Chapter 44: New Assessments
Except for a flourishing cypress tree at the entrance to the entrance to the doorway, there are few other features worth remembering. However, if it is only to prevent it from being impossible to find in a residential complex that is too similar, it seems that such a conspicuous feature is enough.
Makoto walked to the door, stopped, and waited for 2 seconds, the wooden door that matched the ordinary style of the house opened automatically with a "creak", and the two young men who came out of it showed surprised expressions.
"Hello."
"Ah...... It's Makoto-kun, hello. ”
"Hello, Chengjun."
Makoto nodded, with a kind smile on his face, but he didn't speak because he didn't know the other party's name.
"Are you here to find Tomo-sama? He happened to be there. The ninja on the left said.
"No, I'm here to find Fuyue, is he there?" Sincerity.
"Fugaku...... He must be there too, right? The ninja on the left turned his gaze to his companion and said in a tone that wasn't quite sure.
"In the hallway, I saw his forehead guard." The ninja on the right answered in the affirmative.
"Thank you both, you don't know their names yet?"
"You don't have to be so polite, just call me Spirit." The more cheerful young man on the left replied with a smile.
"Loose right." The grim-faced young man on the right.
"Okay, Lu and Songyou, I remember, the two of you can just call me by name."
"That," the spirit on the left turned around slightly, and said, "I won't delay your time, let go of the right, let's go." ”
Makoto lowered his shoulders and symbolically made a gesture of way in a space large enough for the three of them to be parallel, and the two of them nodded at him and left.
"Songyou, do you see it, this is the most outstanding genius in the clan, and it is really strong!"
"Hmm."
"And the people are also very good, not as cold and arrogant as the legend......"
……
The small talk of the two who walked away was captured by Makoto's keen five senses, and Makoto walked into the courtyard, and the voices of the two gradually drifted apart, and finally they couldn't hear it.
Although in ordinary life, ninjas usually do not deliberately hide their bodies and traces - if you do this in Konoha , you may be invited to tea by the elite shadows passing by - however, a slightly more diligent ninja will subconsciously integrate the cultivation of hiding feet and breath into daily life, and sometimes, just from this point, you can get a glimpse of the strength of a ninja.
In a world full of ninjas, being strong is a reason to be respected.
Uchiha and Matsuyou, the two deliberately lowered their posture to make friends, and Makoto is not without intentions for the two, can come to visit, and the relationship with Uchiha Tomoo is quite close in words, and the most important thing is that the strength of the two people is not bad, with these conditions, Makoto leaves a good impression in their hearts, it must be beneficial and harmless. However, it was too early to say this, and before Makoto reached the entrance, he met a servant who, after hearing that Tomoo was busy with official business, asked him to take him to Fugaku's room.
"Young Master Fuyue, there are guests visiting."
Although it is only a standard house built uniformly within the clan, but the age and position of the Chio are quite high, the level of the house where he lives is not too low, and the Uchiha family encourages childbearing, even if the average child will move out of the family after they become adults and get married, but the residence allocated by the family will not be too small.
Fugaku's own residence has a separate living room, bedroom, washroom, etc., and the area is no less than that of an ordinary person in the Konoha family.
After the servant finished shouting, he heard Fuyue answer inside, and opened the door.
"Yo, it's Cheng, please come in."
"Young Master Fuyue, if you have any orders, call me." The servant respectfully stepped back, and Makoto followed him in at Fugaku's beckoning, and took a seat in a room that resembled a living room.
"Makoto, what's the matter with me? However, you came just in time for my father to let me inform you. Fuyue poured tea for Makoto casually, sat on the sofa and asked with a casual smile, relaxed and cordial, very comfortable.
"Oh?" Makoto said with interest, but before that, let's talk about White Fang first: "You are relatively well-informed, I would like to ask the village about the reaction to the White Fang incident." ”
"White Fang...... Fu Yue muttered, "I've heard my father say this, which means that the family shouldn't get too close to Lord White Fang recently. ”
Makoto frowned, knowing that he had something to do.
"But because of this, Lord White Fang is not in any danger." Fuyue comforted.
Makoto nodded, this is easy to understand, on the one hand, the White Fang incident, his own handling did not violate the mission regulations of the village, on the other hand, the three generations have also stated that the village will not give up anyone because of this. If it's just public opinion or the Daimyo of the Fire Nation who wants the life of White Fang, as far as Konoha is concerned, there are too many ways to keep White Fang.
War technology and biotechnology and even intelligence capabilities, ninjas and the outside world are not on the same level at all, and within Konoha and under the condition that other ninja forces cannot intervene, it is not too easy to do something to deceive the outside world.
The Uchiha ordered the clansmen not to participate, precisely because the situation in the village was not chaotic now, and the attitudes and actions of all parties were kept at a relatively orderly level. If something goes wrong with a strong man like White Fang, Konoha's security, the temptations of all parties, and the secret conflict will not be the calm situation it is now.
After a pause, seeing that Cheng nodded in agreement, Fuyue continued: "Judging from the performance of each family, everyone at the top is silent about this, and there is no tendency to speak, but the front line and the bottom still start to complain. ”
This is the role of the economic sanctions of the daimyo, and the top brass knows that this is temporary, but for the bottom, whose income has begun to fall sharply, it is inevitable to vent complaints about the "culprit" White Fang.
"As for the villagers......" Fu Yue spread his hands: "Makoto, if you walk on the street casually now, you can hear the criticism of Lord White Fang, right?" ”
"Got it," Makoto said, "What did Tomo-sama tell me about it?" ”
"Cheng, my father said that the new assessment given to you by the family has been released." Fuyue said solemnly.
Originally, the order of the family and the Great Elder was given through the Great Elder's Shangnin Kenichi Uchiha, but recently Tomoo seems to have taken over this errand.
Makoto straightened up and said, "Please speak." ”
"The new assessment is to form a new squad to participate in this attack mission led by Lord White Fang against the two countries of wind and rain."
From that middle ninja exam to the special qualification exam, every assessment given by the family was not easy, seeing Fu Yue's serious expression, Cheng knew that the task that Bai Fang and himself faced must not be as light as the previous three generations said.
