🕑 Added 2023-09-23 10:51:31 +0000 UTCChapter 107 Uchiha Tenjin (2) ; Little +18
After the maid prepared the tea, she went down. Only Shiraishi, Uchiha Tenjin, and the Uchiha Jonin guard were left in the living room.
After Uchiha Tenjin finished his tea, he looked around the living room, and then said: "There is no obvious change here between now and the past. Since childhood, Ruri has been a rather special child. How, getting along with her is sometimes difficult, right?"
He had a friendly smile on his face.
"I don't find it particularly difficult."
After Shiraishi finished speaking, he secretly observed the Uchiha Tenjin.
Wearing an out-of-trend but well-crafted black kimono, with white hair, obvious wrinkles and a thin face, with a beard under his chin.
The body type should be regarded as a relatively thin type, and the body is also a bit rickety, but what gives people is not full of scars, but a majestic and awe-inspiring aura.
When he was young, he must have been a seasoned ninja.
Even though he is retired now, the majesty that belongs to the elite ninja has become more and more precipitated at this age, making him appear extraordinary.
"Elder Tenjin came to see Ruri for something?"
"It's not an important thing. I haven't been out shopping for a long time. I happened to pass by here today, so I came in to have a look."
Elder Tenjin said casually.
Because Shiraishi didn't know this elder Tenjin, he wasn't sure if he really came here to wander around.
It's just that this reason is quite reasonable, and people can't see the flaws.
However, he heard from Ruri before that this Elder Tenjin is the radical leader of the Uchiha clan, and his status in the Uchiha clan is even higher than the patriarch.
It is said that he used to be a follower of Uchiha Madara. Since the death of the second Hokage Senju Tobirama, the Hokage family headed by the third Hokage is also very afraid of the old man's ability.
Although on the surface, this is just a reclusive old man who used to be majestic, but now retreats to the second line and doesn't care about world affairs.
As for Elder Tenjin's chatty questions, Shiraishi just answered them one by one. Anyway, he is also Ruri's mentor, so he can't be neglected easily.
"Have you ever considered getting married?"
Elder Tenjin asked suddenly, as if it was just the same as before, just a casual conversation.
"ah?"
Shiraishi froze for a moment.
This kind of question didn't surprise him, but it made him feel weird when he raised such a thing suddenly.
"Young people today don't know why they have become so strict. In our era, as long as both parties saw it, they were basically married in the first or second year."
Elder Tenjin seemed to be complaining.
Shiraishi smiled awkwardly.
"You two will be eighteen years old after this year. It's time to think about marriage. Ninja is a highly dangerous profession. It's not surprising that you die at any time. It's better to leave offspring (child) earlier."
Elder Tenjin chanted in such a low voice, he was no different from an ordinary old man who was anxious to hug his grandson.
These kinds of words seem to be cursing others to die, which is really unlucky. Shiraishi complained in his heart.
But because the other party is an elder, Shiraishi can only complain in his heart.
"Well, I will seriously consider it with Ruri."
Elder Tenjin laughed in satisfaction and continued drinking tea.
"Okay, it's almost time, I should go too."
"So soon? Why don't you stay for dinner?"
Shiraishi followed Elder Tenjin to stand up and asked him to have dinner here.
"Don't be so troublesome. I just wanted to go out for a walk and see if the current village is different from before. When people get old, they become obsessed with the things in the past."
Shiraishi could only nod in agreement.
In front of this Elder Tenjin, even the third Hokage would call himself a junior, let alone a new generation of ninjas like Shiraishi.
It’s just the thought of worrying about the affairs of the Uchiha clan at such an age, and also serving as the leader of the radical Uchiha faction. This Elder Tenjin may not be as weak as he appears on the surface, at least the ambition of his youth has not been extinguished in his heart.
Shiraishi stays at the door, and Elder Tenjin continues to walk forward with the Uchiha Jonin guards beside him. He didn't go back the same way, did he really come out for a walk?
Shiraishi stood at the door thinking, he really couldn't figure out what the elder Tenjin was thinking, anyway, it had nothing to do with him, and there was no need to be obsessed with such things.
