Naruto: Uchiha Youngjo's Konoha Spring

Chapter 13 Someone comes late at night
After leaving Yamanaka Inoichi's flower shop, Uchiha Douhuan returned to the Uchiha clan's territory.

Uchiha Douhuan was not in a hurry to go home, but went to Uchiha Fugaku's mansion.

Uchiha Fugaku was a little surprised by Uchiha Dohuan's late night visit, but still invited Uchiha Dohuan into his home.

After Uchiha Mikoto served tea to the two of them, she left the living room.

Uchiha Fugaku looked at the young man who had forcefully taken away his position as clan leader. He had no complaints about Uchiha Dohuan's seizure of power. To be honest, he had been eager for someone to take over the mess of the Uchiha clan. Moreover, after Uchiha Dohuan came to power, he integrated the hearts of the people in the clan in the shortest time and suppressed the voices of armed rebellion within the clan. The skills displayed in this process were so impressive that even he had to sigh that it was a well done job.

"Dou Huan, the Security Department has posted the notice for recruiting civilian ninjas as you instructed. However, the civilian ninjas in the village may still have some concerns at the moment. Therefore, there are only a few ninjas who have signed up today, and they are all newly graduated Genin." Uchiha Fugaku said.

"A little work of catching thieves and managing the stall is enough for a Genin." Uchiha Douhuan said, "Besides, with the ninjutsu provided by the family, there is no shortage of people."

"It's good that you know this, but, Douhuan, I've already calculated it today. If we follow the standards you set yesterday, the family's funds can only last for three months at most, otherwise we'll have to sell off our ancestral property." Uchiha Fugaku said.

"I told you, don't worry about the money. I have already got the money, and someone will probably deliver it to us in a few days." Uchiha Douhuan said after drinking a cup of tea.

"Then why are you here tonight..." Uchiha Fugaku was a little confused. Uchiha Dohuan came so late, it couldn't be that he just came to ask for a cup of tea.

"I'm here because of Itachi." Uchiha Douhuan said.

"Itachi." Uchiha Fugaku sighed upon hearing this, "I've heard about what happened at the gate of the Shimura clan today. I was too hasty in sending him to the Anbu."

"It wasn't a bad thing for Elder Fugaku to send him to the Anbu," Uchiha Douhuan said. "However, it was truly hasty for Elder Fugaku to send him to the battlefield too soon."

"Do you think so?" Uchiha Fugaku looked at Uchiha Dohuan and pursed his lips.

"Itachi has been a precocious child, and you've exposed him to the dark side of the world too early. He loves to think, but when his knowledge can't support the depth of his thinking, it will only lead to disaster," Uchiha Douhuan said. "I once heard a wise man say, 'Learning without thinking is useless, thinking without learning is dangerous.' That's exactly the truth."

"After all, there's something wrong with my education." Uchiha Fugaku sighed, then turned to look at the closed door, "If you're here, come out."

The door to the living room was opened, and Uchiha Itachi walked in, still wearing his Anbu mission uniform.

"Father, clan leader." Uchiha Itachi saluted the two of them.

"There's no need to be so distant when you're not at work." Uchiha Douhuan waved his hand.

"Brother Douhuan." Uchiha Itachi nodded.

"You heard what your brother Douhuan said just now, right?" Uchiha Fugaku said at this time.

Uchiha Itachi lowered his head and remained silent.

Seeing this situation, Uchiha Fugaku could only sigh. As a father, he was indeed not very good at communicating with his children. Uchiha Itachi's values had already been formed, and it was no longer possible to just talk about it.

"Brother Douhuan, I have something I want to ask you." Uchiha Itachi took the initiative to break the silence.

"Tell me." "If one day, the family and the village have to go to war, what will you do?" Uchiha Itachi raised his head and looked into Uchiha Dohuan's eyes and asked.

"As long as I'm here, that day won't come." Uchiha Douhuan said.

"What if it really comes to that?" Uchiha Itachi asked.

"Itachi, step back." Uchiha Fugaku lowered his voice and said angrily.

Uchiha Douhuan smiled calmly: "The village sent me to the battlefield when I was nine years old. It was my family's bloodline that gave me the ability to survive."

"If that day really comes, I will do everything I can to stop you!" Uchiha Itachi stared at Uchiha Dohuan and said.

"Uchiha Itachi, you are too presumptuous." Although he had long guessed that Uchiha Itachi's position was no longer on the family's side, Uchiha Fugaku did not expect him to be so direct. At this time, even with Fugaku's temper, he could not help but get furious.

"It's okay." Uchiha Dohuan signaled Uchiha Fugaku to calm down, and then looked at Uchiha Itachi with a smile on his face.

"Itachi, you are a genius in your clan. I believe that in the future you will have the same eyes as me. However, you cannot stop the trend. Of course, you may not understand what the trend is. When you understand what the trend is, you will not be entangled in this problem."

Uchiha Douhuan smiled and stood up, saying to Fugaku: "Elder Fugaku, I will not bother you any further. I hope you will take care of the security department's affairs."

After saying that, Uchiha Douhuan stood up and said goodbye.

It was already early morning when Uchiha Douhuan returned to his little house.

The new clan leader's residence prepared for him by the clan is already being prepared, but during this period of time, Uchiha Douhuan still has to live in this little nest for a while.

Uchiha Douhuan lit the lamp and began to carefully maintain his ninja sword.

Logically speaking, although Uchiha Touhan is a senior ninja and is assigned to the security department and does not take on many tasks in the village, he should not live in this small house of less than 30 square meters. The chakra ninja sword named Thunder is the reason for all this. The sword is made entirely of chakra metal, and Uchiha Touhan has invested all his savings over the years in it.

"Since you are here, show yourself." Uchiha Douhuan, who was wiping his knife, suddenly looked up and said loudly.

No one responded.

"I don't know if you will die if I hit you with this sword, but you have to compensate me for the money for this house." Uchiha Douhuan smiled slightly, and the surface of the chakra ninja sword in his hand began to emit a trace of electric light.

A figure fell from the beam. The person had white messy hair, a mask and a forehead protector pulled down at an angle covering his left eye. It was Kakashi, who had just met Uchiha Douhuan in the morning.

"So it's Kakashi-senpai. I thought you would come to see me again after some time." Uchiha Douhuan smiled and sheathed his sword, "Sit down."

Uchiha Douhuan gestured for Kakashi to sit at the other end of the table, then set out a row of tea sets and boiled water.
