Chapter 150: Fugaku visits, asks for Itachi to become an apprentice

And, on the other side.

Uchiha clan grounds.

Uchiha Jin looked content.

Lying on a lounge chair in his small courtyard, holding a purple clay teapot in his left hand, with a bunch of grapes on the small table to his right, he looked incredibly leisurely.

While sunbathing, he thought silently.

"This kind of life is what a human should live."

"Working yourself to death every day, what's the point of that?"

"So much time has passed, and the Hyuga side is still like a headless fly; it seems this matter has been successfully brushed off."

"With this, Hyuga Aya can barely be considered one of my own."

"I imagine that unless forced, she certainly won't betray me in the future."

"Hmm, very good!"

"The Third Great Ninja War has little to do with me, and Sarutobi Hiruzen won't let me participate."

"It seems I can properly lie flat and slack off until the Nine-Tails incident."

He looked incredibly relaxed.

Especially thinking that for the next few years, he would be completely away from the noise, needing only to hunker down at home and develop, he felt very comfortable.

This kind of life was what he wanted.

And, on the other side.

Hyuga Aya's matter was also resolved, and he hadn't been exposed from start to finish.

Perfect!

As for the village side, there was no need to mention it.

Sarutobi Hiruzen just wanted to suppress him; that guy would be happy to let him retire at home.

The reality was exactly that.

Haven't you noticed that he had been back for so long, and Sarutobi Hiruzen hadn't summoned him even once?

Thinking of this.

A faint smile appeared on his lips.

Retirement?

If it were someone else, they might really be ruined by it.

But, he was different!

He didn't care about fame, and going to the battlefield would only delay his cultivation.

Only by being as leisurely as he was now could his strength grow stronger step by step.

And after becoming a clan elder, he didn't even have the status of a ninja anymore.

As long as nothing happened to the Uchiha clan, he could live stylishly for a lifetime.

Could there be a better situation than this?

However.

Speaking of the Uchiha clan, he felt a bit of a headache.

To maintain his current leisure as much as possible, he had to protect the Uchiha as much as possible.

But, it was difficult!

The situation within the Uchiha clan was simply hard to describe.

Even though he held the title of elder now, it was actually just honorary.

To put it bluntly, he was just a mascot!

If he really wanted to intervene, both the radical and moderate factions would definitely unite to take him out first.

Power was fascinating.

Even if he was a Mangekyo user who could give them some benefits, they wouldn't even think about sharing power.

However.

Thinking of what Nara Kazama had said to him, since he didn't want to be single for the rest of his life, then for the sake of his wife and children's stability, he had to build a stable rear guard.

Otherwise, even if he were strong enough, he couldn't guard his family 24 hours a day, right?

Such good subordinates as the Uchiha could not be abandoned, no matter how difficult!

But, no rush.

The radical faction, the moderate faction, and even the clan head Fugaku were all keeping a close eye on him now.

As long as he showed any desire for power, these guys would definitely be wary of him, and might even tear off the mask directly.

If it escalated, the village higher-ups might even intervene.

So, just wait. ===== CHAPTER 151 =====
