"?"
Samui, who was halfway there, looked at Kiyoshi in confusion.
But soon, Kiyoshi began to explain to her. This made Samui stare at Kiyoshi in shock.
Is he really from the Yotsuki and Uchiha clans?
No one in these two major clans has ever been known to do something like Kiyoshi.
…
"Hello, my companion had booked a seat here."
Kurenai looked at Atsui inside the sushi restaurant.
Atsui was carrying a large square plate filled with all kinds of sushi.
"The name?"
Atsui turned around and looked at a delinquent looking teenager and a fair-skinned woman.
"Kiyoshi, Uchiha Kiyoshi."
"Please follow me."
Atsui understood and led the way. He was also on his way to deliver food.
Knock!
Samui, who was eating "takeout", looked tense.
"You've arrived."
Kiyoshi smiled and adjusted his sitting posture.
"Yeah."
Kurenai nodded lightly.
She looked at the tablecloth that fell to the floor, feeling that the place was quite clean.
Speaking of which, she and Kiyoshi had first met when she had accidentally bumped into Kiyoshi's sushi, right?
It seemed that Kiyoshi had bought those Sushi from this store.
Kurenai thought as she sat down.
Samui, who was curled up under the table, secretly eating takeout, was nervous.
Her ears twitched and she then saw a pair of legs under the tablecloth. She quickly moved her body.
Before long, another pair of legs appeared.
Samui could only squeeze into the middle, close to Kiyoshi's legs.
"Come on, try it and see if it suits your taste." Kiyoshi said.
"Atsui, do you want to sit down and eat together?"
"No, you are the guests."
Atsui scratched his head and said.
Samui, who was very nervous, subconsciously sped up and quickly devoured the "takeout".
...
Hokage Building
"People from the Land of Water have appeared near the border, and someone must be sent to defend it."
Sarutobi Hiruzen put down a report with a gloomy face.
This was the report he had just received.
And a few hours ago, there was another explosive piece of news.
The Wmwar has begun!
Due to the disappearance of the Third Kazekage, the Land of Lightning had taken advantage of the situation to rob and raid the Land of Wind, and declared war on the Land of Earth.
In just one day, Kumogakure's troops had invaded the Land of Wind and occupied a part of the land.
Now Sunagakure is in a mess, and urgently needs a leader to stabilize order and take back the occupied land.
But before the Land of Lightning had attacked, there was the restless Land of Water.
The Land of Fire is the most abundant and fertile land among the five great countries.
It can be said that no country does not want to obtain such unique geographical resources from the Land of Fire.
Correspondingly, the Land of Fire attracts a lot of covetousness.
If it weren't for the First Hokage back then, Konoha would not have been able to build a village in the middle of the Land of Fire.
"Let the Uchiha go." Danzo said.
The Third Great Ninja War has already begun, so they should make use of the Uchiha.
Anyway, those guys gets stronger the more pain they suffer, so they can be used as war consumables.
As long as a person like Madara does not appear, things won't get out of control.
"I agree."
Homura pushed his glasses, his expression solemn.
Kirigakure has already clashed with the soldiers and ninjas guarding the border, and there are signs of attacking the interior of the Land of Fire.
They must be pushed outward and the battle should take place in other countries.
Otherwise, with the destructive power of ninjas, it will likely cause irreversible damage to the fertile land of the Land of Fire and change the terrain.
"Koharu, what about you?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Koharu and asked.
He is the Hokage, but these Hokage advisors also have enormous power. In matters of such importance, everyone must be in agreement.
"I also agree."
Koharu said.
"Okay, but let's add the Hyuga clan as well."
…
Afternoon
Hyuga Clan Estate
Hiashi frowned tightly.
The war has begun.
The Hyuga clan has always been a clan that seeks stability, so although they are a large clan with one of the three great dojutsu like the Uchiha, their reputation is much better.
"This is the list for this time."
Hiashi handed it to a branch house member at random and asked her to distribute it.
The list inside was the mobilization list he had compiled as soon as he had received the news.
It includes both the main house and the branch house members.
The advantage of the branch house is that their Byakugan can't be stolen.
The advantage of the main house is that their combat power is generally stronger than that of the branch house, but their population is much smaller.
"I also... have to go to the battlefield?"
Tetsu looked at Asuka who was handing him a list and felt his legs tremble.
If he really goes to war, then nothing can be said for sure.
Apart from Tetsu's face showing anxiety and fear about the future, the other Hyuga clansmen who had received the list were the same.
"Hiashi-sama, have you made a mistake? I also have to go to the battlefield?"
Ginka was stunned when she received the list.
Her fiancé has been stationed on the border all year round.
Why should she, a woman, go to the battlefield?
"The vanguard is the Uchiha. We only need to provide assistance and collect intelligence, and use the Byakugan for reconnaissance and perception."
Hiashi glanced at Ginka and said.
Every family has some freeloaders. There is no doubt that Ginka is one of them.
But she is from the main family and has also been a ninja. No matter how slack she is, her skill with the Byakugan is greater than that of branch house members.
"...Yes."
Looking at Hiashi's majestic face, Ginka did not dare to continue to refute and lowered her head.
"By the way, our clan is now fighting side by side with the Uchiha. So we must change our previous policies and try to build a good relationship with the Uchiha." Hiashi said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, cold sweat broke out on the back of Ginka's neck.
The hands in her wide sleeves were already clenched. Kiyoshi had not yet forgiven her.
If the incident with Kiyoshi is revealed, will the clan leader severely punish her in order to express his friendship with the Uchiha?
At the same time, she can be used as a warning to show the other clansmen who are dissatisfied but dare not express it.
The most effective and severe punishment, of course, is the Caged Bird Curse Seal, stripping away the identity of being part of the main family.
"Do you have a feud with the Uchiha?"
Seeing that Ginka's lips were a little pale, Hiashi asked.
Considering her usual behavior, there might really be such a thing.
"No, no, clan leader, how could I do such a brainless thing?" Ginka repeatedly denied.
Hiashi stared at Ginka suspiciously, as if thinking about whether it was really as she had said.
"Cough cough... Hiashi, I want to go too."
A sickly beauty coughed lightly twice.
"Hinazuki, you don't have to go."
Hiashi looked at Hinazuki with heartache.
Ninjas can also get sick. In particular, ninjas with Kekkei genkais are more likely to get sick.
It is called Kekkei genkai disease, and it is different depending on the ability of the Kekkei genkai.
