Follow-up
After taking a warm bath, she changed into a set of clean clothes and sat on the sofa, reading a magazine out of boredom.
"Young Master Qi, breakfast is ready.”It was just past six o'clock, and the diligent Qing had already finished some work as usual.
"I'm not eating today. I'm going to sleep for a while, so don't ask anyone to disturb me.”Her hair was almost dry. She put down the magazine in her hand, got up, and went into the bedroom, closing the door.
He lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.
When she opened her eyes again, it was already a red sunset outside. She had slept for so long. Another day had passed.
Feeling a little thirsty, his stomach began to grumble non-stop. After taking a few deep breaths, he felt that his depressed mood had improved a little. He still had to live his life as usual. He dressed neatly and opened the door. He saw Fuqiu sitting on the sofa, smoking a cigarette out of boredom.
"You're awake?"
"Yeah, I thought you didn't smoke?”After casually replying, he walked into the bathroom and started washing up.
"If you had waited until 9 am, you would have smoked too.”He sounded quite unhappy.
"What's the matter?" She was brushing her teeth and her speech was unclear.
"Let's talk about it later."
Five minutes later, Fuqiu and I sat across from each other on the sofa. Haruka served two cups of tea and left the room to close the door. The faint fragrance of tea filled the room.
"You don't look good, but that's not a big deal. Meiqin and I used to marry like this, and it's fine now. We can slowly develop our relationship. Besides, your relationship with Kui hasn't been very good!”Fuqiu said as if he had been there before.
"Nothing is more peaceful than I imagined. You didn't come here to wait for me for a day just for such a small matter, did you?”。
"That's right again. You're really not cute. Second Elder has something for you!" Fuqiu's expression became solemn as he placed a sealed document bag on the table.
"What is it?" Seeing that there was no label on the document, I asked tentatively.
"I don't know. I can't look at it. My mission is to hand it over to you and watch you finish reading it. Then, destroy it. I guarantee that the documents inside won't be seen by anyone other than you during this process.”This tone, this expression, it was Fuqiu in the long-lost mission state.
"Got it." Fuqiu had already spoken to this point, and I knew what I had to do.
I then tore open the folder and began to quickly read and write down the contents. There were a lot of documents, and the contents were extremely important. Many of them were technical terms. In order to not make any mistakes, I compared them with the original document three times after I memorized them. After confirming that there were no mistakes, I destroyed them. The entire process took me more than two hours.
"Alright, my first task is completed. Next is the second round, come with me!”Fuqiu stood up and walked out.
The place Fuqiu brought me to is the forbidden area of the clan, just like the place where trespassers die in martial arts novels. The second elder gave me a research institute there for me to use. Apart from me, Second Elder, and Great Elder, no fourth person is allowed to enter, not even the Clan Leader. Fu Qiu can only wait outside. There were a large number of high-level men of sacrifice in the surroundings, so safety and confidentiality were definitely not a problem.
The facilities inside were very complete, many times better than the medical class. Of course, this was also largely due to the fact that I couldn't get in touch with the core of the medical class. The research institute still had a lot of information left behind by previous users, as well as some specimens. There were also a few capable assistants who lived in the research institute. Overall, the conditions were very good!
When he came out of the research institute, the full moon was already in the sky. Accompanied by the bright moonlight, the stars were twinkling non-stop, painting an extremely beautiful picture of the night sky. There was no trace of last night.
"Oh, why are you here again?" When I got home, I was very surprised to find that Fuqiu was sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed and resting in boredom. There was also a freshly brewed tea on the table.
"I think you should be back soon. I have something to tell you.”Fukuoka poured me a cup of tea.
"Tell me." I hadn't eaten anything for a day. I picked up a piece of pastry and stuffed it into my mouth. I chewed it and said it incoherently.
"Qi, our relationship has always been close and we get along quite well. Then I'll be frank. Soon, we'll be choosing the candidate for the clan leader, and I need your support.”Fuqiu's eyes shone with ambition.
"When did this happen? I don't seem to be able to answer this question.”Fukuoka may think highly of me, but I cannot think highly of myself.
"In the past half a year. I don't need your help right now. I'm quite confident about entering the list of candidates for the tribe leader. I don't just want to be a candidate. I want to be the leader of the Uchiha clan.”
