Kei Uchiha doesn't know when Sandaime Hokage will make his move.
But he knows that some of the arrangements he needs to make have already been done.
Regardless of whether Uchiha Shisui is fully trusted or not, Kei Uchiha now has two more cards in his hands, which can play a greater role.
With such preparation, he can even learn about all aspects of Sandaime Hokage.
For example, some of Sandaime's daily life in the Root, if he is lucky, he can even know what orders he gave and what he plans to do.
But these things still need time to settle, not only to further gain Sandaime Hokage's trust, but also to do something against Sandaime Hokage.
The things about Sandaime Hokage need time to settle, but the things about the war have already made them feel it thoroughly.
Although Wood Leaf has made a decision to let the members of the Department of Security act as Shadow Ninjas to assist and protect the safety of the mission personnel.
But the actions of Kumo Village are really a lot faster than they thought.
The ninjas who were carrying out the mission were directly attacked by the Kumo Shinobu without knowing it.
Only a few ninjas reacted and escaped, thus saving their lives.
This incident has a great impact on Wood Leaf.
Not to mention the ninjas lost because of this incident, just the success rate and trust of Wood Leaf in this area have been greatly questioned because of this incident.
Fortunately, Wood Leaf has already prepared a plan to deal with these things.
Therefore, the next mission has been completely completed. The skirmish between Wood Leaf and Kumo Village in this area has been completed.
Such a conflict is naturally seen by the people of all countries.
However, they are all waiting for Kumo Village and Wood Leaf to make a statement.
Unfortunately, neither of these two villages seems to have any intention to make a statement.
It's as if they don't know that this incident has happened, or they are silently preparing for something.
For such a move, all the shinobi villages were a little surprised, but they didn't dare to do anything.
After all, such a conflict between these two great shinobi villages is a good thing for them on many levels.
Everyone wants to become the strongest existence in the Shinobi World.
Now that the two strongest shinobi villages on the surface are fighting against each other, if they don't seize this opportunity to recover, they will suffer heavy losses due to the two consecutive shinobi wars.
If that was the case, then their movies were just too substandard.
With such a tone, Konoha and Kumo are really going all out in fighting each other.
Over the past few months, both sides had lost a lot of manpower.
In the beginning, Cloud Village had a lot of advantages, after all, the ninjas who went out didn't get any similar information.
In addition, without the protection of the Ninjas, Wood Leaf suffered a lot of losses.
However, Wood Leaf's reaction speed was completely beyond the Kumo Shinobu's imagination. When they continued to sneak attack with confidence, they were shocked to find that Wood Leaf's reinforcements were incredibly fast.
This made them immediately realize that Wood Leaf's ninjas might have someone behind them, so they also began to send more people.
Admittedly, the people sent by Wood Leaf are all carefully selected, and they are all elite teams with Kekkei Genkai.
But Cloud Village's side has also prepared for a long time, so the result of such a competition can only be regarded as 60-40, with Wood Leaf having a slight advantage.
Of course, Wood Leaf's losses are basically those ninjas who are doing the task.
Kumo Shinobu's approach is to directly sneak attack and kill the people who are doing the task, and even actively avoid fighting with the reinforcements of Wood Leaf.
But once the reinforcements of Wood Leaf arrive, then Kumo Shinobu's team will probably be destroyed.
Such a loss is completely beyond the expectations of Raikage and Po Shui Mun, but neither of them took the initiative to negotiate.
One is because he has other preparations and is just silently waiting for the time to come.
And the other is completely waiting for the expansion of the situation, so that he can promote the internal reform of Wood Leaf.
Time unknowingly came to July, it's probably the end of summer, leaving the gorgeous summer flowers and entering the quiet beauty of autumn leaves.
At this time, Wood Leaf no longer has the enthusiasm and brilliance of summer, it's more quiet and restrained.
However, July is also a relatively special season, that is, the woman Aya Hyuga is about to turn 17 years old.
Now that the conflict in Wood Leaf is very serious, Kei Uchiha was too lazy to pay attention to these things, after all, he also lost some people this time.
However, what he didn't expect was that on the morning of July 7th, when Kei Uchiha was preparing to go to the Department of Security.
He was surprised to find a woman standing outside his house with a tangled face.
This made Kei Uchiha feel a little surprised, but also a little funny.
But he didn't really laugh, otherwise, the already awkward scene will probably become even more awkward.
What's more interesting is that the people around them seem to have noticed the situation between the two of them, they stopped one by one and took a detour to leave.
"I say, do you have to make that expression?" Kei Uchiha sighed, then he revealed a smile and walked in front of Aya Hyuga, "Speaking of which, this is the first time you came to my house."
