Becoming the Bridge of the Clan

Uchiha Clan.

After leaving the Hokage Building, he was ruthlessly abandoned by Tsunade. As soon as he returned home, he ran into a frantic Uchiha Fugaku.

"Yoru, I heard you're with Tsunade!?"

Upon meeting at the entrance, Uchiha Fugaku stared at the figure before him in shock. He was stunned when he received the news late at night, followed by utter disbelief.

The clan mission was for you to make contact with the future Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Uzumaki Kushina. Good heavens, how long has it been?

You bypassed Uzumaki Kushina and got together with Tsunade, the Princess of the Senju Clan?

This isn't just completing the mission, it's exceeding it!

Choosing between the influence behind Uzumaki Kushina and Tsunade, everyone in Konohagakure knows which path to take.

"Captain Fugaku, let me explain!"

Seeing Fugaku's expression, Uchiha Yoru felt as if he had eaten dog shit. He waved his hands in frustration, trying to explain.

However, Uchiha Fugaku shook his head and said:

"Yoru, you don't need to explain. I understand. The clan sees your sacrifice."

At this moment, Fugaku looked at Yoru's handsome face and couldn't help but secretly muse, no wonder Father and the Elders wanted Yoru to carry out this mission.

Indeed, in this regard, he was far inferior to the young Uchiha Yoru.

"Yoru, the Clan Head and the Elders want to see you urgently."

Hearing Fugaku's words, Uchiha Yoru felt incredibly wronged. Damn it!

What kind of situation was this? He had just returned, and the news had already spread. He could imagine the entire Konoha knowing by tomorrow.

He certainly wouldn't mind being with Tsunade, that mature woman, but the problem was that his current strength couldn't handle it; the risk was too great.

Why did Dan Katō die in the original work! And Nawaki before him, there were too many problems, he was still shaken.

Without absolute strength, he just wanted to join the collective, not stand out.

But! All of this had exceeded his expectations!

Clan Head's meeting room.

Under the dim candlelight, the Uchiha Clan Head and Elders were woken up late at night. However, this time, the two sat at the head of the table, silent.

Both were still bewildered. This brat in front of them, they had merely wanted to befriend the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, but this kid had exceeded expectations.

They hadn't even considered the matter with Tsunade.

"Clan Head, Elders!"

Facing the two old men, Uchiha Yoru explained with a heavy heart.

He didn't say much, only that Tsunade had used him as a shield and that everything was fake.

It was fine to rely on a woman or be with an older partner, but he was worried that his current small arms and legs couldn't handle it.

However, the two old men didn't think so. Elder Setsuna, in particular, showed a thoughtful expression.

"Tsunade represents the Senju Clan. Since she did this in front of so many people, there must be a deeper meaning!"

Hearing this, the Clan Head beside him nodded gravely.

"Indeed, it's probably about the White Fang matter."

After exchanging glances, the two seemed to have guessed something.

Many clans in the village supported the White Fang, including the Senju Clan. It was simply that the Third Hokage's faction had become too powerful.

Although their Uchiha Clan had always wanted to befriend the White Fang, they were clearly still lacking.

The Senju doing this was probably a signal to the Uchiha, inviting them to join this collective.

As soon as they thought of this, the Clan Head and Elder's eyes lit up with fervor.

"This is a gesture of goodwill from the Senju Clan. The Uchiha Clan cannot pretend not to see it. As long as the clan joins and builds good relationships with the other major clans, they will gain the village's trust in the future."

Good heavens, seeing these two old foxes clearly misunderstand and then say this, Uchiha Yoru's eyes widened. He wanted to say something, but then he thought about it, and it seemed like this would be beneficial to him and the clan.

"Yoru!"

Suddenly, the Clan Head and Elder turned to him solemnly, and Uchiha Yoru respectfully said in a deep voice:

"Clan Head, Elders!"

"Your burden is now heavier. The clan needs you. If the time comes, in front of Jonin Tsunade, Yoru, we hope you will dare to sacrifice for the clan and the village!"

