Konoha: Uchiha's Magnificent Rebellion

Page 99

After a pause, Fugaku continued, "Welcome to the security team. From today on, you will be the captain of the third team."

"Thank you, Chieftain, for trusting me."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Yuan felt a little surprised, but his face showed an arrogant and proud expression.

You must maintain your image in the outside world.

He originally thought that he would at most get the position of a team leader, but he didn't expect Fugaku to directly give him the position of a squad leader.

The security team has three squadrons under its jurisdiction, which are divided into nine detachments according to numerical numbers. The third detachment is affiliated to the first squadron.

Seeing Uchiha Yuan's happy face, Fugaku warned solemnly: "The former captain of the third squad died on the battlefield with three Mist Ninjas.

At present, Uchiha Tonghu is temporarily in charge of the third team. His seniority and strength in the team make him the only candidate originally planned to succeed him as the captain of the third team.

So Yuan, although I appoint you as the captain of the third team now, if you cannot convince the others, I will revoke your position as captain.

This is your test, Yuan, I hope you won't let me down."

The smile on Uchiha Yuan's face slowly faded, revealing a determined look.

He stared at Fugaku with a burning gaze, his whole body emitting a strong fighting spirit, and said: "Don't worry, clan leader, I understand, the strong are respected!

I will overcome all dissatisfaction."

Fugaku nodded, then said, “Now that we have discussed official matters, let’s move on to personal matters.

I summoned you today not only to arrange your position, but also for a personal matter."

Hearing this, Uchiha Yuan asked in confusion: "Clan leader, what is going on?"

Fugaku didn't answer, but instead stretched out his hands and clapped them together.

After the applause, a while later, the door on the side of the reception room was opened, revealing two kneeling figures.

It was Uchiha Mikoto and a girl who looked somewhat similar to her.

Two women came in holding a tray in their hands. On the tray was a cup of freshly brewed hot tea.

Uchiha Mikoto brought the tea to Fugaku, while the girl brought the tea to Uchiha Fuchi.

"Yuan Jun, please have some tea."

The girl gracefully picked up the teacup and handed it to Uchiha Yuan, looking at him gently with her beautiful eyes.

Uchiha Yuan only felt a faint and elegant fragrance coming, glanced at the girl, reached out to take the teacup and brought it to his mouth.

"Good tea, thank you."

Uchiha Yuan put down the teacup and his gaze paused on the girl for a few seconds.

The girl in front of him was about one or two years older than him. She had a quiet temperament, elegant posture, skin as white as cream, and eyebrows as dark as the moon. Her beautiful eyes looked at him with a hint of shyness and curiosity.

Looking at the girl, Uchiha Yuan's mind suddenly appeared the image of Senju Xue. Both girls were extremely beautiful and it was difficult to tell them apart.

Uchiha Mikoto sat down next to Fugaku with a smile on her face. Looking at Uchiha Fuchi, she couldn't help but bite her lips lightly, with a hint of resentment and annoyance in her eyes.

You little rascal, my Itachi is so outstanding, but you see, today I have to introduce my own sister to you. I really don’t want to do that.

Uchiha Mikoto was still a little annoyed with Uchiha Yuan.

Uchiha Yuan pretended not to notice the threatening look in Uchiha Mikoto's eyes. He thought to himself: The private matter the clan leader mentioned could not be related to Madam Mikoto.

At this time, Fugaku said: "Yuan, you are old now, and you can start a family in a few years."

After a pause, Fugaku turned his gaze to the girl and smiled, "Tsukune is my wife Mikoto's youngest sister, about the same age as you. You two could get to know each other."

The girl's cheeks flushed with shyness. As Fugaku finished speaking, she looked at Uchiha Yuan and opened her red lips: "Hello, Yuan-kun. It's our first meeting. I am Uchiha Tsukune. Please take care of me from now on."

At this moment, Uchiha Yuan's mind went blank. He was really frightened. His eyes widened for a moment, and his face showed an expression of astonishment and panic.

He never imagined that the private matter Fugaku was talking about was this?

This is a blind date, this is a blind date!

