Chapter 7: Supporting The Clan.

"What are you talking about?"

Before Kira could respond, Uchiha Mika shot a glare at her husband and scolded, "Of course we can't give everything. Kira has already contributed enough to the clan."

"We need to leave some legacy for our family, don't we?"

"If we give it all to the clan, what benefits will we get?"

"Kira has already been in the spotlight enough lately! Don't you know the saying 'too much of anything is bad'?"

Nothing in the world is more important than her son.

Lately, people in the village have been praising her son as a genius, and while this made her proud, it also made her a little worried.

Mika thought it was too much.

The village leaders were not very friendly with the Uchiha clan right now, and this kind of attention couldn't continue.

"Uh..."

Uchiha Ken's face immediately dropped, and he helplessly said, "Honey, I didn't mean anything by it, I was just asking!"

"I'm just thinking about the clan, trying to make the clan stronger, that's all."

But honestly, he agreed that his son shouldn't be the center of attention for now. If the resources weren't given, then fine.

"Heh!"

Uchiha Mika sneered and said, "Is our Uchiha clan really that weak now? Do we need Kira's two medicine formulas to get stronger?"

"Can't you see the clan leader has already been setting up his son, Fugaku, to inherit the position of clan leader? If you believe that Kira keeps stealing the spotlight, that old man will start targeting and suppressing him and our family, don't you think?"

The Uchiha clan was united internally, but when it came to power, they wouldn't hesitate to act against each other.

Right now, Kira was still too young for Uchiha Jiro to see him as a threat, but that wouldn't last.

"This..."

Uchiha Ken's eyes narrowed, his brow furrowed as he looked at his wife and asked, "Did you hear some gossip?"

Uchiha Mika rolled her eyes at him. "Do I really need to hear rumors to know this? Is your brain just for show?"

"Anyway, let's just do what Kira asked. Give the clan the nurturing medicine formula and leave it at that."

"You're a grown man, but Kira, a one-year-old, sees things clearer than you. Maybe you should read more books. Stop acting so scatterbrained."

Uchiha Ken: "..."

Can't I have a little face in front of the kid?

That night, Uchiha Ken visited both the Third Elder and the Elder's house, delivering the nurturing medicine formula and the youth body-strengthening formula, building connections with both parties.

"Kira is truly a genius! He came up with an even better formula so quickly. Giving him the clan's medical books was definitely the right call."

The Third Elder received the two formulas and said happily.

"Hehe!"

Uchiha Ken replied with a smile, "This kid isn't as great as you say, he's only got this much skill."

"Modesty, huh?"

The Third Elder shook his head. "Excellence is excellence. No need to hide it. He's my own grandnephew, after all."

"Thank Kira for me. This week, I'll make sure his achievements are recognized at the clan meeting. And I'll find a way to get him even more medical books."

"I'm looking forward to seeing how far this kid can go."

He was excited.

"By the way, how do you feel about the position of clan leader? What do you think about Fugaku?"

The Third Elder suddenly asked.

Uchiha Ken was thinking deeply. He paused for a moment before rubbing his chin and thought, "I don't care much about the clan leader position. It comes with too many responsibilities, and that position isn't easy to sit in. It's tied to the future of the entire clan, it's just not for me."

"As for Fugaku? He's okay. Still a bit young, though, and his personality is a bit too weak. Other than that, he's fine!"

He had reached the position of Vice Captain in the Uchiha Police Force due to his exceptional skills, so his brain was sharp as well.

But he often acted a bit slow-witted on purpose.

He could tell what the Third Elder meant, but he truly believed he wasn't cut out for the position of clan leader.

"Hmm."

The Third Elder nodded without saying more about the topic.

---

"These are all from Kira's heart. The body-strengthening formula is for Mikoto, and the nurturing formula is for you, First Elder."

"It has healing effects, can relieve hidden injuries, and prolong life. Please accept it, the Third Elder has already taken his share."

Uchiha Ken explained.

Thanks to Mikoto, their family had a good relationship with the First Elder.

Of course, it also helped that Uchiha Ken had a relatively high position in the clan and wasn't one to scheme.

"How thoughtful! I won't delay then!"

The Elder smiled broadly, his wrinkles deepening, especially after hearing about the formula's benefits.

He took the formula, read it carefully, and then looked up, "Kira is really a good kid."

Then the Elder suddenly asked, "By the way, the clan leader and Fugaku have come by a few times recently. It seems they're preparing Fugaku to take over the clan leader position. They're even thinking about a marriage alliance between Mikoto and Fugaku. What do you think?"

"Uh..."

Uchiha Ken was startled and asked, "Is it appropriate for you to ask me this? Shouldn't you be asking someone else?"

Meanwhile, he was also thinking to himself, why is everyone asking him about this? He really didn't care about the clan leader position!

"Why not?"

The Elder didn't see the issue, sipping his tea, "You're the Vice Captain of the Uchiha Police Force, a person of great influence. Your opinion matters greatly when it comes to the clan leader position."

"Besides, Mikoto and Kira have been getting close. You can't tell me you haven't noticed? That girl has been resisting the idea of marrying Fugaku more and more since meeting Kira. She's my only granddaughter, and I have to consider her feelings to some extent."

Of course, this was all assuming that Kira had shown more talent and value than Fugaku.

Otherwise, the Elder wouldn't worry about his granddaughter's feelings.

Being in such a high position, he wasn't one to let emotions get in the way.

"Huh?"

Uchiha Ken was left speechless, "This can't be right, Elder. Are you sure you're not mistaken? My little Kira is only a little over one year old, and Mikoto...?"

It seemed ridiculous to him.

Are kids today that mature?
