Naruto: Uchiha Youngjo's Konoha Spring

Chapter 146: Ministers of a Superior State Do Not Bow to the Ruler of a Lower State

"Naruto, come here." Uchiha Touma waved at Naruto, and Naruto obediently came to Uchiha Touma's side.

"What exactly happened?" Uchiha Douguang asked Naruto.

"Uh..." Naruto tried to organize his words. It was mainly because there was a big misunderstanding between him and his good brother tonight, which caused such a big trouble.

"Uncle Hokage, don't bother me. I did everything by myself!" Deidara suddenly said to Uchiha Tokou.

"Hey." Uchiha Douguang was also happy when he heard it, "You are quite loyal, huh."

"Enough!" Ohnoki's head was covered in veins, and crimson began to spread from his rosacea to his entire face. However, Uchiha Douguang was right in front of him, so he had to maintain the most basic etiquette. "Hokage, take your disciple back first. Don't let him wander around the village any longer. Otherwise, if he gets into trouble, it's something neither of us wants to see, don't you agree?"

"Of course," Uchiha Douguang did not provoke the old man who was already on the verge of red fever, and pulled Naruto to leave, "It is my fault for not disciplining him properly and causing trouble for the Tsuchikage. Naruto, apologize to the Tsuchikage."

"I'm sorry." After hearing this, Naruto bowed obediently to Ohnoki.

After Uchiha Tokou took Naruto away, he didn't go far before he heard a fierce quarrel coming from the Tsuchikage Building behind him. After a while, Deidara's powerful scream resounded through the night sky.

After hearing the scream, Naruto shrank his neck and looked at Uchiha Douguang cautiously, but when he saw that Uchiha Douguang didn't seem to intend to pursue the matter, he breathed a sigh of relief.

In the next few days, Naruto, knowing that he was in trouble, stayed quietly in the hotel until the Joint Chunin Exam officially began.

In the first three days of the survival test, although the two teams brought by Uchiha Douguang fought very hard, only two Uchiha clan members and one civilian member entered the final confrontation stage. Fortunately, in this test with an extremely high mortality rate, none of the six Genin brought by Uchiha Douguang died, but three of them were seriously injured. The injuries of these three people helped the two Uchiha clan Genin to open a pair of double-magatama Sharingan and a pair of single-magatama Sharingan respectively.

The situation at that time was that the two teams of Konoha were surrounded and attacked by the Iwagakure Genin teams in the examination hall. The situation was very critical as they were outnumbered.

However, in order to help Konoha preserve its manpower, the civilian ninjas of the guard team spontaneously began to fearlessly protect the Uchiha clan members in the team. After three people were seriously injured, the huge mental stimulation allowed two Uchiha clan members to complete their transformation, and they fought back to kill all those who were besieging them. This scene dumbfounded everyone who wanted to see Konoha humiliated.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Tokou, who was sitting in the VIP seat, looked calm. Ohnoki, who was standing beside him, said, "It seems we should congratulate the Hokage. The village has gained two more geniuses."

"They're both still far from that," Uchiha Tokou said calmly, "Shingetsu is okay, but Masato is still some distance away from the standard of a Chunin of our Uchiha clan. Besides, they're not considered geniuses in Konoha."

Ohnoki paused. How could he respond? You're such a genius in Konoha Village, aren't you?

Moreover, after the survival test was over, Uchiha Tokugawa commended the four civilian ninjas who fought hard in the test, while the two clansmen who completed the upgrade of the Sharingan were criticized by Uchiha Tokugawa.

"Why, do you think your victory was glorious?" Uchiha Douguang looked at the two Genin in the clan who had put on their ancestral sunny expressions due to the advancement of the Sharingan, and scolded, "Don't forget how you got your Sharingan!"

The two men who were originally complacent were scolded by Uchiha Douguang. They also thought of the scene on the battlefield where their teammates tried their best to help them resist the ninjutsu, and they could not help but lower their heads in shame.

It was not until Uchiha Douguang took Naruto and the other two away that several other civilian-born guard ninjas gathered around and said to Uchiha Xinyue and Uchiha Masato:
"Well, don't take it too seriously. Hokage-sama is strict with you for your own good." A civilian guard member comforted them.

"Yes, you two are more talented than us. Only if you enter the next round can you better protect the glory of the village." said a team member who still had a bandage on his head.

"If you really feel bad about it, then just play your best in the next round, and do your share as well."

The strength these civilian ninjas possessed was inseparable from the generous teachings of the Uchiha Clan instructors in the Guard. Therefore, they naturally showed great care for the two younger Uchiha Clan members. "Thank you, everyone," Uchiha Xinyue said, pursing her lips.

"What are you thanking me for?" A team member waved his hand. "Just play well in the next game."

"Yes!" Uchiha Masato nodded vigorously.

Ohnoki saw everything that happened in front of the training ground, and he could only sigh deeply.

He had learned a lot about the Uchiha clan's previous situation in Konoha Village through the spies he had planted in Konoha. However, with the rise of Uchiha Tokou, the spies were dug out and removed one by one, and Ohnoki didn't know much about the situation in Konoha anymore.

But what he didn't expect was that after such a short period of time, the Uchiha clan had already perfectly integrated into the village.

"The Fifth Hokage's methods are truly extraordinary." Ohnoki couldn't help but sigh.

……

Soon, the day of the final competition arrived.

On this day, not only the leaders of the ninja villages in the neighboring countries, but even daimyos from some countries rushed to the Iwagakure Village to watch this grand event.

As the only two Kage present, Uchiha Tokou and Ohnoki both changed into their respective formal attire and sat on the podium of the arena.

But at this time, a short-sighted person came to Uchiha Douguang.

The man had a fat face and looked bloated. Even the luxurious silk dress he wore could not hide his stupid temperament.

He came in front of Uchiha Douguang and asked, "Are you Uchiha Douguang? The Fifth Hokage of the Land of Fire?"

"Excuse me, who are you?" Uchiha Douguang frowned slightly. No one had dared to speak to him like this for a long time since he took office as the Prime Minister of the Land of Fire.

"Hmph, I'm the Daimyo of the Land of Grass. Why don't you greet me when you see me?" said the Daimyo of the Land of Grass. Some time ago, he received a reply from the Land of Fire. It must be said that Miura Kazuo's literary talent is indeed good. It was just a short essay of 400 words, which made him curse his mother in his bedroom for a whole day.

Coupled with the compensation and reconstruction price list sent by Kusagakure Village, this made him extremely angry.

Therefore, after the Daimyo of the Land of Grass heard that Uchiha Tokou would attend the joint Chunin Exam of the Iwagakure Village, he also came to join in the fun even though no ninja from his own country would participate, just to scold Uchiha Tokou to his face.

In his opinion, Uchiha Tokou was just a lowly ninja who did things for money. Even if he was the Kage of a big country, he could not be disrespectful to him. Didn’t you see that Ohnoki bowed to him when he saw him?
"Haha, who did I think it was? Turns out to be a fool who doesn't know his place." Uchiha Douguang said with a chuckle.

"You..." The Daimyo of the Land of Grass said angrily, "Didn't the Daimyo of the Land of Fire teach you the difference between respect and inferiority?"

"I only know one truth, that is, the ministers of the superior state do not bow to the ruler of the inferior state. You want me to pay my respects? Are you qualified?" Uchiha Douguang looked down at the other party with coldness in his eyes.
