The World Has Misunderstood Uchiha Shingen Far Too Much

"I'm not going," it said.

Leaf Forest is much more interesting than this place.

"Okay, then let's go back to Leaf Forest."

I just happened to learn a new trick.

Uchiha Shingen first formed a Summoning Technique and slammed it on the ground.

The smoke appeared with a bang and then dissipated, revealing a bewildered liaison frog on the ground.

"Lord Shingen?"

The liaison frog could clearly feel a pair of menacing eyes watching it from behind, and it dared not turn around.

Oh my god! A Tailed Beasts is watching me!

"What's your name again?" Uchiha Shingen suddenly realized that he didn't even know the other person's name.

"Daisuke..."

"Oh, Daisuke, do you have any other contact frogs in Hidden Leaf Village?"

"Yes... Lord Shingen, do you intend to use the Summoning Technique to return to Hidden Leaf Village?"

"That's clever. Help me contact them."

Uchiha Shingen gave the communication frog named Daisuke a thumbs up, and then he remembered the Sand Ninja. So he created a shadow Shadow Clone and had it use Shadow Clone Flying Thunder God Technique to instantly send a message.

Let's postpone poaching them for another time; after all Matatabi need to send them back as soon as possible.

After all, as long as the Joint Chunin Exams continue, he'll eventually have a chance to poach people from Sand Village to run a car dealership.

"Lord Shingen, the contact is complete," Daisuke said. "Shall we use Reverse Summoning Technique now?"

"No, wait a minute," Uchiha Shingen said.

After a while, the Shadow Clone gave feedback.

Uchiha Shingen jumped onto Matatabi's head, placed his hand on Matatabi's body, and connected with Matatabi using Chakra.

"Let's begin, Daisuke. Have them find a sufficiently open space, not in the city."

Don't worry.

Daisuke was full of confidence, even though he still dared not look back.

After a while, Daisuke said, "Lord Shingen, everything is ready. The summoning point is in the Leaf Forest."

"Let them communicate with the spirits."

"OK."

The next moment, the scenery before my eyes blurred as if it had shattered, and then instantly reformed.

It has a unique landscape and climate characteristic of Leaf Forest.

The starlight and moonlight shone down from the sky above, and the forest was serene—if one ignored the crooked trees all around.

A Toad nodded to Uchiha Shingen, then vanished with a bang.

Human Summoning Technique can transcend spatial limitations, summoning living or non-living entities from anywhere. However, ninja beasts can "bind" themselves to a certain place and will naturally return simply by being brought into summoning mode.

This is a technology that humans do not possess.

However, through the Toad of Mount Myoboku, Uchiha Shingen could transform himself into the object of summoning, which is also a form of Reverse Summoning Technique.

Back in the Leaf Forest, the Matatabi, and Uchiha Shingen sensed his elation.

So he jumped onto a tree to the side.

"Thank you for today, Matatabi." He waved to Matatabi.

Matatabi, with a proud look on its face, it held its big head high, extremely pleased with itself.

Uchiha Shingen found it quite interesting.

Without disturbing the joyful forest life Matatabi, he used the Flying Thunder God to instantly return to the village.

As soon as he appeared, he saw a group of ANBU rushing towards him.

"Lord Shingen, the Lord Hokage has urgent business with you."

"Dude, slow down. Even if it's a huge problem, a few more kicks won't make a difference." Uchiha Shingen, seeing him running like he was going to war, couldn't help but offer a word of advice before asking, "Could you tell me what's wrong?"

"Oh, it's because the village is about to sign a contract with Cloud Village, Lord Hokage would like to confirm some of the terms with you."

"Hey! You scared me." Uchiha Shingen patted the other person on the shoulder. "Look how anxious you are. Don't worry, I'm going right now. By the way... can I use the Flying Thunder God to get to the Hokage Building?"

"Yes, that's fine, the sooner the better."

"Received." Uchiha Shingen gave an OK sign, and the Flying Thunder God was activated again.

This time, he appeared at the entrance of the Hokage Building and then ran inside.

It's past closing time; the government service hall is long gone. There are no outsiders here, just administrative staff working overtime with Namikaze Minato, or Anbu Ninja.

They pretended not to see Uchiha Shingen running up to the second floor.

Although there was a sign on the wall that said "Please do not run".

Uchiha Shingen went up to the second floor and walked familiarly to the Hokage's office. The ninja guarding the door opened the door for him with practiced ease.

Uchiha Shingen said thank you and then went inside.

Oh wow, Tobirama Squad, whom we haven't seen in ages, is in there too.

Sarutobi Hiruzen switched to a different pipe, smiling as he puffed out smoke.

Utatane Koharu and seemed a little dazed, while Mitokado Homura looked the same as always.

Torifu Akimichi, with his arm in a sling, looked rather goofy.

If Uchiha Shingen hadn't witnessed him beating the Cloud Ninja like a baseball player, he might have reluctantly believed he was a simpleton.

Upon seeing Uchiha Shingen, Uchiha Fugaku, who was reading a stack of papers, smiled.

"You're back, Shingen."

He already knew that Uchiha Shingen had taken his youngest son to Ryūchi Cave to broaden his horizons, and he was quite pleased.

