"Achi, you're finally back!"
What's wrong?
Uchiha Ike was slightly taken aback, then smiled and pushed open the door: "Let's come in first."
Yatsushiro quickly followed.
Upon entering the living room, Uchiha Ike sat down on the sofa with the Eighth Generation and went to the kitchen to bring out two glasses of ice water.
He handed one cup to Uchiha Hachiro, then tilted his head back and drank the rest in one gulp, the icy sensation filling his mouth and traveling down his esophagus to his stomach.
After a long day of training, the exhausted Uchiha Ike suddenly felt refreshed.
Summer calls for cold drinks, and cola would be even better...
Uchiha Ike shook his head, dismissing these useless thoughts, and smiled at the somewhat reserved Uchiha Eighth Hokage.
"Nobody knows you came here, right?"
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Yasho's expression relaxed somewhat: "No problem. The security team will be working overtime tonight, and I've already informed my family beforehand."
That's why he had the opportunity to come here today. After all, it would be too crowded and inconvenient to contact Uchiha Ike during the day.
"Overtime?" Uchiha Ike was taken aback, not expecting to hear this familiar term in the ninja world. He hesitated and asked, "And your work in the security force?"
"I handed it over to a kid named Uchiha Tekka."
Uchiha Hachimoku explained, a slight smile appearing on his face.
"He's a few years older than you, Achi. Although he's only a Chunin with a single tomoe rank, he's someone you can trust. I watched him and his brother grow up..."
Iron fire?
Uchiha Ike tilted his head.
If I remember correctly, Uchiha Tetsuka also had a younger brother named Uchiha Inahashi, who was in the class next to his during the Ninja Academy.
Uchiha Inahisa, Uchiha Tetsuka, and Uchiha Hachidai, this trio, went to Itachi's house to question him about his whereabouts that day after Shisui jumped off the cliff and committed suicide.
Looking at it this way, their relationship is indeed very good.
However, when he was conning Yatsudai, he didn't expect to be able to poach two other people as well.
This is a good thing. There's strength in numbers, and it's never a bad thing to have many friends.
"Uchiha Tetsuka, is it?" Chiha Ike nodded and said with a smile, "Since he's someone you trust, I'll definitely go and meet him if I have the chance."
"Achi..." Upon hearing Uchiha Ike's words, Uchiha Yatsushiro's expression immediately changed, and he was momentarily at a loss for words.
Compared to Uchiha Fugaku, who always had a stern face and whose thoughts were unknown.
With Uchiha Ike, he could always sense the other person's sincerity, frankness, and undisguised concern.
"This is all for the future of the Uchiha clan." Uchiha Ike waved his hand and said earnestly, "Eighth Hokage, our strength is still very weak. We need to accumulate more capable people..."
"His younger brother used to be in the class next to mine. He should have graduated by now. If you have the opportunity, you could mentor him."
this......
This means taking back the right to judge and recruit people!
Looking at Uchiha Ike, who was shaking his head and rambling on, Uchiha Yatsushiro was even more moved, completely unaware that the other party had changed his address for him from "Old Eight" to "Eighth Generation".
He has been a member of the security force for ten years.
Ten years ago, he was a young and inexperienced squad leader; ten years later, he is an experienced squad leader.
Nothing has changed.
However, after knowing him for less than half a month, Uchiha Ike has entrusted him with such an important matter...
Uchiha Hachiho instinctively straightened his back, took several deep breaths, and then opened his eyes and nodded emphatically: "I understand, Akane. I will definitely do my best!"
"Very good..." Uchiha Ike nodded with a smile.
It's better to leave the task of poaching employees to veterans like Yashiro, who have extensive experience in the security forces.
As for him, he can simply enjoy the fruits of his labor.
"By the way," Uchiha Yasho hesitated for a moment before tentatively asking, "Aike, have you divided up your ninja teams yet? I haven't seen you around the clan compound lately."
"We've been training for two days now." Uchiha Ike immediately understood what the other person meant and said with a smile, "My teammates are Hatake Kakashi and Yuhi Kurenai from the Yuhi Clan."
"As expected, he is Sakumo Hatake's son..." Uchiha Yatsushiro remarked with some emotion.
During the Second Shinobi World War, even though he was on the battlefield in Amegakure, he often heard about the legendary White Fang of Konoha in the camp.
He single-handedly assassinated a Jonin puppeteer couple from Sunagakure, greatly boosting the morale of the Konoha camp.
He led his squad on the front lines and made numerous outstanding contributions on the battlefield.
After that, Konoha's White Fang's reputation spread, and he naturally became a candidate for the next Hokage.
Many Uchiha members also supported Sakumo Hatake, not only because they had carried out various missions under him, but also because of his clean background.
Even if it's not the Uchiha clan that becomes Hokage, it's still better than those Konoha high-ranking officials who are related by blood.
Besides, if Sakumo Hatake can do it, then wouldn't the Uchiha clan have a chance in the next generation as well?
But fate played a cruel trick, and that incident happened...
Uchiha Hachidai sighed with emotion. He truly couldn't believe that if it were just his teammates' accusations, the renowned Konoha White Fang would ultimately choose to commit suicide.
There must have been some behind-the-scenes manipulation by higher-ups.
They, the Uchiha, may not be the smartest, but their intuition is always very accurate. If something bad happens, they are sure to suspect the village's higher-ups.
All the high-ranking officials in Konoha should die!
Seeing the Eighth Generation's expression gradually become more agitated, Uchiha Ike raised an eyebrow, knowing that he was once again displaying the traditional Uchiha skill of thinking about dangerous topics.
"Oh, right," Uchiha Ike said casually as he added ice water to his glass, as if he had just remembered something, "my teacher is Tsunade."
The impassioned expression on Uchiha Hachimoku's face froze instantly; his eyes widened and his mouth gaped open.
He gripped the glass of ice water tightly and stood up abruptly from the sofa.
"Really!?"
Uchiha Ike did not answer, but simply smiled and calmly drank his water.
"You've become Tsunade's student? Really? Really?"
"Achi, you can't just make jokes like that!"
"Achi, say something!"
When Uchiha Yatsuho finally arrived, he looked anxious, as if he was about to burst and couldn't hold it in any longer.
Uchiha Ike glanced at the other person with a light laugh: "It's true, Tsunade, the granddaughter of the First Hokage, is my mentor."
He didn't add the word "temporary" that Tsunade emphasized, because in his opinion, Tsunade wouldn't run away anytime soon after witnessing his Sharingan.
"Has our Uchiha clan really come to this day...?"
"this......"
The dignified squad leader of the security force, a Jonin with three-tomoe Sharingan, Uchiha Yatsuho looked at Uchiha Ike with tears in his eyes.
"Lady Tsunade has such excellent taste!"
