Just then, the sound of high heels clicking on the tiled floor rang out.
Just as Uchiha Kō was about to light a cigarette, a voice rang out, "Uchiha Kō!!! How many cigarettes have you smoked already! I've told you so many times, that stuff is harmful to your health, but you just won't listen!"
Uchiha Kō shuddered at the words, his hand trembled, and the cigarette fell to the ground with a clatter. He put the lighter back on, the flame went out, and a shy smile appeared on his face. "Honey, wife, you're still awake? Cough cough, you know, there's an operation tonight, so I've been waiting... so..."
"So you just smoke, huh! Humph! You're just like that heavy smoker Teacher Sarutobi! All you do is smoke!" Tsunade forward, extending her delicate hand, her stubborn little face pouting as she looked at Uchiha Kō.
Uchiha Itachi stood to the side, his head bowed as low as he could, afraid he would burst out laughing. At the same time, he had made up his mind that this was the primary target he would conquer from now on.
Uchiha Kō sighed and pulled a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. Tsunade didn't leave. Uchiha Kō's lips twitched, and he pulled another pack from his other pocket.
Tsunade nodded in satisfaction and was about to leave when she snorted. However, a sly glint flashed in Uchiha Kō's eyes, and he smugly showed off his slippers to Uchiha Itachi.
Uchiha Itachi's pupils contracted as he clearly saw a groove on the bottom of Uchiha Kō's slippers. He then cast a Genjutsu, pulling the old lady into the Genjutsu space. "Grandma, Grandpa's slippers have a groove."
After he finished speaking, everything returned to normal, as if nothing had happened. However, Uchiha Kō sensed the Genjutsu fluctuations from Uchiha Itachi just now, and he was about to ask Uchiha Itachi what he had done.
Tsunade turned around with an unfriendly expression, shoved Uchiha Kō to the ground, and then took off his slippers. Uchiha Kō in surprise, "Wait a minute!"
Tsunade, and with a clatter, a metal box opened, revealing twenty cigarettes neatly arranged inside one of her feet.
"It's over! It's all over!" Uchiha Kō clutched his head in his hands, puzzled. Tsunade was clearly about to leave, so why did she turn around and take off his shoes?
Recognizing that the Yin Release Chakra fluctuations just now originated from Uchiha Itachi, he was furious. Staring at Uchiha Itachi, who was bowing at a ninety-degree angle, he was about to make a move.
Tsunade then exclaimed, "Uchiha Kō, you've got guts!"
He froze, then turned to his wife Tsunade. "Um, honey, let me explain!"
Then, Tsunade asked, "Itachi, how did the report go?"
Uchiha Itachi replied without hesitation, "The report is complete!"
"Then you should go back first! Your master and I still have some things to take care of!" Tsunade's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
"Yes, I'm leaving now!" With that, Uchiha Kō turned around and walked towards the villa entrance without looking back.
"No! Itachi, actually, I think you still have some things to report. How about you stay a little longer?" Uchiha Kō's eyes were pleading.
Uchiha Itachi stopped in his tracks. Seeing this, Uchiha Kō was almost jumping up in excitement, but Uchiha Itachi said with a serious expression, "Lord Hokage, I will write up the rest of the matter and send it to your home tomorrow!"
After saying that, he opened the villa door, click, boom! He turned and left, as if he had made up his mind!
Uchiha Kō's lips twitched, he swallowed hard, and stiffly turned to Tsunade. "Wife, let me explain!"
Tsunade snorted coldly, dragged him by the foot, pulled him into the bedroom on the first floor, and then closed the door!
First came a scream from Uchiha Kō, followed by Tsunade's seductive music. It didn't end until the next morning when Uchiha Kō, leaning against the wall, walked out.
Tsunade was asleep. Uchiha Kō took out a cigarette, lit it, took a drag, and looked up at the sky. "The hardest thing to bear is the kindness of a beautiful woman!"
Initially, Tsunade used her fists to persuade Uchiha Kō, but not long after, Uchiha Kō persuaded (or slept with) Tsunade, thus resolving the crisis; otherwise, it would have been very dangerous!
"Very well, Uchiha Itachi, you betrayed your grandmaster, very well. It seems the training intensity needs to be increased! It looks like your Kage Level certificate will have to be delayed for another two years."
"Although you're strong enough, you still need to hone your skills!" Uchiha Kō was thinking about how to hold Uchiha Itachi back.
As a result, Uchiha Itachi delivered the letter via crow. The letter detailed the entire operation, from beginning to end, and included a summary. After reading it, Uchiha Kō sighed and abandoned his plan to block Uchiha Itachi's hand.
This kid is a talent. The sooner he obtains the Kage Level certificate, the sooner he can access deeper missions and contribute to Konoha.
Uchiha Itachi's crow also brought an extra piece of paper, clearly waiting for Uchiha Kō's approval.
Uchiha Kō simply wrote six words: "Well handled, execute."
Then he folded the letter, stamped it, and sent it back with the crow.
Uchiha Kō watched the direction the crow had gone, his mind preoccupied with other matters.
