Chapter 33 Several glorious and arduous tasks

Thinking of Uchiha's problems, the Sandaime was also a little worried.

In recent times, the friction between the Uchiha clan and Konoha has become increasingly severe.

The Uchiha clan was originally guarded and alienated by the upper echelons of Konoha. After the Nine-Tails Incident, this estrangement intensified, and other families also kept a distance from the Uchiha clan, leaving that clan with a faint tendency to separate from Konoha.

At this time, more and more Uchiha radicals wanted to enter the upper echelons, which made him vaguely agree with Danzo, and he had the urge to get rid of the Uchiha directly.

However, although the Uchiha clan is disobedient, it is undeniable that they are also an important part of Konoha's power. The Sharingan is really powerful, which makes him reluctant to remove it, so he has been hesitating.

The Sandaime also knows that there are actually doves within the Uchiha clan who advocate peaceful coexistence, such as his former old companion Uchiha Kagami, current Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Itachi, and even Uchiha Mikoto.

Each of them is working hard in their own way.

Needless to say, Uchiha Kage, this old classmate was almost accused as a traitor by his family back then.

Shisui himself is gentle and polite, and is welcomed by everyone. He works hard to be the lubricant between the family and Konoha. Itachi follows Shisui and also loves Konoha, while Uchiha Mikoto...

Although she did not express her position clearly, this lady did not open a store in the merchant street within the Uchiha clan, but specifically chose to open it in Konoha's commercial street. In fact, her attitude can be seen.

Maybe, this lady wants to learn from the Akimichi clan in opening a restaurant, and use this method to get closer to the people and change the reputation!

However, little effect was achieved.

The Sandaime looked at the price list and several desserts, and shook his head inwardly.

Let alone getting residents and ninjas to come and spend money as consumers, even if the store spends money to hire people, it will be very difficult!

Several of them are working hard, but can they influence the entire clan?

Not to mention, just by looking at the few Uchihas who come to this store, you can tell the style of this family.

Most people in Uchiha are unruly ninjas, and they look at people with their nostrils raised!

There are only a few humble and polite ninjas like Shisui, and other members of the Uchiha clan who are not ninjas have relatively good tempers. However, how can those who are not ninjas have a say in the family?

What's more, deep down in the heart of the Third Hokage, he also had the same worries as Danzo.

——What if Uchiha Mikoto's behavior of opening a store is not a friendly business behavior in an attempt to integrate into Konoha, but another "offensive" signal?

Maybe it’s to open a store to facilitate gathering intelligence, or maybe it’s because after getting into the upper echelons of power with no results, you start to think of ways to do something in business finance...

Although from Sarutobi's own perspective, Uchiha Mikoto does not look like this kind of woman, however, as Hokage, he must think about all aspects.

Not to mention anything else, let’s just talk about Uchiha Mikoto’s actions. As the leader of the Uchiha clan, does Uchiha Fugaku know about it? Does he support it?

You must have known about it, even if you didn't know about it originally, you should have heard about this store after it has been open for such a long time.

So if the other party is supportive, will he show his good will at this time and hope to integrate into Konoha?

Or is it an attempt to expand the influence of the Uchiha clan in this way?

With the teachings of his teacher Senju Tobirama, even though Hiruzen Sarutobi was not as extreme as Danzo, he was still deeply wary of the Uchiha clan.

In this case, at least one or two spies should have been sent to monitor the situation.

However, the embarrassing part is that if you actively come to your door to apply for a job when the residents are avoiding it, then even a fool will know that there is a problem.

Moreover, the ninjas trained through basic ninja training have some problems.

The young root ninjas are not well trained and can easily be spotted as spies. The older spies are experienced and good at acting, but they look suspicious in comparison.

If this is really a "show of goodwill" from the Uchiha clan, sending spies directly seems a bit inappropriate, as if it is over-defense.

After all, they wouldn't send spies into the Akimichi clan's shop.

From Danzo's point of view, they are the actual people in power in Konoha. The Uchiha clan is suspected of rebellion and has killed the fourth generation. It is right for them to send people to monitor them. If the Uchiha clan is dissatisfied with this, it means they have different intentions.

——They should accept their supervision gratefully.

However, as a humane Hokage, Sarutobi still felt that something was wrong.

Before meeting Akira Hanami, he was still hesitating whether to agree to Danzo. However, after meeting Akira Hanami again and learning more about the child, he had a vague idea in his mind.

He has been sending ANBU to follow Naruto to prevent the Kyuubi from going berserk.

At the same time, in order to control Naruto's psychological changes and make the other party accept his "Will of Fire", the Sandaime would not only read reports on Naruto's physical condition, but also care about the other party's friendship status, etc.

In the latest report, the analysis of Naruto's "psychological changes" submitted by the Anbu pointed out that the child had a crush - "Hanako-chan".

Don't say that Hanami Akira himself didn't put much effort into covering up. Even if he tried hard to cover up, under the thorough investigation of Lord Hokage, it would be nothing.

If Danzo was handling this matter and saw someone so "deliberately" trying to deceive the jinchūriki's "heart", he would probably be interrogated on charges of ulterior motives.

Fortunately, the third generation is not this kind of person. He himself has some impressions of Hanami Akira. In addition, he has clearly investigated all the information about Hanami Akira in the document. He knows that this is just a coincidence - this child is talking to Nara.

The boy at home lost the bet!

Being willing to accept defeat is a good quality. Do what you say and keep your word, extra points!

Make full use of the ninja soldiers' tricks that are not tired of deception. This is smart and extra points!

Take a closer look...

This child has done so many things, but in fact it is just to encourage the lazy boys of the Nara family to work hard. How could such a good boy who thinks about his companions have bad intentions?

Friendly classmates, extra points!

Scroll further...

This kid doesn't want to eat free money from his rich senior sister's house. He would rather use his savings to pay the bills. He has some backbone, extra points!

He enthusiastically helped the children of the Akimichi family overcome their own weaknesses, summarized tactics, and gained extra points!

Bonus points for gently encouraging a little girl with low self-esteem!

The favorability up bonus has never stopped.

In addition, this is a magical child who is addicted to reading the "Will of Fire" series. Do we still have to doubt Hanami Akira's character?

That's completely unnecessary!

Because of this, the Sandaime suddenly had a bold idea of ​​two or three.

"Hanako" classmate has a lot of potential as a classmate!

"Hanami Akira-kun, I have several glorious and arduous tasks for you. I wonder if you are willing to accept them?"

"???"

Hanami Akira looked at the Sandaime in astonishment and shuddered.

Can he say no?
Chapter completed!
