[Naruto] The big battle to transform the image of the patriarch

Mana enthusiastically invited her friends to participate in the great cause of investigating public opinion, but she was ruthlessly rejected.

"I haven't finished my task today." Quan Nai said righteously.

Mana turned pale with shock: "Quina, although helping others is a good thing, but you don't have to take it as your full-time job...?"

Quan Nai almost wanted to bury her with the things in his hands.

"What are you talking about?" he sighed with a headache. "You yourself just said that the daimyo of the Fire Nation is coming to visit. I still have a lot of things to be responsible for."

"Oh yes, that's right." Mana recalled today's schedule, and said embarrassedly, "It is true that all the young talents in the village will be dragged to support the facade today!"

"You still remember, isn't this what you arranged!" Quan Nai pointed out sharply, "You should go there with me, what kind of public opinion survey is it okay?! Wait, speaking of public opinion..."

Quanna had a flash of inspiration.

Mana has been emphasizing public opinion, public opinion, could it be...

"Does that "Starlight Online" have something to do with you, Mana?!" Quanna didn't even care about the flowers, dragged Mana to the corner, and skillfully ignored the sad, angry and disappointed "ah" of the girls around her. Voice.

"Huh?" Mana opened her eyes wide, looking as innocent as possible, "Isn't that the Entertainment Weekly that everyone established out of boredom?"

Senna looked at her suspiciously.

"I'm almost annoyed to death by those two hosts..." He observed his little friend's expression, and said hesitantly, "Didn't you really set it up?"

"Of course not!" Mana denied, "It's just a product of everyone's self-entertainment. And isn't their first episode about Senshou? If it were me, of course the first episode would be about our own patriarch Your Excellency!"

"That's true." Quan Nai immediately believed Mana's words - she would never lie about Madara, but the next moment he suddenly realized, "No, how do you know what they talked about in the first issue? Recently you are not Are you not in the village?"

Mana: "..."

#Little partner is suddenly not easy to fool#

"So, even if it wasn't established by you, it has something to do with you, Mana!" Quan Nai was furious, "I said why the focus suddenly became me! Do you know how many people watched me after they reported it? Do you know how many more people ask me for help every day, you know..."

Mana raised her hands high to express her surrender: "I'm sorry, I was wrong! I just revealed some inside information to them! It's because everyone is very interested in you that it became like this! This shows that you are very popular, Quanna..."

"You still quibble?!"

"Yes, yes, it's all my fault! I'm sorry, Senna-sama! Please, Quanna-sama, please forgive me!"

"They are not allowed to report in the future!"

Mana was a little embarrassed: "But... everyone likes them very much? Besides, their reports are also positive, and they are also of great benefit to the image management of the Uchiha clan. Considering that the leader should be elected soon... "

She carefully watched Quanna's expression change.Sure enough, the last sentence made Quan Nai's resolute look loose.

"You mean," he lowered his voice, "brother...?"

"...Well." After hesitating again and again, Mana still nodded and admitted, "Originally, most people's impression of the high-level people got it through word of mouth, didn't they get the prejudice against the Uchiha clan in the same way..."

Having said that, Mana is actually a bit guilty-if she is a pure Uchiha, she can confidently assert that the negative comments on Uchiha are all rumors; ".Objectively speaking, at least the two evaluations of "fierce personality, love to go to extremes" and "arrogant" cannot really be called slander.

Just looking at history, Uchiha was able to invent such a heaven-defying pupil technique as "Izanaki" by virtue of his dissatisfaction with failure, and he was able to get a glimpse of the extreme self-esteem that Uchiha inherited in his blood.

But this kind of consideration can only be turned around in her own heart at most, and it is absolutely impossible to admit it positively.

Therefore, she only paused for a moment, and then continued: "In short, now that everyone has eliminated prejudice a little bit with their own observations, I feel very happy!"

"..."

"What's more," Mana smiled cutely with curved eyes, "Is Quanna's contribution to such a result? So, for the benefit of our patriarch and the whole clan, Quanna still Can you bear it a little longer? Besides, it is because everyone really likes you that they pay so much attention to you—from this perspective, this is more or less a 'sweet burden', right?"

