This ninja in Naruto is unscientific

Chapter 285 Fugaku, with a radiant face

The new center of Konoha, the administrative district, the building housing the police command center.

Inside the spacious office, the air conditioner was blowing cool air at a comfortable temperature.

The entire wall of the command center is a huge multi-screen monitoring wall, densely divided into dozens of screens, clearly transmitting the situation of various important streets, squares and commercial centers in the Konoha New District in real time.

This was a result of Nishikawa Tetsu's strong advocacy during the planning of the new center. In this ninja world where video surveillance was not yet widespread, this thing was definitely a security marvel.

What? You're saying it's an invasion of privacy? Sorry, these public areas belong to Konoha. If you have a problem with that, go find the Hokage!

At this moment, the largest area in the center of the screen is clearly replaying the brief conflict that just occurred at the intersection of the commercial street.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Kakashi's swordsmanship is starting to resemble Sakumo-senpai's more and more."

Nishikawa Tetsu stood in front of the surveillance wall, holding a glass of special juice with ice in his hand, biting the straw, and commented.

"And that Obito guy too."

Nishikawa Tetsu pointed to the black-haired boy on the screen who had just closed his three-tomoe Sharingan and was fighting with Kakashi.

"Although his personality is still as eccentric as ever, he has become quite adept at using the power of his three-tomoe eyes. He captured Iwagakure's Earth Spear Hardening Technique with one hand, and even saw through and cut off the flow of chakra at a glance. Fugaku-senpai, you and Minato taught him very well."

Standing behind his desk, Fugaku Uchiha rested his hands on the table, his eyes also fixed on the screen.

Although his brows were still furrowed slightly as usual, his usually serious face, which even exuded a somewhat intimidating aura, was now filled with an undisguised sense of refreshment.

"Hmph, that kid's foundation was never bad to begin with. After all, he has Uchiha blood flowing through his veins, not to mention the guidance he received from me and Minato."

Fugaku snorted coldly.

"I recently checked his training in Fire Release and Genjutsu resistance. He was not only able to detect the Eighth Generation's probing, but he could also find a weakness in his counterattack in a very short time. If it were a real battle..."

Fugaku paused, his gaze becoming deep.

"It will be a bit difficult for Yashiro to defeat him as quickly as before."

It's important to know that the Eighth Hokage was quite skilled within the Uchiha clan; he was undoubtedly one of the strongest members.

"Wow, to hear such high praise from Fugaku-senpai, this is truly a rare occurrence." Nishikawa Tetsu raised an eyebrow and exclaimed in exaggerated amazement.

"I'm just stating the facts." Fugaku glared at him, walked to the sofa, sat down, and took a sip of the already warm tea on the table.

"It's clear that Kumogakure and Iwagakure have ill intentions for this Chunin Exam. They think Konoha is facing a talent shortage and want to take advantage of us to rise to power, but they've forgotten..."

Fugaku's gaze fell on the noisy boys and girls on the screen, his voice deep and powerful:

"Konoha's new generation has never been someone to be trifled with."

"Not only Obito and Kakashi, but also that thick-browed kid named Might Guy, whose explosive taijutsu power was enough to force back two elite genin in an instant, and Kurenai Yuhi, Asuma, and the others who were not far away ready to attack at any moment..."

Fugaku exclaimed, "Konoha's new generation is not to be underestimated."

"Yes, the younger generation is truly formidable."

Nishikawa Tetsu took a sip of juice, looked up from the screen, and sized up the Uchiha clan leader, who seemed unusually different today.

"But senior, you look absolutely radiant and glowing today. Anyone who didn't know better would think I was in charge of security when the Daimyo arrives in Konoha tomorrow."

Nishikawa Tetsu put down his cup, leaned forward, and approached with a gossipy look on his face.

"Tell me, what good news happened? Even that mountain of security plans on the table couldn't break your spirit? That's not like you at all. Could it be... that Mikoto made you some kind of super nourishing soup?"

You should know that the Fire Country Daimyo will be arriving in Konoha tomorrow to watch the opening ceremony of the Joint Chunin Exams.

As the person in charge of security for the entire new Konoha center, Fugaku has been working non-stop lately, wishing he could split himself into eight.

From investigating the locations of the delegations in each village to setting up the defensive perimeter of the meeting venue, and coordinating the patrol routes of the secret service and the police department... every task was extremely tedious, and the slightest mistake would result in a diplomatic incident.

Normally, Fugaku would have been furious, smashing a cup and cursing in his office.

