Chapter 144: Betting

It's a pity that Hideki's interesting proposal did not receive the approval of this group of ruffians.

"What kind of bullshit game is this? Isn't it just that they want us to practice with the ninja school students?"

"Yeah, I won't keep you company, let me out now, or you'll be in trouble!"

Seeing everyone making noise again, Hideki added with a smile:

"Don't worry, I don't like to force others."

"So if anyone really doesn't want to participate in the game, they can choose to handle it impartially. I will personally send him to the police department."

"Well... the charge is just ordinary trespassing on private property. The sentence shouldn't be too long. It's indeed a good choice."

The wanderers fell silent upon hearing this.

Because they all knew that the red-eyed monsters in the police department were notoriously arrogant and would not be persuaded by anything. The most terrifying thing was that they liked to use the Sharingan to interrogate criminals.

Since they dared to come to this workshop to steal information, they must have had a lot of experience in committing crimes before.

So don't listen to what Hideki Kimura says. Once they fall into the hands of the police department, I'm afraid that even the things they committed in the past will be dug up and all will be exposed.

By then, let alone whether I can regain my freedom, even whether I can save my life will be a problem...

Between two evils, choose the lesser one. Many smarter guys have already set their sights on the secret door, and some are tempted.

Hideki added the final blow at the right time:

"Just a friendly reminder, students don't have time to play this game with you every day."

"If you want to collect the key fragments sooner, I recommend that you leave as soon as possible. First come, first served..."

Before he finished speaking, many ronin had already rushed into the secret door.

When others saw this, they followed suit, and finally even rushed forward and blocked the door.

However, even after entering the secret passage, they continued to comfort themselves:

"I'm not giving in. I'm just a brave man who won't suffer a loss. If you want to play games, I'll play with you!"

"They are just some brats from the ninja school. It won't take any time to defeat five of them! I'm going to defeat ten of them!"

"After we get out, I will definitely teach Hideki Kimura a lesson!"

So they walked through the long secret passage and came to small fighting arenas where people were already waiting.

After taking a closer look, I saw that they were all young kids.

Now they finally let go of their worries and began to smile ferociously at the same time.

Since I can't take revenge on Kimura Hideki for now, I'll just ask for some interest from these little brats first...

…

It's a pity that their smiles didn't last long.

And as time went by, expressions of confusion, shock, and even doubt about life appeared on their faces one after another.

In the end, their expressions were filled with deep exhaustion and endless numbness...

Plop!

A new slide was added next to the secret door of each cell.

Every once in a while someone would slip out and land on a pile of straw on the ground.

Judging from their bruised and battered faces, they were probably ronin who had failed in the challenge.

They were outraged at first at being treated like garbage, but soon became speechless.

You have to know that although they are not from a professional background, they have been struggling in the ninja world for many years and are still confident in their own abilities. They believe that they are at least at the level of Konoha's Genin.

But they never imagined that one day, they would be beaten up by a group of ninja school students who had not graduated yet...

How can they have the confidence to protest now?

In fact, there are some more knowledgeable ronin who know that this is not the case.

It's not that they are weak, but the ninja school students they encounter are too strong and have already graduated early.

Not to mention that these students seemed to be following someone's secret instructions during the battle. Even if they were at a slight disadvantage, they could always find a way to turn the tables quickly.

Therefore, even if they have more combat experience, it is difficult to defeat these students.

But even if we know these things, it doesn't really mean much.

Since he was able to teach so many extremely powerful ninja students, Kimura Hideki was definitely not someone they could afford to offend.

Therefore, the only thing they could be sure of now was that they would probably have to stay in this prison for quite some time...

…

At the same time, in the Uchiha clan's meeting room.

"Then, on to the next topic."

Fugaku said in a deep voice,

"Recently, many ninja shops have filmed commercials and played them in the open-air cinema. The promotion effect seems to be quite good."

