He didn't believe that he couldn't ensure the safe growth of Uchiha Gen, with Uchiha Qianyi as his father, and together with the Third Elder and himself, the First Elder.
"Uh... That's right! That kid really can't be judged by the standards of an ordinary one - year - old! Hahaha!"
Putting these intentions together, it does seem like there's a bit of a distorted feeling to it!
The First Elder didn't know what was on Uchiha Qianyi's mind. Looking at him with amusement, he retorted, "At just over one year old, he was able to create such a powerful medicinal formula. Coupled with all the things he's shown since birth, do you really think your son is an ordinary one - year - old?"
Furthermore, the last two times his son prepared the medicinal bath formula, he specifically told him to prepare it for Uchiha Mikoto as well.
As for the issue of Uchiha Gen not growing up, he had never considered it.
In the future, so long as he doesn't die young, he will surely reach an unprecedented height and lift the Uchiha clan to new heights too.
He even saw a glimmer of Uchiha Gen surpassing Madara Uchiha.
Hearing this, Uchiha Qianyi also laughed and scratched the back of his head.
Compared to the mediocre Fugaku, he now has higher hopes for Uchiha Gen.
Coupled with the relationship between Uchiha Mikoto and Uchiha Gen, there's great potential!
Although he still thought it was a bit absurd to talk about the marriage between Uchiha Mikoto and Uchiha Gen at this point.
After all, there's a rather large age gap between the two.
A full twelve years.
This was the reason he was hesitant about Uchiha Mikoto's engagement to Fugaku.
The First Elder listened and nodded in satisfaction, "Then let the kids handle it themselves! We don't need to worry about it!"
"As for Fugaku, I'll hold him off for now and see what Uchiha Gen and Uchiha Mikoto decide for themselves!"
"I believe that within three to five years, it will be enough time for the two of them to settle this matter!"
Of course, he also wanted to use these three to five years to determine Uchiha Gen's future.
To see if he was just a flash in the pan or an ever - present prodigy.
"I have no objections! Hehe!" Uchiha Qianyi smiled knowingly.
.....
In Uchiha Gen's home,
"What? The First Elder intends to match up Uchiha Gen and Uchiha Mikoto?"
Hearing her husband's words, Uchiha Meixin looked shocked.
"More or less!"
Uchiha Qianyi nodded with a sigh, "Although he was beating around the bush, that's basically what he meant. Apparently, he's taken a fancy to our little Uchiha Gen's talent and abilities and is planning to invest early!"
"What do you think about this? Isn't the age gap between the two a bit large?"
Hearing this, Uchiha Meixin shook her head with amusement, "What's wrong with that? I think Uchiha Mikoto is a great kid!"
"Whether it's her looks, figure, personality, or talent, she's very outstanding and is a good match for our Uchiha Gen!"
"Of course, everything depends on little Uchiha Gen's own choice. As parents, we won't make decisions for him."
Even if we talk to him, he might not listen.
"Yeah!"
....
Inside the Hokage's office,
Tanzō found the Third Hokage and immediately asked, "Hiruzen! I assume you've heard about the matters regarding the Uchiha clan?"
" Hmm?"
The Third Hokage took a puff on his hand-rolled cigarette and cast a glance at Tanzō, nodding. "Yeah! I've indeed heard about it! The Uchiha clan truly lives up to its reputation! Geniuses keep emerging."
"Humph!"
Upon hearing this, Tanzō immediately let out a cold snort and said harshly, "No matter how many geniuses they have, it can't change the Uchiha clan's evil nature."
"Hiruzen, don't forget the teacher's comments and policies regarding the Uchiha clan. I want to recruit that Uchiha Gen into ROOT for training. What do you think?"
"Not a good idea!"
The Third Hokage rolled his eyes in annoyance. "That's the son of Uchiha Qianyi, and he's only one year old for god's sake. Do you think they'd agree?"
What the hell is Tanzō thinking with that pig brain of his?
Why would he say something so obviously impossible?
If the Uchiha clan really agreed, they probably wouldn't be the Uchiha clan anymore, and he wouldn't have to worry about their strength either.
But Tanzō didn't see it that way. He immediately said in a deep voice, "But we can't just stand by and watch another genius of their clan grow up, can we? I feel this kid is even more exaggerated than Madara Uchiha when he was a child. Who knows how far he'll grow in the future?"
"Only by nipping this threat in the bud can we rest easy."
He wouldn't admit that he was also coveting Uchiha Gen's talent and wanted to control him and train him into his own blade.
Does he really harbor hatred towards the Uchiha clan?
No! This is just a pretense. He is just jealous of and covets the innate talents of the Uchiha clan.
If he could also possess such a unique talent, the position of Hokage would have been his long ago.
Becoming someone who can surpass the First Hokage and Madara Uchiha in the future, unifying the ninja world, and becoming the supreme of the ninja world is not just a wild fantasy.
"Stop talking!"
After hearing this, the Third Hokage's face darkened. He looked at Tanzō seriously and warned, "A child is just a child. We can't target him just because he was born into the Uchiha clan."
"I won't allow you to do anything to that child."
If Tanzō were really allowed to act recklessly, the entire Uchiha clan and even Konoha would likely be in serious trouble.
Moreover, the Third Hokage wasn't completely oblivious to his old friend's true thoughts.
Thus, he would never allow Tanzō's scheme to succeed.
"Hiruzen... You... You'll regret this! The evil Uchiha clan isn't worthy of your sympathy!"
Tanzō roared in Fury.
The Third Hokage angrily slapped the table and said, "How dare you! Tanzō, don't forget, I'm the Hokage. I know what I'm doing!"
"The Uchiha clan is also a part of Konoha. I won't allow you to act recklessly. I have my own plans for all this."
Tanzō: "....."
Damn it, I know you're the Hokage. Can you stop rubbing it in every time?
Don't you know that every time you remind me, it's like pouring salt on my wounds?
"If I hadn't been a bit slower to step forward back then, the teacher would surely have chosen me to be the Hokage! Humph!"
"Hiruzen Sarutobi, I'm actually not worse than you. I'm even more suitable to be the Hokage than you."
These words churned in Tanzō's heart, but he ultimately didn't say them out loud.
At this time, he flicked his sleeve, snorted coldly at the Third Hokage, and said, "Humph! Hiruzen, you'll regret this!"
After saying that, Tanzō slammed the door shut and walked away briskly.
Leaving the Third Hokage here to continue puffing on his pipe tobacco, he thought, "Really... Tanzō holds far too much hostility towards the Uchiha clan! You can't be Hokage like this, and things can't be handled so extremely / in such an extreme way."
The Uchiha clan is still extremely important and indispensable to Konoha. He couldn't let Tanzō run wild like this.
"I still have to speed up and intensify the cultivation and winning over of civilian ninjas and ninjas from small clans."

Uchiha Qianyi expressed his stance to the First Elder.
"Yeah!"
However, he figured he'd better leave this issue for Uchiha Gen to think about on his own!
It seems he can't make decisions on Gen's behalf.
At this moment, he also couldn't help but recall the bits and pieces of the interactions between Uchiha Mikoto and his youngest son over the past half year or so.
What if Gen is willing?
"Let's leave this matter to Gen and Mikoto to decide on their own! I don't think it's right for us to make decisions for them; "
"Of course, in principle, I don't have any objections. Uchiha Meixin probably won't object either. After all, she really likes Mikoto."
This kid is simply a prodigy.
A prodigy with limitless prospects.
