Naruto: The spiritual leader of the Uchiha clan

Uchiha Hirotoshi and Uchiha Owl pushed open the door and walked towards the Sarutobi clan's territory.

At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen was looking at the information, which was the information about Uchiha Owl collected by the Anbu.

"Uchiha Oshige, son of Uchiha Donpu, grandson of Uchiha Izuna, and grandfather is Uchiha Tajima." Sarutobi Hiruzen exhaled a puff of smoke, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

Uchiha Izuna is a legendary figure, as wise as his teacher. This kid has inherited a lot of his skills.

Chapter 30 Visiting the Hokage

Sarutobi Hiruzen was smoking a cigarette, looking at Uchiha Owl's information, and smiled. Just as he put it down, a disciple from the clan came to report.

"Report, Hokage-sama, the Uchiha clan leader has brought a young man to visit you."

After he finished speaking, Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned, then stood up and said, "You said...you said the Uchiha clan leader is here?" Sarutobi Hiruzen put down his pipe, stood up straight, frowned, why did he come to visit in the middle of the night?

"Welcome them into the lobby first, I'll be there soon." After saying that, Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately changed into a more formal-looking kimono.

Then he walked towards the lobby, where Uchiha Guangzhi and Uchiha Xiao were sitting in the guest seats. It was not known whether it was intentional or not, but they sat in the first seat among the guests.

Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes, then laughed out loud, "Hahaha, it's a great honor for the Uchiha clan leader to visit my Sarutobi clan!"

Uchiha Guangzhi glanced at Uchiha Xiao, and after getting his nod, he began to say what he and Uchiha Xiao had discussed before.

"Hokage-sama, you are too polite. Uchiha Hirochi has long admired you and wanted to visit Hokage-sama, but the war was urgent and Gu was unable to come for a while. Now that the situation has just been alleviated, Hirochi has come to visit with the younger generations of the clan." Uchiha Hirochi's words were beautifully said and logical.

Sarutobi Hiruzen naturally noticed the expressions between Uchiha Hirotoshi and Uchiha Owl, but he did not point it out. Some things are enough to be clear in one's heart.

"Oh, what are you talking about, Clan Leader Guangzhi? I'm a newcomer here, and this is my first time as Hokage. I have no experience and need to rely on the care of the Uchiha clan." Sarutobi Hiruzen tried to test him.

Uchiha Hirochi was stunned. This had not been rehearsed in advance. He looked at Uchiha Owl. Uchiha Owl stood up and pulled Uchiha Hirochi to bow to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Hokage-sama, your words are too polite. You are the Hokage, the supreme leader of the village. We Uchiha should hope to be taken care of by Hokage-sama, and we Uchiha are willing to fully support all decisions made by Hokage-sama."

Uchiha Xiao did not fall into the trap, but went straight to the point, stating that the Uchiha clan stood on Sarutobi Hiruzen's side. Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned, then his face flushed, and he quickly helped Uchiha Xiao and Uchiha Hirochi up.

"Hey, hurry up, get up quickly, Chief Guangzhi, Xiao, what are you doing!" Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes were already smiling. This was a good thing. Konoha's number one powerful clan stood on his side, so the other ninja clans would probably not have any big problems.

"Someone, come here and serve tea to the two of you! You all have no eyesight at all!" As he said this, he helped Guangzhi and Xiao up and personally sent them back to their seats.

The servants of the Sarutobi clan hurried to make tea, because this was a distinguished guest!

When Sarutobi Hiruzen was sending Uchiha Owl back, he patted him on the shoulder and smiled inexplicably.

Uchiha Owl also smiled slightly. Just when Sarutobi Hiruzen was about to return to his seat, Uchiha Owl used a ninjutsu scroll to summon a ninja tool bag and then handed it to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Hokage-sama, this is a complete ninja tool bag containing all the ninja tools that we obtained through trading with the Ninja Cat Clan. I heard that your eldest son has already attended the Ninja Academy, so this is a little gift from us. I hope you will accept it." Uchiha Owl handed over the ninja tool bag.

