Sengoku Love

Great Elder?

That old woman from the Hyuga Clan?

The relationship between those two...

It looked far from ordinary~

At this moment.

Uchiha Fuyou was no longer greeting the major clans at the entrance. He quietly followed Rinne into the restaurant, found a secluded spot, and watched curiously.

But still.

Elderly people at a barbecue place?

Could their teeth even handle it?

Wouldn't a karaoke bar suit them better than a barbecue place?~

Oh, right.

He had not opened a karaoke bar yet.

After pondering for a moment, he watched Hyuga Rinne start grilling on her own. Perhaps because she noticed him looking at her, her face flushed slightly with embarrassment. "I'm a little hungry. Fuyou... do you want some?"

"That makes sense. After being busy for so long, I'm a little hungry too." Fuyou nodded and said with a smile, "I'll leave it to you!"

"Mm." Hearing that Fuyou wanted some too, Hyuga Rinne seemed delighted. Smiling, she began busily grilling.

Considering Rinne's appetite, Uchiha Fuyou discreetly had the waiter bring over more food.

The right places were plump, and the nutrition had clearly gone exactly where it should. No problem there.

Then.

He turned his attention back to the Great Elder. The Great Elder had begun grilling as well, doing it personally. His wrinkled face carried the Uchiha Clan's distinctive pride.

He looked especially punchable!

His mouth kept opening and closing, though no one knew what he was saying. He constantly pointed at the meat on the charcoal grill, looking as though he were showing off his child's excellent grades.

Before long.

The Great Elder finished grilling. He even seemed to let out a cold snort before raising his head and placing some meat onto that old Byakugan woman's plate, his face saying, Uchiha Sekigen giving you food is an honor.

The Uchiha Clan's unique tsundere trait?

That old Hyuga woman seemed long accustomed to it. An elegant sneer rested on her lips as she gracefully picked up the meat and slowly placed it into her mouth. After a while... she nodded faintly, apparently satisfied.

At once.

The Great Elder became even prouder and more tsundere, lifting his head at a forty-five-degree angle with a smug smile.

Uchiha Fuyou's mouth kept twitching at the sight.

This relationship.

Really was a little unusual!

Even without activating the Three Tomoe Sharingan, he could smell that sour, rotten stench.

His stomach even twisted, making him feel somewhat ill.

Just then.

"Fuyou, it's ready." Rinne's soft, gentle voice rang out. Uchiha Fuyou came back to his senses and looked at the plate piled high with grilled meat before him. He paused slightly, then said nothing as he picked up his chopsticks and tried some. His eyes immediately lit up. "It's delicious!"

Although the restaurant gave it a boost, the meat he had tried grilling himself a few days ago had not tasted nearly this good.

As soon as he said that.

"Really?" Rinne seemed very happy. Holding the meat tongs in both hands, she tilted her head slightly, her smiling eyes curving into crescents. "That's wonderful."

"You should eat too!" Uchiha Fuyou held his plate as he ate, still watching the Great Elder, intending to see what that old Uchiha stubborn old man was really up to.

After pondering briefly, without even turning his head, he asked, "Rinne, that old lady is from the Hyuga Clan's..."

"A main family elder~" While Fuyou could not see her, meat vanished before Hyuga Rinne's eyes again and again, her movements leaving afterimages.

Her face reddened slightly, but when she saw that Fuyou had not noticed, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief. In a soft voice, she said, "Grandma Byakka has a very high standing in the main family!"

"No wonder..."

If she could chat so easily with the Great Elder, she was probably someone he had known long ago, and their relationship was anything but ordinary.

Uchiha Fuyou leaned sideways, his right knee resting directly against the sofa. He ate as he watched, but... why did the meat on his plate never seem to run out?

He turned back in confusion and immediately saw Hyuga Rinne filling his plate again. He was startled.

"What's wrong?" Rinne's face reddened slightly. "Does Fuyou not like it?"

"No. I like it." He stuffed some into his mouth, then glanced toward the Great Elder again.

At this point, the Great Elder was no longer grilling. That old lady, Hyuga Byakka, had taken the tongs. Her cloudy eyes appeared somewhat disdainful. Though both were white-eyed, after spending so much time around Rinne, Fuyou had become quite familiar with the Byakugan.

As for the Great Elder... embarrassment and anger showed faintly on his face, yet he stubbornly held his head high, looking as though he were saying, This old man cannot be bothered to argue with an old woman like you.

It really made one curious~

What exactly was their relationship?

Unfortunately.

Getting too close would make them easy to notice.

Frowning slightly, he pondered for a moment, then asked without turning around, "Rinne, do you know what kind of relationship those two have?"

The moment the words fell.

"Senior Byakka and the Great Elder used to be enemies."

"???"

Uchiha Fuyou froze.

That flat voice immediately conjured a poker-faced expression in his mind. He could not help turning around, and sure enough, he saw his older brother, his sister-in-law, his nephew, little fanboy Uchiha Shisui, and the couple beside them—the head of the Hyuga branch family and his wife.

Why had they all come over?

Fuyou looked at the faintly blushing Rinne, who was grilling with his sister-in-law, then at Rinne's sister-in-law. After that, he looked at Uchiha Fugaku, who was eating barbecue with that poker face. "Why are you all here?"

He had not even intended to disturb his older brother's family, yet they had come over to him instead.

As soon as he said that.

"Interesting," Uchiha Fugaku said flatly. "So we came to take a look."

Hizashi beside him nodded with a smile as well. "Since it concerns the main family, I came to take a look too."

"..."

It really was quite interesting.

Sure enough.

Don't let his older brother's poker face fool you, as though everyone owed him hundreds of millions.

He still had the curiosity he should have!

As for Hizashi... the branch family watching the main family was perfectly reasonable!

It was just that the head of the main family—Hyuga Hiashi—had not come. That guy was carrying a heavy burden as clan head now, so he probably could not do something like this. He would have to wait until Naruto changed him before letting his true nature loose!

But still.

What Fugaku had just said...

"Enemies?" Uchiha Fuyou frowned slightly at Fugaku, then turned to look at the two old people again. "Doesn't look like it! Were they really enemies?"

"During the Warring States period, the major ninja clans were basically all enemies." Fugaku wiped his mouth and said calmly, "Only after the First Hokage ended the Warring States period and established the ninja village did relations between the clans gradually ease."

"I see." Uchiha Fuyou roughly understood now.

It had to be a heartrending Sengoku romance.

Love born amid war, yet unattainable. Only after growing old could they sit down together for a barbecue meal.

The Great Elder was no ordinary man!

He had underestimated him! Seriously underestimated him!

Uchiha Fuyou sighed emotionally, piled a large bowl of greasy fatty meat in front of Itachi and Shisui, and revealed the benevolent smile of an elder. "Come on! Children are still growing! Eat more! Don't waste it."

If he could not become a prodigal son, then he would raise them into obese shut-in nerds!

Same thing!

Uchiha Fugaku glanced at them, but this time he said nothing.

Eating more was good too!

He picked up a piece of meat and put it into his mouth. Looking at Uchiha Fuyou and Hyuga Rinne, who was happily grilling meat, he added flatly, "Girls from the Hyuga Clan do not marry out. Even if they are accepted, the man can only marry into the family. This is especially true for the branch family—marrying in still means being controlled. The Uchiha Clan cannot marry into another family either. Coupled with deaths caused by war, perhaps that is why the Great Elder and the others ended up like this."

As soon as he said that.

The surroundings fell silent. Hyuga Rinne's hand trembled slightly, but she quickly regained her smile and lowered her head to continue grilling the meat...
