Looks like I should thank Kushina.

"Where...where is the nebula?"

Kurenai Yuhi said, "After Nebula finished talking with the medical staff, she went out."

Sarutobi Asuma casually remarked, "He's probably out on a date with some girlfriend."

Kurenai glared at him immediately.

Sarutobi Asuma looked a little aggrieved: "Did I say something wrong again?"

He was really just guessing casually.

Kurenai continued, "By the way, teacher, how did you escape? I heard the scene was horrific."

Mikoto Uchiha's eyes were filled with confusion.

She fainted at the time and didn't know what was going on.

"What did Nebula say?"

"Nebula said he brought a lot of explosive tags, and used them all to blow up the barrier and escape."

"An explosive tag... I think I heard an explosion."

As they were talking, the door opened. A tall man walked into the room.

With a dignified, square face and wearing a ninja outfit with a fan pattern, he was none other than Fugaku Uchiha, the current head of the Uchiha clan.

"They're all here." A smile appeared on Fugaku Uchiha's square face.

"You guys are very thoughtful."

"Mikoto is very lucky to be the Jonin leading the team among you guys."

Praised by the Uchiha clan leader, Sarutobi Asuma was secretly pleased with himself.

"No, we caused Ms. Misaka a lot of trouble."

"If it weren't for Misaka-sensei back then..."

The voice was interrupted by a nurse who suddenly burst in: "The patient needs to rest; there shouldn't be so many people in the ward!"

"Alright, that's enough for now. You can go back now; your families must be worried," Fugaku Uchiha said with a smile.

"Okay, Ms. Misaka, we're off then."

Leaving Fugaku and his wife behind, the three of them left the ward.

Throughout the entire process, Uchiha Mikoto kept her eyes lowered.

Once only the two of them remained in the ward, Fugaku Uchiha's kind smile faded.

Mikoto Uchiha remained silent, looking utterly exhausted.

There was silence for a moment.

After a long pause, Fugaku Uchiha spoke up: "The medical team said there's nothing seriously wrong, just that his body was overworked and severely dehydrated."

"Ah."

"The one who left early was called Shenyue Nebula, right?"

"The child from the Shingetsu family who mastered the Palm Healing Technique before even graduating."

Mikoto Uchiha felt a tightness in her chest.

But then the other person continued.

"That child is very good."

With a heavy heart, Uchiha Mikoto looked at the other person with a puzzled expression.

Fugaku Uchiha said seriously, "Asuma said you were seriously injured before, but the medical team just said that apart from a lot of blood loss and dehydration, there are no other problems."

"If the injuries are real, then it's because a medical ninja used the Healing Palm Technique with all their might that you were able to hold on until now."

"Moreover, the treatment was very meticulous, leaving no external or internal injuries untreated. Even medical ninjas would find it difficult to do this in dangerous situations."

Mikoto Uchiha felt a little relieved.

However, seeing the serious expression on the other person's face, she felt a mix of emotions.

Seeing that she didn't respond, Fugaku Uchiha's expression became more serious.

"Mikoto, you need to pay more attention to this child from now on."

"The fact that this child risked his life to save you shows his character is commendable. Besides, he's quite talented."

"At this age, it is very rare to have mastered the Palm Immortal Technique to this extent."

"With him in the Shingetsu family, their future may not necessarily be worse than that of the Yuhi family."

"Even if it's just for the Uchiha, you have to take this seriously. You can't just focus on Kurenai and Asuma anymore; you also need to put your heart into Shingetsu Seiun."

Uchiha Mikoto: "...Okay, I understand."

Fugaku Uchiha was finally satisfied.

"That's good."

"Later, I will apply to the Hokage to try to get more Jonin from the clan to become team-leading Jonin."

"Strengthen ties with the various families in the village."

"If things develop properly, the Uchiha clan's situation in the village might improve in the near future."

As he spoke, anticipation and ambition gleamed in Fugaku Uchiha's eyes.