Let's not push the Third Raikage too hard just yet. Although Konoha's strength isn't afraid of him, if that old guy comes to Konoha to cause trouble before he dies, it will still be a rather troublesome matter.
He predicted that the Third Raikage, nearing the end of his life, would certainly not be willing to die in bed, and would most likely try to die on the battlefield, and most likely, would head towards Iwagakure.
The Third Raikage also knew that Konoha had no ambition to annex Kumogakure, while Iwagakure was still determined to take it. Although Ōnoki was old, don't forget that he was a long-lived old man who could live to see Boruto: Naruto Next Generations!
The Iwagakure's Ōnoki is still in his prime! Facing such an enemy, he doesn't want Ōnoki to come after him after he dies!
Originally, Kumogakure could rely on Konoha to limit Iwagakure's ambitions for expansion, but Kumogakure's series of actions have disgusted Konoha, and they have been abandoned by them!
Therefore, Uchiha Kō guessed that the day the Third Raikage died would be the day when the Kumogakure and the Iwagakure would break out into war. At that time, Ōnoki would definitely ask him for help. So, should he agree or sit back and watch the two tigers fight?
Actually, the latter is in Konoha's best interest, but the last time the Cloud Mist Army attacked Konoha, the Iwagakure helped them. If they didn't help, wouldn't it be too unethical?
"Fine, if that day really comes, I'll personally take action to protect Iwagakure once and prevent their army from being wiped out."
"As for their desire to annex Kumogakure, it won't be that easy." Uchiha Kō mentally calculated the future, and after making up his mind, he stood up.
Then I heard footsteps coming from upstairs. It was Rou Rou!
Uchiha Kō's eyes lit up. He immediately stubbed out his cigarette, then got up and walked towards the stairwell. "Rou Rou, you're awake! Are you hungry? Daddy will make you breakfast now."
Uchiha Rou twitched her nose, then frowned and said, "Dad! You're smoking again! It smells awful!" As she spoke, Uchiha Rou pouted and fanned herself.
Uchiha Kō coughed twice. "Ahem, there was a special operation in the Kamimura, which your father led. He couldn't sleep, so he smoked two cigarettes!"
"Hmm? An operation! Isn't Itachi-nii also involved?!" She suddenly remembered that her father had pulled Itachi-nii into the study and talked to him for a long time!
"Yes, Itachi not only completed the mission this time, but he did it impeccably. He's truly a trustworthy junior!" Uchiha Kō expressed his opinion of Itachi.
That's just the kind of person he is; when it's time to praise, he's generous with his praise, and when it's time to criticize, he doesn't hold back.
Hearing her father praise Uchiha Itachi Uchiha Rou and said, "Dad, I'm hungry! I want a love-filled bento box, and two of them!"
"Hmm? Two portions? Rou Rou, can you finish them?" Uchiha Kō asked in confusion. The bento he made was based on Uchiha Rou's appetite.
Both boys barely managed to finish their meals, but Uchiha Rou ate every last one, and the amazing thing is she didn't gain weight!
"Who said it was all for me? There's also Itachi's portion. He worked so hard on his mission last night, he definitely didn't eat properly! He has class today, so I have to bring him some. Besides, Dad, you're his boss, you have to show him some respect, right?" Uchiha Rou snorted.
Uchiha Kō's lips twitched. He didn't understand why Uchiha Itachi and his daughter had such a good relationship!
However, he didn't think too much about it. After all, his daughter hadn't met many people. From childhood to adulthood, Uchiha Itachi had always taken her out to play. Maybe it was just childhood friendship at play!
So what if we're childhood sweethearts? It doesn't mean we'll get married. Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. I'll just make two!
After successfully hypnotizing himself, Uchiha Kō began making bento boxes, while Uchiha Rou sat on the sofa, scrolling through her phone and looking at recent events.
She also checked last night's operation but found nothing, so it seemed to be a classified mission with the news being blocked.
The little girl couldn't help but envy Uchiha Itachi. "No wonder he's the number one among the younger Uchiha Clan! At only 13 years old, he's already capable of carrying out classified missions!"
The little girl started scrolling through her phone again, looking at the list of male idols. Uchiha Kō's name was at the top, and the comments below were all things like "the strongest, the most handsome, the most awesome."
Uchiha Rou pouted. It wasn't as good as they said. Her father was clearly just an ordinary person!
However, she didn't look at her father's comment section for long before she came to the comment section of Uchiha Itachi, who was ranked third. The comments there were all saying things like "the most handsome noble young master," "young and powerful," and so on.
Uchiha Rou silently gave a thumbs up, and then she smelled a delicious aroma. She recognized it all too well—it was her father's lovingly made bento box, both delicious and beautiful!
"Dad!" Uchiha Rou stood obediently at the kitchen door. Uchiha Kō smiled and said, "Wait a little longer, Rou Rou."
"Mmm!" Uchiha Rou nodded and continued to wait. Soon after, two bento boxes were prepared and handed to Uchiha Rou.
Uchiha Kō asked, "Is it heavy?" His eyes showed a hint of heartache.
