Chapter 223: Trust is mutual
"I've kept you waiting," a pleasant female voice said, opening the door.
Uchiha Mikoto walked in with tea and snacks. Set up the cup and pour hot strong tea for both of them.
The originally deserted room immediately became relaxed, and the bodies of both of them relaxed.
I picked up the teacup and took a sip, closed my eyes and felt the fragrance of the strong tea with the tip of my tongue.
"Sister Mai Qin, your tea is really fragrant, I really envy Patriarch Fuyue for being able to drink such fragrant tea every day. Presumably, Sister Mikoto, the pastries you made must be more delicious, but I need to eat more this time. Otherwise, it would be too much of a failure to come to the Uchiha clan this time. β
It's the first person to praise his cooking skills like this, and Uchiha Fugaku and his two sons usually just work hard to finish the food they cook. Uchiha Mikoto laughed happily, but still modestly said that it was not as good as Inoue Fumiei said.
"Sister Mai Trin, don't be so modest, you see that the Patriarch Fuyue has a happy expression on his face when he sees your pastry. At first glance, you can tell that he has been looking forward to it for a long time, and it seems that he usually likes to eat the pastries made by Sister Mai Trin. Inoue complimented.
Mikoto Uchiha's smile was even brighter, and nothing made her happier than being recognized for a housewife's cooking skills.
"Inoue-kun, you and Fugaku have tea first, and I also made some new fancy pastries. I'll bring it to you when it's ready. β
It wasn't until Uchiha Mikoto walked out of the room that Inoue took a closer look at the pastries on the low table. Pick up an Eternal Life Palace, put it in your mouth and eat it, the chewing taste is good, but isn't this Eternal Life Hall supposed to be sweet? How do you eat salty?
"Patriarch Fuyue, is the Hall of Eternal Life made by your family an improved practice? How do I eat salty and salty, isn't it the official practice that sugar should be added? β
Uchiha Fugaku calmly finished eating an immortal hall, picked up the teacup and took a sip of strong tea.
"Our family's Immortal Palace has not improved the method, but Mai Trin always uses salt as sugar, and it is also very good to change the taste of the same dim sum." After speaking, he calmly picked up an immortal hall and ate it.
It's so calm, and at first glance, it's used to encountering this kind of thing. However, when she praised Uchiha Mikoto, she also thought that her cooking skills were good.
"Patriarch Fuyue, does she know about this thing that salt and sugar are often misplaced, Sister Mikoto?"
"How do I feel that Sister Mai Trin doesn't know anything about this? How did you hide it from her? β
Uchiha Fugaku drank a few more cups of strong tea before he spoke: Mikoto she doesn't like to eat pastries, and every time she makes pastries, no matter how much pastry she makes, we will eat it all. So she didn't know about it all along. We're going to finish the pastries she made this time. β
There is also such a way. But I didn't expect that the three Uchiha Fuyue father and son all had a cold face, but they were all masters of acting! It seems that Uchiha Fugaku really loves his wife, otherwise he wouldn't have lied to her all the time.
"What if Patriarch Fugaku eats the pastries herself, Sister Mai Trinat? After all, she will always be curious to taste it when she sees that you eat so deliciously. β
Uchiha Fugaku picked up the last immortal hall on the plate and ate it, "This kind of thing is very simple, just tell her that the salt and sugar are misplaced. This kind of thing will happen, and Mai Trin won't be saying anything. β
Inoue Wenying stretched out his thumb to indicate that he was tall, and he could come up with this method. It seems that Uchiha Fugaku's quick wit is still very powerful.
"Patriarch Fuyue, since you understand the need for compromise, why are you still so persistent about certain things. You should know that it will not do you any good to both parties in the hard work, and once your behavior reaches a certain limit, even the three generations of old men will treat you strongly. After all, the rebels must be eliminated, and this is no exception in any ninja village and family. Don't you love the village of Konoha yourself? β
"I understand what you said, but this kind of thing is not a matter of concession. The upper echelons of the village don't trust us Uchiha at all, and we Uchiha are one of the two founding clans that founded Konoha. Now that the Uchiha clan is living under surveillance, do you think this is reasonable? Uchiha Fugaku said, and finally got excited.
"It's not for nothing that the Uchiha clan is being watched, and you Uchiha clan were seriously suspicious of the Nine-Tails Rebellion. After all, in history, only the writing wheel eyes of your Uchiha clan and the first generation of Mu Dun could control the tailed beast, and this incident caused the four generations who were gentle on the Uchiha clan to die in battle. However, you Uchiha people have not fought against the Nine-Tails, I am afraid that not only the higher-ups are suspicious of you, but even ordinary ninjas are dissatisfied with you. You have not done your duty as a Konoha garrison. β
Uchiha Fugaku was silent for a moment before he spoke: "Inoue Fumiei, you don't know the truth at all, and the high-level at that time issued an order that all the Uchiha clan should evacuate the residents. We Uchiha didn't want to go forward to fight at all, and we Uchiha just obeyed orders. Your accusations now are simply unreasonable. β
Inoue laughed, but his voice was full of mockery. "Patriarch Fugaku, you are really funny, you can obey orders and not fight when the village is in crisis. Since you obey the orders of the village so much, shouldn't you strengthen the village's trust in your Uchiha clan when the village does not trust you now? Your Uchiha choice is a coup d'Γ©tat to the highest right, and it's really hard to convince people that you really love this village. I will only believe that you are just a bunch of careerists, traitors who have ruined the peace of the village. Even if you kill the three elders and the three generations of old men, you will not succeed, and then all the ninjas of Konoha will encircle and suppress your Uchiha clan. At that time, you won't stop if you don't kill all the people of your clan, is this what Patriarch Fuyue wants? β
Uchiha Fugaku angrily clenched the fist of his left hand, and the teacup in his right hand was crushed to pieces. The pupils of his eyes turned into a windmill pattern, and he stared directly at Inoue Fumiei.
Inoue Wenying picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, "Kaleidoscope Writing Wheel Eye?" The pain you have experienced is not small. But you have to understand that this is the time of the ninja village, and it is not possible to solve all problems by force alone. Once you use the Kaleidoscope Sharingan on the ninjas in the village, the three generations of old men will also change their current mild countermeasures to the tough methods of Elder Danzo. You should also know that once the three generations of old men decide, even the three elders can't change him. β
Uchiha Fugaku put away the writing wheel eye in his eyes and threw the teacup in his right hand into the trash. "So, Inoue-kun, you also support Elder Tuanzang's idea."
Inoue Wenying picked up a piece of salty Immortal Hall and ate it, taking a sip of strong tea. "Patriarch Fugaku, this question is very funny, but I was arranged by the three generations of Hokage-sama to come and chat with you. If I had thought the same way as Elder Tuanzang, would I still come? And that way of treating you Uchiha is not up to us, but to all of you Uchiha people. This kind of thing is mutual, and only if you Uchiha let down your guard and trust the village, can the village trust you again. β
