Passing through the clan street, the Great Elder's Mansion is located in a quiet place very close to the center of the settlement.

Stepping through the gate, the unique tranquility is like cold water, and it immediately dips into Makoto's body.

"Early."

Makoto wrapped his trench coat tighter, smiled and said hello to the guard at the door, and walked inside.

"Cheng Sangzao."

On duty, the two members of the Konoha garrison at the door were as expressionless as stones, but at this time, they all bowed back to Makoto slightly.

The weather has entered autumn, a withered and withered courtyard, but clean and spotless, only occasionally can you see a few freshly landed leaves, lying alone on the gray and white ground.

Makoto stepped into the courtyard, sensing carefully.

1.2...... Seven, no, it's eight.

Makoto swept the corner of his eye over the location of the next dark pile, and gently knocked on the door in front of him.

"Is it sincerity? Come on in. ”

There are only a few people who can come here without notice, and there are not many people in the entire Uchiha family, and it is not surprising that the Great Elder can guess that it is him, he bowed his head and respectfully pulled the door shut, took a few steps forward, and sat down in an orderly manner.

"You received the task scroll given by the clan?"

Hearing the question, Cheng glanced up at the Great Elder, his eyes lowered slightly, and replied:

"Yes, Kenichi asked me to come over and ask if you have anything else to explain."

"Oh," the Great Elder faintly recalled: "There's nothing to explain, it's just Cheng, this time there is no Shuo Maojun to lead the team, and you haven't been on a mission for a long time, so be more careful." ”

"Yes." Cheng bowed his head and waited quietly for the Great Elder's next words.

After a long time, the Great Elder's deep voice sounded: "Zhifu told me that you don't seem to be willing to merge with the Dufeng family again?" ”

Makoto did not hesitate:

"Yes."

The Great Elder glanced at him, and the meaning in his eyes was incomprehensible:

"Maybe you're 14 years old, and you've long been qualified to open your own line, and someone over there will tell him about Dufeng."

After a pause, the Great Elder strengthened his tone:

"However, Li is also a very talented junior, and the family does not require you to be obliged to promote him, and accordingly, you should not be dissatisfied in your heart, whether it is for him or for the family."

Cheng's tone is still calm and there are no waves:

"I understand."

Looking at Cheng who was well-mannered and looked like a good baby on the surface, the Great Elder frowned quietly and slowed down his tone:

"It's not that the family wants to meddle in your personal affairs, it's just that the past is still to let it pass, the prosperity of the family is inseparable from everyone's efforts, and everyone's interests are also closely related to the family."

Makoto blinked, feeling the Great Elder's insistence, and raised his head to make his expression as soft as possible:

"I understand, I'm right...... Their feelings, just a little awkward, but no matter what, we're part of the family, I know that. ”

The Great Elder nodded, not dwelling too much on this matter:

"It's good that you know...... In addition, Tsunade-kun said hello to the family...... How is your body recovering? ”

"I'm almost completely recovered, and all that's left is to strengthen the exercise, which is not much worse than everyone."

Guan asked two sentences, and the Great Elder said directly:

"Well, Tsunade-kun thinks that her responsibilities have been fulfilled and the transaction with the family has stopped...... Even so, before you leave, say goodbye to her again, it is a matter of the family's face, and this kind of etiquette must still be fulfilled. ”

Cheng nodded, and the Great Elder smiled when he saw that he had finished explaining the matter, and said:

"The world graduated today, you know, right?"

Makoto naturally knew, otherwise he wouldn't have mentioned graduation to Hakuya and Kakashi, but he didn't expect the world to graduate one year later than Kakashi, who was only 6 years old this year.

There is a huge difference in age and status, and even if there is a common topic of the world, it is relatively silent after just a few sentences.

The Great Elder lightly gave an order to expel the guest:

"Okay, you just go about your own business, you still have to work harder in physical exercise, although your combat effectiveness is not bad, but the shortcomings of your physical ability are fatal on a large-scale battlefield."

In the case that no one knows Makoto's internal strength, in the eyes of others, compared to Makoto's extreme explosive ability, his ability to continue fighting is much worse. Coupled with his own preferred combat mode of exchanging injuries for injuries, it is certainly no problem to break out in ordinary skirmish conflicts, but once you fall into the vast battlefield, it is really difficult to say how much of a role you can play in the face of a sea of ninjas like ants.

This is also the reason why the ninjas who stand on the other side of the clan privately use to raise the water stop and belittle Makoto.

Of course, Makoto won't explain much about this, and it's better for everyone to think that he is a "three-plate axe" with poor physical conditions, so that when Makoto swings the fourth axe, the expression on the enemy's face must be very interesting, right?

"Then, I'll quit." Makoto bowed and stood up.

The Grand Elder nodded, watched him leave, and closed the door again.

"Did the princess really say that he was still hiding secrets?"

The Great Elder suddenly asked, and a response immediately came from the empty room:

"Well, although it is not ruled out that she deliberately provoked, judging only from the aspect of the battle, Makoto Uchiha would not be so unwise and leave such a big flaw alone, after all, he is not the kind of person who would entrust his life to his teammates."

The Great Elder was silent for a moment, and the person who answered was an expert in combat, and since he said so, then he would not be wrong.

"What do you think of his current strength?"

"Flawed elite shinobi."

"How does it compare to you?"

"As long as I don't reach the shadow level for a day, it's easy for me to kill him."

"Even if he has those eyes?"

"The physical fitness report sent from that guy shows that although he is now back to the level of an average ninja, and although he still has hole cards that are usually enough to turn the game around, this shortcoming is still too fatal for me.

"After all, I have those eyes, too."

The faint voice was not cold, but seemed to be just recounting the facts of an assessment.

The Great Elder nodded slightly, and the room fell silent again, as if nothing had happened.
