Uchiha clan meeting

As a more in-depth study of natural energy is needed, the laboratory naturally has to be more formal.

"Things here must not be known to outsiders, and research equipment purchases must also be done in secret."

Ruri looked very serious.

Natural energy is very important, not to mention outsiders, she doesn't even want to reveal it to the Uchiha clan.

"We can't let the maids know, but it's hard for both of us..."

Shiraishi was about to be embarrassed, Ruri put his thumb in his mouth and bit, immediately started to seal, and finally slammed his palm on the floor.

"Kuchiyose no Jutsu!"

White smoke came out with a roar.

A black cat appeared in front of Baishi and Ruri.

Almost half the size of a human, tail wagging at Ruri.

Ruri produced a list of the names of various research equipment.

"Buy all of the above and I'll accept them in one day."

The black cat nodded decisively and disappeared into the white smoke with a bang.

Shiraishi looked at the spot where the black cat disappeared: "This is..."

"We Uchiha and the Ninoma clan have always had a good relationship. Before going to school, I signed a contract with some of the Ninoma. Let them do things safely and quietly enough to avoid the eyes and ears of the village. ."

The Ninoma clan is active in the humble corners of the ninja world, where there will be more or less shadows of the Ninoma clan. Whether you want to know what's new or buy goods, your mobility is first class.

Baishi sighed, Ruri's connections, this is the difference between rich and ordinary people.

It not only has its complete training system, but also a variety of informative books for reference, as well as a wider network of people than the average person.

Staying at Ruri's house, this incident did not cause any inconvenience, for the whole village, this is a trivial matter.

Now Shiraishi lives in a room comparable to a luxury hotel, sleeps in a soft, plush bed and eats a nutritious breakfast carefully prepared by the maids in the morning. If he is tired, he can take a walk in the yard, go fishing in the lake. Ruri's family servants are very helpful, he lives like a young master.

In the days when I lived the life of luxury, life became monotonous and banal.

Although he occasionally received an odd sneer from the maid at Ruri's house, Shiraishi was indifferent to it.

He is hardworking and motivated and can eat soft foods with his true ability. What do these maids know?

Now Baishi can only practice with Ruri once in a while. When classes are over, he will quickly return to the underground laboratory Ruri bought for him to research and channel natural energy.

Only by successfully directing natural energy can the next step of natural chakra fusion be accomplished.

For this reason, Ruri's basement often exploded. Although the fluctuations were small, Ruri made the lab environment more stable to hide it completely, until no vibrations were felt.

Enhancing the lab environment, they used defensive shields transported from the Iron Kingdom.

According to Ruri, these amounted to 45 million taels, occupying a tenth of his allowance money in his bank account.

Baishi just wanted to know what kind of small businesses Ruri's parents were doing out there that allowed Ruri to live such an ordinary life.

The first month of stay in Ruri's house ends.

Shiraishi returned to the lab after school in the afternoon and continued to research natural energy, while Ruri went to Nanga Shrine to participate in the January family home evening.

Nanga Shrine.

The sky was dark, the torches on both sides of the road were lit and the road leading to the top of the shrine could be seen clearly.

Reaching the top of Nanga Shrine, entering the shrine buildings, using art to open the sealed slab, Uchiha Ninja descended one after the other.

In the empty cellar, an ancient stone stele burned on either side, illuminating the dark cellar.

There are more than 20 people gathered here, Tokubetsu Jōnin or Jōnin, some Jōnin didn't come because they are doing errands outside, so they can only be absent.

At the clan meeting held in January, there was nothing important to announce, the relationship between the Uchiha and Konoha was still going well.

Except for a few high-ranking officials, who will either be displeased with or hostile to the Uchiha clan.

The Uchiha clan will not answer anything.

As Konoha's #1 Ninja Clan, they have that kind of trust.

Even the Hokage cannot treat the Uchiha clan lightly, not to mention high-level ones who are weaker than the Hokage.

At the clan meeting, trivial matters were also dealt with. Where the training ground is broken, have Konoha residents complained about the police force recently? Are there good seedlings in the clan that are worth growing? This month's cost is higher than the previous month, does household income in the sector increase?

After an hour, the clan meeting ended at a long, tedious pace.

"Ruri, Fugaku, you stay."

He spoke of an old man with gray hair, over sixty years old and his face full of wrinkles.

Uchiha Zane.

He is the most prestigious elder of the Uchiha family. Due to his advanced age, he has retired from his career as a ninja and lives in the back. He has the important task of cultivating geniuses in the Uchiha family.

There was also a seventeen or eighteen year old Uchiha Fugaku who was called with Ruri.

He looks handsome with no immaturity on his face, giving people a mature and stable demeanor.

Like Ruri, Fugaku is a genius ninja from the Uchiha clan. He passed the jōnin exam last year and became an excellent young jōnin.

Furthermore, his Sharingan is complete, and his advantage is also very obvious when facing a Jōnin of the same level.

Ruri and Fugaku knelt in front of the old man, silently waiting for him to speak.

"If nothing happens, the next patriarch will be chosen between the two of you."

"Yea."

When Elder Zane said that, Ruri and Fugaku didn't change their faces.

"You two are undoubtedly rare Uchiha talents, and you can open the Mangekyou Sharingan."

Ruri and Fugaku were a little moved when they heard Elder Zane talk about the Mangekyou Sharingan.

The Mangekyou Sharingan is the ultimate eye above the Sharingan.

The Uchiha who opened the Mangekyou Sharingan was Uchiha Madara who founded the village of Konoha with Senju Hashirama.

These are the legendary eyes that can only be opened by the Uchiha.

As the most experienced veteran of the Uchiha clan today, Elder Zane was already one of the best ninja in the village when Konoha was established. He may not know all the secrets of the Uchihas, but he has more knowledge than most Uchihas.

This includes the secret to awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan.

"Elder Zane, what are the conditions for awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan?"

It was Fugaku who asked that question.

His Sharingan has reached the level of three tomoe, which is the highest level of the common Sharingan. He is more eager than Ruri to learn about the method of promoting the Sharingan.

Only in this way can he become the Uchiha's patriarch without fail and take the Uchiha to new heights.

He feels that he is now strong enough to contact the Mangekyou Sharingan.

"Fugaku, your Sharingan with three tomoe is not enough, you still need to keep exercising. In a few days, I will recommend you to the Hokage, I will let you and other Konoha ninja form a team to carry out the tasks."

"Yea."

Fugaku obeyed. He was taught by Elder Zane and was extremely convinced of the arrangements made by Elder Zane.

He must have his considerations for this arrangement.

"Elder Zane, what am I going to do?"

asked Rui.

"Your luck is better than Fugaku's. You've met the conditions to open the Mangekyou Sharingan. So you just need to temper the ordinary Sharingan to the limit. When the time is right, I'll tell you the method."

Elder Zane looked at Ruri with deep meaning.

His attention to Ruri must be greater than Fugaku's.

She has a deep bond with the village's ninja, as well as her dedication to power and her unrivaled talent in using the Sharingan...

At that time, to gain the strongest power, she would not be able to resist temptation.

At that time, the Uchiha clan will once again usher in prosperity, completely surpassing the Senju.

"Yea."

I wonder why the eldest said that. I'm more likely to open the Mangekyou Sharingan than the Fugaku. I just needed to exercise the regular Sharingan to the limit. Ruri didn't think deeply, just nodded, indicating that she knew.

Compared to the patriarch's position, she is more interested in the method of awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan.