This statement clearly had a hidden meaning. Looking at the eyes of these two old men, Uchiha Yoru took a deep breath and nodded with a determined expression of bearing the burden.

"Clan Head, Elders, please rest assured. For the glory of the Uchiha, Uchiha Yoru is willing to become a bridge between the clan and the village."

Damn it!

Uchiha Fugaku, who was nearby, lowered his head and didn't dare to look up.

Was this sacrifice proper?

They were the proud Uchiha, and at this moment, glancing at Uchiha Yoru, who righteously offered himself, Fugaku couldn't help but admire him, thinking, I'm not as good as Yoru.

"This is intelligence on Jonin Tsunade."

Suddenly, his father, the Uchiha Clan Head, looked over. Uchiha Fugaku shivered and quickly took out an intelligence scroll.

Tonight's events were too unexpected, but a shinobi's reaction time wasn't just about mobility; it extended to intelligence as well.

After opening the intelligence on Tsunade from the Senju Clan, which the clan had gathered, the Clan Head and an Elder gravely examined the information.

"Drinks a lot! Gambles?"

The two couldn't help but exchange glances and break into smiles.

"Yoru, your Dual Kekkei Genkai is the clan's most precious asset. The clan will provide you with sufficient funds. We hope you can go all out to gain Tsunade's trust."

"Exactly. Everything you're doing is for the clan, and once you gain Jonin Tsunade's trust..."

These two old foxes seemed afraid of provoking Uchiha Yoru's rebellious streak. They sang in harmony, talking about the clan and painting a rosy picture for him.

Uchiha Fugaku, standing nearby, kept his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart, remaining silent, but his eyes clearly showed embarrassment.

This was clearly asking Uchiha Yoru to gain her trust and then act as freely as possible, even sacrificing himself (his looks) if necessary.

This mission was clearly asking the proud Uchiha to bow down!

The more Uchiha Fugaku listened, the more uncomfortable he became, his initial embarrassment turning into a hint of anger.

"Father!"

Finally, Uchiha Fugaku, who was still young and lacked the steady temperament he would later possess, gritted his teeth and raised his head with a stubborn expression.

"The honor of the Uchiha! How will outsiders view the Uchiha in the future?"

Uchiha Fugaku's words completely stunned the Clan Head. His foolish son had spoken up to refute before the main party had even said anything.

Elder Setsuna, standing nearby, frowned and gave the Clan Head a deep look, as if to say, "Look at your good son."

Having lived so long, they had long learned to be flexible in their youth, and some methods were inevitable.

"Captain Fugaku! This is all for the clan. I am doing this willingly!"

Suddenly, Uchiha Yoru, seeing this scene, widened his eyes and quickly intervened.

Well, well, Uchiha Fugaku, with your earnest face, you're trying to stop this good thing at a time like this.

One thing these two old guys said was absolutely correct: he might truly need to leverage the Senju and Uchiha clans this time.

Now that Tsunade had used him as a shield, he could only grow quickly by relying on both sides.

As the saying goes, fortune favors the bold!

After thinking this through, Uchiha Yoru stood up, looked at the Elder and the Clan Head, and said in a deep voice:

"Although the clan is currently in the heart of Konoha, the Uchiha are like a lonely flame in the night. This is an opportunity. My Kekkei Genkai allows me to openly interact with Jonin Tsunade, and at the same time..."

He rambled on, essentially stating that his Bloodline Disease could be used as an excuse to continue interacting with Tsunade.

In short, the clan wanted him to exploit Tsunade's hobbies while also providing a legitimate reason to the outside world, considering the pride of the Uchiha Clan.

At this moment, the Uchiha Clan Head and Elder showed expressions of relief. This was the kind of young person who bravely sacrificed everything for the clan.

Uchiha Fugaku, standing nearby, showed a look of shame. Yoru was sacrificing too much for the clan, and he was forcibly bending the Uchiha's unyielding spirit.
