Qingguang, Though We Are Not Blood Brothers, We Are Closer Than Brothers

Two days later.

The Police Department finally finished dealing with the aftermath of this case.

The qualified medicinal herbs were sent to the Medical Department, while the fake ones were naturally destroyed.

Only then did Qingguang enter Fugaku's office. As soon as he walked in, he saw Fugaku with his head down, looking troubled and indecisive.

"Director Fugaku, have you encountered any more trouble?"

Qingguang's voice at this moment was like heavenly music, a savior's voice entering Fugaku's ears.

"Qingguang, you've come at the perfect time."

Then, Fugaku poured out all his recent worries about Yashiro and Akiya's wedding to Qingguang.

Yashiro and Akiya's wedding was not just about the future happiness of the couple, but also a political signal from the Uchiha Clan to the village, the ninja clans, and the civilians.

But now, besides the Inuzuka Clan, the Uchiha could legitimately extend an invitation to them. For other ninja clans, this matter was irrelevant to them, and how to invite them was Fugaku's biggest concern at the moment.

"Director Fugaku, actually, the reason I came today is also related to this matter," Qingguang said with a smile.

"Also related to Yashiro's wedding? Tell me about it." Judging from Qingguang's expression, Fugaku already knew that what he was about to hear would be good news.

After all, he had personally witnessed Qingguang's ability to deceive people.

It couldn't be said to be bad, but rather, he simply couldn't do it!

"Senior Saiyun wants to attend Yashiro and Akiya's wedding, and she also asked me to find a reliable Genjutsu instructor for Haruga."

"Saiyun, Kurama Saiyun?" Fugaku asked, a little surprised.

Qingguang nodded.

The past between Kurama Saiyun and Qingguang's father, Kagami Uchiha, was not a secret in the Uchiha. Fugaku had also heard about it from his father, Fugane.

Seeing Fugaku fall silent, Qingguang tentatively asked, "Director Fugaku, should we send an invitation to Senior Saiyun?"

"Hmm? Hmm! Of course, we must send one. I'll trouble you with this matter."

"As for finding a Genjutsu instructor for Haruga..."

Fugaku thought for a moment and finally made a decision.

"Let me teach her Genjutsu."

When Qingguang heard Fugaku say this, he was about to refuse, but Fugaku interrupted him, adopting an unyielding stance.

"Qingguang, whether it's the changes in the Police Department, Yashiro's wedding, or this case, you've played a crucial role. You don't need to decline. Even counting the elder generation of ninjas in the clan, my Genjutsu skills rank in the top three within the clan."

"This time, let me help you out."

Kurama Saiyun herself was a master of Genjutsu in the village. Qingguang's Genjutsu was originally taught by her. Since she entrusted Qingguang to find a Genjutsu instructor for Haruga on her behalf.

It was naturally impossible for Qingguang to do it himself. After all, if Saiyun herself couldn't solve the problem, Qingguang, as her half-disciple, would naturally have difficulty solving it.

Qingguang had already helped him resolve so many troubles, so he definitely had to help Qingguang out properly this time.

Seeing Fugaku's attitude, Qingguang finally nodded in agreement. "Alright then, I'll tell Senior Saiyun about this when I send the invitation."

"Thank you, Director."

As he spoke, Qingguang bowed slightly.

"Qingguang, between you and me, let's not use such a distant term as 'Director.' Although we are not biological brothers, we are closer than brothers."

"If you trust me, just call me Fugaku-nii."

Fugaku stood up, left his seat, and put his arm around Qingguang's shoulder.

"Okay, Fugaku-nii."

"However, during work hours, it's still best to use our official titles."

Fugaku said happily, "Ah, yes, that's right! We should use our official titles at work!"

After a few seconds of happiness, Fugaku realized another problem.

If the Kurama family could be invited, what about the other ninja clans?

Regarding this, Qingguang showed another smile that made Fugaku feel incredibly at ease.

At this moment, Fugaku realized he was saved.

In the evening, after Qingguang had arranged the patrol roster for the next day, he prepared to head to the Kurama clan's territory.

Just yesterday, he had been promoted to the head of the patrol team, a position second only to Director Fugaku in the Police Department, on par with the other team leaders.

Under normal circumstances, he only needed to be responsible for scheduling the next day's patrol roster and handling some documents.

After all, the profession of a ninja was prone to accidents. For example, Hikari, yesterday, had his eyebrows burned off while practicing Fire Release ninjutsu and took half a month off, refusing to resume patrol until his eyebrows grew back.

During this period, he planned to take on a B-rank mission to supplement his income.

Soon, Qingguang arrived at the outskirts of Konoha, in a cluster of small buildings with an old-fashioned style.

The houses here were all built of wood, and the walls of the streets were painted with various strange and grotesque demons and mythical beasts.

Knock, knock, knock.

After arriving at Kurama Saiun's house and knocking, someone quickly came to open the door.

"Qingguang, why are you here?"

The one who stepped forward to open the door was Ryuu.

"Come in quickly," Ryuu said.

Although Ryuu truly disliked Qingguang's father, Kagami, he found the child Qingguang impossible to dislike.

He would even be very happy if someone like him became his future son-in-law.

"Senior Ryuu, I'm here to deliver an invitation, so I won't be coming in."

Qingguang took out the invitation he had received from Yashiro at noon and handed it to Ryuu.

"This is...?" Ryuu glanced down at the envelope in his hand.

"This is an invitation to Yashiro and Akiya's wedding. Saiyun asked me to deliver one to her as well."

Ryuu nodded. Although he was a little displeased, he didn't say much about it. "Aren't you going to come in for a bit?"

"No, no, I still have to deliver to others later."

"Oh, right."

"I've found a tutor for Haruga. Brother Fugaku said he would personally teach Haruga Genjutsu."

This statement caused Ryuu's recent displeasure to vanish instantly, replaced by a joyful and excited smile.

Who was Fugaku?

He was the son of Fugane, the current clan head of the Uchiha, an Uchiha prodigy on par with Qingguang, and had become the head of the Police Department at a young age.

This was simply fantastic!

The key was that this person had no romantic partner yet, which was the best opportunity for the Kurama clan!

"Qingguang, thank you. I will definitely pass this on to Saiyun. I'm sure she'll be very happy when she hears this news."

Only after seeing Qingguang off did Ryuu return home and go to the living room.

"Who was that?" Saiyun was engrossed in selecting fresh chrysanthemum seeds, preparing to pick out the plumpest and roundest ones to sow for the anniversary of Kagami's death next year.

"It was Qingguang. He came to deliver an invitation. He also said that Fugaku Uchiha would personally guide Haruga's Genjutsu."

After hearing this, Saiyun remained silent for a long time, so much so that Ryuu was too scared to move.

It wasn't until about ten seconds later that she frowned slightly and replied, "I know."

Although this was the expected outcome, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed that her expectations had not been met
