"What on earth is going on with Uchiha Yoichi, why is his reaction so intense today?"
After people left, Uchiha Mabayashi was quite puzzled.
Although he didn't spend much time with Yoichi, after several interactions, he had come to understand this junior a little.
Gifted and rather mature in handling matters.
Aside from hitting someone at the Hokage Building, he hasn't done anything outrageous and has instead made significant contributions to Konoha due to several accidents.
Even when compromising last time, after earning merit, the clan leader and Konoha's high-level officials made him suffer some grievances, Uchiha Yoichi wasn't especially aggressively intense.
Why is his reaction so intense this time, and he even guessed the plans between him and the clan leader? Could it be that the Second Elder had contact with Uchiha Yoichi?
Uchiha Mabayashi suddenly sensed this possibility as Yoichi's reaction just now resembled that of the Uchiha Race's Radical Faction.
"It's very possible; Uchiha Yoichi's talent is not weak, coupled with the early death of his parents, the Second Elder appreciates Yoichi's talent; it's really possible he sent someone to contact him. Besides, Yoichi has recently suffered a lot of grievances, and the clan hasn't stood up for him...."
Upon considering this possibility, Uchiha Mabayashi prepared to find Clan Leader Fugaku to discuss it with him; if Yoichi had the support of the Second Elder, then the clan leader's plans might be difficult to realize.

"This ability is really... and must subconsciously control the mouth not to speak; it would be better if I couldn't hear others' inner voices at all...."
Uchiha Yoichi, using this ability for the first time, roughly explored the advantages and disadvantages of this ability.
However, there were some gains; at least he knew Clan Leader Uchiha Fugaku had plans to persuade him to tolerate things once more; this time, he directly used the ability to firmly refuse. Though it was driven by ability, it also reflected Yoichi's true thoughts.
He wasn't worried about anything else; he just felt uneasy about the Chakra Metal Weapons, but Uchiha Mabayashi shouldn't have such a severe retaliatory mindset; at most, they won't associate in the future.
Being a sincerely honest little gentleman is really not easy; definitely, no person in this world who never tells lies can survive past ten years without being beaten to death by others.
Now Uchiha Yoichi has a bit of a headache about what to do this month; controlling the mouth is a very troublesome thing, so he can't just stuff something into it.
"Try not to meet people; as for the Uchiha Race assembly, who cares to go can go."
Yoichi decided in his heart, realizing from Mabayashi's inner voice that Fugaku didn't have any good ideas, and his role as clan leader always stood from the so-called bigger picture.
He never considered that this big picture was sustained by all the Uchiha for him.
In a few days, he'll inquire about the Chakra Metal Ninja Blade matter. When that time comes, he'll hand the forging money to Mabayashi; after what happened recently, he also wants to stay away from the benefits Mabayashi offers.
As for those swordsmanship skills, they are all basic swordsmanship; he didn't take any of the Uchiha Style Swordsmanship.
"Train; being strong oneself is the real thing."
After traversing into the Ninja World, Yoichi had little interaction with the clan or village; with his gold finger unreliable, he can only rely on his own strength to survive in the Ninja World and truly has no interest in playing village role-play with Fugaku.
If he had Hokage Level strength, he would have left the village directly.
Yoichi took his money and then headed towards the Hokage Building, intending to entrust others to help him release a commission, worried he might blurt out Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo's secrets at the Hokage Building.
The commission was set at C-Class; a squad of about three people for training for a week should be enough with a reward of 80,000 ryo to attract people.
Yoichi reaped several tens of millions of ryo outside for a month; just that noble from the Land of Grass gave him 2 million ryo, so he wasn't short of money at all now.
Randomly finding an Uchiha clan member and giving them 10,000 ryo as a running fee, Yoichi waited for the ninja squad accepting the mission to arrive.
On the other side, returning to the Security Team, Uchiha Mabayashi also informed Fugaku of Yoichi's abnormal behaviors.
"Clan Leader, are we pressuring Yoichi too much? This has led to his intense reaction; after all, in that C-Class mission of eradicating bandits, Yoichi was meritorious, but was treated like this, even other clan members would not be able to tolerate it...."
"Senior Mabayashi, I know you like to care for talented juniors in the clan, but I've already made significant concessions in this matter; Yoichi sent that ninja to the hospital, now he only needs to apologize and it's over, is that hard?"
Fugaku shook his head and continued saying, "Regardless, Yoichi is still a ninja of the village; that ninja bad-mouthing him, Yoichi could have returned to the Security Team, but directly acting in the Hokage Building is quite inappropriate."
Mabayashi somewhat agreed, saying, "Clan Leader, you're right, but Yoichi's temper today is quite fierce; I estimate he won't attend tomorrow's clan assembly, and even if he does, if there's further support from the Second Elder's side...."
"First bring him to attend the clan assembly; then you take people to find him, make sure he must attend."
Fugaku thought strongly of making Yoichi agree but was somewhat apprehensive about the Second Elder's side; he was now indecisive.

Uchiha Yoichi looked at the white-haired figure in front of him and couldn't help asking, "Are you the ninja who accepted my posted task? I remember my requirement was around three people; where are your teammates?"
"I just got promoted to Chunin and haven't formed a team yet, but if it's the requirements mentioned in the task, I can still manage."
Hatake Kakashi, after speaking, immediately formed the Ren Seal with his hands and said, "Shadow Clone Jutsu."
Boom! Boom!
Hatake Kakashi directly divided into two shadow clones, then continued to say, "If it's merely three people throwing shuriken, I can still manage."
Upon seeing this, Yoichi asked, "How long can your shadow clones last?"
Kakashi replied, "Without using ninjutsu, they can last for about an hour; then I'll need to restore Chakra."
"Then it's you."
Yoichi didn't hear any inner voices from Kakashi, this six-year-old child, and had nothing particular to say, so he directly began the task.
Despite Kakashi being only six years old, he was a genuine Chunin; without strength, Konoha wouldn't have let him pass for the sake of his father.
Just the Shuriken Throwing alone, Kakashi's level was stronger than a typical Chunin.
After he divided into three shadow clones, he then stood at three positions, endlessly seeking chances to throw shurikens at Yoichi.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
The forest suddenly resounded with intense metallic clashing sounds; even without infusing Chakra on the shuriken, the shurikens Kakashi threw had some power.
Simultaneously throwing from three directions brought considerable pressure on Yoichi; without the Sharingan's dynamic vision, he wouldn't dare to train this way.
However, as time progressed, Yoichi's blocking grew increasingly proficient.
