Naruto: Starting with Tsunade

Chapter 370 You're a spy sent by the higher-ups, aren't you?

"Aokiji, why did you bring me here?"

Upon seeing the building in front of him bearing the Uchiha clan crest, Fugaku looked puzzled. This building was the police station.

Aokiji explained casually, "The most dangerous place is often the safest place, and that kind of work is the same."

Fugaku frowned slightly; there was some truth to what he said.

"Let's go."

Aokiji said something and started walking, with Fugaku following closely behind. The two entered the Konoha Police Department.

The officers' eyes lit up when they saw Fugaku and Aokiji return. Their expressions were eager as they rushed forward; after all, Aokiji was their benefactor…

Aokiji smiled slightly: "Did you like the local specialties from earlier?"

Everyone nodded, like chicks pecking at rice.

"That's good..." Aokiji continued, "I'll bring you some more another day."

There are even more...

The officers' mouths were trembling.

Who would have thought that their Lord Aokiji was actually a hidden super-rich tycoon?

They couldn't understand how Aokiji could be so rich, but who cares?

As long as I get paid, that's fine.

A police officer pulled out an apple from somewhere and enthusiastically handed it to him: "Lord Aokiji, it's hot, have some fruit to quench your thirst."

This behavior immediately provoked strong dissatisfaction from another police officer, B: "Hey, these are my fruit."

Officer A waved his hand dismissively and retorted, "It's just a piece of your fruit, what's the big deal? You're so stingy, I'll make it up to you later."

"roll……"

Officer B snatched the apple from Aokiji and handed it to him with both hands, saying warmly, "Lord Aokiji, have some fruit."

Everyone: ...

So this guy wants the apple so he can curry favor with Aokiji.

Fugaku was speechless.

When did my subordinates become so shameless?

Is this still the arrogant Uchiha?

Actually, it's not the fault of Uchiha A and B; it's mainly because Aokiji gave them just too much.

Aokiji politely declined, then waved away the enthusiastic crowd, led them into Fugaku's office, closed the door behind him, and said with a smile, "I'm really popular with my clansmen, aren't I?"

Fugaku was inwardly grumbling, thinking that anyone would be welcomed with his extravagant spending.

Aokiji found a stool, crossed his legs, and clasped his hands together in his knees: "Alright, enough joking around, let's find the spy."

Fugaku understood Aokiji's meaning: "The spy is right here, isn't he?"

"Putting myself in their shoes, if I were in a higher position, there would be no better place than here."

The blue pheasant's eyes turned blood red, and three tomoe appeared.

Upon seeing those eyes, Fugaku immediately understood Aokiji's intention: "You want to use your Sharingan to investigate everyone here, right?"

Aokiji smiled and shook his head: "No need for that."

Fugaku looked puzzled.

Aokiji said calmly, "We only need to check the logistics."

"logistics?"

"As long as I'm in the logistics department of the police department, I won't need to activate my Sharingan. This place is close to the center of the Uchiha clan, yet it won't attract attention. You could say this is the most suitable location for infiltration."

Aokiji stated confidently and logically, "However, it is precisely this perfection that is its flaw."

Fugaku was both impressed and ashamed. Aokiji had only been back in the village for a short time and had already made a breakthrough, while he had been completely oblivious for so many years.

Fugaku demonstrated his exceptional execution skills: "In that case, I will take immediate action."

"Don't rush, let me finish," Aokiji said calmly. "Although we've narrowed the scope to the Uchiha logistics, the number of people is still considerable, so we need to further narrow the scope."

"Can the scope be narrowed down further?"

The scope of the security force's logistics was already very small, and Fugaku never expected Aokiji to be even more precise. He looked at Aokiji as if he were looking at a monster.

Aokiji smiled calmly and asked, "Who's the least noticeable person in logistics?"

"The least noticeable?"

"Yes, it's best if they don't even have any relatives. That way, even if we replace this person, no one will suspect anything."

Aokiji gave more specific instructions.

Fugaku carefully matched the results in his mind.

Most Uchiha members who work in logistics are not particularly noticeable, but if you narrow it down to the point where they don't even have family, then the pool of potential candidates becomes very small.

"If we're going to go by that requirement, I do have someone in mind."

"who."

"Uchiha lower string."

"That's him." Aokiji's lips curled into a smile. "I'll use my Sharingan to erase his memory afterward."

Fugaku nodded and walked out the door.

A short while later, a young man was brought over. He had an ordinary appearance and was the kind of person who would not stand out in a crowd.

It was the Lower Moon Uchiha.

Aokiji looked at the Lower Moon, smiled, and said nothing.

This atmosphere put immense pressure on Lower Moon, who, after all, was a spy and felt guilty.

However, as a seasoned spy, he wouldn't give himself away for something like this, so he responded with a puzzled expression.

"Lord Aokiji, what did you call me here for?"

Aokiji smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. I called you here because I wanted to ask you something and get your opinion."

"What's wrong?"

Aokiji rested his chin on the back of his hand: "Are you interested in becoming a full-time employee?"

The lower moon's expression froze for a moment.

"I plan to make some changes to the Uchiha Police Force and involve more people."

I didn't quite understand what "lower string" meant.

Aokiji explained, "It's what's called the rotation system. Occasionally, you logistics staff will also participate. If you perform well, you can be promoted from logistics staff to full-fledged members of the Uchiha Guard."

Fugaku stood aside, listening to Aokiji's nonsense, wondering if he was testing him or just having a bad sense of humor.

The lower moon asked, "I see, but why do you want me?"

"I was just randomly asking someone."

Aokiji replied, "If you don't want to, then forget it."

Upon hearing this, Xia Xian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

So that's what happened. It startled him; he thought he'd been exposed.

Lower Moon's expression remained unchanged: "I'm sorry, Lord Aokiji, I'm not very interested in this kind of thing, and my strength is mediocre. If I were to take on this kind of job, it might damage the reputation of the Uchiha clan."

"Don't underestimate yourself; you're a member of the Uchiha clan."

Xia Xian looked apologetic and remained silent.

Aokiji said with some disappointment, "But if you insist, then so be it..."

"grateful……"

"Okay, then you can go now."

"Yes."

Xiaxian had only taken two steps when a voice came from behind: "Wait."

The Lower Moon froze, turning around somewhat guiltily, trying to remain calm: "Lord Aokiji, is there anything else?"

"Okay, when you go back, have the other logistics staff come over."

"I will." Xia Juan thought to himself that he had been overthinking things, but he replied outwardly, "If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

Aokiji nodded.

The waning moon turned around, but after taking only a few steps, the voice came from behind again:

"Oh, right, there's one more thing."

Bottom string:…

"Sorry, sorry, I'm getting old, my memory isn't so good anymore." Aokiji smiled. "I promise this is the last time."

Hearing Aokiji shamelessly pretend to be young, and looking at that childish face, Lower Moon really wanted to say a few words of criticism.

He dared not voice his opinion, and humbly looked at Aokiji, awaiting his next instructions.

Aokiji paused, his gaze scrutinizing: "Then I'll ask you this: you're a spy sent by higher-ups... right?"
