Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 37 Uchiha Kagami's Experiences

It's normal that the Uchiha clan could discuss things for eight days, every day and every night, but they still couldn't come to a conclusion.

After all, the opposition is currently in the lead within their tribe.

Simply put, Tobirama has chilled the hearts of the Uchiha people over the past ten years since he took power, and they simply cannot believe that Tobirama Senju would allow the Uchiha clan to receive so many benefits.

Even though Uchiha Kagami repeatedly assured them, and was very happy after learning about Yua's plan, that the Uchiha clan would definitely complete it beautifully.

But it was no use. Despite being highly regarded by Tobirama Senju, many within the Uchiha clan considered Kagami a coward and a traitor.

He has a voice, but only within the moderate faction.

Yes, the Uchiha clan no longer has any Konoha supporters who are wholeheartedly devoted to Konoha.

Only radicals who act aggressively and feel that Konoha should give them more power.

There are also moderates who believe that extreme actions should be avoided and that everything should be negotiated slowly and patiently.

Radicals didn't believe Tobirama Senju would be so kind, while moderates, though equally skeptical, felt that if the project succeeded, there would be many benefits, and if it failed, they would only lose some materials and resources, and could even completely despair of the Hokage—it wasn't entirely out of the question.

Only Kagami Uchiha believed that Tobirama Senju and Yua wouldn't betray the Uchiha clan.

However, most of the Uchiha did not believe his idea.

Uchiha Kagami was disappointed, and could only watch from the sidelines as the internal discussions within his clan were heated, but without any substantial progress.

Uchiha Kagami wanted to go out for a walk to clear his mind. He took his wife and their child, who was less than a year old, and walked on the streets of Konoha. He chatted and laughed with his wife, Masako, and felt much more relaxed.

As Masako carried Uchiha Kagami's daughter, Uchiha Shizuka, along the streets of Konoha, she whispered to Uchiha Kagami, "I used to wish you could spend more time with me. Now that you're back, you're so busy doing things for the clan. There's been a lot of talk about you in the clan lately. I know what kind of person you are, but those uncles and aunts don't. So I think you can put aside the clan's gossip for a while and rest more. Didn't the Hokage give you a month's leave?"

Masako Uchiha blushed slightly and whispered to Kagami Uchiha, "I also hope you can come with me to the shopping district..."

Although Uchiha Kagami and Uchiha Masako are already married and have children, it is normal in the Uchiha clan, or rather, in most ninja clans, to get married and have children before falling in love.

The continuation of the family line is the top priority; romance and such can be considered after marriage and having children.

Uchiha Kagami readily agreed.

He's been having some worries lately, so this is a good time for him to relax.

So, Uchiha Kagami and Uchiha Masako walked from their clan home toward the shopping street.

Seeing the bustling streets along the way, a stark contrast to the desolation of the daytime, Uchiha Kagami chuckled, "There are very few people here during the day, but it gets so lively at night."

Masako Uchiha smiled gently and said, "Yes, everyone has to work during the day, and we Uchiha people also have to work during the day."

Uchiha Kagami nodded, and after taking a few steps, he smelled a fragrance.

"That smell... is it grilled meat skewers?" Uchiha Kagami looked over there, noticing a puzzled look on the child behind the grilled meat skewer stall. "And that's... hand-baked meat? Doesn't his family run a pancake shop?"

Masako Uchiha lowered her head and chuckled softly.

Uchiha Kagami laughed too: "Alright, stop teasing me. You know I haven't been back for the past year, and since I came back, I haven't come out again. How could I know everything?"

Uchiha Masako nodded: "Tekiyaki's family did originally run a pancake shop, but now everyone has money. Pancakes used to be cheap and filling, but that's no longer the case. Pancakes only have the advantages of being cheap and filling, but they're not as delicious as meat skewers."

"Besides, during the urban redevelopment, each household had a one-meter space in front of their door to place some items or set up a small stall. This place, Hand-Style Barbecue, set up a barbecue stall, and it's pretty good! Want to try it?"

Uchiha Kagami readily agreed.

After walking over, the brat Uchiha Tessho, barely suppressing his drool, asked Uchiha Kagami, "Brother Kagami! Do you... do you want a skewer?"

Uchiha Kagami nodded: "Two skewers, please."

Uchiha Tesshin nodded and deftly handed two skewers of grilled meat to Uchiha Kagami.

"How much?"

"Two strings for one hundred taels."

Uchiha Kagami took out two coins and handed them over. Uchiha Tessho then turned and shouted into the house, "Mom! I sold two skewers! Can I eat one myself?!"

Then came shouts from inside: "Still eating?! You ate all the goods we brought in! Stop eating!!"

An older woman rushed out, holding slippers in her hand. However, upon seeing Uchiha Kagami, her face immediately lit up with a smile. She then put the slippers behind her and said, "It's Kagami! You're back? When did you get back?"

"You little rascal, hurry up and grill a few more skewers for your brother Jing! No money allowed!"

Uchiha Kagami quickly waved his hand: "No, no, I just got back a couple of days ago. Aunt Ryoko, why don't you and Uncle live in the Uchiha clan's territory?"

Are you planning to move to Dongcheng District?

Uchiha Ryoko waved her chubby hand: "Ugh, don't even mention it. I couldn't stand the atmosphere in the Uchiha clan compound. It was always so bitter and resentful. After I moved out here, I eat well and sleep well. I'm a bit tired, but no one comes to my house every day to tell me what they're against."

"Hey, I'm only telling this to Xiaojing, you can't tell anyone else."

Uchiha Kagami nodded with a forced expression, then asked, "Are you alright outside or here? Is there anything I can help you with?"

Uchiha Ryoko's chubby face immediately perked up: "Yes! Absolutely! Could you talk to the security personnel and tell them to stop coming in and out every few days? Although this is the entrance street to the clan's territory, it's also Konoha's eastern district. Those security personnel fly over and over from the rooftops every day, making it impossible to do business!"

Uchiha Kagami remained silent.

Seeing Uchiha Kagami's expression, Ryoko quickly said, "It's not that we have to not come, it's just that if we come less often, it'll be easier for us to do business."

Uchiha Kagami composed himself, nodded, and then assured them, "I will definitely mention it to them."

Aunt Ryoko was immediately delighted and insisted on giving away a few skewers of grilled meat, but Uchiha Kagami asked for two sesame seed cakes, one for himself and one for Yako.

Before leaving, Uchiha Kagami asked Aunt Ryoko, "Are there many people in the Uchiha clan like you, Aunt Ryoko, who live away from home?"

Aunt Ryoko immediately smiled and nodded: "A lot, a lot! Of course there's a lot. Basically, everything that could be moved out has been moved out."

Those factories are hiring every day! My husband lives at the factory five days a week, eating and sleeping there, and he earns two thousand taels a week—that's a lot! If their factory didn't refuse to hire female workers, I would definitely apply myself.

Uchiha Kagami asked疑惑地问道, "Does this have anything to do with you moving out, Aunt Ryoko?"

Aunt Ryoko immediately waved her hand with a look of disgust: "How can it be okay? Kagami, think about it carefully. I earned all this money through hard work. If I still live on Uchiha territory, how much money will be taken from me every month?"

Uchiha Kagami was suddenly stunned, then a flash of lightning struck his mind, and he finally realized what was wrong...

The boy named Yua who was next to Tobirama Senju...

Perhaps it wasn't like Tobirama Senju, who openly targeted the Uchiha clan, but...

That guy is digging up the Uchiha's roots!

Or rather... he's uprooting the roots of all the Konoha ninja clans...
