Chapter 21: The First Approach to Uchiha(1/2)
"Well, which side is the Uchiha clan's residence?"
On the streets of Konoha Village, Qi Zheng followed the information he asked for along the way.
After realizing his inappropriate behavior, of course he would not really wait for Uchiha Hide to "deliver the goods to his doorstep", and that was not the way it was staged.
Everyone in Konoha recognized the Uchiha clan, and of course no one knew where their residential area was. Soon, Qi found this place.
Just like the information he got from the comics, the Uchiha clan lived on the outskirts of the village. This position as a guard almost turned the Uchiha clan into a role like the gatekeepers of Konoha.
Qi felt a chill in his heart when he thought that the three generations of Hokages from the Senju clan had spent decades turning a super powerful clan that dominated the ninja world from a tiger into a lynx.
It's no wonder that Uchiha will be exterminated in the end. In terms of political tactics, Uchiha is really far behind Senju...
Strong power is certainly useful, but after reaching a certain level, even ninjas seem to have to take a more cunning route...
"Stop anyone who comes!"
At the intersection leading to the Uchiha clan's territory, two Uchiha clan members dressed in black saw Qi Zheng walking towards the family's residence and immediately stopped him.
Both Uchiha and Hinata have their own territories. Even if the Hokage wants to enter the territories of the two clans, he will notify them in advance.
"Who are you? From here on, it is the territory of my Uchiha clan. No one can enter or leave without permission."
The older Uchiha tribesman stared at Qi with fierce eyes.
"Please stop immediately!"
"I'm sorry, I'm Kaguya Qi. I'm here to pay a visit to Uchiha Hide. Could you please inform me."
Qi was very sensible and stopped within a tolerable distance between the two of them.
"Huiyue? Never heard of it..."
The Uchiha tribesman frowned. He had indeed never heard of the surname Huiyue...
The history of the Uchiha clan is almost as long as that of the ninja world. The family ideology is very strong. When dealing with outsiders, they often give priority to checking the other person's last name instead of looking at what the person is like.
"What is your relationship with Master Xiu? You actually call him by his first name?"
This member of the Uchiha clan finally determined that he had never heard of the surname Huiyue, but the fact that the other party called Uchiha Hide by his first name also made him scrupulous.
"Young Master? It seems that that boy Xiu has some identity..."
Qi was slightly startled by the Uchiha's name for Xiu, but he didn't pay much attention to it. To be honest, Xiu didn't look like an ordinary Uchiha.
He muttered something softly, then smiled and said,
"I'm his teammate for this mission. There's no special relationship. I'm just here to visit."
He didn't mind being shut out. Anyway, he just walked away if the other party rejected him. Knowing the fate of this family, he didn't want to have a good relationship with this family in the first place.
He came here purely because of Uchiha Hide, a good comrade in arms.
"teammate?"
The two Uchiha clan members exchanged glances. To Qi's surprise, their expressions softened.
"It turns out he is Master Xiu's comrade. Could you please wait a moment so that I can inform you."
"Oh, no..."
Although some Zhang Er was confused, Qi still said this out of politeness.
In fact, he underestimated the teammate relationship in the ninja system. It is common for ninjas who don't know each other to become best friends because of their teammate relationship.
The ninja team is a long-term establishment. Unless they die, they rarely change people. They are originally meant to share life and death. In addition, it is normal for teammates to become best friends once they are born and become friends again...
When Konoha's top management coordinates conflicts between various families, they often organize the younger generations of these families into a team and become teammates, using emotions to ease disputes over interests.
"Qi, why are you here? I was just going to go to your house."
Not long after, Uchiha Hide was brought over by the Uchiha tribesmen who had gone to inform him earlier. He looked surprised.
"Well... I thought about it, after all, is it better for you to give me something, or for me to get it myself."
Qi Gan laughed twice.
"Well said! You will set things up for me as soon as you return to the village. If you really wait for me to show you to your door, I will really look down on you."
Uchiha Xiu looked at Qi with a smile,
"But since you are here, I don't mind. Just come and sit at my house."
