How About We Decide the Winner by Looks?

Not right!

After thinking for a moment, Uchiha Tekka immediately realized there was a problem with Fugaku's words.

Uchiha Mai was a nine-year-old brat. He had only been eight before the New Year. Even if he had participated in a heavyweight mission, how much could he possibly have contributed?

At most, he had just been along for the ride.

They were indeed powerful support, but they could also become a double-edged
