Shisui had a real headache on his hands.
If he had a choice, he genuinely wouldn't have taken this job. After all, no one would willingly do something that underhanded, let alone someone as thin-skinned as him.
Yet no one else could actually do it.
So Shisui could only resign himself to his fate and nod. "All right, I understand."
"I'll catch up on some sleep first. I'll get started when I wake up tomorrow."
Yan Uchiha nodded in agreement.
He could tell that Shisui had exhausted every last ounce of strength to get back as quickly as possible. Since they had more or less settled everything, there was no point dragging things out. Their discussion ended there.
Everyone soon went their separate ways.
Shisui, however, didn't return to his own home. He was already dead tired, so he simply stayed in Fugaku's guest room.
Before Yan Uchiha left, Shibi Aburame suddenly approached him.
"Jin, I wanted to ask you something." Shibi Aburame looked serious. "Ryoma is still at the Front Lines. Does he have another assignment there?"
Yan Uchiha: "..."
He froze on the spot.
If Shibi Aburame hadn't reminded him, he really wouldn't have remembered that Aburame Ryoma even existed.
Ever since returning from the Front Lines, he had felt as though he had forgotten something. Only now did he finally realize what it was.
Faced with Shibi Aburame's question, Yan Uchiha felt unusually embarrassed. After struggling for a while, he finally said awkwardly, "Well... sorry, Aburame Clan Head."
"I forgot about that before I left."
"If you hadn't come to ask, I probably wouldn't have remembered tomorrow either."
After hearing his explanation, the solemn look on Shibi Aburame's face gradually faded, giving way to his usual calm expression.
So that was what had happened.
It wasn't surprising,