"Do you really want to do this? Elder Tenjin?"
On the way forward, the Jounin guard beside Elder Tenjin couldn't help asking.
"Kenji, this is the only way out for the Uchiha clan now."
The friendly smile on Elder Tenjin's face disappeared and became extremely deep and indifferent.
"If Ruri finds out, you will die. You should know better than me what kind of person she is."
"For the younger and more vigorous Uchiha flames, my old bones are still useful at this age, shouldn't I feel lucky?"
Uchiha Kenji sighed.
That's right, as Ruri's mentor, how could Elder Tenjin not understand Ruri's character.
He understood this and that is why He made the decision to sacrifice himself to protect the clan.
"The current Uchiha clan is just like me walking on this road. Senju Tobirama has forced our clan to only take this road."
The old man, who is very old, walks on a road that is solemnly covered by the night, and cannot see the light.
"But the third Hokage is working hard to restore the relationship between the village and our clan."
Kenji's face was a bit unbearable.
The Elder Tenjin at this age should have enjoyed his old age peacefully, instead of continuing to fight in the political arena, sacrificing his own life, to light the way forward for the clan.
"It's just a bird of a feather. The brat Sarutobi Hiruzen is either thinking of a solution, or in the process of finding a solution. It is never possible to get a definite answer from him. Sooner or later, Uchiha will be ruined by his hesitant political stance of "finding a way". The decisiveness and responsibility of being Hokage, But his far worse than those of Senju Tobirama."
Elder Tenjin snorted coldly.
Kenji became silent.
He thought of the conflict between Roots and Ruri a few years ago.
He thought of many things earlier.
Hokage maintains a balance every time, but some things that involve the principles of the village are obviously not allowed to be tolerated, and a balance must be carried out.
As Elder Tenjin said, you can trust Sarutobi Hiruzen's loyalty to Konoha and his love for the whole village, but you can't trust his ability to govern(Rule).
The root can be said to be the darkness born under his connivance and hesitation.
"Uchiha's way forward is to save himself, don't pin the hope of the clan on outsiders. Uchiha's men and women, even if they die, They can only die on the battlefield. Let's go, Kenji."
•••
Late, 10 at night.
"Are you back? It's hard to perform missions outside, come over and eat quickly, it will be cold if you don't eat."
At the dining table, Shiraishi has already set up the dishes, waiting for Ruri to come over to have dinner together.
Ruri didn't say anything, just sat at the dining table as usual, having dinner with Shiraishi.
"How about today's task?"
"It's a very common C-level task. Next year, I will take the three little ghosts to take the Chunin exam. As long as they pass, we can go to perform A-level tasks. There is no fun in C-level tasks."
When Shiraishi heard Ruri say this, he could only express his silent condolences for the three ninjas in Ruri's team.
C-level and D-level tasks will not involve ninja battles, but starting from B-level tasks, the difficulty of the task will increase qualitatively, and you will encounter battles between ninjas.
As for the A-level mission, you will encounter enemies at the jonin level, and if you are not careful, you will fail and lead the entire squad to annihilation.
Chunin is indeed qualified to accept B-level and A-level tasks.
Generally speaking, when a team member has just become a Chunin, the leader will carefully choose B-level tasks, accumulate experience, and then perform A-level tasks.
But Shiraishi thought that with Ruri's temperament, after the three genin in the team became Chunin, They would probably start accumulating experience directly from A-level tasks.
Compared to other jounin team leaders, Ruri prefers to have fun for herself.
A-level tasks are indeed much more interesting than B-level and C-level tasks, although for new Chunin, they may die at any time.
No matter how bad a Jounin is, he can still crush and crush a Chunin ninja.
There is a huge gap between each level of ninja.
"By the way, Elder Tenjin came to see you today. Since you were not at home. He drank a cup of tea here and left."
Shiraishi thought of something, and told Ruri about the elder Tenjin's visit here in the evening.
"Elder Tenjin?"
Ruri paused while eating, then frowned.
