"Bring Yukimichi Uchiha here. That kid's been in military academy for so many days; it's time for him to come back!"
Over two years ago, Uchiha Takashi sent Yukimichi Uchiha to military academy for further studies. Now, the Uchiha Clan is lacking frontline commanders. With three fronts to fight, Suke Uchiha alone isn't enough; it's time to call Yukimichi Uchiha back.
After a while, a hearty laugh suddenly came from outside the door, "The three-year period has come to an end! I, Yukimichi Uchiha, have returned?"
Inside the office, listening to this dragon-king-like speech, Uchiha Takashi glanced at his Nara Clan assistant beside him. "Are you sure he's been at the military academy for the past two years?"
Nara Clan's assistant. "Probably, maybe, possibly? I'm not entirely sure. I don't know what he was doing at the military academy."
"The three-year period has passed, and now I'm back. I, Yukimichi Uchiha, will reclaim what I've lost!" Yukimichi Uchiha said as he walked into the office.
However, when he entered the office, he found the two people inside looking at him like he was an idiot.
"Uh, why are you two looking at me like that? Is there something weird on me?"
Yukimichi Uchiha, examining his attire. No problem, just a normal new military academy uniform. There was absolutely nothing wrong with it.
Uchiha Takashi was silent for a moment, then said, "It's nothing. I was just wondering where you learned all these things?"
Upon hearing Yukimichi Uchiha immediately puffed out his chest and said, "Of course I learned it from storybooks. Life at military academy can be quite boring sometimes, so I read some novels."
My favorite is this novel called "The Return of the Super Dragon King," whose protagonist, like me, endured three years of hardship before making a powerful comeback.
For the past three years, everyone has bullied and humiliated me, looked down on me, and I am determined to take back everything that belongs to me.
Hearing this overpowered protagonist-like statement, Uchiha Takashi remained silent for a long time. The Nara Clan assistant beside him silently jotted it down in his notebook. "Regulations concerning restrictions on the circulation of military academy novels."
It wasn't until Yukimichi Uchiha realized the scene had been quiet for a long time that he felt a little awkward. He scratched the back of his head and said, "Why are you all staring at me? Just say what you want to say."
Uchiha Takashi sighed. Although he really didn't want to entrust this task to Nong Mang, who had gone mad from reading novels, the front lines were indeed short-handed. Suke Uchiha and Tai Uchiha had already gone to the front lines.
Even so, the three fronts were still not enough to fill the gap, so they had no choice but to summon Yukimichi Uchiha.
"Some minor incidents have occurred at the front lines. You are now required to go to the southwest front to defend against the invasion of the Sarutobi Clan. You will serve as the commander-in-chief of the southwest front, where you will have 500 elite ninjas and 1,000 elite samurai at your command."
The necessary logistical supplies are already on their way. If you need anything else, please write back anytime, and the nation will prepare everything for you.
Yukimichi Uchiha patted his chest. "Please rest assured, Clan Chief, after these three years of study, I have successfully learned what true military skills are."
With my current abilities, I can definitely defeat the Sarutobi Clan's invading forces and send them fleeing in disarray!
Uchiha Takashi coughed twice, forcing himself to remain composed, and then said, "Your primary duty right now is to get rid of all those novels of yours. You're very arrogant and complacent, do you even realize that?"
Upon hearing this, Yukimichi Uchiha turned pale. "Oh dear, how could I have been so arrogant and complacent? There's a saying that goes, 'Pride comes before a fall!' I'm utterly useless."
Uchiha Takashi: "..." People who have gone to school are different. They speak so eloquently and politely. Aren't there no academic classes in military academies? Where did he learn all this from, novels?
Uchiha Takashi then looked at the Nara Clan Nara Clan beside him. The assistant immediately understood Uchiha Takashi's thoughts and quickly leaned in, saying, "That kind of novel has been circulating for a long time..."
In the early days of the Land of Light, novels had already become a major circulating cultural product, widely disseminated among Land of Light families and common people.
Especially now that literacy rates have generally increased, people's love for novels has reached a new level. Previously, storytellers were merely a means of presentation; now, storytellers are no longer needed. People can simply buy a storybook, lie down at home, and read it after finishing their farm work.
Novels are simply a top-notch form of leisure and entertainment; even I sometimes read them at home.
Uchiha Takashi whispered, "But Yukimichi Uchiha is acting like he's the main character. Is he really okay? He's being completely influenced by this!"
Nara Clan assistant. "Don't worry, everyone knows novels are fake. It'll be fine in a few days. Once we're on the battlefield, who has the mind to read novels?"
Uchiha Takashi thought about it and agreed, so he waved his hand and said to Yukimichi Uchiha, "Alright, that's all. Now you just need to get to the southwest front as soon as possible."
"I'm entrusting the southwestern front to you. If anything happens to you, don't come back."
Yukimichi Uchiha immediately stood at attention. "I guarantee I'll complete the mission. If I fail, I'll offer my head as punishment!" With that, he strode out with an air of utter indifference.
Yukimichi Uchiha: "..."Looks like I really have to ban the novels from your military academy!
Wait a minute... since the novel is out now, then... that kind of thing wouldn't be out too, would it?
Thinking of this, Uchiha Takashi twitched his lips, wanting to say something, but he was too embarrassed to open his mouth.
"My dear little assistant, I have a question for you..." Uchiha Takashi coughed for a long time before finally asking the Nara Clan assistant, "Do you have any novels like that?"
The Nara Clan assistant standing nearby looked puzzled. "Huh? What kind of novel? What kind of novel?"
Uchiha Takashi's face grew increasingly red. "Oh, you know, that kind of thing..." Uchiha Takashi said, waving his hands up and down a couple of times, his whole body gesticulating wildly, making him look quite comical.
Seeing his actions, the Nara Clan assistant finally understood what he meant.
The Nara Clan assistant narrowed his eyes, a look of realization dawning on him. "Oh, that's what you're talking about. Do you want some too? I'll bring some over to work tomorrow."
Uchiha Takashi's expression immediately turned serious. "What are you saying? What are you saying? I am the dignified ruler of the Land of Light, would I want to see such a thing? Am I such a vulgar person? I just want to learn about this, to see if it will be of any benefit or harm to the country."
"Then I won't bring it tomorrow..."
"Hey, no, no, no, I was just joking, hehehe..."