"In that case, the internal conflicts within the clan would not be as difficult to resolve as they are now."

"Even... it's not impossible to win the Hokage position."

Chapter 66 Nohara Rin: Something's Happened at Home

As Mikoto Uchiha watched Fugaku Uchiha lost in his own thoughts, her gaze gradually turned cold.

My husband has always been like this.

All I could think about was my family, my family, and my family.

Every day is spent either weighing the pros and cons or having meetings at the Nanga Shrine.

Seeing that Mikoto Uchiha remained silent, Fugaku Uchiha did not continue speaking. Considering that she had just been injured, he comforted her, "You should rest well first."

"I'm going to the Nanka Shrine to hold a clan meeting."

"Ah."

The door slammed shut, and silence returned to the ward...

On the other side, not far from the ward, when Kurenai Yuhi reached the corner, she suddenly stopped.

Just as Sarutobi Asuma was about to ask what was wrong, Yuhi Kurenai suddenly turned around and looked at Sarutobi Asuma with displeasure.

"Wha...what's wrong? Red?"

Kurenai Yuhi huffed and puffed out, "Asuma!"

Do you still have a problem with Nebula?

"No?" Sarutobi Asuma looked completely bewildered. Since the attack on this mission, his opinion of Shingetsu Nebula had changed considerably.

The opponent is very strong, at least stronger than him. Even if he's self-centered, he can't continue to be hostile towards someone stronger than himself who is willing to sacrifice himself to help his teammates in crucial moments.

Kurenai Yuhi asked, "Then why did you say those things about Nebula in front of Misaka-sensei just now?"

Sarutobi Asuma felt extremely wronged.

In all honesty, he truly had no intention of slandering the other party.

It was purely a subconscious feeling that the other person had gone on a date with their girlfriend.

I heard this guy has so many girlfriends he can't even count them on two hands. When he comes back from a mission, his schedule is always packed.

Seeing that Kurenai was still angry, he could only say, "I was wrong."

"I admit I was wrong, okay?"

Kurenai Yuhi: "What did you do wrong?"

Sarutobi Asuma: "Hmm... From now on, I will never talk about him behind his back again."

“That’s more like it.” After saying that, Kurenai Yuhi turned and left, with Asuma Sarutobi hurriedly following.

……

Shenyue Xingyun is busy dating his girlfriend.

He returned to Konoha in the evening, and that very night, some of his girlfriends, who knew he was back, couldn't wait to visit him. After he said he was exhausted and needed rest, they reluctantly left after agreeing to meet the next day.

Early in the morning, he left the ward and began to deal with the dating tasks that had piled up during the mission.

Three in the morning, four in the afternoon, and two more in the evening... No, if we include Nohara Rin, there are three in the evening.

Very busy.

Those who were supposed to attend class planned to skip, those who were graduating needed to ask their captain for leave, and those who hadn't finished their work might have to wait until tomorrow to work overtime. His trip back significantly impacted attendance at the ninja academy and the progress of completing low-level missions in the village.

We went for a spring outing outside Konoha Village, caught loaches in the Naga River, and had lunch at a newly opened restaurant.

After lunch, when Shingetsu Seiun was heading to the back mountain for the fourth event, he ran into Nohara Rin's team.

Upon seeing the Shingetsu Nebula, Nohara Rin's eyes lit up. She waved from afar, then turned and said something to Uchiha Obito and Hatake Kakashi beside her. Under Uchiha Obito's displeased gaze, she ran over.

"You're back!" Nohara Rin ran up to him with a beaming smile.

"Yes." Shenyue Xingyun nodded: "You're on a mission?"

“Yes,” Nohara Rin said with a smile, “Mrs. Kawashima’s cat is missing again, so we came out to look for it.”

Shingetsu Seiun asked, "Does Kakashi also do this kind of mission with you guys?"

This is not just a waste of talent, it's a clear waste of human resources.

Nohara Rin casually replied, "It was Minato-sensei's request."
