Hikari's seventeenth birthday wasn't exactly thrilling, but it definitely wasn't uneventful either.
God knows why Po Shui Mun remembered Aya Hyuga's birthday.
Probably because Kei Uchiha and this partner personally handled the Jonin certificate for her.
In addition, they were teammates and there was a little bit of ambiguity between them, which made him subconsciously remember.
And after remembering, he finally made a thing that made Kei Uchiha and Aya Hyuga embarrassed on the day of Aya Hyuga's birthday.
The phrase 'you're dating' was too lethal for the two of them.
Why the hell, Po Shui Mun actually had a day when he turned into a gossip maniac.
Although both Kei Uchiha and Aya Hyuga seemed to be very embarrassed, neither of them seemed to have a good way to refute it.
And Kei Uchiha and Aya Hyuga's attitude seemed to make Po Shui Mun have a bigger misunderstanding.
He was almost completely convinced that the two of them were definitely together.
It's just because their families created a gap between them that they couldn't completely come together.
Therefore, Po Shui Mun couldn't say anything more, he didn't dare to put his hand in the ninja family.
Of course, after the reform in the future, the Jonin's right to speak will change many things.
But this matter still affected Aya Hyuga a little, this woman seemed to be a little confused these days.
She seemed to be thinking about some questions, some questions about her current situation.
Aya Hyuga felt that she had changed, she didn't know when she began to have some subtle changes.
Most notably, she didn't pay too much attention to the changes.
Her heart was still hard and cold, and her actions were still cold and ruthless.
But she didn't know why, in the face of this damn Kei Uchiha.
She seemed to have no way to restore herself to the original state, that simple and independent state of wanting to cooperate.
Kei Uchiha gave her enough respect, this is something that Aya Hyuga never thought of.
Living in the branch family since childhood, her heart was very sensitive, and the experience on the battlefield also gave her a strong ability to analyze.
When Kei Uchiha became the Deputy Minister of the Department of Security, he still chose to carry out the mission with them.
Aya Hyuga was keenly aware that Kei Uchiha's motive was definitely not so clear.
Through the knowledge on the battlefield, she knew what kind of person Kei Uchiha was, so his behavior made her feel a great threat.
Reality also proved that her conjecture was not wrong, Kei Uchiha did indeed carry an unspeakable secret, and his target was indeed herself!
But because of a freak combination of factors, plus Kenta Imai was worried that Kei Uchiha would gradually clear out the area, that allowed her to escape.
But even so, this matter left a huge psychological impact on Aya Hyuga.
She knew that she probably only had two choices – either stay in the village peacefully and not cause trouble, or be killed by Kei Uchiha!
But these two choices were not what she hoped for, because in the depths of her heart, there was always a dream.
That was to pursue freedom, to pursue freedom without the shackles of a caged bird!
And as luck would have it, on the way back, she overheard Uchiha Keiji's words to Kenta Imai in front of her.
More interestingly, when she made up her mind to look for Kei Uchiha for the first time, she accidentally discovered Kei Uchiha's unknown secret!
It was so cruel, so cold, Aya Hyuga was a hundred percent sure, if she found him and was rejected, then her death would not be far!
Aya Hyuga also hesitated, worried, but in the end, she mustered up her courage.
Because to her, being a caged bird, was in fact, no different from being a walking corpse?
"Fortunately, a marriage was arranged in the first place. Fortunately, I caught some interesting things back then, or else …"
Now, Aya Hyuga recalled the second time she went to look for Kei Uchiha, she still had some worries.
At that time, she was indeed prepared to die. In fact, to her, if she was really forced to marry Teru Hyuga, then she was no different from being dead.
Although she held onto Kei Uchiha's main artery, in terms of influence and authority, she could not compare to Kei Uchiha at all.
This method was too risky, but she had to do it.
But fortunately, Kei Uchiha really cherished his feathers, and this guy was indeed rational enough.
Therefore, no tragedy happened, and she also got the promise that she wanted from this guy.
Uchiha Ki is a very cautious guy, and his wording is always the most careful of all the things he says.
He always used ambiguous words like 'try' and 'try my best', and he also asked her to do an extremely dangerous thing – to kill his fiancé, Teru Hyuga.
Now that she thought about it, Aya Hyuga sighed.
She was not moved by Teru Hyuga's death, after all, Teru Hyuga only acted on his own preferences, completely treating her as his own property, and arbitrarily deciding her future.
This kind of person, if he died, then so be it.
Even if she killed him herself, she would not be moved.
