I have a bunch of relatives who want to be Hokage

Because the real empty area is underground.

Grandma Cat, the Ninja Cat Clan, is a black marketeer with a wide range of connections.

When the Uchiha clan sells arms to the black market, they contact them through her to identify buyers.

Uchiha Shingen's main purpose was to let Shiro get familiar with this place. After all, Shiro had accepted the Uchiha clan's ninjutsu system since he was a child. In the future, he would also need to use various ninja tools tailor-made for this system by the Uchiha clan.

After walking through the gate with an empty zone plaque, a ninja cat jumped out of the wall to the right of the four of them.

"Sir Shingen, long time no see."

"Long time no see, Tian Huo, is Cat Granny here?" Uchiha Shingen said with a smile.

To enter the underground part of the empty area, you have to go through a very complicated corridor. Without the ninja cat to lead the way, there is no way to enter smoothly.

This is the setting, but in fact Uchiha Shingen has already figured out the route due to his frequent visits before - just use the Flying Thunder God.

No matter how complicated the corridor is, it doesn't matter if you don't have to walk it.

However, out of respect for his allies, he never did this.

There are two ninja cats in charge of guiding the way, one is Tian Huo in front of them.

The other one, Uchiha Shingen, didn't like very much. His name was Hina. He was a ninja cat who liked people to give him greeting gifts. If he didn't get any gifts, he would show off his face.

Uchiha Shingen made him lose face the first time, but later on, Hina was afraid of seeing Uchiha Shingen.

Just kidding? How shameless, as a ninja of the Uchiha clan, he still has to give a gift to Grandma Neko?

In Uchiha's arms business, Neko Granny, as a collaborator, also made a lot of money.

To put it mildly, without Granny Cat, wouldn’t the Uchiha clan be able to do black market business?

Therefore, Uchiha Shingen never did the gift-giving thing. Some gifts should be given, and some should not be given.

"Sir Shingen, please come with me."

Tian Huo jumped off the wall and started to lead the way.

Instructing the students to follow, Uchiha Shingen led them and followed Tian Huo into the downward passage.

They soon entered the underground corridor.

Uchiha Shingen was used to the twists and turns here. Uchiha Sasuke had followed Itachi here before and didn't make a fuss. Shiro and Mitarashi Anko felt very depressed, and they were spinning around so much that they were dizzy.

"Don't try to remember the route. This is a safety measure in the air zone." Uchiha Shingen looked at the two people and said, "If you want to remember the route, it is also disrespectful to the owner here."

Hearing this, Shiro and Mitarashi Anko stopped trying to memorize the route.

"Thank you, Mr. Shingen, for your understanding." Tian Huo, who was leading the way, smiled.

The ninja cats were still in awe of Uchiha Shingen.

I always feel that this person is very fierce, even though he has always had a good attitude.

But cats still get nervous when standing next to him.

Even Tian Huo, who was leading the way, would unconsciously walk faster than usual.

After a while, a small door appeared in front.

Tian Huo ran to the small door and squatted down.

"Sir Shingen, we're here."

"Thank you for your hard work, Tian Huo."

Uchiha Shingen took a step forward and opened the door.

Chapter 15 Prejudices that are hard to eliminate

Grandma Cat is a true cat lover, at least that’s what it looks like from the outside.

She is quite old. She is wearing orange cotton-padded jacket-like clothes, a large scarf around her neck, and her hairstyle is rather flamboyant, like a peacock spreading its tail.

She wears a cat-ear headdress.

When Uchiha Shingen pushed the door open, the black marketeer was sitting on the carpet and playing with a group of cats.

The name Granny Cat comes largely from this.

"Xingen, long time no see."

"I have been very busy in the past two years, otherwise I would have come to see you long ago." Uchiha Shingen said with a smile.

"You guys, come here and say hello to your mother-in-law, especially you, Sasuke, don't cause trouble to your mother-in-law. Cats are not frightened."

When Uchiha Sasuke is in his extremely naughty state, he likes to scare these cats every time he comes over.

The cats here are not all tolerant cats.

"Hello, mother-in-law!" Uchiha Sasuke was full of energy.

"Yeah, little Sasuke is still very energetic." Granny Cat looked at Uchiha Sasuke with a smile and a very loving expression.

Grandma Neko likes cats, but she likes Uchiha children even more.

Granny Cat is not a lone ranger. She comes from a business family that specializes in black market business. This family is the family friend of the Uchiha clan in the black market.

Although this family is involved in the black market, it is known for its upright style. For example, it attaches great importance to the quality of its products and does not flatter customers. It is a refreshing trend in the black market.

The mainstream of black market merchants is to pass off inferior products as good ones, inflate prices, and flatter customers.

Granny Cat is the talkative person of this clan in the black market. She has a very good personal relationship with the Uchiha clan. With the arrogance of the Uchiha clan, she also respects this old man.

In the original time and space, when the Uchiha clan had been extinct for many years, Uchiha Sasuke still bought weapons here, even before he defected from Konoha. Obviously, this was the back door opened by the cat mother, because of the financial resources of the ninja. But he couldn't afford to buy weapons from her regularly.

And Uchiha Sasuke, who often quarrels with the sky, the earth, and the air, is also clear about this. This old man is also one of the few people he respects after his family was destroyed. Before leading the Eagle Team to find Uchiha Itachi, perhaps it was because he did not have the confidence to win. , so he expressed his gratitude to Granny Cat for having been taken care of by her over the years.

Perhaps, in the eyes of Granny Cat, Uchiha Sasuke is Uchiha Sasuke, the child she grew up watching.

