Konoha: Start by unlocking the caged bird

Chapter 66 Acquaintance
"Feel sorry."

Uchiha Shisui said nothing except these two words.

Just when facing the guards of the mountain clan, he raised the forehead protector in his hand.

He was dressed in the attire of an Anbu, and his appearance was very recognizable, so the guards who were very familiar with his clan quickly figured out what was going on.

The guard of the Yamanaka clan opened his mouth slightly, wanting to say something, but said nothing. He just nodded silently, solemnly took the Konoha forehead protector that was almost unrecognizable with both hands, and said softly but solemnly: "Thank you!"

He whispered to his companions, then ran back to the clan with his forehead protector in his arms.

Uchiha Shisui looked up, stared at the door of the Yamanaka clan for a moment, then turned and left.

Hinata Yuzuru followed closely behind.

"Don't cry, Mommy is here. Good evening." A beautiful woman came towards him, holding a young girl who was still crying in her arms.

Facing the two young ninjas who were leaving from the door of their house, they instinctively nodded and said hello.

Seeing Uchiha Shisui, the woman's eyes lit up and she smiled: "Shisui, it's you"

Her smile gradually froze, and Shisui's solemn face seemed to have received some news.

"This is the wife of Master Yamanaka Hiichi, and also Senior Lu's sister."

Uchiha Shisui first briefly introduced the identity of the visitor to Hyuga Yuzuru, then took a deep breath and bowed heavily: "I'm sorry, I couldn't."

Mrs. Yamanaka just put her hand on Shisui's shoulder in panic. At this moment, the child in her arms stopped crying, looked at the two young men in front of them curiously, and made an unknown babbling sound.

"No, don't apologize."

She first stopped Uchiha Shisui from speaking, and then forced a smile: "This is not your fault, Shisui, please don't apologize for it, or blame yourself."

"If my brother knew you were like this, he would definitely be very sad, right?"

"I'm a ninja too, so don't apologize!"

"Did he say anything?"

Mrs. Yamanaka looked at Uchiha Shisui with mixed emotions.

Uchiha Shisui just looked at Hinata Yuzuru in silence. He was farther away at that time and only saw the fire explosion and vaguely heard what Lu said to Yuzuru.

Hinata Yuzuru was speechless for a moment. After hesitating for a moment, he repeated the situation and the words of Senior Shika verbatim.

"Kimi Yuzuru, I'm serious. My niece, Yamanaka Ino, will be very beautiful in the future. Don't worry about the rule that the Hyuga clan must marry their own people. You are always free to fall in love."

The words Hyuga Yuzuru recited made Mrs. Yamanaka couldn't help but smile, but she smiled and shed tears.

“He’s always like this”

"Thank you!"

"Sorry, today may not be the right time to chat with you guys."

"Thank you, Yuzuru-chan. He must have felt like a great hero at that time. He has liked this since he was a child."

Not sure what she had explained, Mrs. Yamanaka wiped her tears, her smile gradually became a little forced, and she said softly: "I'm sorry, I have to go home first."

"Yes, please. Accept my condolences."

Apart from these words, Hinata Yuzuru didn't know how to reply.

After Shisui nodded silently, Mrs. Yamanaka ran quickly towards the house with the child in her arms.

The little girl started crying again because of her sudden running, but she didn't bother to comfort her. She just disappeared behind the door quickly without a trace.

Uchiha Shisui and Hyuga Yuzuru once again walked on the gradually darkening streets. The dusk was leaving and the long night was coming. "Where is Hinagiku-senpai?" After walking for an unknown amount of time, Hyuga Yuzuru broke the silence.

"She has no family left."

Uchiha Shisui paused for a moment, then smiled apologetically: "Oh, by the way, can you give me Hinagiku-senpai's forehead protector?"

"Yes." Hinata Yuzuru handed him the forehead protector.

He solemnly put away the forehead protector and put it in his arms.

Raising his head, Uchiha Shisui took a deep breath, stretched out his hands, and patted his cheeks hard.

"I'm sorry for making you see my embarrassing appearance."

He showed his usual, slightly naive, gentle smile: "Let's go eat. How about that barbecue restaurant before departure?"

"After eating, go home, wash up and have a good sleep."

"The Third Master has no missions for us for the time being, so take this time to rest and recuperate."

Hinata Yuzuru nodded: "Okay."

Naturally, his sadness cannot be as profound as Shisui's. In fact, he has already adjusted his emotions at this moment.

He was originally thinking about how to comfort Shisui, but when he tried to muster up his energy, it turned out to be his own Shisui. In the end, he just pretended to cheer up because of the other person's encouragement and smiled.

"We have to have a good meal today."

Shisui just smiled and nodded.

The senior used to take care of his emotions like this, burying all the grief deep in his heart and leaving it to lick the wounds when he was alone.

He also needs to be an excellent senior and never let the younger generations worry about him!

The two followed the sparse flow of people towards the main commercial street of Konoha. However, the barbecue restaurant that was sparsely populated at two or three in the afternoon last time was now busiest with customers at six or seven in the evening.

As soon as he walked into the store, he felt the heat rushing towards his face, the aroma of the food wafting out, the lively appearance of the guests, and the leisurely and peaceful atmosphere, which actually made Yuzuru Hinata feel a little uncomfortable having to eat and sleep in the wild and be wary of the vegetation. .

"welcome!"

The busy waiter subconsciously raised his head to welcome him. When he saw the two "miserable" looking ANBU ninjas, he was slightly startled, but he just hurriedly showed a more sincere smile and said slightly apologetically: "Sorry, at this moment The store is already full, can you two wait a moment? There should be customers checking out soon."

"Ah, or maybe you can see if there's anyone you know in the store who you can share a table with?"

Uchiha Shisui just wanted to refuse, find another place, or just stop eating.

In the distance, someone suddenly shouted, "Is that Yuzuru!?"

A man with a watermelon head wearing green tights suddenly stood up, and his enthusiastic voice attracted all the guests to look at him.

The Konoha ninjas sitting next to Might Guy had to lower their heads and cover their faces, looking like they didn't know him.

Hinata Yuzuru hit Uchiha Shisui's waist with her elbow. Uchiha Shisui hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.

"Kai, long time no see."

He and Shisui walked forward slowly and walked over, only to realize that Metkai was probably attending a dinner party at the moment.

There were five ninjas sitting around a round table. Hinata Yuzuru took a quick glance and roughly determined the identities of these people.

Sarutobi Asuma, Yuhi Kurenai, Metkai, Shiranui Genma, Ebisu.

They are all familiar figures.
