Konoha: The Soul King from the Uchiha Clan

Chapter 237 Red Beans Have Grown Up

The next morning, Uchiha Gen escorted Pakura back to the Sunagakure camp, but he did not leave in the morning and only left in the afternoon.

In the morning, Uchiha Gen went to the battlefield between Sunagakure and Kirigakure and indiscriminately hunted and killed people, destroying the evidence. He showed no mercy just because his girlfriend was from Sunagakure.

It would be a shame not to take advantage of the fact that we've come all this way and the environment is so nice.

If it weren't for the fact that continuous hunting would easily attract attention, Uchiha Gen would have made his move a couple of days ago.

Given the chaos on the battlefield, it's quite normal for a small number of ninjas to go missing.

At noon, Uchiha Gen quietly returned to Konoha Village and had lunch at home with Mikoto and the others.

"By the way, Xuan, your junior sister Hongdou came to see you yesterday."

After finishing her meal, Mikoto took a tray, squatted down slightly, and gently placed the tea on the tray in front of Uchiha Gen with a smile and a gentle tone.

"Okay, what did you say?"

Uchiha Gen picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and smiled faintly.

"I told you you were in seclusion researching ninjutsu."

"Okay, now send someone to invite her over."

"it is good."

About an hour later, Anko arrived. Mikoto served a cup of tea and then took Itachi and Sasuke to train.

With Mikoto's current strength, she can definitely guide Itachi. As for Sasuke, at his current age, he can only be a spectator.

Hongdou wore a mesh top and a mesh skirt over her thighs, an orange short skirt, long legs, and a beige trench coat. She already had seven or eight parts of the charm she had when she first appeared in the original work.

"In the dead of winter, you're dressed like that, prioritizing style over warmth?"

Uchiha Gen sat cross-legged on a single sofa, glanced at Anko's outfit, and said somewhat speechlessly.

"Haha, I'm not cold, I'm perfectly healthy."

Red Bean laughed heartily, then plopped down on the single sofa opposite Uchiha Gen, picked up a teacup and drank it down in a hearty manner, like a cow chewing on a peony.

"Ahem... Red Bean, watch your posture."

Uchiha Gen glanced up and saw a glimpse of white peeking out from under the orange skirt. He averted his gaze and coughed lightly.

"Ugh, where are you looking, Senior Brother?"

Hongdou quickly put her legs together and said angrily, her cheeks puffed out.

Uchiha Gen: "..."

"Is this my fault?"

"You should be more careful next time."

"Alright, enough chit-chat, what do you need me for?"

Upon hearing this, Hongdou immediately put the matter aside and, imitating Uchiha Xuan, crossed her legs and said with a smile, "It's nothing, it's just that the New Year is coming soon and I'm bored, so I came to visit my senior brother."

"The teacher has disappeared somewhere, and the house is covered in dust."

"The professor is probably working tirelessly on research in some lab, it would be strange if you could find him."

"Huh, why didn't Hong and Xiyan come with you?"

"They said they had something to do."

"Seriously, something happened last time, and now something else has happened again. What a coincidence!"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Gen's heart stirred; he wasn't as carefree as Anko.

Having something to do twice in a row doesn't seem like something's wrong; it's more like she's deliberately avoiding him...

Why?

Mikoto?

The gap between social status and position?

Perhaps there's also Yekura.

Many people in the village were unaware of Yekura's existence, but it wasn't difficult to find out if one paid attention to him and deliberately inquired about his whereabouts.

Hmm... the most likely scenario is that both are possible.

Hehe, those two little girls have grown up!

Uchiha Gen wasn't disappointed or saddened by the two women's behavior. From another perspective, it was precisely because he cared that he was deliberately avoiding them.

The worst thing in a relationship between a man and a woman is not physical contact, but rather indifference and neglect.

"Red Bean, remember to tell Red and Evening Glory when you leave later."

"Tonight at 7:30, it's BBQ Q, my treat. Make sure they come."

