I'll Be Right Back / Uchiha Fugaku's Dōjutsu

"What about after that? Can I find a job on my own?" Bai felt that although this older sister was from Kirigakure, she wasn't fierce, so he mustered up his courage and asked.

"You're still young." Terumi Mei quite liked Haku, who was so sensible at such a young age, and couldn't help but pat his head. "Besides, what if you can become a ninja? Then there's even less to worry about."

Terumi Mei glanced at the figure in front of her and silently added a sentence to her mind.

Even if you can't become a ninja, that person won't let you suffer.

She was about to continue admiring the scenery of Hidden Leaf Village, which was different from her hometown, when she noticed that Ao next to her seemed to be in a bad mood.

"Brother Qing, what's wrong?"

"Ah no, I'm just amazed by the prosperity of Leaf Village." Ao smiled.

There doesn't seem to be any problem.

But Terumi Mei understood after a moment's thought.

Green's right eye.

Although he was wearing an eye patch, this was Hidden Leaf Village, and he could encounter the Hyuga Clan at any moment.

The Sealing Jutsu on this eye patch is only to prevent others from taking away the Byakugan, not to prevent others from discovering that there is a Byakugan inside, because that's impossible.

Let alone the Hyuga Clan, even those two Uchiha Clan in front of me could spot the Byakugan under the eyepatch at a glance.

The Sharingan's ability to see is enough, not to mention the Byakugan.

Now that you've seen the Byakugan, no wonder you're nervous.

The blue color represents the second gesture of goodwill from Karatachi Yagura, and is also one of the bargaining chips in the negotiations.

Out of respect for Karatachi Yagura, the Hokage wouldn't forcibly withdraw his Byakugan upon meeting him, but if he encountered the Hyuga Clan, things might change.

If it were a ninja clan from Hidden Mist Village, one of their young members would surely yell "Old thief, prepare to die!" and charge at them.

Terumi Mei didn't really believe that the ninja clans of Leaf Village and Hidden Mist Village were that different, but she trusted Karatachi Yagura.

Ao was nervous, but as soon as Karatachi Yagura mentioned it, he immediately followed.

After walking through a particularly bustling street, he saw a building.

A large round emblem hangs above, with the bright red character for "fire" printed in the very center.

We've arrived at the Hokage Building.

Chapter Three: I'll Be Back Soon

When they left the Hokage Building, only Sakurako and Haku remained with Uchiha Shingen.

As for Karatachi Yagura, Uchiha Fugaku, the Kage's assistant, will arrange everything and accompany him throughout.

If you're asking about what happened in Kirigakure during this time...

Logically speaking, Uchiha Shisui was the rightful envoy, so if anyone should be asked, it should be Shisui; he's about to leave work anyway.

Before that, he would first make sure Sakurako and Shiro were settled.

Namikaze Minato was a straightforward person. In the Hokage's office, he waved his hand and said, "Shingen- kun, you can do whatever you want, however it's convenient for you."

Since that's the case, then he won't stand on ceremony.

Bai Ke is a genius, and geniuses should be nurtured right under our noses.

Although he failed to recruit Kimimaro this time, it doesn't matter. He can get one more card at a time. He needs to be patient and not rush things.

First, he made arrangements for the siblings, then presented a generous gift to the clan chief, and finally invited Tekka and the others for a drinking party. This was his perfect plan for the day.

"Sakurako, Shiro, I'll take you to meet a very kind old man," Uchiha Shingen said to the siblings.

Sakurako and Shiro were still a little bewildered because of their unfamiliar surroundings. Just now, in front of Namikaze Minato, the two of them were so nervous that they didn't dare to breathe.

Don't be fooled by Namikaze Minato in the village, always joking and laughing with the villagers. This is just the village; everyone knows each other all the time.

Outside the village, the nickname "Yellow Flash" was given by feeding people heads; it represented countless murders.

Therefore, despite Namikaze Minato's very kind and gentle manner, Sakurako and Haku were still very nervous. Haku was nervous simply because he saw Sakurako's nervousness, but Sakurako was genuinely afraid.

