Naruto: Let's take a look at the blind Uchiha

After the Feathered Clan left, the atmosphere in the room was obviously much more relaxed. After a brief silence, Uchiha Kaiming was the first to speak, "Mashu and I have already written down the distribution of Feathered Clan buildings and patrol positions in the eastern part of Minshi, but the area covered is still too wide. We will try to sort it out and tell you before dinner."

"Well, you've been working hard. How about the others?"

"Because of the influx of merchants from all over the country, the defense of the West Market is complex and intertwined. If a conflict occurs, it will not be a good direction for breakthrough, but..."

Uchiha Wenyu sat lazily on the chair, "There are several merchants selling things that are very useful to the ninja clan, and they are extremely rare in our clan. Find an opportunity to contact them. If you can abduct a few of them back, I will turn a blind eye to your and my little disciple's sneaky behavior with the clan stele and not continue to dig deeper."

"In that case, I'd like you to continue digging deeper," Ling smiled helplessly. "Let's not talk about how to approach those already wary merchants in a completely unfamiliar situation. There's not enough time. After discussing, negotiating, and communicating privately, we should return to the tribe to make a report, and then decide whether to reply and prepare for the new year depending on the situation... Senior, please don't embarrass me, okay?"

"Difficult? It's you who want to take advantage of the opportunity to contact the black market, right?" Uchiha Wenyu snorted, "And you should find a less obvious excuse - with your personality, you probably even arranged how many wins and losses you would have in the competition, but now you're crying to me?

Anyway, regardless of other things, after entering the West Market, on the right side, you must negotiate for me with the third herbal medicine store you meet. Many of the herbs in that store are in short supply in the inland of the Fire Country, and even if you add the shipping fee, it will still be a reasonable price - this will be more useful to the clan than bringing in a few more black markets that only post remote quests."

Ling choked up immediately, and after a brief silence he sighed, "Yes, I will try my best, what about Uncle Qizhi?"

"Ah, there's nothing to worry about here. I just confirmed that the Yuyi clan is indeed not a good alliance partner."

Uchiha Keizhi raised his hand and touched his chin, then looked at Uchiha Kenji, "I left a mark on that kid Yuyi Mobai, it's your turn to get busy - after all, there are some things that even with a close relationship like that between Senju and Uzumaki, they won't tell outsiders."

"Eh? Now? I still want to hear—tsk."

Uchiha Kenji opened his eyes wide, but pursed his lips the moment he looked at Uchiha Keizhi, swallowed his words of argument, raised his hand to make a summoning seal, synchronized his vision with his own ninja cat, and left while mumbling, hiding his breath.

"Then let me continue. Although the Yuyi clan generally treats us well, judging from the subtle reactions and words of those prostitutes, as well as the subconscious actions of this boy named Yuyi Mobai, the Yuyi clan has a very strict concept of hierarchy. To some extent, they may be more troublesome than the Senju guys.

If we must form an alliance, I personally prefer the three Nara families in the Tea Kingdom. They are very measured in their actions and are particularly good at judging the situation. Their abilities are also very convenient..."

Uchiha Keizhi couldn't help smacking his lips as he spoke, "Well, but I can understand Yuyi's words. After all, even though they are now in decline, they are still an ancient ninja clan with a long heritage.

The longer the inheritance, the more rules there will inevitably be. Even if we continue to improve on the ancestral system, don’t we still have to hold the New Year’s Day ceremony? Alas, I really don’t want to be responsible for that long and boring process again.”

"Oh my, the New Year's Day ceremony is an important event for praying for the whole clan. How many clan members want to take charge but can't find the opportunity..." Uchiha Wenyu stood up, raised her eyebrows, and looked at Uchiha Qizhi with a smile, "If Senior Qi said this in the clan, I'm afraid he would be - um!"

It was Uchiha Qizhi who reached out and grabbed Uchiha Wenyu's head, pushing him back into the chair. After ruffling his neatly combed hair, he snorted, "Let them talk as much as they want. It would be even better if they can take my position. If it weren't for that old man Tiandao's identity, it would be difficult for me to do anything bad to him now. Do you think he could hide behind me for more than ten years?"

