Naruto, the strongest Uchiha from signing in

"Well done! Naruto, at this age, you have captured enemy spies and intercepted important intelligence alone. You have made great contributions to Konoha, and the village will not forget your dedication."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's joy diluted his inner worries and sorrows.

He thought that Naruto would become more and more hostile to the current Konoha under the dangerous ideas of Uchiha Kagetsu.

However, the development of things far exceeded Sarutobi Hiruzen's expectations.

There is no doubt that Naruto is the successor of Minato's talent. Not only is he talented in ninjutsu, but he is also very good at serving the village, which is almost the same as Minato back then.

"If there is nothing else, I will take my leave, Third-generation Grandpa."

His tone was indifferent, as if he had just done something insignificant. Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Naruto's back and vaguely saw Minato's figure.

There was no one around, and a figure appeared from the shadows.

Sarutobi Hiruzen picked up the newly established defense map and handed it to the Anbu captain beside him.

"Pass the order down, let the various Konoha troops change positions according to the new defense line, and make sure not to give the enemy a chance to take advantage."The captain of the Anbu team took the order and left. He took a last peek and suddenly aroused a storm in his heart.

In this defense map, there are Yamanaka, Nara, Aburame, Sarutobi......The only one missing was Uchiha.

The captain was terrified, but on the surface he remained calm, and rushed to the heads of the famous families as fast as possible to convey the orders of the Third Hokage. After the

Anbu captain left, another Anbu captain hurried over, took off his mask, and his silver hair attracted attention.

"Third Hokage, the Anbu has received information that Uchiha Shisui committed suicide by jumping into the Nanga River some time ago."

For a moment, the writing brush paused slightly, and froze in mid-air, not even noticing the ink dripping.

"What did you say? Shisui committed suicide by jumping into the river? What was the Uchiha clan's reaction?"

"The Uchiha clan is investigating the cause of Uchiha Shisui's death, but the details are unknown."

After a deathly silence, Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly waved his hand, and after Kakashi left, he fell into deep thought.

‘Was it because I pushed too hard, or was Shisui's actions discovered by Uchiha Fugaku, or was it because......’

For some reason, Sarutobi Hiruzen thought of the bandage that had covered his old friend's face for many years.

‘It must be an illusion. Even the An of Konoha would not attack his companions.......’

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't dare to think about it further. The time of Uchiha Kagami's death and the accident of Danzo's right eye were a bit too close.

"I hope I am overthinking it, but the problem now is that Uchiha Kagetsu's attitude will give him a chance to cause trouble......."

What will be the consequences? Will he raise the banner of rebellion against Konoha in a fit of rage? It is necessary to test it.

Weighing the pros and cons and considering the relationship, Sarutobi Hiruzen gradually came up with several candidates.

That evening, after the Ninja School was over, Shikamaru and Choji, who were supposed to rush out of the classroom first, stayed where they were, along with Ino who looked impatient.

Seeing this, Kagetsu on the podium was a little surprised and asked curiously:

"What's wrong? Your parents will be worried if you don't come home so late."

"Well, teacher, actually......"

"Teacher Huayue, my father wants to invite you to barbecue Q. He said that we haven't seen each other for a long time and he wants to get together.

Seeing that one of his teammates was hesitant to speak and the other was just eating potato chips, Ino had to speak first and make a quick decision.

"Eh? Mr. Haiyi, why is it so sudden? Never mind, let's go. Do you want to come with us?"

"Great! But will it delay Dad and the others from talking?"

Cingci cheered, then turned gloomy. Huayue chuckled twice and motioned for the others to follow.

"Just open another table, as a token of my gratitude to Mr. Haiyi for his kindness. I will treat you."

"Great!"

Choci cheered non-stop, he didn't expect to have a free meal, if he didn't take the opportunity to let go of his appetite and eat a big meal, how could he be considered a foodie.

Shikamaru shook his head helplessly, he just felt troubled, maybe the father and son would be scolded again when they got home.

Ino was staring at the mask that had never been taken off, the curious kitten became more active.

Half an hour later, the sky gradually sank, and with the last ray of sunset, it disappeared into the darkness.

The neon lights flickered, and in the private room in the corner of the barbecue Q, the three people of Pig, Deer and Butterfly looked at each other, with their own thoughts in their hearts.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting, Mr. Haiyi, Mr. Lujiu, Mr. Dingzuo......"

Seeing the real owner arrive, still wearing the familiar mask on his head, Lu Jiu smiled calmly and warmly received him.

"After such a long time, you are still wearing this mask. It must be hard."

"There is no way. Mr. Shikaku knows that if I take it off, many people will gather around the Ninja School. I can't do anything about it.

Huayue smiled and said helplessly.

"After all these years, he is still so popular with women. After all, he is the 'most handsome man in Konoha' and the 'most talented ninja' hero of Konoha!"

Yamanaka Inoichi teased, and the whole box burst into laughter.

At the same time, in the box next to him, Ino and the other two were eavesdropping, their eyes full of surprise.

"The most handsome man in Konoha? No way, although I know that Mr. Kazuki is from the Uchiha clan, but the most handsome man in Konoha is a bit too much, no matter how handsome he is, can he be more handsome than Sasuke?!"

Ino was filled with righteous indignation and muttered to himself subconsciously, but Shikamaru looked helpless and said perfunctorily

"It's probably just a rumor from my father's generation. To be honest, I've never seen what Mr. Huayue's face looks like behind the mask."

"Shikamaru, are you interested?"

"What interest? The last piece of barbecue?"

Dingci's mouth was full of tears, his eyes fixed on the meat on the grill, and he almost started eating it.

"Forget it, if you are interested, just go and take a look. You won't wear a mask when eating barbecue."

When Ino heard this, her eyes lit up and she felt that what Shikamaru said made a lot of sense.

"Yes, you can't guess the answer while wearing a mask while eating. I didn't expect you to be so smart, Shikamaru."

After waiting for a while and seeing a few bottles of wine being delivered to the private room, Ino and Shikamaru, who couldn't hold back, quietly opened the door curtain of the private room.

"Dad, Mom will probably urge us to come......."

Ino was halfway through her prepared excuse when she froze in her place. Seeing this, Shikamaru followed her in.

The next second, a fresh and refined young man who looked like he was in his twenties was holding a wine cup, smiling and silent.

"The most handsome man in Konoha......it is true?"