But today, not only did he not get angry, he even had the leisure to stand here with Nishikawa Tetsu watching the surveillance footage and commenting on the younger generation.

This is absolutely abnormal!

Upon hearing Nishikawa Tetsu's teasing, Fugaku's hand holding the teacup stiffened slightly.

For once, an unnatural and suspicious blush appeared on his usually stern face.

He coughed lightly, somewhat awkwardly, trying to cover up his lapse in composure, but he couldn't suppress the upward curve of his lips.

"Cough cough... What nonsense are you spouting? What is this 'Ten-Ingredient Tonic Soup'?"

Fugaku looked away from the window, his voice deliberately lowered, but his tone was clearly different.

"I just... I just feel like I've been sleeping better lately."

"Oh?" Nishikawa Tetsu drawled, his face clearly saying: I don't believe it.

"The security work for the daimyo is indeed heavy, but the police department is now well-equipped and the major families are cooperating well. Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner, so what do I have to worry about?"

Fugaku forcefully steered the conversation back to work, attempting to regain his authority as a senior colleague.

"and……"

Fugaku paused, turned his head, looked at Nishikawa Tetsu, and his eyes gleamed with an almost boastful light.

"Every morning, Mikoto personally helps me tidy up my uniform, and before I leave, she'll... well, anyway, you single dog would never understand the feeling of having someone waiting for you at the door."

"..."

Nishikawa Tetsu's smile froze instantly, as if he had been force-fed a mouthful of freshly made dog food.

He never expected that his casual joke would backfire so spectacularly, as the usually arrogant Uchiha clan leader turned the tables on him.

"Senior, you've changed." Nishikawa Tetsu pointed at Fugaku with a pained expression.

"You weren't like this before! Where did that aloof, arrogant, and Sharingan-wielding Shura of Konoha go? It's only been a few weeks since our marriage, and you've already been corrupted by Mikoto-nee like this? Is this still the same Uchiha Fugaku who threatened to tie me to a lightning rod?"

"Hmph, times have changed."

Fugaku made no attempt to hide his smugness. He even picked up his teacup and took a slow, deliberate sip, just like a daimyo. Although it was just an ordinary cup of green tea, he made it taste like a fine vintage wine.

"After getting married, I feel that I have become more magnanimous. This is the mindset of a married man."

Fugaku glanced at Nishikawa Toru and actually launched a sarcastic attack:

"Someone like you, who spends all day in the lab dealing with junk and doesn't even have a blind date, can't possibly understand this level of understanding."

"Minato and Kushina may have their disagreements, but their relationship has always been stable. What about you? Are you planning to spend your life with your science?"

"puff--!"

This time, it was Nishikawa Tetsu's turn to break down.

What is this? A magical attack plus a mental critical strike? This old tree blooming is terrifying!

"I'm doing this for science! For the future of Konoha! Women will only slow down my research!" Nishikawa Tetsu tried to save face, but under Fugaku's all-seeing eyes, he appeared extremely weak and powerless.

"Alright, alright, stop being so stubborn." Fugaku stood up and straightened his collar, which was actually not messy at all. The practiced movements were clearly a habit he had just developed in the past few days.

"The Chunin Exams are just around the corner. This time, we need to show off our strength to the outsiders. We can't afford to make any mistakes."

When serious matters were brought up, Nishikawa Tetsuya also dropped his joking expression.

He walked to the monitoring wall, looked at the friends from various countries who were arriving in Konoha one after another on the screen, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

"Weren't these people trying to use the Chunin Exams to probe Konoha's true strength? Didn't they think we were in a period of transition and wanted to use us to establish their authority?"

"Then let's wait and see."

Looking at Nishikawa Tetsu's confident demeanor, Fugaku said in a deep voice, "Since you are so confident, then the police department will not hold the village back regarding the daimyo's security and the order of the event."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, senior." Nishikawa Tetsu turned around, suddenly switching to a playful expression. "By the way, senior, since you seem so relaxed now, why don't you give the opening speech tomorrow?"

"Get lost!" Fugaku refused without hesitation. "That's the Hokage's job! I'm only responsible for arresting people!"

"No way! With your radiant complexion, if you stood on that stage, wouldn't you be a living symbol of Konoha's prosperity?"

"Nishikawa Tetsu, do you have a death wish?!"

"Oh dear, senior, don't be in such a hurry to open your eyes. Getting angry easily causes wrinkles, and your wrinkles are already..."

"Shut up!!! Nishikawa Tetsu, do you want to die?!"
