"What's going on with Yoichi? Why was his reaction so intense today?"
After everyone had left, Kanrin was quite puzzled.
Although he didn't interact with Yoichi much, after several encounters, he had some understanding of him.
Remarkable talent and relatively mature in handling matters.
Apart from the incident of assaulting someone in the Hokage Tower, he hadn't done anything particularly outrageous. Instead, due to a few accidents, he had contributed significantly to Konoha.
And even though he had achieved merit last time, the clan head and the higher-ups of Konoha compromised, causing him some grievances, but Yoichi didn't react particularly intensely.
Why was his reaction so intense this time? And he even guessed his and the clan head's intentions. Could it be that Elder Danzo had contacted Uchiha Yoichi?
Kanrin suddenly realized this possibility. Just now, Yoichi's reaction was very similar to the radical faction of the Uchiha clan.
"It's very likely. Yoichi's talent is not weak, plus his parents died early. And Elder Danzo admires Yoichi's talent, so it's very possible that he sent someone to contact him. Moreover, Yoichi has suffered quite a lot recently, and the clan hasn't stood up for him."
After thinking of this possibility, Kanrin prepared to find Clan Head Fugaku and tell him about this possibility; if Yoichi had Elder Danzo's support, then the clan head's plan would probably be difficult to realize.

"This ability is really... It's necessary to subconsciously control the mouth from speaking; it's better not to hear other people's thoughts."
Yoichi used this ability for the first time, and now he was considering the advantages and disadvantages of this ability.
But there was still some gain; at least he knew that Clan Head Fugaku was planning to persuade him to endure it again. This time, he directly used his ability to firmly reject it. Although it was driven by the ability, it was also his inner thought.
He wasn't worried about other things, just a little concerned about the Chakra Metal weapon. But Kanrin shouldn't have such serious thoughts of revenge or anything like that, at most, they would just not interact in the future.
Being an honest boy was not that easy. There was definitely no one in this world who didn't tell lies; a person who didn't tell lies couldn't survive past ten years old, they would be killed by others.
Now, Yoichi was a bit troubled about what to do for the next month. Controlling the mouth was quite troublesome; he couldn't just stuff something in it.
"I'll try not to meet people as much as possible. As for the clan meetings, whoever wants to go can go."
Yoichi decided in his mind. From the thoughts he heard from Kanrin, it was evident that Clan Head Fugaku didn't have any good intentions left. This clan head had always stood on what he called the bigger picture.
He never thought that this bigger picture was supported by all the Uchiha or not.
After a few days, he would go ask about the Chakra Metal ninja tools. When the time comes, he would give the money for forging to Kanrin. After going through this ordeal, he didn't want to take advantage of what Kanrin had given him.
As for those sword techniques, they were all basic sword techniques, and he didn't ask for any of the Uchiha sword techniques.
"Training is the only way, because true strength lies within oneself."
After crossing over to the ninja world, Yoichi had no close relationships with his clan or the village. Other than the unreliable Golden Finger, he could only rely on his own strength to survive in the ninja world. He didn't have the mood to play house with Clan Head Fugaku.
If he had the strength of a Hokage, he would just leave the village directly.
Yoichi took the money and went to the Hokage Tower. He was prepared to ask someone to help him post a mission. He was worried that he wouldn't be able to resist blurting out about Hiruzen and Danzo's 'tainted' underwear at the Hokage Tower.
A C-rank mission would suffice, with a small team of three accompanying him for about a week, with a reward of eighty thousand ryo.
Yoichi had earned tens of millions of ryo in just one month. Just the noble from the Land of Grass alone had sent him twenty million ryo, so he wasn't lacking money now.
After casually finding a Uchiha clan member and giving him ten thousand ryo as a messenger fee, Yoichi waited for the team of ninjas to come to accept the mission.
On the other hand, Kanrin, who had returned to the guard team, also informed Clan Head Fugaku about Yoichi's unusual behavior.
"Clan Head, have we pushed too hard? That's why Yoichi reacted so strongly. After all, he achieved merit during that C-rank mission to subdue bandits, but he was still criticized. Any other clan member would find it hard to endure."
"Kanrin-senpai, I know you like to take care of talented juniors in the clan, but I've already made a significant concession on this matter. Yoichi sent that ninja to the hospital, and now he just needs to apologize, is that difficult?"
Fugaku shook his head and continued, "Regardless, Yoichi is also a ninja of the village. If that ninja spoke ill of him, Yoichi could come back to the guard team, but directly acting at the Hokage Tower is unacceptable."
Kanrin somewhat agreed, saying, "What you said makes sense, Clan Head, but Yoichi's temper was quite large today. I doubt he'll attend tomorrow's clan meeting, and even if he does, what if Elder Danzo supports him?"
"Let's call him to attend the clan meeting first, and then you can go find him with the team when the time comes, make sure he attends."
Fugaku wanted to firmly pressure Yoichi to agree, but he was also somewhat hesitant because of Elder Danzo's support. Right now, he was indecisive.

Yoichi looked at the white-haired person in front of him and couldn't help but ask, "Are you the ninja who accepted my mission? I remember my request was for about three people; where are your teammates?"
"I was just promoted to Chunin and haven't formed a team yet, but if it's the requirements stated in the mission, I can still handle it."
After saying this, Kakashi formed the Rat seal with both hands, "Shadow Clone Technique."
Boom! Boom!~
Kakashi directly created two shadow clones, and then he continued, "If it's just throwing shurikens with three people, I can still manage."
After seeing this, Yoichi asked, "How long can your shadow clones last?"
Kakashi replied, "Without using ninjutsu, they can last about an hour, then they'll need to recover chakra."
"Then it's just you."
Yoichi didn't hear anything more from Kakashi, nor did he have anything to say to this six-year-old child. He directly began the mission.
Although Kakashi was only six years old, he was a genuine Chunin. If he didn't have strength, Konoha wouldn't have let him pass just because of his father.
Even if it was just throwing shurikens, Kakashi's skill was superior to an ordinary Chunin.
After he created three shadow clones, he stood in three different positions and continuously found opportunities to throw shurikens at Yoichi.
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!~
The forest immediately resounded with the dense sound of metal collisions. Even without chakra-infused shurikens, Kakashi's thrown shurikens still had some power.
Throwing them simultaneously from three directions could bring considerable pressure to Yoichi. If it weren't for his Sharingan's dynamic vision, he wouldn't dare to practice like this.
However, as time went on, Yoichi's blocking became more and more proficient.
