What a Sin~

Uchiha Sekizawa.

The Second Elder of the Uchiha clan.

This guy was also a stubborn old man in the clan, just like the Great Elder. He always wanted the Uchiha to regain their former glory.

It's just that nowadays, the Great Elder, for some reason... he's become addicted to square dancing for seniors and rarely shows up anymore.

The power of love~

Of course, he wasn't very optimistic about this twilight romance.

Not to mention the ancestral reasons between the two major families, it's estimated that those in power wouldn't allow the Uchiha to unite with the Hyuga.

And back then, he had also received much care from the Second Elder.

The Second Elder was dedicated to the clan, so he treated all talented children in the clan very well, hoping that the Uchiha could produce another legend or something.

What a pity.

Later, there were quite a few talented individuals in the Uchiha, but unfortunately... they were either indecisive or mentally unstable.

This directly led to the downfall of the Uchiha.

"Fuyou, you are a member of the Uchiha after all," Uchiha Sekizawa snorted coldly. "Now that you've made a little money, you don't take the Uchiha seriously, and you don't take this old man seriously anymore?"

"???"

So, what was the meaning of this?

When did he not take him seriously?

Uchiha Fuyou looked at him with a face full of confusion.

Is this a poor relative coming to ask for help?

Before he could even ask, Uchiha Sekizawa snorted again and said, "To actually waste money on such a boring matter! Do you know that for your sake, the Great Elder, at his age, has to go out early every morning to clean up your messes and can only return home when it's almost dark!" As he spoke, his tone grew even more somber, "Do you know how old the Great Elder is now? Yet he has to drag his weary body around everywhere, and this... this is all the trouble you've caused, you brat!"

"???"

So, what exactly happened?

Why was he getting more confused the more he listened?

Wasn't the Great Elder living it up?

Uchiha Fuyou looked bewildered, "Second Elder, I..."

Before he could finish speaking.

"Oh my! Everyone's here today!"

A hoarse voice came from behind, with a hint of urgency in its tone.

Everyone was stunned. As soon as they turned their heads, they saw the hunched figure leaning on a cane.

The Great Elder?!

The Great Elder said cheerfully, "Fuyou, are you here for the clan meeting?"

"Great Elder," Fuyou shook his head. "I just came back to see Itachi." He paused, then frowned at the Great Elder. "The Second Elder just said... mmmph mmmph mmmph~"

Before he could finish, the Great Elder covered his mouth.

I didn't realize...

Despite his age and frail appearance, the Great Elder is quite quick!

But why is he covering my mouth?

"Great Elder, what are you doing?" Fuyou directly pried open the Great Elder's hand and said with a frown, "Second Elder, he said... mmmph mmmph mmmph~"

"This old man understands, this old man understands," the Great Elder said with emotion. "You don't have to attend the clan meeting today if you don't want to. Don't say too much. You're not relaxed either, you should go back to work!"

"I wasn't saying... mmmph mmmph mmmph~"

This time.

"..."

The two fell silent, looking at each other.

The Great Elder looked at Uchiha Fuyou calmly. "Understood?"

"..."

Uchiha Fuyou nodded.

He understood.

The problem wasn't with him, but with this shameless, tsundere old man.

So.

He said sternly, "I suddenly remembered some business matters that need to be handled."

With that, he grabbed Rin and ran forward.

"Go on, go on!" The Great Elder nodded with satisfaction.

That brat is quite clever.

And the strength just now... it doesn't feel like an ordinary person's strength~

After watching Uchiha Fuyou and the other leave the clan compound, Uchiha Sekigen sighed and shook his head, "Second Elder ah~"

"Big Brother, you..." The Second Elder frowned at the Great Elder, his face showing hesitation, as if he wanted to say something, but before he could speak.

"Don't underestimate Fuyou. Fuyou has always been very smart and has his own ideas," the Great Elder said earnestly, patting his shoulder with his hunched back. "As I said, things are... deeper than they appear here!" He let out a long sigh, "Prepare yourself, the clan meeting is about to begin. The Ninja World isn't peaceful this year either! Don't do anything unnecessary."

After speaking.

He ignored Uchiha Sekizawa and turned to walk inside.

He had returned early specifically for the clan meeting.

The corners of his mouth curved slightly. Heh! Without my cooperation, that old woman must be in a frantic mess!

Hmph!

And Uchiha Sekizawa... stood alone in the courtyard, gazing at the Great Elder's departing figure.

So hunched, so unsteady.

Finally, he also let out a long sigh, gazing at the sun setting behind the mountain, "Deeper... are they?"

"Deep! Damn deep! So deep!" Uchiha Fuyou walked along, shaking his head.

He understood.

So the clowns... were him and the Second Elder.

"Fuyou, you..." Rin, who was beside him, saw Fuyou like this. For some reason, he had been muttering curses since they came out. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong," Fuyou shook his head, also sighing with emotion, and looked up at the setting sun. "What do you see from that?"

"???" Rin was taken aback. He looked at the sun, which had already half-set, and pondered for a moment. "Is it almost dinner time?"

"...It is indeed getting late," Fuyou fell silent for a moment, nodded, and then continued with emotion, "It's just... that's the youth that has passed~"

Sunset red!

That old tsundere ghost!

"Let's go, we're going to have dinner. What do you want to eat, Rin?"

"Mmm~, ramen!" Rin smiled slightly, a serene and somewhat shy smile, and said softly, "It feels like it's been a while since I had ramen with Fuyou. I suddenly want ramen."

"Okay! Then we'll have ramen today!"

At the same time.

At Ichiraku Ramen.

Minato looked at Kakashi, who had been discharged from the hospital. Although his walking still seemed a bit unnatural, he should be fine after a few more days of rest.

And that guy Might Guy... it seems he can also be discharged tomorrow.

This is truly cause for celebration!

He smiled slightly, making his smile as gentle as possible. "Come, want some ramen? It's on me. I originally planned to call all three of you to Fuyou Grill for barbecue today, but the doctor said you can't eat spicy food recently..." He paused, looking at the resentful little eyes, and immediately chuckled. "Come, come! Order whatever you want! It's my treat today, even an extra serving of chashu is fine."

However.

Kakashi didn't order immediately. He specifically came over after being discharged from the hospital, without stopping for a moment, because he had something important to tell his teacher, Minato.

So, he looked at his teacher Minato very seriously and earnestly, and also took out a piece of paper he had prepared, handing it to Minato. "Teacher, I'm applying for a team transfer!"

"..."

Minato fell silent for a moment. He took the paper and looked at the team transfer request, then looked at Kakashi seriously. "Aren't you going to reconsider? You know, teams can't be swapped around casually, and Obito didn't do it on purpose. He will apologize to Kakashi, there will definitely not be a second..."

"Yesterday... Might Guy was sleeping right next to me," Kakashi said expressionlessly, looking at Minato.

"Haha." Minato chuckled. "Come, come! Eat your ramen first, eat your ramen first. I'll ask the Hokage later, and you can also consider it."

Saying that, he looked at Kakashi, who was struggling to sit on the chair, and his heart trembled. This is really... a disaster!
