"Tsk!"
Uchiha Meixin immediately sneered upon hearing this. "Has our Uchiha clan become so weak now? Do we need these two medicinal formulas from little Uchiha Gen to become stronger?"
"What good will it do us if we give them all to the clan?"
"Little Uchiha Gen has already stolen enough spotlight recently! Don't you know that going too far is as bad as not going far enough?"
Before Uchiha Gen could say anything, Uchiha Meixin sharply glared at her husband and scolded. "Of course not. Little Uchiha Gen has already given enough to the clan. Our family has to keep some heritage, right?"
However, it was indeed the case that her son shouldn't be in the spotlight too much recently. Well, if he doesn't hand them in, he doesn't.
Uchiha Meixin believed that going too far was as bad as not going far enough.
At present, those high-ranking officials in the village are not friendly to the Uchiha clan at all. They can't continue to draw too much attention.
"Can't you see that the clan leader has been paving the way for his son, Fugaku, in recent years? It's obvious that he wants Fugaku to inherit the position of clan leader;"
Hearing this, Uchiha Qianyi's face immediately fell, and he said helplessly, "Honey, I didn't say anything. I was just asking!"
"I'm also thinking about the clan. I want the clansmen to become stronger too!"
"Do you believe that if little Uchiha Gen continues to gain too much attention, that old guy will start to target and suppress little Uchiha Gen, and even our whole family?"
The Uchiha clan was indeed quite united internally, but once power was involved, they would still target each other as usual.
It was just that little Uchiha Gen was far too young now, so Uchiha Tadao temporarily didn't regard little Uchiha Gen as an obstacle to Fugaku's succession.
"Uh...."
That night, Uchiha Qianyi went to the homes of the Third Elder and the First Elder as a guest one after another, and presented the Nourishing Medicinal Bath Formula and the Juvenile Body Tempering Medicinal Bath Formula, thus improving relations between them.
"Little Uchiha Gen is really a prodigy! Coming up with even better formulas so quickly. It seems that giving him all the medical tomes in the clan was the right decision."
After receiving the two medicinal bath formulas, the Third Elder cheerfully sighed.
"Hehe!"
Uchiha Qianyi chuckled and replied with a smile. "This kid isn't as good as you said, Uncle Akiba. This is pretty much the best he can do!"
"You're being modest, aren't you?"
The Third Elder shook his head. "Outstanding is outstanding. There's nothing you can't say in front of me. After all, this kid is my own grandnephew, right?"
"Thank little Uchiha Gen for me regarding the medicinal formulas. And I will confirm his achievements at this week's clan meeting. Additionally, I'll figure out a way to get him more medical books."
"I'm really looking forward to seeing how far this kid can go in the future."
He was extremely eager.
"Oh, by the way! What do you think about the position of clan leader? And what's your opinion on Fugaku?"
The Third Elder suddenly changed the topic.
Hearing this question unexpectedly, Uchiha Qianyi was slightly taken aback for a moment. Then, he stroked his chin and pondered. "I'm not really interested in being the clan leader. There are too many things to worry about. This position isn't easy to sit in. After all, it involves the future of the whole clan. It's not suitable for me."
"As for Fugaku? He's okay! He's just a bit too young. Also, his personality is a bit too weak. Otherwise, he's not bad."
He managed to attain the position of one of the vice - captains of the Uchiha Security Force. Apart from possessing top - tier strength even among the elite jonin, he surely wasn't short on brains.
On weekdays, he just seemed to feign ignorance while actually being very shrewd.
Of course he understood the hidden meaning in the Third Elder's words.
But he truly believed that he wasn't a suitable candidate for the clan leader.
"Yeah!"
The Third Elder nodded noncommittally and didn't say more on this topic.
After that, Uchiha Qianyi had a casual chat with the Third Elder for a while before taking his leave. Then he headed to the First Elder's home and presented two medicinal bath formulas as well.
"These are all little Uchiha Gen's sincere regards. Among them, the Body - tempering Medicinal Bath Formula is something he's still preparing for Uchiha Mikoto."
"The Nourishing Medicinal Bath Formula is for you, First Elder. It can condition the body, heal hidden injuries, and extend lifespan. Please accept it. The Third Elder has already taken his share."
Uchiha Qianyi explained.
Because of Uchiha Mikoto, the relationship between his family and the First Elder wasn't bad.
Of course, this also had something to do with the fact that Uchiha Qianyi had a high status in the clan and wasn't a scheming person.
"You're so considerate! Then I won't decline!"
After hearing this, especially upon learning about the effects of the Nourishing Medicinal Bath Formula, a smile spread across the First Elder's face, causing the wrinkles to deepen.
He took the medicinal formula, looked at it carefully, and then looked up and said, "Little Uchiha Gen is a good kid!"
Then, the First Elder shifted the topic and asked, "Oh, right! Recently, the clan leader has brought Fugaku to my place a few times. It seems he has the intention of making Fugaku his successor as the clan leader, and even arranging a marriage between Uchiha Mikoto and Fugaku. What's your opinion?"
"Uh...."
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Qianyi was taken aback for a moment and asked, puzzled, "Is it appropriate to discuss this kind of thing with me? To ask me?"
Meanwhile, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart. The Third Elder did the same before. Why was everyone asking him this question?
He really wasn't interested in the position of clan leader!
"What's inappropriate?"
The First Elder retorted casually as he sipped his tea, "Not to mention that as one of the vice - captains of the Security Force, you hold a high position and wields significant influence, and you also have a major say in deciding the clan leader."
"The position of clan leader is intrinsically linked to the future of our Uchiha clan. Naturally, your opinion matters a great deal!"
"Furthermore, Uchiha Mikoto and little Uchiha Gen have been getting on so well. I don't believe you haven't noticed?"
"Ever since she met little Uchiha Gen, that girl has become even more averse to the idea of marrying Fugaku. She's my only beloved granddaughter. I've got to take her feelings into account to some degree, don't I?"
Of course, all this was based on the premise that Uchiha Gen showed higher talent and value than Fugaku.
Otherwise, he could also ignore these unnecessary feelings of his granddaughter.
In a high position, he wasn't a person who would be easily swayed by emotions.
"Huh?"
Hearing what the First Elder said, Uchiha Qianyi was rather speechless and said, "That can't be, right? First Elder, are you misinformed about something? My little Uchiha Gen is only over one year old. What's the deal between her and Uchiha Mikoto?"
It just seemed preposterous no matter how he looked at it. Are kids these days really that precocious?

Uchiha Qianyi: "..."
Can't you save me some face in front of our child?
"Well..."
Hearing this, Uchiha Qianyi's eyes narrowed slightly, frowned slightly as he looked at his wife and asked, "Honey, have you heard some gossip?"
"What are you talking about?"
Uchiha Meixin gave her husband a glare and said, "Do I need to hear about it through the grapevine? Is your brain just for show?"
"Anyway, just do as what Uchiha Gen said. Just give the clan another medicinal bath formula for nourishment."
"At your age, you're not even as perceptive as one-year-old Uchiha Gen. I think you should read more books. What a careless person you are all day long! How improper!"
In this whole wide world, nothing is more important than my son.
Recently, I often heard in the village how incredible my son is. While this makes me happy, it also makes me a little worried.