What she sighed was, she really walked on a path that could only continue moving forward, a slight hesitation would lead her to completely fall into the abyss!
"But … this path now doesn't look like it leads to the abyss …"
Now that Aya Hyuga thought about it, it seemed that the cooperation with Kei Uchiha was really not like what she had imagined, a bottomless abyss!
Although there were a lot of difficulties and troubles in the beginning, as their cooperation deepened, they also had an inconceivable tacit understanding.
The most important thing was that Kei Uchiha still maintained enough vigilance against her, and sometimes made her feel that she was being used.
But no matter what, Uchiha Ki has done a good job as a partner of Kuroto's.
He used his own experiments to open a path for Aya Hyuga, he sent his subordinates to find a lot of documents for Aya Hyuga that she had never thought of.
He guided Aya Hyuga to discover the relationship between Hyuga and Kaguya.
The most important thing was that he gave Aya Hyuga a special respect that she had never experienced before!
This experience, in addition to the help that she had received.
It really made her emotions change slowly and silently. There were some signs of it, but it was also changing more quietly.
She had forgotten when all of this had started, but she still remembered when it had become obvious.
Maybe it was a series of misunderstandings after she brought Kimimaro back?
And Kuroto has to admit one thing, that is, their relationship seems to be getting better and better during this period of time, and their relationship seems to be getting warmer and warmer.
And the highest point of all this was on her seventeenth birthday, when she was pierced by Po Shui Mun's words.
It was true that there were already many people guessing and discussing their current relationship, but they could completely ignore these people.
But Po Shui Mun was different, he was the Hokage!
If even he thinks so, then it can be imagined how deep and entangled her relationship with Uchiha Ki is right now, and how deep it is.
At the same time, it could be foreseen how much she had changed!
"I … What's going on? I … How am I going to face this bastard … "
Aya Hyuga's head was full of question marks and distress, she was distressed by her unintentional change.
She was distressed as to why she was getting closer and closer to Kei Uchiha, but she didn't dislike this feeling at all.
She was distressed as to how she was going to face Kei Uchiha.
Coincidentally, Kei Uchiha's head was also full of question marks and distress.
Because he received a report, a report from the Land of Iron.
The content of this report wasn't much, but it was enough to affect the nerves of Wood Leaf and Cloud Village, and this report was enough to make Kei Uchiha vomit blood.
Uchiha's shadow, killed Cloud Jonin Troy!
Who is Troy, Kei Uchiha didn't have much impression.
Apart from knowing that this guy was Edo Reincarnation and had a magnetic shield, there didn't seem to be anything special.
Things like Bloodline Limit, once you understand its nature, it isn't so mysterious.
But the problem is that this guy has a lot of power in Cloud Village.
Moreover, he is a loyal follower of the fourth generation Raiying Ai, and he is the captain of a fighting force!
Such a character was actually killed by an unknown Uchiha?
Doesn't this Uchiha Liuying know that keeping a captive in exchange for more benefits?
Well, even if you want to kill him, why don't you leave his head and bring it back to investigate?
If it doesn't work, leave some blood for research!
But Uchiha Liuying didn't do this at all, maybe he felt that it was too much of a waste of time.
Maybe he was worried that bringing this guy's head or blood will lead to the pursuit of Cloud Village's troops.
Therefore, his approach was straightforward, decisive, steady, and cautious. He directly burned this guy into charcoal, it can be said that he completely burned his bones to ashes!
Uchiha Kei who saw this piece of information was completely dumbfounded at the time.
Because he always felt that he saw his own shadow in this guy.
"This guy, really …"
In the office of the Security Department, Uchiha Keiji looked at the report with a dumbfounded expression.
Listening to the news passed by Po Shui Mun, this incident made Sandaime Hokage very angry.
Because this is purely expanding the scope and intensity of the collision between Wood Leaf and Cloud Village, which will seriously affect the interests of Wood Leaf in the Land of Iron.
Indeed, although Sandaime Hokage and Kei Uchiha don't deal with each other.
But his idea is indeed correct, if he wants to take revenge for this person with status and strength.
This will expand the scope of the conflict and eventually evolve into a war, then Uchiha Keisuke will be the one to blame.
"However, this is also a guess. It is inevitable that some people who shouldn't die will die in war. I'm afraid Sarutobi also saw this clearly, so he was only angry and didn't attack.
But no matter what, this can be considered a small lesson. Moreover, this can also be considered a turning point, right? "
Kei Uchiha looked out of the window. Indeed, this is a serious incident, but death is inevitable in war.
