I have a bunch of relatives who want to be Hokage

It is a fact that the Hokage Building suppressed Uchiha.

But it is true that Uchiha often only stands on the side of family interests, and is very tactless when he contributes to the village. If he asks for payment, there must be something in return.

Legally speaking, the Hokage is the direct superior of the police department, and as a result, he was beaten to the point of being unable to step down more than once.

Which unit leader would like such a subordinate department?

"Is that equivalent..." Namikaze Minato felt that this answer was acceptable to him.

It probably won't work for the elderly.

It's not that the Sandaime would disagree with this, it's that the old people don't even have the most fundamental trust between them.

I can’t believe it, and I won’t believe it.

Such a deep gap appeared among friends from the same village. Namikaze Minato felt his head hurt just thinking about it.

"Absolute fairness definitely does not exist. The village is very big and needs to take care of many people, especially when most people are paying." Namikaze Minato tried to express his thoughts in a more tactful way, or the Hokage The building’s thinking, “This is no longer a question of who is right or wrong, but a question of choice.”

"This is natural." Uchiha Shingen nodded, "Actually, it's a matter of trust."

After carefully organizing his words, he said sincerely to Minato Namikaze: "Hokage-sama, it's no longer popular to play ninja nationalism these days. We are all from the same village. We don't see each other when we lower our heads. Maybe the old man's ideas are different from ours. , but as long as everyone is willing to put aside their prejudices, there is nothing that cannot be discussed."

In fact, judging from the actions taken by the Hokage Building in recent years, they have not had much impact on the strength and development of the Uchiha clan itself.

The healthy development of the ninja clan is determined by population, ninjutsu and financial resources. The Hokage Building only limits the power of Uchiha, but the power of a police department is enough to support the normal development of the Uchiha clan.

Therefore, from Uchiha Shingen's point of view, it is unrealistic to say that the Hokage Building regards Uchiha as an enemy.

They still only regard Uchiha as an overly selfish subordinate department and an internal unstable factor. In essence, there is not much difference between Uchiha and other ninjas in the eyes of the Hokage Building.

In fact, none of the ninja clan of Konoha has been able to enter the decision-making level of Konoha. Only the Nara clan is a little closer because they are generally smart.

Even if Sarutobi Hiruzen has been around for decades, the benefits that the Sarutobi clan can obtain are only at the economic level.

But the few ninja clans in Konoha that can survive to this day all have their own ways of making money, and no one is short of money.

"Do you trust me...I can probably understand your thoughts." Namikaze Minato believed that Uchiha Shingen was telling the truth. To be honest, in Uchiha Shingen, he did not feel that the Uchiha family generally had of arrogance.

In other words, Uchiha Shingen's pride has surpassed the limitations of the Uchiha clan.

I am great because I am great, not because my family is great.

Although Uchiha Shingen didn't say that, Namikaze Minato believed that was what he thought.

"But this way, you won't be able to relax." Namikaze Minato couldn't help laughing when he thought of the possible scenes that would happen next.

Uchiha Shingen looked confused.

"Xingen, I'm looking forward to your future performance." Namikaze Minato picked up the tea cup again and drank tea, "Okay, I won't delay you and go home. Say hello to your uncle and aunt for me."

"Okay, Hokage-sama."

Although he couldn't figure out what the Hokage in front of him was hiding, Uchiha Shingen had already wanted to leave.

He stood up quickly and left.

The first thing I did after leaving was to rush to the mission hall and receive the mission gold.

There was an episode in which the little girl who was responsible for verifying and distributing mission funds was simply stunned when she saw Uchiha Shingen's money-counting skills that were beyond her imagination.

After all, Uchiha Shingen is a very solid jounin, with excellent hand skills, and a Sharingan eye, and his efficiency in counting money is superb.

When he walked out of the Hokage Building, Uchiha Shingen had already made clear arrangements in his mind on how to spend the more than 700,000 taels of income.

Being rich in the ninja clan does not mean that individuals in the ninja clan are well-off. The higher the ninja level, the higher the cost of training. Although Uchiha Shingen practices hard, he is not an ascetic. He spends money like water.

