"I, I understand!"

Following his father's example, Uchiha Fugaku endured the pain in his knees and continued to kneel obediently, erasing the speculation in his mind that "the patriarch may have forgotten us."

At the same time, he turned his head and glanced quietly at the beautiful girl beside him. Uchiha Mikoto met his gaze and smiled softly. Fugaku suddenly blushed and quickly looked away.

No one noticed that at this moment, behind Fugaku, an Uchiha tribesman raised his head slightly and scanned the audience with gloomy eyes.

"interesting……"

The Uchiha tribesman's skin hidden under his clothes was covered in black ink, and Black Zetsu had taken away control of his body. Only in this way could Black Zetsu safely participate in the succession ceremony.

"No wonder he is so highly praised by Madara. He is indeed very powerful." Hei Jue thought secretly.

He witnessed the entire process of Jiri overpowering the Uchiha tribe, and he had to admit that no matter who she was, Jiri's strength and softness combined with her thunderous skills would not be able to do better than her.

With such a clan leader, maybe the Uchiha clan can really get out of the shadow left by Madara and fully integrate into Konoha.

"Uchiha Beacon... I don't know what Madara plans to do, but since Madara asked me to pay attention to you, you must be worthy of being used."

Black Zetsu's gaze jumped across the people in the front row and landed on Uchiha Fenghuo, who was seriously injured and fell to the ground in the distance.

Late that night, Black Zetsu returned to Madara's hiding place and told the truth what happened during the day's succession ceremony.

"Madara-sama, the leader of the defector faction in the Uchiha clan is named Uchiha Fenghuo. He was seriously injured because he contradicted Uchiha Jiri. All the defector faction have been subdued for the time being." Black Zetsu said respectfully.

"As expected."

There was no surprise on Madara's face, and his tone was deep: "Everything Jiri did was for the Uchiha clan."

There was a time when he was so wholeheartedly thinking about his people and taking the family as his highest mission.

But in the end, Madara, who devoted everything for his family, was betrayed by his tribe. The day he left Konoha, no one in his tribe was willing to follow him.

Black Zetsu knew Madara very well and saw that he was in a strange mood at the moment. After hesitating for a long time, he tentatively asked: "Madara-sama, do you need me to contact Uchiha Fenghuo next?"

"No."

Madara calmed down and shook his head.

If he wants to conquer Zhili and let her help him wholeheartedly in completing the Eye of the Moon plan, he must make her endure unbearable pain and destroy the things she regards as treasures in her heart.

Even that thing was once regarded as a treasure by myself.

Madara believed that no matter how strong Jiri was, she would definitely be filled with despair for the world when she saw her clan members dying one after another in front of her.

"I will personally contact him."

The jonin exams are still in full swing.

After the written test on the first day, the second mission trial ushered in. Watanabe did not take part in the exam and did not understand the content of the trial. He only knew that the trial was held in the Forest of Death and lasted for a total of three days.

There is a high possibility of casualties during the trial, but Futabana is not worried about Tsunade, because he knows very well that Tsunade's strength is definitely among the best among the candidates of the same class, not to mention that she is also with Jiraiya and Orochi

Maru formed a team, no one could hurt her at all.

Mito had said that the head of the ANBU would wait until the jounin exams were over before taking up the post. Watanabe was not impatient and stayed at home to hide his abilities and bide his time. During the day, he practiced the eight gates of armor and ninjutsu, and at night he waited for Jiri to come over.

Jiri is much busier than Watanabe these days. Today's Uchiha is a big mess. She needs to make decisions on many family affairs. Fortunately, since the succession ceremony on the first day, the defector faction members have not caused any trouble.

The clan members were all convinced by her, and they were very busy, but everything went smoothly.

Watanabe did not hide it from Jiri and told her that he was about to take over as the head of ANBU. Jiri was a little jealous of this and felt that Tsunade gave Watanabe more than she did, but she had already given everything she could, and she could not give the Uchiha clan leader

Leaving it to Watanabe, he can only make up for it by working harder in bed.

In a blink of an eye, three days passed quickly.

The fourth day was the final practical session of the Jonin Exam. Watanabe had planned to go to the martial arts field to watch Tsunade compete, but unexpectedly he was blocked at the door of his home by three ANBU ninjas wearing masks early in the morning.

"Hokage-sama summons you."

The three ANBU ninjas calmly announced.

Is it finally here?

Watanabe was mentally prepared, canceled his original schedule, and followed the three people to the Hokage Building.

This is the second time Watanabe has come to the Hokage Building. The first time was with Jiri, Beiru, and Hinata. At that time, there were many high-level officials from Konoha present, but this time there were only Watanabe and Hiruzen alone.

.

"See Hokage-sama."

After all, the other person will be his direct boss from now on, and he can no longer call him Hokage-senpai like before. After Watanabe entered the door, he bowed his hands to Hiruzen.

"Sit down."

Hiruzen said with a smile, his attitude was quite friendly, he took out a pipe from the drawer and asked politely: "Do you smoke?"

Watanabe nodded: "I don't smoke, but I can give it a try."

Hiruzen was stunned for a moment, then took out a brand new pipe and handed it to Watanabe.

"Smoking, like alcohol, is a symbol of a man's maturity. I usually smoke a few when dealing with affairs to make my thoughts clearer." Hiruzen shared his experience.

Watanabe took the match, lit the tobacco, and took a deep puff.

[While smoking: health +1, cardiopulmonary function +2, qi and blood +4...]

If he was still in the Ninja School, this improvement would be considered a lot, but for Watanabe now, it is nothing more than a drop in the bucket. He can just open the Eight Gate Dunjia and his health will increase by hundreds or thousands.

"A little uncomfortable with it."

Watanabe put down his pipe, feeling that there was absolutely no need for him to be exposed to a taste that Juri and Tsunade didn't like just for such a trivial improvement.

Even if he can reverse negative attributes, smoke is not a good thing.

"Hokage-sama, let's talk about the ANBU. Mito-senpai has already asked me to make preparations."

Hiruzen smiled slightly: "It's unexpectedly direct, which is good."

"Mito-sama has never misjudged anyone. Since she thinks you will be the best choice for the next Jinchuuriki, I naturally believe her and you."

"Thank you, Hokage-sama, for your trust."

Hiruzen exhaled the smoke, looked at him and continued: "Although I support Mito-sama's decision, it's just that the position of ANBU Minister is a bit too reluctant for you."

"You have this concern yourself, right? After all, you are so young. It will be difficult for the ANBU members to convince you after you take office. Moreover, your status as a jinchuriki is extraordinary and you are not suitable for carrying out dangerous tasks."
