Fugaku Uchiha's Plea

Fugaku Uchiha intensely disliked Zhang Miao's habit of teasing people until they were on the edge of their seats, only to reveal half of what he knew.

This was especially true when it concerned important matters for the Uchiha Clan!

However, Fugaku Uchiha's intuition told him that Zhang Miao had been telling the truth earlier. But how could a child like Zhang Miao know such secret information?

Most importantly, judging by the incomplete sentence he'd just spoken, it was clear he knew even more.

From these two points, it could be inferred that this kid, or rather the Uzumaki Clan behind him, possessed a super intelligence network that could put the Five Great Nations to shame!

With this thought, Fugaku Uchiha's gaze towards Zhang Miao changed. He took a deep breath, then looked at Zhang Miao with a serious expression.

"Ryunosuke, I have a favor to ask of you!"

Fugaku Uchiha had set aside his status and was even using polite language towards Zhang Miao. Hearing this, Zhang Miao immediately became a little wary.

"Let me make this clear first, I won't tell you anything about Madara Uchiha!"

"It's not about Madara Uchiha!"

As soon as Zhang Miao finished speaking, Fugaku Uchiha shook his head.

"I hope you won't tell anyone about Madara Uchiha and Obito Uchiha. Because it's of great importance, please keep it a secret. I'm begging you!"

After speaking, Fugaku Uchiha bowed deeply to Zhang Miao.

Seeing this, Zhang Miao was quite surprised.

Fugaku Uchiha was willing to humble himself and beg like this? He truly was the clan head of the Uchiha, not simple at all!

With this thought, Zhang Miao also nodded seriously towards Fugaku Uchiha.

"Okay, I can agree to that, as long as the Uchiha Clan doesn't cause me any trouble in the future. This small request isn't too much, is it?"

Hearing Zhang Miao agree, Fugaku Uchiha breathed a sigh of relief and immediately accepted.

"Of course, I can guarantee that!"

At this point, Fugaku Uchiha adjusted his expression, trying to appear gentler, and then asked as if joking.

"Ryunosuke, I wonder what's so special about your attendant that you would use such an important secret to exchange for him?"

Hearing Fugaku Uchiha's words, Zhang Miao laughed again.

"My attendant isn't anything special, and naturally, he's not worth exchanging such an important secret for. The reason I'm telling this secret to the Uchiha Clan head is simply that I hope to exchange it for the Uchiha Clan not bothering me in the future. That's all!"

Of course, Zhang Miao wouldn't tell Fugaku Uchiha that the Might Wei he'd recruited was special, so special that he could kick their ancestor Madara's ass with one kick!

And Zhang Miao wasn't entirely lying. He truly didn't want to be bothered by the Uchiha Clan in the future.

Because according to the original plot, during the period between the Nine-Tails incident and the Uchiha's extermination, the Leaf Village's higher-ups would become increasingly harsh towards the Uchiha Clan, and the Uchiha Clan's dissatisfaction with the Leaf Village would grow.

The consequence of this would be increasingly severe resistance and venting from the Leaf Village Security Force!

The Leaf Village Security Force was equivalent to the police in Konohagakure. Imagine if, instead of focusing on fighting crime and maintaining order, the police in a certain area transformed into a city management team, constantly finding trouble for the local residents every day. What kind of situation would that be?

Zhang Miao didn't know what others would do, but he felt that with his own behavior, he would probably be arrested by the Leaf Village Security Force three times a day.

It was precisely to prevent all this from happening that Zhang Miao had told Fugaku Uchiha about Madara Uchiha and Obito Uchiha. His goal was to convey one thing.

Your weakness is in my hands. If you dare to cause me trouble in the future, then your Uchiha Clan will be in trouble!

Fugaku Uchiha naturally understood Zhang Miao's intentions. At the same time, he understood even more clearly the severe consequences if the secret Zhang Miao had just revealed were to leak.

Konohagakure had always been wary of the Uchiha Clan, fearing that someone like Madara Uchiha would emerge from within it.

If everyone now knew that Obito Uchiha was the one who controlled the Nine-Tails attack on Konohagakure, it would be equivalent to telling everyone that another person like Madara Uchiha had appeared!

At that point, the wariness and estrangement towards the Uchiha would completely turn into hatred, and an internal war might erupt.

Although the Uchiha Clan was strong, that was only when compared to other clans. If they were compared to the entire Konohagakure, they would appear somewhat weak.

If a war were to truly break out, Fugaku Uchiha felt that the outcome would not be optimistic for the Uchiha Clan, and this was not what he wanted.

In contrast, maintaining a peaceful coexistence with Zhang Miao was clearly the wisest choice. Therefore, as soon as Zhang Miao finished speaking, Fugaku Uchiha immediately nodded.

"Ryunosuke, from today onwards, no one from the Uchiha Clan will bother you. And if you encounter any problems you can't solve, the Uchiha Clan will do its best to help you!"

"Hahahaha, that's good!"

Seeing Fugaku Uchiha's serious expression, Zhang Miao couldn't help but laugh.

"Also, Uncle Fugaku, you should just call me by my name. If others find out that the clan head of the Uchiha, the famous 'Fugaku the Fierce Eye,' is using polite language towards a child, I'll be in a lot of trouble!"

"Alright!" Hearing Zhang Miao's words, Fugaku Uchiha nodded again. "Then I'll just call you Ryunosuke. Actually, I have a son who's a little older than you, his name is Itachi. I think you two will definitely become friends!"

Itachi? Itachi Uchiha?

According to Zhang Miao's understanding, Itachi Uchiha was already five years old this year and had already been sent to the Ninja Academy.

Therefore, when he heard Fugaku Uchiha say that Itachi was a little older than him, Zhang Miao's expression became a bit strange.

Could it be that with the System's help, I've already developed to the level of a five-year-old child?

With this thought, Zhang Miao simply asked Fugaku Uchiha directly.

"Uncle Fugaku, how old do I look?"

"Huh?"

Zhang Miao's question had clearly caught Fugaku Uchiha off guard. He paused for a moment, then looked at Zhang Miao with a hint of surprise.

"I thought you were only three years old. Are you five already?"

Zhang Miao: "..."

Am I older-looking than Itachi-sama?

Thinking this, Zhang Miao lost all interest in continuing the conversation and waved a hand at Fugaku Uchiha.

"Alright, since the matter is settled, I'll be heading back. Don't worry, my lips are sealed. I know what I should and shouldn't say. I'll come over to your place for a meal sometime when I'm free, and I'll get to meet that genius of the Uchiha Clan then."

With that, Zhang Miao left. Watching his retreating figure, Fugaku Uchiha frowned once more.

"The Uzumaki Clan, how many more secrets do you hold?"