And, this is really a turning point …
…
Troy's death is really a big deal for the battle between Wood Leaf and Kumo Shinobu.
It's not an exaggeration to call it a turning point!
Who would have thought that a ninja who has a good voice in Cloud Village and has mastered Kekkei Genkai would fall in such a conflict.
This level of conflict was, in fact, just a warm-up session before the battle.
No one will really invest too many troops and people who are too powerful to entangle.
The main reason why Cloud Village released Troy is that Wood Leaf's reaction speed is fast enough, and he also made Cloud Village suffer a lot.
Although it was only a small-scale conflict, they were eager to get back the situation, so they didn't hesitate to send such a ninja.
But the reality is that Wood Leaf did the same thing.
It's not known whether it's a tacit understanding or the spy left by Wood Leaf in Cloud Village is really powerful.
Although it's just an unknown Uchiha, but it is indeed an Uchiha with Sharingan activated!
The battle between ninjas is really not about how many Chakra you have and how high your position is.
But it depends on the ability of both sides, the ability to obtain information during the battle, the grasp of timing, the use of techniques, and so on.
The guy named Uchiha Ryukage killed Troy in just a few minutes.
In addition to showing that this guy's strength is very good, it also shows that his ability to obtain information, the use of his techniques, and so on are very good!
Sharingan is really one of the most terrifying and strange Kekkei Genkai in the Ninja World.
Even an unknown guy can kill a powerful ninja with the help of Sharingan, how can this not make people sigh with emotion?
However, Uchiha Ryukage is no longer an unknown person now, and the changes brought about by his actions this time are really too big.
As Kei Uchiha expected, if Cloud Village planned to take revenge on this matter, I am afraid that they would have rushed to the border of Wood Leaf by now.
But they didn't, they are still waiting, waiting for a better opportunity to leave more pain to Wood Leaf!
And their approach is also a little unexpected to other Shinobi villages.
That is, while sending more manpower, they also shrink the scope of their attacks and conflicts.
It can be said that this is a turning point, a turning point to reduce the losses of the Wood Leaf ninjas, and they don't need to be too afraid.
It is also a turning point that marks a small victory for Wood Leaf!
"However, some things shouldn't be so naive."
After Uchiha Keiichi learned of this matter, he couldn't help but sigh, the reaction of Konoha's shinobi is a bit premature.
"They just want to show weakness, and then take the opportunity to visit Wood Leaf, and finally let their envoys die in Wood Leaf. With this as an excuse, they will start the real offensive against Wood Leaf. "
I have shown weakness, I have come to negotiate and sign a peace treaty with you.
But you also attacked my people and killed my people, is there anything more humiliating than this?
In the original story, Kumo Shinobu played like this, but at that time they were on the strong side.
Although Kei Uchiha doesn't know if there is a similar conflict between the Land of Iron, which is close to the Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning.
But he feels that there should be, it's just that the original story didn't mention it in detail, it simply mentioned that 'Wood Leaf and Cloud Village are in constant conflict.'
In the original story, Cloud Village came to negotiate and sign a peace treaty with the attitude of a winner.
They also put on a posture that the strong don't want to bully the weak, which is a slap in the face of Wood Leaf.
But now it's different, now it's too different.
But they will still do what they should do, after all, such a show of military strength, and can make Wood Leaf lose face, they will never give up!
…
"Kai Jun, this time the security task of Wood Leaf is completely handed over to you."
In the Hokage office, Po Shui Mun sat in front of the Hokage table, looking at Kei Uchiha with a smile on his face.
Shikaku stood on the side, constantly flipping through the information.
Time has passed unknowingly to the end of the year, the cold wind has completely blown away, leaving only one side wrapped in snow.
The battle between Wood Leaf and Cloud Village has lasted for more than half a year, and it finally showed signs of stopping.
Especially when Raikage publicly announced that he will send an envoy to Wood Leaf for a visit and negotiation, this time the conflict slowly began to stop.
This news also spread throughout the Shinobi world for the first time.
I don't know how many shinobi villages regret that these two villages don't completely fight each other.
But some things really won't change according to their thinking, it's just that they don't dare to underestimate either of these two shinobi villages.
It's not a surprise that Wood Leaf won, after all, Cloud Village didn't invest too much manpower.
This kind of small-scale battle is purely a matter of whose support is faster.
Even if it's a small shinobi village with strong enough personnel, they can still win.
Similarly, they won't underestimate Cloud Village, everyone can see the military strength of Cloud Village, on the contrary, they will agree with Cloud Village.