"If they say they have something to do, just say it's my order."

"Okay, um..."

"Why are you being so hesitant? This isn't like you. Just say what you want to say."

"Alright, I'll get straight to the point. Senior brother, are you married to her?"

"You mean Mikoto-nee?"

"Hmm," Hongdou said with a gossipy look on her face.

"No, we just live together. It's a complicated situation that a child wouldn't understand," Uchiha Gen waved his hand and said.

"Hmph, I'm not a child anymore."

Red Bean defiantly puffed out its chest and raised its head, while the already impressive headlights trembled precariously.

"And senior brother, could you let me see the legendary Mangekyou Sharingan?"

Uchiha Gen rolled his eyes slightly and said, "Is this kind of powerful weapon something you can just look at casually?"

"It's like asking if you can just show your signature ninjutsu technique to anyone?"

"Senior brother, I'm not a street performer."

After pondering for a moment, Hongdou said with a grin, "If Senior Brother shows it to me, I'll show it to you too."

"What are you showing me?"

"Your signature ninjutsu technique?"

Red Bean shook her head and said, "No, it's this."

Having said that, Hongdou slowly parted her legs, which had been pressed together...

"What kind of person do you take me for, your senior brother?"

"This is absolutely outrageous!"

Uchiha Gen rubbed his nose and said righteously.

"Hmph, you stinky senior brother, you lecherous senior brother, if you hadn't been sneaking glances, I might have believed you."

Hongdou quickly closed her half-open legs, stretched out her hands, gave a thumbs-up, and said disdainfully.

"It's just human curiosity about the unknown, it doesn't mean anything," Uchiha Gen said without batting an eye.

"Alright, you can see it if you want."

After saying that, Uchiha Gen's jet-black eyes transformed into the Mangekyou Sharingan, with snow-white sclera, scarlet pupils, and jet-black patterns, forming a pair of eerie, mysterious, and captivating eyes!

"Wow, what beautiful eyes!" Hongdou exclaimed, her hands clasped together.

"Alright, you've seen enough. Now tell me about your team's recent situation."

"Um."

The senior and junior disciples chatted in the living room for a while, then went out to stroll and chat in the courtyard, and finally went to the small training ground of the mansion to join in the fun.

Seeing Itachi's skillful kunai throwing technique at such a young age, his impressive physical skills, his mastery of the Three Body Techniques, and his signature Fireball Technique, Anko was amazed and exclaimed that he was a genius.

Putting aside Itachi's actions in the original work, if we only consider his ninja talent, Itachi was indeed a first-rate genius.

After a while, Hongdou left.

At 7 p.m., Uchiha Gen said goodbye to Mikoto and left to reserve a private room at the barbecue restaurant Q.

At 7:25, the door to the private room was pushed open, and Hongdou walked in first, followed by Hong and Xiyan.

Kurenai and Yugao's outfits are much more normal than Anko's.

Yuhi Kurenai wore a bright red down jacket on top and blue cotton casual pants on the bottom.

Uzuki Yugao wore a light purple down jacket on top and white cotton casual pants on the bottom.

The only relatively normal thing about Red Bean's outfit was that she wore long boots instead of the open-toed sandals that ninjas usually wore, which could be considered as giving Winter some respect.

"Senior brother, we're here."

As soon as she entered, Hongdou greeted everyone in a loud and boisterous voice.

"team leader."

"team leader."

In contrast, while Hong and Xiyan appeared to be fine on the surface, their attitudes were not as natural as before.

"Don't be shy, please sit down. Order whatever you'd like to eat."

Uchiha Gen, wearing round retro sunglasses, laughed.

"I won't stand on ceremony. You haven't treated anyone since your promotion, so consider this your treat."

As Hongdou spoke, she picked up the menu and quickly ordered with her pen.

"no problem."

Even though they were wearing sunglasses, both Hong and Xiyan felt like they were being watched. That feeling of being seen through made them even more uncomfortable...
