"Father, is this really okay for us?" Uchiha Ichiro asked his father, Uchiha Taiga, hesitantly.
Although it was the first time to follow the caravan to do business, in Uchiha Ichiro's opinion, such a large caravan should at least hire a ninja team to escort it, right?
Obviously, there is a strong police force in the Uchiha trade office now.
"Ichiro, do you know why the family must take back any caravan at all costs after it is robbed, and kill the people who do this?"
Uchiha Taiga took a puff of cigarette and asked his only son in the smoke.
"Why?" Uchiha Ichiro was stunned when he heard it, and asked his father.
"To add weight to our family emblem."
Uchiha Taiga chuckled when he heard it, and patted his son on the shoulder in the smoke.
"All the bandits and wandering ninjas must know one thing, that is, the caravan with the Uchiha clan emblem cannot be touched. Even if you rob it, you will not have the chance to enjoy it."
"So, in this way, you can maximize safety while reducing labor costs?" Ichiro said to his father with sudden enlightenment.
In this way, even if some inferior bandits target the caravan, the caravan's own guards are enough to solve the problem.
Although he does not have the talent to become a ninja, he still has a one-sided suppression power compared to those inferior guys who are more like refugees than bandits.
And compared to ninjas, it is cheaper.
"Well, you are worthy of being my son. Follow the caravan for a few more trips, and you will basically understand some of the things you should know!"
Uchiha Taiga patted his son's shoulder, and a face that was ravaged by time was full of a gratified smile.
Suddenly, the caravan stopped, and Uchiha Taiga frowned slightly and spoke to his son .
"Hide here and don't come out. If a fight breaks out, find a chance to Style."
After saying that, without giving Uchiha Ichiro a chance to speak, Uchiha Taiga quickly jumped off the carriage.
Uchiha Ichiro looked at the back of his father who was disappearing quickly in front of him and froze in place.
Should he go with his father to deal with an unknown crisis, or hide here and accept his father's protection.
The entanglement arose in Uchiha Ichiro's heart.
.........…....
"Who is it?! How dare you intercept the Uchiha clan's caravan!"
The voice came before the person arrived. Even though he encountered an unknown interception, Uchiha Taiga still shouted with full confidence.
"Cangcang!"
At the same time, there was also the sound of a long sword being unsheathed.
The glory brought by the Uchiha surname, even if facing a ninja, Uchiha Taiga did not lack the courage to draw his sword!
"Don't be impulsive, my father is Uchiha Kenji!" As Rei turned his body, one hand held Uchiha Taiga's hand holding the sword.
"Huh?!"
Uchiha Taiga was stunned when he heard this, and looked at the boy in front of him who was about eleven or twelve years old with some surprise.
"Uchiha Kenji is my father, Uchiha Jasmine is my mother, and my name is Uchiha Rei."
Rei did not intend to let go of Uchiha Taiga's hand holding the sword before dispelling the doubts in Uchiha Taiga's heart.
However, although he did not let go of Uchiha Taiga's hand holding the sword, a pair of three tomoe Sharingan appeared in Rei's eyes.
"Uchiha... Rei?" Uchiha Taiga, who reacted, breathed a sigh of relief.
Thanks to Uchiha Kenji, Uchiha Taiga had heard of the name Rei.
Moreover, the freely controlled three-magatama Sharingan is also very difficult to imitate.
Even if the Uchiha Rei in front of him is fake, or he is under an illusion, it doesn't matter, anyway, Lord Renji is in charge of this Trade office.
"Ah!!!...Clang!"
Just when a smile was about to appear on Uchiha Taiga's face, Uchiha Ichiro's roar rang out in the field.
Along with it, there was the sound of a long sword being unsheathed.
The smile that was about to bloom on Uchiha Taiga's face was forcibly held back.
Rei also looked up curiously.
...
Hiding here, being a coward, even if his father died in front of him, he had to escape regardless of everything.
Or, stand up, hold the long sword in your hand, like a real man, even if it means death, even if it means death...
