LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 7: 7
"What did you say?"
Before Genji could respond, Uchiha Mei glared at her husband and scolded, "Of course we can't give it to the family. Genji has already given enough to the family. Our family must keep some heritage, right?"
"Give it all to the clan, and what benefits do we get?"
"Genji has had enough attention recently! Do you understand?"
The world is not as big as her own son.
Recently in the village, she has often heard how exceptional her son is, which makes her happy but also a little worried.
Mei felt that too much was too much.
At present, those in higher positions in the village are very unfriendly to the Uchiha, and this attention cannot continue.
"Well...."
Uchiha Kaito's face fell when he heard this, and he said helplessly, "Dear, I didn't say anything, I just asked!"
"I'm also thinking about the clan, wanting to make it stronger!"
However, it's really inappropriate for my son to continue to be in the spotlight recently, so don't hand it in if he doesn't want to!
"Ah!"
Uchiha Mei heard this and immediately sneered: "Is our Uchiha clan weak now? Do we need to rely on Genji's two prescriptions to become stronger?"
"Can't you see that the patriarch has been paving the way for his son Fugaku in recent years, obviously wanting Fugaku to inherit the position of patriarch?"
"Do you believe that if Genji continues to stand out, that old guy will start to target and suppress Genji, and suppress our family?"
The Uchiha clan is indeed relatively united, but when it comes to power, it will still target the same people.
That is to say, Genji is too young now, and Uchiha Tenryu doesn't view Genji as an obstacle to Fugaku's succession for the time being.
"This..."
Uchiha Kaito narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, looked at his wife with a frown, and asked, "Dear, have you heard any gossip?"
Uchiha Mei gave her husband a look: "You still need to hear about this kind of thing? Is your brain just for decoration?"
"In short, just follow what Genji said, and give the family the warming and nourishing medicinal bath formula."
"It's a lot of age, and it's not as thorough as Genji, a one-year-old child. I think you have to read more books. What are you talking about all day long?"
Uchiha Kaito: "..."
Can't you save me some face in front of the children?
That night, Uchiha Kaito went to the homes of the third elder and the first elder as a guest and presented the warming medicinal bath formula and the youth version of the exercise medicinal bath formula, thus strengthening the relationship between the parties.
"Genji is really remarkable! He came up with a better formula so quickly. It seems that it was right to give him all the medical books in the clan."
The third elder received two medicated bath formulas and said cheerfully.
"Hehe!"
Uchiha Kaito smiled and said, "This kid is not as good as you said, Uncle Akihiko, that's all he has!"
"Humble, aren't you?"
The third elder shook his head: "Excellence is excellence. There is nothing I can't say here. After all, this child is also my grandnephew, isn't he?"
"Thank Genji for me for the prescription. I will highlight his contributions at the Clan Meeting this week. In addition, I will find a way to get him more medical books."
"I want to see how high this kid can go in the future."
He is looking forward to it.
"Right! What do you guys think of the patriarchate? What do you think of Fugaku?"
The third elder suddenly turned to ask.
When Uchiha Kaito heard this question, he was taken aback for a moment, then touched his chin and pondered: "I'm not interested in the patriarch position or not. There are too many responsibilities. This seat is not so easy to occupy. The future of being a family is not suitable for me."
"As for Fugaku? It's okay! It's just that he's still too young, and his personality is a little weak, but the rest is okay!"
He can sit in the position of the deputy captain of the Uchiha Police Force, not only because he is top-notch among Elite Jōnin, but also because his brain is naturally not bad.
It's just that he usually acts a little wise and foolish.
He naturally understood what the third elder said.
But he really didn't think he was the right candidate for patriarch.
"Um!"
The third elder nodded noncommittally and didn't say anything more on this topic.
After that, Uchiha Kaito chatted with the third elder for a while, then left and went to the home of the first elder, also offering two medicinal bath formulas.
"These are all Genji's thoughts. Among them, the formula for the body training medicinal bath was specially prepared by him for Mikoto."
"The warming and nourishing medicinal bath formula is for you, First Elder. It has the effects of nourishing the body, eliminating dark wounds, and prolonging life. Please accept it. The Third Elder has already accepted it."
Uchiha Kaito explained.
Because of Mikoto's relationship, their family has a good relationship with the Great Elder.
Of course, this has something to do with Uchiha Kaito's status in the clan being not low, and he is not a scheming person.
"Have a heart! Then I won't delay!"
After hearing this, especially after hearing the efficacy of the warming and nourishing medicinal bath formula, the Great Elder had a smile on his face, and the wrinkles on his face were piled up into creases.
After receiving the prescription, he read it carefully, then raised his head and said, "Genji is a good kid!"
Then, the Great Elder asked again: "That's right! The patriarch brought Fugaku to my place several times recently. It seems that he intends to let Fugaku succeed as patriarch, and even intends to let Mikoto marry Fugaku. What do you think?"
"Well...."
Uchiha Kaito was stunned when he heard this and asked a little puzzled: "Is it appropriate to tell me this kind of thing? Is it appropriate to ask me?"
At the same time, he also murmured in his heart, as did the three elders before, why did everyone ask him this question?
He is really not interested in the position of patriarch!
"What's inappropriate?"
The Great Elder sipped his tea disapprovingly and said, "Not to mention that you, as the vice-captain of the Police Force, have a high position and authority, and you also have a great say in the determination of the position of patriarch."
"The position of patriarch itself is related to the future of my Uchiha clan, and your opinion is naturally important!"
"Also, Mikoto and Genji are still walking so closely, I don't believe you can't see it?"
"Since that girl met Genji, she has become more and more resistant to marrying Fugaku. I am such a biological granddaughter, so I have to consider her feelings to a certain extent, don't I?"
Of course, the premise of all this is that Uchiha Genji has shown higher talent and value than Fugaku.
Otherwise, he could ignore these unnecessary feelings of his granddaughter.
In a high position, he is not a person who is easily emotional.
"Huh?"
When Uchiha Kaito heard the elder's words, he said in a dumb voice: "Is this possible? Elder, did you make a mistake? My Genji is only over one year old. She and Mikoto?"
No matter how you look at it, it feels a little ridiculous.
Are all children now so precocious?
