A few days later.
Uchiha Clan, in a spacious tea room.
A few days after returning to Konoha, Maples was invited to visit the Uchiha Clan.
"This is my wife, and this is my son, Itachi."
Fugaku introduced his family to Maples in a friendly manner.
His wife slightly saluted Maples, and on the other side stood a boy who was very young but didn't have the curiosity of an ordinary boy, and was very calm. He also bowed to Maples and said: "Greetings, Maples -sama."
It was the four-year-old Uchiha Itachi.
Although Itachi looked more like a cute child at this time, in fact, he was exposed to the battlefield of the Third World War at the most intense time of the war at the beginning of the year.
Looking at the four-year-old Uchiha Itachi, Maples showed a faint smile and said: "This child is very good, he will definitely become an excellent ninja."
Hearing Maples' evaluation, Fugaku also showed a smile.
Itachi was indeed his pride. At the age of only four, whether it was in character or in practice, he has shown extremely outstanding talent, far beyond his peers.
"Thank you for your praise, Maples -sama."
Itachi bowed to Maples again.
Although it was the first time he met Maples, he already knew the identity of Maples from his father. He was the famous Silver Flash of the Shinobi World.
Even he has heard of the deeds of Silver Flash, and especially recently, after the return of Maples, the topic of Maples has increased a lot.
For Maples, he has a lot of respect.
Because he carries the name of Konoha's hero.
"Itachi, you go first."
Fugaku motioned Itachi and his wife to leave, then picked up the teapot on the table and began to work.
Maples glanced at the direction where Itachi and Fugaku's wife left and said: "Fugaku's wife seems to be pregnant again, right?"
"Yes."
Fugaku smiled and said, "It's been three months."
Hearing Fugaku's words, Maples couldn't help but sigh. It's been so long since he came to this world, and Konoha's Twelve Geniuses have already reached the age of birth.
Fugaku tidied up the tea set while looking at Rin kneeling behind the Maples, his eyes flashed slightly.
Due to Konoha's high-level blockade, he didn't know Rin's identity as the Sanbi's Jinchuriki. In his opinion, the fact that Maples brought Rin with him meant that their relationship wasn't ordinary.
Unfortunately …
Previously, Kuroto had thought about accepting a girl who was not a member of the Uchiha Clan as his adopted daughter, and then carefully train her. After a few years, he will see if he can use marriage to get the Maples to join the Uchiha Clan, but now it seems that it won't be an easy task.
The Uchiha Clan is very arrogant, and they never put other clans in their eyes, but they still have a certain amount of respect for existences like Konoha's White Fang and Silver Flash.
Because there aren't many ninjas at this level in the entire ninja world.
Especially Maples.
At the age of 13, he has already reached the peak of the ninja world. As the Clan Head of the Uchiha Clan, he didn't have any conflict of interest with Maples, so naturally, he wanted to win him over.
And he also saw that the relationship between Maples and Konoha's high-level was not good, and as the Clan Head of the Uchiha Clan, it wasn't difficult for him to guess the inside story.
Maples can be regarded as a member of Orochimaru's faction.
And now, within the village, most of the ninjas support Jiraiya's faction, including Konoha's high-level members, which will inevitably lead to a conflict.
Konoha's high-level members have been excluding the Uchiha Clan, and if they want to participate in the high-level game of Konoha, they will inevitably be blocked outside the door. Therefore, Maples, who is against the high-level of Konoha, is a target that needs to be won over, at least not as an enemy.
Maples and Fugaku chatted for a while.
Fugaku didn't have much dislike for the Uchiha Clan.
When he was weak, he couldn't get in touch with the Uchiha Clan, but when he became strong, the Uchiha Clan always treated him with courtesy and respect. Although this respect was exchanged for his strength, it didn't prevent him from having a good impression of the Uchiha Clan.
"Next year, when the second son is one month old, Maples, remember to come."
Fugaku sent Maples outside the Clan grounds and smiled at Maples.
Maples smiled and nodded, "Okay."
After saying goodbye, Kuroto took Rin and left the Uchiha Clan's residence. After leaving, Rin let out a sigh of relief and said, "That's the Patriarch of the Uchiha Clan!"
As a child of civilian origin, facing the Patriarch of the Uchiha Clan, the number one clan in Konoha, she was a little nervous and restrained.
At the same time, she also sighed.
These high-level members of Konoha, who were once almost impossible to see, were still polite in front of Maples, and treated Maples as equals.
"You seem a little nervous."
Maples smiled.
Rin nodded and said, "After all, it's the Uchiha Clan."
Maples took over Rin's words, looked at the street in front of him, walked forward with his hands behind his back, and said, "The Uchiha Clan … In fact, sooner or later you will come in contact with the major forces of Konoha. You have become the Sanbi's Jinchuriki, and now you are labeled as a member of my Clan. Don't think that you are just an ordinary Chunin."
Before, as a member of Kakashi's team, Rin's identity was nothing special.
But after becoming the Sanbi's Jinchuriki and joining his team, at this time, in a sense, Rin can be regarded as a figure of his Clan, and a very important figure.
Fugaku didn't know about the Sanbi's Jinchuriki. If he knew, he would have judged this point, and his attitude towards Rin wouldn't be the same as before.
Rin understood something and followed Maples.
The two walked on the street, and from time to time, they would meet Maples's ninjas, who respectfully saluted Maples. Even if he disappeared for two years, Maples's popularity in Konoha was still high enough.
Maples didn't take Rin back home, but took her all the way to the back mountain of Konoha. Kakashi was practicing Lightning Ninjutsu in the back mountain, and he was very diligent.
Maples was his brother, and he couldn't win.
But Rin was just a member of his team, and now she suddenly became the Sanbi's Jinchuriki, which made him feel a lot of pressure about his own strength, and how can he lose to Rin?
"Rin, continue with your previous practice."
After observing Kakashi's practice, Maples took Rin to the other side.
In a sense, Rin is now a perfect Jinchuriki, and she can fight side by side with the Bijuu, but this power needs to be worn out.
After all, Rin was just a Chunin before, and it's not so much that she was controlling the Sanbi's power, it's more like she was being controlled by the Sanbi's power, and it's difficult for her to play her own role.
Instructing Rin and Kakashi's practice is only part of it.
Another part.
Maples himself was also practicing the Flying Thunder God Jutsu.
