Chapter 88 Future Investment
When Uchiha启 used to play games, he heard a saying: 'It's better to have a good team than to play well.'
At first, Uchiha启 felt this statement was a bit extreme, because what's the use of a good team if you don't have the skill?
But later, Uchiha启 found that this statement was very reasonable, whether it was for Grandmasters or for Iron and Bronze players, it seemed to work well. Simply put, it was a 'game of luck'!
Coming to this world, luck truly became even more important, because it concerned Uchiha启's own life!
For example, on the battlefield, an enemy Ninja throws a Kunai at you, and you can't dodge it, but at that exact moment, either an enemy Ninja or your own teammate suddenly appears in front of you.
No matter in which world, besides having one's own abilities, luck is absolutely indispensable. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many talented people who never get their chance.
Uchiha启's luck was decent; although he had encountered things so unlucky they made him furious, at least this time, his luck was truly good!
From getting some information about Uchiha Yu to obtaining his mission route, it didn't take him much time at all, in fact, it barely wasted any of his energy.
This left Uchiha启 with nothing to say except to marvel at his good luck.
Out of retaliation, Uchiha启 took action against Uchiha Hiroki, and who knew that his Jonin Instructor had once been Uchiha Yu's teammate.
Uchiha启 went to the Military Police Force, intending to see what Uchiha Hiroki planned to do, but nothing happened, and Uchiha Fugaku even offered to help him solve some problems.
Although he knew this was simply a gesture of goodwill, or perhaps a desire not to affect the atmosphere within the clan.
But by chance, he left Uchiha启 alone there, allowing Uchiha启 to unexpectedly find the Military Police Force's patrol route map!
Seeing these things, Uchiha启 could only lament that even the heavens seemed to want Uchiha Yu to die; there was nothing else to say.
Uchiha Fugaku took about ten minutes to return, and in those ten minutes, Uchiha启 had basically memorized the route map.
When Uchiha Fugaku came in again, Uchiha启 had already returned to his previous position.
Uchiha Yu also came in this time, and it was clear that he was very unhappy.
But he still suppressed his anger and stood silently to the side. Clearly, Uchiha Fugaku must have had a good 'chat' with him, making him dare not be so presumptuous.
"Qi-kun." Uchiha Fugaku sat directly back in his seat: "Find some time to visit Hiroki, understood?"
"I will go and apologize properly." Uchiha启 bowed slightly to Uchiha Fugaku, but he didn't even glance at Uchiha Yu: "I was out of line, I will go back and reflect on my words and actions."
"Go." Uchiha Fugaku waved his hand: "Oh, and while you're at it, teach Itachi a bit. You're almost never there whenever he comes to visit you."
"I will." Uchiha启 nodded, then turned and left.
Teach Uchiha Itachi?
He'd see if he had time. Uchiha启 felt that he basically wouldn't have time, even if he said he planned to reflect on his words and actions.
According to the route map and action plan, Uchiha Yu's next patrol should be in three days. Uchiha启 needed to prepare well these next few days.
As a Ninja, there are many things to do when you have intelligence on an enemy. The most basic is to scout the terrain and choose an ambush location.
At the same time, there are many things that need to be prepared, such as Kunai, shuriken, and other items that need to be restocked.
A Ninja is a warrior; how can a warrior fight without weapons?
Thinking of this, Uchiha启 decided that he would go out tomorrow to buy some necessary Ninja tools as preparation. Additionally, he would also walk the route map to see which place was most suitable for him.
In Uchiha启's estimation, the best ambush point didn't need to be overly concealed; excessive concealment would only make people wary. He only needed a place with little human traffic!
"Lord Qi." Just as Uchiha启 was thinking, a voice interrupted him.
Uchiha启 turned around and saw Uchiha Asahi: "Asahi-kun, no need to be so polite. Is there something you need me for?"
"Lord Qi, your classmate is waiting for you outside the clan." Uchiha Asahi remained respectful; he didn't listen to Uchiha启's words.
"Classmate?" Uchiha启 paused, then stroked his chin and nodded, saying, "Alright, I understand. Thank you for the message."
Uchiha Asahi bowed once more, then silently turned and left.
Looking at Uchiha Asahi's attitude, Uchiha启 was quite puzzled. He had said that he saved his child, but such an attitude seemed truly overly good.
Could it be that this Guy wanted to make a 'future investment' and then try to send his child to him?
Stroking his chin, Uchiha启 simply walked outside. Not long after, he saw Kakashi, Guy, and others waiting for him outside.
"What are you all doing?"
Uchiha启 was a bit confused. Kakashi was one thing, but why were Might Guy, Rin Nohara, Yuhi, and others also here?
And Shiranui Genma, Iruka, and other younger individuals were also among them. This was very different from Uchiha启's expectations.
Uchiha启 initially thought Kakashi intended to ask him to train, and Uchiha启 had no intention of refusing.
Since he had already obtained the information he wanted, going to train was also good.
Moreover, during training, he could silently release a Shadow Clone, and that Shadow Clone could transform to buy some Ninja tools or scout the terrain. In short, it was a good time to prepare.
And now...
It seemed even better than training alone with Kakashi!
With so many people watching, Uchiha启 felt he would be safer. Now, he just wasn't sure what so many people were here for. If it was group training, that would be a bit annoying.
"Ke, it's like this." Might Guy walked right over: "We don't have any missions right now, but we've all basically returned, so Rin suggested we get together, so..."
"A gathering?" Uchiha启 stroked his chin, then nodded: "Sure, let's gather."
Uchiha启 hadn't expected such an outcome, but he didn't object; in fact, he strongly approved!
These people were all future cornerstones and even pillars of Konoha. Building good relationships with them had always been one of Uchiha启's plans, regardless of whether his plan ultimately succeeded or failed.
This was also his future investment.
