchiha Makoto, and Uchiha Makoto knew the truth about the assassination and told us that we were all victims."
The old Hyuga clan leader analyzed the two people word by word and asked them to reflect.
As a clan leader, sometimes you can't speak directly, it's easy to be caught, and you have to listen to the meaning of the words with the thinking of a clan leader.
At this point, the old clan leader suddenly thought of the task he had assigned them, "Did Uchiha Makoto accept the gift?"
The two brothers were stunned and almost forgot about it. They nodded quickly, "Accepted it!"
"That's good." The old Hyuga clan leader scolded for a long time, took a sip of tea, and finally got something done, "What did you give?"
These two children are not unsuccessful, at least they are good at giving gifts.
It is inevitable for large families to maintain relationships and visit the daimyo and nobles of the Land of Fire, and naturally they will prepare generous gifts!
Even if I am no longer around, some of the Fire Nation nobles' connections can make the Hokage a little wary.
Hyuga Hiashi was very reluctant to give the Uchiha gifts, and said sadly: "I have carefully selected some of our Hyuga's experience in physical skills!"
