As he walked through Konoha's streets, peace had already returned to the village. People thronged the streets, and plenty of customers browsed the goods in the shops lining them.
Returning from the war to such a sight immediately lifted Uchiha Shunichi's spirits.
Sometimes, no matter how powerful someone was, seeing so many human corpses would hardly make them happy. Uchiha Shunichi was no sicko, after all. How could he possibly enjoy the atmosphere of a battlefield?
But sometimes, living in this cruel world meant he had no choice but to witness its cruelty.
He chose a barbecue restaurant he used to frequent. The moment he entered, the owner greeted him warmly, while the customers around him looked at Uchiha Shunichi with admiration.
It seemed this war had spread his fame even further. Although he no longer had much need for it, being a celebrity wasn't a bad feeling.
Uchiha Shunichi didn't have to wait long before the meat was served. Its aroma made him swallow despite not being hungry.
The meat at this restaurant was exceptionally fresh, and the seasoning was just right. That was why Uchiha Shunichi liked coming here.
With Karin tending to him, Uchiha Shunichi thoroughly enjoyed his meal. Although he didn't eat enough for dozens of people as he had long ago, his appetite still far exceeded an ordinary person's.
If the time it took to grill the meat hadn't limited his eating speed, he probably would have eaten even faster!
Once he had eaten and drunk his fill, an Anbu appeared before Uchiha Shunichi.
The sight of that mask immediately told Uchiha Shunichi that his teacher, the Hokage, wanted to see him.
Sure enough, the Anbu bowed to him before speaking. "Lord Shunichi, Lord Hokage wishes to see you..."
"Mm, understood. I'll head over now..."
