Naruto: The Brightest Star

"I was serious."

Uchiha Yang looked at Uchiha Xing very seriously.

No, I don't think you're serious.

Uchiha Xing looked at Uchiha Yang with a wary look on his face when he suddenly had an idea.

"Well! It's decided. I'll go talk to dad now."

Uchiha Yang said this and ran away in a flash.

"No! Wait! Bro! Cough cough cough!"

Uchiha Xing looked at the missing Uchiha Yang and couldn't help but get excited. His lungs started moving violently and he started coughing.

"Star, take a deep breath, exhale slowly, and breathe steadily."

Uchiha Qinglan gently stroked Uchiha Xing's chest to help him breathe more steadily.

"Sister Qinglan, let's go back quickly."

I just want to be a marginal figure and live my life in peace!

Uchiha Xing said as he prepared to run.

"Xingxing! Slow down, your body can't handle strenuous exercise!"

Uchiha Qinglan hurriedly ran a few steps to support Uchiha Xing, who was coughing while holding the tree because he ran too fast.

This fragile body is sometimes really annoying.

.......

When Uchiha Xing finally rushed home, he was still a step too late. Uchiha Yang had already successfully persuaded Uchiha Yu to try whether Uchiha Xing was suitable.

Perhaps there really is no particularly suitable person. People in their lineage seem to be more optimistic and Buddhist, and none of them is very suitable. For the sake of their lineage, Uchiha Yu chose his stupid son.

If it was Xiaoxing...but Xiaoxing's body might not be able to bear it.

Uchiha Yu hesitated.

Forget it, let Xiaoxing try. If Xiaoxing is not good enough, there will be a reason to let that bastard inherit this position. Even if Xiaoxing is suitable, you can let that bastard help Xiaoxing. That bastard can't want Xiaoxing to work hard.

Uchiha Yu had his own plans in mind, and found some classic and relatively simple cases in the clan to see how Uchiha Xing would solve them.

There are four elders in the tribe, who are responsible for management, internal affairs, medical care, weapons and criminal matters respectively, while all commissions are managed by the tribe leader.

The Uchiha domain is responsible for medical care, purchasing medicinal materials, managing drug research and development, and training medical doctors.

The question that Uchiha Yu gave Uchiha Xing was the most basic procurement question.

Distinguishing the quality of medicinal materials is no problem for Uchiha Xing, a pharmacist. The problem lies in how to communicate, reasonably lower the price and develop in the long term.

As a corporate slave in his previous life, Uchiha Xing was quite adept at handling this matter, but in order to prevent the Uchiha domain from really choosing him, Uchiha Xing acted stupid.

But Uchiha Yu was still very satisfied. After all, his good girl seldom went out to interact with the outside world and had never been involved in such things. But it was already very good that it could be resolved like this.

In addition to medical issues, there are also family issues. Often, many things are not decided directly by the head of the family, but are decided after consultation with the elders.

So, Uchiha Domain showed a past event and asked Uchiha Star for advice.

Uchiha Xing saw the case file in his hand, which was about a noble who wanted to have a long-term cooperation with the Uchiha clan, and the Uchiha clan would protect them in the future.

Uchiha Xing looked at the description of the nobleman above, hesitated for a moment and said: "If possible, I still think it is better to refuse. If it is a small family, it is okay to accept the nobleman. This means that they will have a long-term resource to fill the gap in the future."

"But our Uchiha clan is different from small clans. We don't need to rely solely on the volume of a clan to maintain the operation of a clan. On the contrary, if we agree, it is very likely that the other party will ask us for too many conditions, which is likely to lead to a decrease in the number of commissions we receive."

"But we can't refuse too bluntly. We need to be more tactful. The nobles are somewhat different from us. They have some connections with each other. If we are too blunt, the other party may gossip about us Uchiha to their better nobles, causing some nobles to choose not to entrust us."

“I think the more appropriate approach is to refuse long-term cooperation but accept long-term commissions.”

Uchiha Xing expressed his thoughts.

Uchiha Yang scratched his head as he listened to Uchiha Xing's words and said, "If you want to refuse long-term cooperation, then why do you want to accept long-term commissions? Aren't they the same thing?"

"Of course these two don't mean the same thing."

Uchiha Xing looked at Uchiha Yang, and then began to explain: "Long-term cooperation means that we have to accept their commissions frequently and habitually, and some commissions may not be rejected. But long-term commissions are just extending the period of a commission, and we can refuse those that should be refused."

Listening to Uchiha Xing's explanation, Uchiha Yang felt so troubled.

"Are commissions so troublesome? Fortunately, I am just doing the task. You just need to do it according to what is said. You don't need to think too much."

There is no way, since the other party is Party A’s father, we cannot offend him too much, and we also have to consider the interests of the company.

Thinking back to the client I met at the beginning, he wanted the task to be completed beautifully and without leaving any traces, but at the same time, he wanted everyone, including Black Cat, to think that there was something suspicious, but a closer investigation revealed that it was an accident.