How old is he, yet he has been arranged to go on a blind date?

It was really caught off guard.

Seeing Uchiha Yuan's stunned expression due to shock, Uchiha Mikoto couldn't help but chuckle, feeling that the anger in her heart had dissipated.

She didn't expect that Uchiha Yuan, who had always appeared very calm and composed in front of her, would look so panicked and at a loss.

Uchiha Mikoto smiled sweetly and said, "Xiao Yuan, Tsukune is still waiting for your response."

Hearing this, the panic on Uchiha Yuan's face quickly dissipated. He looked at Uchiha Tsukune with a serious face and said, "Hello, I am Uchiha Yuan. It's our first meeting. Please forgive me if I am rude."

Some people died, but not completely...

Chapter 148 Itachi's Challenge

Courtyard, by the pool.

The water was surging and Sasuke kept throwing bait amid the cheerful calls of "ya ya", attracting all the koi in the pond to gather in front of him and scramble for food.

Suddenly, a meter-long golden koi jumped out of the water, swallowed the bait in Sasuke's hand in one gulp, then swung its tail and quickly fell back into the water.

Sasuke was hit by the fish's tail, staggered back two steps, and then fell to the ground. His little face was confused at first, then he turned his head to look around.

When Sasuke saw his brother Itachi standing not far away, but not paying attention to him, he couldn't help but pout, a layer of tears quickly appeared in his eyes, and he began to cry in grievance.

Ever since seeing Uchiha Yuan coming to meet his father, Itachi's heart has been restless. He was very curious about why his father summoned Uchiha Yuan.

Itachi's good upbringing prevented him from eavesdropping, so his eyes were always focused on the direction of the living room.

Itachi's feelings towards Uchiha Yuan are becoming more and more complicated.

Today, Uchiha Yuan is already a presence that cannot be ignored. With the strength he showed on the battlefield, he is probably not weaker than Shisui, who is recognized as the best master of the family.

I heard that Uchiha Yuan was domineering and powerful, and I thought he was as arrogant and conceited as the other Uchiha clan members.

However, on the night of the celebration, when Itachi watched Uchiha Yuan, Senju Xuan and others chatting and laughing as they left, he suddenly realized that he could not understand him at all.

Uchiha Yuan, what kind of person are you? Why did you reject Shisui?

Itachi frowned slightly, looking hesitant as he fell into deep thought.

He had a vague feeling that Uchiha Yuan might be a huge trouble for him.

Suddenly, he felt a pair of eyes staring at him, so he turned around and saw Sasuke looking at him with tears in his eyes and a wronged look on his face.

“Wow…Brother…Brother…”

Seeing that Itachi finally noticed him, Sasuke pouted and burst into tears, stammering out the word "brother".

Itachi appeared beside Sasuke in a flash, reached out and picked him up.

"I'm sorry, Sasuke. It was my brother's fault for being negligent."

Itachi whispered soothingly.

The aggrieved look on Sasuke's face quickly disappeared after he was picked up by Itachi, and he soon smiled in response to Itachi's comfort.

At this moment, Itachi heard the sound of a door being opened from the direction of the living room. He turned around and saw Uchiha Yuan saying goodbye to his father and leaving.

Under Itachi's gaze, Uchiha Yuan walked forward step by step, then stopped in a corridor and looked at Itachi face to face.

Uchiha Yuan looked down at Itachi, smiled slightly and said: "Itachi, long time no see, I heard that you killed many Kirigakure ninjas on the battlefield.

Now you have become a reliable ninja, and the clan leader is very proud of you."

Itachi said calmly: "You are too kind. Compared to you, Yuan, I am far inferior. The name of the Absolute Fierce Tiger is well-known in the ninja world."

After a pause, Itachi's expression changed, and his eyes, full of fighting spirit, stared straight at Uchiha Yuan, "Yuan, I heard that you repelled the Fourth Raikage. I would like to ask for your advice."

Uchiha Yuan said: "I don't deserve your guidance, Itachi. You are a genius that the family has high hopes for. You are proficient in ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu, while I am only focused on practicing taijutsu."

