Peaceful time always passes quickly, and another period of time passes in the blink of an eye.
Kiyoshi is constantly refining and organizing what he has learned. When he has time, he will go to the exclusive laboratory to study Moryo Power.
During this period, Hiruzen Sarutobi approached him and asked him to join Anbu, and gave him Kiyoshi Anbu combat uniforms and Katana matching Anbu.
Kiyoshi declined, saying that it would be up to the clan leader to wait until Fugaku came back.
Hiruzen Sarutobi agreed to Kiyoshi's request, but did not take back the equipment.
The days once again fell into dullness.
This is not only the case within the village, the battle situation outside the village seems to be becoming more and more stable, and the front lines everywhere are shrinking and becoming condensed.
Everyone knows this is the calm before the storm.
The Shinobi World war will never end like this. Once it is launched, even those fighting factions cannot stop it. The new hatred bred by the war will push people to continue to attack.
Until the limit of what each country can bear is reached, it will either be annihilation or a truce.
The streets of Uchiha Compound seemed much bleaker.
Fallen leaves were flying on the ground, and occasionally a few tribesmen passed by the street, all in a hurry.
Recently, Uchiha has been suppressed more and more intensely.
Even Uchiha internally knew the reason. It seemed that the patriarch was hiding his strength.
Some senior people speculated that it was Wanhua Sharingan, but unfortunately the information sent back by Fugaku has been denying this.
"A secret meeting is being held today."
Fugaku returned to Konoha after a long journey, with a few wrinkles on his face.
"Fugaku Captain, why don't you take a day off first?"
Uchiha Yashiro was stunned.
They had been fighting outside for so long, and they had to attend a secret meeting just after they came back today.
"No, that's it."
Fugaku shook his head.
The top priority is that he needs to appease his clan members. If things go on like this, there will be internal complaints against him.
Sharingan's secret must never be revealed.
Once revealed, Uchiha will be feared and his weaknesses will be investigated.
Mangekyō Sharingan Being powerful is powerful, but it is a double-edged sword after all. Under high-intensity load, one can become completely blind in just ten days.
Only hiding it in your hands is the ultimate trump card.
"Yes."
Uchiha Yashiro nodded and immediately went out to make arrangements.
"Yakumi, I heard that Kiyoshi has been relied on by the village during this period, and the third generation also gave Kiyoshi Anbu clothes?"
Fugaku turned to look at Uchiha Yakumi and said.
Kiyoshi is more valued by the village than he thought.
Since the establishment of the village, no Uchiha has joined Anbu.
The only one Kagami Uchiha joined was the Hokage guard.
"Yes, Master Fugaku, but Kiyoshi has not agreed yet and seems to be waiting for you to make a decision."
Uchiha Yakumi said.
I am satisfied with Kiyoshi's approach.
No matter how kind the village is to Kiyoshi, he is still a Uchiha.
First is Uchiha, then Kiyoshi!
"This is an opportunity."
Fugaku said to himself.
Anbu is directly subordinate to Hokage and only obeys the orders of Hokage. No other department has the qualification to give orders.
Even the Root of the man Shimura Danzō belongs to the category Anbu.
"Fugaku, are you back?"
Mikoto got the news that Fugaku was back and quickly visited Fugaku.
"Yeah."
"Fugaku, you... are much older."
Mikoto was surprised to find that Fugaku had two more wrinkles on his face, which looked like tear troughs and nasolabial folds.
I don't know if it's because of the long years of war, the collective concern for the Uchiha Clan's future, or the recent slander against Fugaku by the village.
Some civilians also know that Fugaku hides his strength, making those heroes who go to death a joke.
There must be someone behind this.
But Mikoto doesn't know who it is.
She was like a small boat rocking on the sea, unable to see the whole picture.
"It's not important."
Fugaku ignored the topic of his age and asked instead:
"The third generation values Kiyoshi very much. How is the bond between Kiyoshi and the clan?"
Fugaku said.
The bond of a clan is an abstract concept, but in practice it means a deep relationship with certain people.
"A few, but not much."
Mikoto thought for a while and said.
Apart from her, Kiyoshi has only had contact with a few Uchiha.
And there is also the Uchiha that is not pleasing to the eyes of the Kiyoshi.
For example, Obito Uchiha, who is in the same class as Kiyoshi, seems to be at odds with Kiyoshi.
The specific reason Mikoto is not very clear. It is guessed that it is because of the little girl Rin Nohara.
Fortunately, the two of them had no conflicts and few verbal disputes.
"Is there any girl in the clan that he likes?"
Fugaku said again.
Kiyoshi is a bit older than his peers, and Ninja Academy was also transferred into the class back then.
Warring States Period is old enough to legally get married.
This custom has not changed within many ninja clans.
Hearing this, a trace of unnatural embarrassment flashed across Mikoto's face.
Fugaku's insight captured this point again, and asked Mikoto again.
"Yes, yes, but..."
Mikoto It's a bit hard to say, I don't know how to express it.
"This is a major event related to the clan. Only by marrying and raising the next generation in the clan can Kiyoshi be fully integrated into Uchiha."
Fugaku's tone was a little more serious.
Mikoto thought of how much Fugaku had worked for the clan, and hesitated for a while before speaking:
"He said it was me."
Fugaku frowned and was stunned for a moment.
Immediately, I felt that Mikoto was the gentle big sister that Kiyoshi first came into contact with. It is normal to miss her a little.
When you reach the age of marriage, you are still a child after all.
"In that case, you should have more contact with him, and let him see more women of the same age in the clan."
Fugaku said. "I'll leave this matter to you Mikoto."
"Okay, Fugaku."
Mikoto sighed inwardly.
Speaking of which, she had no choice but to move on.
It was okay not to be familiar with Kiyoshi at first, but after becoming familiar with Kiyoshi, Mikoto always felt that he was approaching Kiyoshi with a purpose.
Hearing that Mikoto agreed, Fugaku felt warm in his heart.
Every time he ordered something, Mikoto could complete it quickly.
If the war hadn't suddenly broken out, the two might have gotten married.
"When this war is over, I will definitely give you happiness, Mikoto."
Fugaku thought in his heart.
"Ninety-five percent."
Kiyoshi looked at the entry progress.
You can understand [Medical Jonin (Purple)] tomorrow.
He turned off Entry System, put on a new tea brick in the kitchen, made tea, and took the tea out.
Not only was he at home today, he also had a guest.
"Kiyoshi, this month's living expenses."
Mikoto took the tea and handed a small pile of money stored in an envelope to Kiyoshi.
"Thank you, Sister Mikoto."
Kiyoshi took it.
Today's Mikoto is not tied into a high ponytail at the back, but a low side ponytail, with her hair draped in front of her chest.
It's a very "dangerous" hairstyle.
This is usually a hairstyle that wives like to have.
The current Mikoto still lacks that charm.
Kiyoshi's eyes narrowed slightly. Of course, such a charm must be developed by oneself.
