Uchiha Fugaku's words had reached this point, which was enough to prove that Rong Lin would, one hundred percent, return to the Uchiha clan.
However, someone wasn't happy about it, and that was Uchiha Di Qín, this little brat. Because Uchiha Fugaku's last sentence was actually to inform her father that he had matters to discuss with him.
This made Uchiha Di Qín extremely anxious, but there was nothing she could do.
"Sob, sob, older sister, brother-in-law and that bastard bullied me, brother-in-law even helped him..."
Returning home, Uchiha Di Qín, who was temporarily staying at Uchiha Mikoto's house, hugged her older sister and cried and fussed as soon as she came back. She dared not imagine what would happen to her if her brother-in-law really convinced her father. Would she be given to that bastard?
Within the Uchiha clan, the status of men being superior to women could not be changed. If Rong Lin truly had such value, then it was indeed possible to appease him.
This kind of thing wasn't unheard of. At the very least, for Uchiha Fugaku to get a beauty like Uchiha Mikoto, his father – the Uchiha's previous clan head – had used no small amount of power.
One must know, Uchiha Mikoto was also a talented woman in the village back then, coveted by many. Unfortunately, she eventually ended up in Uchiha Fugaku's 18 quilt.
"Silly girl."
Hugging her crying and fussing younger sister, Uchiha Mikoto showed a gentle smile. She looked less like an older sister and more like a mother caring for her daughter.
"If, if Uchiha Rong Lin truly has such ability, then for you, it might actually be a good thing, perhaps."
A trace of helplessness was revealed in Uchiha Mikoto's words, but she quickly returned to normal. Uchiha Di Qín, who was crying and fussing, didn't notice her sister's abnormality.
"No!!!!"
Uchiha Di Qín shouted loudly, "I don't want to!! That bastard is infuriating! Isn't he just a little talented? How can he bully people like this?"
Uchiha Di Qín cried until she looked like a pear blossom bathed in rain, looking pitiful and making one want to hold her and comfort her.
Like her older sister, she possessed uncommon beauty, it was just a pity she hadn't fully developed yet.
"Silly girl."
Uchiha Mikoto was amused by her sister's words. Hugging her, she comforted, "This is just your guess, it's not necessarily true, right? You know your brother-in-law is the Uchiha clan head; he wouldn't casually bow his head to others, even if the other party has this value."
"Really?"
Uchiha Di Qín, her eyes red, looked up at her older sister, sobbing slightly, tears still on her face. Her eyes flickered with anticipation, hoping what her older sister said was true.
"Of course, my silly sister. You have to think, the other party is a genius. Aren't you too, perhaps?"
Uchiha Mikoto smiled and gently pinched her small nose in comfort.
Compared to her peers, Uchiha Di Qín was indeed a little genius. Awakening her eyes at nine, with good strength, plus her uncommon looks, and her sister and father's status, she was like a little princess wherever she went, receiving extremely high treatment and respect, pursued by countless children within the clan.
"That's more like it."
Her older sister's words calmed Uchiha Di Qín down. A trace of dissatisfaction appeared in her eyes, which had turned red from crying: "Uchiha Rong Lin, it's all your fault! I'll make you pay!!"
"Ahem, ahem~"
This made Uchiha Mikoto unable to help but laugh, causing Uchiha Di Qín to coquettishly fuss with her sister in dissatisfaction.
Let's hope so!
Sighing inwardly, Uchiha Mikoto looked at the window where the moonlight shone in. That's what I said, but what if, just what if, Rong Lin truly has such talent? Then anything is possible.
The Uchiha clan desperately desired to be proven. As long as Rong Lin could achieve it, then never mind one Uchiha Di Qín, probably even several more would be sent over.
Uchiha Di Qín was fuming by herself, but Rong Lin didn't care about this matter. Isn't it just a little beauty?
Are there few beauties in Konoha? Unless she becomes my concubine, that's more like it, but unfortunately, that's impossible.
The next day, Rong Lin, having made his preparations, went to the place where Orochimaru conducted his research.
"Uncle Snake, good morning."
They had made an appointment yesterday. Orochimaru hadn't immersed himself in his work but was leisurely waiting in the research lab for Rong Lin's arrival. This research lab was just a front to deceive people. Even if Rong Lin came, he wasn't worried he would discover anything. As for some secret experiments, they were all conducted elsewhere.
"Rong Lin-kun has arrived. Then let's set off."
Orochimaru still had a faint smile on his face. Going outside the village wasn't because he was up to something sinister, but because the Summoning Technique might cause a big commotion. If Rong Lin signed a contract with some big fellow and summoned it, it would be somewhat troublesome.
Therefore, it was most suitable outside the village, where they could proceed boldly and without worry.
Between toads, snakes, and slugs, Rong Lin chose snakes, and even said a few words about how ugly toads were, which indirectly implied he wasn't interested in Jiraiya either. This made Orochimaru, who had always been in competition with Jiraiya, feel gratified.
As for the competition between the two of them, it had started since they were young. Mutual encouragement, mutual support, 133 but also mutual competition – this was the relationship between Orochimaru and Jiraiya.
Unfortunately, Orochimaru wasn't very good at expressing his feelings, always giving people an impression of being cold and difficult to get along with.
"Rong Lin-kun, I believe you have some understanding of the Summoning Technique. All I can do is offer a little help."
Under the astonished gazes of many, Rong Lin and Orochimaru left the village together.
In others' eyes, Orochimaru was difficult to get along with; you could hardly see him talking and laughing with anyone. But Rong Lin actually managed it!!
Along the way, many people who saw this scene were very surprised! At the same time, they also envied the relationship between Rong Lin and the Sannin. This was something others couldn't even hope for.
"I have some understanding, but because I didn't want to casually sign a contract, I've been holding off on taking action."
Rong Lin nodded. He had learned the Summoning Technique from Tsunade, but Tsunade was quickly angered half to death by him, punching him until he was begging for mercy, all because he said one sentence:
"Slugs, these large earthworms are really ugly."
"Mm."
Orochimaru responded and took out an old scroll, asking Rong Lin to raise his hand. Rong Lin did as he was told. Orochimaru made a cut with his hand, and a tiny wound appeared on Rong Lin's thumb. A few drops of fresh blood fell onto the scroll...
