I, Nara Rokumei, Am Not Afraid of My Wife!
Nara Rokumei walked downstairs, and just as Hatake Sakumo was about to speak, Nara Rokumei glared at him.
Good grief, you little brat Uchiha Kō is here, and you didn't even send a text or make a phone call to let me know. Now Uchiha Kō has caught me red-handed and given me a good scolding!
Hatake Sakumo seemed to have thought of something; he scratched his head and chuckled.
Nara Rokumei stopped looking at him and instead looked at Fallen Heaven Invincible and Shenmo Luanwu.
"Get to the point, stop making a scene. Do you think the Hokage Building is a marketplace?" Nara Rokumei said with an unfriendly expression.
You have to treat people the way you want to be. Having learned about Uchiha Kō's attitude, Nara Rokumei doesn't intend to treat these two well either.
"Lord Lu Ming, please do us justice!" Fallen Heaven Invincible cried out.
Uchiha Kō upstairs clicked his tongue and said, "Why are you yelling so loudly?"
"Oh? Make the decision? What decision?" Nara Rokumei asked again, feigning ignorance.
At this moment, Shenmo Luanwu stepped forward and relayed the words of Uchiha Kō from the Konoha Academy: "Lord Lu Ming, you are also a member of the ninja clan. We shed blood for Konoha, and our ancestors sacrificed themselves for Konoha. How can the Lord Hokage possibly allow the release of C-rank Ninjutsu today?!"
Nara Rokumei appeared cheerful on the surface, but inwardly he was cursing, "Who the hell are you a ninja? You dance, throw a Shuriken, and kill someone, and you call yourself a ninja? I suggest you reconsider your words!"
"Ahem, I understand the situation. Do you two have any further questions?" Nara Rokumei asked with a smile.
The two exchanged a glance. Seriously, Uchiha Kō has already started to undermine the foundation of our ninja clan, how come you're not worried at all?
However, the two did not expect that for the Hyuga, Ino-Shika-Cho, Aburame, Uzumaki, it was just a C-rank Ninjutsu, and they had dozens of such Ninjutsu in their family.
The high-definition clan chief and the uncensored clan chief exchanged a glance, noticing something amiss. So, without saying a word, they began walking back towards the clan headquarters.
Seeing that the two simpletons didn't react, Nara Rokumei didn't bother with them anymore. "It's alright, you can go back now. There will be a meeting about this soon, and then you'll see how short-sighted you all are."
Haha, these days, a family with only one or two Ninjutsu can call themselves a ninja clan. That's ridiculous. They clearly profited, but they say it harmed their interests. With this kind of thinking, they'll never become a great clan.
Finally, Nara Rokumei entered the Hokage Building, followed closely by Hatake Sakumo. The two remained silent as they went upstairs and knocked on the door.
"Come in." Uchiha Kō's voice carried calmly as the two pushed open the door and slowly entered.
"Lord Hokage!" x2
Uchiha Kō nodded, then looked at Nara Rokumei. "I'm curious about what you just said, Lu Ming. Why did you say they were short-sighted?" Uchiha Kō's eyes lit up, and he asked expectantly.
"Reporting to the Lord Hokage, those few are just some small clans that have earned some merit on the battlefield and been rewarded with C-rank Ninjutsu. They are complacent because of one or two C-rank Ninjutsu, but little do they know that in our eyes, they are nothing special."
"On the contrary, the Lord Hokage is wise and powerful, willing to open up C-rank attack Ninjutsu so that everyone can learn at least three attack-type Ninjutsu. If I were a Fallen Angel or a member of the God-Demon clan, I would laugh in my sleep!"
"Instead of spouting nonsense about undermining the foundation of the ninja clan," Nara Rokumei stated his analysis from an objective perspective.
Uchiha Kō grinned from ear to ear. "That's right, they're all acting like they've lost out! I gave you Ninjutsu so you could learn it, and you're still saying I'm undermining your foundation? Don't be so shameless!"
"Lu Ming is right, Breeze. Write this down; we'll be discussing it at the meeting in a couple of days," Uchiha Kō, looking at Nara Rokumei.
"Yes, Lord Hokage, I'll write it down right away." Then, Nara Seifu glanced at the clan leader, Nara Rokumei. As expected of the clan leader, he knew Uchiha Kō's weaknesses so well and knew what the Lord Hokage liked to hear!
"You've really earned your Hokage's support!" Nara Seifu thought to himself.
The two brothers Nara Seifu and Nara Meigetsu Nara Rokumei; they need to learn a lot from them.
Lu Ming smiled; these two juniors from the clan were quite interesting.
After chatting with Nara Rokumei Uchiha Kō, Nara Rokumei learned that he had to continue working there, reviewing government affairs for Uchiha Kō.
His grin turned into a grimace, visibly drooping. "No, Xiao, I have to tell you..."
"Three times the salary, plus a cell phone, half in cash and half in a salary card," Uchiha Kō said calmly.
"I love working overtime so much, please let me work this shift! And could you give me double the cash or double the salary card?" Nara Rokumei's eyes were shining.
"Fine, look at you, so pathetic." Uchiha Kō couldn't help but chuckle.
"Alright, please leave, Lord Hokage. I need to get to work." With that, Nara Rokumei shooed Uchiha Kō away, sat down with a serious expression, and began reviewing government documents.
Uchiha Kō laughed heartily, "Then I won't keep you from making money. I heard the Nara Clan is afraid of their wives, I didn't expect it to be true."
Nara Rokumei looked up at Uchiha Kō. "I need to clarify beforehand, I'm not afraid of my wife. I'm just helping our Lord Hokage with official business. She's just a woman, what else could she possibly..."
Before he could finish speaking, Nara Rokumei's phone rang. The message read, "My dear wife, mwah!" Uchiha Kō raised an eyebrow, seemingly wanting to watch how Nara Rokumei would handle the situation.
Unexpectedly Nara Rokumei slammed down the phone. "See what I told you? Owl Lord, I can answer her calls if I want, and I can ignore them if I don't! I'm awesome!"
Uchiha Kō glanced at it, gave a thumbs up, and exclaimed, "Awesome! Sakumo, our Lu Ming is awesome!" After saying that, the two left the Hokage Building.
Once he was sure the two were really far away, he hurriedly took out his phone and made a call. The call was answered, and he said in a trembling voice.
"Hey~ Honey~ Hmm, I'm working overtime. What? I'm always working overtime? Ugh, don't even mention it. Ever since we got married, Uchiha Kō has been a real slacker, neglecting his duties like a king. Plus, he's incredibly stingy, only paying double his salary a day!"
"Okay, okay, I'll transfer it to you!" Nara Rokumei said, his eyes filled with pain. To appease his wife, he said he would pay double his salary and keep a third for himself.
"Sigh, working overtime for a pittance," Nara Rokumei said helplessly, but his hand honestly transferred two-thirds of the money out of his salary card.
I slumped onto my office desk, but thinking about it, it wasn't so bad. After all, I don't need to do that every day anymore. As I get older, it's really hard to keep up, especially since my wife is getting more and more vigorous.
Thinking of this, Nara Rokumei got up and began to review government affairs. Hmm, this job is still easier.
