Little by little, time passed, and soon it was noon.

"Fuyue, don't forget to prepare for your return." Leaving a word, Makoto disappeared from the office in an instant.

Fu Yue reluctantly stopped his pen, raised his hand and rubbed the back of his somewhat sore neck.

Makoto's "going back" is not a daily process of returning home from work, but the end of the year is approaching, and they must go back to the village to attend the annual year-end meeting of the clan after a year and a half in the cat ninja village.

At the year-end meeting of the previous year, because Makoto had just arrived at the cat ninja, and it was the busiest period for the railway project to be carried out, Makoto and Fugaku did not return to the village, but hastily dispatched a middle-level person in charge.

This year, the cat shinobi has achieved such great results, as the leader, Makoto and Fugaku, if they don't go back, it will be too much to say.

At the busiest time, even Makoto, who looks like a shopkeeper all day long, needs to keep attending meetings, meeting with big businessmen and noble envoys from all over the ninja world, and arguing with them about various interests, terms, and private contracts.

Thinking of the way Makoto sat down to cultivate, and then was disturbed by Fu Yue or other assistants in less than ten minutes, compared to today's situation, Fu Yue couldn't help but smile gloatingly, that guy who had always been calm and gentle, and finally even asked with a serious face, "Can I kill those merchants directly."

Of course, after the initial period, Makoto can now be his hands-off shopkeeper again, throwing all the specific affairs to Fuyue and the other clansmen in the office, while he hides aside and closes his eyes to cultivate.

Far from damaging Makoto's majesty as the supreme leader, on the contrary, when they saw the chakra flames that never stopped spinning and flying in Makoto's hands, almost all the clansmen would have a deep shock and awe on their faces.

The most awe-inspiring thing in the world is not that someone is working ten times harder than you, but that someone who is much stronger than you is still working ten times harder than you.

The entire Uchiha clan, no, the entire ninja world, all know that Makoto had suffered an almost incurable blow in the war in his early years, but he relied on his own efforts to find another way, relying on medical ninjutsu and strange power to make up for the lack of physical skills, and made almost unprecedented brilliant achievements in ninjutsu research.

Muji ninjutsu, in today's world, only another genius of Konoha Bo Feng Shui Gate can slightly compete with Makoto's brilliance, but if you talk about the real record, Makoto can stabilize the golden flash.

However, Makoto, who is known as the first person in the clan in ninjutsu, still studies ninjutsu without exception and slackness at any time when he has spare time!

How much of the so-called "combination of work and rest" is actually self-deception? Fugaku does not deny that sometimes a break can achieve better efficiency and results, but in the face of Makoto's unremitting efforts, all those who claim to combine work and rest, whether true or not, are just a joke.

Convincing, this is the state of mind of all the Uchiha who are in the cat shinobi at this time when facing the leader Makoto Uchiha.

Since I was busy with government affairs, how long has it been since I practiced well? Fugaku asked himself.

With a sigh, the second leader of this thriving Uchiha in the cat ninja, an outstanding figure of the younger generation who is rumored to be highly valued by the Great Elder, is rarely distracted at work......

#####

The sky was a cold iron gray, and it was noon, but it was almost dusk.

Although he has long been afraid of the cold and heat, when he came out of the office building, Makoto still subconsciously tightened the windbreaker on his body.

This year, there will probably be a rare heavy snowfall.

The warmest thing about this kind of weather is the aroma of food coming from home.

Hikari doesn't like too luxurious residences, on the contrary, the building she is most satisfied with is similar to the Konoha family residence, that kind of standard Japanese-style residence.

Not big, not too small, familiar, warm, comfortable.

The room was lit with a lamp on, a table of food was guarded, and the light was rarely sitting quietly on the side, holding a book in his hand, but his eyes were empty.

"Coming back?"

Seeing Makoto come in, Hikari put down the book and gave him a reproachful smile.

"Hmm."

No matter how many times he stresses it, Makoto will never shout "I'm back" when he gets home, at least not when he doesn't see anyone, let alone at an empty house.

But instead, the first thing Makoto does every time he gets home is to find his wife and gently hug her.

Sniffing the familiar aroma of his wife's hair, Makoto glanced at the cover of the book on the table and smiled at her.

Hikari slapped him angrily, broke away from his embrace, and helped him take off his clothes and hang them aside.

"Looks like I'm going to have to work harder." Makoto deliberately accentuated the tone of the word effort.

"Phew." Hikari finally couldn't help blushing, and she defended, "It was sent by my mother." ”

Makoto smiled without saying a word, sat down and picked up chopsticks.

"Go wash your hands!"

Hikari knocked his chopsticks open, and although his face was still a little blushing, he still showed his wife's momentum.

"Okay." Makoto stood up and washed his hands, and when he came back, he found that after a while, Hikari was in a daze again.

Cheng felt a pain in his heart inexplicably, hugged her directly from the back of the chair, and said with a little guilt: "Light, during this period of cat endurance, I have worked hard for you." ”

Hard work is not a lie, Cheng is the busiest time not to talk about, even when he is idle, he is mostly practicing at home, although he is only a brother and sister, he is already used to the quiet of Cheng at home, but in the past two years of marriage, Cheng has not been able to go out with the light for a good time.

What's more, since coming to the cat ninja, Makoto strongly requested that the captain of the light be canceled, and never let her go out on a mission, although Makoto does not regret that this is the need to protect the light, but at this time, in the face of the rare quiet and weakness of the light, it still makes Makoto begin to reflect on whether he is a little selfish.

In the warm embrace of her husband, she said quietly: "No, Cheng, a period of time here is my happiest day." ”

I couldn't hear anything from her tone, and I knew that it was impossible to find out what she didn't want to say from the light, so Makoto changed the topic and said, "It's the New Year, when I go back and finish my debriefing, I'll take you to the Snow Country for a walk?" This year, there will be a grand event of the 'Ice City'. ”

They love snow very much, and once said that they must name their children "snow".

Hearing her husband say this gently, she immediately got rid of that inexplicable emotion, raised her face and said happily: "Okay, you agreed, but you are not allowed to cheat." ”

Cheng couldn't help but be happy in his heart, he paused and said, "Definitely." ”

"Ahh Light suddenly stood up and walked to the window.

Outside the window, large snowflakes fluttered down, covering the ground in a layer of plush white in a moment.

Makoto walked over and took her hand.

I hope this snow will bring a good harvest to the coming year.