In that time and space, she was also the only person in the world who felt sad that Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Itachi had to kill each other.

"Isn't Itachi here today?" Granny Cat looked behind a few people, but she didn't see Uchiha Itachi.

"No, he is now preparing to be promoted to chunin." Uchiha Shingen said, "Shisui trains him every day."

Uchiha Itachi will participate in this year's Joint Chuunin Exam.

The participating lineup is also similar to that of Sunagakure before.

But this time the joint chuunin exams will be held in Kirigakure.

The leader of the ninja is undecided, but it probably won't be an Uchiha jounin. This kind of thing also requires substitution.

Uchiha Shingen estimated that this time it might be a Jonin from the Sarutobi clan who led the team.

"What a pity. That child is so sensible. Being so sensible makes me feel bad."

"Yes." Uchiha Shingen sighed, "He is too sensible."

Needless to say, Uchiha Itachi's talent was just too early to realize things, and his way of doing things was also unique.

It seems to have become less extreme in recent years.

The dead-end situation in the original time and space is difficult to describe from Uchiha Shingen's current position.

But from the perspective of protecting Konoha, it's a real mystery.

Apart from anything else, have you considered how much Konoha's combat power will drop after the Uchiha clan is wiped out? Senju Tobirama didn't like to see Uchiha so much, and he was only thinking about how to use Uchiha's power for Konoha.

After the "death" of Uchiha Madara in the original time and space, although there have been no gods and they have been getting weaker, they are still the most important part of the fighting strength of the jounin in Konoha, so much so that everyone is studying them. How to deal with Uchiha who has three magatama and sharingan eyes.

Otherwise, go and study when you are full.

Uchiha is gone, and all countries are applauding, but the only remaining one will take the chunin exams many years later. When others hear the name Uchiha, they will look forward to it, so that everyone else becomes a background.

Even from the perspective of protecting the village, annihilating the Uchiha was the most likely act to trigger a war at that time - the most troublesome wave of people in Konoha is gone, everyone hurry up!

From the perspective of protecting his younger brother, Uchiha Itachi's subsequent operations were even more mysterious and almost fantasy.

On the night of the extermination of the clan, when we meet, we first send out Tsukuyomi.

Many years later, I was afraid that my brother was not well protected, so I sneaked back to the village, beat him up, and gave him another Tsukuyomi.

Uchiha Sasuke lived in Konoha for so many years, and the worst beatings he received were from Uchiha Itachi.

Tsukuyomi's ninjutsu is different from other gods. It is the most lethal among kaleidoscope illusions.

It’s lethality! It is a destructive illusion. This technique is not used to confuse, control or hypnotize. It is simply used to kill people. It is said that after one attack, you will not die or be disabled.

Can you get constipation by using an ordinary illusion or something like that?

Therefore, Uchiha Shingen was completely unable to understand Uchiha Itachi's brain circuit.

He had to admit that even today, he still had a prejudice against Uchiha Itachi.

This stereotype does not lie in the various things Uchiha Itachi did in the original time and space. After all, this time and space will no longer happen. The stereotype lies in his thinking in doing these things, which Uchiha Shingen cannot understand at all.

Thinking is something a person is born with. Things are easy to change, but people's thinking is difficult to change.

There are obviously so many options, but you have to choose the weirdest one.

As long as he doesn't understand what Uchiha Itachi is thinking one day, this prejudice will probably not be eliminated.

It’s so scary. Who knows if I will have convulsions again one day!

"Xingen, please pay more attention to Itachi. This child also admires you very much." Granny Cat said while smoking a delicious cigarette.

Although she likes Uchiha children very much, she only speaks to the point.

After all, her last name was not Uchiha.

She knew that Uchiha Shingen was prejudiced against Uchiha Itachi.

The reason is probably known.

But it is not convenient to say more about her identity.

"Yes, don't worry, we are all a family." Uchiha Shingen said, this man really cares about the children of the Uchiha clan sincerely, he can understand.

"By the way, besides seeing you, I'm here for two things."

He waved to Mitarai Anko and Shiro and asked them to sit in front of Granny Neko.

"Mother-in-law, these two children are my students. I need you to take more care of them in the future."

"What a cute little girl." Granny Cat smiled, "Come, sit closer and let grandma take a good look."

Uchiha Shingen: "...Mother-in-law, Shiro is a boy."

It's so simple. Every time he takes Bai to meet someone, he has to explain it.

Grandma Cat was stunned. It was not easy for such an expression to appear on her face.

"My dear, it's a boy..." She stopped smoking and looked at it carefully, "It's my mother-in-law's fault. My mother-in-law's eyesight is getting worse as she gets older. Don't mind."

"It's not my fault, mother-in-law, it's because I'm too thin." Bai said obediently.

"Good boy, really a good boy." Grandma Cat felt distressed, she saw the shadow of Itachi Uchiha when he was a child.

"Whatever you want to buy in the future, come to my mother-in-law." She said.

Mitarai Anko and Shiro nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

Chapter 16: Joining a gang to enter Longdi Cave

Seeing that the two students had become familiar with each other, Uchiha Shingen took out several seal scrolls.

"Mother-in-law, this is the goods this time."

"Oh! The quantity is quite large." Granny Cat took a look at the seal style and immediately made an estimate.

"It hasn't been shipped for a long time." Uchiha Shingen said.

He found an open space and started digging out.

The three little guys heard the banging sound in their ears and watched Uchiha Shingen continuously conjure black suitcases from the scrolls.

In the end there was a huge pile of them in the open space.

Uchiha Shingen picked up one, walked to Granny Cat, opened it and showed it to her.

The box contained a stack of detonating charms.
