Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 340 Chie

After returning to Konoha, Toshiro handed over the intelligence ninjas from the Anbu to the Third Hokage and then stopped interfering in the village's affairs.

Compared to these, studying White Zetsu was more of an interest to him.

Time flies, and before we knew it, it was winter of Konoha year 51.

A Japanese-style building stands quietly on the snow-covered land, as if it were the only living thing in this silent snowy region. Under the eaves, crystal-clear icicles hang, like strings of frozen raindrops, reflecting the winter sunset.

In winter, the bathroom is filled with swirling steam, resembling a hazy ink painting. Warm water flows from the faucet, splashing onto the tiles and instantly turning into wisps of white mist. Steam condenses into fine beads on the mirror, gently sliding down and leaving streaks of water, as if telling the story of the bathroom.

Through the white mist, two white figures were bathed in this warm and moist space.

It seemed like a long time had passed when, in a large bathtub that occupied almost half of the bathroom, two figures were quietly embracing each other.

After a long time, a fair arm slowly stretched out, explored for a moment, found its target, and began to act according to its own will.

"How about some too!"

Taking the sake cup offered to his lips, Toshiro tilted his head back and drank the sake in one gulp. Seemingly wanting more, he gestured to the figure in his arms, who quickly poured him another cup.

Holding the wine cup handed to him by the other person, Toshiro didn't rush to drink it, but instead looked at the other person.

"Hmm~"

Hearing the other person's soft moan, Toshiro downed the sake in his cup in one gulp, then lowered his head and kissed her soft red lips.

After another long period of tender entanglement, Toshiro seemed to feel that the indoor temperature was a bit too high, so he dispelled all the fog that was obstructing his vision.

Looking at Uchiha Chie, who was half-submerged in the bath, Toshiro couldn't help but sigh that this woman and Pakura were truly different in their own way.

One is a gentle and delicate young lady, the other is heroic and beautiful.

Not long after he returned to Konoha, he subdued Uchiha Chie, who did not put up much resistance and was unusually compliant.

It's unclear whether it was because Meixiang's words had an effect, or because the elders in the family made some promise to her, or perhaps because she herself actually needed a man to rely on.

After all, it's not something an ordinary woman can endure raising a young child alone.

As for the relationship between Toshiro and her, it was less about love and more about mutual need.

As the fog dissipated, the other party did not show any panic. Instead, he stood up gracefully, took out a cigarette from a box next to him, lit it, and placed it to Toshiro's lips.

hiss!

He slowly exhaled the smoke from his lungs, then pulled Uchiha Chie, who had sat down next to him again, into his arms, feeling the fullness of her body.

Toshiro couldn't help but sigh that cigarettes, alcohol, and women were indeed the best neutralizers for a man's tense nerves.

He could clearly feel that his mental energy, which had been restless since he activated the Kaleidoscope, seemed to have calmed down in recent days.

Of course, he still reacts strongly to extreme excitement or sadness, but it no longer bothers him in daily life.

He didn't know whether it was the power of time, the White Zetsu eye drops, or the cigarettes and alcohol next to the woman in his arms, or the effects of his usual meditation.

After Toshiro finished his cigarette, he and Chie Uchiha drank the half-pound bottle of sake together. Then they both got up and began to clean themselves.

Are you going back today?

Looking at Uchiha Chie, who was already dressed, Toshiro frowned and asked with some displeasure.

"Yes! I can't leave Mai home alone, she'll be scared~"

Seemingly to express her apology, Uchiha Chie stood on tiptoe and gave Toshiro a wet kiss as a consolation.

"I told you, you can move in here. No one in the tribe will gossip about it behind your back!"

"Even if it's Mai, I will raise her like my own daughter!"

Although Uchiha Chie had a relationship with him more than a year ago, she refused to move into his house. Every time she was intimate with him, she would go back to her own house to take care of the children.

Toshiro tried to persuade him several times, but to no avail.

"No!"

Chie Uchiha knew that although she had a relationship with Toshiro, he did not belong to her.

Seeing that the other party persisted, Toshiro didn't have any good ideas.

It wasn't that Uchiha Toshiro was denying it, but rather that some things simply couldn't be done just because you were strong.

For example, in this matter, Uchiha Chie refused. He had tried contacting the elders of the clan, hoping to use them as a starting point, but the result…

These elders gave him a full taste of the Uchiha clan's stubbornness; no matter how much he tried to persuade them, they wouldn't help him.

They even said that he's now a prominent figure in the Uchiha clan and can't marry a married woman, as it would tarnish the Uchiha's reputation.

He was puzzled; what kind of reputation did his clan have in Konoha?

It's good enough if everyone doesn't hate them.

What's even more outrageous is that these people also prepared a large stack of photos and told him one by one how gentle, considerate, virtuous, and kind these women were.

Let him choose one of them to marry as soon as possible!

This rendered Toshiro, a Kage-level powerhouse who dared to confront the Nine-Tails' rampage, utterly helpless.

With the arrival of peace, all the women of marriageable age in the family got married one by one, and the old folks had no choice but to introduce him to girls who were only twelve or thirteen years old.

Some of them were even sixth-grade students at the Ninja Academy.

There was a reason why Toshiro was so impressed that those young ninjas were so hopelessly addicted to dating games.

"Wait a minute! Please wait in the living room for a moment, I'll be right there!"

Seeing the puzzled look on Chie's face, Toshiro explained further:

"I have something for you!"

Since the other party has followed him, as a man, he still has to give some explanation.