She reached out and patted the young man's shoulder with sincere eyes.

Quanna was finally completely convinced.

"Okay, okay," but of course he would not fully express this emotion, but still said a little awkwardly, "Since you have said so, then so be it."

"Thank you, Senna-sama." Mana even saluted.

"Cough...it's actually okay..."

"Then, if you are busy first, I will leave temporarily. See you Quanna in the afternoon!" Mana said goodbye, stopped, turned and left in one go.

Quan Nai stood on the side of the street, holding the flowers and blinked, then blinked again.

... Am I being fooled by my friends again?

With the help of the shadows of houses and trees, Mana sneaked around the village, observing carefully, thinking about who to use as a cover for the investigation this time.

In fact, Mana knows that the people in the village have a good impression of the Uchiha clan, and even many Senju ninjas have changed their attitude towards them; Random interviews, she must have heard nothing but good things.Therefore, although I feel a little sorry in my heart, for the benefit of the elders of my family, I have to wrong the person she picked.

It doesn't hurt anyway...

Mana thought absently, then shrugged her shoulders at her declining moral standards over the years.

Yoshi, it's up to you, boy!

Just when Mana saw the target and was about to strike, a voice came from above her head.Although it was small, it sounded like thunder in her ears.

"Are you going to repeat the old trick again, Mana Uchiha?"

This voice was extremely cold, and the ice-like dissatisfaction mixed with it was also extremely thick.

The moment she heard the voice, Mana recognized its owner, and immediately realized that her plan for today would never be completed anyway; moreover, she might still have a big problem.

perhaps.

"Ah," she calmly withdrew the thousand books between her fingers, and her facial expression was adjusted to be calm and composed at the first moment, "It's not that I haven't seen you for a few days..."

She stood up straight, looked up to the place where the sound came from - the tree trunk above, showed a polite but equally indifferent smile, and said, "...A Thousand Hands."

The visitor looked at her condescendingly.This young man with silver hair, slender eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and red scars on his face is Qianshou Feijian.

He used the word "again", meaning he knew about the last investigation?How much does he know?once, or all?What is his guess about it?Why did he choose to expose her now instead of on the spot after she started investigating - so as to deal a direct blow to Uchiha's image?

In the blink of an eye, countless questions flashed through Mana's mind, and she made countless speculations one by one.But she didn't show the slightest wave on her face.

"I don't know what advice you have?" She didn't respond to Toijian's question—or it was sarcasm, but just made a puzzled look.

Fei Jian looked at her, his eyes were still so vigilant and indifferent, like a beast dealing with an evenly matched enemy.

Come on, tell me how much you know.Mana said in her heart.

Tobima did not maintain his condescending position - he probably knew that the psychological pressure caused by this would be useless to the person in front of him, so he chose to jump down and continue talking with Mana face to face.

The location where Mana is located is behind an unfinished building. Although it is not far from the street, the surrounding sight is subtly obscured by obstacles, and it is easy to ignore it from other locations—except above.

"Hua, Hanako, Awu," Fei Jian opened his mouth to reveal three names, "Who will you be this time? Taro, Yuko, or someone else?"

Beneath his stern expression was a thick layer of guard and sarcasm.

"It turns out that Qianshouban can also sarcasm people. I thought you always speak straight and don't like our twists and turns." Mana spread her hands and said meaningless sarcasm, thinking about what to do. Cope with the situation at hand.

A bold idea slowly emerged in her mind.

"Madara and Izumi don't have such scheming as you." Tomona's sharp eyes almost turned into two knives and stabbed at her, "Answer my question, Uchiha Mana, what are you planning?"

"I really don't know if you're praising them or belittling them when you say this, Tokaima." Mana suddenly changed her way of speaking—the ending sound rose, and the title became intimate, and said, "Since you If you see it, of course you will know that I didn't do anything, right?"

Her gaze was fixed on the face of the silver-haired young man, not wanting to miss any of his emotional fluctuations.