A proper member of the Moonlight Clan.

Even though he is on a mission now, correspondingly, since he has temporarily left the police department, all kinds of income there have also been cut off.

Based on this calculation, although the overall income has increased, the expenses are still very tight, because his Yang Escape has now reached a more critical moment.

He had no choice but to endure it. He would not drink tea until Yang escape broke through.

The most important thing is that he has to find a way to receive S-level missions. The upper limit for A-level missions is one million taels, while S-level tasks start directly at more than one million taels, with no upper limit.

Leaving aside being hired by a country to participate in wars, the main content of S-level tasks is to assassinate important figures in other countries and escort confidential documents. Under normal circumstances, due to the unharmonious relationship between the Hokage Building and the Uchiha clan, Uchiha ninjas It's really difficult to receive an S-level mission.

But Minato Namikaze showed his ability as a Hokage, and Uchiha Shingen felt that he could look forward to it.

Just like what he and Shisui said, he trusts the Hokage very much.

If he fails to receive it, he may be mentally traumatized and lose trust in people. As the patron saint of the village, Hokage will definitely not let his companions suffer such serious psychological trauma.

When they returned to the clan, before they could go back to save money, Uchiha Shingen was stopped by Uchiha Tiehuo who heard the sound.

"Brother Shingen, you are finally back!" This guy yelled, "The patriarch is looking for you and wants you to go immediately."

Uchiha Shingen didn't even think about running away. His voice was so loud that everyone knew that he had returned from the Hokage Building.

"I know, I know."

With no choice, Uchiha Shingen could only follow this overly excited guy to Uchiha Fugaku's house.

The Uchiha Fugaku family is the only luxury house in the Uchiha clan.

Walking into this house, although it was not the first time for Uchiha Shingen to come here, he still felt the inhumanity.

This envy is not due to the fact that Uchiha Fugaku became the clan leader, but because his family is good at doing business. Before he became the clan leader, he was a well-known rich family in the family.

Since he was not short of money at all, after becoming the clan leader, Uchiha Fugaku used all the dividends given to him by the clan to provide subsidies to clan members who were short on cultivation resources.

Uchiha Shingen can get this subsidy every month.

Therefore, even though Uchiha Fugaku was a facial paralysis, Uchiha Shingen always believed that the clan leader was extremely handsome.

When he saw Uchiha Fugaku, the clan leader was writing calligraphy.

Seeing Uchiha Shingen, he asked first.

"Shingen, if you had a fight with Shisui, what do you think your chances of winning are?"

Chapter 16 Public Competition

"Shisui?" Uchiha Shingen didn't quite understand the Bakuai clan leader's question, "Why do I want to fight with one of my own people?"

"Shingen, you have always been very cautious." Uchiha Fugaku raised his paralyzed expression to a higher level to show that he was not satisfied with the answer. "Even after returning home, are you not willing to tell the truth?"

Um? At home? Are you giving the house to him?

Can it be discounted?

However, looking at Uchiha Fugaku's expression, it seemed that this was not the right time for teasing.

"Clan leader, when two Uchiha fight, there is no such thing as winning or losing."

The Kaleidoscope Eye Technique is a bit foul, and he doesn't know if he can handle it. If Shisui can't afford to lose, he will give him a shot from another god and make him think that he has reached the third level, but he is still in the book world...

Then stop being a human being and just start a three-week program.

But if we don’t use a kaleidoscope...

Isn't that a waste of time?

Let him waste time when the entire ninja world is grabbing orders?

"Winning or losing is not the goal, everyone is here to see the difference between you." Uchiha Fugaku put down the brush and wiped his hands.

Uchiha Shingen glanced at it and felt that this word... needed to be strengthened.

"Come and sit down." Uchiha Fugaku opened the side door on one side, revealing the tea room inside.

The tea has been brewed, and a woman is cleaning it up at the coffee table. At this time, the door opens and she gets up.

"Thank you, Mikoto." The big face became slightly less paralyzed.