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned, "Well, I can't accept your things. You are my guests, so I should treat you well. Take it back."

Uchiha Xiao then said, "Hokage-sama, you fought a great battle for Konoha. Thank you for your hard work. We just want to express our gratitude. Please accept it."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said righteously, "It is the Hokage's responsibility to protect the villagers. What are you doing? Take it back!" and pushed it back again.

Uchiha Xiao unleashed his trump card. "Oh, Hokage-sama, this is the sincerity of my Uchiha clan. We don't have anything else, but we have a lot of ninja tools of good quality. As soon as we heard that the young master was going to school, we sent the latest and best batch to you so that you can try it out and see if it works well. This is also a favor from the young master!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes and looked at Uchiha Owl. This kid is a talent. It's obviously a gift, but he makes it seem like his own kid is helping him. And when he said there are many ninja tools and they are of good quality, does that mean he wants to provide me with ninja tools?

After thinking for a moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and said, "Haha, then I will thank my nephew Xiao and Chief Guangzhi on behalf of my son."

Uchiha Xiao quickly said, "Hokage-sama, please don't say that. I believe that Master Shinnosuke will be a pillar of Konoha Village in the future and become a powerful leader!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen laughed out loud at the flattery and patted Uchiha Owl on the shoulders repeatedly, while Uchiha Hirotoshi on the side fell into deep thought, thinking that perhaps Uchiha Owl was more suitable to be the clan leader than him.

Then the servants of the Sarutobi clan handed three bowls of tea to the Hokage, the Uchiha clan leader, and Uchiha Owl respectively, and just as the three of them took a sip of tea.

Suddenly a man came running over. It was the Sarutobi tribe member who had reported the news before. "Report, report to the Hokage, outside..." He stopped after seeing Uchiha Hirotomo and Uchiha Owl and said no more.

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned and said, "The Uchiha clan leader and nephew Xiao are family, so you can speak without worry!"

Uchiha Xiao and Uchiha Guangzhi stood up and bowed. Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and motioned them to sit down and listen together.

"Yes! Lord Hokage, the heads of the three Ino, Shika, and Chou families are here to visit!" As he said this, he glanced at the two people from the Uchiha family.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was happy. Before, Ino-Shika-Cho was neutral, neither supporting nor opposing him. Now that the three families came together, his old friend Akimichi Touka would surely speak for him!

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up and said to Uchiha Hirotoshi and Uchiha Owl, "Please wait a moment, I will go and fetch the three clan leaders, and then we can discuss the matter together!"

"It should be so!" Uchiha Guangzhi smiled. Uchiha Xiao was sitting on the side drinking tea. He guessed that it should be Ino-Shika-Cho who came to take sides. Humph, no matter what, my Uchiha clan was the first to take sides, and in terms of influence and strength, we are more important.

As expected by Uchiha Xiao, after a while, the three family heads followed Sarutobi Hiruzen into the lobby, talking and laughing.

After seeing the people coming clearly, Uchiha Hirotoshi took a breath. It was Akimichi Tofu, a member of the second generation Hokage's guard team. The remaining two were Yamanaka Unkai and Nara Shikamei. These three were the Ino-Shika-cho and the three family heads of this generation.

Then he glanced at Uchiha Xiao. No wonder this guy asked him to visit him overnight. Uchiha Xiao continued to sip tea without moving his eyelids.

Then Sarutobi Hiruzen and Ino-Shika-Cho introduced the three families. "Oh, I forgot to tell you, tonight is a really good day. The head of the Uchiha clan and the outstanding children of the clan are also here to visit."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said this intentionally, and he also wanted to see the reactions of both sides.

Chapter 31 Cooperation

Nara Rokumei's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that at this time, the Uchiha family would also come to seek refuge. You know, no family has come to seek refuge yet.