"So can we also use this method to promote our Uchiha clan's specialties such as round fans?"

The elders in front of him also started to discuss after hearing this:

"Wait, what is the commercial? I don't quite understand it."

"You are so out of date. I asked you to go watch "Fire Teen King" with me. If you went, you wouldn't ask such a stupid question."

"I know this movie. It's the one that Shisui starred in, right?"

"Ah, Third Brother, are you following this drama too? It seems to be coming to an end soon, and the plot is so interesting..."

"Hey, I've been out these days and haven't seen the latest episode yet, so please don't spoil it for me!"

Seeing that the topic inexplicably deviated from shooting a commercial to "Fire Teen King", Fugaku suddenly had several black lines on his forehead.

He coughed twice and was about to ask everyone to get back to the point, but someone couldn't stand it any longer and slammed the table angrily, saying,

"Nonsense!"

The elders suddenly became quiet and looked at Uchiha Setsuna who said this with some confusion.

He just shook his head with a look of disappointment, pointed his sword at Fugaku and said,

"Fugaku, I am so disappointed in you."

"Even though our Uchiha clan has done nothing wrong, we have always been targeted by Konoha."

"But since you became the clan leader, not only have you not taken the lead in the fight, but you have only been giving in and trying to please Sarutobi Hiruzen."

"That's fine, but I didn't expect you to get worse recently."

"Not only is it stupid to let a genius like Shisui go to ninja school, but it's also stupid to let him waste so much time making a movie!"

Fugaku said with a straight face:

"Elder Setsuna, please be mindful of your words."

"No matter who was right or wrong in the past, it is an indisputable fact that there is a gap between our clan and the village now. Eventually, someone has to take the first step towards reconciliation."

"I let Shisui go to school and make movies for this purpose."

"Because I believe that with Shisui's talent and character, he will be able to carry on the wishes of his grandfather, Uchiha Kagami, and become the bond between our clan and the village."

Setsuna snorted coldly: "Bond, bond..."

"Even if what you said is true, Fugaku, maybe Shisui can really become a bond in the future."

"But don't forget how unclear his grandfather's death was."

"If Shisui himself is not strong enough, I'm afraid he will just repeat his grandfather's mistakes and end up with nothing!"

Many elders couldn't help but nod their heads upon hearing this.

The reason why the Uchiha clan has been able to stand firm for thousands of years is precisely because of its powerful strength, which is the best among all ninja clans.

Therefore, it is fine to let Shisui go to school, make movies, and make friends with the Hokage, but the prerequisite is that it does not affect his normal training progress.

When Fugaku heard this, he realized that they had misunderstood each other.

In fact, Shisui did not spend too much time on filming the movie. It's just that he often went to the orphanage to learn chakra breathing techniques recently, so he was often not seen.

However, given the temperament of these old-fashioned people, they would definitely be furious when they heard that Shisui was learning from a teacher who came from a commoner background.

If I want to explain it clearly, I'm afraid I have to tell them everything about the breathing method so that they will be convinced.

Although I heard from Shisui that Kimura Hideki plans to promote breathing techniques in the future.

But whether out of his own cultivation or his respect for Hideki, Fugaku could not interfere and reveal too much information related to the breathing technique.

So he could only keep it to himself and said calmly:

"Don't worry, I can guarantee that Shisui's training has not been delayed..."

"Words are not enough!"

As if Setsuna was waiting for Fugaku to say this, he suddenly interrupted,

"I heard that the Ninja School will hold a martial arts tournament the day after tomorrow, and it seems that Shisui will also participate."

"With Shisui's talent comparable to that of that master, it's only natural for him to win a small competition like this."

At this point, Setsuna finally revealed his true intentions, staring at Fugaku and said,

"In that case, let's make a bet."

"If Shisui can't win the championship, it means he has neglected his training recently."

"Then I will be responsible for supervising Shisui's training from now on. Fugaku, you won't refuse, right?"
