The moment Uchiha Takashi spoke, the atmosphere in the entire office suddenly became somewhat strange.
Everyone fell silent, and Junji Fujiwara lowered his head even further. "We are inextricably linked to Miss Tsukina Fujiwara's ordeal."
I thank the Uchiha Clan members, but since Miss Tsukina Fujiwara is ultimately our master, we hope the Uchiha Clan will entrust Miss Tsukina Fujiwara to our protection.
Uchiha Takashi sneered, "You? I ask Uchiha, as the number one clan in the Shinobi World, do you have enough strength to protect Miss Tsukina Fujiwara? The safest place is within the Uchiha's territory."
"With your protection, can you withstand assassinations from the Senju Clan and Uzumaki Clan? I'm not joking, but you could even let Miss Tsukina Fujiwara fall into the hands of bandits. In my eyes, you're just a bunch of useless trash."
Upon hearing this, several people in the crowd stirred, seemingly eager for a heated argument. However, before they could even move, the Uchiha guards nearby drew their long swords without hesitation.
The gleaming blade was pointed at the group of ordinary people, and the officials immediately became obedient.
Junji Fujiwara, then sighed and said, "So, it seems the Uchiha Clan Head head doesn't want to hand over Miss Tsukina to us?"
"What do you mean 'handed over to you'? Your wording is all wrong. Miss Tsukina is a friend of our Uchiha Clan. Giving her to you, are you treating her like merchandise?"
We would never have entrusted Miss Tsukina Fujiwara to you before you proved your abilities! We, the Uchiha, have the strength to protect Miss Tsukina Fujiwara Miss Tsukina Fujiwara, and she will live well under our Uchiha Clan's management!
I could even say that Miss Tsukina Fujiwara doesn't need you at all.
Junji Fujiwara lowered his head and remained silent. Uchiha Takashi didn't deny his loyalty, but directly denied their abilities, and Fujiwara Junji had no way to refute him.
Looking at the silent crowd before him, Uchiha Takashi said, "Let me show you a way out. If you're willing, you can stay in our Uchiha Clan and serve us. After all, Miss Tsukina Fujiwara is living in the Uchiha Clan Uchiha Clan now, isn't she?"
"What do you mean, sir? Do you intend to turn us into retainers of the Uchiha Clan?"
Junji Fujiwara immediately raised his head, his gaze intense, and said, "If that's the case, please abandon those thoughts. We are loyal only to the Fujiwara Family and would never turn to serve a second master."
Uchiha Takashi narrowed his eyes. He didn't want to use force, given the group's exceptional leadership skills. However, if they didn't know what was good for them, he would have no choice but to stay there to prevent them from revealing the village's secrets.
Outside the office building, Fū Uchiha had just stepped out of his office when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.
He turned his head and saw a beautiful young woman with a long, flowing hairstyle standing not far away.
It was Tsukina Fujiwara. Tsukina Fujiwara noticed Fū Uchiha at that moment, and her previously calm expression softened with joy. She then jogged over.
" Mr. Fū!" Tsukina Fujiwara called out as she ran. Fū Uchiha slowly turned around, looked at Tsukina Fujiwara running towards him, and frowned as he said:
" Miss Fujiwara? What are you doing here? This is an office building. No one except members of the Uchiha is allowed in. If you need to speak with the clan head, then I can go in and call him out for you."
Tsukina Fujiwara pouted and said, "I came to see you, you idiot!"
Upon hearing this, Fū Uchiha glared at Tsukina Fujiwara with intense eyes. "You're looking for me? What do you want? God, did you just insult me? What did I do wrong?"
Hearing Fū Uchiha's tactless remark, Tsukina Fujiwara felt her fists clench. She felt she had made her intentions very clear, but why was Fū Uchiha so oblivious to her feelings?
"What a complete idiot!" Tsukina Fujiwara gritted her teeth and muttered, "It's so obvious, why can't you see it?"
Fū Uchiha: "What? I didn't see it? Is there anything I can't see in front of my Three-Tomoe Sharingan? Are you denying the Sharingan of our Uchiha Clan?"
Tsukina Fujiwara sighed deeply. Now that she knew this guy was a complete idiot with low emotional intelligence, why was she still doing all this?
"Take it!" Tsukina Fujiwara gritted her teeth, then took out a box from behind her back and handed it to Fū Uchiha.
Fū Uchiha frowned as he looked at the box in front of him. "What's this? Why are you giving me this?"
Tsukina Fujiwara lowered her head, her face flushed, and explained, "This is... this is a necklace. It was left to me by my father to give to my future husband. It's a token of our love."
Fū Uchiha stroked his chin, his mind slowly working. "You gave me this token of love? It's a necklace..."
Tsukina Fujiwara looked expectantly at Fū Uchiha, who was deep in thought.
The next second, Fū Uchiha extended a finger, giving a look of sudden inspiration. "I know, you're afraid this thing will be stolen, so you entrusted it to me for safekeeping. Don't worry, as the village chief, it's only right that I safeguard everything."
However, our Uchiha First Division Guard Force is quite formidable, so you don't need to worry about that at all. Just take it home and leave it there; no one will steal it!
If you want to thank the Uchiha Clan for saving you, there's no need. The token of your love is for your future husband; what use is it to me? Your clan's assets are currently managed by the Uchiha Clan for you; that's enough."
Tsukina Fujiwara's previously expectant expression cracked; what was she expecting?
"You utterly idiot! This thing is for you! How can you not understand?" Tsukina Fujiwara stomped her foot and yelled at Fū Uchiha through gritted teeth.
Fū Uchiha blinked. "Eh, for me? Oh, I see. You want me to give it to someone in this village for you? Hey, why don't you just go and give it to them yourself?"
Then you say to him, "The moon is so beautiful tonight, Ms. Wang Yuan. You're so outstanding, he definitely won't refuse you. Be bold, there's no need to be so subtle!"
Well, thankfully I've seen some picture books in other towns and can understand the meaning. If it were other Uchiha clan members, they wouldn't even know why you're doing this.
They can't even read your subtext. Don't worry, just name the person, and I'll give him this thing and bring him to you."
However, Tsukina Fujiwara didn't speak. Fū Uchiha looked at Tsukina Fujiwara with a puzzled expression, closed his eyes, and took a few deep breaths.
When Tsukina Fujiwara opened her eyes again, the color in her eyes had disappeared, replaced by some unreadable emotions.
" Mr. Fū, since you've put it that way, I'll just get straight to the point. The moon is beautiful tonight. Would you like to watch it with me?"
"Hey, why are you telling me this? Weren't you going to tell your sweetheart...?"
Fū Uchiha listened to these words, he finally realized something was off. Wait a minute, why did it feel like Tsukina Fujiwara was talking to him?