"Why aren't you happy? I remember that he once taught you various ninja fighting skills. Do you respect him?"
"He is just a rotten old man who is dying."
Ruri snorted coldly.
"That's really rude."
"He came here, did he say anything harsh to you?"
Ruri's eyes showed dissatisfaction.
Now the important positions in the Uchiha clan are holded by the radical ninjas, and the Uchiha tenjin is the leader of the Uchiha radical.
In her eyes, all the radicals have brain problems.
They are very passionate about the power of the village, as if they think that only by becoming Hokage is the only way to save the Uchiha clan.
Indulging in the glory of the past, it can be said that it is a combination of force and arrogance, except for the stupid guys who have no brains.
Although Ruri didn't make a clear distinction with them, she also knew that she couldn't blend into that atmosphere.
My own strength and thinking are incompatible with their environment.
Even Elder Tenjin, she hasn't seen him for a long time.
Even though Elder Tenjin has the method to open the Mangekyō Sharingan, she doesn't want to meet people who make her dissatisfied.
And I have practiced the sage mode, how about the Mangekyō Sharingan, whether I need it, and I am not so keen on this legendary pupil technique.
What's more, after practicing Sage Art, Ruri felt that she could calm down a lot and think about problems with a calm mind.
Of course, there are moments when I can’t calm down.
Thinking of this, Ruri stared at Shiraishi with displeased eyes, and took two mouthfuls of food.
Shiraishi looked blank, wondering what he did which made her angry again?
Could it be because when we hugged two days ago, we missed 30 seconds of kissing?
How about making it up tonight?
"How come, he just came to see you, I think he is a very kind old man."
Shiraishi told the truth.
According to Ayane, the elders of the Hyuga clan are always behaving very rigid and mean, which makes her feel very bored, but she must always keep a smile on her face.
After such a comparison, Shiraishi found that although the elder Tenjin held an important position in the Uchiha clan, he had a good personality, and he did not object to the matter between him and Ruri, but rather agreed with it.
What an enlightened elder.
"Don't be fooled by his kind appearance. His political skills are even more terrifying than those of the third Hokage. I have no idea what he is thinking and what he is plotting. In short, be careful."
Ruri has a serious expression.
"It's not that scary, is it?"
"He is a hardliner who can chat with you happily one second, and deal with you with a smile the next second. He is an old guy who is extremely cold-blooded. He has already made a decision in his heart about what is useful and useless in the family."
Shiraishi was a little surprised to hear Ruri comment on that kind and friendly Elder Tenjin.
"In the early years, many Uchiha people opposed him becoming the leader of the radical faction. However, within a few years, he was the only voice left in the Uchiha family. Those people who voted against him are now gone. They either died during the mission or disappeared mysteriously. Among the Uchiha clan, he is the most feared guy by the Hokage faction."
"Yeah?"
Knowing that Ruri will not exaggerate, from this point of view, that Elder Tenjin is really a remarkable person.
After all, the other party has also gone through the Warring States Period, Konoha established the era, survived the era of the death of the first and second Hokage, until now the third Hokage is in power, and he is still alive.
It is not an exaggeration to call him a witness of the times.
But... What does this have to do with him?
I am the man who is going to marry the genius of their family. No matter what, he won’t try to do something bad to me, right?
Thinking of it this way, Shiraishi felt much more at ease.
•••
December passed quickly, and it was time for January.
Because of the arrival of the New Year Festival, Konoha Village began to become lively.
The task work in the hands of the ninjas stopped, and only the ninjas with special occupations were still working overtime on their posts.
Many of the Konoha ninjas defending the national border returned to the village for the New Year.
However, the sand village is still calm, and there is no consciousness of starting a war.
If it wasn’t for Aster Flower Company’s orders, there are a lot of medical supplies that the sand village purchased. Even now, Sand Village is still asking Aster Flower Company to step up the production of medical supplies, not only medicines, but also medical gauze, medical cotton, bandages, etc. Shiraishi doubts whether Sand Village has given up the idea of attacking the Land of Fire.
Could it be said that Sand Village also wants to celebrate the new year happily, hold a lively New Year festival, and then start the war after the year?
