After doing all this, Itachi, lying on the bed, couldn't help but sigh.
"It seems I was too naive."
"The more I interact with my teacher, the more I realize how insignificant I am."
"But, it doesn't matter."
"I will study hard and surpass my teacher in the future."
"It's just these two study tasks, they're really a headache!"
"Learning, understanding, and analyzing the will of fire is fine, but trying to create an ideology that suits me, just thinking about it gives me a headache!"
"Also, get a girlfriend."
"That's even more difficult, girls are simply too troublesome!"
"…"
Itachi mumbled.
His brows furrowed slightly, clearly in a lot of pain.
He even subconsciously started to picture a figure in his mind when he mentioned a girlfriend.
Uchiha Izumi!
… The next day, early in the morning.
Although Fugaku had spoken well last night and decided to hand the matter over to Uchiha Jin to resolve.
However, after waking up.
He still felt uneasy, so he rushed to Jin-kun's house in a hurry.
After all, no matter what.
This was the first ally the Uchiha Clan would soon have.
As the Uchiha Clan Leader, how could he not be excited?
Good heavens!
This was the first Ninja Clan ally since Uchiha Madara left Konoha and the Uchiha were ostracized by Konoha!
By the time Fugaku arrived, Uchiha Jin had already returned.
At this moment, he was wearing casual clothes, sitting at a tea table with Aburame Shibi.
Jin-kun, who was making tea, smiled when he saw Fugaku.
"Oh, the Clan Leader is here."
"Sit down quickly, I'll just make you a cup."
"This is something I 'borrowed' from Sarutobi Hiruzen's house. This is the top-grade tea in the Land of Fire, specifically for Daimyos and other nobles!"
"Both of you, you are in luck."
Uchiha Jin had a smile on his face.
Yes.
He understood the principle of a thief not leaving empty-handed!
He guarded Sarutobi Hiruzen's door all night, even more dedicated than the Anbu.
What's wrong with taking some things when leaving?
His attitude, showing no shame but rather pride, immediately caused Fugaku and Aburame Shibi to get a headache.
Their mouths twitched even more severely!
In the entire Konoha, no one else would dare to do this.
However.
Although their faces showed embarrassment, they still raised their teacups.
Taking a small sip, the tea aroma filled the air.
Perhaps because it came from the Hokage's house and was obtained through 'unethical' means.
So, this tea naturally had a unique flavor when combined.
The three chatted for a while.
Uchiha Jin then smiled and said: "Aburame Clan Leader, let's be frank."
"Since you are bringing the Aburame Clan to join my Uchiha, just tell me directly what you want."
Aburame Shibi became serious.
Without any pretense, he directly repeated what he had said last night.
Then, he spoke helplessly.
"The Aburame Clan is not large, only a mid-tier Ninja Clan."
"There aren't many clan leaders within the family, so we don't need any industries."
"The current family industries are already enough for the Aburame Clan to spend."
"Our Aburame Clan just wants to pass down our legacy well, but Danzo, relying on Sarutobi Hiruzen's protection, has repeatedly transferred personnel from the Aburame Clan."
"This is something our Aburame Clan cannot accept!"
"The Aburame Clan is willing to ally with the Uchiha and will accept Jin-kun's command in the future."
"As long as the Uchiha can ensure the stability of the Aburame Clan and rescue our clan's genius, Shino Ryoma, and not intentionally use the Aburame Clan as cannon fodder during future operations, 693."
"That's enough!"
Fugaku remained silent.
He already knew these words last night, but he couldn't make up his mind.
So, now.
He wanted to see what Uchiha Jin would say.
More precisely.
He wanted to see the gap between himself and Uchiha Jin in handling matters.
In his sight, Uchiha Jin's expression remained unchanged.
He didn't even think.
He just nodded directly, then immediately stated his position.
"No problem, it's very fair!"
"Since the Aburame Clan is allied with the Uchiha, and with my Uchiha as the lead."
"Then protecting the Aburame Clan is the Uchiha's responsibility!"
"Shino Ryoma, my Uchiha will rescue him for sure."
"Don't talk about Danzo and the Hokage, not even the Sage of Six Paths can stop us!"
"I said this."
"I guarantee that by tomorrow morning at the latest, the Aburame Clan Leader will be able to see Shino Ryoma."
Uchiha Jin's tone was calm.
Clearly.
This small matter was not really any trouble for him.
It was a simple task!
Moreover, he was quite satisfied with the Aburame Clan.
This clan was too sensible.
If it were another Ninja Clan, relying on being the first to join, they would at least demand various benefits.
But the Aburame Clan did not, they only hoped to save their own clan member.
If the Uchiha couldn't even handle this much, what qualifications did they have to attract others to join them?

Aburame Shibi was full of gratitude.
At this moment.
She was serious!
