After sizing up the entire room's layout and furnishings, Le Jian finally looked at the middle-aged man who had been sitting by the coffee table. That man had a calm expression on his face. Ever since Le Jian came to this room, he had not even raised his head and had been making tea calmly.
Looking at the man who controlled the entire Thousand Hands Clan, Le Jian could sense the aura that was as deep as the sea. He was secretly shocked. He had seen Shadow Grade experts like Yukiya and Tsunei. There was no doubt that this man in front of him was a genuine Shadow Grade expert.
As expected of the once number one clan of Woodleaf. Although they had retired, their strength was not to be underestimated. A clan leader was already a Shadow Grade expert. He did not know if the so-called Elder Committee had a Shadow Grade expert.
Seeing that the other party did not speak, Le Jian secretly despised him. This little trick was not enough to deal with him. He directly walked to the coffee table and sat cross-legged. He naturally picked up a cup of tea that the other party had brewed and slowly drank it like the owner of the place.
Seeing that the other party was still indifferent and only made a cup for himself, Le Jian secretly glanced at the other party while drinking tea. The other party's eyes were still fixed on the coffee table, as if he did not see him.
Le Jian silently drank his tea, planning to drag this out with the clan leader. He did not believe that the other party would not speak. After all, the other party had asked him to come. He could not possibly have asked him to come over for tea, right?
However, as time passed, Le Jian realized that he was wrong. He had already finished three cups of tea and his stomach was full of water, but the other party's expression and actions were still the same as before.
" Lord Clan Leader, why did you call me here? It can't be that you want to invite me for tea, right?" Le Jian spoke first in the end. He had thought it through. Why did he have to compete with the other party in silence? Winning didn't mean anything. At most, he would be praised by the other party for being calm.
" Yesterday, I went to the Uchiha family with the third generation master, Yukiya, and Okami." Chieftain Chijiura put down the teacup in his hand and said calmly.
" Yes, I did." Le Jian was slightly shocked when he heard this, but his expression remained unchanged.
Thousand Hands Pu was surprised to hear that Le Jian had guessed it so quickly, but he quickly hid it.
" So, did you call me here today to warn me not to cause trouble in the future, or did you want to hand me over to the Uchiha family to appease their anger?" Yuka asked.
Of course, the latter part of his words was definitely nonsense. Even if the Thousand-Hand Clan was willing, his teacher would definitely protect him.
The relationship between the Thousand Hands Clan and the Uchiha Clan was not good to begin with. It was only for the sake of peace that the two sides did not start a war. However, what Ruma did yesterday not only dragged him into the Uchiha Clan's must-kill list, but also put the Thousand Hands Clan directly on the opposite side of the Uchiha Clan.
Le Jian's actions not only represented himself, but also the Thousand Hands Clan.
However, after knowing that the four Shadow Grade powerhouses had " paid a visit " to the Uchiha Family last night, Le Jian immediately understood what they meant.
" Cause trouble-no, our Thousand Hands Clan has never been afraid of causing trouble, let alone the Uchiha Clan that we defeated." Thousand Hands Pu's tone revealed endless pride and excitement.
In Chijiura's opinion, Kiha was founded by Chijiura, and the Uchiha family was just a bystander. Thinking about the Naruto family of Kiha, which one of them was not related to the Chijiura family?
"Then why did Lord Patriarch call me here?
Since the other party had already settled that matter, there must be a condition. Le Jian did not believe that the other party would really help him unconditionally, who was an outsider in the eyes of many Thousand Hand Race members.
"The Thousand Hands Clan still lacks a young clan leader."
Le Jian's expression froze when he heard the other party's words. He looked at the other party in a daze and said rudely,"Are you sick?"
Thousand Hands Pu, who had been calm from the beginning, couldn't help but feel a few holes on his forehead when he heard this. As the clan leader, all the clansmen were respectful when they saw him. They didn't even dare to breathe loudly in front of him.
However, he had met Le Jian today. He had been observing Le Jian from the moment he entered the door. He did not see any respect or fear on Le Jian's face. It was as if he was a complete stranger in front of him. He was a shadow level expert after all. He did not expect to be angered by a junior today.
" Do you really want me to be the young clan leader?" Le Jian saw that the other party's expression didn't seem to be a lie, so he couldn't help but probe.
" As long as you agree, you are," Thousand Hands Pu said again.
Now that Le Jian was certain that the other party really wanted him to be the young clan leader of the Thousand Hands clan, he could not help but feel puzzled.
What was the concept of a young clan leader? As long as Thousand-hand Ura abdicated, he would become the clan leader of the Thousand-hand Clan and be in charge of this huge Thousand-hand Clan. The current Uchiha Tomitaka would be the young clan leader of the Uchiha Clan.
" Your son will agree to this."
Le Jian was indeed tempted for a moment just now, but he did not agree without thinking. After all, it was not up to the clan leader alone to decide who would be the young clan leader.
There was a reason for Le Jian to ask this question. After all, although the patriarch of any large family was elected by everyone, as the patriarch, who would not want their son to become the next patriarch? Therefore, before this, every patriarch would cultivate their own strength and eliminate the clansmen who opposed them, laying the foundation for their children to take over the family in the future.
The most famous example of this was the Hyuga clan. In order to consolidate their position, the main clan would seal the branch family with the seal of a caged bird, allowing the fate of the branch family to be in their own hands.
It was not uncommon for the clan leader to pass the position to his son. Everyone had tacitly agreed to this invisible rule.
Thousand Hands Pu's father was also the clan leader, and his bloodline was a direct descendant of the Thousand Hands Clan. Le Jian could only be considered a branch family, and now, he could not even be considered a branch family.
" Don't worry, I don't have any children," Thousand Hands Pu said with a gloomy expression.
A few years ago, he was seriously injured because of a mission. Although his life was saved, he lost the ability to carry on the family line.
" I'm sorry, I-"
"Alright,"
Looking at Thousand Hands Pu's gloomy expression, Le Jian thought that he had mentioned his sad story. Thinking about it, if he really had a son, he wouldn't have come here.
" His son must have sacrificed himself on the battlefield," Yue Jian thought as he looked at Thousand-hand Ura. He could not be blamed for thinking this way. War was a huge meat grinder. Even many children in Kogawa had lost their parents, or their elderly parents had lost their children.
