Hiruzen Sarutobi has not had a good night's sleep for a long time, but tonight, he fell asleep with a smile. His son finally returned to his side. For an older father, there is nothing better than this.
But he was not only an older father, he was also Hokage, the Clan Head of the Sarutobi Clan. The news of his son's return spread throughout Konoha the next day.
Not many people knew the news originally, but Anko's loud voice told everyone that she planned to invite some good friends to hold a cocktail party to cleanse Asuma.
This is the most common interaction between friends. There is no intrigue or intrigue, no comparison or showing off, just everyone getting together to drink and talk.
Asuma talks to everyone about his experience working as a errand for Daimyo, and the guys in the village also talk about their experiences in the village or when they go out on missions. It is a very happy thing.
But family gatherings were not so pleasant, and Hiruzen Sarutobi even thought that his son's return to Konoha would not make him happy anymore.
Early the next morning, several Elder members of the family came and blocked his door before he went to Hokage Building.
Hokage's house had its door blocked, which had never happened before in the village. But when they saw the person blocking the door, everyone felt relieved.
"Hiruzen, I heard that Asuma is back?" Three Elder stood at the front of the team, facing Third Hokage.
"What do you want to do?" Third Hokage did not answer, but frowned and looked at the group of tribesmen who surrounded him. "Didn't you hear that Asuma is back? Everyone just misses him and wants to chat with him and reminisce about old times." Three Elder explained with a smile.
But Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't believe his explanation at all. Why didn't he know that Elder and his son had such a good relationship?
However, the Elders also knew how to cover it up, and brought along several people of the same generation as Asuma from the family, which can be regarded as confirming the statement of the three Elders.
Anbu had appeared on the roof not far away and made a few simple gestures. The gestures did not mean that there was any emergency in the village, but that Hokage Office's files were once again piling up and needed to be dealt with. For Hokage, this situation was considered an emergency.
"I'm busy with business today, let's wait another day." Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head, and the crowd consciously made way for him.
But Asuma hadn't left yet, and the tribesmen led by three Elder didn't just leave.
In other words, their purpose is Asuma.
"Uh, three Elder?"
The sun was getting ready, and it was almost noon. Asuma just finished breakfast and stepped out of the house.
He slept soundly and comfortably last night, and even dreamed of being red. As soon as he went out today, he was going to meet his lover whom he hadn't seen for a long time and get together with old friends. But as soon as he went out, he saw San Elder's old face.
"Ah, I heard Xiaoliang say yesterday that you are back -"
Although Asuma Sarutobi once resisted his father very much, he did not resist Elder and other clan members in the family, and even had a good relationship with him.
Now they gathered so many people to welcome themselves, even the Elders came.
He still feels very happy. Maybe he can put aside the gathering with friends for a while, have lunch and drink tea with his family first, and talk about his experiences during this period.
Also talk about his father, especially the things that Er Elder told him yesterday, the things that he didn't dare to ask about his father.
However, things were not as simple as he imagined. In previous family gatherings, he did not sit at the children's table, but always sat with his peers, but this time it was different.
Unknowingly, he sat down at the same table with the Elders. Normally, this seat belonged to either the oldest Elder or his father, but now he was sitting on it, feeling like he was sitting on pins and needles.
And after looking around, Sarutobi Kou, who had a good relationship with him in the family, did not come.
"Where is Sister Huang? Do we have to wait for her?" Asuma asked cautiously.
"She, she is as busy as your father now..." San Elder smiled, lit a cigarette for himself, and handed another one to Asuma.
"You should know that she took over Security Force from Konoha, recruited a group of civilian ninjas, and supported a group of people from the family, so that she could barely maintain operations."
"In the beginning, she was barely able to deal with disputes between civilians, but now it is finally officially functioning. She now has less time to return to the clan..."
"What's more, something like that happened..." San Elder's voice suddenly dropped. He took a deep breath, and then blew it out along with the smoke.
"What happened?" Asuma asked curiously.
"You were not at Konoha during this period, so you probably don't know about Xiaohuang's situation, hey..." San Elder sighed and continued, "You should know that when she first became Special Jonin, she became the captain. She should have told you about those three team members."
"Well, she once wrote to me and complained..." Asuma nodded, he knew this information.
"She fell in love with that Uchiha..." San Elder said slowly.
"What did you say!" Asuma's eyes widened, but he found that every Elder nodded gently, even his peers on the table next to him were also nodding.
Naturally, the tribesmen would not lie to him about this kind of thing, but this incident really surprised him.
"She never told me!" He said, "That Uchiha, is it Uchiha Jie?"
"Yes..." San Elder nodded.
"That's Uchiha Jie, the one who is well-known in the village. He is neither arrogant nor bullying the weak. The smiling Uchiha who is loved by many people..."
Asuma nodded, of course he knew who Uchiha Jie was. Uchiha Jie was one of the few Uchihas in the village who was very popular with the villagers, but wasn't he a member of Huangmei's team? How...
"How did Xiaohuang fall in love with that Uchiha? You may have to ask her yourself, but..." San Elder's voice was still low, as if there was a trace of guilt and a trace of sadness. All these feelings were seen by Asuma.
He was not just a wooden fish. He immediately thought of the big events that had happened in Konoha. The news spread throughout Shinobi World, and no one knew about the big events.
Uchiha Clan was wiped out by Uchiha Itachi alone, and only Sasuke Uchiha was left in the clan. So Uchiha, who loved to laugh, must have died in that incident.
Sister Huang...
He couldn't help but clenched his fists.
