The Uchiha Great Elder's Scheme! [Please Bookmark, Please Send Flowers~]

Hikaru looked up at Tsunade and smiled as he nodded. "What, you want to come too?"

Instead of answering, Tsunade asked curiously,

"I'm curious. Why do you go to the Training Ground? There's a training area within the clan, and clan elders can guide you there, can't they?"

Instead of using the perfectly good clan training grounds, he insisted on squeezing into the public Training Ground with ordinary ninja. Hikaru's behavior was quite baffling.

"Ha~~~~"

Hikaru yawned, wondering why the teacher had not arrived yet, and replied flatly, "I don't like people telling me what to do. Is that reason enough?"

"Bring me breakfast tomorrow. I want a meat pie!"

After saying that to Hikaru, Tsunade sat properly, just as the teacher entered the classroom.

Bring you a meat pie?!

Hikaru froze for a moment. Looking at Tsunade's cute profile, he had no idea what the girl was thinking. The Senju Clan was clearly trying to keep Tsunade from getting close to him, yet this girl was asking him to bring her a meat pie!!!

Finally, she could sleep in a little longer tomorrow.

If Hikaru had known what Tsunade was thinking, he probably would have spat out blood. There was none of the messy stuff Hikaru had imagined. Tsunade merely wanted to sleep a little longer.

As for the warnings from the clan elders, Tsunade did not take them to heart at all.

What meaningless clan grudges? They were no fun at all. Don't doubt it—Tsunade was just that willful, at least for now.

Forget it. After pondering for a while and still failing to figure out what Tsunade was thinking, Hikaru simply stopped bothering. It was just a small meat pie, hardly any trouble. If she wanted to eat one, then she could eat one.

Poor Jiraiya got slapped by Tsunade. In the end, even the teacher could not stand watching anymore and sent Jiraiya to the hospital.

"Uchiha Hikaru!!!"

After school, Hikaru still went to the Training Ground first. His training lasted until nightfall before he returned home, only to find an uninvited guest waiting there.

"Captain."

Hikaru was puzzled. Why had the captain come to his home instead of staying with the Guard Division? Had he done something that caught the Uchiha higher-ups' attention?

But nothing like that seemed to have happened. Hikaru had not even shown his Sharingan to anyone.

"Mm."

The captain looked down at Hikaru, a trace of satisfaction flashing through his eyes. Though he worked in the Police Department, he mostly handled certain clan affairs. Most children would feel intimidated upon seeing him.

Yet Hikaru remained calm and composed, without a hint of fear or impropriety.

This child was not bad!

That was the evaluation the captain silently gave Hikaru.

"Your recent performance has been good. The Great Elder asked me to tell you that the Uchiha Clan stands behind you in all matters. You need not worry about interference or opposition from other clans. To that end, the Great Elder has specially permitted you to enter the Clan Shrine and choose two suitable ninjutsu as a reward."

"Kid, make good use of this opportunity. Go to the Clan Shrine whenever you have time."

The captain did not seem interested in chatting with Hikaru. Once he had conveyed the Great Elder's message, he left immediately.

Watching the direction in which he departed, Hikaru stood there for a long, long time. Then an imperceptible sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. Do you really think I'm an idiot?!

This was obviously the clan encouraging Uchiha Hikaru to win over Tsunade. What bullshit. They said they would back him up? What a scheme. Too bad he was not stupid. Still, being allowed to enter the Clan Shrine and choose two ninjutsu as a reward was an unexpected gain.

Only now they were talking about backing him up? What the hell had they been doing earlier?

It was easy to guess what the clan's Great Elder was thinking. This so-called support was meant to disgust the Senju Clan. On the surface, the Uchiha Clan and the Senju Clan were already getting along peacefully, but behind the scenes, their conflict had never stopped. If people from the two clans got together, hehe~~the consequences would be severe!!!!

And now they were supporting Hikaru in pursuing Tsunade. Were they not plainly treating Hikaru like a five-year-old child, like some fool?

Tsunade's reaction made it obvious that the Senju Clan had been constantly persuading her not to get close to him. Once he took the initiative and got involved with her, the Senju Clan would definitely be the one embarrassed. In matters like this, women were always the ones who lost out.

What a scheme!
