Knock knock knock!!

In a series of firecrackers, Konoha ushered in the New Year.

Wealthy families hung red lanterns in front of their homes, while those who did not have money put a red blessing on their doorstep.

The whole Konoha is filled with the atmosphere of the new year.

However, in this joyous atmosphere, those orphans who lost their parents due to the war can only sit in cold homes and celebrate the New Year alone.

They sat in the cold room, their eyes flashing with remembrance and sadness.

In the past, when my parents were still around, they should have bought meat early today and cooked a hearty lunch then

Bang bang bang!!

A powerful knock on the door instantly pulled Kai out of his memory, and he looked up.

The old wooden door kept trembling, as if some peerless beast was hitting the wooden door outside, and the next moment it would break through the wooden door and appear in the house to eat him.

"It's coming, it's coming!"

Looking at the dust falling from the doorframe, Kai quickly stood up and shouted out the door, "The door is going to break." ”

Click!

After all, before the door could be opened, the wooden door cracked straight through the middle.

He looked at the shattered wooden door for a moment, and then a bright red came into view.

"Kai, I'm sorry, I'll fix your house in a moment."

A head poked out from behind the red and shouted, "Happy New Year, hurry up a little bit, Uchi-Potter has been unsalable recently, and I directly paid for half of it."

This year, you can only eat seafood. ”

"You guy."

Seeing the hill in front of him, and the Uchiha Asuka behind the hill, Kai's nose was sour, and his vision suddenly became a little blurred.

Rumble!

Asuka put the gift he was holding directly on the ground, and the snowflakes on the ground flew a little far away under the huge impact.

Taking a deep breath, he ignored Kai's scarlet eyes, looked up at the somewhat dilapidated house in front of him, and said with a frown, "Kai, today is a good day to break ground!"

Let's just dismantle it. ”

Hearing this, Kai subconsciously looked back at his broken house and said with some sadness.

"In the past, my father made up the house, although it was a little leaky, but it can still live, and I will mend the door for a while, and I can still live."

"Let's stay at a hot spring hotel tonight, what kind of home do you stay."

Asuka reached out and knocked twice in various places, and then removed the door frame.

Click!

Seeing that the door frames were all removed, Kai's eyes widened, and his voice was full of horror, "Asuka, what are you going to do?" Where do I live if you tear down your house? I can't afford to live in a hot spring hotel. ”

"Kai!"

Asuka suddenly turned his head, his face full of solemnity.

"You have to remember one sentence."

"What?"

"Don't ask how much money you have in your pocket, ask how many years of youth you have left.

Kai, how old are you this year, you haven't been to the hot spring inn yet, you have to know that enjoyment is also a way to burn youth."

Yes?

Hearing this, Kai was instantly stunned.

He looked at the bird who demolished his house for himself in a daze, and muttered to himself, "Don't ask how much money is in your pocket, ask how many years of youth are left, stay early and enjoy it early, and I feel uncomfortable staying late."

As he spoke, he pulled out his wallet and looked down to count it.

"Aside from the money to build a house, if I live in a hot spring hotel, the money in my bag should not be enough to stay for a week."

"A week??"

Asuka's eyes widened, and he said with a shocked expression, "Whoever is a good person will stay in the hot spring inn for a week, forget it for a day, and your house will be built tomorrow." ”

"But."

Thinking of the house built in one day, Kai blinked his eyes and said in a hesitant tone, "Will the house built in one day collapse?" I heard that there will be heavy snow tomorrow. ”

Syllable!

Asuka clasped his hands together, and the chakra in his body instantly flowed.

The art of shadow clones!

In an instant, the identical person appeared at the door of Kai's house.

Giving the five figures an order to continue demolishing the house, Asuka put his arm around Kai's shoulder and said, "I heard that [Handda] is still out of the stall today, so let's go eat a bowl of heart-warming luxury ramen first, and then we'll work when those craftsmen arrive."

Kai, you have to believe in the power of the police department, recently the police department is engaged in [police and people's family], they have gathered most of the craftsmen of the Fire Nation to help the villagers repair their houses.

I'll take this opportunity to get you a batch secretly. ”

"The Ministry of Police? By the way, Asuka, today is not the New Year, why are you so idle? ”

"Alas, something happened to the Uchiha recently, and I was fired by the police department, and the affairs on my body were instantly reduced by more than half."

