"Father, will you support Uchiha Itachi?"
Watching Uchiha Kei's departing figure, the little girl Hyuga Hanabi frowned deeply.
Although Uchiha Itachi was her idol, compared to her clan, he was simply insignificant.
Support Uchiha Itachi...
Will this cause unrest in the village?
After all, the Third Hokage is still in power.
Hyuga Hiashi remained silent.
A long time.
Whether they support it or not doesn't really have much impact on them.
Hyuga Hiashi's voice was filled with emotion.
"Them?"
Hyuga Hanabi tilted her head slightly, a look of confusion in her eyes.
The people my father spoke of...
Are you referring to the Uchiha Clan?
Hyuga Hiashi walked to the door and looked at the scenery outside.
"They are Uchiha Kei, Uchiha Itachi, and..."
"Shisui!"
Hyuga Hanabi opened her small mouth in surprise.
"Shisui? Uchiha Shisui of the Anbu?"
Hyuga Hiashi nodded.
"Yes, Uchiha Kei is right, they separated from the Uchiha Clan."
"In that case, Uchiha Itachi would serve as the figurehead, Uchiha Kei would provide the funding, Uchiha Shisui..."
"The Anbu, the Hokage's direct subordinate force, are responsible for keeping things stable!"
Hyuga Hiashi's expression was very complicated.
I feel conflicted, yet also somewhat wistful.
These three youngsters, the oldest of Uchiha Shisui, is only 18 years old.
The youngest Uchiha Kei...
He's only 11 years old!
These three little guys have unknowingly become a force in Konoha!
"In that case... there's no way to stop Uchiha Itachi from becoming the Fifth Hokage?"
Hyuga Hanabi's face was filled with shock.
Hyuga Hiashi did not comment.
Obstruction?
How to block it?
Given Uchiha Itachi's current popularity in the village, coupled with Uchiha Kei's wealth...
Once the Third Hokage steps down, Uchiha Itachi will undoubtedly become the Fifth Hokage!
With Uchiha Shisui keeping things in check by the Anbu, even the ambitious Danzo would have no choice but to watch helplessly.
Not to mention...
A glint of light flashed in Hyuga Hiashi's eyes.
The Konoha Daily, which suddenly appeared three years ago...
This was probably one of Uchiha Kei's methods, wasn't it?
Thinking of this, Hyuga Hiashi couldn't help but sigh.
Eleven years old...
What a monstrous existence!
Hinata Hanabi rested her chin on her hand, recalling Uchiha Kei from Hyuga Hanabi.
Konoha's God of Wealth...
As my father said.
Do such terrifying people really exist?
As Uchiha Kei walked home, notification sounds kept ringing in his head.
After a quick look, it turned out that they were all provided by Hyuga Hiashi and Hyuga Hanabi.
Humming a little tune contentedly, Uchiha Kei's steps became much lighter.
It seems the Hyuga Clan has been dealt with.
Even if they don't support Uchiha Itachi, they probably won't support anyone else.
I will not express my opinion if I do not support it.
This must be the final decision of the Hyuga Clan.
Stepping into his small courtyard, Uchiha Kei stretched comfortably.
Just as I was about to take off my shoes, the door suddenly opened.
"You're back."
Mei Terumi looked at him with a smile.
"Huh? You haven't left yet?"
Uchiha Kei.
This girl...
Am I really going to have to spend the night at his place?
Do you really want me to leave?
Mei Terumi's alluring face showed a hint of unease, and a flicker of anger shone in her eyes.
What's wrong with this young man?
She was such a beautiful woman, yet she willingly stayed overnight at his house.
Why does he seem so unwilling?
"Yeah, what's your business in my house?"
Uchiha Kei said matter-of-factly.
They're not related, and besides, Shisui might show up at any time. When he sees Mei Terumi, he'll probably laugh at him.
"You!"
Mei Terumi was broken; her majestic, round body undulated restlessly.
"Gulp..."
Uchiha Kei stared wide-eyed, an unnatural blush creeping onto his face.
"Then... you stay here, I'm going to find Naruto!"
After saying that, without waiting for Mei Terumi's reaction, he dashed away.
Seeing Uchiha Kei in disarray, Mei Terumi's cold expression vanished in an instant.
"Pfft."
A beautiful smile appeared on her face.
"What an idiot."
Walking through the Uchiha Clan Compound, Uchiha Kei wandered aimlessly.
I definitely can't go home anymore.
If I went back, I'd probably be swallowed whole today.
He's only eleven years old...
He's still a baby!
Going to find Naruto was just an excuse.
Naruto is probably somewhere eating right now.
So where should we go?
Uchiha Kei stopped in his tracks, looking somewhat troubled.
The Shisui should be on duty in Anbu.
Itachi at this time...
I looked at the sky, which was starting to darken.
He's probably keeping Izumi company...
He wouldn't want to be a high-powered third wheel.
Where should we go then...?
Just then, a figure stopped beside him.
"Jing? What are you doing here?"
Sasuke said with some surprise.
"There's nowhere else to go."
Uchiha Kei rubbed his face in frustration.
That Mei Terumi, she actually took over his house!
Otherwise, he'd probably be leisurely drinking tea at home right now...
"Nowhere to go?"
Sasuke tilted his head in confusion.
Uchiha Kei sighed and glanced at Sasuke.
Suddenly, an idea popped into my head.
"Sasuke, are you busy right now?"
Uchiha Kei stared at him with shining eyes.
Sasuke shook his head in confusion.
He just went to the grove and practiced Shuriken for a long time.
With the Sharingan's enhancement, his Shuriken became even more accurate.
Do you remember me saying I had a surprise for you?
Uchiha Kei smiled innocently.
Sasuke's lips twitched.
It's a surprise, but what's with that smile?
Trying to scam him?
Ignoring his strange expression, Uchiha Kei leaned close to his ear and said, "I have a ninjutsu that's perfect for you. Want to learn it?"
Sasuke nodded hastily.
He urgently needs strong capabilities.
Even if I get ripped off, it's worth it!
"I'll teach you, but..."
Uchiha Kei a mysterious smile.
"You need to give me a room to stay in tonight!"
Sasuke's family is the head family of the Uchiha Clan, so they naturally have many places to live.
He scouted the place when I went to see Uchiha Fugaku last time!
"No problem!"
Sasuke agreed immediately.
I thought it was some kind of exorbitant request, but it turned out to be just finding a place to stay for the night.
This requirement is incredibly simple!
"Make a deal!"
Uchiha Kei laughed and pulled Sasuke.
"Let's go, to the grove!"
Sasuke paused, glancing at the darkening sky.
"Now?"
"Well, if you want to be stronger than Naruto, you have to work harder than him!"
Uchiha Kei.
"He probably doesn't know where he's eating right now. You have to try your best at times like this!"
Sasuke's mind was a little muddled.
But in his opinion, Uchiha Kei's words made a lot of sense!
So what if I get yelled at for coming home late?
What does that matter compared to real strength?
It means nothing!
Thinking of this, Sasuke nodded heavily.
"Let's go, let's go!"
With a broad smile, Uchiha Kei pulled Sasuke along and headed towards the grove.
Today...
I have a place to stay~
Uchiha Kei was overjoyed.
