Evil Uchiha brat, I'll marry you myself.

Beneath the ancient wooden mask, his eyes widened in surprise. "Is it possible that your son approached someone else on his own initiative?"

“Father, I think that brat must have some bad intentions, and may be plotting some evil plan.”

"Well, if you can think of it that way, then what I said tonight wasn't in vain."

I'm truly sorry, Father, but tonight's words were all for naught.

Koki really didn't know if he would die of anger on the spot if he told Tobirama Senju that he was going to marry an Uchiha woman.

"However, I suggest you don't reveal your true feelings."

"Since Uchiha Shizumizu intends to make contact with you, then you should remain still and strike swiftly once you find an opportunity."

"Yes, Father, I understand what I should do now."

Gu Mu nodded.

It seems that the official announcement of Shizuka Uchiha's identity will have to wait.

Tobirama Senju clearly harbored immense suspicion towards the Uchiha clan.

It's not his fault, after all, Gu Mu knew of a kid named Uchiha Obito, who originally seemed harmless and was a loser, but after being greatly stimulated...

He went from being a kind-hearted person to a living devil, a devil who could kill wherever he pointed.

"Yes, today's instruction is the first lesson I've taught you. There are still many things for you to handle in the future. Go back now."

Tobirama Senju waved his hand, already intending to train Koki to become the Third Hokage.

The potential is right there; wouldn't it be a waste not to nurture it?

Not only Koki, but also Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others were under his consideration, but it seems that Koki's current advantage already overwhelms the others...

"Oh, by the way, your task recently is to keep an eye on the movements of the Uchiha clan. If there are any problems, report them immediately."

It was already night when Gu Mu went out.

Looking at the stars in the sky, Gu Mu let out a deep breath.

It's a bit like the illusion of facing criticism from my father in a past life.

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it too much. Let's go back and bully that Uchiha brat first."

As soon as Gu Mu began to think, he instantly used Flying Thunder God Technique and arrived on the roof of the courtyard.

Looking at Uchiha Shizuru, who was still cultivating in the courtyard, Koki suddenly had some thoughts.

Is it possible that those extremists from the Uchiha clan might start attacking her because she's getting close to Uchiha Shizumi?

With this in mind, Koki also included the Uchiha clan in his list of suspects for assassinating Shizumizu's mother.

According to the Shimura clan's investigation, the Hyuga clan seems to have been present near the Uchiha camp around the time when Uchiha Shizumizu's mother was murdered.

It seems I need to find an opportunity to investigate the Hyuga clan.

"Hmm? Gu Mu, you're back. Did the Hokage say anything?"

Uchiha Shizuru, with her hair tied in a high ponytail, wiped the sweat from her forehead as she sensed the ancient wood aura behind her, her expression puzzled.

"It's nothing, but we have another sum of money. It seems that our steamed bun shop can be expanded a bit more."

"Yes, I just heard from Sister Yingliu that the steamed bun shop is opening tomorrow. Do we need to go and help?"

Uchiha Shizuru's expression was like that of a cat whose tail had been pinched; he looked rather troubled and silly.

They're going to work tomorrow, and even with a permanent position, things aren't as great as they hoped.

"Go ahead, why wouldn't you go?"

Taking a break at work is something Gu Mu has always looked forward to.

Chapter 45 Xiaochun: Okay, okay, I'm the clown then.

The next day, Gu Mu got up early.

Regarding the Anbu, Senju Hotaru indicated that he knew about it, as it was the Second Hokage's direct subordinate organization, and did not inquire further.

"Young Master, how are things going with the Anbu?"

Senju Hotaru's eyes held a hint of curiosity.

In fact, not long ago, before Koki showed her talent, she had received an invitation from the Second Tobirama.

They invited her to become a squad leader in the secret unit.

However, Senju Hotaru refused. At that time, she did not know that Koki would become a sensation, so she naturally would not leave his side easily.

"Sister Yingliu, I'm so old now, why don't you knock before coming in?"

Gu Mu, who was getting dressed, looked speechless.

"Pfft~ You've grown up, haven't you?"

Thousand Hands Firefly covered her mouth and chuckled, glancing at the ancient tree with a rather comical expression.

"Ahem, Sister Yingliu, someone's here! Someone's peeping outside the door!"

Gu Mu coughed a few times, his gaze suddenly drawn to the doorway, where a small head peeked out, looking as if it had suffered a great injustice, its eyes full of resentment.

His face, which was almost as black as the bottom of a pot, made Gu Mu feel uneasy.

This girl was incredibly cunning in her past life. To put it simply, she was all show and no substance. She appeared kind and friendly, but if she saw a woman get close to her, she might do something terrifying.

The most memorable time for Gu Mu was during his university years when he attended a department dinner and a female junior from his junior year chatted with him for a few minutes.

That evening, Jing Shui cornered him, holding a pair of scissors, smiling as she gestured towards his crotch, occasionally murmuring, "Brother Gu Mu, is my voice sweet?"

If there were special effects, Gu Mu was certain that Jing Shui's eyes would be flashing with bloodlust.

"Oh, it's Jing Shui. You're awake too?"

"But judging from your expression, you're not jealous, are you?"

Senju Hotaru's eyes curved slightly; she seemed to have caught a whiff of gossip.

"what..."

Uchiha Shizuru broke down instantly, his eyes immediately filled with panic.

Koki also briefly told her about the feud between the Uchiha and Senju clans, which made Uchiha Shizumi feel worried about the future.

She really didn't know if Tobirama Senju would accept her.

"Sister Yingliu, why would I be jealous? Why can't I understand what you're saying?"

Uchiha Shizuru blinked and made a face that said, "I know nothing," trying to get away with it by being cute.

"Sigh, you can never wake someone who's pretending to be asleep. You guys go ahead and get busy."

Senju Hotaru shrugged, not dwelling on the matter too much.

Regardless of what others think, she will definitely support Gu Mu's choice.

Senju Hotaru's all-seeing gaze made Uchiha Shizumi feel uneasy. Wasn't she being that obvious?

"Hey, you naughty old tree, was my jealous expression that obvious just now?"

The sky was still dimly lit, and there was almost no one in Konoha Village. Uchiha Shizumi followed beside Koki, her foxy eyes filled with curiosity.

Their current mission is to monitor the movements of the Uchiha clan, so there is no need for them to wear masks.

"No, you've admitted you're jealous, do you think your expression wouldn't be obvious?"

Gu Mu was speechless.

He felt that if she had a kitchen knife in her hand, this girl might actually come at him without saying a word.

Then, grabbing himself by the collar, he flashed a cute yet fierce expression: 'I want you divided into seven parts, so we can be together every week.'

"Pah, pah, pah~ I didn't say anything, who's jealous!"

Uchiha Shizumi's eyes widened in panic as she realized she had let something slip. How could she possibly be jealous of this scoundrel?

He can do whatever he wants.

"Okay, okay, you're not jealous. The one who's jealous is me, okay?"

Gu Mu didn't want to dwell on this topic any longer, otherwise this girl would probably really get angry.

"By the way, how long have you been living with Yingliu-jie?"

"You still say you're not jealous?"

Gu Mu wore a comical smile.

"Hmph, I was just asking casually."

Like a proud white swan, Uchiha Shizusui turned her head away, indicating that she did not want to pay attention to Koki.

"Actually, we've been living together for quite a while."

After a pause, the ancient tree finally came to a conclusion.

Hearing the somewhat sighing sound from the ancient tree, Uchiha Shizuru's face showed a hint of tension, and then she spoke softly:

"I see. So, what's my reputation with her? Has she told you anything about me?"
