Chapter 33: Into the Shadows

Walking into the room, looking around, the bright sunlight spilled down from the window, and the pastries on the table were also warmed by the sun, and there was a strange smell of sunshine.

Asuka tasted a piece of pastry, closed his eyes and chewed it.

Well...

It actually smells weird, but it's not the smell of spoiled food.

Opening his eyes and looking at Mikoto, who was sitting opposite, Asuka picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, then spoke.

"Thank you, Mikoto-sama, for your hospitality, Captain Fugaku?"

Hearing this, Uchiha Mikoto watched the other party swallow the whole pastry, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he said with a smile.

"How does it taste?"

"Not bad!"

Although the food was a little unpalatable, Asuka still praised the other party as usual, after all, he couldn't say that the food was unpalatable in front of others.

Then he picked up another piece of pastry from the table, put it in his mouth and chewed it gracefully.

Well... It's really hard to eat...

"Fuyue, he was called out just now, and Asuka-kun will wait here for a while."

"Good!"

Asuka nodded, then picked up another piece of pastry and tasted it, I have to say, this thing can be eaten in addition to not tasting very good.

As the wife of the patriarch of the Uchiha clan, she also wants face, and she definitely can't give herself expired things, which is probably the taste.

Thinking of this, he picked up a piece of pastry again and tasted it.

Well... It's really unpalatable, and I'm not used to eating four pieces.

"So delicious?"

"Very good!"

Looking at Asuka who gave a thumbs up, Uchiha Mikoto glanced at the pastry on the plate, her eyes full of doubt.

She researched a plate of pastries this morning, but she didn't know which part went wrong and caused the newly baked pastry to be unpalatable, and she was going to throw it out after tasting a piece.

As soon as she walked to the front yard, she saw that Zhishui had brought the bird in, and she, as the host, naturally couldn't ignore the two of them, so she simply brought pastries over to entertain her.

When she put the pastry on the table, poured a glass of water, and just finished asking the other party what he was doing, she saw Asuka reach for the failed pastry.

And the idea of blocking was directly pressed into her heart.

"Asuka-kun, do you really think it's delicious?"

Seeing that the other party was sending pastries to his mouth one by one, Uchiha Mikoto frowned lightly and asked cautiously.

"It's delicious, can't you see it?"

"You can see it..."

Looking at Asuka with a look of enjoyment, Uchiha Mikoto looked at the pastries with some hesitation, and then she reached out and picked up a piece and looked at it in front of her eyes for a while.

Could it be that only the one you taste is a failure, and the rest are successful?

If that's the case... When the ferret came back hungry, he just had some to eat.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Mikoto took a light bite, and after chewing it in her mouth, the smile on her face froze slightly.

Sure enough, this is a failure.

It can be said that you are ignorant after tasting it once, but you can actually taste it twice after tasting a failed plate.

I'm so stupid!

She felt a pair of donkey ears grow on her head in an instant, and the smile on Asuka's face, although it was not the same as just now, could vaguely feel that the other party was mocking her.

??

Seeing Uchiha Mikoto's eyes staring at him, Asuka glanced at the missing pastry in the other party's hand and spoke.

"Mikoto-sama, the taste of the pastry is quite unique this time."

"Well, it's quite unique."

She raised her head and looked at the Uchiha boy with a respectful expression and a look of enjoyment of food, and her heart was a little complicated.

At such an age, he had such a mind, in order to deceive himself that the pastries were good, he actually ate most of the plates.

Good!

Seeing that she actually took a small bite and ate it, Asuka looked at the pastry in his hand in surprise, stroked his chin with one hand, and looked at the other party's eyes full of scrutiny, and said.

"Delicious?"

"Well, it's delicious."

Is that so?

Seeing Uchiha Mikoto nodding at him, a gentle smile appeared on his face, and Asuka had a solemn look on his face, and he said secretly in his heart.

Is this guy losing his sense of taste because of some terminal illness?

"Madame, stick out your tongue, I suspect you may be sick."

Well??

Seeing that Uchiha Asuka's brows were furrowed into Sichuan characters, Uchiha Mikoto's heart suddenly burst, she knew the other party's medical skills.

Is there really something wrong with you?

Thinking of this, she subconsciously closed her eyes and stuck out her tongue.

After Asuka caught his tongue and looked back and forth for a while, he blinked, and the words "doubtful life" were written all over his face.

I'm not sick!!

But the pastries are really unpalatable... Normal people's taste buds must be very repulsive to this thing... How is it possible to eat and laugh at the same time.

A moment later.

Looking at the back of Uchiha Mikoto hurrying to the hospital, he sat back in his chair a little dazed.

Until now, Asuka has not even doubted his own medical skills, and he has never suspected that the other party is also like him, and he is forced to eat.

...

It wasn't until Fugaku came back from running errands outside that he looked at Asuka who was sitting in a chair with a suspicious look on his face and asked.

"What happened?"

"I'm a little skeptical..."

???

A row of question marks instantly appeared above Fu Yue's head, but he didn't have any research on medical skills, just when the other party had encountered some incurable disease.

Thinking of this, he sat on the throne and said in a low voice.

"This morning, Hokage-sama sent someone to inform me that you will report in the shadows tomorrow."

At this time, I saw Fu Yue put up two fingers and continued.

"After joining the Shadows, you must work diligently and always remember the glory of the Uchiha."

"There is one more thing you should also keep in mind, although the four generations of Hokage have no ill will towards our clan, Elder Konoha still has a lot of power in their hands, and it is not difficult to imagine that in the future, they may secretly influence some of the decisions of the four generations of Hokage.

But that's why we need our own eyes and ears.

In general, the Uchiha clan supports any decision made by the four Hokages, but we have to have our own opinions on some of the interests of the clan. ”

"Understood!"

Asuka nodded, isn't he a spy, and he can't be a spy for a long time, just over seven months.

After three generations take the throne, he is very likely to be expelled from the secret register.

...

Meanwhile.

At the home of the four generations of Hokage, Kushina picked up the file on the table, and while receiving the feed from Bo Feng Shuimen, he watched the materials that Shuimen brought home.

Did Uchiha Asuka find an apprentice?

It seems that a lot of interesting things have happened during this time.

"Watergate, is he mentally okay?"

Thinking that due to the reason of the three wars, many ninjas in the village have lost their companions one after another, and their bodies and spirits have been tormented by continuous nightmares, which makes themselves full of darkness, not to mention the emotionally rich Uchiha.

And Uchiha Asuka is one of those who have lost their companions.

"No problem!"

Bo Feng Shuimen peeled an apple in his hand and said with a smile.

"He's mentally tested and it's not bad.

And he also accepted an apprentice, and the hole in his heart should be gradually filled, and it will not go to the dark. ”

"Really?"

After glancing at the information with some suspicion, Jiu Sinai opened his mouth to take a slice of apple and muttered.

"I just saw the fat psychic beast on the other side and remembered something.

I accidentally stepped on the fat cat's tail before, and when he looked at me with his writing wheel eyes, I could feel the strong pupil power of the other party, and his ability was higher than most of the dark parts.

Since he's mentally fine, where are you going to put him in? ”

Looking at Uzumaki Kushina, who was pregnant, Mizumon scratched his head and smiled.

"Or maybe it's the same as Kakashi, he's heard that he's good at medical ninjutsu."

Take care of me?

Jiu Sinai thought of the old men in the upper echelons of Konoha and shook his head directly.

How could that group of people let the Uchiha come into contact with the Nine-Tails?

...
