Walk out from Strategic Intelligence Division, turn around and go to Earth Flow, the clan of the Uchiha Clan.
The streets of Konoha were full of new life and joy due to the succession of the new Hokage. But when Senju Chen stepped into the area where Uchiha Clan Compound was located, the joy that filled the air seemed to be cut off by an invisible boundary.
The atmosphere here is still restrained and solemn.
The houses on both sides of the street are traditional Japanese-style buildings, simple and majestic. On the walls of every house, the red and white Gunbai family emblem hangs, like a pair of silent and proud eyes.
When the Uchiha tribesmen on the roadside looked at Senju Chen, there was curiosity and inquiry in their eyes, but more importantly, there was a solemnity mixed with awe and some expectation.
They stopped one after another, bowed silently, and then moved out of the way.
Over the years, they have all heard more or less that the young man in front of them is not only the biological brother of Fifth Hokage, but also the mysterious ally who has secretly reached a deep consensus with their ambitious clan leader.
Uchiha Clan's future has been tightly tied to this boy.
Senju Chen nodded with a smile all the way, walked through the passage given by the silent crowd, and went straight to Uchiha Fugaku's mansion.
"Chen-kun, you're here." Uchiha Fugaku, who had already received the news, stood at the door. Fugaku's face had a warm smile from the bottom of his heart. With that gesture, he had already completely regarded Senju Chen as an equal and even a partner that he needed to rely on.
"Uncle Fugaku, I am taking the liberty of visiting you. I am not disturbing you, right?" Senju Chen still looks like a humble junior.
"What did you say? It's a great honor for Chen-kun to come. Haha, please come in." Fugaku laughed and personally welcomed him into the door.
After passing through the neat courtyard, Senju Chen did not go directly to the living room. His eyes were attracted by the room on the side of the courtyard where the faint sound of a baby crying could be heard.
"Oh, it's that boy Itachi, teasing his brother again." Fugaku followed his gaze, with a rare gentle smile belonging to a father on his face.
Senju Chen's heart moved, and his face showed just the right amount of curiosity, "Let's go and have a look first. I haven't seen Brother Minato's son for more than a year."
"Of course." Fugaku did not doubt that he was there and happily led the way.
The paper door was gently opened. In the room, Uchiha Itachi, who was only six or seven years old, was standing beside two cribs side by side with a serious face. He stretched out his little hand, as if he wanted to touch one of the black-haired babies who was crying loudly, but he seemed a little at a loss.
In another crib, a blond baby was sleeping soundly, with a trace of drool hanging from the corner of his mouth, turning a deaf ear to the noise around him.
Senju Chen's eyes swept over those two small figures.
Sasuke Uchiha.
Naruto Uzumaki.
Our two future male protagonists, the old enemy and best friend whose fates have been entangled for life in the original work, are now lying here side by side like two ordinary baby dolls. One is crying so hard that the other is sleeping without knowing what is going on.
That is to say, there are no mobile phones in this world, otherwise Senju Chen would definitely take out his mobile phone to record this "harmonious" scene and post it to Moments or something.
He looked at Sasuke, who had black hair and black eyes, cried loudly, and kicked his little hands and feet in the air, looking particularly energetic. Then he looked at Naruto, who slept like a little pig next to him, with a few undried tears on his face. It was obvious that he had cried not long ago.
"Chen-kun, I made you laugh." Uchiha Fugaku said with some embarrassment, "These two little guys don't know what's going on. Whenever they get together, they take turns crying. It's really a headache."
Senju Chen looked away, with a gentle and sincere smile on his face, "How could it be? It's a good thing that children are energetic. Uncle Fugaku, you and Aunt Mikoto take good care of them."
He walked slowly to the crib, leaned down and looked at the still crying Sasuke.
As if he sensed the approach of a stranger, the loud cry of the little black-haired guy suddenly stopped. Sasuke's big black eyes blinked and he looked curiously at the unfamiliar face in front of him. He flattened his mouth and started to chuckle.
Senju Chen looked at Naruto again, looking at his iconic Six Paths beard, and felt even more emotional.
'Brother Minato, Sister Kushina, don't worry.' He thought silently in his heart, 'Your child, I will let him have a childhood that is a hundred times happier than in the original work. He will have the best growing environment, the strongest teacher, and... a "good brother" who loves him as his own brother.'
He turned his head and smiled at Fugaku, "Uncle Fugaku, let's go talk about business."
In the living room, two people sat opposite each other.
After Mikoto personally served the tea, he smiled and stepped away, leaving space for them.
Uchiha Fugaku picked up the teacup, but did not drink it. He looked at Senju Chen with burning eyes, full of expectation. He knew that Senju Chen came to visit in person today and could not just come to visit.
"Chen-kun, Princess Tsunade...Lord Hokage succeeded to the throne, everything went smoothly, right?"
"Thanks to Clan Head Fugaku, everything went smoothly." Senju Chen put down the teacup and Gate of Opening said bluntly, "Besides, I came today on my sister's order to give you a big gift, Uncle Fugaku."
"Big gift? Could it be said that Lord Hokage agreed?" Fugaku was stunned and reacted immediately.
Senju Chen smiled and threw out the first "gift".
"Sister has officially approved the personnel exchange plan for 'cross-learning' between the Public Security Department and Konoha Military Police Force. Starting from next month, Konoha Military Police Force can select suitable personnel to join our Public Security Department and participate in various Public Security Department tasks. The merits obtained and established during the tasks will also be recorded."
"Really?!"
Uchiha Fugaku's breathing suddenly stopped!
Although this news was within his expectations, when he actually received confirmation from Senju Chen, he still felt uncontrollably excited!
Done!
They, Uchiha Clan, finally have a road that can bypass the prejudices of the village's senior officials and officially lead to merit and glory!
As long as the tribesmen can make contributions to the Public Security Department, then it is Senju Chen's contribution, it is Fifth Hokage's contribution! Who dares to make irresponsible remarks?
"Great!" Fugaku clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white from excitement, "Chen-kun, on behalf of the Uchiha Clan, thank you! Thank you Lord Hokage!"
He has already begun to quickly calculate in his mind which elite members of the clan should be selected to send to the Public Security Department. They must be the elites with the strongest strength, the most flexible minds, and the best ability to fight tough battles! They must create a reputation for Uchiha in the shortest possible time, and cannot make it difficult for Chen-kun!
Looking at Fugaku's satisfied look, the corners of Senju Chen's mouth curved up in a subtle arc.
He slowly picked up the teacup and blew the floating tea leaves gently.
"Uncle Fugaku, don't rush to be happy yet."
"Huh?" Fugaku came back from the excitement and looked at him in confusion.
Senju Chen put down the tea cup, and in a tone that was so plain that it was almost casual, he said the words that were enough to make the whole Uchiha Clan go crazy.
"Because, this is just an appetizer."
