Uchiha Fugaku Take a deep breath and force yourself to calm down.
Watching Sen and Mikoto chatting and laughing, this feeling is more painful than all the injuries they suffered on the battlefield put together!
This is an unspeakable, heart-piercing pain!
But then he thought of his father's plan: it won't take long before Uchiha Sen will be completely solved! He must not expose his flaws at this time! Just bear with it a little longer! It will be soon!
After thinking about it, Uchiha Fugaku squeezed out a fairly calm expression and said to Sen:
"It's like this. The clan believes that you have made outstanding contributions in this war, and specially invites you to join Konoha Guard Unit and serve as the team leader."
Sen frowned slightly after hearing this. Does the other party just want to reconcile?
But there is no possibility of reconciliation between the two. Not to mention Mikoto, even the last wish left by Great Elder is doomed that the two of them cannot coexist.
Sen asked calmly, "Why did you invite me?"
Uchiha Fugaku tried his best to sound sincere, "You are powerful. Now at the end of the war, the village's economy and public security are very bad. With you in charge Guard Unit, you can also intimidate Xiaoxiao."
Mikoto bit her chopsticks, rolled her beautiful eyes, and said, "I think it's really good.
Joining Guard Unit is the best way out for us Uchiha people. The mission is not difficult and the casualty rate is low. Even if there is a war, we generally will not be sent to the front line."
She looked at Sen and persuaded, "Go and try it. If you don't like it, you can quit."
Sen thought for a while and said, "It's okay to join. Then I'll bring Uchiha Hikaru and the others in. They have good strength and should be considered a very high-quality resource."
Uchiha Fugaku The corner of his mouth twitches, asking you to bring them in Guard Unit, it's like putting a thorn in his side.
"Guard Unit doesn't need so many people now."
Sen frowned. "That's right. Then I don't have to be subject to many restrictions. It's good to rest and have nothing to do now. Anyway, I'm not short of money for the time being."
"..." Uchiha Fugaku had no choice but to compromise, "Okay, you can bring Uchiha Hikaru, and you two will join together."
"That's it," Sen seemed to still have concerns, "It's not impossible for me to join, but I still have a question."
"... You said." Uchiha Fugaku felt like the roots of his teeth were itching.
Guard Unit, where everyone is trying to get in, why is it like a fire pit when you come here?
"Guard Unit, do you care about borrowing money or not paying it back?"
Uchiha Fugaku closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and calmed down when he opened them again:
"I thought it was a big deal. If you don't pay back the money you owe, as long as there is a whistleblower and a solid IOU, of course we will take care of it!"
After receiving a positive reply, Sen showed a hint of joy on his face. "Okay, I'll report in tomorrow."
As he said that, he glanced at Uchiha Fugaku and found that the other person's eyes were still fixed on Mikoto.
Sen calmly picked up the largest piece of spare ribs and gently put it into the Mikoto bowl:
"Mikoto, eat more, you see you are tired and thin on the battlefield."
Then he turned his head and looked at Uchiha Fugaku standing at the door, and asked, "By the way, Fugaku, do you want to sit down and have something to eat together?"
Uchiha Fugaku feels like his back molars are about to be bitten into pieces!
Don't tell me sooner or later, but just when I was about to leave, I asked Mikoto hypocritically while picking up food! How could you really want to keep me here?
This Uchiha Sen is really abominable, simply evil!
Let me see how many more days you can still dance!
"I've eaten! Remember to report on time tomorrow!" Uchiha Fugaku said a harsh word and turned to leave without looking back.
Looking at the back of Fugaku leaving in a hurry, Mikoto chuckled and said, "Actually, Fugaku is not a bad person. Don't keep irritating him. He will be Clan Leader in the future."
"He can't afford it." Sen looked at Mikoto and said, "The price he pays for being Clan Leader is too high."
"If he can't take it, can you take it?" Mikoto asked casually.
Seeing Sen nodding his head naturally, Mikoto was stunned for a moment, then his cheeks turned slightly red and he whispered:
"Then... then we have to get married quickly... so that I can let my grandpa fully support you."
