Uchiha Touhuan slowly brewed the tea.

Since he first killed someone on the battlefield at the age of nine, Uchiha Touhuan had been teetering on the edge of life and death for six years. Coupled with the numerous life-and-death separations with his teammates and comrades, Uchiha Touhuan possessed the ultimate power of his clan, the Mangekyou Sharingan. However, Uchiha Touhuan could also clearly feel that his mental state was becoming somewhat deranged under the wave after wave of torment.

That makes sense. After all, he has kaleidoscopes; it would be a disservice to his eyes not to go crazy.

To stabilize his mental state, Uchiha Tohkan took some time after the war to learn a little about tea ceremony.

For no other reason than to keep my mental state stable.

Uchiha Touhuan's small residence fell completely silent, with only the occasional clinking of teaware.

Kakashi clearly didn't have the patience for that. Seeing that Uchiha Touhuan hadn't responded for a while, he went straight to the point and asked, "What was the meaning of that record you showed me today?"

Boiling water poured over the tea, releasing a fragrant aroma. Uchiha Touhuan glanced at Kakashi, handed him a cup of hot tea, and then asked a question.

"Have you visited Grandma Miori?"

Kakashi stared intently at Uchiha Touhuan with the eye that was outside, then nodded. "Yes."

"Remember to come often in the future. It's not easy for the old man. Although the clan provides a lot of compensation, he must be quite lonely all by himself."

"Could you tell me what exactly was written in that record?"

"As for those family members who have some complaints about you, I will remind them. As the clan leader, I still have that much face to save."

"Uchiha Touhuan!" Kakashi was getting a little impatient with Uchiha Touhuan's evasive answer.

"Look at you, in such a hurry." Uchiha Touhuan suddenly laughed, then looked at the cup of tea in front of Kakashi.

After saying that, Uchiha Touhuan turned around, picked up the kettle, and put it back on the stove. Kakashi took the opportunity to quickly pull down his mask, drink the tea in one gulp, and then put the mask back on.

"You..." Uchiha Touhuan turned around and saw Kakashi's face contorting from the scalding hot tea. He was speechless and could only shake his head.

"The report is exactly as you see it. We haven't even started investigating the specifics yet," Uchiha Touhuan said formally after finishing his tea in one gulp.

"I wasn't even born when that incident happened, but I've heard about it within the clan over the years," Uchiha Touhuan said. "If what the elders in the clan said is true, then White Fang was indeed a great ninja, and he shouldn't have ended up like this."

"Really?" Kakashi was somewhat incredulous. You see, although his father's name had almost disappeared from Konoha's history over the years, there were still some older generations who might mention him, and their opinions of White Fang back then were not very good.

"I don't know what others think, but the Uchiha clan truly holds the great respect for their predecessor, White Fang," Uchiha Touhuan said. "You know, no one cares more about their comrades than the Uchiha."

"Thank you." Kakashi had calmed down by then. He couldn't help but express his gratitude after hearing someone give such high praise to his father. At the same time, Uchiha Touhuan's words reminded him of his former teammate who was always a loser.

"However, judging from what I've obtained today, the death of Sakumo-senpai back then doesn't seem to be so simple." Uchiha Touhuan put down his teacup, sighed, and said, "At the very least, Danzo was involved and did some shady things."

"Whether or not to investigate this matter is still quite controversial within the clan. After all, as you know, the events of that year involved too many people. According to the elders in the clan, there was a strong opinion that Senior White Fang should become the fourth generation."

Kakashi frowned, seemingly not quite understanding what Uchiha Touhuan meant.

Uchiha Tohkan was also helpless about this. For these ninjas who had been taught from childhood how to kill efficiently, getting involved in politics was indeed a bit too much of a stretch.

However, Uchiha Touhuan had no choice, as Kakashi's political resources were the most scarce resource in the Uchiha clan.

Why did Hiruzen Sarutobi keep Kakashi in the Anbu for the past six years? Kakashi himself probably didn't know the true value of being the Fourth Hokage's only surviving disciple. Although Minato Namikaze died young before he could truly build his own team, many people in the village still missed the Yellow Flash. At the same time, although his direct Kageshield had gradually become marginalized after his death, it was still a force to be reckoned with in Konoha.

That is why Uchiha Touhuan meticulously set up this scheme to get close to Kakashi.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Touhuan could only shake his head. "Never mind, I will continue to investigate this matter."

"Thank you." Although he didn't quite understand why, Kakashi could tell that Uchiha Touhuan seemed to have made a very difficult decision.

"You don't need to thank me. I did all this simply because I felt that heroes shouldn't end up like this," Uchiha Touhuan said. "If you really want to thank me, then come and spend more time with Grandma Miori."

"I understand," Kakashi said solemnly.

After saying that, Kakashi walked to the window, preparing to leave before dawn.

"Oh, right." Uchiha Touhuan suddenly spoke up, calling out to Kakashi.

Kakashi turned around, his single eye filled with confusion.

"Come to the Security Department in a couple of days and take that guy who uses Wood Release away. The Security Department has already interrogated him enough. After all, he's the only Wood Release ninja in the village besides the First Hokage. It's a problem for him to stay in the Security Department," said Uchiha Touhuan.

Kakashi nodded, jumped out of the window, and disappeared into the night in a few flashes.

After Kakashi left, Uchiha Touhuan also came to the window, his eyes gleaming.

After clearing White Fang's name, Kakashi, with the double buff of being the son of a hero and the disciple of the Hokage, will inevitably become the focus of the entire village. At that time, no matter what others think, the Uchiha clan, who helped him clear his father's name, will be his most steadfast ally. And that time will also be the moment when the Uchiha clan officially steps into the limelight.
