This conversation with the Uchiha patriarch can be regarded as a halftime retreat.

Even if Seiichi has enough weight in Fugaku's heart, but this matter is related to the entire Uchiha clan, so it is naturally impossible to determine everything with the two of them.

Fugaku needs to think, and events also need a 'process'.

And most importantly, it takes time.

Rushing to achieve results risks upsetting the delicate balance that is now being struck.

Watergate forced back the control of the 'elders' forces due to the incident of the east window of the group and the joint platform of the major families, but this does not mean that all the family forces will be respected from now on.

With such generous conditions for the Uchiha clan, Mizumon's vision of resolving the conflict between the clan and the village came to life.

But that doesn't mean Watergate wants to do it right away.

Even if the blonde hedgehog is a little natural, he would not have such naïve thoughts about this kind of thing.

His previous remarks with Fuyue were just expressions of the 'sincerity' of the four generations' purpose.

It is the intention of sending to the satisfaction of many parties as much as possible and to resolve these contradictions.

Nor is it a real solution.

This is followed by a discussion about finding the right balance between all the families and the village.

Seiichi declined Fugaku's invitation to stay with him for dinner, saying only that he had eaten a lot of meatballs before coming today and was not too hungry.

If you can't eat the dishes made by Aunt Mai Trina, it's a little rude, wait until next time to save your stomach.

Fu Yue didn't force him to stay, but just showed a slight smile on that Gu Bo's unfazed face.

Just say it when you want to come, there is no shortage of those pairs of chopsticks here. ’

Seeing Seiichi grow up to the present, Fugaku looked at him with both relief and guilt.

The child entrusted by his best friend finally broke through the quagmire by himself and saw the light again.

He never hated this 'betrayal' of his family, not to mention it, and even had the strength to feed back.

What a . Incredibly powerful child.

If the ferret also um. Some of them are too greedy.

However, the patriarch was not without his own considerations.

The time when Kakashi became the fourth generation of the shadow department is quite examinable, probably during the period when the Uchiha united the major families to force the palace.

Obito only happened after the recent miraculous return to Konoha.

But.

What about Seiichi?

When did Seiichi become the so-called fourth generation of Hokage Guardian Shadows.

The scroll handed over by Seiichi to record the information of the root. And his ninjutsu that seems to disappear in an instant.

Even though Uchiha Fugaku trusted Seiichi very much, it was impossible for him to completely ignore these suspicions.

It can even be said that the moment I learned that Seiichi would be the fourth generation of Hokage as the shadow department.

The Uchiha's patriarch suddenly realized.

That bundle of scrolls, that technique

If you get it from Watergate; The bizarre growth rate of Na Chengyi's body can be explained.

This golden hedgehog.

It looks really kind.

Ghost idea. Quite a few!

But the more he figured out that all this might be from the hands of Watergate, the deeper the jealousy in Fu Yue's heart became, and he had to think about it again.

In comparison, their Uchiha clan's ability to play these tricks is far behind

Fu Yue didn't mention it to Cheng Yi, and Bo Feng Shuimen even proposed to let Fu Yue become the captain of the dark part and help manage his affairs.

If he can get this seat, then the whereabouts of the shadows as the Hokage's direct command force will no longer be a secret to the Uchiha clan.

This is probably also the greatest show of sincerity that Watergate can give.

Fuyue is not unmoved.

But this action basically means that the Uchiha is completely bound to the water gate, and it may even make everyone in the clan think that he Fugaku has become the loyal dog of the fourth generation Hokage.

This is unacceptable.

Whether it's on the face or on the inside.

The Uchiha clan's greatest expectation is not to continue to be a working horseman.

They want to enter the decision-making level of Konoha with a relatively independent attitude!

Being able to have the power to influence the decisions of the village is what makes them feel truly satisfied. Security.

This is actually the root of the estrangement between the Uchiha clan and the village in Seikai's eyes.

Uchiha. I never wanted to be completely immersed in Konoha yet.

Just like their conceit in those eyes, their pride in the name of the Uchiha.

What they are looking for is a more transcendent status.

In a way, it is an attempt to equate the weight of the family with the village.

And even further.

But

Seiichi didn't want them to be like that.

The Uchiha is good, whether it's the bravery of the fight, or the strong sense of responsibility for the mission.

