Konoha: This Uchiha is not right

The difference between Konoha and Kirigakure is really huge, whether it is the atmosphere, environment, or the relationship between people, Kirigakure cannot compare with it.

In Kirigakure, all Mei Terumi could feel was indifference, and the education she received all contained the content of "dealing with teammates if the mission fails."

Mutual distrust seems to have become the norm in Kirigakure, and there have even been mission failures in the Anbu, with people specifically responsible for cleaning up the team.

Mei Terumi has been in Konoha for such a long time, but her chakra has been basically sealed and she has nothing to do.

But she had never seen or heard of any incident where one of the Anbu members killed one of their own!

And on the streets of Konoha, there was laughter, communication between people, and kindness everywhere.

This was something she had never experienced before and something she had never thought about before.

"What's wrong? Didn't you say you've been around Konoha? Why do you still look so curious?"

Seeing that Mei Terumi looked like someone who had accidentally entered Cybertron, Uchiha Mune couldn't help but ask with amusement.

"This isn't a busy area, so there's no need to be so surprised."

"Minister, I have been a captive before. Even if I want to go shopping, do you think I have a chance?"

When Mei Terumi heard what Uchiha Mune said, she couldn't help but roll her eyes, then she looked at everything around her with a smile.

"But now it seems that if I change my mood and mindset and really tour Konoha, it feels different."

Mei Terumi seemed to be in a good mood. The Uchiha clan had never seen such a mood before.

He hasn't seen this woman since he captured her. She's always been bitter and resentful, so this transformation seems okay.

At least this look is somewhat similar to the way Mei Terumi looked in the original work.

"Let's go. I'll take you to see the most prosperous place in Konoha."

Uchiha Zong took a look at the sky, then he took Mei Terumi and walked in another direction.

Although he was brought up by his dog father's physical education, he has traveled around Konoha many times.

After all, the Uchiha clan lived in a relatively remote area, and the journey from the ninja school to home was quite far, so he often chose to take detours when he was a child.

Over time, he became familiar with the entire Konoha.

Mei Terumi was happy to follow. Since Uchiha Zong said that he would let her have a new start in Konoha, she really wanted to give it a try.

"But Minister, don't you think this is rude?"

What made her feel helpless was that Uchiha Zong would buy a lot of snacks like meatballs from roadside stalls from time to time and stuff them into her hands.

Then this guy just ate while walking, and the way he looked really made her speechless.

She had never experienced the feeling of wandering around the streets so unscrupulously, buying whatever snacks she wanted and eating them while walking.

"Excuse me?" Uchiha Zong gave her a strange look and said, "Do you think there is room for you to work in that kind of street shop? Besides, when you were a ninja, you didn't have the experience of eating while performing missions?"

"This..." Mei Terumi was a little helpless. Although she had it, it was a mission.

She had received a relatively conservative education, but after much thought she decided to just let go of these things.

So she followed Uchiha Zong quietly, abandoning the long-maintained politeness, and followed Uchiha Zong's example and ate as they walked.

“This feeling is really good.”

Looking at the beautiful snack in her hand that she had never tried before, and experiencing this feeling, Mei Terumi couldn't help but smile.

But she felt a little uncomfortable because she found that many people on the street were looking in their direction.

There is no way. There are probably few residents in the entire Konoha who don’t know about the Uchiha Clan.

After all, he is the terminator of the war, and has been highly publicized by Konoha. He has even become the chief assistant and consultant of the Hokage.

Such a person will be the focus wherever he is. If it weren't for Mei Terumi being by his side, I don't know how many ninjas would want to say hello to him.

"Bullmaster, you are really popular in Konoha." Mei Terumi observed her surroundings for a while, and finally she couldn't help but sigh.

"It's okay. No matter what, I am a hero of Konoha." Uchiha Zong smiled.

Of course, he is more than just a hero, he is also one of the most powerful people in Konoha.

However, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional, thinking back to when he was in the Land of Whirlpools, he was still trembling with fear and even thought about leaving Konoha.

As a result, a few years passed in the blink of an eye, and he had climbed to his current position.

It can be said that he, who used to be a nobody, has now become extremely powerful!

“Maybe I could actually write a book called ‘My Struggle’?”

Uchiha Zong touched his lips, but finally he gave up the idea.

He couldn't draw, didn't have a beard, and Konoha's bread didn't sell for half a million.

The most important thing is that he was held back three times in the school exams, so he couldn't afford to take the exam for the fourth time.

"By the way, you said before that what Kirigakure did in the Land of Whirlpools was very bad."

As she walked, she seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Can you tell me what happened in the Whirlpool Country? I didn't participate in the war at that time, and the mission I performed was not on the battlefield, so..."

“That’s not a good memory.”

Uchiha Zong curled his lips, but finally he spoke.

"But if you want to hear it, I can tell you. Let's go and talk while we walk..."

……

"Kakashi, you're really hard to find."

On the other side of Konoha Street, Akai smiled and slapped Kakashi's shoulder hard.

With a slapping sound, Kakashi was almost slapped to the ground, which made Kakashi roll his eyes.

"Be careful, Kai."

Hong looked at Kakashi who was rubbing his shoulders with a speechless look on his face, and she couldn't help but shook her head.

"You know that Kakashi is now under the Anbu and doesn't have that much time."

It's no secret that Kakashi belongs to the Anbu. After all, this guy's white hair is really eye-catching.

