Warring States Love

Great Elder?

The old woman from the Hyuga Clan?

The relationship between these two...

It doesn't seem ordinary~

At this moment.

Uchiha Fuyou wasn't at the entrance to greet the various families anymore. He quietly followed Rin into the shop, found a secluded spot, and watched with curiosity.

However.

Are old people coming to barbecue?

Can their teeth handle it?

Going to a karaoke bar would be better than coming to a barbecue~

Oh, right.

Karaoke hasn't opened yet.

After pondering for a moment, he looked at Hyuga Rinne, who had already started grilling herself. Seemingly due to his gaze, Rinne blushed shyly, "I'm a bit hungry, Fuyou... do you want some?"

"That's right, I've been busy for so long, I'm a bit hungry too," Fuyou nodded and said with a smile, "Thank you for the trouble!"

"Mhm." Hearing that Fuyou also wanted to eat, Hyuga Rinne seemed to smile happily and began to get busy.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Fuyou, considering Rinne's appetite, subtly asked the waiter to bring more.

Getting fat in the right places, the nutrition was indeed being supplied to the appropriate areas, no problem.

Then.

He continued to watch the Great Elder's side. At this time, the Great Elder had also started grilling, personally handling the tongs. His face, full of wrinkles, still carried the unique pride of the Uchiha Clan.

He looked particularly punchable!

His mouth opened and closed, saying something unintelligible, and he kept pointing at the barbecue on the charcoal grill, his expression like he was showing off his child's excellent grades.

In just a short while.

The Great Elder had also finished grilling and seemed to let out a cold snort. Holding his head high, he placed some meat for the old woman with the Byakugan, his expression clearly saying, "It's a favor that I, Uchiha Sekigen, am giving you this to eat."

The Uchiha's unique tsundere attitude?

As for the old Hyuga woman, she seemed accustomed to it. A faint, elegant cold smile played on her lips. She picked up the meat with graceful movements and slowly put it into her mouth. After a moment... she nodded faintly, seemingly satisfied.

At this point.

The Great Elder became even prouder and more tsundere, a smug smile on his face as he tilted his head up at a forty-five-degree angle.

Uchiha Fuyou's mouth twitched uncontrollably watching this.

This relationship.

It really isn't ordinary!

Even without activating his Three Tomoe Sharingan, he could smell that rotten, sour odor.

His stomach even twisted, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

At this moment.

"Fuyou, it's ready," Rin's voice, soft as a gentle stream, sounded. Uchiha Fuyou snapped back to attention and looked at the pile of grilled meat on his plate. He was slightly stunned. Without saying anything, he picked up his chopsticks, tried a piece, and his eyes immediately lit up, "This is delicious!"

Although the shop had a buff, the meat he grilled himself a few days ago wasn't this tasty.

As he spoke.

"Really?" Rin seemed very happy, holding the tongs with both hands, tilting her head slightly, her eyes curving into a smile, "That's great."

"You eat too!" Uchiha Fuyou directly picked up his plate, eating as he continued to watch the Great Elder, preparing to see what the old Uchiha stubborn old man was up to.

He pondered for a moment, without turning his head, and asked, "Rin, that old grandmother is from the Hyuga Clan..."

"A Branch Family Elder~" When Fuyou wasn't looking, Rin's movements were like afterimages, with meat disappearing before her eyes non-stop.

Her face flushed slightly, but seeing that Fuyou hadn't noticed, she breathed a sigh of relief and said softly, "Grandma Byakka has a very high status in the Main Family!"

"No wonder..."

Being able to chat with the Great Elder, she was probably an old acquaintance of the Great Elder from back then, and their relationship wasn't ordinary.

Uchiha Fuyou leaned to the side, his right knee resting directly on the sofa. He ate while watching, but... why did it feel like he couldn't finish the meat on his plate?

He turned his head in confusion and saw Hyuga Rinne had refilled his plate again. He was surprised.

"What's wrong?" Rin's face blushed slightly, "Fuyou, do you not like it?"

"No. I like it." He stuffed some into his mouth and glanced at the Great Elder's side again.

At this time, it wasn't the Great Elder grilling anymore. Instead, the old grandmother Hyuga Byakka had taken over the tongs. Her cloudy eyes seemed somewhat disdainful. Although they were both white eyeballs, having been with Rin for so long, Fuyou was quite familiar with the Byakugan.

And the Great Elder... his face also showed some indignant embarrassment, and he stubbornly held his head high, looking like he was saying, "This old man disdains to argue with you, old woman."

It was truly intriguing~

What was their relationship?

What a shame.

Getting too close would make them easy to spot.

Frowning slightly, he pondered for a moment, then asked without turning his head, "Does Rin know what their relationship is?"

As soon as he finished speaking.

"Hyuga Byakka and the Great Elder were once enemies."

"???"

Uchiha Fuyou was stunned.

That calm voice instantly conjured an image of a stoic face in his mind. He couldn't help but turn his head, and indeed, he saw his older brother, his sister-in-law, his eldest nephew, and the little fanboy—Uchiha Shisui, as well as the heads of a branch family of the Hyuga Clan and their spouses.

Why had they all come over?

Fuyou glanced at Rin, whose face was slightly flushed as she grilled meat with his sister-in-law, and then at Uchiha Fugaku, who was eating grilled meat with that stoic expression. "Why did you guys come?"

He hadn't planned on disturbing his older brother's family, so why had they come to him instead?

When he finished speaking.

"Interesting," Uchiha Fugaku said calmly. "So I came to take a look!"

Hiashi, standing beside him, also nodded with a smile. "After all, it's a matter concerning the main family, so I came to see as well."

"..."

It was indeed quite interesting.

As expected.

Even though his older brother always had that stoic face, as if everyone owed him a fortune.

He still had his curiosity!

As for Hiashi... the branch family observing the main family was perfectly reasonable!

It was just that the head of the main family—Hyuga Hiashi—hadn't come. That guy was carrying a heavy burden of being clan head nowadays, and probably wouldn't do something like this. He'd only start to loosen up after being changed by Naruto later on!

But.

What Fugaku just said...

"Enemies?" Uchiha Fuyou frowned slightly, looking at Fugaku, then turned his head to look at the two old men. "It doesn't seem like it! Were they really enemies?"

"During the Warring States period, most of the ninja clans were enemies," Fugaku said calmly, wiping his mouth. "It was only after the First Hokage ended the Warring States period and established the Ninja Villages that the relationships between the major clans calmed down considerably."

"I see," Uchiha Fuyou roughly understood.

It must have been a touching and tragic love story from the Warring States period.

A love born in war that could not be realized, and only in their old age could they sit down and eat grilled meat together.

The Great Elder was no ordinary person either!

He had underestimated him!

Uchiha Fuyou sighed with emotion, scooped a large bowl of oily fatty meat for Itachi and Shisui, and put on a kind, elder-like smile. "Here! Children are still growing! Eat more! Don't waste it."

Since he couldn't be a prodigal son, he'd raise them into fat shut-ins!

It was all the same!

Uchiha Fugaku glanced at them and didn't say anything this time.

Eating more was also good!

He picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, then looked at Uchiha Fuyou and Hyuga Rin, who was happily grilling meat. He said calmly, "Girls of the Hyuga Clan do not marry out. If they are recognized, they can only marry into the clan. Especially those from the branch family, they must be controlled when marrying in. And the Uchiha Clan cannot marry into other clans. Coupled with the deaths during the war, perhaps that's why the Great Elder and the others are like this."

As he finished speaking.

Silence fell around them. Hyuga Rin's hands trembled slightly, but she quickly resumed her smile and continued to lower her head, grilling the meat...
