Chapter 78 - Politics 101 with Yami -sensei (Part 1) (2/2)
'Playing dumb can turn a powerplay on its head. When someone has to explain exactly how they are threatening you, it becomes either laughable or plain evil, both of which are more easily resisted' - thinks Yami...
Then suddenly the Hokage clears his throat and all of the clan heads immediately stop communicating with handsigns.
Then the Hokage looks towards Yami and says in a calm and serious voice.
”We are glad to have you here Yami.”
Fugaku Uchiha is about to say something but the Uchiha clan head notices this and looks at him coldly. Fugaku's words got stuck in his throat… and he didn't say anything.
The Uchiha clan leader can't help but look at the Inuzuka kid in a new light.
'The kid melted all of the ice and suspicion when he got here by acting like he did. He already knows what is happening. He also showed that cold look to Uchiha, the Hyuga and the Kurama clan… he is telling us not to act against him no he is… ORDERING US… THAT KID… JUST BECAUSE HE GOT A LITTLE FAME HE THINKS THAT THE UCHIHA ARE SO WEAK…'
Even though the anger inside the Uchiha clan head was like a volcano. He had an impassive face like nothing happened. He looks towards Fugaku, the future clan head that the current Clan Head is trying to make him understand the political side of konoha… just strength and pride are not enough to be prosperous in Konoha. Fugaku will need some more self control before he can be married to Mikoto and take over as the Clan Head.
Hiruzen smiles and says to Yami.
”I heard that you did some amazing things on the battlefield and saved hundreds of lives. Tsunade is very proud of you.”
Yami didn't stop smiling at all and said in a sincere voice.
”Thanks Hokage -sama. I am glad that I was able to help… also I gave Jiraya -sama the four ninja Swords that I took when I killed their welders. I hope that Jiraya -sama is able to use them to broker peace with the Land Of Water.”
The Hokage nods and then he gets a serious look.
”Jounin Yami Inuzuka… due to some troublesome news… they say that they have seen you using a Chain like Fuinjutsu technique.”
Everyone is looking at Yami with a serious face.
But Yami seems like he is oblivious to the looks around him and says with an even wider smile and he seems completely relaxed...
