Chapter 07: Page 7

The two of them walked on the road, chatting as they walked, and unknowingly came to a fork.

The places where Senju and Uchiha live are completely in two directions.

"Then that's it, I'm going home first."

After a brief farewell, the two separated. Aokiji entered the Uchiha clan. A passing vendor smiled at him and said, "Hey, Aokiji, there is no air force for fishing today."

"Haha, I've bottomed out, haven't I?"

"Can you eat such a big fish by yourself? Do you want to sell it to me?"

"No, I want to serve this fish to the guests."

"guest?"

"Well, let's not talk anymore. I'm covered in mud and feel so uncomfortable. I need to take a shower first."

Not far away, through the curtains, two men could see Aokiji talking with the vendor.

"Elder Itachi, is it really okay to let Aoki go on like this?"

The middle-aged man who spoke had a solemn face, with two deep nasolabial wrinkles on his face.

This middle-aged man's name is Uchiha Raihuo, and he is an elite jounin of the Uchiha clan.

Opposite his desk was an old man with a handsome face and wrinkles. He was very old, but his eyes always had a sharp light.

Uchiha Itachi.

He is a ninja who has survived since the Warring States Period. He is the most virtuous and respected elder of the Uchiha family. He loves his family more than anyone else. Even though he has retired early now, he still cares about the cultivation of the family's descendants.

When Aokiji first met this elder, he really wanted to complain about his name, but when he remembered that Fugaku had named his youngest son after someone else's father, he suddenly understood.

It is somewhat similar to the naming custom on the other side of the ocean in the previous life. Taking this person's name means to be like this person.

Elder Itachi spoke calmly, "Let's observe him for a few years. If he still hasn't opened his Sharingan, then be prepared to give up. Didn't this kid express that he didn't want to be a ninja? Well, then we can grant his wish and let him live out his life in peace. Then, when I reach Hades, I'll have an explanation to Bluebird."

"What are you talking about, Elder Itachi? You're not very good yet."

"Even though my body hasn't died yet, my soul can no longer keep up with this era. Back then, that guy Madara teamed up with Hashirama Senju to create Konoha and ended the Warring States Period."

Elder Itachi shook his head and sighed, "Back then, I thought the world would usher in true peace, but I never thought it would end up like this..."

Uchiha Leihuo said in a deep voice: "I really didn't expect that Madara-sama would end in that way."

Elder Itachi narrowed his eyes slightly: "Do you think Madara is really dead?"

Uchiha Leihuo was surprised and said, "Could it be that Madara-sama is not dead? How is this possible? Madara-sama's body was personally confirmed by Tobirama and Hashirama, and weren't you there at the time?"

"It's true that I also thought Madara was dead at that time, but a very strange thing happened shortly after that. It caused me to change my attitude. You should know that Madara's body disappeared into thin air and turned into a shadow clone."

"Isn't that because the body was stolen?"

Madara's body is an incomparable treasure to anyone, especially those unparalleled eyes that make people jealous. If it weren't for Hashirama who didn't want his best friend to rest in peace after death, the Uchiha clan would have recovered the body long ago.

"You believe this kind of thing? I think this guy Madara might have used Izanagi."

"That forbidden technique? Impossible. If it was this technique, there's no way Hashirama wouldn't have discovered it with his ability."

"The Mangekyo Sharingan can be placed in the eyes with a time delay. Perhaps Madara calculated that his body would not be disposed of, and then activated the Izanagi in his hidden eyes to change the fact that he was dead, thus concealing the truth."

"This is really incredible..."

Uchiha Raikado gasped, "So what exactly is Mr. Ban's purpose? Now that Hashirama is dead, there shouldn't be anyone in this world who can stop him."

"I'm not sure. Madara left Konoha and then suddenly attacked it. Given his personality, he must have some ulterior motive. After all, he possesses eye powers that surpass those of all the other members of the tribe, allowing him to see things we can't. But because of this, he can sometimes be too arbitrary and dictatorial. After experiencing the beauty of peace, how could the tribe easily leave him and return to the uneasy days of the past?"

Elder Itachi shook his head and continued, "Perhaps Setsuna realized this, so he wanted to incite the Uchiha clan to rebel, hoping that Madara would appear and work together to seize power in Konoha. He didn't expect that brat Tobirama to react so quickly, and Madara never showed up."

