Chapter 86 Something is not right
After getting some intelligence on Uchiha Yu's strength, Uchiha启 also began to prepare to figure out Uchiha Yu's patrol route.
Since he had already decided to act, Uchiha启 would absolutely not be soft-hearted, nor would he drag it out for too long.
Uchiha启 and his squad had been back in Konoha for some time. Although the frontline battles had largely ended, until the negotiations were completely settled, they were still in a state of conflict.
It wasn't impossible for their squad to enter the Land of Grass again; of course, they might also be sent on other missions.
It wasn't just them; any combat power was truly not worth wasting.
Uchiha启 remembered that Kakashi's squad later re-entered the Land of Grass and was then ambushed by Uchiha Madara, who had obtained information in advance.
In that battle, Rin Nohara had the Three-Tails sealed inside her, and to protect Konoha's safety, she chose to die by Kakashi's hand when they were ambushed by the Mist Anbu.
This action directly affected the future of two people. Uchiha Obito, who witnessed everything, awakened his Mangekyo just a few months after awakening his Sharingan!
Uchiha Madara understood the Sharingan too well, and he also understood human nature too well.
It was precisely because he saw the good in Uchiha Obito's heart that he forcibly twisted this 'good' into 'evil.' Someone who is bright can become just as dark once they fall!
The complexity of human nature was utterly manipulated by this man, who was on the verge of death. The destructive power caused by Obito, who had fallen into 'evil,' was truly terrifying, and the future had already provided the answer.
In Uchiha启's opinion, Minato Namikaze's squad was actually a replica of Kakashi's Team 7 in the future, only the person who went down the dark path had changed.
Kakashi's favoritism towards Sasuke wasn't just because Sasuke was a descendant of the Uchiha Clan; it was more likely because he saw his own past self in Sasuke, wasn't it?
Uchiha启 was now a bit worried that he might also have to cooperate with them on that mission, as his squad had previously cooperated with Kakashi's squad on missions.
Although Uchiha启 did have the idea of participating in this mission, he also knew that when he returned, it probably wouldn't be long before the Fourth Hokage would be elected.
So, before he left Konoha, he planned to resolve some things he could handle, such as the Uchiha Yu brothers, whom he intended to deal with before leaving.
Even if he couldn't deal with both, dealing with one would suffice.
After all, Orochimaru's scandal was growing, and the disappearance of an Uchiha at this time would likely have a ripple effect.
Moreover, it was hard to say what the situation would be like when he returned; perhaps the Military Police Force would start watching more closely.
However, the thought of needing time to try and stimulate the Mangekyo and figure out a way for the life support device gave Uchiha启 a headache.
"I suddenly realize that I seem to have no money, and not much time either," Uchiha启 sighed. Getting to his current situation was indeed quite frustrating.
Now Uchiha启 was even considering whether he should just go do some missions and earn a little money?
But after thinking it over, Uchiha启 felt it was inappropriate. If he missed out on something he wanted to participate in because of these missions, that would be truly frustrating.
Sighing helplessly, Uchiha启 felt he had to take things one step at a time. If there was truly no other way, he could only try to see if he could borrow some money from Uchiha Fugaku.
"Lord Qi." Just as Uchiha启 was lost in thought, someone suddenly called out from behind him.
"Hm?" Uchiha启 turned his head back, looking puzzled.
He had been back in Konoha for a month and a half. As his reputation quietly rose in Konoha, coupled with his gaining the qualification to attend Clan meetings, many Uchiha Ninja had begun to address him as 'Lord.'
"Lord Qi, the Clan Head wants to see you." This Uchiha Clan member was quite respectful: "The Clan Head is at the Military Police Force now."
"I understand, I'll go right away." Uchiha启 nodded, indicating that he understood.
Uchiha启 had already prepared himself mentally for Uchiha Fugaku wanting to see him this time, after all, he had publicly beaten a member of the Military Police Force on the street.
Such a thing was quite embarrassing to talk about, but Uchiha启 had ample reason, and he handled the matter very appropriately.
Aside from stopping the Military Police Force members and directly hitting Uchiha Hiroki, there was nothing else. Therefore, he didn't think Uchiha Fugaku would make too big a deal out of it.
Uchiha启 arrived at the Military Police Force after some time, and he quickly noticed that the people here seemed overly serious.
Especially when they saw Uchiha启, the looks they gave him were very complex, which Uchiha启 found very amusing.
Is it that serious? Wasn't it just hitting Uchiha Hiroki?
Could this guy actually have a lot of fame and prestige in the Military Police Force?
With this doubt, Uchiha启 walked into the Military Police Force, ignoring the gazes of the Ninja inside, and went directly to Uchiha Fugaku's office.
"Come in." As Uchiha启 knocked on the door, Uchiha Fugaku's voice followed.
Uchiha启 pushed the door open and found that only Uchiha Fugaku was in the office; Uchiha Hiroki was not there at all.
This made Uchiha启 a bit surprised. The fact that the main victim wasn't present could only mean one thing: Uchiha Fugaku probably didn't take this matter too seriously himself!
"Clan Head." Although he had already guessed, Uchiha启 still bowed respectfully.
"No need to pretend. Can't you guess the situation when you see this?" Uchiha Fugaku shook his head, then pointed to a chair nearby and said, "Sit."
"Yes, Clan Head." Uchiha启 nodded, then silently sat down on the chair: "May I ask if the Clan Head has any other matters for calling me here?"
"What do you think?" Uchiha Fugaku asked playfully: "Your analytical ability seems very strong to me, and you're also very intelligent. Guess what I called you here for?"
My analytical ability is strong because I know what will happen in the future!
Uchiha启 cursed inwardly, but he quickly began to ponder Uchiha Fugaku's purpose.
Since Uchiha Hiroki wasn't here, and Uchiha Fugaku's attitude wasn't angry, it was basically confirmed that this guy wasn't here to cause him trouble.
The most likely scenario was that it was routine business. After all, he was the Clan Head, and even if he thought highly of himself, he couldn't show it too much.
Suddenly, Uchiha启 seemed to think of some possibilities.
Last time, Uchiha启 had talked about the relationship between Konoha and the Uchiha Clan, and Uchiha启 had even, without hesitation, criticized the Military Police Force's conduct as very annoying at the Clan meeting.
The actions of Konoha's higher-ups combined with the Uchiha Clan's own actions were causing the Uchiha to become increasingly estranged from Konoha.
This time, he, as an Uchiha, had severely disciplined a member of the Military Police Force, which could be said to be a harsh slap in the face to those Hardliners.
Could it be that Uchiha Fugaku already had plans to change?
And he was that 'wedge'?
Or was it that his actions made him feel that he was catering to Konoha's ideas, and then intended to have him join Konoha's Anbu as a spy?
Suddenly, Uchiha启 couldn't help but overthink things.