As he said that, Uchiha Qizhi couldn't help but hold down Uchiha Wenyu while complaining about how lazy Uchiha Tajima was. He complained to him privately many times that he regretted knocking someone down and snatching the position of clan leader.

As soon as these words came out, the Uchiha present all pricked up their ears and began to pretend to be dumb, fearing that they would interrupt Uchiha Keizhi's interest - about the complaints about the clan leader, is this something they can listen to for free? Oh, forget it! As long as it sounds good, it's over!

Madara subconsciously raised his hand to pinch the corner of Ling's clothes, his expression gradually became suspicious of life, [This is fake, this is fake, this is fake...right? Damn it, I don't want to hear it! Brother, why don't you stop it - why do you seem to be enjoying it! ]

While the Uchiha were listening to the clan leader's gossip with great interest, the departing Hagoromo also had their own conversations.

The first to explode was Hanazawa who had been silent all the way. This pretty-looking female ninja had a hateful expression on her face and gritted her teeth in her voice, "What on earth are the top brass thinking? Why did they have to choose the Uchiha as their ally? Those Uchiha have no intention of forming an alliance at all!"

"That's right, his temper is just terrible!" Yuyi Kui nodded vigorously, "Generally speaking, if you really want to form an alliance, the most important thing is information exchange, right? In the end, it's good enough that they just ignored me, but they acted like I owed them a million or eight hundred thousand!"

"I can't help it. After all, from a certain perspective, we are the ones who need their help. The passive party always has to suffer. But I am okay. Although I didn't complete the elders' mission, the intelligence I obtained is enough to get through..."

Yuyi Mobai put his hands behind his head, but his eyes shifted to Yuyi Anruo who was smiling helplessly beside him, "But is it okay for you? Don't tell me you really can't feel the true thoughts of those Uchiha."

Yuyi Anruo was stunned, her eyes drooped slightly, and the smile on her lips turned a little bitter, "I know, but what's the use of knowing? The arrogance of the Uchiha clan is no less than ours. I can't force them to form an alliance with us, right?"

"If you knew that, why are you still being so nice to them?" Yuyi Aoi looked disappointed, "That woman named Hai something is looking at you as if she were looking at her own child - if she has a child - if we fail this mission, we will at most be criticized, but you are different!

Even if you like to be kind to others, but this time it's your life at stake, you should at least think about yourself a little more, right? Okay, even if you can ignore yourself for the sake of justice, at least think about your relatives and friends who are worried about you? We are worried about you too."

Yuyi Anruo was stunned for a while, then she smiled, "I know, but I have always believed that every bit of kindness given will be rewarded, just sooner or later... and this is not the first time that I have been used as [nutrients] by the tribe, maybe I can survive this time?"

"Are you kidding us?" Hane Nata suddenly raised her voice, "Do you think you can survive the ceremony smoothly every time!"

"But that's the truth." Yu Yi An Ruo laughed, "And even if I die in the ceremony, it doesn't matter. You will live well with my share, right?"

"But if you're willing to fight, you don't have to participate in the ceremony as nutrients!" Hana's eyes turned red, "How many people have died just by being nutrients once, or they can no longer become ninjas! But what about you?!

You have survived two ceremonies! Do you understand what it means to be a ninja after two ceremonies? As long as you make a little concession, those old stubborn people will give you the good resources that others can't even ask for!"

"I know, but it's impossible..." Yu Yi An Ruo lowered her eyes and thought of the conversation she heard when she left during the day. "After all, no one has ever told me how to stay true to myself and not be a "good person". They were able to be stopped and not end up like me. They are really lucky."

A few people didn't understand Yu Yi An Ruo's riddle and wanted to persuade him again, but Yu Yi An Ruo smiled and dismissed them. When he was the only one left, Yu Yi An Ruo smiled again and said to himself in the oncoming breeze, "He is actually a good person, right?"