Moreover, he often carries out missions in Konoha, so it is not surprising that he is seen and recognized by his former classmates.

Moreover, when he was on missions outside, his iconic short sword and lightning escape technique were often recognized by ninjas from other villages.

What's more, Konoha didn't care about such trivial matters. Over time, his identity was basically an open secret.

"You guys, are you going to send me straight to the hospital?"

After rubbing his shoulders for a while, Kakashi looked at Akai with dead eyes.

"I finally got my day off. If you send me to the hospital like this, I'd be really unlucky."

"Haha, sorry sorry!"

Akai immediately apologized with a smile, then he raised his thumb and his front teeth flashed a light.

"As an apology, I will punish myself by running upside down around Konoha ten times! Kakashi, do you want us to have a competition?"

"Not interested." Kakashi still rolled his dead eyes and shook his head decisively.

Although he felt that he had the physical strength to accomplish all of this, he did not want it to affect his mission after returning to Konoha after his vacation.

After knowing that Lin is still alive and that they can often meet in the Anbu, he has completely changed.

Whether it is his attitude towards life or his attitude towards tasks, he has become extremely positive.

And as he walked out of his inner shadow, he began to discover the beauty that he had previously ignored.

His teachers, his classmates, his friends, these people have always been around him and never left him.

He has already disappointed everyone, and this time he doesn't want to disappoint anyone again, especially he doesn't want to disappoint Uchiha Zong who rescued him with his own hands!

"By the way, Kakashi, since you're an ANBU, does that mean you get to see Mune more often?"

Suddenly, Xuanjian, who had been silent with a Senbon hanging in his mouth, couldn't help but speak.

"Mong has always been mysterious, if not for the recent announcement from Konoha.

When he said he became Konoha's chief assistant and advisor, I thought he was in the Anbu like you."

"Mong, he actually has a lot of things to do." When Kakashi heard this question, he suddenly found it a little funny.

Uchiha Mune has indeed always been in the Anbu, but he is not an ordinary Anbu, he is the minister who manages the entire Anbu!

However, Uchiha Zong is no longer in the Anbu. He went to the Hokage Building. Kakashi is very clear about this.

After all, even his teacher went, but that also meant that Lin went too.

This made Kakashi feel assured about Rin's safety, but at the same time he felt extremely helpless because the chances of them meeting each other would be relatively reduced.

"Hey, Kakashi, you really know the situation of Zong." Hong couldn't help but look a little happy when he heard it: "I haven't seen that guy for a long time. What is he busy with now?"

"This..." Kakashi hesitated for a moment, then he whispered: "You should have seen the announcement, that is part of his job."

"Chief Hokage Assistant and Advisor?" Kai was a little confused: "Although it sounds impressive, what exactly is it?"

"To put it simply, he needs to help Hokage with his work, and he has indeed entered the Hokage Building now." Kakashi spread his hands and said with a smile.

Although the position of 'Hokage's Chief Assistant and Advisor' confuses many people, after all, not many people can access the highest level of power.

But this matter is indeed not a secret, the whole village has already announced it, so Kakashi can naturally tell about it.

As an ANBU, he was still very capable, but just one sentence from him made Hong and the others stunned.

"Help the Hokage with his work?" Hong looked at Kakashi incredulously: "Matsu seems to be about the same age as us."

"But that's the truth."

Kakashi smiled and shook his head, his tone full of reverence.

"Zong is a true genius. He has a lot of things to deal with every day. His office is right next to the Hokage's office.

Right now, he might be slowly dealing with some difficult documents and various problems."

Besides, he also has to deal with Anbu matters!

Kakashi muttered to himself, but he didn't dare to sell out his boss.

Perhaps others were somewhat dissatisfied and unhappy about Uchiha Zong being suddenly promoted to such a high position.

He already knew from his sensei that Uchiha Mune's position could be considered as the position of Acting Hokage.

But he felt that Uchiha Zong was absolutely qualified and capable of sitting in that position!

Even in his heart, even if Uchiha Zong became Hokage, he would definitely support him fully.

"Oh, Zongzhen is pulling us further and further away." Hong couldn't help but sigh when she heard these words.

"Indeed, but it's not surprising."

Xuanjian nodded, but soon he started laughing.

“Back when we were in the Whirlpool Country, he was the one who led us to complete those impossible missions.

In the Grass Kingdom, he also did the impossible, otherwise how could we enjoy the peace we have now?"

"I just flip through documents all day long. I wonder if it will affect the practice of the sect."

Akai completely agreed with Xuanjian's words, but he was also a little worried.

"It seems that I have to find Zong and give him a good challenge in the future. I absolutely cannot let him fall behind like this."

Kakashi couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. What an outrageous thing his minister had done. If other people didn't know about it, didn't he, the Anbu, know it?

Are you worried that it will affect the Uchiha clan's practice and want to challenge him?

Kakashi didn't know why Kai had such an incredible idea, but he didn't intend to stop him. After all, this way he wouldn't be challenged by Kai all day long.

"Huh?" At this moment, Hong suddenly stopped and looked ahead in confusion.

After a long while, she turned her head and looked at Kakashi quietly: "Didn't you say that Zongjun is the assistant of the Hokage and is dealing with some difficult documents and various problems?"

"..." Kakashi couldn't help but feel a little upset at this time. He saw Uchiha Munemasa strolling with a woman in the distance.

From the looks of it, it doesn't seem like he's dealing with any documents or issues...

……

"How is the intelligence gathering on Kumogakure going?"
