Chapter 28

"I'm going to settle the score with Danzo."

The more Uzumaki Akira thought about it, the angrier he became. He simply could not swallow this insult.

"Forget it. There's no evidence proving Danzo did it; we're only guessing. Besides, even if you could prove it, you still couldn't do anything to Danzo."

Liu Feng stopped Uzumaki Akira. Going to Danzo would not only fail to harm Danzo—Uzumaki Akira might even suffer a huge loss himself.

"Do you really want Kushina to become a Jinchuriki?"

"No. I will never let Kushina become a Jinchuriki. If Konoha insists on making Kushina a Jinchuriki, then my Uzumaki clan will simply leave Konoha."

Uzumaki Akira was utterly devoted to his daughter. Naturally, he would never let Kushina become a War Weapon, even if it meant falling out with the Third Hokage.

The Third Hokage could not possibly fall out with the Uzumaki clan. If Uzumaki Akira firmly refused, someone else would definitely be chosen as the Jinchuriki.

"Actually, I don't think it's very likely that the Third Hokage will make Kushina a Jinchuriki."

Liu Feng spoke to Uzumaki Akira.

"Why?" Uzumaki Akira froze when he heard Liu Feng's words, then asked.

"It's simple. Kushina is too close to me. Based on that alone, she can't possibly be chosen as the Jinchuriki in the end."

No matter how talented Kushina was, Hiruzen Sarutobi would never allow someone so close to the Uchiha family to become a Jinchuriki.

"Then why did the Third Hokage tell me that he hoped Kushina would become a Jinchuriki?" Uzumaki Akira looked at Liu Feng in confusion.

"He probably has some other scheme in mind."

Liu Feng's eyes flickered. He felt that Hiruzen Sarutobi was testing Uzumaki Akira.

If Uzumaki Akira agreed to let Kushina become a Jinchuriki, it would mean he had handed his daughter over to Konoha and that, in his heart, he supported Konoha and the Hokage.

If not, then it depended on what Hiruzen Sarutobi thought.

"Since you rejected him so decisively, Kushina probably won't become a Jinchuriki candidate. But you need to watch out for the Uzumaki clan's internal affairs."

Liu Feng's words made Uzumaki Akira's gaze sharpen. He was no fool; he understood what Liu Feng meant.

Although the Uzumaki clan had entered Konoha, did Hiruzen Sarutobi truly trust them completely?

Especially after Hiruzen Sarutobi proposed making Kushina a Jinchuriki and he had directly refused.

"If the Third Hokage tries to win over other members of the Uzumaki clan, and succeeds, then your position as Clan Head may not remain secure."

Liu Feng was giving Uzumaki Akira a reminder. After all, if something happened to the Uzumaki clan, it would do Liu Feng no good either.

Putting himself in the Third Hokage's position, if Clan Head Uzumaki Akira could not be trusted and was not one of his own, Liu Feng would also find a way to split the Uzumaki clan from within.

"Kushina may not be coming back for the next few days, but she's safe with the Uchiha family, so you don't need to worry."

After talking with Uzumaki Akira for a little longer, Liu Feng left.

Upon returning to the Uchiha Clan Compound, Liu Feng let out a sigh.

"I suppose the Uzumaki clan may end up in the same situation as the Uchiha family."

Their internal stability was weak. The current Uchiha family was also riddled with conflicts, the greatest being the conflict between his grandfather and the Uchiha Clan Head's branch.

His grandfather, Uchiha Sou, wanted him to become the next Clan Head, but how could the current Uchiha Clan Head allow that? He definitely wanted his own son, Uchiha Fugaku, to become the next Clan Head.

The Uchiha were now divided into two factions. One supported Liu Feng becoming the next Clan Head, while the other supported Uchiha Fugaku becoming the next Clan Head.

Actually, the current Clan Head was still young and strong. It would be a long time before the next Clan Head took office.

"Uzumaki Akira is an ally to me. It wasn't easy to save the Uzumaki clan, so I should help him when necessary."

"Forget it. Why think so much? Strength is what matters most. Power speaks louder than anything else. As long as I'm strong enough, the Uchiha won't be exterminated in the future."

Having become an Uchiha and enjoyed the Uchiha family's resources, Liu Feng was certainly not an ungrateful person. He would never allow the Uchiha to be exterminated in the future. At the very least, those who supported him could not die.

When he arrived at Mikoto's home and smelled the aroma of food, a smile appeared on Liu Feng's face.

Mikoto had just come out of the kitchen. Her eyes lit up when she saw Liu Feng enter. "The meal's just ready. Sit down and eat quickly. They're all your favorites."

"Mikoto really is suited to being a virtuous wife and loving mother," Liu Feng said with a smile.

Mikoto's cheeks flushed red at his words.

"You're teasing me again."

"I'm not teasing you. I'm serious. Oh, and Uncle Cloud told me before to prepare a bride price and propose."

"R-Really?"

Mikoto's voice was so soft that Liu Feng could barely hear her.

"Hey, are you two going to eat or not? If you don't, I'll eat it all myself and leave none for you!" Kushina shouted fiercely at Mikoto and Liu Feng.

"You're already like a Hot Pepper at such a young age. I'm afraid you won't be able to get married when you grow up."

"Hmph, if I can't get married, I'll marry you."

"Hehe, I wouldn't dare take you. I know you have a nickname at school: Bloody Red Pepper."

"Damn it, don't mention Bloody Red Pepper."

Kushina glared furiously at Liu Feng. Bloody Red Pepper was not a flattering nickname. Whoever dared call her that at school would definitely get a beating from her, which only made the nickname spread even further.

Looking at that hateful Liu Feng, she grew angrier the more she thought about it. Finally, a wicked impulse rose in her heart. She grabbed his hand and bit down hard.

Chapter 28

In the System Space, Liu Feng was considering whose Projection to challenge.

There were still six he could challenge: [Ten-Tails Projection], [Senju Hashirama Projection], [Ōnoki Projection], [Uchiha Madara (Eternal Mangekyo) Projection], [Senju Tobirama Projection], and [Mangekyō Uchiha Liu Feng Projection].

"The Ten-Tails, Senju Hashirama, and Uchiha Madara—I definitely can't beat any of those three."

What Liu Feng coveted most was the Ten-Tails' power. If he could obtain all of the Ten-Tails' Chakra, wouldn't he ascend to the Six Paths level in a single step?
