"Yuzhi, Ying, over here!" - fine.

Leaf Village, at the entrance of a barbecue restaurant, Lin waved at Yuzhi and Hikari as they walked over. - fine.

After seeing Lin, the two also quickly walked over. - fine.

At this time, the ninja world had already entered autumn, the weather gradually turning cold, but for ninjas this was nothing. - fine.

However, eating barbecue in autumn is indeed a good choice, especially for gatherings that aren't particularly large. - fine.

"Lin, thank you for waiting for us here." - fine.

Following Lin into the restaurant, Yuzhi laughed and said from behind. - fine.

"Nothing much, anyway it's a bit hot inside; coming out to move around is also fine." - fine.

Lin gave an indifferent smile, but her gaze swept over Hikari without a trace. - fine.

"Come on, Asuma is treating; now we just need you two." - fine.

Saying this, Lin laughed and led the two into the private room, which was already full of people. - fine.

Looking around, everyone present was an acquaintance; Kakashi, Akai, Aoba, and Hong from the same class were all there. - fine.

And those a year or two below them, but still roughly the same age, such as Hongdou, Iruka, etc., were also here. - fine.

"Yuzhi, you've come!" - fine.

"Senior Yuzhi, hello." - fine.

After Yuzhi and Hikari entered, the people in the private room were also especially friendly, though there were some differences. - fine.

Akai, Kakashi, and Aoba were originally classmates, and those who had undertaken missions together were even more relaxed. - fine.

Meanwhile, lowerclassmen like Iruka and Moonlight Gale became a bit reserved upon seeing Yuzhi. - fine.

After all, Yuzhi is a war hero, and with Leaf Village's publicity and the returning ninjas from the front lines hyping him up, his fame has only grown.

It's completely understandable that some juniors, upon seeing him, would show both reverence and reserve.

"Sorry, everyone, I'm late."

However, Yuzhi still remained very courteous and didn't let all that hype make him feel like he was heading to heaven.

"Alright, hurry up and take a seat, you two."

As the host, Asuma immediately spoke up, though he glanced at Hong sitting next to Hongdou, then glanced at Hikari beside Yuzhi.

Especially noticing that Lin also seemed to be looking toward Yuzhi, he felt a bit jealous for a moment, wondering if it's really just because they're good-looking that they're popular.

"Yuzhi, I heard you're about to get engaged, yet you're still so popular."

"This kind of thing, can't blame me, right?"

Asuma's words made Yuzhi pause, after which he could only shrug, indicating he didn't know either.

Perhaps it's because the age has come, Uzhibo ChaNa indeed mentioned this matter to Yuzhi.

However, Yuzhi himself didn't express anything, because there was no need to do so.

As Yuzhi and Hikari took their seats, everyone who had been waiting long immediately started.

Moreover, everyone were basically peers, so they were even more close; even if somewhat reserved, it quickly dissipated in the lively atmosphere.

"Come, try this barbecue."

Yuzhi chatted with Akai, Kakashi, and others while also getting busy grilling.

After the meat was cooked, he placed a piece of barbecue on Hikari's plate.

"Thank you."

Hikari politely nodded, but while looking at this piece of barbecue she pursed her lips.

Although she had obtained the identity of Uchiha Ying, she still lived together with Yuzhi.

After all, Yuzhi's home was the first place that let her feel at ease after leaving the seal, and she didn't want to leave there.

As for Uchiha Ying's home, she learned the Shadow Clone Jutsu from Yuzhi, making it easy to handle.

Therefore she knows how bad Yuzhi's cooking skills are, and she seriously suspects he might be doing it on purpose.

"You two really have a good relationship; maybe you'll get engaged someday."

Asuma also wanted to learn to show enthusiasm to Hong, but after glancing at where Hong was sitting,

and then looking at Hongdou beside him who was likely to eat the barbecue, he could only shake his head in frustration, then started chatting idly with Yuzhi.

"Who knows."

Yuzhi shrugged, then gave Asuma a mischievous laugh.

"Anyway it's a family arrangement, I can't say much either; you should step up, or else have your Hokage old father help?"

"Tch."

Asuma immediately rolled his eyes upon hearing that.

"How could I possibly need that old man's help, especially when he himself can't even keep up?"

"Is this about the Fourth Hokage?"

Kakashi, sitting nearby, also asked curiously, and Yuzhi likewise looked at him.

During this time, Yuzhi has been studying.

Whether it was Uchiha Fugaku or Uzhibo ChaNa, they sent him a pile of materials, so he paid less attention to outside affairs.

