After Konoha entered this weakened state in the original work, the Uchiha Clan began to plan a coup. If these people were still completely intact, would the Uchiha do something so foolish?
Relatively speaking, the Uchiha calling themselves Konoha's strongest clan was not boasting, but comparing a clan to an entire village, the Uchiha doing so would only bring about their own destruction.
The situation became confusing and elusive, leaving Rong Lin a bit bewildered, unable to guess what kind of mentality the Third Hokage held.
"I'll be right there."
Rong Lin replied without turning his head. As he walked towards home, he needed to change his clothes and wash up. After staying in the Land of Rain for a few days, his whole body was stinky and muddy. Who would like to walk around covered in filth?
"Clan Head."
Uchiha Fugaku had not changed much. He still had a stern face, but he had grown a beard. Perhaps he felt that this made him more imposing, allowing people to overlook his age. Did having a beard really make one look older?
"Sit."
Uchiha Fugaku put down his teacup. Uchiha Mikoto smiled and nodded at him. After pouring tea, she got up and left.
"I heard you went to Hokage Rock with the Hokage-sama." As soon as Rong Lin sat down, Uchiha Fugaku's question came, and it was about him going to Hokage Rock with the Third Hokage.
"Mm." Rong Lin nodded and explained indifferently: "We discussed some matters about the Fourth Hokage candidates."
"Really?" Uchiha Fugaku's expression changed, and he immediately became agitated. It showed how much he valued this matter. He didn't hesitate to put aside his dignity and try to pull Rong Lin back, inviting him to return to the Uchiha. Besides valuing his strength, what he valued most was the Fourth Hokage candidate!!!
"It's like hinting that they won't target the Uchiha in this matter." After telling Uchiha Fugaku the Third Hokage's intention, Rong Lin said nothing more.
At this point in the conversation, how to proceed was a matter for the Uchiha clan. Anyway, there was no suitable candidate in the Uchiha clan, and he was nominally a Uchiha. It wasn't 100%. Rong Lin thought this, and Uchiha Fugaku knew it too.
"I understand, you go back and rest." This news excited Uchiha Fugaku. He hadn't expected Rong Lin to give him such astonishing news.
Originally, when Rong Lin's strength was planned to reach S-rank, he already felt very surprised. But now, it was almost as if a huge cake had fallen from the sky, hitting Uchiha Fugaku with a resounding thud.
It wasn't that Uchiha Fugaku was useless. The Fourth Hokage candidacy was truly important to the Uchiha. How could Uchiha Fugaku, who desperately wanted to prove himself, not be anxious and agitated?
"Then I think I'll take my leave."
Looking at Uchiha Fugaku, who for the first time showed other emotions, Rong Lin stood up to leave. But just as he reached the door, Uchiha Fugaku reminded him:
"Go back and get some good rest. I'll build momentum for you. Also, about Uchiha Izumi, she's a good girl, even though she has some minor quirks."
"???"
Coming out of Uchiha Fugaku's house, several huge question marks hung over Rong Lin's head.
"What does that mean, Uchiha Izumi?"
He hadn't done anything out of line, had he??
Could it be... Rong Lin immediately thought of a possibility, but he also felt it was absurd and hurriedly shook his head, throwing this absurd thought away. This shouldn't be possible. Uchiha Izumi's father was the clan's second elder. Even if the Uchiha clan valued males over females, this shouldn't happen.
That's right, he must have overthought it! With this thought, Rong Lin returned home.
"Sister~~"
But at this very moment, on the other side, Uchiha Izumi was looking at her sister, Uchiha Mikoto, her eyes red and almost about to cry. She couldn't believe that she had become a gift for their own benefit, and the person she would need to rely on in the future was actually that hateful Uchiha Rong Lin!!
"I'm sorry, sister. I tried my best. You know, some things, once decided, cannot be changed." Uchiha Mikoto hugged her sister, heartbroken.
"But Uchiha Rong Lin is not bad either. He's mature in his ways, strong, and he's also handsome, isn't he?"
"Sister!!!" Uchiha Izumi widened her eyes in disbelief. This was something her sister would say. She complained with dissatisfaction: "...But, I don't want to!"
"Silly child, you need to be more open-minded. Don't think about these things, or you'll only get sadder." Uchiha Mikoto smiled and shook her head. Fortunately, although her sister was unhappy, she didn't resist too much, otherwise Uchiha Mikoto really wouldn't know what to do.
"I... I... I..." Uchiha Izumi stammered for a long time but couldn't say a complete sentence. Just thinking that she would be with Uchiha Rong Lin from tomorrow made her extremely embarrassed. Although it was just living under the same roof, it didn't mean they would do other things, but this was no small test for a girl. What if Uchiha Rong Lin was a pervert!!
That guy actually came to her family's celebration in person last time. Many people were there at the time. Just thinking about that day made Uchiha Izumi's small face blush uncontrollably.
...
And so, a little girl named Uchiha Izumi (who behaved well) appeared beside Rong Lin. When Uchiha Izumi arrived at his home with many things, Rong Lin was stunned, what was this?!
Was she directly given to him? Although Uchiha Izumi's expression at the time was very unwilling, she didn't make any drastic moves. Her behavior was very docile, even helping with some tasks.
What surprised Rong Lin was still to come. Uchiha Izumi, this little princess, actually knew how to do housework!!! This made Rong Lin feel as if he had seen an alien. This feeling was a bit unreal.
"What are you looking at?" Uchiha Izumi puffed out her small face and glared at him. "Oh, oh."
Rong Lin awkwardly picked up his bowl and chopsticks. Still a bit dazed, he took two bites of food. Rong Lin could only say: "The taste is not bad."