He saw this opportunity to provide timely assistance, so he brought the heads of the Ino and Chou families to visit, but he did not expect that the Uchiha clan, one of the two powerful ninja clans, would also make the same choice.

This made him look at Uchiha Guangzhi involuntarily, but as far as he knew, although Guangzhi was smart, he should not have thought of the twists and turns here.

Then he looked at Uchiha Owl, who put down his teacup and nodded and smiled at him, then stood up and said to Sarutobi Hiruzen, "Hokage-sama, our clan leader said before he came here that no matter what, we will follow your lead from now on."

Then Uchiha Guangzhi also nodded, Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled with satisfaction, and then said with a smile, "What are you talking about? It's too kind. I am honored to have the trust of the Uchiha clan. In the future, please take good care of me, clan leader Guangzhi."

"It is we who need Hokage's care!" Uchiha Hirochi smiled slightly.

Nara Rokumei paused, and then expressed a similar idea, which made Sarutobi Hiruzen happy. They drank tea for more than two hours, and both the host and the guests were very happy before leaving.

Just when Uchiha Xiao and Uchiha Guangzhi had just stepped out of the Sarutobi clan's territory, Nara Shikaku called out, "You two, please stay!"

Uchiha Xiao and Uchiha Guangzhi were stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw Nara Luming. The two looked at each other, and Uchiha Guangzhi asked, "Chief Luming, what can I do for you?"

Nara Luming also looked at Uchiha Xiao deeply, and then smiled at Uchiha Guangzhi and said, "Clan leader Guangzhi, you are really far-sighted."

Uchiha Guangzhi was stunned and didn't understand what Nara Luming was referring to. Just as he was thinking about answering, Uchiha Xiao spoke.

"Chief Nara is not bad either. After all, it's better to invest early than late." Uchiha Xiao's tone was slightly cold. Everyone is here to invest, and it's a bit rude for you to say it so bluntly.

To put it nicely, it's investment, to put it bluntly, it's betting. They are all now Sarutobi Hiruzen's staff, and none of them is better than the other.

Nara Luming suddenly realized that it was indeed this guy. This guy was the leader of this operation. He had observed that Uchiha Guangzhi looked at Uchiha Xiao more than once while drinking tea.

He resorted to this last resort just to make sure. Of course, people who were not so smart would not understand what he meant by asking.

"I am sorry for being rude, Lord Xiao, Clan Leader Guangzhi. As compensation, I will give a 30% discount on the medicinal materials business of the Uchiha and Nara families in the future." Nara Luming is a smart man. Even if he doesn't give compensation this time, it doesn't matter.

It was just that because of Uchiha Owl's intelligence and the background of the Uchiha clan, and the fact that they were both aides of the Sarutobi lineage, he decided to give a discount after considering many factors.

Just as Uchiha Guangzhi was about to agree, Uchiha Xiao said, "As fellow ninjas from the Warring States Period, from now on, the Uchiha and Ino-Shika-Chou families can offer a 30% discount on their ninja tool business."

Nara Luming was stunned, and so were the Ino, Shika, and Chou families. Did they hear correctly? A 30% discount on ninja tools? That stuff is hard currency!

Uchiha Guangzhi was stunned, but did not contradict Uchiha Xiao in person. He nodded.

Nara Luming looked at Uchiha Xiao deeply, then smiled and said, "Thank you for the generosity of the Uchiha clan."

"It's mutually beneficial." Uchiha Hirotoshi said with a smile, and at this moment, Akimichi Tofu also said, "From now on, the Akimichi family's barbecue restaurant will also give Uchiha people a 30% discount, and can provide jobs for Uchiha civilians."

Uchiha Hirotoshi was shocked again. The Akimichi family's barbecue business was no smaller than their ninja tool business. Not only did they offer discounts, but they also provided jobs for civilians!

While he was still thinking, Yamanaka Yunhai also smiled and said, "In the future, the Yamanaka clan is willing to share information with the Uchiha clan."

