"How is your work during this period?"
San Elder smiled dryly and changed the topic.
Their plan failed after all. Although one of Sarutobi Kou and Uchiha Jie was the captain and the other was a team member, unexpectedly, it seemed that Uchiha was not so arrogant and arrogant.
He is a boy who loves to laugh. No matter who he meets, he smiles gently, like the spring breeze blowing on his face. Moreover, his human talent is also very good. Although he is not a monster like Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi, he has also awakened Three-Tomoe Sharingan, although he only has one eye.
And he and Sarutobi Kou also get along very well. Sometimes Elder will see them eating together and shopping together. It is not the interaction between the teams, but just the two of them. It seems that their plan is really one step away from success.
But in the end, something like that actually happened to the Uchiha Clan. He knew that Sarutobi Kou ran to Third Hokage angrily, pounded the table violently, and questioned her Clan Head. This seemed to be the toughest time she had ever treated a clan member.
But since then, she seemed to have no more reactions and more expressions. She became the minister of the newly established Security Force. Now she is busy from early morning to the moonlight treetops every day. Sometimes she even doesn't even return home. She simply lives in this building very close to the Uchiha Clan.
"That's it. Countless trivial things are like flies and mosquitoes, surrounding your head and making trouble all the time."
Sarutobi Kou waved his hand with a rather helpless look and continued, "And you can't just burn these flies and mosquitoes to death with a fireball. You have to use tweezers to carefully separate them from fighting together. You also need to appease these guys' emotions and prevent them from fighting together again next time."
""This is simply the most annoying and painful job in the world. Now I understand why most of those Uchiha Clan guys have various problems in their brains."
San Elder listened quietly to Sarutobi Kou's complaints. It wasn't until she said the three words Uchiha that she breathed a sigh of relief.
"What about you now?" he asked softly.
"What can I do now? It's not like you don't know the old man's character. If it was the time when I first became a minister, I could still leave everything to my subordinates. Now that he has begun to pay attention to Security Force's work, I have to care about the fight between flies and mosquitoes."
Sarutobi Kou's voice finally became a little irritable, and she tapped her knuckles lightly on the table, seeming to be very dissatisfied with Third Hokage.
"Then--" San Elder's voice became softer. He raised his head and stared at Sarutobi Kou with his eyes, but there was mostly a flattering smile on his face.
This is what a person looks like when he is asking for something from others, and when a person is not only asking for something from others, but also feels guilty about others, his expression will be more humble.
3 Elder is the elder in the family, he shouldn't be like this, but he still looks like this.
"Then you--"
Before he could finish speaking, he was rudely interrupted by Sarutobi Kou.
"Me? What can I do? What do you want me to do?" There was a hint of resentment in her voice, and she did not look at San Elder, but stared at the documents piled up in front of her.
"You don't want to mess with Asuma, so you push everything on me. You want me to give birth to a child with Kekkei Genkai. Six Elder hopes that I can take a step further in this position of Security Force's elder brother and truly enter the center of Konoha's rights."
"8 Elder thinks that my talent has not been truly discovered yet. He hopes that I can practice seriously and tells me that strength is the most important thing."
"I do everything seriously, but you have already seen the results."
Sarutobi Kou sighed, and her voice became calmer again. She raised her hand, took out a piece of paper, and placed it in front of her.
The other hand picked up the pen again, reviewed the documents, and then continued to whisper, "I probably don't have much free time these days. It's not that you don't know that the old man Tenten will inspect my work. If there is any mistake, he will talk about it for half an hour."
"And Asuma is coming back soon. If anything happens then, just go find him. He has escaped from the village for so long. It's time to pick up the burden that should have been shouldered."
Finally, she raised her head and said, "Or you can let him take my place. In this position, he might be able to be promoted very quickly."
"Okay, let's wait until Asuma comes back."
Three Elder sighed and stood up. He couldn't help but complain about Third Hokage and Asuma Sarutobi in his heart.
If one of them is willing to cooperate, for example, Uchiha Clan's genocide is postponed until Sarutobi Kou has a child, or Asuma does not leave Konoha but stays in the village honestly to consolidate Sarutobi Clan's rights.
He stood up and left Minister Security Force's office tremblingly. He also knew in his heart that under the current circumstances, it was impossible for him to help Sarutobi Kou to cultivate relationships with other ninja people. He would be thankful to God if he could make her forget about the dead Uchiha boy.
And even if she has forgotten about Uchiha Jie and is willing to listen to his advice and find someone to cultivate a relationship again, there is no suitable candidate for Konoha now.
Maybe, I really should have a good talk with Asuma?
"Your old man has left?"
Not long after Elder left, Shikaru Nara returned to the office with two sticks of ice cream in her hand. However, she did not give one to her long hair, but stuffed both into her mouth, and then made a purring sound of enjoyment.
"Let's go -" Sarutobi Kou sighed, signed the document in front of him, then took out another one and read it carefully.
She doesn't have much time to eat ice cream now, and she doesn't like such sweet food.
Shikaru Nara glanced at the clock on the wall and secretly estimated the time he had just left the house. His expression suddenly became less happy, as if the ice cream had suddenly gone bad.
"Isn't that old man going to find another man for you?" she asked.
"Yeah." A smile appeared on Sarutobi Kou's lips, he nodded and said, "At least not for the time being."
"So now you-" Shikaru Nara coughed, with a questioning expression on his face.
"I am a follower of the crowd. Elders think they persuaded me for a long time, but in fact I agreed very quickly."
Sarutobi Kou put down the pen, raised his head, and said softly, "No matter how fierce the waves are, they will eventually merge into the place where she should go. In that place, she will find her own harbor, and she will only spin around in it, but never come out again."
