He was now a wealthy man, with annual dividends from Uchiha's businesses alone reaching hundreds of millions.
Under these circumstances, he was actually underestimated by Ayame?
If an uncle could tolerate it, an aunt could not!
He immediately started playfully bickering with Ayame, but unfortunately, he lost again.
More accurately, he had never won.
On the other hand, Teuchi Ichiraku, upon hearing these words, couldn't help but smile and say,
"Jin-kun has become a Jonin!"
"This is truly great news, we must celebrate it properly."
"I declare that tomorrow the shop will be closed for a day. Jin-kun, remember to come to my house for lunch; I'll cook you a table full of delicious dishes!"
Yes.
He knew Uchiha Jin's situation; not only had he lost his parents at a young age, but his relationship with his own clan members was also not very good.
Jin was raised by him, essentially like a half-child.
Now that Jin had become a Jonin, he certainly didn't want this child to not even have someone to celebrate and be happy with.
It didn't matter that he didn't know a few days ago.
Now that he knew today, he certainly had to put some thought into it for Jin.
Uchiha Jin: "..."
He was indeed moved.
Whether it was Kazama, Aya, or even Fugaku now,
his interactions with them always involved a hint of self-interest.
Only Teuchi and his daughter.
In this cold Konoha, besides Shisui, only this father and daughter truly treated him well without expecting anything in return.
Thinking of this, he took a deep breath.
"Alright, it's a deal!"
"Then I'll look forward to enjoying your cooking, Teuchi-san, tomorrow!"
"I'll bring the sake!"
Chapter 68: Namikaze Minato visits the shop and talks about Uchiha Jin
Uchiha Itachi's mind went blank.
Watching Uchiha Jin and Ayame playfully bicker, he even felt a sense of unreality.
How was this possible?
Although he was young,
as the clan head's son, he was naturally aware of Uchiha's standing in the village.
Uchiha's reputation in the village was terrible!
Apart from those in the Police Force, most Uchiha Clan members rarely left the clan compound, let alone interacted with other villagers.
But Jin?
Why could he get along so well with the villagers?
This scene
challenged his understanding too much.
The still young Itachi, of course, found this difficult to comprehend.
"Teuchi-san, four deluxe stewed pork ramen."
Just then,
Namikaze Minato walked in with his three disciples and sat directly next to Jin and Itachi.
His face was beaming with a sunny smile, making him appear very friendly and likable to anyone who saw him.
With their arrival, the entire table became very crowded.
"Oh, it's Minato!" Teuchi-san said with a chuckle, "Alright, coming right up."
Ayame, seeing this, quickly got up to greet the guests.
However,
when she saw Uchiha Jin, her brow couldn't help but twitch.
"Jin, don't you see we have customers?"
"Hurry up and finish eating, then come help!"
Uchiha Jin looked helpless.
But he still quickly finished his meal and got up, then ran to the back kitchen to help.
Teuchi-san was in charge of the ramen, Ayame handled the customers, and Uchiha Jin prepared the side dishes.
He even
didn't forget to take out a large pile of garlic and directly placed it next to Itachi.
"Itachi, peel the garlic!"
Itachi's mouth twitched.
But he didn't say much, quickly finished his meal, and started helping.
Namikaze Minato and his three disciples were slightly startled when they saw this scene.
Yes.
Two Uchiha helping out at Teuchi-san's shop; this whole situation seemed off no matter how you looked at it.
Especially Itachi!
Kushina and Mikoto were good friends, so Namikaze Minato naturally knew Itachi.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but ask, "Itachi, who is that..."
"He's my master," Itachi whispered, "His name is Uchiha Jin, and he's the only one in my clan who has awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan."
"Father asked me to apprentice under him today, and now my master has brought me here."
"I don't know anything else."
Namikaze Minato seemed to understand.
As a core member of the Hokage faction, he knew even more about this emerging Uchiha powerhouse than most people.
It was understandable that Fugaku, as the clan head, would have his son apprentice under Jin.
What he hadn't expected, though, was how familiar Jin was with Teuchi's family.
Is this really an Uchiha?
He never thought
that besides his disciple Uchiha Obito, there was someone else in the Uchiha Clan willing to interact with the village.
"Minato-sensei, Uchiha Jin is in my graduating class," Uchiha Obito said, "But I'm not familiar with him. I only know he used to be very ordinary and was a B-class student. I never expected him to awaken the Mangekyo."
"But I'll never be worse than him; I'll definitely awaken the Mangekyo someday too!"
Obito looked proud.
He even seemed a bit gritting his teeth as he said this.
Yes.
Although he was a dead last, he was a dead last in Class A.
And Uchiha Jin?
This dead last from Class B suddenly awakened the Mangekyo and even became an Uchiha genius.
How could he tolerate that?
Hatake Kakashi, hearing this, also spoke up, "I encountered this Uchiha here before when I was eating. I heard he's been eating here frequently for seven or eight years."
