Chapter 302: Am I being insulted? I was so angry that I couldn't sleep all night!
The ward.
After Torune Ryoui left, Fujiwara Tetsuya's gaze gradually turned cold.
A low voice continuously echoed within the small ward.
"Uchiha Fugaku, huh?"
"How interesting! Let me see what tricks your Uchiha Clan can pull."
…Several days later, Fujiwara Tetsuya didn't wait for Uchiha Mikoto, but instead encountered a few unexpected people.
"Uchiha Yashiro?"
Looking at the Uchiha members in front of him, Fujiwara Tetsuya, who was lying in bed, slowly sat up, a hint of playfulness in his eyes.
The Uchiha Clan's actions were faster than he imagined, and also more mindless.
"Remember to take back the things you brought when you leave. I can't accept gifts from the Uchiha Clan."
"Alright, gentlemen… don't just stand there. If you have something to say, just say it directly, okay?"
Although he couldn't use Chakra temporarily, at this moment… Fujiwara Tetsuya didn't feel the slightest bit of worry.
If he remembered correctly, to ensure he wouldn't be disturbed by outsiders during his treatment, Hiruzen Sarutobi had specifically dispatched an ANBU Squad to monitor the vicinity.
If Uchiha Yashiro and the others really made a move, then what happened next… would be even more interesting.
"As expected of Konoha's new generation's top talent, your words are surprisingly direct."
"Since that's the case, I'll be direct. The clan's higher-ups have already made a decision to marry Mikoto to Fugaku, so… starting today, I hope you can stay away from Mikoto."
…"Hey ~ are these guys from the Uchiha Clan out of their minds?"
"How dare they bring up such a thing in front of Lord Tetsuya?"
Just as Fujiwara Tetsuya had predicted, the ANBU Squad members were indeed secretly monitoring… no, protecting his safety.
Therefore, Uchiha Yashiro's words fell into the ears of all the Anbu members, not a single word missed.
"Isn't this normal?"
"After all, those guys from the Uchiha Clan have arrogance etched into their bones."
"People like Lord Kagami and Mikoto Jonin… are just extremely rare exceptions within the Uchiha Clan."
Looking at the Uchiha Clan members continuously pressuring Fujiwara Tetsuya in the ward, the leading Anbu member couldn't help but twitch his mouth.
"What should we do? Do we need to report this to the Sandaime?"
"Of course, we must report it! Don't you guys… want to see those bastards from the Uchiha Clan get put in their place?"
…"So… did those Old fellows from the Uchiha Clan send you to find me? Or Uchiha Fugaku? Or did you… guys act on your own?"
Looking at the calm Uchiha Yashiro, and the several arrogant lackeys behind him.
A surge of wicked anger gradually rose in Fujiwara Tetsuya's heart.
It seemed his decision that day was not wrong; leading Danzo onto the right path… was indeed a very wise decision.
They didn't even have a single person with Mangekyo, yet they dared to come and flaunt their power in front of him?
"Hmph ~ this is not something a brat like you can know."
"You only need to understand that you must obey the Uchiha Clan's decision, and from now on, stay as far away from Mikoto as possible!"
"This is the best choice for you… and for the Shinobi Clan behind you."
"Can I… interpret that as your Uchiha Clan… threatening me?"
Looking at the Uchiha Clan youth who threatened him, Fujiwara Tetsuya said in a deep voice, and a chilling killing intent suddenly erupted around him.
Although it no longer possessed the might of his peak state, that heavy oppressive feeling… still made Uchiha Yashiro and the others feel immense pressure, and they instinctively activated their crimson Two-Tomoe and Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
"Hey, you bastards from the Uchiha Clan, what exactly do you want to do?"
"This is Konoha Hospital. Do you intend to lay hands on Lord Tetsuya here?"
Seeing the situation further escalate, the Anbu members lurking in the shadows quickly entered the ward and shielded Fujiwara Tetsuya behind them.
"Anbu members?"
Looking at the suddenly appearing Anbu members, Uchiha Yashiro and the others couldn't help but look grim.
They were careless!
Before entering the hospital, they forgot to check the surroundings, which led to them not discovering the presence of the Anbu.
Uchiha Yashiro was fully confident that everything that happened here tonight would be relayed, word for word, to Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi by these pawns of the Hokage faction.
"You four, move aside, you're blocking my view."
Looking at the Anbu members blocking his line of sight, Fujiwara Tetsuya complained helplessly.
"Uh…"
"Red Fox, didn't you hear Lord Tetsuya's command? Move to the side!"
"Cough ~ Captain, how can you say that about me in front of Lord Tetsuya?"
"You're clearly blocking Lord Tetsuya's view more…"
Staring at the Anbu members who were bickering over such a trivial matter, black lines couldn't help but appear on Uchiha Yashiro's forehead.
Were these Anbu members truly Anbu members?
Or was it that? The long war had also put immense pressure on the Anbu, causing them to lower their recruitment standards?
"Uchiha Yashiro!"
"Go back and report… tell them I already understand the Uchiha Clan's intentions."
"Lord Tetsuya, we are very sorry, we were negligent… we didn't expect those bastards from the Uchiha Clan to appear in your ward."
Watching Uchiha Yashiro and the others leave, the four Anbu members, after a sigh of relief, knelt before Fujiwara Tetsuya.
"All of you, get up!"
"I am no longer an Anbu Squad Leader; there's no need to salute me according to Anbu etiquette."
"Go about your business, I need to rest ~"
Although he said he was resting… the truth was, Fujiwara Tetsuya was so disgusted by Uchiha Yashiro and the others that he didn't sleep all night.
He kept imagining in his mind how he would thoroughly trample on the Uchiha Clan's face once he recovered.
Returning all the threats and humiliations he suffered tonight… At the same time the Anbu members went to inform Hiruzen Sarutobi about what happened in the ward.
The figures of Uchiha Qingfeng and Uchiha Kazuha also appeared in Uchiha Mikoto's residence.
"Qingfeng, Kazuha… you two coming to see me so late, is there something urgent?"
During Fujiwara Tetsuya's hospitalization, Uchiha Mikoto had clearly been under considerable pressure… her clear, penetrating eyes revealed an unspeakable weariness.
"Mikoto…"
"What's wrong? Has the clan put more pressure on you two?"
Seeing the slightly hesitant expressions of Uchiha Qingfeng and Uchiha Kazuha, Uchiha Mikoto's fair face appeared a little desolate under the moonlight.
"No… it's not the clan."
"Never mind, Kazuha, I'll tell her!"
"We just received news that a short while ago, Senior Yashiro took Uchiha River, Uchiha Ryuuka, and a few others to Konoha Hospital to see Lord Tetsuya."
