Chapter 34 Being Watched by a Dog
Find them?
Tsunade paused slightly, sensing that Fugaku Uchiha's choice of words was a bit strange.
But she didn't take it too seriously.
Now that the other party has agreed to help, she has already achieved her goal of coming here.
Lately, aside from going to izakayas and casinos, she has been spending the rest of her time searching for the boy she met at the izakaya that day.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned, and Tsunade never encountered him again...
As for why we needed to get him out, the reason is actually quite simple.
She wanted to make up for her "deficiency".
On August 9th, which was Nawaki's birthday, she went to an izakaya to drown her sorrows in alcohol. When she woke up, she saw a boy.
Recognizing that the fan on the other person was the symbol of the Uchiha clan, Tsunade immediately assumed that this was a naturally evil brat secretly drinking alcohol.
The result was that I went and disrupted their little ceremony celebrating their promotion to genin...
This was, of course, a minor matter, and perhaps even the boy himself has forgotten what happened.
But Tsunade still remembered the words the boy had said.
He said he wanted to become Hokage.
He said he longed for the affection of a sister.
And the boy's aggrieved tone when she questioned him about drinking alcohol. Tsunade still remembered it all clearly.
The guilt in her heart was like aged wine, growing stronger with each passing year, to the point that she had lost all interest in drinking and gambling in the last two days.
She wanted to make amends for something.
I at least want to see the other person once.
That's why she came to the police station after her search failed.
"Then I'll leave it to you," Tsunade said, slightly relieved.
"Please trust the capabilities of our security force." Fugaku Uchiha nodded. "In that case, Lady Tsunade, please give a brief description of that person's appearance."
Tsunade then gave a general description of Uchiha Ike's appearance.
Height, clothing, appearance, hairstyle.
I don't know if it's just my imagination.
As she described it, the expression on Fugaku Uchiha's face gradually became strange.
Especially when she mentioned the boy's unique hairstyle, Fugaku Uchiha's expression became quite interesting.
"What's wrong?" Tsunade asked, looking at Fugaku Uchiha with a puzzled expression.
"No..." Fugaku Uchiha shook his head.
"I will find him in the clan's territory before noon tomorrow." Fugaku Uchiha hesitated for a moment, then whispered to Tsunade, "Where would Tsunade like to meet him?"
If possible, he hoped that when Tsunade punished that clansman, she wouldn't choose a place that was too conspicuous.
After all, the fact that the Third Hokage's student beat up a member of the Uchiha clan is not a good thing for the Uchiha clan, no matter how it's spread.
"Right here," Tsunade replied without much hesitation. "Just give me some private space later."
Fugaku Uchiha glanced at Tsunade with some surprise, feeling that this Senju princess, known for her fiery temper, was surprisingly easy to talk to now.
If the fight starts here, it'll be much easier to clean up afterwards...
Thinking of this, Fugaku Uchiha nodded and said respectfully to Tsunade, "Then I will bring the person that Lady Tsunade wishes to see here at noon tomorrow."
Tsunade nodded in satisfaction, then got up and left with her entourage.
The office door was quietly and gently closed.
Fugaku Uchiha did not sit down immediately, but silently walked to the window and slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.
He already knew who Tsunade was looking for.
There's probably only one guy in the entire Uchiha clan with such a handsome, ramen-noodle-headed appearance, and he's recently had some contact with him.
Uchiha Ike.
As the head of his clan, Fugaku Uchiha didn't actually like this boy very much.
It's not that there's anything wrong with the other person's character; on the contrary, the boy's keenness and patience are beyond question, as he was able to discover Danzo's spy planted in the clan's territory before the security forces did.
But he still couldn't bring himself to like it.
Whether it was the meeting in the clan's territory or the second chance encounter at the ramen shop.
Despite the warm smile on the other person's face, he always sensed a deep-seated pride in him.
Uchiha are all proud, but Uchiha Ike gives off a different vibe.
Despite being just a genin, he gave Fugaku Uchiha the feeling that he might break free of control at any moment.
This feeling was familiar, and it unconsciously reminded him of his child at home, Itachi Uchiha.
While other children couldn't even speak clearly, Itachi was already able to sense the existence of chakra. Even the Third Hokage personally praised Itachi as a genius.
This talent, which was so obvious to the naked eye, also gave Fugaku Uchiha a feeling of being out of control.
But deep down he felt proud and even more confident:
Even if he himself cannot make this ninja clan great again, his children will certainly be able to do it.
Fugaku Uchiha firmly believed this.

The next day.
The Naka River.
After gathering at the foot of the Hokage Rock, Uchiha Ike, Kakashi, and Might Guy arrived there.
Facing the cool morning breeze.
Uchiha Ike sat on a rock under the locust tree, eating a warm beef pancake, watching with relish the two intersecting afterimages on the shore.
That's Kakashi and Might Guy dueling.
Might Guy's taijutsu was clearly more refined, and every movement was crisper and more decisive than Kakashi's.
Such accumulation leads to a significant gap, and there is already a tendency for the opponent to be suppressed.
But this is an unrestricted duel, so it obviously won't just be a contest of physical skills forever.
In a fleeting moment when Matt Kay's body stiffened.
Kakashi slightly turned his body and jumped back, creating distance as he threw three sharp kunai from his right hand, aiming them at Might Guy's eyes, heart, and thigh respectively.
Might Guy quickly squealed and twisted his body, barely dodging the kunai's attack in a comical and bizarre posture.
But in that brief moment, Kakashi suddenly sprang up from his spot and instantly appeared at Might Guy's location.
He squinted and twisted his body, instantly producing a chakra dagger in his hand.
With a sharp glint of light, Kakashi gripped the hilt of his sword and slashed upwards toward Might Guy's chin!
Might Guy let out another strange cry, pulled out a nunchaku from behind his back, and skillfully deflected Kakashi's chakra dagger.
Then came the sound of metal clashing, and the two began a passionate clash of physical skills and weapons.
And at that very moment—
Uchiha Ike also finished the beef pancake in his hand.
Eat like crazy!
Just as he was patting his belly contentedly after eating and drinking his fill, he suddenly heard a clear bell ring in his ear.
[Detected confusion from Uchiha Fugaku!]
[Gain 10 points and increase defense by 2%!]
"?"
Uchiha Ike stared blankly at the system, slowly typing out a big question mark.
Even though he hadn't pooped, he felt like he was being stared at by a dog.
P.S.: There will be another chapter later. I've been working overtime and haven't eaten yet, please forgive me, dear readers...
