He was only jolted out of his thoughts when a mischievous splatter of oil landed on Kurama Murakumo's hand.

"Ah, the meat is a bit tough now, eat it quickly."

As he spoke, he picked up the largest piece of roasted meat from the grill and placed it on the plate of the boy sitting opposite him.

"The quality of the barbecue here is quite good, but Yakumo is physically weak and can't stand the smoky smell for a long time, so I didn't call her over."

While picking up the meat, Kurama Murakumo began to mention his daughter, intentionally or unintentionally.

I wanted to glean something from the boy's face.

However, he failed.

Huang was clearly not buying it. Neither the window that symbolized his soul nor his demeanor revealed anything unusual. He simply said, "Thank you, I can do it myself," and then used his chopsticks to pick up some roasted meat from the plate and put it in his mouth.

The texture is slightly hard, which is due to the excessive grilling time.

However, the satisfying feeling of being filled with the aroma of meat still delights the taste buds.

"We need to be careful on this trip to Amegakure. Hanzo the Salamander is not someone to be trifled with."

Seeing the composed little guy opposite him, Kurama Murakumo knew that continuing to be reserved would be useless, so he got down to business.

"Ah."

"I know this."

Huang nodded slightly.

In terms of experience, he might not be as good as the Kurama clan head in front of him, but in terms of understanding of the ninja world and his various experiences over the years, the Kurama clan head, who was content with Konoha, was no match for him.

"I went there on behalf of Konoha, unless Hanzo disregards the situation of the Land of Rain and wants to start a war."

"It's alright."

He then quickly added that it only made things worse.

After all, he didn't know why the head of the Kurama clan had sought him out after the meeting.

However, due to the presence of Kurama Yakumo and the promise he had made to the girl, Ara still followed her to this famous Konoha barbecue restaurant.

However, on the other hand, it was remarkable that he was able to approach me directly after the meeting, right under the noses of many clan heads and the four high-ranking officials of Konoha.

Is that a kind of courage?

Of course, this is on the premise that the other party was not deliberately arranged by the Third Hokage.

"Huh?"

Kurama Murakumo was slightly taken aback upon hearing such a reply.

Because the other party's words were very different from their previous behavior in the meeting room, at the very least, one should not have such naive ideas.

If the identity of the Konoha envoy were truly useful, then the villages wouldn't mysteriously disappear every year, or have so many unfortunate people detained by other forces.

However, he quickly regained his senses.

The boy in front of him clearly didn't want to say anything more.

really.

After finishing off the grilled meat on the plate, the Uchiha clan head sitting opposite him put down his chopsticks, picked up a handkerchief to wipe his mouth, and then politely said:

"Then I'll have to take my leave. After all, the Hokage hasn't given me much time to rest, and I have some things to take care of when I get back."

"Thank you for the dinner today."

"Then, goodbye."

After saying that, Huang stood up.

Three days—those old guys only gave him three days to prepare.

They really seem eager to go and die.

Has the strength I've revealed already made those guys feel fear and unease?

Thinking of this, a shadow fell over his eyes.

Of course, Huang had already turned his body to the side, so no one could see the expression on his face.

But as he pushed open the shoji door of the private room, he heard Murakumo's voice: "If you can return unharmed from Amegakure, the Kurama clan is willing to follow the Uchiha's lead."

His voice was firm, devoid of any other emotion.

As for concerns about being overheard, these are nonexistent in the presence of two ninjas with powerful sensory abilities.

Huang did not respond, nor did he look back, and he did not even stop going out.

The horse-riding clan follows the lead of horses.

Apart from Yakumo Kurama, that clan doesn't seem to have any other notable figures.

Or perhaps this was a test from the Third Generation, using the Kurama clan, who were also skilled in illusion, as pawns?

He didn't dare to gamble.

They also didn't want to gamble.

"Because Yakumo believes in you, I want to put all my eggs in one basket."

"The Kurama clan also wants to revive its former glory."

However, the person's words came to his ears again, and this time there was a hint of urgency and sincerity in their voice.

'Kurama Yakumo?'

Huang suddenly turned around, his eyes filled with a cold glint.

Could it be that the girl somehow managed to leak the secret that she was supposed to keep?

It's no wonder they would make such a guess.

After all, that girl could even see through my spiritual pressure!

Sensing the clear hostility, Kurama Murakumo trembled slightly without realizing it.

How many lives must one have taken, how much blood must one have stained to create such murderous intent?

He regretted his decision.

but.

But besides the boy in front of them, their own family, their own daughter, are there any other choices, any other foreseeable future?

No!

Completely invisible!

Are we just going to let the Kurama clan disappear from the ninja world and vanish among the common people, just like the Senju of the Forest in the past?

He didn't want to.

This is something no head of a powerful family would want to see!

Most importantly, Yakumo has awakened the clan's bloodline limit, so this clan is not without hope.

At this moment, all they need is a favorable wind to help them take off.

The current Hokage clearly does not possess such an ability.

As for Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin, her whereabouts are even more unknown.

What did she say?

He looked down from his high vantage point and questioned the intruder, the fierce glint in his eyes clearly visible.

Upon hearing this, Kurama Congyun instantly realized what was wrong.

He gradually came to believe that the boy in front of him had done his daughter a favor, but he overlooked the possibility that there might be some kind of agreement or secret between them.

I have now touched upon the other party's secrets, and may even have aroused the little guy's murderous intent!

"No."

"Yakumo didn't say anything."

Kurama Murakumo, the head of the clan, had never been so flustered.

He answered hastily.

"I noticed it myself. After all, she is my daughter. No matter how well she hides it, it will not escape the eyes of those close to her."

Please don't hurt her.

Seemingly feeling that his answer was not enough, he quickly added more.

In response, Huang simply stared silently at the man in his field of vision, trying to find a trace of pretense on the other's face, but he failed.

"It's best not to have any ulterior motives."

"Otherwise, I don't know what I would do."

He issued a warning and slowly pushed the shoji door shut.

However, in that last remaining narrow space, he added softly, "When I return, the Kurama clan can choose to come and join me."

Done.

The last remaining slit closed.

The narrow space fell silent again. The clan lord, Kurama Murakumo, suddenly slumped onto the table, cold sweat pouring down his face. His eyes flashed back to the scene of Murakumo facing the Konoha high command:

"Uchiha Ara, on behalf of the Sarutobi clan, I express our sincerest apologies to you. Regardless of the reason, the Sarutobi clan was indeed at fault this time. We hope that you can forgive and forget, and call on the Uchiha clan to live in peace with the Sarutobi clan, jointly build Konoha Village, and inherit the Will of Fire."

At the start of the meeting, Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi humbled himself and apologized to an eleven-year-old boy in front of the heads of various clans.

From another perspective, this is also a tacit acknowledgment of the other party's status as the head of the Uchiha clan.

However, just as the heads of the various clans nodded slightly in admiration, and even Shimura Danzo felt he couldn't have done that, the upright-sitting young man uttered something truly astonishing:

"Can I... not accept it?"

He answered casually.

However, this pushed the entire warm and harmonious situation into a cold abyss.
