Konoha: This Uchiha is going a bit too far.

Chapter 65 News

"Haori, Hikari, over here!"

In Konoha, at the entrance of a barbecue restaurant, Rin waved to Haori and Hikaru who were walking towards her.

Upon seeing Lin, the two quickly walked over.

Autumn had arrived in the ninja world, and the weather was gradually turning cold, but this meant little to the ninjas.

However, having barbecue in the fall is indeed a good choice, especially for gatherings with a relatively small number of people.

"Lin, thank you for waiting for us here."

As Lin entered the shop, Yuzhi smiled and said from behind.

"It's nothing. It's a bit hot sitting inside anyway, so it's nice to come out and stretch my legs."

Lin smiled indifferently, but her gaze subtly swept over Guang.

"Come on, Asuma's treating, now we're just waiting for you guys."

With that, Lin smiled and led the two of them into the private room, which was already full of people.

Looking around, everyone present was a familiar face, including Kakashi, Guy, Aoba, and Kurenai from the same year.

Those who are one or two years younger than them, but are still of the same age, such as Hongdou and Iruka, are also here.

"Haori, you've come!"

"Hello, Hagoromo-senpai."

When Haori and Hikaru entered, the people in the private room were exceptionally friendly, though there were some differences among them.

Guy, Kakashi, and Aoba were classmates, and some of them had even participated in missions together, so they seemed much more relaxed.

The younger students, such as Iruka and Gekko Hayate, seemed a little reserved after meeting Haori.

After all, Yuki was a war hero, and with Konoha's propaganda and the ninjas returning from the front lines praising him, his reputation grew.

It's perfectly understandable that some of his younger colleagues would show him both reverence and restraint when they met him.

"Sorry everyone, I'm late."

However, Yuzhi remained very polite and did not feel like she was on top of the world after being praised so much.

"Alright, you two, please take your seats."

Asuma, as the host, immediately spoke up, but he glanced at Kurenai sitting next to Anko and then at Hikari next to Haori.

He was particularly jealous when he noticed that Rin seemed to be looking at Yuzhi. Was it really because he was good-looking that he was popular?

"Haori, I heard you're getting engaged, yet you're still so popular."

"This isn't my fault, is it?"

Asuma's words made Haori pause for a moment, and then he could only shrug to indicate that he didn't know either.

Perhaps it was because he had reached a certain age, but Uchiha Setsuna did mention this to Hagoromo.

However, Yuri herself did not make any statement, because there was no need to do so.

As Haori and Hikari took their seats, everyone who had been waiting for a long time immediately began to get to work.

Moreover, since everyone was almost a classmate, they were closer to each other, and any initial awkwardness quickly dissipated in the lively atmosphere.

"Come on, try this grilled meat."

While chatting with Guy, Kakashi, and the others, Yuzhi was also grilling the food.

After it was cooked, he placed a piece of roast meat on the plate.

"Thanks."

Guang nodded politely, but pursed her lips as she looked at the piece of grilled meat.

Although she has obtained the identity of Uchiha Hotaru, she still lives with Haori.

After all, Yuzhi's home was the first place that made her feel at ease after she left the seal, and she didn't want to leave it.

As for Uchiha Hotaru's house, she learned the Shadow Clone Technique from Haori, which made it easy to deal with.

Therefore, she knew how bad Yuori's cooking skills were, and she seriously suspected that Yuori was doing it on purpose.

"You two have a really good relationship. Maybe you'll get engaged in the future."

Asuma also wanted to try to curry favor with Red, but then he glanced at where Red was sitting.

He glanced at Red Bean, who was likely to eat the grilled meat, and could only shake his head sullenly before chatting with Yuzhi.

"Who knows?"

Haori shrugged, then gave Asuma a mischievous grin.

"Anyway, it's a family arrangement, so I can't really say anything. You should do your best, though. Or maybe you should ask your Hokage father for help?"

"cut."

Asuma immediately rolled his eyes upon hearing this.

"Why would I need that old man's help? Besides, he's too busy to handle everything himself."

"Is this related to the Fourth Hokage?"

Kakashi, sitting to the side, asked a question with considerable curiosity, and Haori looked at him in return.

During this time, Yuzhi has been studying.

Both Fugaku Uchiha and Setsuna Uchiha sent him a lot of information, so he paid little attention to outside affairs.

"That's right, it's about the Fourth Hokage."

Asuma nodded, then glanced at Anko before whispering mysteriously.

"You've probably heard some rumors about Lord Orochimaru, haven't you? The old man's been really worried about it lately."

Yuzhi's eyes lit up slightly when he heard this; he had been waiting for this all along!

"Probably not?" Kakashi thought for a moment and said in a low voice.

"I think so too." After thinking for a moment, Yuri replied, "The Anbu should investigate this kind of thing."

"Yes, but that guy brought a whole bunch of people out of the village." Asma shrugged. "Anyway, who knows until we find out?"

At this point, Asma said no more.

Although he had seen a lot of things because of his father, he was very unhappy with his father.

But he wouldn't be foolish enough to reveal everything. Rumors about Orochimaru had already started circulating in the village, so it wouldn't be a big deal for him to say something.

The speaker meant no harm, but the listener took it to heart.

The news that someone had led members of the Anbu away from Konoha made Yuuki realize that it was probably Danzo!

"Is the show about to begin?"

Yuzhi murmured to himself, "I've been waiting for this opportunity all along."

"Is everything ready?"

In a forest in the Uchiha's backyard, Uchiha Hachimoku looked at the group of men in black in front of him and asked in a low voice.

Following Uchiha Setsuna's wishes, the Eighth Hokage had always wanted to find an opportunity to test the quality of his haori.

At the same time, there was another thing that concerned him, namely, what exactly was the relationship between Uchiha Hotaru and Hagoromo.

"Since we're going to give it a try, let's give it a try too. Elder Cha Na seems to be planning to get that brat engaged as well, so I'll add fuel to the fire!"

He could guess some of Elder Setsuna's thoughts. After all, which Uchiha who could achieve great things hadn't lost a friend, a wife, or a brother?

Finding out the relationship between Hagoromo and Uchiha Hotaru would definitely make it easier for Uchiha Setsuna to do something.

The investigation into Uchiha Hotaru yielded absolutely no results—because that woman was just too boring.

He spends his days with Yuzhi and goes back to rest at night. At most, he goes with Yuzhi to hang out with those outsiders.

Such a person was impossible for him to find out anything about, and Uchiha Setsuna also prevented him from getting too close to Hagoromo's residence, so he never had much of a chance.

Moreover, since Yuzhi has made such a great name for himself on the battlefield, he also has to be careful.

But now he seems to see an opportunity, and today is definitely a good time to make a move!

"Lord Yashiro, everything is ready."

A ninja dressed in black spoke in a low voice in front of him.

"very good."

Uchiha Hachimoku nodded, his gaze shifting slightly; he had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

He was aware of some minor issues between Hagoromo and Setsuna Uchiha, but he didn't think Elder Setsuna had any problems at all.

Serving the honor of the clan is what every Uchiha should do, and being valued by Elder Setsuna is something to be proud of.

However, Yuzhi seemed dissatisfied and was now bargaining, especially since this guy was so close to someone outside the clan, which he could not tolerate.

This time, he's going to teach this brat a lesson!

"Proceed according to the original plan. You attack Uchiha Hotaru, as for that brat Hagoromo..."

"I'll handle this myself!"

"Yes, Lord Yashiro!"