"Failed in the struggle for power? Internal dumping? ”

"Can there not be so many conspiracy theories?"

"Asuka, it's not a conspiracy theory or a conspiracy theory, you think, you're the strongest Uchiha and you've been expelled, it's hard not to think about conspiracy theories."

"Kai, you can understand that a group of old men entered the police department with money and squeezed out of us."

"Asuka, you're so miserable!"

"It's okay, when those old men are dead, I'll just go back."

In the afternoon of the same day, after arranging Kai's affairs, Asuka went directly to Nanga Shrine to prepare for the last clan meeting of the year.

"Hey!"

Looking at the Nanga Shrine in front of him, Asuka couldn't help but sigh.

Nanga Shrine is still the former Nanga Shrine, and it hasn't changed at all over the years, and the clan will still be the same clan as it used to be, and it hasn't changed at all over the years.

Judging from the year he attended the clan meeting, Asuka can also deduce what the clan will be like in the past fifty years.

Not being able to discuss anything is the norm, and discussing something is the exception.

"It is said that the last time things were discussed at the clan meeting was seven years ago, when the Uchiha elected the patriarch, and Uchiha Fugaku was successfully elected as the patriarch of the Uchiha clan with a unanimous vote.

This is a rare time when no one raises objections at the clan meeting. ”

Thinking of this, he looked up at the old men standing in the cold wind.

I saw that the old men were naked and sturdy, and they put their hands into the snowdrifts as if they were pinching something.

When he got closer, he realized that the group of people had actually pinched the snow into the shape of kunai, and then arranged the kunai in a row.

"What are you doing?"

The old men didn't even look at Asuka, and pinched the kunai again.

"What are you doing, old man?"

Hearing this, Ryoichi raised his head and looked at the Great Elder not far away, and said with a gloomy face, "The old man doesn't know what he is doing, and when the old man comes here, he sees that Uchiha Saburo (Great Elder) has already taken off his clothes and is pinched in the cold wind. ”

As he spoke, he looked down at his right hand, which was already red and swollen from the cold, squinted his eyes and said, "Originally, the old man didn't want to do such an idiotic thing, but that old guy provoked me. He's provoking me."

The Great Elder raised his eyelids slightly and looked around at the old men who were pinching "kunai", and his heart was happy.

Look at you who don't freeze and cry today.

When Uchiha Fugaku and his son pushed open the door of the clan association, he was slightly stunned for a moment, and then he shrugged his nose and subconsciously sniffed the air around him.

This group of people didn't even eat???

Then, his gaze fell on the elders in the first row.

I saw that the elders were wearing thin clothes one by one, and then threw aside the shoes they had taken off, allowing the white gas on their feet to drift into the air.

A peculiar sour smell came back to my face.

How long has it been since he's smelled of stinky feet?

It's been about a year.

Compared with his father, who was relaxed, Itachi's face was a little dignified at this time.

It's not that my father didn't give an order not to allow their clan to eat something that tasted strange, but in the past, these people didn't listen, so they should eat or eat, and then my father simply didn't care.

And this time.

He smelled the smell of stinky feet in the air, and suddenly his stomach churned, and he almost vomited breakfast.

It stinks!!

Something wasn't quite right with this group of people, they didn't even eat anymore.

Then, he saw Uchiha Fugaku and Itachi sitting on the high platform, he looked down at the clansmen below, and then waved his hand to the great elder standing aside, signaling that it was time to start.

"Ahem~"

The ruddy-faced Grand Elder stood up, then took out a scroll from his bosom, unfolded it, and said.

"Today we are not going to talk about how the Uchiha became the Hokage.

On the last day of the year, the focus of our clan will be to take stock of last year's gains and losses and look forward to the future of the new year."

Every word doesn't say the Hokage, but every word implies the Hokage.

Asuka tilted his beak and subconsciously looked up at the ceiling.

Last year's gains and losses were [failed to be the Hokage], and looking forward to the future is [how to make the Uchiha a Hokage], and then continuing to hold a one-year clan meeting for the goal of [Hokage], and then the year-end clan meeting will summarize the gains and losses and look forward to the future.

He has already written the script, and it will definitely be like this at next year's clan meeting.