"Isn't this bad..."
Qi was embarrassed for a moment,
"How dare you disturb your family."
Of course, what he really wants to say is: You Uchiha people are so arrogant and arrogant, why don't you let me have a warm face and a cold butt? That would be embarrassing...
"Are you embarrassed too?"
Uchiha was happy,
"Stop talking nonsense! You have to come even if you don't come today. Do you want to go alone or let me carry you in?"
As he spoke, Uchiha Hideyuki chuckled sinisterly a few times, which made Qi break into a cold sweat. This was no better than a battlefield. He couldn't fight back...
"Then I'd better go by myself..."
"That's right, why are you pretending to be at my house..."
"..."
In desperation, Qi had no choice but to follow Xiu and entered the territory of the Uchiha clan.
To be honest, it almost made him think that he had arrived in another village...
The people here are all from the Uchiha clan, and even the styles of clothing are similar. When an outsider like Qi walks on the street, he is really noticeable. As soon as he appears, the Uchiha clan members on the street start to look at him.
They all turned their eyes over, making Qi feel uncomfortable.
Both Uchiha and Hinata, because of their paranoid family consciousness, manage their territory like a city within a city. Well, in the ninja village of Naruto World, it is probably a village within a village... Although
It’s a mouthful to say that…
Consciousness determines attitude, and attitude determines achievement. Qi finally understood from another aspect why the Senju and Uchiha clan, who were neck and neck in the past, have become further and further apart...
As for Hinata...it's not even as good as the Uchiha clan. Although it's not that they look down upon it, the system of dividing clans and branch clans according to birth order is simply a huge bomb that will cause trouble sooner or later.
In comparison, the family system of the Uchiha clan is much better than that of the Hyuga clan. It does not divide clans at all, but only depends on strength. Whoever has higher strength will have a higher status in the clan to which he belongs.
Putting aside the low-key life of the Senju clan, which has penetrated everywhere and has long been integrated with the entire Konoha, the Uchiha clan is indeed the strongest clan in Konoha Ninja Village...
But for some reason, Qi couldn't feel the same vitality in this family that he felt in the Shui Wuyue clan.
The Minazuki clan, in terms of strength, is far inferior to the Uchiha. It can even be said that they are not on the same level at all. However, the Minazuki clan is full of desire for the future and absolute self-confidence. Even if they offend the famous names of the Kingdom of Water,
There was no fear at all.
The Uchiha clan, however, failed to give Qi this feeling. Although the street was lively, Qi only felt an "old" air and no vitality.
"Xiu, is this the friend you were talking about?"
When I walked to a house, a middle-aged man opened the door and walked out. From his appearance, he seemed to be going out.
"Yes, uncle."
Xiu said respectfully.
"Well, you are a nice young man. If you have time, please come and sit with us more often."
Xiu's uncle looked at Qi and nodded,
"Since Xiu is willing to bring you here, it means that you are very good friends, which is rare. Treat this place as your home."
After saying that, he patted Xiu on the head and left.
"Oh... why does my uncle keep slapping me on the head... I'm an adult now, it's really troublesome..."
Rubbing his head, Xiu looked at his uncle's back with dissatisfaction.
"If you keep patting your head, you will become stupid..."
After looking at Xiu and then at Xiu's uncle who had moved further and further away, Qi wanted to complain, but he held back.
He becomes an adult when he is a teenager? Doesn’t he become an old man after counting his age in his previous life?
"Uncle, this habit is really annoying...forget it, Qi, let's go into the house."
After muttering for a long time, until his uncle could no longer be seen, the scholar reluctantly stopped complaining and led Qi into his home.
"Xiu, you're back... Oh, is this the friend you were talking about?"
After walking a few steps, a young woman walked towards him. Like Xiu's uncle, she asked Qi the same question after seeing him.
Qi conservatively estimated that this was to show off his mother...
"Yes, mother."
Xiu pulled Qi up.
"This is the Hui Yue Qi I mentioned to you and my father."
