"A beggar?"
The Bald Head Director was completely stunned. Aoi Ren was such an esteemed figure that even the Second Hokage himself had served him tea, and he had killed the Kazekage when he was only three years old. Had the status of such a great figure really fallen so low in the eyes of the Uchiha clan?
"That's right, this guy is nothing but a fraud!" Uchiha Moni sneered and pointed to his own eyes. "Believe me, the eyes of the Uchiha clan never make mistakes. I swear by the name of the Sharingan!"
"..."
Aoi Ren didn't even know what to say anymore. Was this man simply foolish, or was he deliberately being malicious? As for the Sharingan, there really wasn't much to praise when it came to basic eyesight. Those who awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan would suffer from vision loss after only a few uses. Unless they killed a close relative or two, they could look forward to spending the rest of their lives blind...
In fact, Aoi Ren had always wondered: what if an Uchiha who awakened the Mangekyō had no brothers or sisters left?
Would they have to turn their attention to the kind of "eternal brother" every man is born with?
But of course, the Bald Head Director would never believe Uchiha Moni's words. To say nothing else, the businesses Aoi Ren managed through the director were worth assets totaling over a hundred million ryo! His girlfriend was none other than Princess Tsunade, the most noble woman in Konoha. Would someone like that really need to come here just to get a free meal?
Seeing that the Bald Head Director still refused to believe him, Uchiha Moni sneered as if victory was already in his grasp. "Director Maeda still doesn't believe me? Then take a look—are there any seats left in the guest section?"
Indeed, the guest seats below were already completely filled...
"But..." The Bald Head Director just couldn't understand. Given Aoi Ren's status and standing, he wouldn't just be entitled to a seat; even if there wasn't one, a seat would be made on the spot specifically for him. Why was Uchiha Moni blocking him outside? Was this man suffering from depression and simply tired of living?
"Alright, I know you have a kind heart, Director, but there's no need to keep defending this little fraud," Uchiha Moni said with a sinister smile and a sneer. "Unless this guy can produce an invitation, I will acknowledge him as a guest of the Uchiha clan!"
"..."
Aoi Ren fell silent. He had been ready to show his invitation right from the start, but this man had hurled abuse at him nonstop instead. Now he was demanding that he show it. Did he think Aoi Ren was made of clay, to be shaped however he pleased?
"I don't have an invitation!" Aoi Ren sneered coldly and curled his lip. "And as for the gates of the Uchiha clan? I have no interest in entering them anyway."
The Bald Head Director knew very well that Aoi Ren was just acting out of pique. He quickly leaned close to Aoi Ren's ear and whispered, "Lord Aoi, please don't lower yourself to his level. If you wish to become Hokage in the future, you will still need the support of the Uchiha clan..."
Hearing this, Aoi Ren scoffed and shook his head. The Bald Head Director simply thought too lowly of things. The status between him and the Uchiha clan was actually completely reversed.
The Uchiha clan might look glorious and powerful on the surface, but internally they were riddled with crises. In the future, they might very well come begging him, asking him to spare a few members of their clan so that their bloodline could continue...
He had only come in the first place to show support for Uchiha Yuuya. But now it seemed, he no longer needed to give the Uchiha clan this courtesy.
As for the invitation?
"What a joke!" Aoi Ren threw his head back and laughed loudly. "I am a man of honor, armed with strength and will. In this vast world, is there any place I cannot go? Why would I ever need some useless invitation?"
Aoi Ren turned to leave, but just then, Uchiha Yuuya suddenly came rushing out...
"Captain Aoi!" The moment he saw Aoi Ren, Uchiha Yuuya was moved to tears. "I knew you wouldn't stand me up."
"Captain Aoi?"
Uchiha Moni, standing nearby, couldn't help but freeze. That name sounded strangely familiar.
With that said, Uchiha Yuuya naturally reached out and pulled Aoi Ren along. "Captain, why are you still standing here? Come in quickly—everyone is waiting for you!"