Hearing this, Uchiha Leihuo sighed deeply: "This world is really not peaceful. I always feel that my next role as clan leader is a long and arduous journey."

"Of course, the above is just my personal speculation. It's also possible that Madara's body was stolen." Itachi glanced at him and said, "I heard that you became a grandfather recently, right?"

Uchiha Leihuo said ashamedly: "Yes, I am 36 years old and I only have one grandson. I am really a drag."

Being a ninja is a profession that involves living on the edge of a knife. During the Warring States Period, children had to go to the battlefield at the age of four or five, and the mortality rate was extremely high. In order to maintain the population, families adopted the strategy of having children early and frequently. Every year, the family would arrange blind dates, and a couple could be matched in as little as one day, and then they would actively give birth to offspring day and night.

So it is really not good enough for someone like Uchiha Raika to have only one grandson at his age. However, the times are a little different from the past after all. Wars are not as frequent as before, and everyone has some free time to fall in love, so the birth of children is naturally delayed.

"What's his name?" asked Elder Itachi.

"Fugaku." Uchiha Raikado replied.

"What a nice name! When he's a little older, let me teach him. While I can still dance, let's do one last dance. Although I don't like that brat Hashirama, he's right about one thing. Wherever the leaves dance, the fire will never die."

9. Chapter 9 Take Care of Your Girlfriend

Chapter 9: Take care of your girlfriend

After taking a bath, as soon as Qingzhi came out of the bathroom, he heard someone calling him outside the door.

Qingzhi opened the door, and there stood in front of him a familiar figure with blond hair, wearing a beige dress, and exuding a light soap fragrance.

Qingzhi said in surprise: "Why did you come to my house?"

"Didn't you treat me to dinner because you wanted to thank me for helping you catch the fish?"

Qing Pheasant almost forgot.

After the two caught fish, Aokiji planned to cook a hometown dish to reward Tsunade, which led to this scene.

"You know about my family?" Aokiji asked strangely. He remembered that he probably didn't tell Tsunade about his family.

"Just ask anyone and you will know." Tsunade said calmly: "I have been standing outside for so long, why don't you invite me in to sit down?"

Speaking of which, this was the first time she entered a boy's home of her own age, and she was quite interested in it all. However, after being invited into the house by Qing Zhi, she was disappointed. She looked at the messy room and frowned slightly: "Your room is really awesome." chaos."

Qing Zhi shuddered and said: "Boys' houses are like this, let alone the gold and silver dens where my dog's kennel is so comfortable."

"What kind of strange metaphor is this? If your room is so messy, won't your family scold you?"

Tsunade remembered that every time she threw her things around, she would be scolded by her mother. At that time, her grandfather would put in a good word for her.

Qingzhi was silent for a moment: "It's okay, I live alone."

Although he is just a guy occupying a magpie's nest, he has all the memories of the host, so he can empathize with some things.

live alone?

Tsunade noticed the photo frame placed by the bedside. The photo showed a middle-aged woman and a boy with a hearty smile.

It is not difficult to see from the boy's outline that it is the Qingzhi in front of him. After thinking about the meaning of what he said just now, he will come to some conclusions after thinking deeply: "Sorry, I didn't mean to..."

Qingzhi interrupted: "Hey, why are you showing such an expression? It will make you uncomfortable. I still like your usual unruly look, hehe..."

This smile was mean, and Tsunade punched in anger: "You deserve a beating."

Having said that, the fist was not very forceful.

Qing Pheasant ducked sideways and said jokingly: "You hit people at every turn, but you won't be able to get married in the future."

"Hmph. I won't marry you anyway."

Qingzhi spread his hands: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I'm going to cook. Let you have a taste of my craftsmanship."

If you want to capture a woman's heart, you must first capture her taste buds. Aokiji knows this well. Although he does not intend to pursue Tsunade in the short term, it is still necessary to maintain a certain degree of goodwill.

Aoki washed the rice, then put it into a container used for steaming rice, then added a certain amount of water to the container, closed the lid, and started steaming the rice.

After doing all this, he took out the fish, cut off the fish meat piece by piece, rinsed it several times to remove the blood, then put it into a large bowl, added starch, egg white, salt, chicken essence, cooking wine, and pepper Wait and knead until the fishy smell is removed and it becomes a paste.