"As far as I know, the current patriarch of the clan is not as glorious as his name. To be honest, I can barely remember what he looks like. Moreover, the selection of a new clan leader should be something that would happen after the war in Ninja Realm ended.”The future was too far away, and I didn't want to get too involved in the power struggle of the family. After all, in my plan, after the Nine-tails incident, I had to leave Muye. Otherwise, it wouldn't be easy for Ban to get involved.
"Don't beat around the bush with me. You should understand that the reason why I came to find you is because I value your potential. You have talent and ability, and now you've inherited the Second Elder's bloodline. When the time comes for the selection of the new Clan Leader after the war, I believe that you'll definitely grow to an extremely shocking level. Therefore, I need to know your attitude now.”Fuqiu obviously didn't want to test me anymore, so he directly made things clear and forced me to take a stand.
"Before I express my stance, I must first know that if you can become the clan leader, what kind of attitude do you have towards the current clan system and the current elders?”I picked up the teacup and took a sip. The mellow taste made my tired nerves slightly excited.
"You should understand me. I don't want to lie to you. I definitely won't agree to be a clan leader who knows his place and has no power. As long as I become the clan leader, I will definitely gradually take back my authority from the elders. Of course, I will guarantee your interests.”
"Deal. As long as you become the patriarch candidate, I will definitely support you.”I promised that we were no longer just friends who had some benefits. We were now political allies.
After that, it was the engagement ceremony. There was nothing much to say. It was just a few people trying to get some words out of each other. During the ceremony, Sunflower showed a rare shy attitude.
To me, this ceremony was a torture. It was like signing a negotiation document after a defeat. Moreover, the person she was engaged to was a little brat who was not even ten years old.
However, I did manage to meet my brother whom I hadn't seen for a long time, Uchiha. For a long time, I had never relaxed my attention on him. He was already 15 years old, and he was considered a genius in his small circle. His strength could be considered passable. I heard that in two years, he might be promoted to Jounin. He was on par with Tomioka, Kawato, and the others.
It was always awkward to meet brothers who shared the same father, different mothers, and had no feelings for each other. Besides, I know that he hates me and has been living in my shadow. I spent all day thinking about how to stimulate him to open the kaleidoscope and steal his eyes. Therefore, there was nothing much to say to each other, only a few words of respect.
The simple engagement ended hastily, and I was labeled as a family early on.
From then on, my lifestyle changed to one where my home and the research institute were separated by a line. My cultivation was also completed in the research institute. Other than visiting Orochimaru once in a while, I spent almost all my time in the research institute.
However, after Kui got engaged, she didn't come to find me as often as before. There were a few times when she came to give me some things or pass on some messages to the Second Elder. Perhaps it was my misconception. I felt that she had changed a lot during this period of time. She was no longer as energetic as before, and she had matured a lot.
After my short time in the garrison, the last channel for Xiang Cai and I to meet or pass information to each other had disappeared. We were currently unable to contact each other. There was nothing he could do about it. The two of us were very similar. Our situations were similar. Our personalities were similar. Our mentalities were similar. We were even surprisingly similar in the aspect of not having anyone we could trust.
I did try my best, for example, I purposely went to spar with Kawada, hoping to bump into her on the way. Unfortunately, there was no effect after going there a few times. I can't blame her for this. After all, she couldn't have known when I would go. Therefore, I gave up and began to focus on cultivation and research.
Half a year later, my chakra finally reached the level of a Jounin. Thus, I applied to the clan to become a Jounin. After the clan approved it, I passed it on to the higher-ups of Muye. What was interesting was that the examiner of my Jounin exam was not Orochimaru, but Selaiya.
It wasn't difficult to pass the examination of Zi Lai Ye. My personal relationship with Zi Lai Ye was quite good, and my own strength was sufficient. I didn't need him to go easy on me or take extra care of me. Thus, I became the first ten-year-old Jounin in the history of Koba. (Actually, she was still two months away from being ten.）
The clan had been very enthusiastic about this. Under the manipulation of some people, Muye had even set off a storm of bloodlines. However, this was only a small interlude. Everyone's attention was still on the increasingly intense Ninja Realm war. The situation had progressed to this point, and even Mu Ye had been dragged into the quagmire of the war. Although the villagers of Shinobu Village were still relatively restrained, they were not far from a true battle to the death. Now, it was just the villagers clearing the area for the final battle in the future.