Thinking about it this way, the third Kazekage-dono seems quite humane.
It’s like not wanting to see blood during the New Year, after all, the signs of war during the New Year are ominous.
On the night of the Konoha New Year Festival.
"How about it?"
After changing into her kimono, Ruri turned around gently, showing her beautiful figure to Shiraishi.
The black satin-like long hair is flying, the light blue kimono is fresh and elegant, with some beautiful and bright patterns printed on it, and the moon-white silk ribbon around the waist is tied into a bow at the back, which adds a little more. The points are agile, there is no usual indifference, and the eyes are much gentler.
"It's beautiful."
Shiraishi replied with a little dazed.
It seems that leaving Konoha after the New Year is also a good choice.
It's just how to explain to Ruri, and choose when to confess... Shiraishi has even more headaches.
Obviously I am not a hesitant person, why did I lose the chain at this critical moment?
Holding Ruri's hand, he walked out of the Uchiha clan.
When I arrived at the commercial street in the village, there was a sea of people in front of me.
Compared with the name of the village, Shiraishi prefers to use the word town to describe the size of Konoha Village.
They bought some barbecue from a barbecue stand, and They it ate while walking, but openly played with each other on the street. (Love birds doing their things)
Although he was a little ashamed and embarrassed, Shiraishi became cheeky when he saw Ruri's face blushing and a little happy
"Ahem..."
Because I ate too fast, I choked.
"Stupid, you eat too fast."
"Sorry, it's really delicious."
"Then what is delicious?"
Ruri looked up at Shiraishi.
With the beautiful and lively festival as the background, the girl's long black hair hangs down to her waist, like the gentle moonlight, her eyes flickered.
"Um…"
This question is really philosophical. Is the food delicious, or is it that unmarried girls taste better?
When Shiraishi was about to answer, a familiar voice stepped in, very bluntly and with a hint of ridicule:
"You two brats, is it fun to set off flashbangs in a place like this?"
Tsunade is wearing a blue kimono with light yellow flower patterns on it, giving her a bit of a ladylike temperament.
And she has a great heart that can make countless men die from happiness.
Beside her, Shizune, who was also wearing a small kimono, was staring at Shiraishi and Ruri curiously.
I didn't expect that such an ordinary person as Senior Shiraishi would have such a beautiful girlfriend.
I really underestimated him.
This is what she thought.
"Tsunade-sensei, and Shizune, are you two here too?"
"Such a lively festival, how can I be worthy if I don't come out and have a big drink?"
Tsunade's bold voice directly destroyed her ladylike temperament.
"Is that so?"
Such a happy festival and still want to get drunk?
Seeing Shizune standing there helplessly, Shiraishi knew how hard tonight would be for her.
"Yo, Tsunade, you are here."
Another voice intervened.
Jiraiya, one of the Sannin, took off his ninja costume and put on his casual clothes, which is quite mature and masculine.
Although the smile on his face is still sloppy.
And the eyes have been peeking at Tsunade's chest vaguely.
Pervert.
Beside him was a man with pale complexion who gave off a cold-blooded feeling, like a snake.
Orochimaru, who is also a Sannin.
Is there a Sannin party tonight? Shiraishi thought interestingly in his heart.
But since there are these two people, he doesn't have to worry. If Tsunade got so drunk, Sizune doesn't need to send Tsunade home alone.
"It's you, Jiraiya. Didn't you agree to spend this festival with Minato?"
Tsunade asked.
"Don't talk about it, the young people nowadays are really better than each other. Minato and Kushina are together. If I go with them I will only be a third wheel and it will only embarrass them."
Jiraiya also smiled helplessly.
"You idiot, do you still have time to consider other people's feelings?"
Tsunade was not merciless.
"How about it, do you want to have a drink tonight? Orochimaru is also here, we haven't had a drink together for a long time, right?"
Jiraiya didn't care about Tsunade's attitude, but invited Tsunade to drink with him.
"Don't drag me along."
Orochimaru frowned with a headache. These two people drink the most every time they get together, and they drink until they can't walk, regardless of other people's distress.
