Uchiha's God of Muscle.

Today, he finally felt that the relationship between himself and his brother-in-law had become closer.

The two walked along the streets lined with cherry blossom trees.

"Duan, I already knew that you are also a member of the moderate faction, right?" Fu Yue asked.

"How did brother-in-law find out?" Duan was puzzled.

"Isn't it obvious?"

Fu Yue folded his hands on his chest, as if he had seen through Duan's mind, and analyzed it logically.

"Duan, although your appearance is taller and fiercer than anyone else, but your heart is gentler and kinder than anyone else, this is what your sister Meiqin told me.

You are obviously powerful, but you don't want to be a ninja, but live an honest life like ordinary people.

You even moved out to live alone, abandoned Uchiha's surname, and never caused trouble.

Are these not enough? "

He stared at his brother-in-law sharply.

"You are right, brother-in-law."

Duan nodded, too lazy to argue, but followed Fugaku's words and said, "I think that everything Uchiha has today is given by Konoha. No matter what happens, we should not fight against the village, and we must always use the village interests first.”

Hearing this, Fu Yue suddenly stopped and frowned.

"Damn, you're too gentle!"

He looked serious, and warned his brother-in-law, "Remember, being too gentle is a kind of weakness. We have to fight for what belongs to Uchiha, otherwise others will only think that we are easy to bully, do you understand?"

Fuyue is indeed a neutral faction.

He didn't want the tribe to follow the will of the fire like Shisui did, putting Konoha's interests ahead of the family, nor did he want to be radical like Yashidai and break out armed conflicts with the village.

As the patriarch, he hopes to strike a balance: while maintaining a relationship with Konoha, try to gain Uchiha's power as much as possible.

It's just that this balance is difficult to grasp.

There are two radical and moderate factions in the clan. Once one party completely gains power, he, the patriarch, will be coerced.

finally.

When there are many moderates, he is a moderate, and when there are many radicals, he becomes a radical.

The grass on the wall belongs to yes.

"Brother-in-law taught me well."

Facing Fu Yue's earnest teachings, he admitted his mistake.

It's funny too.

Seeing people speak human words, hell talking nonsense, the result is that the radicals think he is too radical, and the moderates think he is too gentle.

Fu Yue's expression softened when he heard this.

The two chatted for a while, and unknowingly came to a crossroads.

"Almost forgot the business."

Fuyue came back to his senses, and said solemnly to Duan, "Tonight is your sister's birthday. She said that she wanted your brother to come to our house and have a meal together more than receiving your gift."

"……it is good."

Facing the face-to-face invitation of brother-in-law, Duan did not refuse this time.

"Great."

Fuyue breathed a sigh of relief.

If he failed to bring Duan back, he might not be able to see his wife's smiling face in the next month.

Suddenly, Fu Yue seemed to remember something again.

"By the way, I heard from Itachi... There is another employee in your gym who usually eats and lives with you. Then, bring her along."

He said that with a serious expression on his face.

"Okay, see you that night." Duan agreed, and separated from Fuyue at the intersection.

……

surveillance station.

Itachi went to work as usual, staring at the rows of surveillance screens, monitoring the settlements of the Uchiha clan.

Although he never said anything on the surface, he still somewhat resisted this kind of task in his heart.

During this time.

He was at a loss, and his eyes kept switching rapidly between the monitoring screens.

Suddenly, he saw the figure of his uncle, Uchiha, appearing in the clan, and walked into a big house with Uchiha Inahiya.

Soon.

Duan walked out alone, but was stopped by his father Fuyue again. The two chatted for a while on the side of the road, and they seemed to have a very happy conversation.

How is this going?

Itachi stared at the screen intently, thinking quickly in his mind.

Before you know it, it's time to change shifts.

Itachi stood up and hurried off work, trying to find out what happened as soon as possible.

at this time.

Neither Itachi nor the other surveillance personnel noticed that a swirling distortion suddenly appeared on the screen of Nanhe Shrine on the surveillance screen.

In a flash.

Chapter 16: Scared little nephew into tears

Itachi walked out of the surveillance station.

He crossed a street, and as soon as he turned a corner, he bumped into his father Fuyue unexpectedly.