"Who is it? How dare you intercept the Uchiha clan's caravan! Clang!"
When Uchiha Taiga's angry roar and the sound of the long sword being unsheathed reached Uchiha Ichiro's ears,
Ichiro's reasoning completely collapsed at this moment.
I am... Uchiha Ichiro!
How can such a great family name, which has been watered with blood by generations of ancestors, tolerate a coward who only dares to hide behind his father and live? !
Uchiha Ichiro, who lost his mind, did not notice his scarlet eyes at all!
...............................................................
Single tomoe... Sharingan?
But this speed... is it really too slow?
Has this Uchiha not received professional training since childhood?
With a flash of his figure, Rei's figure instantly disappeared from the spot.
"Rei-kun, that's my son!" Uchiha Taiga shouted to Rei in panic.
Even though he knew that Rei would not hurt his son, and knew that the outcome might have been decided after he said this,
Uchiha Taiga still shouted at Rei uncontrollably.
"Idiot."
Rei controlled Uchiha Ichiro's knife-holding hand with one hand, and easily pressed Uchiha Ichiro to the ground.
While pushing Uchiha Ichiro's knife-holding hand back behind his back
When he was about to say something, he found that Uchiha Ichiro had fainted.
"Didn't your son receive professional training when he was a child?" Rei asked Uchiha Taiga in surprise.
At the same time, he let go of Uchiha Ichiro.
"I trained for a period of time when I was a child, but Ichiro didn't have any talent to become a ninja." Uchiha Taiga said embarrassedly.
"But your son has opened the single-tomoe Sharingan." Rei said to Uchiha Taiga with a smile.
"Sharingan?"
Uchiha Taiga was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, but he quickly reacted and helped Ichiro up and handed him to the subordinates.
"In this case, does Ichiro need to return to Konoha to be a ninja?" Taiga frowned and asked Rei.
To be honest, although Ichiro has opened the Sharingan, it is also the lowest level of single magatama, and he has not received corresponding training since childhood.
So, from the bottom of his heart, Taiga still doesn't want Ichiro to return to Konoha to be a ninja.
The mortality rate is too high.
"I don't know, this is the first time I have encountered such a situation. When I return to the Trade office, Lord Renji should know about it, right?"
Rei said to Taiga when he heard the words.
"Yeah." Taiga nodded when he heard the words, and his brows also stretched.
"By the way, Did Rei-kun came to me for help?" Taiga asked Rei.
The sudden appearance of the family's ninja must not be a casual encounter to say hello.
"It's like this, I want to follow the caravan with my team to the headquarters of the Uchiha Trade office in Labd of the Moon."
Rei said to Taiga after hearing this.
"Can you tell me the reason?" Taiga didn't agree or refuse, but just asked Rei.
"We are coming here to carry out an S-level mission, but because there is no suitable time to start now, it happens that Renji-kun is also here, so let's join forces, which is relatively safer."
As Hiruzen's voice sounded, Hiruzen, Tsunade and Orochimaru all appeared in front of Uchiha Taiga.
"This is my teacher, Hiruzen, the disciple of the Hokage." Rei said to Uchiha Taiga after hearing this.
"Ah~ Hiruzen, Renji is indeed in the Trade office. He originally wanted to come to see me, but he didn't expect to catch up with this battle."
After seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen, especially when he heard the last sentence of Rei's introduction, Uchiha Taiga's face suddenly bloomed with a gentle smile.
"Yes, it's really unfortunate." Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes twitched slightly, but he didn't say anything, just echoed.
"We are all family. Since Rei kun needs it now, I will definitely cooperate with you with all my strength." Uchiha Taiga looked at Rei.
"Thank you very much." Rei smiled and said to Uchiha Taiga.
"By the way, this is Tsunade, right? I have heard about the matter between Tsunade and Rei kun even in the Land of the Moon."
Uchiha Taiga laughed and talked with Rei while arranging the caravan to move forward.
His attitude was gentle and a little humble.
