Konoha: Uchiha, I get stronger by causing trouble.

Chapter 16 Goji Berries for Treating Weakness

In the evening, Chiga bid farewell to Obito and Rin and returned to her home.

Because she had made a promise with Fugaku Uchiha, Chika did not go to train as usual.

Taking advantage of her boredom, Chiga looked at the gift she was going to give to Kakashi.

As the person giving the gift, how can you know if the recipient will be satisfied just by looking at the cover? You have to see it for yourself to be sure.

With this in mind, Chiga opened the book.

Time flies, and while Chiga was studying foreign languages, there was a knock on the door.

Chiga was startled and quickly repackaged the books before getting up to open the door.

The person standing at the entrance is Uchiha Fugaku.

Leading Uchiha Fugaku into the living room, Chiga said, "Young clan leader, please have a seat. I'll make you some tea."

"Yes, thank you for your trouble."

After taking his seat, Fugaku Uchiha let out a long sigh of relief. It seemed that today's gathering had not gone as well as he had hoped.

Upon seeing this, Chiga couldn't help but sigh: How could such a healthy young man be so exhausted?

During the day, she had to work hard for her family, and at night she would talk about her life ideals with her beautiful Aunt Meiqin.

Even a person made of iron couldn't stand it.

Chiho couldn't bear it. "Young clan leader, let me make you some goji berries instead. We happen to have some at home."

Fugaku Uchiha frowned and asked, "Why are you soaking goji berries?"

"Nourishes the kidneys and replenishes deficiencies!"

Chiga's expression, seemingly concerned for Fugaku Uchiha's health, left Fugaku Uchiha speechless.

"Need not!"

Fugaku Uchiha replied stiffly, his face dark, then added, "I'm perfectly healthy; I don't need these kinds of supplements!"

No man will admit to being weak, not even in front of children.

[Negative emotions from Uchiha Fugaku: Emotional value +10. First time gaining Uchiha Fugaku's emotional value. Reward: 600 Genjutsu experience!]

Chiga's body trembled. As expected of Uchiha Fugaku, the reward he gave was truly amazing.

The rewards given by Uchiha Shisui, Sarutobi Asuma, and others were only a few dozen points.

Considering the difference in strength between Fugaku Uchiha and them, Chiga suspected that the reward was calculated based on strength.

After brewing the tea, Chika poured a cup for herself and Fugaku Uchiha, then sat down opposite Fugaku Uchiha and quietly waited for him to speak.

Fugaku Uchiha looked slightly surprised when Chiga didn't rush to ask him why he had come.

Hmm, so mature for his age, he's a promising talent.

They know quite a lot, including that goji berries can treat weakness!

Truly worthy of being a member of the Uchiha clan!

Fugaku Uchiha took a sip of tea to moisten his throat before saying, "Chika, have you ever thought about graduating early?"

Upon hearing this, Qianhe's expression turned strange. "Young Clan Leader, isn't it a bit late to apply for early graduation now?"

"It's not because of Kakashi Hatake."

Seeing that Chiga had misunderstood, Fugaku Uchiha shook his head and said, "You must have heard about the slight discord between the clan and the village, right?"

Chiga nodded.

Fugaku Uchiha said meaningfully, "In that case, you should understand that my clan needs supporters within the Konoha leadership!"

"So, which ninja does the young clan leader want me to form a bond with?"

Chiga already understood why Uchiha Fugaku had come to him to discuss this matter.

The Third Hokage's governing team consisted entirely of the Second Hokage's bodyguards.

Influenced by the Second Hokage, everyone was prejudiced against the Uchiha clan.

Within the upper echelons of Konoha, the Uchiha clan has faced increasingly severe targeting.

War has broken out, and it's time for all the clans to unite against the common enemy and send the Uchiha clan to the battlefield.

Now that peace has been restored, it's time for all the clans to unite and cause trouble for the Uchiha clan.

Basically, that's how they isolated and marginalized the Uchiha clan.

There is virtually no chance of changing the attitude of Konoha's higher-ups.

Perhaps if Uchiha Kagami, who was also a bodyguard of the Second Hokage, were alive, there would still be some hope if he were the link.

Unfortunately, this guy died young.

This death also completely severed the ties between the Uchiha clan and the current Konoha leadership.

Since the current ruling team is incompetent, we should wait for a change of leadership.

Clearly, this was Fugaku Uchiha's plan.

Seeing that Chiga was so cooperative, Fugaku Uchiha nodded in satisfaction and said directly, "Minato Namikaze!"

Minato Namikaze!

He was a very gentle and humble person, and he had no prejudice against the Uchiha clan. He was also a disciple of Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin. As long as he didn't die, he would definitely be able to occupy a high position in the village.

Establishing a relationship with such a ninja would be beneficial and harmless to the Uchiha clan.

Moreover, he has a good relationship with Minato Namikaze, and more importantly, his girlfriend and Minato's girlfriend are best friends.

As if afraid that Chiga might not know who Minato Namikaze was, Fugaku Uchiha continued.

"Although Minato has only been a Jonin for a short time, he is very strong and is also a very good instructor Jonin. Kakashi Hatake was able to become a Chunin so quickly because of his guidance."

At this moment, Chiga couldn't help but admire Uchiha Fugaku.

Minato Namikaze shone brightly during the Third Shinobi World War. Right now, he's just a Jonin with potential, and he might not even have mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique yet.

Compared to his strength, he is not as respected as the fact that he is Jiraiya's disciple among the Legendary Sannin.

It seems that Fugaku Uchiha had some foresight to believe that Minato Namikaze would become a high-ranking official at this time.

Seeing Chiga remain silent, Fugaku Uchiha spoke earnestly again:

"Chika, with your talent, staying at the Ninja Academy is a waste of time. Besides, you're already seven years old. It's time for you to contribute to the clan. Graduate early from the Ninja Academy, join Minato's team, and build a bond with Minato Namikaze and Kakashi Hatake. That's the mission I'm giving you!"

Upon hearing the word "mission," Chiga's expression turned serious.

This is the first time the family has ever given him a task!

We must take this seriously!

Chika sat upright and said in a deep voice, "Young clan leader, serving the clan is my duty as a member of the Uchiha clan!"

Seeing Chiga's attitude, Fugaku Uchiha nodded with great satisfaction, "Very good, in that case..."

"Young clan leader, if the goal is to build unbreakable bonds with others, simply becoming a teammate isn't enough!"

Before Fugaku Uchiha could finish speaking, Chiga interrupted him.

"What do you mean?" Fugaku Uchiha was slightly taken aback before asking.

"Now that we're teammates, shouldn't we exchange gifts upon our first meeting?"

"Besides giving gifts when you first meet, do you also treat people to meals to strengthen the relationship?"

"Furthermore, I also heard that Minato-senpai has a girlfriend. As the saying goes, when giving a gift, you should give the whole gift. Since we've already given a gift to Minato-senpai, we can't forget his girlfriend."

"Otherwise, a woman's whispers could ruin our entire plan, and also..."

"."

Is this guy asking me for mission funding?