"Do you think I want to come?" Aya Hyuga sighed, "But there's no other way, do you know, Hyuga Hizen actually came to my house last night and asked me how I plan to spend tomorrow."
"Is that so?" Kei Uchiha tilted his head, "Then let me guess, he might have rejected your original idea, then asked you to come to me, and his decision was completely agreed by your family, right?"
"Yes, that's why I came." Aya Hyuga sighed, "It's really a headache, why does this kind of thing happen to me."
Kei Uchiha glanced at Aya Hyuga, this woman's words are full of disdain.
But in fact, if she really didn't want to come, I'm afraid it's not a big deal for her to just enter the laboratory for a day.
If Hizen Hyuga really asked, would he betray Aya Hyuga?
But since she came, it means that her heart is actually not that resistant.
For some reason, a phrase suddenly appeared in Kei Uchiha's mind, it seems to be called 'disdainful of the mouth but straight of the body'?
However, no matter what, since she is here, there is naturally no need for Kei Uchiha to go to the Department of Security.
Since April, the confrontation between Wood Leaf and Kumo Shinobu has been ongoing, and Kei Uchiha didn't have a chance to slack off during this time.
After all, there are too many things to do, and he can't do anything about it.
Especially since this matter is related to his Department of Security, he has to deal with these things seriously.
Whether it is recording merits or paying compensation for the casualties.
"Whether you are willing or not, you are here anyway, and it just so happens that I haven't been feeling very comfortable lately." Uchiha Keiji sighed slightly, "In that case, let's relax for today."
"Still having a headache because of those casualties?" Aya Hyuga's voice also became a little low, "Speaking of which, it is really the first time I see you show such an expression for the casualties."
"In fact, I have long been used to seeing life and death, but standing from a different point of view, the perception and the way to deal with it are also very different."
Kei Uchiha shook his head, he still looked so calm.
"It's just a little emotional. In the past, I was assigned to the battlefield by others, so I didn't feel too much, and I can directly see the death of my own people and enemies. Now, I am the one who assigned them to the battlefield, making them pay something, this feeling is really wonderful."
"At least we don't need to face life and death directly." Aya Hyuga nodded slightly, "Let's go, it doesn't seem good to stand in front of your house, and your family …"
Family?
Kei Uchiha was stunned for a moment, then he turned around.
He didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he saw Ryoko and Keisuke looking at them from the window.
After the two of them were discovered, they didn't seem worried at all.
Ryoko even raised her fist and gave Kei Uchiha a thumbs up.
Shaking his head helplessly, Kei Uchiha led Aya Hyuga out of the Uchiha Clan's territory. However, along the way, it seemed that there were quite a few people secretly watching them.
Kei Uchiha was already used to this kind of thing, so it didn't bring him much trouble.
Hyuga Aya was almost the same. Both of them had experienced even bigger crowds of onlookers, so this was nothing to her.
It didn't take long for the two of them to leave the clan's territory and walk towards the main street.
Maybe because they came out a bit early, there weren't many people on the street.
Or maybe because of the confrontation between Wood Leaf and Cloud Village, everyone's mood was relatively low, so naturally, they didn't have the mood to wander outside.
"It looks a bit cold." Kei Uchiha looked around and couldn't help but shake his head, "I don't know if it's because I haven't come out for a long time, but the changes are really big now."
"This situation has been going on for a month or two." After Aya Hyuga looked around, she slowly said, "Especially after Wood Leaf officially announced a few weeks ago that it will start the armaments management, it has become even colder now. Of course, this kind of thing probably has nothing to do with Kai Jun. "
"Probably, but some things are really hard to say." Kei Uchiha smiled slightly, "After all, after so long of preparation, there might be a lot of changes."
As early as a few months ago, Kei Uchiha had already sent people to spread some interesting rumors.
To what extent these rumors have fermented, Kei Uchiha can't guarantee.
However, according to the information provided by the Department of Security's personnel in Wood Leaf, it seems that the degree of spread and recognition of these rumors is very high.
After all, everyone likes to talk about the strong, and a special guy like Kei Uchiha is even more popular.
Of course, the specific effect and degree of change will depend on the feedback at the end of the year.
"However, it won't be long, it's just 4 months." Uchiha Keiji shook his head slightly, then looked at Hyuga Rin and said, "Let's go, let's go eat something?"
"Whatever, we have the whole day today." Aya Hyuga nodded, then sighed and said. "Damn, it's really embarrassing to spend the whole day with you."