"It's okay, I just have some free time. You guys can talk, I'll go out." Uchiha Mikoto looked very happy, probably going to a girlfriends' party.

"Yes." Uchiha Fugaku nodded, and then asked, "Where is Itachi? He should be practicing at this time."

"Shisui took him to play."

"oh."

This dad is really unprincipled. He didn't break his leg when he ran out to play without doing his homework?

Uchiha Shingen thought slightly maliciously.

It's not that I have any opinion about Uchiha Itachi, I simply think that this guy can do what he did eight years later simply because he didn't fight enough when he was a child.

Uchiha, once you become arrogant, you feel like everyone else is drunk and you are alone. This is a disease that needs to be cured.

"Sit down." Uchiha Fugaku greeted, and then he sat down first and drank tea.

Uchiha Shingen sat down and took a sip first.

That's right, this is the flavor, this is the tea that Namikaze Minato made just now.

"How is your Yang Dun training going?" Uchiha Fugaku suddenly asked.

"fine."

"Ice Release cannot be compared with the Sharingan. If you follow the family tradition, maybe you will have eyes like that now like Shisui."

"That's also embarrassing." Uchiha Shingen added a cup of tea, feeling that he didn't need to have lunch. "If you use it too much, you will go blind."

"Just put on new eyes." Uchiha Fugaku didn't care, "The Sharingan is the foundation of our clan. There is a reason why the Sharingan is left behind after the clan members sacrificed themselves."

"I only like my eyes." Uchiha Shingen felt that he was wrong.

Weren't you still talking about Yang Dun?

"It doesn't matter. There should be a result whether your choice is correct. You have four more years than Shisui. Everyone thinks this is fair."

"Okay, I'll follow the arrangements anyway."

"Yeah, but if you lose, the family can no longer support you in practicing Yang Dun. The monthly subsidy will be the same as everyone else. I still need to tell you this first."

"oh."

Uchiha Shingen has no problem with this. After all, there are so many people in the family. If he has more, others may have less. In the past, it was easy to say, but now that he is a jounin, it is reasonable to cancel the extra share.

In this regard, Uchiha has done a good job. They have not given more subsidies to whoever is strong and less subsidies to whoever is weak.

Generally speaking, the senior leaders of this clan are not bad in quality and are quite public-minded.

Their non-human side was shown to the Hokage Building.

Afterwards, they chatted casually for a while, and seeing that Uchiha Fugaku really had nothing else to say to him, Uchiha Shingen said goodbye and went home.

After returning home, I met my parents, went back to my room to put away the mission money I received, and then basically spent the whole day helping with housework.

A few days later, Uchiha Shingen did not receive any new tasks. It was probably because the clan was making time arrangements for the competition between him and Shisui, because he was informed that the competition would be held in public.

Using this method to judge whether to continue to support his Yang Dun practice is considered fair.

It's just a bit embarrassing to lose, after all, he is older than Shisui.

It is nonsense to say that Uchiha don't care about age and only care about strength. This is just a means of image building to make outsiders think that Uchiha has a wolf culture and strong business ability.

After all, he is an old ninja and knows everything.

After waiting for about seven or eight days, Uchiha Shingen was not stressed at all. It was time to eat and practice. Then he saw Uchiha Shisui on the way back.

He looked dusty from all the travels, and it looked like he had just returned home.

"Brother Shingen." Uchiha Shisui's eyes were bright, "They told me as soon as I came back."

"Yes, they told me as soon as I came back." Uchiha Shingen said with emotion, "I was pulled over and approved without even saving any money."

"Brother Shingen, you always put your money where your mouth is."

"You have to be pragmatic."

"Brother Shingen, please give me more advice tomorrow. I have long wanted to learn your skills!"

"I can see it..."

Seeing the child's excited expression, Uchiha Shingen patted his shoulder and said, "My brother, don't be polite."

"Okay! I will definitely be rude to you!"

"These words are like swearing...forget it, as long as you are happy."

After sending away the enthusiastic Kaleidoscope boy, Uchiha Shingen continued to go home.
