Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 182 Awkwardness

Before long, the large pot of extra-large stew was completely devoured by this group of guys.

Even the soup base was completely devoured.

This fully illustrates what it means for a half-grown kid to eat his father out of house and home.

Not only this pot of ingredients, but also the side dishes prepared for the next meal were all devoured by them as if they were being cooked in a hot pot.

Seeing this, Toshiro felt heartbroken, and his lips twitched uncontrollably.

However, seeing his friends' expressions change from numb and lifeless at the beginning to lively and cheerful, he breathed a sigh of relief.

His efforts were not in vain.

"Speaking of which, Toshiro, you're really heartless! Haruhime told me that she still can't forget you even now~"

After eating and drinking their fill, they naturally began chatting. Asaka, who had just returned from the hospital in the rear, spoke with great pleasure.

"I never expected you to be so cruel, to treat a girl like this. You know, Chunyan was seen at her most vulnerable..."

Thanks to medical ninjutsu, Asaka's injuries were fully healed in just one week. However, while hospitalized in a rear hospital, she encountered Uchiha Haruhime, who was also recuperating there.

The two inevitably started chatting. From Chunyan's words, Zhaoxia also learned about her tragic experience and the culprit who caused it all, Toshiro.

"???"

Ruthless, clinging to the past, cruel, and pathetic.

These words, combined with the fact that it happened between a man and a woman, immediately caused everyone inside the tent to start imagining things, their ears perked up, and their inner gossip ignited.

I hope to hear some even more explosive news!

Seeing his friends' behavior, Toshiro sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation. These guys really couldn't be allowed to relax or be idle, otherwise they'd start thinking about all sorts of random things.

"Zhaoxia! Don't talk nonsense! Chunyan's condition was critical at the time, and I had no choice. Although the treatment methods were cruel and painful, they saved her life, didn't they?"

To avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings, Toshiro quickly explained that otherwise it wouldn't take a whole day.

I bet some random, nonsensical comments will start flying everywhere!

All this was because Toshiro's treatment of Haru was a bit too rough, leaving his friends quite disappointed.

At the same time, they all turned to look at Uchiha Asaka, hoping to hear some even more exciting news from her.

This satisfies their restless gossip-loving souls!

"That's true, but for a girl to be crying her eyes out in front of you... it's like she has absolutely no self-respect or dignity left!"

"Given the pain and psychological trauma you caused her, Chunyan will probably hold a grudge against you for the rest of her life!"

Hearing Toshiro's explanation, Asaka Uchiha had no intention of letting him off the hook. Instead, she continued.

At the same time, her expression became more playful, and her tone of voice became more ambiguous, making her friends all excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

Toshiro felt quite helpless about what Asaka Uchiha had said. At the time, Haruhi was on her deathbed, and although his treatment had successfully saved her life, the suffering it caused went far beyond simply making her weep.

The other person was in such a life-or-death situation that even their mental state was forcibly stimulated by drugs to remain conscious. Their bodily functions were on the verge of spiraling out of control, inevitably leading to some…

Uchiha Tetsuya, who was assisting on the side, and the other two members of his clan, probably because of the chaos, smoke, blood and sweat on the battlefield, did not notice anything unusual.

Toshiro, who had been treating Chunyan throughout the entire process, was fully aware of everything.

At the time, the other person was probably too much in pain to pay attention to anything. But after receiving treatment at a hospital in the rear and surviving the critical period, they regained consciousness.

Recalling everything that happened back then fills me with shame and indignation. I wish I had never undergone that treatment and had simply died.

This shattered her girlish heart into pieces!

I felt utterly hopeless!

At this moment, Uchiha Asaka appeared, and as a fellow patient, Asaka offered comfort, guidance, and patient persuasion.

In addition, Chunyan was depressed and physically weak at the time. She couldn't help but reveal the truth to Zhaoxia, making the other party aware of this embarrassing matter.

Uchiha Asaka, who had just been discharged from the hospital not long ago, brought up this matter at this moment to ridicule Toshiro.

This left him somewhat at a loss for what to do!

Although I was trying to help the other person, I ended up knowing some things I shouldn't have, and I still felt a little guilty.

"Compared to that, we haven't even congratulated Long Huo on successfully awakening his Sharingan yet!"

Faced with Asaka's relentless advance, Toshiro had no choice but to resort to a diversionary tactic. He brought out Uchiha Ryuka, who had only recently awakened his Sharingan, to distract everyone.

Although it's an old trick, it has to be admitted that it's still quite effective.

"Hmph! Coward!"

Uchiha Asaka was quite dissatisfied with this. She had prepared a lot of arguments, intending to sound out the other party's opinion.

However, seeing that her friends had already shifted their attention to Long Huo, she could only grumble in dissatisfaction.

Toshiro completely ignored this.

Zhaoxia brought up the matter and pressed him for details. He was somewhat aware of the deeper meaning behind it.

However, during this time of war, he simply had no interest in a life-or-death romance with a 12-year-old girl.

Regardless of the significant age gap between him and the other person, even ignoring that, in the current situation, no one knows whether they will still be alive tomorrow.

Getting too involved in this kind of thing is really putting the cart before the horse.

The most crucial point is that both he and the other person are only 12 years old. Even so… so what?

What else could happen?

Instead of wasting time and energy on that, it would be more practical to figure out how to improve one's strength so that one can survive the brutal Third Shinobi World War.

As for the rest~

Let's wait until he's a bit older...