Poor character, even worse wine quality.
"Does it have anything to do with it? You were behind that guy in Danzo. You have become more and more indifferent to me recently. Now is the time to renew our friendship."
Jiraiya hooked Orochimaru's shoulder, giggling.
"Fool."
Orochimaru snorted, and turned his face away.
"It doesn't matter if three people drink alone... Um, by the way, Shiraishi boy, can I ask you a favor?"
Tsunade looked at Shiraishi.
"what favor?"
"The three of us are going to drink, So please take care of Shizune for me."
Tsunade pushed out the bewildered Shizune.
Just as Shiraishi was about to say something, Tsunade, Jiraiya and Orochimaru were already drifting away on the street, and he could only see her waving and begging.
"Then, I will trouble you."
"..."
Don't give him time to say no.
Shiraishi scratched his head in distress.
Damn it, in this way, there is no way to secretly do some shameful things with Ruri.
Tsunade-sensei, you devil! You are not a medical ninja who saves lives!
"Well, Senior Shiraishi, Senior Ruri, I will be in your care. Don't worry, I won't make trouble for you."
Shizune came over and bowed meekly.
"How can you say it's troublesome? In fact, I think it's more lively if there are more people."
Shiraishi continued to scratch his head and smiled.
"Hypocrite."
Ruri interrupted suddenly.
She walked towards a clothing store.
Shiraishi said to Shizune: "Shizune, why don't you play alone first? I'll pick you up later."
Shizune thought for a while, and knew that she would only be a third wheel, not only embarrassing the other party, but also embarrassing herself, After thinking this she nodded.
"Then I will go there to eat something."
Shizune pointed to the barbecue restaurant not far away that Shiraishi and Ruri had just visited.
"Okay. I will come and pick you up after Ruri and I finish shopping."
Shiraishi took out the money from his wallet and put it in Shizune's hands, telling her to have a good meal.
•••
Damn it! hateful!
Even though it's Konoha's last festival, I can't kiss Shiraishi-kun!
This is what Hyuga Ayane thought.
Although she was wearing the kimono Shiraishi gave her, it still couldn't satisfy and fill her hollow body.
There were a lot of things in front of her, such as takoyaki, kebabs, and fried noodles, and she stuffed them into her mouth one by one to vent her dissatisfaction.
"Boss, another fifty skewers of takoyaki and ten bowls of chashu ramen! Hurry up!"
"Okay, okay, wait a moment."
She is obviously a very cute girl, but why is she so edible? The shopkeeper looked at the girl eating in the shop with terrified eyes, feeling uneasy.
If this continues, it feels like his small shop is about to go bankrupt.
After all, He was the one who wrote the slogan "You don't have to pay if you eat for three consecutive hours" at the door of the store.
In order to attract people, I ended up attracting a big stomach queen.
Now the other party has been eating continuously for one and a half hours, eating every minute and every second, and the hand and mouth didn't stop at all.
"Although Hiashi-sama allowed us to have fun, you don't have to eat like this."
Walking with Ayane on the sidelines, Hyuga Fuyuma from the Hyuga branch, was a little stunned to see the mountain of food in front of Ayane disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
If Ayane's identity wasn't confirmed, he really suspected that Ayane was a spy sent by the Akimichi clan into the Hyuga clan.
No, even in the Akimichi clan there are only a few people who eat this much food.
"Anyway, it's not just our group that protects Hiashi-sama, why don't seniors come and eat together?"
"No need. My mission is to protect Hiashi-sama."
"oh."
Originally, it was meant for him, and Ayane didn't want him to sit down and eat together, which is quite self-aware.
It’s just the thought that I won’t be able to spend the last festival in Konoha with Shiraishi tonight, and he will do some embarrassing things with Ruri, hugging, kissing, and then…
Ayane once again turned her grief and anger into food, and was filled with dark emotions.
Shake it up, all the Konoha restaurants that are holding a free tasting event for big eaters tonight!
Witness the supercilious power of the Hyuga Clan!
Ayane bit down, ahh...