After a set of operations, he was very skilled. Tsunade looked at it with interest: "I can't see that you are quite good at it. What are you going to do?"

"Sauerkraut fish, this is a special delicacy invented by me. After you eat it, your mouth will water."

Qing Pheasant shamelessly blamed himself for the invention of this dish, without blushing or beating his heart.

Tsunade didn't believe it: "Bragging."

She didn't believe how delicious a dish invented by a five-year-old kid could be.

"Just wait and see."

The fish meat was made into pulp and then marinated for at least ten minutes. During this time, Aokiji went to the vegetable market to buy some ingredients. Tsunade was bored at home, so she followed him.

The two walked side by side on the road.

"Eh? Aren't these Aokiji and Tsunade?"

A surprised voice came from behind, and Aokiji and Tsunade turned around in unison.

It was a boy with white hair, and beside him there was a boy with black hair.

The white one looks flirty and the black one looks very calm. It's hard to imagine the two of them getting together.

Seeing the two of them, Tsunade was surprised and said, "Jiraiya, Orochimaru, I didn't expect to see you together."

"I should be the one to say this, Aoji and Tsunade." Jiraiya alternated his gaze with the person coming, and seemed to have discovered something, but his brain was gone, and he said with a bad smile: "Could it be that... you two are here?" Let’s go on a date.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a Hao Yougen was thrown directly towards him. Jiraiya's smile instantly froze and he knelt down, clutching his stomach in pain.

"No one will think you are mute if you don't speak." Tsunade said coldly.

"Smelly bitch." Jiraiya said with a stubborn tongue.

"What did you say!"

Tsunade frowned angrily, grabbed Jiraiya by the collar, and raised it with one hand.

Jiraiya's pupils shrank and he said fearfully: "Aoji, take care of your girlfriend."

Aoki ignored Jiraiya's plea for help, turned to look at Orochimaru, and asked curiously: "Why are you two together?"

Orochimaru said helplessly: "I just happened to meet him on the road, and then this guy pestered me and wanted to compete with me with shurikens."

Aokiji nodded, indicating that he understood. "What about you?"

Orochimaru looked at Tsunade who was beating Jiraiya violently.

"Tsunade helped me catch a big fish. To thank her, I planned to cook a dish to reward her. Now the two of us are preparing to buy some cooking ingredients."

Orochimaru nodded in understanding.

But the question arises again, why did Aokiji and Tsunade come to fish together, and when did the relationship between the two become so good?

It's not like what Jiraiya said just now, the two of them are getting along...

Although he had doubts, Orochimaru was not interested in gossip in this area.

Compared with this, he is more interested in other aspects: "Qingzhi-kun, are you free tomorrow? I have some issues recently that I want to discuss with you."

The two formally met in the library. At first, Orochimaru didn't want to pay attention to Aokiji's proactive approach.

But after a few brief conversations later, Orochimaru discovered that Aokiji was a very interesting person who could often put forward refreshing viewpoints. Over time, the two of them became familiar with each other and often discussed some issues in private.

"no problem."

Qingzhi readily agreed.

Seeing the two of them chatting happily, Tsunade was surprised to loosen her hands holding Jiraiya's collar. Orochimaru, who had always been a loner, actually had close contacts with Aoji who slept all day long, and the two of them Among them, the blue pheasant is the dominant one.

"Are you familiar with Orochimaru?"

"It's okay." Qingzhi said calmly: "We often discuss some interesting issues."

"What kind of topic."

Tsunade was curious about what kind of topics a guy like Orochimaru would usually talk to Aokiji.

Qingzhi smiled slightly, stretched out his two hands, touched his five fingers, and bent them into a circle: "For example, the world we live in may be round."

ha?

Hearing this, Tsunade was completely confused.

What exactly is this talking about?

She understood every word, but Lian Qi had no idea what Qing Zhi was talking about.

Orochimaru silently watched Tsunade's reaction. At first, when he heard this sentence, he was no better than Tsunade and thought Aoji was talking nonsense. But he didn't expect Aoji to analyze it with reason and evidence afterwards. Orochimaru was immediately convinced. The impression that Qing Pheasant loves to sleep took a 180-degree turn, which shocked everyone.

"It's an interesting topic," Orochimaru said with a smile.

"You two study these things all day long?" Tsunade looked at the two of them strangely.
