Konoha won a great victory in Second Great Ninja War. This is something that all ninjas know.
But many people don't know that Uchiha Clan suffered a lot when Daimyo's Capital blocked the Suna Ninja.
Loss means casualties, and casualties breed hatred. This is true for ordinary people, let alone Uchiha Clan, who carries the name of "love"?
The long period of peace may have paralyzed this ethnic group, but it is precisely because of this paralysis that when the belated pain comes, the fluctuations caused will be more lasting.
Therefore, if there is anyone who hates Sand Ninja the most right now, it is undoubtedly Uchiha Clan.
As Hyuga Clan, who has been with the Uchiha Clan for thousands of years, his understanding of this point is undoubtedly extremely profound.
This is also the purpose of Hyuga Tenko's words to Uchiha Chen, to remind him that Uchiha Clan wants to attack the negotiating team of Sunagakure.
Hyuga Tenko's "good intentions" are naturally selfish.
Needless to say, the strength of the young man in front of him goes without saying. If he appears in the escort team, then Uchiha Clan has a high chance of succeeding in revenge.
Naturally, if Uchiha Chen does not follow along, the chance of success will be reduced. Even if the operation is done properly, it is not impossible for the Uchiha Clan to suffer heavy losses again.
Secondly, Uchiha Chen is the son of Mirror and the disciple of Third Hokage. This relationship is originally stuck between the lines of the Uchiha Clan and Hokage.
Judging from the results of Hyuga Tenko's constant observation, Uchiha Chen is vaguely biased towards Third Hokage. In this case, it is better to use this incident to continue to widen the rift in the relationship between him and Uchiha Clan.
Of course, he also has a small selfish intention. You see, I have helped you like this. My daughter is in your team, how can you still be embarrassed not to help me protect it?
So Hyuga Tenko is a real old fox. He will not give any advice, and will only provide a piece of news so that Uchiha Chen can be prepared. The final decision is made by Uchiha Chen himself.
This is a conspiracy.
But Uchiha Chen really has to acknowledge Hyuga Tenko's feelings. After all, being prepared and not being prepared are two different things.
Otherwise, when Uchiha Yama really finds him directly and asks him to go on an escort mission together, will he go or not?
After that, they ate for a while and chatted casually about some things on the battlefield, but the most important things were already said, so the banquet was almost over.
Uchiha Chen received unexpected news, and Hyuga Tenko also received a lot of interesting things.
One thing at least proves that Uchiha Chen is very strong in ninja talent and also not weak in IQ. At least he is not the common Long Aotian like Uchiha Clan. His careless daughter will not be bullied in his team.
After dinner, Hyuga Tenko asked Himeji to take Uchiha Chen for a walk around the clan, but Hizashi, who was bitter and resentful, gave Uchiha Chen a hard look before leaving.
The meaning is very obvious - if you dare to touch my sister, don't blame me for doing it.
Uchiha Chen had no choice but to laugh bitterly at this. Has my character already dropped to this low level?
He said really loudly: I am not a pervert, I am a serious person!
Following Himeji's guidance, the two quickly walked to the street of Hyuga Clan Compound.
The street is very quiet. One reason is that it is already dinner time, and there is a lack of entertainment activities. It is not Konoha festival time, so there are not many people.
While passing by a store, Uchiha Chen walked in and bought two cups of yogurt.
"Here you go."
"Huh?" Himeji tilted his head with a confused expression.
"Stop pretending, I know you didn't eat enough at night and were just sitting around in a daze."
"..."
After passing a cup to Himeji, he also opened his own cup, leaned against the bench beside the grass, and drank the sour liquid in one gulp.
"What, you don't like drinking?"
"No... no, it's the first time I drank it and it felt weird." Himeji shook his head.
"You are the eldest lady of the Hyuga Clan, but you have never tasted yogurt?" Uchiha Chen showed an expression of disbelief.
"My father was very strict. We were not allowed to go shopping on the roadside when we were young."
"Then what did you drink before?"
"... Hmm." Himeji thought for a moment and said, "Island of Ice's spring water."
"Why does it feel so familiar?"
"Well, Ninja Academy introduced in the book that Land of Water Island of Ice is rich in spring water."
"..."
This is the life of a wealthy family. As expected of a descendant of the Moon Man, his taste is just different.
"Does Chen like to drink yogurt?" Himeji rarely took the initiative to ask.
"Yeah, when I stop being a ninja, I'm going to open a yogurt shop in Konoha."
"... Isn't it a bakery?"
"Uh..." Uchiha Chen scratched his hair in embarrassment. "How do you know?"
"Mikoto told me."
"She would actually tell you these things." Uchiha Chen was a little surprised. "But there is no conflict if a store sells yogurt and bread at the same time."
"... Okay."
Himeji had an inexplicable smile on her face. The wind blew by, blowing her hair and clothes, making a rustling sound, mixed with the swaying sounds of vegetation and the chirping of insects.
"Then what are you going to do when you're not a ninja?"
"Ah, me?" She shook her head. "Actually, I don't even know what will happen tomorrow."
"Actually, everyone is like this."
"Really, is Chen like this too?"
"Of course."
"But you don't look confused at all."
"How is that possible?" Uchiha Chen smiled calmly and continued, "I get confused sometimes, I just keep doing what I can."
"... That's right."
After saying that, Himeji looked at his face and kept staring at Uchiha Chen in the distance, looking like a helpless child.
Farther away, there is a high and deep sky, and the white Milky Way is clearly visible among the stacked clouds.