The only Konoha Ninja she is not afraid of now is Uchiha Shingen, and she feels only gratitude towards Uchiha Shingen.

"Come, take my hand." Uchiha Shingen extended his hand to the two of them.

Sakura took his hand without hesitation.

Seeing his sister like this, Haku reached out and grabbed Uchiha Shingen's other hand.

Suddenly, the street disappeared before their eyes, replaced by a house.

They found themselves in another place.

Uchiha Shingen released his grip and went to knock on the door.

This is Uchiha Setsuna's home.

Uchiha Fugaku will definitely be home very late today, so the only option for finding a place to live is to ask Uchiha Setsuna.

In theory, given Uchiha Shingen's current status within the Uchiha Clan, he could easily make his own arrangements, but he won't do that.

He never skips procedures when it comes to matters involving the family's operational mechanisms.

I knocked on the door, and after a while, I heard footsteps coming from inside.

"Who is it?" The door opened, Uchiha Setsuna stood in the doorway.

Although he held the position of elder, Uchiha Setsuna only had a wife and a daughter who was already married. He was also in excellent health, and Uchiha Shingen had never seen him hire any servants since he was a child.

"Oh, it's you, kid." Uchiha Setsuna's voice was loud. "Wife! Go make some tea, we have guests!"

"You old codger, Tenten howling like that, can you keep it down? It's not like I can't hear you." An old woman complained as she came out, then saw Uchiha Shingen standing at the door and chuckled, "Oh! Isn't this little Shingen? What brings you here today?"

"You're still in such good health," Uchiha Shingen with a grin. "I've come to report to Uchiha Setsuna."

"Sigh, what's with calling him elder? He's just an old man."

"What's wrong with calling me elder? I am an elder." Uchiha Setsuna snorted, then looked at Sakurako and Haku behind Uchiha Shingen.

Upon seeing this, Sakurako hurriedly bowed nervously.

As the Uchiha Clan's number one enthusiast of unofficial history, the well-informed Uchiha Setsuna recognized this as the etiquette of the Hidden Mist Village Clan.

"Last time Sand Village, this time it's Hidden Mist Village?" He clicked his tongue, looking at Uchiha Shingen. "I know exactly what you're here for."

"It's just that the clan leader is too busy," Uchiha Shingen chuckled dryly.

"Alright, alright, I don't care about your young people's affairs." Uchiha Setsuna gave him a disdainful look. "Come on in. Hey, you two girls, come in too, have a seat."

"Elder, Bai is a boy."

"Huh? Sigh, that Tekka kid is really ugly..."

Bai is a man, what does that have to do with whether Tekka is good-looking or not?

Wasn't it because he asked you for money when he was a kid and, when he didn't get it, he killed the flowers you were growing?

You still remember?

That old man is so petty; Uchiha Fugaku much more magnanimous.

Tekka was also a good buddy. Every time Uchiha Shingen took out Fugaku's calligraphy to show off, Tekka would not only laugh the loudest, but also show it to others. Occasionally, Fugaku would catch him in the act, but no matter how Uchiha Fugaku tried to get information out of him, he would insist that he had done it himself.

So much so that later Uchiha Fugaku simply stopped asking and took him directly to the training ground, saying he wanted to guide his training, and beat him until he screamed in pain.

With brothers like these, what more could one ask for!

Taking Sakurako and Haku into Uchiha Setsuna's house, and drinking the tea brewed by the old lady next door, Uchiha Shingen truly felt that nowhere was as good as Leaf Village.

Outside, he's a ninja; here, he's treated like a child.

Although there were awkward moments, it was also heartwarming.

After chatting with Uchiha Setsuna and his wife for a while, Uchiha Setsuna generously wrote a note, allowing Uchiha Shingen to go to the clan to collect his house.

Upon receiving news of their new house, Uchiha Shingen showered the couple with compliments, making them beam with joy. He then quickly took Sakurako and Haku to look at the house.

The house wasn't far, next to Uchiha Fugaku.