But the Uchiha has to be the Uchiha of Konoha.

This is also the bottom line of Watergate.

After crossing this line, Watergate may also part ways with Makoichi.

Of course

Seiichi decided to rebel because he couldn't get used to this cannibalistic world.

It's not to be the cannibalistic being who does these things.

Both he and Mizuto could make a lot of concessions to appease the Uchiha, but these concessions were also based on the premise that he could control them.

The purpose of these concessions is also to allow the Uchiha family, which is somewhat independent of Konoha to really integrate into it.

So, of course, Seiichi won't stay here for dinner today.

Because the time should be counted for someone to wait at their doorstep, waiting for them to eat another feast that may not be so sumptuous but must go.

Seiichi also invited Obito in advance.

But Obito said he was going home to take care of his grandmother, and they hadn't seen each other for a long time.

Grandma said that she would prepare a lot of delicious food for him today.

Seiichi didn't say anything more, just nodded his toes, and returned home directly with the Flying Thunder God technique.

Sure enough, the big man who had left since dawn arrived, was sitting on the sofa in the Makoto family in a very chic posture drinking soda in the refrigerator.

Seiichi glanced at it with a little disgust.

"Let's go? Jiraiya-sama? ”

The sudden appearance of the little ghost didn't seem to surprise Jiraiya, but he held his chin in his most commonly used posture and said, "Well, Makoto a little ghost? Hasn't the old man spoken yet? ”

"You know what I know, and you still bother the adults to open something, let's just go straight to the road." Seiichi opened the door and made a 'please' gesture.

"Ah~ It's really easy to deal with a little ghost like you. It's kind of scary. Jiraiya seemed to have something to say, "If you really want to be bad for the village, even the old man can't think of what to do." ”

The perfect immortal mode, and even the immortal state that is far more stable than himself, plus the Flying Thunder God technique that only Mizumon has successfully taught himself for decades.

Even if you say that you want to be rude, I'm afraid there is nothing you can do with him.

Unless he also made a sneak attack, he didn't have the certainty of leaving this little ghost.

Of course, Seiichi also understands why Jiraiya, who had been chatting more properly before, is thorny in the conversation at the moment.

After all, it was his teacher who pitted, and he forced him to the pit method of the thief ship with the water gate.

Even if this snow-haired hero doesn't say it, how can he not be dissatisfied with Seiichi and Orochimaru in his heart?

This is also the real reason why Jiraiya is really afraid of this little ghost named Seiichi.

A guy who is good at planning is far more difficult to deal with than a guy who is only strong in force.

It's even worse if it's the sum of the two.

Seiichi followed Jiraiya's side as if he was yin and yang, and said, "If I spend so much time trying to disgust Konoha for a while. Then I'm really disgusted when I look at it. ”

Jiraiya scratched his head, and seemed to feel that he might have a thorn in his words.

After all, the sins of the roots are no longer indistinguishable, and the three generations of teachers want to protect the group, which is the root of all these disasters.

Seiichi, this little ghost, just dug up these things that were originally invisible.

"Makoto a little ghost, you wait here for me for a while."

It didn't take long for Jiraiya to buy a can of soda from somewhere and throw it to Seiichi.

Chengyi was not polite, grabbed the soda and pulled it away directly:

"Jiraiya-sama, are you going to compensate for the soda you just drank at my house?"

Jiraiya pulled the palm of the soda and suddenly put on that very classic stinky face.

"You little ghost, you're not cute at all."

"Then I really thank you for the compliment."

Nothing to say all the way.

It wasn't until he approached the destination of the trip that Jiraiya suddenly stopped.

"Uchiha boy, I'll ask you one last time."

His eyes were unusually serious, and his scrutiny was extremely meaningful.

"Which side are you?"

Seiichi drank all the soda that Jiraiya had given him and threw it into the trash can in the distance.

"This afternoon, I accompanied the little sister of the red bean to eat meatballs, and then followed the Uchiha's brother to listen to another tragedy on the battlefield, and then went to the patriarch's house to figure out the future direction of the family, and not long ago I received the soda given by Lord Jiraiya."

"Now, I'm going to go to Lord Watergate's house to have dinner with my companions."

He grinned and raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Jiraiya-sama, which side do you think I'm on?"
