After traveling through time, I became friends with Tsunade

Watching Yusuke and others walk out of the door, Sarutobi Hiruzen's thoughts became heavier, and he couldn't help but sigh deeply.

Among his four disciples, Tsunade has taken over the medical department, and Yusuke is gradually moving towards the center of power. Everything is moving in the direction he planned. However, Orochimaru and Jiraiya...

Although Jiraiya's departure was to atone for Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen understood him, and this might only be part of the reason.

After every war, power would almost always face reorganization. Zilai, who was not interested in power, didn't want to get involved in this mess. He knew this, so he just let him be.

But Orochimaru has changed. After a war, Orochimaru has become even more indifferent to life.

He could never forget that crude underground laboratory filled with containers of all sizes. Except for a few Konoha ninjas sent by Danzo, the rest were refugees caused by the war.

Sarutobi Hiruzen had seen the laboratory of his teacher Senju Tobirama, so this small scene did not have much impact on him. However, he did not want Orochimaru to embark on this path.

However, since no one from the village was involved, he had no reason to stop Orochimaru's pursuit and could only give him a warning. Of course, Uchiha Ming and others were killed by the Root and were then sent to Orochimaru for experiments by Danzo.

It was not until Orochimaru promised not to attack the people in the village that Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed and left with a little disappointment.

After coming out of the Hokage Building, Aburame Shiho and the other two followed Yusuke like a shadow.

Yusuke did not dismiss them, after all, this would happen frequently in the future. The most important point is, why not raise your own thugs and let the Third Hokage pay for it?

……

"Sir, we are here."

After Shimura Maki finished speaking, he silently walked behind Yusuke.

"You are truly worthy of being the first family of Konoha."

Looking at the luxurious decoration of the teahouse, Youjie couldn't help but admire it, and then walked over.

From a distance, the ninja waiting at the door, upon seeing Yusuke, quickly stepped forward to lead the way and said respectfully: "Master Yusuke, please!"

As soon as Youjie entered the door, he saw only lone waiters standing on both sides and bowing. There was no one else in the entire hall.

The teahouse was managed in a private room style, and each room was equipped with a soundproofing system. It seemed that Uchiha Fugaku had not opened the teahouse to entertain himself today.

"Yusuke! Who are they?" Upon hearing Yusuke's arrival, Uchiha Fugaku stepped out of the private room. He saw three people following Yusuke, especially a ninja from the Hyuga clan, and couldn't help but ask.

"Go in first!"

Yusuke did not respond, but walked straight past Uchiha Fugaku and entered the private room he had just been in. After he realized what was happening, he hurriedly followed.

"Let me introduce you. This is Uchiha Fugaku, the patriarch of the Uchiha clan."

Yusuke had just sat down on the futon when Aburame Shiho and the other three also followed behind him, kneeling down on their knees and placing their buttocks on their heels, sitting down.

Then, Yusuke introduced Uchiha Fugaku to the three people sitting behind him.

"Aburame Shiho, Hinata Hiroya, Shimura Maki, they will be responsible for monitoring your clan for the next period of time."

Aburame Shiho and the other two stared at Yusuke speechlessly, muttering to themselves, it would be fine if they just monitored the Uchiha clan, but why did they have to expose them?

"Ah."

Uchiha Fugaku was also sitting back, and replied calmly, "Then, will you be responsible for the subsequent surveillance mission?"

"Yes, I am now working in the Anbu, and they are all my subordinates. I greeted you just to relieve you from too much pressure."

Yusuke tapped the tabletop with his hand. "As for when to cancel the surveillance, it depends on when you can truly secure your position as the clan leader and make your clan members believe in you."

"I understand."

Uchiha Fugaku said nothing more, and began to light the charcoal fire and boil water. As a traditional clan, the Uchiha were very particular about the tea ceremony. During this process, Yusuke did not disturb him, but just watched quietly.

"please!"

After a while, five cups filled with tea were neatly placed in front of Uchiha Fugaku.

Yusuke and the others picked up their cups and savored the drink carefully.

"During this period of time, you will stay in the family and try to get rid of surveillance as soon as possible. In addition, you must report the situation of the family to the Third Hokage regularly every month. Since you have chosen to be loyal, you must act loyal."

"I see."

Uchiha Fugaku sipped his tea and nodded weakly in response.

"Don't stress too much, the situation has been opened up, everything is moving in a good direction, isn't it?"

Yusuke looked at Uchiha Fugaku's tired appearance and then spoke to comfort him.

"I know, now it's time for me to fulfill my vow."

Uchiha Fugaku looked at Yusuke seriously.

Yusuke didn't say anything else. He grabbed a handful of dried tea leaves from the teapot and placed them neatly on the table.

"This one is for the clan leader, this one is for the security team, this one is for your supporters in the clan, and the last one is for the unstable clan members who are hiding. And this empty teacup represents the Uchiha clan."

Youjie pointed at the tea leaves on the table and explained their categories one by one.

"Currently, you occupy two."

Afterwards, Yusuke combined the two portions of tea belonging to Uchiha Fugaku into one.

"Put it in this teacup like this, will the brewed tea be sweet or bitter?"

Yusuke asked as he picked up the teacup.

"It's sweet, but not tasty enough."

Uchiha Fugaku said without even thinking.

Yusuke then placed the remaining two portions of tea in front of Uchiha Fugaku.

"Next, which problem do you want to solve first, the guard team or the hidden unstable tribesmen?"

Yusuke asked Uchiha Fugaku.

"Guardian Force!" Uchiha Fugaku answered without hesitation.

"Okay, let's say half of the current security team supports you and the other half does not."

Yusuke then divided the tea leaves belonging to the security team into a portion that had good interactions, and placed the rest separately.

"What will you choose? Will you bring them together again to form the original one, or abandon them?"

Uchiha Fugaku fell into deep thought. After a moment, he put the tea leaves back into one.

"The Uchiha clan has not yet reached a state of unity, so it is inevitable that there will be disputes and disagreements. Moreover, if we put them together, this flaw will not be so obvious."

Then, Uchiha Fugaku mixed them with the tea leaves in front of Yusuke.

"This is what it looks like when you control the Konoha Guard. Based on your experience in the tea ceremony, is the tea brewed from these leaves sweet or bitter?"

Yusuke inquired as he placed three portions of tea leaves into the empty teacup.

"sweet."

Uchiha Fugaku answered affirmatively.

"it is good."

Yusuke poured out the tea leaves in the cup, and then placed the fourth portion of tea in front of Uchiha Fugaku.

"So, if you put all four into the teacup, will it be sweet or bitter?"

Uchiha Fugaku stared at the tea leaves solemnly, and finally said with a wry smile: "Too many."

Yusuke clapped his hands and responded, "I understand."