•••
Humans are really noisy creatures.
This is the only thought in General Earth's mind.
He is just speechless, but not mentally handicapped.
He buried himself in the soil, and could feel the hustle and bustle of Konoha at this moment.
So, because of this hustle and bustle, he lost all motivation to swim freely in the soil.
Obviously it is such a noisy world, and I can obviously go deeper underground, where no sound will come in when I swim there, but why do I yearn for such a noisy world?
There was light in his dark eyes, and he just stayed in the corner, silently watching Konoha's festival.
If one day, I can participate in such an event openly...
The child ran over his head and stepped on his head by the way.
"..."
Konoha's kid is so annoying.
I will put a few explosives in his house some other day and he will be quiet.
However, there is no task today, so the time is really free.
He is usually used to running errands, but now that he is suddenly free, General Earth doesn't know what to do.
Sister Kazumi and brother Thunder Pill work in the kingdom of Demons, and the younger sister Shadow Dancer is always like a child who can't grow up, sticking to her father and mother and acting like a baby.
Although he is only three years old, his father said that he is no longer a child, but a mature adult.
So I can't act like a baby, and I can't be as naive as my younger brothers and sisters.
A man who loves work is a mature man.
Even if it is a festival, we must be vigilant and not be careless.
General Earth works hard.
•••
Halfway through the ceremony, Shiraishi and Ruri came back early.
You can still feel the lively festival atmosphere in the village here, and the activities are still going on, and it should not end until midnight.
The sound of explosions resounded in the night sky. It was an incomparably gorgeous flame blooming in the sky, depicting colorful and beautiful patterns.
"It's really beautiful."
"yes."
Although the sporadic sparks are fleeting, the gathering of all the sporadic sparks will move people.
Just like human beings, the light that a person blooms is limited after all, but when everyone gathers together, the light that blooms will form the beauty of the night sky at this moment.
If the spark of one person is fleeting, then ten, one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand, and more people will spark together, and that will be the light of a prairie fire.
The village, the country, and the world are all made up like this.
What Shiraishi sees is not fireworks, but the love and hard work of human beings for life. They are all doing their best to pursue their own happiness.
In a somewhat quiet courtyard, Shiraishi and Ruri watched the fireworks constantly blooming in the night sky. Although they were far away from the hustle and bustle, they also shared the joy and excitement with the people in Konoha.
Shiraishi couldn't help pulling Ruri into his arms, and Ruri also blushed obediently and fell on Shiraishi's shoulder, cuddling each other, secretly savoring the happiness that belonged to the two of them.
Shiraishi gently combed Ruri's silky long hair.
Gradually, all the surrounding sounds seemed to disappear. Even though the fireworks were still exploding, the sound could no longer be seen, and only fragmentary sparks of fire were left in the eyes.
Only each other's heartbeat can be heard clearly.
Ruri took the initiative to kiss him.
Shiraishi also put his arms around her slender waist and kissed her passionately.
The smooth and tender skin and soft body are like a warm fire.
Then, the position was suddenly reversed.
"?"
Shiraishi stared blankly at the girl riding on him, his face flushed.
By this time, there is no need to question or understand anything.
Let's do it. There was such a soft whisper in my ear.
Shiraishi, who understood everything, untied the ribbon of the kimono around Ruri's waist.
Against the background of night and fireworks, the half-naked figure of the girl is particularly alluring.
us…
Let's sink down together.
•••
At the end of the festival, the hustle and bustle went away.
"Well, little girl, our store is closing, why don't you leave?"
The owner of the barbecue restaurant shouted to the Shizune who was sitting outside with the cold wind blowing.
Shizune didn't seem to hear the shout of the owner of the barbecue shop, but just sat blankly on the cold wind blowing street, looking ahead.
Why…
Why…
Why hasn't Senior Shiraishi come to pick me up yet?
Didn't you agree to come pick me up after shopping with Senior Ruri?
Senior Shiraishi, you big liar!
I will tell Master Tsunade about this matter, you just wait to die, Shiraishi-senpai!
Shizune was full of grievances and anger.
