Konoha's traitor master

Chapter 126

When we left Hinata's house, the sun was already setting.

Aoba arrived at Konoha Hospital. Since he was going to Uchiha to discuss matters, of course he had to pick up his apprentice.

This wave is called apprentice diplomacy.

Pushing open the office door of Konoha Hospital, Itachi was practicing medical ninjutsu on a mouse, with several open books next to him.

"Master Qingye, long time no see." Itachi said calmly without stopping.

Qingye held his forehead, walked silently behind Itachi, stretched out his hand and hugged Itachi's head.

"Senior Fugaku, I can't help you. Itachi's account is no longer available. Please open a new one." After saying this, he strangled Itachi's head with his hands.

"Bang~" The ferret in Aoba's hand turned into a piece of wood.

"It's a small trick." Aoye had already seen through Itachi's movements, and in a blink of an eye he came behind Itachi's real body, and then picked him up.

Just like rubbing Totaro's dog's head, he also rubbed Itachi's head before letting go.

Itachi's growing up environment is very different, and his personality is also very different from the original. He is much more cheerful now.

Even though he often spent time with Shisui, he also learned Shisui's weakness of teasing Aoba.

…

In the reception room of the Uchiha mansion.

Aoba and Fugaku sat opposite each other, Itachi sat aside and listened. Outside the room were the Uchiha family guards.

"Aoba, can't the Uchiha clan make an exception for the matter of entering the archives?" Fugaku asked with a frown, his tone a bit serious.

Aoba just briefly described the recruitment conference and expressed his hope that Uchiha could participate.

"Senior Fugaku, no family in Konoha can be a special case." Aoba returned somewhat forcefully.

Just when he was about to open his mouth to explain further, he noticed that Itachi seemed to be hesitant to speak.

So he smiled and said, "We might as well let Itachi explain it."

"Oh?" Fugaku also turned his eyes to his son and nodded, with a hint of surprise and encouragement in his eyes.

After receiving permission, Itachi stood up and bowed first, then imitated Fugaku and said with a serious face: "I think the Uchiha clan must cooperate."

"Itachi, tell me your reasons." Fugaku followed with a serious tone, cooperating with his son.

Itachi took a deep breath, combined with the information he heard recently in the Hokage Building, some of the thoughts instilled by Aoba and his own thinking, and said:

"The Family Office is undoubtedly an important department under the Hokage Building. I think this can be seen from the fact that Director Akimichi has entered the high-level seat."

"Therefore, this department cannot be a department solely dedicated to serving the family ninja. It must play an important role in the village."

"According to my guess, on the one hand, it is to solve the current manpower problem, and the more important role is to promote the integration of families into the village."

"To achieve this goal, we first need to establish mutual trust between the two parties."

"I found out when I thought about the reasons why the family and the village don't trust each other from the perspective of the village."

"The village's distrust of the family stems from the village's inability to control the family, which is intolerable for a mature regime."

"But from the perspective of the family, I found that the policies of the top management have always been biased towards civilian ninjas, and there is no one in the top management who is on the side of the family, so the family is wary of the village."

"So I guess that Master Qingye's original intention of establishing a family office was, on the one hand, to allow the village to have a preliminary understanding of each family through the creation of archives."

"On the other hand, it lets the family know that there is someone at the top who can stand on their side, so that they can slowly let go of their wariness about the village."

"Lord Akimichi Torifu has settled in the Hokage Building. This is the sincerity shown by the village's top management."

"Cooperating with the registration file is a channel for the family to show sincerity."

"I guess that most families except Uchiha should have agreed to allow at least some ninjas in the family to register."

Itachi said this and looked at Aoba with wide eyes.

Aoba also nodded cooperatively and said: "Indeed, the Hyuga clan has also agreed."

He deliberately didn't say that Hinata only agreed to leave her resume.

"Father, the rafters outside the eaves are the first to break..." Itachi's voice was still very immature, but the meaning was conveyed well.

In the general environment where the family office was established and the family and the village were integrated, Uchiha wanted to be a special case, so he became the leader.

Aoba already had a smile on his face. With this level of understanding, At least Itachi wouldn't go to extremes when it comes to family matters.

"I will convince the clan." Fugaku promised with a smile. He felt very gratified and proud.

"Haha, then I would like to thank the Uchiha clan for their support on behalf of Tofu-sama." Aoba immediately spoke in Mandarin.

The main purpose of this meeting has been achieved.

Afterwards, the two of them exchanged a few polite words, and Aoba stood up to leave.

Fugaku took Itachi off with him and waved away the guards who wanted to follow him.

After the guards were far away, Itachi suddenly puffed up his mouth in a rare gesture.

"Hey~ What's wrong with my good apprentice?" Aoba poked Itachi's cheek and joked.

Itachi regained his expression, and then said calmly: "I'm just amazed by the acting skills of the two adults."

"Hahahahaha" Aoba and Fugaku looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

Aoba's official visit to Uchiha today was a play that had been discussed in advance.

If he really wanted to discuss things, Fugaku would withdraw his guards, and the discussion just now was for interested people outside.

The same situation applies when Aoba goes to Hinata.

When discussing the establishment of a family office, these details had already been determined with Hizu and Fugaku.

Although the two are the patriarchs of their respective families, many things cannot be settled in one word.

Therefore, Qingye needs to take action to put some pressure from the official side.

The two of them exchanged interesting stories about Itachi and arrived at the door.

"The Hyuga clan only promises resumes, right?" Fugaku asked affirmatively.

"Haha, I really can't hide it from Fugaku-senpai." Aoye didn't hide it anymore.

"I can convince some of the clan members to leave files, and Shisui's side can convince some more." Fugaku pointed out Shisui's influence, but there was no hint of concern in his tone.

He also hinted that Aoba could use Uchiha's decision to force Hinata.

"Thank you, Fugaku-senpai." Aoba smiled inwardly and thanked her sincerely.

Then he waved goodbye to the two of them and prepared to turn around and leave.

"Do you need me to cooperate with Shisui's affairs?" Fugaku suddenly asked before Aoba left.

Qingye was startled for a moment, then smiled and replied: "Senior, just pretend that you don't know."

"I understand." Fugaku nodded solemnly and agreed.

The father and son watched Aoba disappear at the end of the street.

"Itachi, your master is a powerful ninja." Fugaku touched Itachi's head and sighed.

Ever since Aoba brought the father and son closer to each other that time, Fugaku has been able to make some intimate moves naturally.

"I think there is someone stronger than Master." Itachi shook his head and said.

"Oh?" Fugaku showed an interested expression.

"The most powerful ninja I have ever seen was the man who said 'who is in favor and who is against' at the clan meeting." Itachi returned seriously.

"......Yeah?"