Uchiha Guangzhi could hardly suppress the smile on his face. Who knew that just by making a concession, he could get so much in return? He was a little excited.

The other clan leaders smiled faintly at this and went to observe Uchiha Xiao. He saw that Uchiha Xiao's face was calm. Was he unhappy? No, he was happy, but he was the best negotiator because he did not show his emotions.

"The Ino, Deer, and Chou families have been large clans since the Warring States Period and have long been famous. Now that we are all members of the Konoha Ninja Clan, we hope you will give us guidance and take care of our Uchiha clan." Uchiha Xiao smiled slightly.

Nara Luming smiled and said, "Speaking of great clans, the Uchiha clan is the most powerful clan in the Warring States Period. Now the Uchiha clan has made so many contributions to protect the safety of Konoha. We, Ino Lu Chou, also admire them very much. Please give us your guidance."

After exchanging some polite words, the two began to walk towards their own family.

Uchiha Guangzhi began to ask, "Xiaojun, did you guess that they would return the favor, so you gave up 30% of the ninja tools?"

Uchiha Xiao paused, and he slowly said, "Master Clan Leader, they were the ones testing us at the beginning. If they agree to 30% of the medicinal materials directly, we can indeed benefit directly without any loss."

"But we will lose our cooperative relationship with these three companies, and in their eyes, we are short-sighted guys, so they will naturally not cooperate with us."

"The vast majority of people only think about taking without giving. They are the ones who are greedy for small gains. We are the Uchiha, a powerful ninja clan. If our leaders are short-sighted, we will only be weakened and weakened again."

Uchiha Guangzhi was stunned and his face turned a little red, because when Nara Luming tested him for the first time, he was a little moved. Compared with Xiao, his IQ and EQ were simply crushed.

"And does the clan leader think that we have gained huge benefits today?" Uchiha Xiao said again.

Uchiha Hirochi nodded. Although they also paid 30% of the benefits of ninja tools, they gained more.

Uchiha Xiao shook his head. "The greatest benefit today is not money, intelligence, or jobs, but the friendship between the three families. From now on, this will become the bond between the Uchiha and Ino-Shika-Cho. We have gained an ally."

the other side

Qiu Dao Qu Feng chuckled and said, "Lu Ming, you are really generous. You are giving me 30% off on the medicinal herbs. Won't your tigress eat you?"

Nara Luming waved his hand and said, "You're talking about me, aren't you the same? 30% off barbecue plus a job offer, don't think I don't know what you think."

"Compared to my two brothers, my information is not that important." Yamanaka Yunhai sighed, and Nara Rokumei patted his shoulder after hearing it.

"Yunhai, you are wrong. Among the cooperation offers from our three companies, yours is the most important. Things that can be solved with money are small matters, and things that cannot be solved with money are big matters." A light flashed in Nara Luming's eyes.

Qiu Dao Qu Feng also nodded and said, "That's right, Yun Hai, money is secondary, your information is more valuable!"

Shanzhong Yunhai chuckled, then hugged Luming and Qufeng's necks, and the three of them walked towards their home with laughter.

Uchiha Owl is a very interesting guy. I guess the future of Uchiha will depend on him.

Nara Luming thought.

Chapter 32 Meeting

Uchiha Guangzhi dragged his slightly tired body and slowly pushed open the door. The moment he stepped into the house, he still felt as if he was in an illusory dream.

Everything that happened today was unbelievable to him. Although the successful establishment of diplomatic relations with the Sarutobi clan was within his expectations, it was still a matter of great significance.

As Hokage, maintaining peace and stability in Konoha Village and promoting unity and cooperation among the various ninja clans are the top priorities.

However, what really surprised Uchiha Hirochi was the cooperation intention with the Ino, Shika, and Chou clans. You know, the Ino, Shika, and Chou clans have always been closely interdependent and have never established a formal cooperative relationship with any other ninja clan.
