Chapter 703 Announcement
Chapter 703 Announcement
The next morning, sunlight filtered through the leaves and fell on the Uchiha clan's training ground.
The place was quiet, broken only by the occasional chirping of birds.
As usual, Chiyo created fifty shadow clones to practice Water Release techniques in the area.
Meanwhile, Chiyo's true form led Karin slowly toward the outer area of the training ground.
This area is where the Uchiha clan members are most concentrated, and it was also the place where Chiyo and other clan members used to exchange skills and experiences.
This was the first time since Qianyao's return that he had walked so openly in front of everyone.
He strode ahead, while Karin, following behind him, seemed somewhat uneasy. The usually carefree and quirky Karin had become rather coy.
She followed closely in Qianyao's footsteps, never daring to look up and meet the gazes of those around her.
Her originally rosy cheeks were now flushed with a shy blush, and her eyes darted around, as if she didn't know where to look.
Although some members of the clan have learned of Qianyao's return, the news has not yet spread widely.
Therefore, when Qianyao suddenly appeared before everyone, the entire scene immediately erupted in excitement.
"Chieftain!"
"Chief!..."
"Chief!..."
When everyone saw Qian Yao arrive, they all came over to greet him, and everyone's face was filled with excitement.
The Uchiha clan has always revered the strong.
Before disappearing, Chiyo single-handedly ended the Fourth Shinobi World War, defeating Iwagakure and Sunagakure.
The Martial God Susanoo directly intimidated the entire ninja world for several years, and no one dared to cross the line.
Everyone knows that under Chiyo's leadership, the Uchiha clan will surely reach the pinnacle of the ninja world!
Everyone here both respects and fears Qianyao.
Qianyao did not specifically notify these people; it was only because some members of his clan spread the word that he had returned.
These clansmen deliberately squatted here just to catch a glimpse of the clan leader.
Seeing so many people today, and since it was a good time to train Sasuke, Chiyo brought Karin along to announce some things.
Besides his clansmen, Naruto, Sasuke, Gaara, and Kimimaro were also there.
Standing not far from them were several girls.
Chiyo, carrying Karin, leaped onto a slightly higher platform.
Looking down at his tribesmen.
"I am back."
Qianyao announced his official return with just one sentence.
"Greetings, Chieftain!"
The Uchiha clan members below were very happy and excited, all staring intently at Chiyo.
Qianyao held up two fingers: "I have two things to announce here."
"The Fourth Hokage is doing a great job. I will not be reappointed as Hokage for the time being. Please do not focus on whether I am the Hokage or not."
The clansmen below looked at each other; their emotions remained relatively stable.
After all, Minato was a member of their Uchiha faction, and many powerful departments in the village are now held by Uchiha members.
As long as the Uchiha clan doesn't join the security forces that offend people, they don't actually have much interaction with ordinary villagers.
In ninja teams, the success rate of missions increases significantly if you can team up with members of the Uchiha clan.
After all, besides the Uchiha clan members' formidable strength, their Mangekyou Sharingan was so powerful that no one dared to offend them.
Nowadays, the Uchiha clan is treated with great respect wherever they go.
With Qianyao saying this, everyone's emotions remained stable.
"Second, Konoha Village is developing rapidly now. This period of peace will continue for a while, but after this period, everyone will have the opportunities they want."
Although the Uchiha clan members were somewhat arrogant, Chiyo's words were so straightforward that everyone's eyes lit up.
Seeing the buzzing sound coming from below, Qianyao added:
"Everyone should focus on cultivation during this period. When needed, I will first consider drawing people from the clan."
"Yes, Chieftain!"
Sasuke was quite excited; sure enough, his master had made a move soon after returning.
With Konoha developing so rapidly, it could expand outwards at any time.
And my master is going to start special training on me today!
Sasuke was basically cannon fodder on the battlefield last time.
There haven't been any life-or-death battles in the past few years, but now they're itching for a fight.
"Besides these two matters, there is a private matter to inform all members of the clan."
He reached out and took Karin's hand, their fingers intertwined: "Karin and I are engaged. From now on, she will be my fiancée."
The clansmen looked somewhat surprised, but someone quickly reacted: "Greetings, Madam Chief!"
Most people actually know Karin, after all, Chiyo only had two disciples, Sasuke and Karin.
However, this sudden change in identity left some people stunned.
The other tribesmen also seemed to awaken from their daze and greeted Xianglin one after another.
"Greetings, Madam Chief!"
"Greetings, Madam Chief!"
Everyone was very happy about Chiyo's engagement, after all, the Uchiha clan still placed great importance on having offspring.
As for Karin's identity and age, those have never been issues for the Uchiha.
After all, the Uchiha clan used to be a super mercenary family, and they even had to snatch some of their wives back themselves.
As long as you have the biggest fist, the Uchiha will think you're right.
After Naruto ate hot pot last time, he went back and specifically asked Kushina about it.
Kushina told him that putting one's hair up is something that couples or married couples usually do.
In the last two days, he also learned from Sasuke that Chiyo and Karin are dating.
Now they're suddenly almost at the engagement stage.
However, most people were very happy.
Only Sasuke experienced a sudden blackout and nearly collapsed.
According to etiquette, a master's fiancée should be called "master's wife" by him!
Sure enough, they've been promoted to a higher generation!
"Hey, Sasuke, what's wrong?" Naruto asked quickly when he saw that Sasuke looked strange and his eyes were blank.
Sasuke, looking like a wilted eggplant, muttered, "Oh no, I'll have to call Karin 'Master' from now on."
"Ugh... Pfft... Hahaha..."
Naruto then realized what was happening and burst into laughter.
Hinata, who was standing next to her, also burst out laughing.
They both knew that Sasuke had challenged Karin many times in order to reclaim the title of senior brother.
Karin is actually using chakra and formations to forcefully suppress Sasuke in her current battles.
Sasuke is a dedicated fighter, while Karin is more of a support and utility specialist. In another year or two, Sasuke will definitely win.
But now, it's over.
Even if Sasuke could win, he couldn't fight Karin anymore, since their identities had changed.
Chiyo continued, "For now, don't tell anyone outside the Uchiha clan about my return."
“I will still be giving guidance to the people in the tribe recently, in the original place.”
Qianyao pointed to a corner of the training ground, and a clone rose from his shadow.
Walk in that direction.
The fact that Chiyo's clones could use Shadow Escape Technique was already known throughout the ninja world, so no one was surprised.
After he finished announcing these things, he waved his hand, signaling everyone to disperse.
Everyone bowed to Qian Yao, preparing to intensify their cultivation.
Otherwise, if this period of time passes, when the Uchiha clan wants to expand their territory, they won't have a chance.
Everyone's face was beaming with great enthusiasm.
After all, we'll be fighting soon.
For the Uchiha clan...
Fighting is fun! That's all!
