Fū Uchiha fell silent immediately. Even if he was usually slow-witted, he had finally grasped the meaning.
Tsukina Fujiwara seems to... be interested in him.
Seeing that Fū Uchiha remained silent, Tsukina Fujiwara smiled, her eyes narrowing, and tilted her head. "So, Mr. Fū, have you finally understood what I meant?"
Fū Uchiha wanted to ignore the person in front of him, so he turned around. However, as soon as he turned around, Tsukina Fujiwara followed him and appeared right in front of him.
Fū Uchiha frowned, then turned his head again, but Tsukina Fujiwara kept following his gaze.
Tsukina Fujiwara tilted her head. " Mr. Fū, what is your answer?"
Fū Uchiha lowered his head and stammered, "I... I don't know."
Tsukina Fujiwara looked at Fū Uchiha's bright red ear tips, narrowed her eyes, and smiled, saying, "Really? Mr. Fū really doesn't know?"
Where had Fū Uchiha ever seen anything like this before? He'd never even touched a woman, unlike Hen Uchiha, a womanizer who'd been single for 18 years and had never even held a girl's hand.
Uh, what? Fū Uchiha wants to clarify something. He said he's held girls' hands and often captured female ninjas during battles, so he's touched women! He has had contact with women.
Just as Fū Uchiha was at his wits' end and didn't know what to do, in the office
Uchiha Takashi squinted at the people before him and said, "Gentlemen, Miss Fujiwara is currently with our Uchiha Clan. Since you intend to pledge allegiance to Miss Fujiwara, what's wrong with serving the Uchiha Clan?"
" Miss Fujiwara, since you'll be living within the Uchiha anyway, everything you've done for the Uchiha is also for Miss Fujiwara, isn't it?"
Junji Fujiwara: "Excuse my bluntness, but your words are undoubtedly a fallacy of equivocation. Miss Fujiwara is Miss Fujiwara, Uchiha Clan is the Uchiha Clan! The two should not be confused!"
"We are loyal to the Fujiwara Family, and there is absolutely no way we would switch allegiance to the Uchiha Clan!"
Uchiha Takashi looked at this group of stubborn old men, his teeth practically grinding to powder. He tried everything—threats, bribes—but they just wouldn't agree no matter what.
This group of people is completely unyielding; their entire being screams, "Go ahead and kill me, I'm not doing anything to the Uchiha!"
Uchiha Takashi was at a loss; he might as well just kill them! Not only was Tsukina Fujiwara becoming disloyal, but these people were indeed talented; he couldn't bear to kill them.
But not killing them and just imprisoning them here isn't an option either. It's such a hassle to rummage through them and prevent them from escaping; it's just too much trouble.
Just as Uchiha Takashi was troubled, a crow flew in through the window, its Sharingan darting around.
Uchiha Takashi instantly received a message from Fū Uchiha.
Fū Uchiha: "Clan leader, something's happened! Something's happened! Come to the gate and save me! Help! It's an emergency!"
Uchiha Takashi: "?" If he remembered correctly, Fū Uchiha hadn't gone very far, so how come the news came back so urgently? Could it be that someone had discovered their Uchiha Clan village?
Uchiha Takashi suddenly stood up and ordered his clansmen, "Keep an eye on these people. I have something to do now. We'll talk when I get back!" With that, he ran towards the main gate.
Just as Junji Fujiwara was about to say something, the Uchiha clansman beside him unhesitatingly placed his long sword in front of the two of them, his Sharingan" take one more step and I'll kill you" vibe.
Junji Fujiwara swallowed hard, watching helplessly as Uchiha Takashi's figure disappeared through the doorway. He could only obediently sit back down in his original spot.
Uchiha Takashi quickly arrived at his office after leaving. As soon as he stepped out the door, he saw two people standing very close together at the entrance.
Uchiha Takashi was completely confused. "No, Fū Uchiha, you mean the office entrance when you say 'main gate'?"
After calming himself down, Uchiha Takashi walked towards the two of them.
There, Fū Uchiha, head bowed and face flushed, noticed Uchiha Takashi out of the corner of his eye. His eyes lit up when he saw Uchiha Takashi arrive.
"Clan leader! You've arrived!" Fū Uchiha strode up to Uchiha Takashi in a single step, his speed leaving Uchiha Takashi stunned.
"Clan leader, weren't you discussing something? Why are you leaving now? Is there something you need me for? What is it? Let me do it for you!" Fū Uchiha's tone was as fast as a machine gun, while simultaneously attempting to activate Genjutsu with his Mitsudomoe to alert Uchiha Takashi.
Uchiha Takashi, his Sharingan, arms crossed, silently watched him, then glanced at Tsukina Fujiwara.
Seeing that Fū Uchiha was in such a hurry to run away, Tsukina Fujiwara stomped her foot and walked over.
Tsukina Fujiwara's tone seemed to carry a hint of anger. " Mr. Fū, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Am I that annoying? Or is this a difficult question to answer?"
Fū Uchiha was sweating profusely, looking at Uchiha Takashi with pleading eyes, as if to say, "Clan leader, give me the mission quickly so I can run away."
However, Uchiha Takashi stroked his chin, his eyes darting between the two... These two are getting into some drama! Uchiha Takashi, caught up in his gossip-loving mood, completely ignored Fū Uchiha's gaze.
Uchiha Takashi looked at Tsukina Fujiwara and asked, " Miss Fujiwara, is there something between you and Kaze? I don't have any missions for him, but I'm very interested in what's going on between you two. Could you tell me about it?"
Tsukina Fujiwara hesitated for a moment upon hearing the question, then, seeing Fū Uchiha's eager-to-run expression, took a few deep breaths, adopted a reckless attitude, and spoke with a flushed face.
" Clan Head Takashi, I... I like Feng, so I just confessed to him, but he hasn't given me a reply."
Upon hearing this, Fū Uchiha felt utterly hopeless, looking helplessly at Uchiha Takashi: "Clan leader, please, give me a mission, let me run away!"
Uchiha Takashi's eyes widened upon hearing this question; there really was something going on between these two! He then looked at Fū Uchiha and, seeing the hopeful look in Fū Uchiha, spoke...
"So that's how it is, Feng. What's your answer?"
Fū Uchiha was completely out of ideas, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and answer, "My answer is I don't know. I don't know how to answer that."
Uchiha Takashi raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean by 'I don't know'? If someone confesses to you, do you accept or not? What do you mean by 'I don't know'? Do you like them or not?"
Isn't stringing someone along like that the behavior of a scumbag?
Although Fū Uchiha didn't understand the meaning of the term "scumbag," he could roughly guess that it referred to a womanizing playboy like Hen Uchiha.
Fū Uchiha wasn't too happy about this. How had he become a playboy? He just didn't know how to answer. He was Uchiha, after all; the Uchiha Clan was known for being very sensitive about matters of the heart.
Uchiha Takashi: Sensitive? You seem to have some misunderstanding about the word "sensitive," don't you?
