Asuma took a deep breath, and then walked forward slowly.
The two mounds closest to him are larger than the others. There are no extra writings on the stone tablets in front of the mounds, only the names of two people, Fugaku Uchiha and Mikoto Uchiha.
Asuma knows that this is Mrs. Clan Head and Clan Head who used to be Uchiha Clan.
He continued to walk deeper, and then he saw Sarutobi Kou wearing white clothes. He had never seen her wearing white clothes, and he had never seen her look like that. She was so quiet and cold, just like the white frost in late autumn.
"Asuma?" Sarutobi Kou heard the voice not far away, turned around and saw his cousin.
"Ah, I went to your office to find you, and found out that Ms. Lu Yu is working for you."
"She said you were here and asked me to bring this bouquet of flowers and put them here for her."
"Then take it over." Sarutobi Kou snatched the flower from Asuma's hand and threw it casually in front of the small mound. There was already a bouquet of flowers there, pure white, arranged very straight and upright.
Next to the flower is a document signed by Hokage, appointing Uchiha Jie as Special Jonin. The signature Asuma at the end of the document is all too familiar. This is a document signed by his father himself.
Behind the document is a small stone tablet. The name of the owner of the hill is written on the stone tablet. Under the name, there is something a little more than the other Uchiha members. It was carved with a knife, a very simple smiley face.
"Okay, let's go back." She patted Asuma on the shoulder and urged.
Passing through the two largest mounds again, Asuma suddenly saw another figure dressed in white. She was not only wearing white clothes, but also wearing wooden clogs, with a Forehead Protector tied tightly to her forehead. Her eyes were also pure white, a short knife hung on her waist, and the scabbard was also pure white, and she held a pure white flower on her chest.
"Moon!" Sarutobi Kou waved his hand, but the pure white man just nodded slightly and passed by Asuma without saying anything more.
"She--"
"She no longer holds any position in the village recently. She has returned to the Hyuga Clan, working as a tutor for Hyuga Hiashi's little daughter and also as a bodyguard."
"It is said that Hyuga Hiashi's youngest daughter is also a little genius. She has been studying at the Ninja Academy at a young age. Gentle Fist is playing well. Although she is not comparable to Sasuke Uchiha, ordinary Ninja Academy students are no longer her match."
Asuma tilted his head and looked at the side face of Sarutobi Kou. After they left Uchiha Clan's clan, the smile appeared again on that face, and his voice became livelier and looked like before.
"What about you?" Asuma asked.
The two stopped at the downstairs of the Security Force building and did not go upstairs. Occasionally, members of Security Force passed by, but no one dared to come forward and disturb them.
"Me? What's wrong with me?" Sarutobi Kou avoided Asuma's sight, took the initiative to reach out and greeted a passing ninja.
"You and Uchiha Jie--" Asuma was silent for a while, and then said the name, very quickly, but very clearly. He also clearly felt that Sarutobi Kou's mood seemed to have undergone some imperceptible changes.
"He--" Sarutobi Kou's voice became very soft, low and slow.
"He is a very good man, a very idealistic man--"
Sarutobi Kou didn't need to organize his words, so he started talking nonchalantly.
"He has a nice smile, here, right here, each with a little dimple--"
Asuma listened quietly, and couldn't help but clasp his hands together very tightly. He wanted to run to Hokage Building, pat Hokage's table, and ask him loudly what was going on.
Maybe there really is something wrong with the Uchiha Clan, they may be preparing something that is not conducive to Konoha, or they may want to shake the authority of Hokage, but what does all this have to do with Uchiha Jie?
He is working on a mission outside the village with his cousin, serving Hokage and Konoha with all his heart.
But when he thought of his father's body, the fire in Asuma's heart couldn't help but dim a lot. Maybe his father was old and a little confused.
"Now then-" he asked again.
"Now?" Sarutobi Kou shook her head, no longer standing downstairs, but opened the door and walked into Security Force's building. As she walked, she said, "You know what kind of character I am. Now that I am the minister of Security Force, I will do a good job in this position. I will not think about anything else."
"Asuma, don't think too much. The more you think, the more troubles you will have. If those messy things fill your mind, you will never find peace."
"Hey, our minister is back?"
In the minister's office, Shikaru Nara wiped the snack residue on his face, stood up, returned the minister's chair to its owner, then waved his hand and left the room.
Sarutobi Kou sat down, pointed to the sofa beside her, and motioned for Asuma to sit on it too, and then she spoke quietly.
"I patted the table with the old man, and he told me that he didn't understand Will of Fire--"
"Actually, he knows Will of Fire better than anyone else. He knows exactly what it is--"
"If it can be made, it is Will of Fire. If it cannot be made, it is nothing."
"The old man has done it before. He was the first to step forward and stop Second Hokage from behind."
"But now he's old and can't do it anymore--"
Sarutobi Kou The gentle person laughed. There was no joy in the laughter, but full of sarcasm. Then she picked up the pen, pulled out another document from the pile, and began to process it.
"Okay, let's not talk about these things anymore, unless you are willing to help me process these files. Damn Lu Yu, have you really been fishing here without helping me process any files?"
She complained and no longer raised her head to look at Asuma, as if the words she just said were just floating clouds that would float to the ends of the earth and disappear when the wind blew.
She really doesn't want to discuss this kind of issue anymore. Acting is very tiring, and it's even more tiring when facing her tribe. She really hopes that day will come soon.
Of course Asuma did not choose to stay. He stood up and left Sarutobi Kou's office without saying a word.
It was already approaching the afternoon, and he did not go home. On the one hand, he was preparing to meet up with his former classmates for dinner together in the evening. On the other hand, he did not know how to face his father.
Maybe I should vent my dissatisfaction to him and then listen to him explain to me, or say nothing and wait for my father to take the initiative to tell the truth. Before that, I might find friends to understand the situation.
"Anko!" He searched for the location in his memory and found Anko's home.