He didn't slack off as much as he did when he was teaching his eldest son.

However, the moment Uchiha Shingen saw Uchiha Fugaku, he was reminded of Uchiha Sasuke's performance in Ryūchi Cave.

"You're back," he said. "Chieftain, why aren't you home so late?"

Uchiha Fugaku didn't understand the implied meaning of those words; instead, he found them utterly baffling.

"How can I go home about something this important?" He handed the documents in his hand to Uchiha Shingen. "We've all seen them. You should take a look too. Aren't you the best at drafting agreements?"

Chapter Twenty-Nine: The World Misunderstands Uchiha Shingen Too Much

Uchiha Shingen was somewhat dissatisfied as he received the draft of the agreement from Uchiha Fugaku.

What do you mean by "he's best at this"?

"Clan leader, as the Shadow Attendant, you shouldn't speak ill of others."

"Uchiha Shingen said."

"How did I insult you?" Uchiha Fugaku, puzzled.

He thought to himself, "He wasn't wrong."

Isn't Uchiha Shingen now widely recognized as the one in all of Leaf Village who's best at this kind of thing?

Is this child possessed?

"What's gotten into you again?" Uchiha Fugaku with a dark face. "You're always acting strangely. Hurry up and take a look. This version has already been discussed with the Raikage's side. They're also discussing it. The amount has been set, and they have no choice. Take a look at the others and see if there's anything else you can adjust."

"Yes, Shingen, you must have misunderstood," Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a smile. "Everyone has seen your skill level; you're trustworthy."

Back then, he and Danzo went to great lengths to extract two billion ryo from the Land of Water.

Moreover, Leaf Village would only receive one billion ryo.

This amount of money seems like a lot, but for a large ninja village, it's really nothing; it's just an extra emergency fund.

Later, Uchiha Shingen took a trip to Kirigakure and, with a few words, made Leaf Village earn more than two billion yen a year directly from the Land of Water.

However, the more the people in this office approved, the more upset Uchiha Shingen felt.

This isn't the persona he wanted!

He felt it necessary to try and save himself.

"I only have a basic understanding of risk control terms, how can you say I'm the best at this?" Uchiha Shingen said. "The word 'do' sounds very unprofessional and doesn't suit my image at all."

The people in the Hokage's office were taken aback at first, then...

The audience burst into laughter!

Even Utatane Koharu, laughed.

She looked like she'd been playing video games all night and getting completely dominated, but now her smile is genuinely full of joy.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, laughing heartily, ruined another new pipe, feeling terrible about the loss, yet unable to stop laughing.

His expression was quite distorted!

Namikaze Minato kept slamming his fist on the table, laughing and talking at the same time.

"Shingen, that's hilarious! Oh my..."

Uchiha Shingen: "..."

You guys are going to laugh yourselves to death!

Looking at the agreement in his hand, Uchiha Shingen was immediately furious.

That despicable Cloud Village! His character has been so severely smeared!

Those who become Raikage are definitely not good people!

Very well, then let's use this opportunity to make a spectacular comeback.

Today he'll show these bad people what truth, goodness, and beauty really mean!

The world has misunderstood him far too much!

Uchiha Shingen carefully read the agreement.

Good heavens, the compensation is 10 billion taels! You guys are really asking for trouble!

"Lord Hokage, isn't this compensation too high?" Uchiha Shingen's righteous face came online, and he immediately confronted the Hokage.

"Huh?" Namikaze Minato was taken aback. "Is that too high? After all, I think Kumogakure is quite wealthy. I originally asked for 15 billion ryo, but the Third already lowered it."

"As expected of the Third, you are a kind and generous person. No wonder even your enemies respect you." Uchiha Shingen immediately praised him.

Sarutobi Hiruzen blushed; he felt that Uchiha Shingen was subtly criticizing him, but he had no proof.

That kid is so petty. It's just that everyone didn't cooperate well with you, and you laughed.

But he wasn't the only one who laughed, so why is it only him being criticized?

"Lord Hokage, why don't you learn from the Third and be more lenient? Enemies are people too, they need to eat. If you keep doing this, they won't be able to pay, and we'll have to fight again, which will lead to more sacrifices." Uchiha Shingen sighed. "Of course, if Leaf Village is threatened, I personally would be duty-bound to fight, but war always involves sacrifices. We want peace, not war."

"Oh." Namikaze Minato expressionlessly, "So, what do you think we should do?"

"Well then, you're the Hokage, your word is your bond. The Raikage himself has already accepted this amount, so it wouldn't be good to change it again. Let's switch to installment payments."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the office looked disappointed.

It's as if to say, "That's it? You've run out of ideas?"

Uchiha Shingen pretended not to see it; he had nothing in common with bad people.

"Of course, such a large amount, even in installments, is still a lot. The association has recently launched a new product that is particularly suitable for organizations with tight cash flow in the event of such large-scale repayments."

Everyone perked up, knowing that this little rascal was about to deliver some valuable information.

Whether the association actually has this thing or not is irrelevant; since Uchiha Shingen said it does, then it's as if it doesn't exist.

At this moment, Uchiha Shingen had already prepared himself emotionally, and changed to a compassionate "I'm thinking of you all along" emoji.