"Are you off work, Itachi?" Fu Yue asked with a smile.

"Yes, my lord."

Itachi was a little nervous.He didn't want his father to know that his job after joining Anbu was to monitor his own people.

However, Fu Yue has already seen through everything.

"Itachi, do you still remember the first day when our Uchiha clan moved to the new clan land a few years ago?"

He looked at the tall buildings not far away, and said in a deep voice, "I found these tall buildings around the clan land at that time, and they must be used by the village to monitor us."

Itachi nodded silently.

"Hmph, the third generation has a good plan, and wants to use my son to deal with the Uchiha clan?"

Fu Yue glanced in the direction of the Hokage Building again, his eyes turned cold, "It's a pity he doesn't know, Itachi, you have been our Uchiha's spy into Anbu from the very beginning."

"I will try my best to be a bridge between the family and the village, my lord father."

Itachi gave his answer.

He didn't indicate which side he was on, because he wanted to look at the Uchiha clan and Konoha more objectively, only in this way could he make the right choice.

No?

To be a bridge between the family and the village...Itachi, do you want to become Hokage?

Yes.

As long as Itachi becomes Hokage in the future, the Uchiha clan will definitely be able to reintegrate into the village.

Fu Yue understood his son's words according to his own ideas, and his eyes could not help but be filled with relief, and he patted Itachi on the shoulder:

"I trust you, Itachi."

For Itachi, he has always been one hundred at ease.

"By the way, Father. I just saw on the surveillance camera that you and your uncle..." Itachi hesitated, not knowing whether to ask.

"Oh, your uncle is coming to my house for dinner tonight to celebrate your mother's birthday. It seems that your nephew won't be able to invite him, and I, my brother-in-law, should do it himself."

Fu Yue laughed and teased.

It turned out to be the case.

Itachi smiled in agreement and didn't ask any more questions, but the doubts in his heart didn't disappear.

The sun went down, and the night gradually fell.

Back in the alley, I saw Samuel standing alone at the entrance of the gym from a distance, waiting silently.

After he approached.

"Curator, you are back."

Samui came up to meet him and bowed to him as usual.

"You seem to be worried about me." Duan asked.

"Yes." Samui pretended to be shy, lowered her head and looked at Duan embarrassedly.

Who worries about you, narcissistic guy.

What she really cared about in her heart was what happened after Duan and Inahura went to meet Uchiha Yatsudai.

pity.

Duan has always been moody and angry, so she can't see any clues.

"My brother-in-law's house invites you to dinner tonight, you can go with me." Duan said suddenly.

"what?"

Samuel was very surprised when he heard this, and responded hesitantly, "This is not very good, I am an outsider..."

She seemed to decline, but she was actually eager to agree immediately.

You know, although the Uchiha clan was driven to the edge of the village by Konoha's high-level officials, they also took the opportunity to build the clan into an independent kingdom, and even Konoha's Anbe couldn't get in.

Right now, as a spy, Samui has the opportunity to go deep into the Uchiha clan and meet the patriarch's family.

This is a great opportunity to gather intelligence.

For Samuel's pettiness, he is well aware of it.

"It's actually my brother-in-law's intention to invite you to go with me. If it's convenient for you, don't refuse anymore." He said.

Duan also wanted to know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd because Fuyue specifically told him to bring Samuyi.

"OK then."

Sure enough, Samui agreed and pretended to be flattered.

10 minute later.

The two changed into black and white kimonos respectively, bought a birthday cake, and walked towards Uchiha's clan.

In the yard of the patriarch's house.

Brothers Itachi and Sasuke were playing on the floor in front of the door.

"Brother, you can teach me the tricks of shuriken tomorrow, okay?"

Sasuke wore the cat ears Itachi gave him, and rolled and acted like a baby in the latter's arms, even his belly was exposed.

like a kitten.

"Sasuke, I still have a task tomorrow, I will teach you next time when I have free time."

Itachi's eyes were gentle, he touched his younger brother's head, and said apologetically.

suddenly.

When Itachi turned his head, he saw Duan and Samui appearing at the door.

His complexion changed slightly, and he subconsciously wanted to stand up to greet him, but he made a gesture to tell him not to move, and walked over with Samuel side by side.
