In the evening, Chika said goodbye to Obito and Rin and returned to his home.
Because he had an appointment with Uchiha Fugaku, he did not go training as usual.
Taking advantage of his boredom, he looked at the gift in his hand that he was going to give to Kakashi.
As a gift giver, how can you know whether the gift will satisfy the recipient just by looking at the cover? You have to observe it in person to make a guarantee.
With this thought in mind, he opened the book.
Time flies, and while Chika was learning a new world, there was a knock on the door.
Chika was immediately shocked and quickly repacked the books before getting up to open the door.
Standing at the door was none other than Uchiha Fugaku.
Leading Fugaku into the living room, Chika said, "Young Clan Leader, please take a seat. I'll make you some tea."
"Well, thank you for your hard work."
After Fugaku took his seat, he let out a long sigh of relief. It seemed that today's meeting was not satisfactory.
Seeing this, Chika couldn't help but sigh: Such a good young man is so exhausted.
He has to work hard for the family during the day and discuss his life ideals with the beautiful Aunt Mikoto at night.
Even the strongest man can't bear it.
Chika couldn't bear it, "Young Patriarch, I'd better make you some wolfberries. I happen to have some at home."
Fugaku frowned and asked, "What are you doing with marinating wolfberries?"
"Nourish the kidneys and replenish the deficiency!"
Chika's expression showed that he was concerned about Fugaku's health, which really made Fugaku frown.
"Need not!"
Fugaku said stiffly with veins popping on his forehead, and then added, "I am in good health and don't need this kind of supplement!"
No man would admit that he is weak, even in front of a child.
[Negative emotions from Uchiha Fugaku, emotional value +10, first time to obtain Uchiha Fugaku's emotional value, reward illusion experience +600!]
Chika's body trembled. He was worthy of being Uchiha Fugaku. The reward he gave was really amazing.
The rewards given by Shisui, Asuma and the others were only a few dozen points.
Considering the difference in power between Fugaku and them, Chika suspected that the reward was calculated based on strength.
After making the tea, Chika poured a cup for himself and Fugaku, then sat opposite him, quietly waiting for Fugaku to speak.
When Fugaku saw, that Chika did not rush to ask him why he came, his face showed a little surprise.
Well, he is so calm at such a young age. He is a good candidate.
He knows a lot, and he knows that wolfberries can cure deficiency!
He is indeed a member of the Uchiha clan!
Fugaku took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and then said: "Chika, have you ever thought about graduating early?"
Chika heard this and he looked a little strange, "Young Clan Leader, isn't it too late to apply for early graduation now?"
"It's not about Hatake Kakashi."
Fugaku saw that Chika had misunderstood, and shook his head and said, "There is some discord between the family and the village. You should have heard about it, right?"
Chika nodded.
Fugaku said meaningfully: "In this case, you should understand that our clan needs supporters among the Konoha high-level officials!"
"So, which ninja does the young clan leader want me to form a bond with?"
Chika already understood why Uchiha Fugaku came to discuss something with him this time.
The Third Hokage's ruling team consisted of the Second Hokage's guards.
Influenced by the Second Hokage, everyone is prejudiced against Uchiha.
Among the Konoha high-level officials, the Uchiha clan has been targeted more and more seriously.
The war has begun, and it's time for all families to unite and send the Uchiha clan to the battlefield.
Now that peace has been achieved, it is time for all the clans to work together to cause trouble for the Uchiha clan.
Basically, that's how it was, isolating and marginalizing the Uchiha clan.
It is basically impossible to change the attitude of the Konoha high-level officials.
Perhaps if Uchiha Kagami, who was also the guard of the Second Hokage, was still alive and they could use him as a link, there would still be some hope.
Unfortunately, he died young.
This death also completely severed the ties between the Uchiha clan and the current Konoha high-level officials.
Since the current ruling team is not good enough, let's wait for the change of leadership.
Obviously, this was Uchiha Fugaku's idea.
Seeing Chika's advice, Fugaku nodded in satisfaction and said bluntly: "Namikaze Minato!"
Namikaze Minato!
He was a very gentle and humble person, and he had no prejudice against the Uchiha clan. He was also Jiraiya's disciple among the three ninjas. As long as he survived, he would definitely occupy a high position in the village in the future.
It would be beneficial for the Uchiha clan to establish a relationship with such a ninja.
Moreover, he has a good relationship with Namikaze Minato, and more importantly, his girlfriend and Minato's girlfriend are best friends.
As if afraid that Chika didn't know who Namikaze Minato was, Fugaku continued.
"Although Minato has only been promoted to jonin not long ago, he is very powerful and is also a very good jonin to lead. Hatake Kakashi was able to become a chunin so quickly because of his guidance."
At this moment, Chika couldn't help but admire Fugaku.
The time when Namikaze Minato shined was in the Third Ninja World War. Now he is just a potential jonin and perhaps has not even mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Compared to his strength, he is not as important as the disciple of Jiraiya among the three ninjas.
Being able to think that Namikaze Minato would become a high-level official at this time, it seems that Uchiha Fugaku has some vision.
Seeing that Chika was silent, Fugaku said earnestly:
"Chika, with your talent, it's a waste of time to be in the ninja school now. Besides, you are already seven years old. It's time to contribute to the family. Graduate from the ninja school early and join Minato's class to establish a bond with Namikaze Minato and Hatake Kakashi. That is my task for you!"
When he heard the word "mission", his expression became serious.
This is the first time the family has given him a task!
He must take it seriously!
Chika sat upright and said in a deep voice: "Young Clan Leader, contributing to the family is my duty as a member of the Uchiha clan!"
Seeing his attitude, Fugaku nodded with great satisfaction, "Very good, in that case."
"Young Clan Leader, if you want to build an unbreakable bond with someone, it's not enough to just become a team member!"
Fugaku was interrupted by Chika before he could finish his words.
"What do you mean?" Fugaku was slightly stunned, then asked.
"Since we've become teammates, there should be a greeting gift for our first meeting, right?"
"In addition to the meeting gift, do you also need to treat them to a meal to strengthen the relationship?"
"And I also heard that Minato-senpai has a girlfriend. As the saying goes, you should give all the gifts you want. Now that you have given Minato-senpai a gift, you can't forget his girlfriend."
"Otherwise, if the woman whispers something in his ears, our plan will be ruined. And..."
"."
Is this guy asking me for mission funds?