Ah~ what a trouble. Fortunately, the client is not difficult, otherwise I would have to think of other ways.

Uchiha Xing was thinking about it, and when he turned his head, he saw Uchiha Yu looking at him with a satisfied face.

Oops! I forgot to hide my incompetence, ugh! Damn Party A, I am a social animal, and I have to work out of habit again.

But it was too late for Uchiha Xing to disguise himself. After all, in Uchiha Yu's heart, Uchiha Xing was already very suitable for this position.

Wuuuuu~ My miserable life is gone, it’s gone.

After deciding on the candidate, Uchiha Yu would tell Uchiha Xing about the affairs of the Uchiha clan whenever he had time. Whenever there was a family meeting, Uchiha Yu would take Uchiha Xing with him, and after the meeting, he would also ask Uchiha Xing about his thoughts on today's meeting.

Since every meeting, both the elders and the head of the family would have one or two trusted followers or references to the next heir, the others already knew that the person who would inherit the Uchiha domain position would be Uchiha Hoshi.

Uchiha Xing's life began to become gradually busy. Although Uchiha Yu took care of Uchiha Xing and was worried that Uchiha Xing's body could not bear it, there were still a lot of things accumulating one by one.

On this day, when Uchiha Xing squeezed out some free time to rest, Uchiha Izuna came to Uchiha Xing.

"Izuna, why are you here? Did something happen?"

Uchiha Xing asked Uchiha Izuna.

"No, I just saw you at the family meeting a while ago, and I thought that with your fragile body, if you ran so far to hand over the medicinal materials, it might be intact when you left, but not necessarily when you come back."

As Uchiha Izuna spoke, he took out a long-haired tabby cat from the box in his arms.

"This is for you. It's a ninja cat. Even though it's a little small now, it will grow bigger. Then you can choose to use it as your means of transportation. I specifically asked for this from the cat priestess. I mean, I'm not concerned about you. I'm just worried about the family's medicinal herbs. I bought them with great difficulty, but half of them went into your stomach."

As Uchiha Izuna said this, he stuffed the very beautiful ninja cat into Uchiha Xing's arms.

"Don't talk nonsense, it makes me sound like I like eating grass."

Uchiha Xing held the somewhat heavy ninja cat in his arms and quarreled with Uchiha Izuna for a few words. Then he stroked the ninja cat's fur while carefully looking at the ninja cat in his arms.

"It's so beautiful, and the fur is so soft."

Uchiha Xing lowered his head, buried his face in the ninja cat's fur, and sniffed it fiercely.

The smell of the sun

I like it very much~

Uchiha Xing held the ninja cat in his arms and started rubbing it.

The ninja cat also purred in Uchiha Xing's arms.

So comfortable, so comfortable~ This technique is no worse than that of the witch sister~

The ninja cat half-closed his eyes, raised his chin, and let Uchiha Xing scratch his chin casually.

"correct!"

Uchiha Xing suddenly thought of something, and looked up at Uchiha Izunai and said, "Izunai, how did you get this ninja cat from the cat priestess? Isn't she very picky? Few people can borrow a ninja cat from her. How did you get her to let you take the ninja cat back? You didn't exchange it for anything!"

Uchiha Xing said this and took a few steps forward, ready to start checking Uchiha Izuna.

"There was no exchange. I just asked her for it and she gave it to me."

Uchiha Izuna casually allowed Uchiha Xing to check him over.

After Uchiha Xing checked around and made sure that no parts were missing, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Okay, I just came to bring the ninja cat to you. I have other things to do, so I'll leave first. By the way, this is its recipe, just remember to make cat food for it according to the recipe."

Uchiha Izuna said this and handed a piece of paper to Uchiha Xing, then left.

"Hmm~ He must be hiding something from me." Uchiha Xing narrowed his eyes and looked at Uchiha Izuna who was walking away.

"Ask me, ask me, I was there at the time, meow~"

The ninja cat rubbed Uchiha Xing's face, with obvious gossipy eyes.

"What did Izuna do?"

Uchiha Star asked the ninja cat.

"Hehe~ He promised the miko sister to help her take care of the ninja cats for half a year, which includes finding cats, cleaning, making cat meals, making cat clothes, cat toys, and... bathing meow."

When it comes to "taking a bath", Oshikane's face suddenly turns bitter.

"Hey! Is that so? So he said he had something to do. Could it be that the cat witch went to work somewhere?"

Uchiha Xing said thoughtfully.

"Yeah, that's it, meow."

Shinobi Neko said as he washed his face with his paws.

"Come to think of it, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Xing, what's your name?"

Uchiha Star asked the ninja cat.

"My name is Ali's meow~"

Ahri raised her paw and spoke happily.

"Ahri~ What a cute name."

Uchiha Xing raised his hand and gently pinched the pad of Ali's raised paw.

So soft~ or pink claws~