"That's right, it's about the Fourth Hokage."

Asuma nodded, then glanced at Hongdou before speaking softly in a mysterious manner.

"You've probably also heard some rumors about Lord Orochimaru lately, the old guy has been worried about this matter."

Yuzhi's eyes lit up slightly upon hearing that; he had indeed been waiting for this matter!

"Probably not?" Kakashi thought for a moment, then said softly.

"I also think that." Yuzhi thought for a moment, then replied: "This kind of thing should be investigated by the secret division."

Yes, but that guy took a bunch of people out of the village. Asuma shrugged and said: "Anyway, who knows before there's any result?"

【72】 By this point, Asuma didn't say anything more.

In a forest behind the Uchiha Clan's residence, Uzhibo BaDai looked at the black-clad people before him and asked in a low voice.

【127】 Uzhibo BaDai, following Uzhibo ChaNa's wishes, had always wanted to find an opportunity to test Yuzhi's level.

In a forest behind the Uchiha Clan's residence, Uzhibo BaDai looked at the black-clad people before him and asked in a low voice.

At the same time, there was also something that made him more concerned: what the relationship between Uchiha Ying and Yuzhi really was.

At the same time, there was also something that made him more concerned: what the relationship between Uchiha Ying and Yuzhi really was.

"Since we're testing, let's test it all; Elder ChaNa seems to also plan to have that brat get engaged, so I'll add fuel to the fire!"

Thus: At the same time, there was also something that made him more concerned: what the relationship between Uchiha Ying and Yuzhi really was.

He could guess some of Elder ChaNa's thoughts, after all, among the Uchiha Clan who could achieve great things, who hasn't lost friends, wives, and brothers?

Figuring out the relationship between Yuzhi and Uchiha Ying would definitely make it easier for Uzhibo ChaNa to do something.

Thus: "Since we're going to test, let's test both; Elder ChaNa seems to also plan to have that brat engaged, so I'll add fuel to the fire!"

We need to keep exclamation.

Thus: "Since we're going to test, let's test both; Elder ChaNa seems to also plan to have that brat engaged, so I'll add fuel to the fire!"

Just investigating from Uchiha Ying's side yielded absolutely no result—because this woman is really boring.

During the day he's with Yuzhi, at night he goes back to rest; at most he just goes out with Yuzhi to hang out with outsiders.

Thus: He could guess some of Elder ChaNa's thoughts, after all, among the Uchiha Clan who could achieve great things, who hasn't lost friends, wives, and brothers?

Such a person really gives him nothing to find out, and Uzhibo ChaNa also doesn't let him get too close to Yuzhi's residence, so he's never had much chance.

Moreover, Yuzhi made such a big name for himself on the battlefield, so he also has to be more careful.

Thus: Figuring out the relationship between Yuzhi and Uchiha Ying would definitely make it easier for Uzhibo ChaNa to do something.

But now he seems to have seen an opportunity; today is definitely a good time to make a move!

"Lord BaDai, everything is ready."

Thus: Just investigating from Uchiha Ying's side yielded absolutely no result—because this woman is really boring.

A black-clad ninja whispered in front of him.

"Very good."

Thus: During the day he's with Yuzhi, at night he goes back to rest; at most he just goes out with Yuzhi to hang out with outsiders.

Uzhibo BaDai nodded, his eyes flickered; he had also been waiting for this moment for a long time.

He also knew about some minor issues between Yuzhi and Uzhibo ChaNa, but he himself didn't think Elder Uzhibo ChaNa had any problems.

Thus: Such a person really gives him nothing to find out, and Uzhibo ChaNa also doesn't let him get too close to Yuzhi's residence, so he's never had much chance.

Serving the family's honor is naturally what every Uchiha should do; being valued by Elder Uzhibo ChaNa is even more worthy of pride.

But Yuzhi seems dissatisfied, and now he's even haggling; especially this guy being so close to outsiders, these are things he cannot tolerate.

Thus: Moreover, Yuzhi made such a big name for himself on the battlefield, so he also has to be more careful.

This time, he intends to give that brat a lesson!

"Follow the original plan, attack that Uchiha Ying, as for that Yuzhi brat"

Thus: But now he seems to have seen an opportunity; today is definitely a good time to make a move!

"I'll personally handle it!"

"Yes, Lord BaDai!"

Thus: "Lord BaDai, everything is ready."

By this point, Asuma didn't say anything more.

Thus: "Yes, Lord BaDai!"