"Is it embarrassing to be with me? I'm really sorry, but aren't you going to be exposed to everyone with me? "
"Really annoying, what are we going to eat?"
"What do you think of … ramen?"
…
Uchiha Keiji really hasn't tried Ichi-Le Ramen until now, but he still hasn't tried it.
Although he heard a joke a long time ago, that is, the owner of Yile Ramen Shop is actually Otsutsuki Yile.
After all, those with squinting eyes are all monsters, and this uncle Yile has never had any problems from beginning to end. His shop has never had any problems from beginning to end.
It seems that even if Nagato attacked Wood Leaf and the entire Wood Leaf was flattened, there was no problem with his shop.
Of course, it doesn't rule out that he recovered the fastest.
However, Uchiha Keiji was a little interested in Uchiha Ichijō due to the various rumors that he heard.
It's just that his interest is limited to the jokes of the former 'Otsutsuki Yile.'
And he has read the dossier of this Yile, he is just an ordinary person.
After understanding these things, Kei Uchiha lost interest and naturally won't disturb him.
This time, it was Kei Uchiha's first visit to this shop.
At this time, the shop seemed to have just opened, but Shohei and Chang Pu, who was only four or five years old, were already busy.
The arrival of Kei Uchiha and Aya Hyuga really surprised them.
Although these two have never been here before, there are probably not many people in the entire Wood Leaf who don't know their names and images.
Therefore, the two of them were warmly welcomed by Shohei, who promised to add ingredients for them.
"Don't say, this ramen tastes good."
It didn't take long for Shohei to finish making the ramen. Kei Uchiha took a small bite and said in surprise.
The taste was indeed good, although Kei Uchiha didn't have many thoughts about eating.
He had even eaten raw meat on the battlefield, so there wasn't much difference between good and bad.
The most important thing was to give him stamina, so he could recover Chakra, and continue fighting. These were the most important things.
Even now, war was a little distant from him, but he still hadn't completely corrected this aspect.
But today, he realized that the ramen tasted good.
And Kei Uchiha specially took a look at the price list. It was very approachable.
He seemed to understand why Uzumaki Naruto liked this shop so much in the original work.
Because this was probably the only thing he could afford and eat until he was full.
Of course, there was another important reason.
That was because he was respected here, so he could feel like a 'person', right?
"The taste is really good." Aya Hyuga also nodded. "It's a little surprising, no wonder I heard that the business here has always been good."
"I think this is what he deserves." Uchiha Ki smiled and looked at the Jutsu Jutsu.
At this time, Shohei, who was still considered a young man, had sensibly walked out of the shop, leaving time and space for the two of them.
Maybe it was because in his opinion, they were a couple, and he didn't want to disturb them.
Or maybe it was because the two of them might talk about something beyond his imagination, and it didn't seem right to stay and listen.
But no matter what, as a skilled and intelligent ramen shop owner, it didn't seem too surprising that he could succeed.
"Say something, I've prepared a gift for you." Kei Uchiha suddenly said, "Although it's a little rushed, I think you will like this gift."
"Present?" Kuroto was taken aback for a moment. "You prepared a present? No, according to your character, you wouldn't prepare a gift. Maybe it's something suitable for me? "
Kei Uchiha's gifts have always been very purposeful or accidental.
As far as she could remember, Uchiha Ki had sent her off twice …
For the time being, it could be regarded as a gift.
The first time was the certificate of a Jonin, and the second was a Byakugan from the clan.
What would it be this time?
Aya Hyuga glanced at Kei Uchiha. Anyway, she felt that her birthday gift was something she got.
It was probably something useful to her, but Kei Uchiha would inevitably give it to her.
"Well, take it." Kei Uchiha took out a scroll. "This scroll contains the original information I promised you, and the information I sorted out about your eyes. I think you will like it."
"Then I really have to thank you." Seeing this, Hikari's expression became a little inexplicable, but she still accepted the scroll handed over by Uchiha Keiji, "It's a good gift."
"Really?" Kei Uchiha didn't care and took a bite of noodles. Then he suddenly said, "Actually, whether you are in Sage Mode or now, I think I quite like it."
"Huh?" Aya Hyuga was cold, and then her expression changed. "What nonsense are you talking about!"
At this moment, Hyuga Aya felt that something was wrong with the situation. Did Uchiha Kei go crazy?
Wasn't that a little too ambiguous?
What was this?
She won't forget the words that Uchiha Keiji said when she was in Sage Mode, but she didn't forget them.
And those words made her inexplicably angry for a period of time.
During that period of time, she didn't even pay attention to Kei Uchiha.
If it wasn't for Hyuga's dangerous test, the situation would have continued for a while.
