Naruto: Uchiha Youngjo's Konoha Spring

Chapter 27 Respect to the Sandaime-sama
"Speaking of which, inviting everyone to dinner is just the Uchiha clan leader's personal behavior. It will have no impact on the mission." Hinata Kenji also stood on Uchiha Douhuan's side at this time.

Gekko Hayate, Uzuki Yugao, and the two civilian ninjas did not speak because of the ninja clan behind them, but their behavior of standing beside Uchiha Dohuan was also a kind of silent support.

After just one night, they became the protagonists of American bullying.

And the person who started all this hasn't said a word until now.

After the storm, the group entered the town. Utaneju and Mitomon Hayabusa seemed to be angry with each other. After entering the city, they went straight to the low-end hotel that most ninjas on missions would choose without even saying hello.

Uchiha Douhuan, on the other hand, started a new round of dinner with everyone.

"By the way, are we really going to ignore them? What about the mission?" Kuroki Ryuyasu, one of the four senior ninjas on this mission, still had some concerns. He couldn't help asking after finishing a glass of wine at the table.

"Brother Kuroki, relax. It doesn't matter whether they come or not on this mission." Nagai Seiichi, the oldest among the group, knew everything. "That's Orochimaru, one of the legendary Three Ninjas. One more or one less jonin like us won't make a decisive difference. At the critical moment, it all depends on the Uchiha clan leader and Captain Kakashi. We just need to do our supporting work. Didn't you see that the Inuzuka and Hyuga have no objections?"

"Thank you for the generosity of Chief Dou Huan, which allows us to enjoy the delicacies from all over the Fire Nation in addition to our mission. I propose that we all toast to Chief Dou Huan." Nagai Seiichi raised his glass and said generously.

"Brother Seiichi, you can't say that. This is what I should do." Uchiha Douhuan also raised his glass. "When I was just a child in the ninja school, I was bathed in the glory of the Will of Fire sown by the Sandaime. Being able to solve your problems, isn't this the best embodiment of the Will of Fire? If you want to express gratitude, you should thank our Sandaime-sama and the Will of Fire!"

"Patriarch Douhuan is right. I am short-sighted," said Nagai Seiichi. "However, according to what Douhuan said, a ninja like you who has such a profound understanding of the Will of Fire is, in my opinion, the incarnation of the Sandaime-sama."

"Eh?" Uchiha Douhuan laughed, "What you said does make some sense. Actually, I am an incarnation."

"We all achieved success and earned merit in this mission. We must not forget the Sandaime Hokage and the Will of Fire."

"Everyone, cheers to the Third Hokage! Cheers to the will of fire!" Uchiha Dohuan said, raised his glass high, and drank the wine in the glass.

"Cheers to the Third Hokage! Cheers to the Will of Fire!" After Uchiha Dohuan finished speaking, besides him, the youngest members present, Gekko Hayate and Uzuki Yugao, also became a little excited and drank up the wine in their glasses.

Others also responded.

……

After three rounds of drinks, compared to yesterday, everyone who was already familiar with each other was more relaxed at the table. By this time, everyone's faces were a little drunk.

At this moment, Nagai Seiichi suddenly sighed.

"Why are you sighing, Brother Seiichi?" Uchiha Douhuan asked. "Sorry, Clan Leader Douhuan, I'm being rude. I'll drink three glasses of wine as punishment," Nagai Seiichi said. "When I drink, I can't help but think of my good-for-nothing son."

"Brother Seiichi, that's not true. You are the village's top ninja and the backbone of the village. I think your son should also be gifted." Uchiha Douhuan said.

"If that's really the case, that would be great." Nagai Seiichi sighed. "Although I became a jonin in the village by luck, all my ninjutsu were acquired through exchange in the village. Although the village won't hold it against jonin for teaching a few low-level ninjutsu to relatives or disciples, my son did inherit the chakra attributes of my late wife who died six years ago. I want to teach him, but I'm not strong enough. What if he graduates next year and can't be assigned a good instructor? What will I do then?"

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore." Nagai Seiichi waved his hand. "I've disturbed everyone's interest. I'll drink a glass as a punishment."

"Well, you can't say that. It's human nature to consider your own son. Your son must be very happy to have a father like you." Uchiha Douhuan said, and information about Nagai Seiichi also emerged in his mind.

Seiichi Nagai, ninja number: 009841, number of missions performed, 472 D-class, 617 C-class, 391 B-class, 122 A-class, 4 S-class, was promoted to Jonin during the Third Shinobi World War, and is good at water escape, but due to his limited talent, his strength is the weakest among Konoha's Jonin class, and as a commoner, he has no room for further improvement.

The most likely outcome for him is that he will die in a dangerous mission in the future, or he will retire on his own initiative.

However, it seems that this guy is not so content. After discovering that the Uchiha clan might have a big move recently, he realized the opportunity therein. Wanting to make progress very much, he wanted to take a gamble.

"Brother Seiichi, have you ever considered having your son join the Security Department? Although the Security Department has recently recruited a group of new members, I believe that after the new ninja students graduate next year, they will expand the recruitment again. If your son has this intention, I will ask Captain Fugaku to keep an eye on it."

Uchiha Douhuan naturally extended an olive branch. He was not really afraid that his subordinates had ambitions. As long as they were loyal to him, Uchiha Douhuan, what he could give was far more than the other party could imagine.

"Really?" Nagai Seiichi said in surprise, "Thank you very much, Uchiha clan leader! This glass of wine is in your honor!"

After Nagai Seiichi drank a glass of wine, Inuzuka Feng beside him said with a smile: "Brother Seiichi, you have found a good way for your son. The treatment of the Security Department is much better than that of ordinary ninjas. There are several kids in our clan who want to join the Security Department."

"Really? But why don't I see any children from the Inuzuka clan on the application list?" Uchiha Douhuan asked curiously.

"The elders in the clan simply didn't allow it," Inuzuka Feng said. "Our ancestors were with the Senju clan, and their relationship with you Uchiha isn't exactly good. Plus, most of your family's summoning beasts are ninja cats, so after those brats got a beating, the matter was dropped."

"However, our clan leader has considered selling a batch of our newly bred police dogs to the security department. After all, when it comes to chasing criminals, ninja dogs are always better than ninja cats, aren't they?"
