Hesitant and indecisive.
When it was time for dinner, Qingchuan finished preparing and headed to the clan chief's residence.
He slashed at Orochimaru repeatedly, but ultimately failed to achieve any results.
This guy, who already has a triple buff from being corrupted, is someone Qingchuan can't possibly contend with right now.
The feeling of being played made Qingchuan even more unhappy...
but.
To be honest.
Of all the people in the vast Konoha, this is the one Aokawa fears the least.
Orochimaru was eyeing his physical body.
It's like having taken a liking to Itachi or Sasuke.
Orochimaru will not harm him before or even after the Reanimation Jutsu is completed.
They will even go to great lengths to protect and nurture the vessel of their own soul.
And the soul, in all its aspects...
Qingchuan is really not afraid.
Zanpakuto... it cuts through the soul!
In comparison.
Itachi's father, Fugaku Uchiha, instead aroused Aokawa's apprehension.
This guy is actually an underestimated cunning old fox.
He kept his pair of kaleidoscopes hidden until he died.
perhaps.
If it weren't for fulfilling his beloved son's wishes, Fugaku, who would have already obtained the Mangekyou Sharingan, would have combined it with Susanoo, and then added the Nine-Tails...
Qingchuan didn't know how it would end.
He only knew that, no matter what, tonight's dinner was definitely not simple.
...
The journey wasn't far.
However, Qingchuan's arrival was definitely not early.
After all, they almost turned back eight times along the way; it would be a miracle if they hadn't done it by now.
Qingchuan even chose a kimono to avoid giving himself away.
The Uchiha clan's territory is located on the outskirts of Konoha.
The clan chief's residence was located in a more central area.
The stark difference in architectural styles made the vast Konoha resemble a ferocious beast ready to devour its prey.
But upon closer inspection, they seem like a pack of hungry wolves from the Uchiha clan, always ready to retaliate against that aging lion...
That's very interesting.
But Qingchuan had no interest in commenting.
What prey, what pack of wolves...?
Seven years from now, it will be gone sooner or later.
Celebrating the patriarch's son's early graduation.
Quite a few people from the Uchiha clan came.
Of course... only members of the Uchiha clan came.
The dinner for this large family was clearly no joke.
Qingchuan looked around briefly.
Perhaps describing this as a "dinner party" would be a more accurate description...
soon.
As the party began, the atmosphere gradually became lively.
only.
The Uchiha were talking about something that seemed to have nothing to do with today's topic.
Most of them were Uchiha ninjas from the Konoha Guard.
Some of the villagers who were talking about Konoha saw their embarrassed state of being too frightened to speak.
And they chatted about it with great interest.
Some were complaining that they hadn't left the village in so long that their knives were almost rusty.
It seems that this banquet, which was supposed to celebrate the clan chief's son becoming a ninja, was just a different kind of clan ritual.
Qingchuan didn't take it to heart; in fact, he was somewhat relieved.
As long as you avoid Fugaku and Itachi...
Not bad either.
Graduation and all that... he really doesn't care.
However.
The reality is clearly not going to unfold according to Qingchuan's ulterior motives.
Even though the large number of people interfered with his soul perception.
When that undeniable gaze fell upon him, Qingchuan's heart still involuntarily began to pound...
The child is almost crippled by his tricks.
Parents, take note!
"Never mind."
"Whether you stick your neck out or not, you'll still get stabbed."
"You might as well fool me too..."
He tried to comfort himself.
Qingchuan turned his head seemingly unintentionally, his gaze meeting that of the person at the head of the table.
Fugaku Uchiha raised an eyebrow.
After informing his wife, Mikoto immediately looked over in the direction of his gaze.
Two against one.
Qingchuan's carefully constructed mental defenses crumbled in an instant...
He could only respond with a smile that reflected the small successes he had achieved in his cultivation.
"Tsk tsk, what a lovely girl!" Sitting next to her husband, Mikoto covered her mouth and chuckled, while also waving to Aokawa.
He gestured for me to come over.
"Of course." Fugaku turned his head to the side, his face no longer dignified but full of smugness.
"How bad could my son's taste be?"
Fugaku only occasionally showed this side of himself in front of his wife.
And it must be under very happy circumstances.
Obviously.
He is very happy today.
Because of an attack that only existed in Shisui-guchi, the Third Hokage went all out and visited late at night.
Instead of investigating the root cause of the problem, they offered a series of hints and expressed goodwill.
He even had his disciple, Orochimaru, who has only ever had one disciple, personally serve as the girl's teacher.
This was to show compensation to the girl.
The arrangements made for Itachi were also quite dignified.
Although his strength as a Jonin was average, his teammates were not from any major clans.
But it is precisely this combination that allows Itachi to hone his leadership skills.
I found it very useful.
It has to be said.
This is a little girl with a magical aura.
She has a beautiful face and is definitely a natural beauty.
She was very well-mannered and showed no sign of panic even in such a grand setting.
His talent is undeniable.
And, most importantly...
The girl's Sharingan was awakened by Itachi.
Fugaku knew what this meant...
As the girl walked gracefully towards him, Fugaku coughed lightly, startling his son, who had been staring in a daze, from his reverie.
"Stop looking, no one's going to take it from you, Itachi."
In his usual serious tone, Fugaku uttered this most absurd statement.
His son, who inherited everything from him, including his vision, seems not to have inherited his occasional humor.
At this moment, Itachi, after listening to his father's words...
His gaze gradually hardened...
"Yes, Father."