Although they did provoke this incident, but Wood Leaf robbed the mission resources near the Land of Lightning, if it was any other shinobi village, they would definitely not be able to bear it!
And Raikage took the initiative to make a choice for the sake of peace and tranquility, which really made Raikage gain a lot of points in the eyes of these shinobi villages.
This refreshed their previous perception of Cloud Village's reckless political image.
In fact, Kei Uchiha was a little surprised that Cloud Village actually used such a move to add points to themselves, creating a really good political image.
Although they were full of evil intentions, once the guy named Atsby died in Konoha, they would definitely make a move at the first moment!
And when they win, their goal will be achieved.
Moreover, they won't leave the impression that they are not invaders, and then silently show their military strength.
And if the plan works, they can also bury a big mine in Wood Leaf.
It can be said to kill two birds with one stone, very insidious.
The most important thing is that even if the political elites of other shinobi villages see their purpose, it won't change the opinion of other shinobi.
Even if they fail, they won't suffer too much loss.
If they succeed, people will see something, but if they fail, it won't necessarily be the case.
Once they fail, they will definitely come out to interfere with the further actions of Wood Leaf.
Wood Leaf is too powerful, they can't be allowed to gain more benefits!
Now that the guy named Atsby has set out, if there is no accident, he will arrive in Wood Leaf tomorrow.
The Wood Leaf ninjas who have been in conflict with these Kumo Shinobu for more than half a year will definitely not be happy with them.
And in order to avoid some unnecessary accidents, it is necessary for someone to maintain the security of Wood Leaf, and there is also the security problem of the guy named Atsby.
This problem naturally falls on the Department of Security, which also falls on Kei Uchiha.
"I know, don't worry." Kei Uchiha nodded calmly: "Although my subordinates may not be too happy, I will make them restrain themselves."
In this conflict, Sandaime Hokage caused a lot of people from the Department of Security to be dispatched to fight against Kumo Village, which caused the Department of Security to lose a lot of manpower.
This naturally made the Department of Security very unhappy with Kumo Village, even with obvious hostility.
But it doesn't matter if they are hostile, because as long as Kei Uchiha says a word, he can make these guys be honest and quiet.
This is his absolute authority in the Department of Security!
"It's really difficult for you." Po Shui Mun sighed, then he turned his head and looked at Shikaku: "By the way, have the pensions of those heroes been distributed?"
"It has been fully distributed." Shikaku immediately said: "After Minister Okuchi's statistics and planning, we have applied for the money as soon as possible. Of course, Minister Okuchi is very anxious, so I used the funds from the Kaguya Clan to distribute the money first."
"That's good, by the way, this matter has not been exposed, right?" Po Shui Mun nodded with satisfaction, but then he did not forget to remind: "After all, what we are doing is not something glorious."
"Don't worry, Hokage-Sama, Minister Okuchi." Shikaku showed a slight smile: "This matter is all under my control and management, there will be no problem."
Shikaku is indeed confident that he can completely do this matter, and he can completely ensure that this matter will never be exposed.
The circulation of money needs to be reviewed layer by layer, but Kei Uchiha is so tight that he can't do anything about it.
Therefore, he can only use some special means to quickly get some of the applied funds in place.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Kei Uchiha again. This guy is really ruthless now.
Shikaku actually knows that Kei Uchiha is very unhappy with him, but for the survival of his family, he sometimes has to make some necessary choices.
It's just that what makes him a little depressed is that Kei Uchiha clearly knows what is going on.
Even Po Shui Mun told him privately that Kei Uchiha knows everything.
However, even though this brat knew, he was still emotional. Perhaps he hated his own choices and methods?
But fortunately, although Kei Uchiha has such an emotional side, it makes Shikaku feel that this person is more real.
Moreover, although Uchiha Ki is unhappy with Kuroto's actions, he only forces Kuroto to do things that aren't important, or he forces Kuroto to do things that are necessary.
For Shikaku, these things simply don't happen.
Although it sometimes makes him embarrassed, for someone like him who has been fighting in the Wood Leaf system for a long time, it's really loud thunder and small raindrops.
"That's good." Po Shui Mun nodded, and finally looked at Kei Uchiha: "Then I won't say much, Kai Jun, please."
"I understand, Hokage-Sama." Kei Uchiha nodded: "I will figure out his purpose here, and I will try my best to make people look after him."
Naturally, I will look after them and see what they do.
If necessary, Kei Uchiha can even send them on their way …