But what did Kei Uchiha mean by saying such words?
Even if Aya Hyuga was calm, she would still be surprised to hear such a strange topic.
Did this guy like both the current me and Immortal Mode?
What exactly was this' like '? This gave Aya Hyuga a headache.
She admitted that her relationship with Kei Uchiha had become a little strange, but no matter how strange it was, it was not as straightforward as it was now.
"It's not nonsense." Kei Uchiha tilted his head. "After all, you are still you. Whether it is Sage Mode or your current appearance, you are quite good. Huh? What kind of expression is that? "
This time, it was Kei Uchiha's turn to be puzzled. He noticed that Aya Hyuga's expression had become somewhat strange.
Keiko Uchiha would never forget that he had praised Aya Hyuga's temperament when she was in Sage Mode. As a result, this woman was angry for a long time.
He had to admit, that temperament made his heart palpitate.
However, he also reflected on some things. No matter what mode she was in, Aya Hyuga would always be Aya Hyuga. No matter what temperament she had, she would always be her.
However, did he have some kind of misunderstanding with his expression?
"Shut up! You idiot! " Aya Hyuga glared at him. "This kind of strange words … this kind of strange words …"
"All right, all right, I will speak less in the future." Kei Uchiha shrugged helplessly. However, after pondering for a moment, he did not forget to emphasize. "Try your best."
"You really are a bastard …" Aya Hyuga calmed herself down and shook her head. "Do whatever you want. Your mouth is on you. Do you think I can stop you?"
After saying that, Aya Hyuga lowered her head and began eating her noodles. As for Kei Uchiha, he was in a daze.
Now he seemed to realize what kind of nonsense he had said. Was this considered a big misunderstanding?
He glanced at the woman beside him and tilted his head. He felt that it was better for him not to explain anymore.
If he continued to explain this matter, it would seem a little silly.
For a moment, the atmosphere between the two of them became somewhat awkward.
However, at that moment, someone suddenly walked in. His appearance broke the silence.
"Kai? Ling? "
Po Shui Mun looked at the two people sitting in the noodle restaurant with some surprise. There was a little guy with golden hair riding on his neck.
"I didn't expect you to come here to eat ramen."
"Hokage-sama." Kei Uchiha and Aya Hyuga heard the voice and immediately stood up.
"Okay, okay, really, this is not the office." Po Shui Mun smiled and shook his head. Then he hugged the little guy who had been riding on his neck. "Naruto, say hello to Uncle Kai and Auntie Ling."
Naruto looked at Kei Uchiha and Aya Hyuga with some doubts. He only felt that the black-haired man in front of him was more familiar.
However, he had no memory of the woman with white eyes.
However, he still smiled, looking very cute and sunny.
This little guy was still young. He would be two years old in a few months.
Now he looked full of vitality, and with the love of his parents in this life, he had gone on a completely different path.
"Good, Naruto." Kei Uchiha gently touched the little guy's head, but for some reason, the little guy seemed a little scared.
Maybe children are sensitive, he can feel things that adults can't.
Uchiha Kei's aura is even more frightening to him than Uchiha Kei.
Kei Uchiha didn't care. After rubbing Naruto's head a few times, he asked curiously. "Captain Shui Mun, where is Kushina? Didn't she come out with you? "
"She is doing rehabilitation exercises." Po Shui Mun sighed slightly. "Kushina is worried that this time Kumo will exclude Zhuli, so … although I said not to worry, she seems to be very restless."
"I heard that she was kidnapped by Kumo when she was a child, and it was you who saved her. I'm afraid she doesn't like Kumo very much."
Uchiha Ki smiled calmly, "Besides, I don't think there is any need to worry about her, and she won't be dispatched."
"Of course, I believe in you and Fugaku-kun." Po Shui Mun smiled at this moment. "You are all good at dealing with this kind of existence. Also, I am very grateful to you and your subordinates from the Department of Security for this mission, if it wasn't for them …"
Although Po Shui Mun said that he didn't want to talk about work, he seemed to be unable to restrain himself at this moment.
After all, the impact of this matter is too big. Of course, he doesn't care about the war. How can he not know things that others don't know?
In Wood Leaf, there are two super 'monsters'. With them, how can he worry about Kumo Shinobu?
It's just that this matter can't be exposed for the time being, and now both sides are involved.
Many ninjas died in the early stage of the preparation work, which made him a little sad.
But he really needs this large-scale conflict to achieve his dream, to complete some of the reforms that Kei Uchiha once said, so he can only wait silently.
In fact, he didn't care about Kumo from the beginning …