Sen stopped his chopsticks, leaned over, almost face to face with Mikoto, and asked softly, "What did you just say? I didn't hear clearly."
Thinking of her bold words just now, Mikoto's face suddenly turned red. She raised her head and met Sen's eyes, her eyes gentle but firm:
"I... I don't understand your fight for power. I just... just think that you should support the people you like unconditionally.
You... you won't be unwilling, right?"
Sen reached out his hand lovingly and gently pinched Mikoto's warm face. "Of course I do. I'm willing to do anything to meet you."
"That's good." Mikoto lowered his head to eat shyly, his cheeks as red as apples.
The next morning, Konoha Guard Unit.
When Uchiha Fugaku saw that everyone was here, he cleared his throat and announced to everyone, "We have two new teammates joining us today, Uchiha Sen and Uchiha Hikaru. Let's get along well in the future."
He deliberately made the introduction very brief, just to downplay it so that everyone wouldn't pay too much attention to it.
However, the development of things was completely beyond his expectation.
"Is he Uchiha Sen? I heard that he controlled a city for a year with dozens of people in the Land of Earth battlefield! He also managed it extremely well and was deeply loved by the local residents."
"What does this mean? We are ninjas. Of course we speak with our strength. Do you know that he seems to have killed Four-Tails Jinchuriki by himself!"
"Really or not, that's too exaggerated. Jinchuriki is almost as strong as Kage Level! With his height, he must be fourteen or fifteen years old at most, right?"
Facing everyone's adoring or curious gazes, Sen yawned:
"It's not as exaggerated as you said. I just broke one of the other's arms by luck."
What does it mean to just break one of the opponent's hands... Isn't this a bit too pretentious...
What a Versailles this is! Everyone looked at Sen, and their eyes instantly became a little higher.
Seeing that the situation was out of control, Uchiha Fugaku quickly brought the topic back:
"Okay, stop chatting and get ready to carry out the mission! Sen, it's your first time here, and I've arranged a partner for you. Uchiha Sibo, let's get to know each other."
A Uchiha tribesman about twenty years old and dressed simply walked over and nodded towards the two of them.
"Hello, my name is Uchiha Sibo. I have been working at Guard Unit for two years. I will help you get familiar with your work as soon as possible. Please give me your advice."
Sen and Yan exchanged a look, and they knew in their hearts: This was the eyeliner planted by Fugaku.
Sen shrugged and said "hello" as a greeting.
The three of them immediately took to the streets together and began patrolling.
Arriving at the block where he was on duty, Sen asked Uchiha Sibo seemingly unintentionally, "By the way, what procedures do we need to file a case?"
Uchiha Sibo observed the surroundings vigilantly while replying, "The main thing is that someone has to report the crime. After receiving the report and finding out that the situation is true, the case can be filed and executed."
"That's it," Sen sighed, "I have a friend who was owed a debt and didn't pay it back for a year or two, but he was very worried. Can you help me open a case?"
"Of course!" As soon as he heard "the debt will not be repaid," Uchiha Sibo immediately showed a look of disgust on his face, and he quickly took out the filing documents.
"I hate this kind of old guy the most! I once lent money to a friend, but the guy didn't pay back for three years!
At that time, my father was injured at work and the family was short of money. When he saw me, he would avoid me without caring about the friendship we had back then!"
Sen stepped forward and patted his shoulder, comforting. "There are always such scum. You can write it for me first. The borrower will write me, and the debtor will fill it in later. The amount is 5.38 million taels."
Uchiha Sibo's writing hand paused, and then the anger on his face became more intense. "More than five million taels! So much money! It must be some big family bullying others! I'll write it now, and we'll deal with it together after it's written!"
Filled with righteous indignation, he quickly wrote the case filing form, and at the same time he did not forget to remind, "Sen, please note that if members of Guard Unit file false cases at will, they will be severely punished!"
"Don't worry, I'm not that kind of person!" Sen looked upright.
"Okay. Who is the name of the debtor? Do you need to ask your friend?"
Sen walked forward, looked at the written case filing form, took the other party's pen, and said while writing:
"It's Shimura Danzō."
