Naruto: After traveling through time, I became the disciple of the first generation

"I heard that Clan Leader Tomohiro is here? I'm Uchiha Fugaku, and I wanted to come meet you."

Youhong and Liya looked at each other, then immediately went to open the door.

"Ah! Chief Fugaku, we were thinking of visiting you later, but you came here first."

Uchiha Fugaku shook his head: "It's all the same. I'm free now and have nothing to do, so I came here. What are you busy with?"

Tomohiro waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, we have already cleaned up, please take a seat, Chief Fugaku."

"Liya, go make a pot of tea."

Uchiha Fugaku's eyes lit up when he heard about tea: "Patriarch Youhong also likes to drink tea?"

Youhong laughed and said, "Last time when I left Master Qufeng's place, I took some of Master's good tea with me. I didn't expect that he would bring it back today. It's just right for me to taste it with Master Fugaku."

Uchiha Fugaku was overjoyed: "That's great."

Tomohiro and Uchiha Fugaku were drinking tea and chatting, and they mainly talked about family matters.

At first, both of them were wary of each other, so they were reserved in what they said.

Until later, the two of them got along better and better, and they both maintained a certain relationship with Qufeng, so they both let go.

He began to talk about the sadness and anxiety that he could not tell to others on a daily basis.

Developing a family is really not an easy thing. The current situation of the Uchiha clan is much better than that of the Uzumaki clan.

At least there is a stable population, source of funds and excellent heirs.

But the Uzumaki clan is really in trouble. They rely on Mito for funding, and that money will be cut off in half a year.

Because there were no schools in the valley, some ninjutsu and knowledge could only be passed down through word of mouth, so there were no outstanding successors at all.

Only some can be cultivated as seedlings.

The population is totally insufficient. One third of the family members are elderly people of the same age as Youhong, and they might pass away at any time.

A small number of the remaining are young and middle-aged people, and the rest are teenagers.

It can be said that the Uzumaki clan is now in a serious situation of lack of successors, which makes Youhong very worried.

Most of the adult members of the clan are already married and have children, which means Youhong has no chance to expand the Uzumaki clan's bloodline and connections through marriage or recruiting a son-in-law.

At first, I thought that developing a family was not that difficult and I just needed to pay attention to some trivial matters.

But after operating it for a few months, I found that it was not the case at all.

It was just too hard.

Uchiha Fugaku could understand some of it, but not all.

The goal of the Uchiha clan is to return to the ranks of the major clans in Konoha Village and to restore their good reputation.

Let the people of Konoha Village accept them.

But after getting rid of some clan members who instigated rebellion, the population of the Uchiha clan showed a significant decline, and some industries began to suffer from a shortage of manpower.

This has made Uchiha Fugaku extremely anxious.

The reason I came to Konoha Village this time was to take my wife and children out for a walk.

The second is that he wants to discuss with Uchiha Jing the future direction of the family, as well as what methods are available to enable the family to quickly integrate into the village and restore its strength.

These past few days, Uchiha Fugaku has been constantly looking for Jing, and the results he has obtained have been useful.

At least it gave him some new inspiration, and he planned to try it out after returning to his own world.

"The Chinese New Year is just two days away. I really don't know what the Spring Festival will be like. This is the first time I've seen such a festival."

Uchiha Fugaku also nodded: "Although the two worlds have been connected for two years, in the first year almost no one cared about the Spring Festival."

"I didn't expect it to become so popular all of a sudden this year. Now everyone knows about it. To be honest, I also want to see what the festival gala will include."

"Yeah, it's really exciting." Youhong replied.

The two chatted for a long time, until it was time for dinner at night, when they said goodbye to each other and left.

However, since there are so many people in the Yunzhong tribe, the usual cooking method is no longer feasible.

So Qufeng opened another kitchen in the clan territory, which was mainly used by the two families of Tomohiro and Uchiha Fugaku.

If they want to eat, they can make it themselves and then bring it over for everyone to eat together.

This change was just a minor incident and no one reacted.

After all, it is impossible for one person to cook nearly twenty meals at the same time. That would be exhausting.

We all have jobs or other things to do, and we are all short on time.

Especially for people like Amado and Minato, dinner is already ready when they get home from get off work.

Youhong is more used to it, after all, it is not the first time he has eaten in the Yunzhong tribe’s territory.

The three young men he brought with him were more reserved. They didn't dare to pick up any food at the dinner table, looking like they were being bullied.

"You two kids were so happy at home, why are you like this now?"

"Master Patriarch, we don't want to either, but when we see Master Qufeng, we can't help but get nervous."

Hearing this, Youhong said speechlessly: "How can you have such a strange problem?"

After eating and drinking, everyone dispersed.

Lan did not come back tonight, but had dinner with Xinyu at a hot pot restaurant.

As the Chinese New Year approaches, more and more people come to hotpot restaurants, and many people apply for the job of shop assistant.

During the annual leave stipulated by Mr. Qufeng, jobs have to pay multiple times the salary, and many people want to make some extra money from this.

However, most people still like to take a vacation so they can relax and not think about anything.

"Xinyu, you order first. Eat whatever you want. Just order whatever you want."

Xinyu smiled slightly when she heard this: "So generous? Then I won't be polite."

After that, he started busying himself with the menu. When Lan took the menu, he saw that it was full of various vegetables and there was nothing expensive.

When Lan asked, Xinyu just stuck out her tongue and said, "Girls don't eat too much at night. They want to maintain a good figure, so just some green vegetables will do."

Lan couldn't resist and finally had to agree.

There were a lot of people in the hot pot restaurant. Lan had tried his best to choose a seat in the corner, but it was still quite noisy.

As for Qufeng's private room, Lan knew about its existence, but he didn't think that his relationship with Lord Qufeng was good enough to use his private room.

So we reserved a table downstairs. Xinyu didn't feel anything, as she came here often and was used to it.

Without this noisy feeling, it would be a bit cooler.

Hotpot is better when it’s lively and hot.
