Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 123 Code Name Rabbit

Tsunade didn't take the beauty pageant advertisement seriously when she saw it.

It was just his colleagues talking about it.

After all, I've never seen this kind of movie before.

How could I be interested if I've never even seen it before?

However, beauty pageants themselves still evoke a sense of longing.

Girls all love beauty.

Especially since there are already several very pretty girls in the hospital.

These girls usually have many suitors, but they are too busy with their hospital work to date.

But what girl doesn't love to look beautiful?

This beauty pageant has given them a chance to see if they are truly the most beautiful girl in Konoha.

The girls don't care about the chance to become the female lead in a movie, but winning a beauty pageant means they are the most beautiful girl in Konoha, right?

This is absolutely fantastic!

……

Yuya sighed and looked at Uchiha Yuuko and Hyuga Kazuko in front of him, saying helplessly, "You two should just stop making a scene, okay?"

Hyuga Kazuko stood with her hands on her hips, glaring at Yua with displeasure: "What do you mean? How are we just joining in the fun?!"

You Ya sighed helplessly: "Your family patriarch won't let you participate in this kind of competition. Winning is fine, but not winning is shameful to them."

Hyuga Kazuko's eyes widened, and she puffed out her chest: "What do you mean?! You think I can't get first place?!"

Uchiha Rou frowned, gave a cold snort, but didn't bother to speak.

You Ya waved his hand helplessly: "Sigh, I admit it, but other people will always be eliminated. Aren't you offending them by doing this?"

Hyuga Kazuko: "What does it matter? Anyway, none of those people are as pretty as me."

You Ya gritted her teeth: "This isn't about being pretty! This is, this is, this will ruin neighborly harmony, you understand?"

"I don't understand, just tell me if you agree or not."

You Ya waved his hand helplessly: "If your family patriarch is willing, then I agree."

"The clan chief said he agreed because you agreed." Hyuga Kazuko said, hands on her hips, looking at Yua.

Yuya: ...

Damn it, you old bastard Hyuga, you schemed against me?!

You Ya took a deep breath, then waved his hand: "Go ahead, go ahead, if you want to go, go ahead. Don't come crying to me if you don't get first place!"

"Hmph, no way!"

After saying that, Hyuga Kazuko turned around and prepared to leave.

She took two steps but found that Uchiha Yuu was standing still.

Hyuga Kazuko turned to Uchiha Yuu with some curiosity: "What's wrong? He already agreed, why aren't you leaving?"

Uchiha Rou glanced at Hyuga Kazuko and turned her head away disdainfully.

Then she looked at You Ya and said softly, "I'm getting engaged."

Hyuga Kazuko was immediately startled and looked at Uchiha Yu in disbelief.

Yuya was slightly taken aback, looked up at Uchiha Rou, and nodded: "I will congratulate you then."

Uchiha Yu's eyes immediately filled with tears.

Even Hyuga Kazuko couldn't stand it anymore: "Hey Yua! Are you even a man?! Yu is getting married!"

You Ya looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression: "Shouldn't I congratulate them?"

Uchiha Yu took a deep sniff, then looked at Yua and nodded: "Indeed, as the Hokage, you should be congratulated..."

Hyuga Kazuko stepped forward and slammed her hand on Yua's table: "What are you doing?! Don't you understand how Yu feels about you? You've been pretending to be stupid all these years?! Or are you saying you don't even like Yu?!"

Yuya sighed helplessly, put away the documents in his hand, and explained to Hyuga Kazuko, "This is not a matter of whether I like it or not. It's a matter of the Hyuga and Uchiha clans not intermarrying with outsiders."

"Have you ever seen any girls from your family marry out of the family in your entire lives?"

Hyuga Kazuko's momentum faltered instantly, then she glared at Yua with displeasure: "You're the Hokage now, can't you even help her?! She's about to marry someone else!"

Yuya looked helpless: "It's precisely because I'm the Hokage that I can't get involved in this kind of thing."

Uchiha Yu tugged at Hyuga Kazuko's sleeve: "Kazuko, it's alright. I didn't come here to pressure him. I just want an answer..."

As she spoke, Uchiha Yu looked at Yua and asked, "All these years, have you ever liked me?"

You Ya was speechless. What kind of soap opera with a melodramatic plot was this...?

Just as Yuya was about to deny it, he saw tears welling up in Uchiha Rou's eyes.

He didn't utter a denial in the end. He helplessly rubbed his forehead, then, in a desperate attempt to comfort him, said, "Yes."