"Yes," Fei Jian admitted readily and unexpectedly, "I really didn't find any actions you did that were not good for the Thousand Hands or the village, otherwise I would have exposed you long ago."

"But you choose to stop me now." Mana followed closely.

"Otherwise, do you want to hurt those innocent people again?" Tobuma said coldly.

He said "hurt"?

Mana narrowed her eyes.

"No? What I do will never cause any harm to them, I can guarantee that; even if you make me swear on Uchiha's name, I can do it." She said.

So, under the premise that Tobuma thought her actions would hurt ordinary people, did she still choose to observe what she wanted to do?Although maybe it was also because he judged that she would not endanger other people's lives, but, as expected——

Qian Shou Feijian is definitely a man who will not hesitate to sacrifice the individual for the benefit of the whole.

Tokama just looked at her coldly.

"Answer my question," he said, "Uchiha Mana."

"Why?" Mana was not moved by his threatening appearance at all, and still maintained her own rhythm, "Guess what?"

The silver-haired young man's dislike for her was overflowing, and Mana had no doubts that he wanted to kill her - as long as he had the chance.On this point, they have a very good tacit understanding: they both have killing intent towards each other.

"Hmph," Tomona seemed to really hate detours, and said bluntly, "Investigate public opinion, Mana? Since then, you have planned the situation Uchiha is facing today."

"It's really high on me to say 'planning'," Mana replied, "At that time, I just wanted to know the reputation of the Uchiha clan."

Tobuma didn't refute her.Maybe it is in favor, or it may be that it is not important.Anyway, he continued: "The biggest difference between you and Quan Nai and the others is that you are very aware of the character flaws of your Uchiha clan." He said, "You admit this, so you should do everything possible to avoid this kind of flaw. It's not good to come."

Mana listened quietly.

"To achieve this result, the most fundamental thing is to remove this defect directly from your family." Speaking of this, Tomona's eyes showed disdain, "But if this kind of thing really happened, Uchiha would not be That Uchiha who has Sharingan. Huh, there are a few people who know this - your biggest character flaw is the source of your strongest strength. Extreme love turns into extreme hate, opened under strong stimulation Sharingan writing..."

Sure enough, I hate this person, Qianshou Feijian.Mana thought blankly.

"So you choose to manipulate public opinion. First of all, it is strictly forbidden for the Uchiha clan to conflict with others at work, and it is deliberately set up so that they have to help ordinary people; then, Quanna is promoted as the representative of the Uchiha clan, and the village will be killed while the iron is hot. The Uchiha clan has set their tone as ninjas who are 'cold on the outside and hot on the inside', so that even if people find it difficult to get along with Uchiha in the future, they will treat you with a particularly tolerant attitude. But your most important and ultimate goal..."

There was a cold gleam in his red eyes.

"... I am afraid that all the positive comments received by the Uchiha clan will be fed back to Uchiha Madara, so as to help him become Hokage? I was surprised when I heard that your hairstyles are so insignificant; now It seems that these are preparations for today's appearance and future elections, right?"

His eyes were also stuck on Mana's face like a nail, rummaging through her reaction.

Mana still looked composed, but her back was drenched in cold sweat; to make matters worse, both of them knew she couldn't be indifferent right now.

Since it's useless to put on a show, why don't you just show weakness?Mana weighed it in her heart, and then denied this option.

No, although the accuracy of Token's vision really surprised her, she didn't intend to hide this plan at first—nor can she hide it. Generous and beautiful, people can't do anything even if they guess it.

Having figured this out, Mana immediately calmed down, and erased the tension caused by being exposed just now.Of course, this slight change in expression fell into Feijian's eyes, but unfortunately, he was still a warrior at heart after all, so he couldn't immediately understand the meaning behind her relaxation at the moment.

Moreover, Tobuma didn't actually guess everything.At least for Mana's future plan, he couldn't guess it.

Don't you think that's all I have in mind, Togama?Such a slightly smug thought flashed through Mana's mind, but was immediately suppressed by reason.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, next...
