Fugaku asked.
If it was any other issue, he could still use his status as the clan leader to pressure Qingsi.
But the current situation is special, and his pressure might actually have a good effect.
Moreover, it's obvious they're not giving the three generations behind them a friendly look.
Fugaku, who just wanted to continue to develop in a low-key manner, naturally would not do anything to Seiji at this critical juncture.
"……Correct."
Mikoto smiled when she saw Fugaku's expectant look.
But there was a hint of resentment in the smile.
If only Fugaku could care about whether she was tired or not.
Mikoto suddenly thought of Seiji on the battlefield.
Qingsi can be said to care about her in every possible way.
Just today...
Mikoto shuddered at the thought of the hideousness within the fabric.
This is just a normal teenage reaction.
Mikoto could only comfort herself in this way.
Qingsi didn't think that way either.
At the same time, Mikoto felt like she didn't recognize herself anymore.
The action just now was obviously a hug given by Seiji to help Fugaku.
This made Mikoto feel ashamed and guilty.
Oh my goodness.
If Fugaku knew that this was how she exchanged for Seiji's help, what would he think of her?
"Mikoto?"
Fugaku noticed that Mikoto seemed distracted and didn't respond to his words.
"Ah, sorry."
Mikoto came back to her senses.
"Let's go in first, the other tribesmen will be here soon."
Fugaku turned and walked forward.
"Fugaku, what's going on between us..."
"With the war underway, our clan is in crisis. We'll discuss these matters later."
Fugaku looked back at Mikoto before leaving.
He remembered that Mikoto had always been sensible and that he had said that they needed to wait until the war was over.
Now it seems that women's vision has always been a little short-sighted.
Fugaku is a male chauvinist at heart, and his requirement for Mikoto is that she retire from being a ninja in the future and just stay at home to take care of her husband and children.
The thousands of words in Mikoto's mouth were stuck in her throat, and she could only mumble a muffled "hmm".
She followed Fugaku step by step into the Nanga Shrine, lifted a stone slab, and walked into the secret passage below.
The dim firelight in the secret room illuminated the secret passage, illuminating the delicate face.
But those unusually beautiful eyes had a rare look of confusion.
…………
Time passes gradually.
The tribesmen gradually sat down in the secret room of Nanhe Shrine according to their seats.
Qingsi also came.
He sat in the middle seat.
Mikoto glanced at Seiji uncomfortably, feeling the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
Fortunately, Fugaku didn't notice any of this, but stood up after seeing everyone gathered.
"Let me tell you the first thing. The village has always been wary of us Uchiha."
Fugaku's voice echoed in the secret room.
The other Uchiha clan members nodded, this was indeed true.
"But times are different now. We have a genius who has joined the Anbu. This may seem like a small step, but it is actually a huge step forward for us Uchiha."
Fugaku looked at Seiji and made a gesture to stand up.
Perhaps because Fugaku needed Seiji's help, his tone of voice was much more polite than usual, without that faint sense of distance and majesty.
Qingsi stood up.
In an instant, countless eyes were staring at Qingsi.
"Master Clan Leader, are you sure that a Chunin like Seiji can join the Anbu?"
"I think so too. He's still too young. Did the village really make such a decision?"
In the secret room, doubtful voices were heard from time to time.
"I don't think people really believe it."
Qingsi glanced at everyone calmly.
Chapter 192 Who dares to have a problem with me?
"Anbu...?"
The Uchiha Yashiro's voice was low, with a hint of suppressed disgust.
Fugaku didn't answer, but just nodded slightly, his expression unchanged.
"Our police force and the Anbu have clashed more than once over Konoha's public security."
Yashiro's tone was filled with undisguised dissatisfaction.
"I know, but someone from the Uchiha clan must be able to join the Anbu, and now is the best opportunity."
Fugaku interrupted him, his tone calm, yet with a barely perceptible sense of oppression.
The maintenance of public security in Konoha Village is the responsibility of the "Konoha Police Force" led by the Uchiha clan.
As the current captain, Fugaku works day and night to maintain order in the village, handle criminal cases of all sizes, and maintain stability between ninjas and civilians.
In other words, the police force is Konoha's police agency.
However, there is another special force in the village that is directly under the Hokage - the Anbu.
Because there are many subdivisions within the Anbu, for example, the Root is a type of Anbu, but it is not directly under the jurisdiction of the Hokage.
The members of the Anbu are all elite ninjas who carry out more secretive and dangerous missions.
Not only do they frequently operate outside the village, but they also directly intervene once a major case occurs within the village.
The problem is that there has never been a clear dividing line between which cases fall under the jurisdiction of the police force and which are investigated by the secret service.
Everything is ultimately decided by the Hokage.
This means that every time the police force launches a search, there is a possibility of friction with the dark forces due to "unclear responsibilities and powers".
Negotiations, arguments, conflicts...all of this is commonplace.
As the leader of the police force, Fugaku had to stand at the forefront time and time again, negotiating with the Hokage and the Anbu to defend the power of the Uchiha clan while maintaining order in the village.
Because of this, no one knows better than him the extent of the conflict between the police force and the Anbu.
If it weren't for the coming of war, the overall situation would be more important.
Otherwise, the friction may continue to intensify.
"Hey, Qingsi, this is indeed a bit difficult."
Uchiha Tetsuka whispered to Qingsi who stood up.
Are you crazy?
Qingsi is from the same class as him.
How strong can Qingsi be?
The full name of Anbu is Assassination Tactics Special Forces!
Most of the missions involve assassinating targets, and your hands will be stained with blood.
It is equivalent to executing C-level and above tasks at any time!
"Could it be that this guy really has some ability?"
Uchiha Yeyue muttered softly.
She believed in Qingsi's talent, but no matter how talented he was, he still needed time to grow.
Qingsi ignored Uchiha Tetsuka, but just crossed his arms and gently raised his index finger.
Chakra was continuously extracted from Qingsi's body, and a wave spread out with him as the center.
"Yashiro-sama, I believe that age is not the criterion for judging a person."
Qingsi's long black hair moved without wind, like a burning black flame.
In the dim shadows, Qingsi's figure seemed to become taller.
At the same time, there is also a "force" that makes people feel depressed.
[The Power of Uchiha (Blue)]!
The weaker a person is than Qingsi, the more he can feel the "force".
Most of the people gathered here are Genin and Chunin.
Both the Jonin and the Elite Jonin are still stationed at the front lines to prevent sudden attacks from the enemy.
The eighth generation of Uchiha, who faced Qingsi head-on, could instantly feel the "power" of Qingsi.
This was originally a vague concept, but now it has become a reality for him.
Uchiha Yashiro's expression changed slightly.
Qingsi's eyes were still black, but they gave Uchiha Yashiro a sense of pressure.
What kind of technique is this?
The Uchiha Yashiro was confused.
And Uchiha Yeyue, who was not far from Qingsi, felt it the most!
Her chakra capacity is not that much, and she was able to become a Chunin only because of her seniority.
She immediately felt an invisible hand strangling her throat, making it almost impossible for her to breathe, and her fair face turned red.
Others are having a hard time, too.
It's like a tiger falling among a flock of sheep. Even if you do nothing, the surrounding sheep will feel frightened.
"Such a chakra level..."
Fugaku frowned.
Because of the bloodline of the Yeyue clan on the other side?
A ninja's chakra will continue to grow before the age of thirty.
After that, the qi and blood will gradually be depleted, the organs will age, the energy will be less than before, and the body will gradually go downhill, and the amount of chakra will become less and less.
Qingsi is still so young, but he has such a huge chakra.
The future can be said to be limitless!