Uchiha Rou stopped crying and smiled. She wiped away her tears and said happily, "Thank you. I know you were just saying that to comfort me, but... thank you."

After saying that, Uchiha Yu bowed to Yua and then turned to leave.

Hyuga Kazuko quickly chased after them.

Youya shook her head helplessly, watching the two figures leave. Her first thought was, when did they become so close?

……

Then, three days later, Youya looked speechlessly at the long-haired, black-haired girl wearing a fox mask in front of him: "Rou, what are you doing?"

"Lord Hokage, please address me by my code name." Uchiha Yu's indifferent voice came from under the mask.

Yuya: "...Oh, codename, what's your codename?"

"Rabbit of the Rabbit"

You Ya sighed, "Okay, then Mao Tu, why are you here?"

"The head of the Dark Guard ordered me to join the Shadow Guard, so here I am."

You Ya facepalmed: "Wait, aren't you getting married?!"

"I don't know what the Hokage is talking about."

You Ya: "..."

Okay, okay, so this is how you guys play, huh?

"mirror!"

No one answered.

Uchiha Kagami, who used to appear immediately whenever called, is nowhere to be found today.

Yuya took a deep breath, looked at the ramrod straight-backed, curvaceous Uchiha Yuu wearing a rabbit mask, and waved his hand helplessly: "Fine, fine, you guys are amazing, you guys are amazing, I'm impressed."

Youya turned to leave, but then suddenly remembered something and turned back to say, "By the way, did those guys tell you? I don't like having someone watching me in my room when I'm resting. I need to sleep outside..."

The person had already disappeared.

You Ya: "..."

Taking another deep breath, You Ya returned to his office, seething with anger.

He refused to believe that Uchiha Kagami couldn't summon him here.

"Mirror! Come out here! I have something important to ask you!"

Sure enough, as soon as it was mentioned that there was something important to discuss, Uchiha Kagami appeared.

"Uchiha Yu is a Chunin, right? Why is she allowed into the Shadow Guard? What you're doing is against the rules." Yuya looked intently at Uchiha Kagami.

Uchiha Kagami, without changing his expression, said, "Konoha has a special Jonin system that allows some Chunin who have reached the required strength but were not promoted due to special reasons to become Jonin."

You Ya: "..."

Good grief, are you looking for bugs here?

Taking another deep breath, Yua continued, "But I remember that the Special Jonin title only has a one-year validity period. After one year..."

"Roto will become a Jonin in a year."

You Ya: "..."

"Okay, if she really becomes a Jonin a year from now, then I have no objection."

Oh, by the way, what about his engagement?

Uchiha Kagami: "The man's side has agreed to annul the engagement."

You Ya was taken aback: "You agree to annul the engagement?"

Uchiha Kagami said expressionlessly, "Oh, sorry, I misspoke. I meant to propose annulment of the engagement."

You Ya: "..."

You, Uchiha Kagami, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, have gone astray too?! Who taught you that?!

The office door clicked open, and Lu Ye looked at the two people staring at each other, somewhat bewildered: "Did I miss something?"

You Ya pursed his lips: "Let's not talk about that. By the way, your son is one year old this year, right? When are you having his first birthday celebration?"

Lu Ye: "It's still a long way off, July 15th. Will you be there then?"

You Ya nodded: "While you're at it, let's see how capable your son is, and whether we can get him to work in my office in the future."

Shika immediately gave an embarrassed smile: "Shikaku isn't even a year old yet... how could that be..."

You Ya chuckled: "Good governing talents definitely need to be cultivated from a young age, so don't refuse."

Deer: "...That's way too small..."

You Ya smiled without saying a word. He asked the question simply because he had seen a name in some unimportant intelligence that had been piling up a few days ago while looking at documents.

When the intelligence gathered by the secret service was compiled to Yua, it was categorized into very important, important, general, and unimportant files.

After taking care of the important matters, You Ya idly flipped through some ordinary and unimportant documents and came across a record of a wedding banquet being held by a commoner family on February 25th.

The ninjas from the Anbu investigated and found that the identities of everyone who attended the banquet were traceable; there were no spies or agents from other villages.

Of course, what You Ya was concerned about was not whether there were any spies, but rather the ordinary family holding a baby's one-month celebration.

This family's surname is Namikaze. They are from Konoha. After Yuya developed Konoha in recent years, he also benefited from the changes and was allocated two houses. The father works in a factory, and the mother does handicrafts at home.

Of course, it doesn't matter who the child's parents are.

This child is the important one.

because……

His name is Minato Namikaze.