The clansmen who accompanied them also brought a cleaning team. The group worked enthusiastically to clean and move furniture. After most of the day, when everyone finished, Sakurako and Bai simply carried their bags... no, they moved in empty-handed.

This treatment made the siblings very uncomfortable.

Sakurako felt like she didn't know what to do with her hands.

The Uchiha Clan was completely different from what she had imagined. This place was so different from Kirigakure, and she felt that her past experience was useless.

As one of the most prestigious clans in the Ninja World, a powerful clan whose reputation is well-known even to people as far away as Hidden Mist Village, the atmosphere within the clan is completely different from that of the Yuki Clan.

In Hidden Mist Village, the Uchiha Clan is portrayed as powerful, aloof, and ruthless.

The Sharingan, also known as the Copy Eye or Genjutsu Eye, is far more famous than the powerful Ice Release bloodline, and is said to be invincible in one-on-one combat. Its fighting style is known for its elegance and cruelty.

When Sakurako was told she was to serve the White Ghost of Leaf Village, she imagined Uchiha Shingen to be like this. Although she found out it wasn't like that at all, she just assumed it was an exception.

However, the elders of the Uchiha Clan were very kind to her and Haku.

After this incident, it seems that the entire Uchiha Clan is pretty much the same.

Everyone was very kind to her and Bai.

So, in a daze, she was led into the house by Uchiha Shingen, who showed her each room and explained the layout of the Uchiha Clan Compound, where to buy things, and how much living expenses she would receive each month.

"Don't overthink it." Uchiha Shingen noticed Sakurako's unease. "The living expenses are provided by the village. You are all special talents and receive this kind of treatment."

"But I didn't do anything..." Sakurako said timidly.

"That's just how the world is." Uchiha Shingen shrugged. "Sometimes it's not because of what you did, but because of what your ancestors did. The Yuki Clan deserves this treatment."

Seeing that Sakurako had somewhat recovered, he nodded in satisfaction.

"Don't worry about anything, just live a good life and nurture Haku. In two years, he'll be able to go to the Ninja Academy."

Shiro tugged at Uchiha Shingen's sleeve, looked up at him, and said very seriously, "But my mom and dad aren't ninjas."

"It's nothing. My parents aren't ninjas either." Uchiha Shingen squatted down and pinched Haku's nose. "We all have hidden power within us. Some people can use it, and some can't. Your parents might be able to use it too, but Kirigakure didn't have the time to let them keep trying."

Bai seemed to understand but didn't quite, yet he still nodded.

"Alright, you guys get to know each other well. I'll take you out to eat later and show you around the streets." After saying that, Uchiha Shingen turned around and prepared to leave with a somewhat excited expression.

"Shingen, where are you going?" Sakurako asked instinctively, then immediately regretted it.

How could she interfere with what Uchiha Shingen was going to do?

Is that something she should be asking? Is she crazy?

"Just call me Shingen- kun." Uchiha Shingen rubbed his hands together, very excited. "The clan leader invited me to his house, I'll be right back."

Chapter Four: Uchiha Fugaku's Dōjutsu

Stepping out of the room, Uchiha Shingen immediately saw the Uchiha Fugaku next door.

He looked at the sky; the sun was shining brightly.

It feels a little strange not to be on Taobao so late at night.

But it doesn't matter, since Uchiha Fugaku isn't home anyway.

I don't remember when it started, but Uchiha Shingen had a particular fondness for finding the words that Uchiha Fugaku treasured like precious gems, and then hiding them for him again.

It was only after the unexpected event of the Tekka plan that some of Uchiha Fugaku's original calligraphy works ended up scattered throughout the village.

This really wasn't intentional; he just talks nonsense all the time.

Tekka's beatings weren't entirely unjustified; after all, he was the only one who kept getting caught red-handed and even lost the characters...

Every word that slipped through the fingers of Tekka Huo...

Strolling to the door of Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Shingen knocked first.

I knocked for a while, but no one answered.

"Is nobody here...?" Uchiha Shingen sighed. "Mikoto really understands me and the clan leader too well."

He finished speaking in one breath and then boldly climbed over the wall and went inside.

There really wasn't a single person there.