Itachi looked at Uchiha Yuan with a determined look, and said seriously: "Yuan, please feel free to teach me."

Uchiha Yuan and Itachi looked at each other, and after a few seconds of silence, he said, "Okay, Itachi, I also hope that you can bring me some surprises.

However, I'm afraid it's difficult for us to carry out this competition at the moment."

"why?"

Hearing Uchiha Yuan's words, Itachi asked hurriedly.

Uchiha Yuan said: "I have been given the position of captain of the third squad of the security team by the clan leader. I may be busy reorganizing the team in the near future."

"I understand. I'll wait for you."

Itachi said calmly, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes.

If the location wasn't inappropriate, he would have wanted to have a competition with Uchiha Yuan right away.

"Yuan-kun, Itachi, what are you talking about?"

Uchiha Tsukune walked over from a distance and asked with a smile on his face.

"Auntie."

Itachi politely saluted Uchiha Tsukune.

Uchiha Tsukune stopped beside Uchiha Yuan, looking at Itachi's calm and mature appearance like an adult, a trace of helplessness appeared on his face.

"Itachi, you're becoming less and less cute now. You're becoming more and more like your brother-in-law."

Then Uchiha Tsukune turned his gaze to Sasuke and said with a smile: "Sasuke is still cute. Our Sasuke looks just like a girl."

Seeing Uchiha Tsukune reaching out to hug him, Sasuke hugged Itachi's neck tightly to show that he didn't want to leave Itachi.

Seeing this, Uchiha Tsukune wrinkled his delicate nose, reached out and gently touched Sasuke's delicate face, and said: "Sasuke likes to pester Itachi too much."

Then Uchiha Tsukune turned her beautiful eyes to look at Uchiha Yuan, "Yuan-kun, I'm going home. Would you be willing to accompany me for a while?"

Uchiha Yuan was a little surprised, and said with a slightly unnatural look: "It's my honor."

Looking at Uchiha Yuan and Uchiha Tsukune leaving side by side, Itachi frowned slightly. He felt that there was something strange between the two.

At this time, Uchiha Mikoto came over. She took Sasuke from Itachi's arms and looked at Uchiha Yuan and Uchiha Tsukune with a complicated expression as they disappeared outside the courtyard gate.

Itachi asked, "Mom, when did my aunt meet Yuan?"

Mikoto smiled and said, "Itachi, this is what your father meant. If nothing unexpected happens, your aunt Tsukune will be Fuu's fiancée from now on."

Itachi was startled when he heard this, then frowned and said, "Mom, is Dad trying to win over Yuan?"

Mikoto nodded slightly, "Yes, although your father meant so, he didn't force Tsukune.

However, Yueyin was very satisfied with Yuan, and her heart was moved.

After all, Yuan is one of the best in the family in terms of both appearance and strength."

On the other side, after leaving the Fugaku family, Uchiha Yuan accompanied Uchiha Tsukune and walked slowly on the road.

"So Itachi is challenging you, Yuan-kun. Don't underestimate our Itachi. He is very strong."

"Well, Itachi is extremely talented. He is an opponent that must be taken seriously."

Uchiha Yuan said.

"Yuan Jun, can you tell me about the situation outside the village? I have never left the village and I don't know what the situation is like on the battlefield."

"The battlefield is not a place for fond memories. My duty is to keep war away from you. You don't need to understand the pain."

Uchiha Yuan said in a deep voice, his eyes scanning the surroundings, and then he saw several young men appearing nearby, staring at him with eyes as sharp as arrows.

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Tsukune's expression became even gentler.

She looked at Uchiha Yuan and smiled, then said softly, "Yuan-kun, you are different from the others. They only talk about their bravery on the battlefield in front of me."

Some people died, but not completely...

Chapter 149 Guard Team

"Yuanjun, thank you for taking me home. Goodbye."

At the gate of a mansion, Uchiha Tsukune said to Uchiha Yuan.

"Goodbye."

Uchiha Yuan watched the girl disappear behind the door. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly stopped.

Three figures appeared in the gate, looking at Uchiha Yuan with sharp eyes.
