Chapter 38 The Embarrassed Ninja Clan, Minato’s Admiration (Ch 38)

“Are you sure you saw it right, and that you were wearing casual clothes?”
“No matter how bad my eyesight is, there is no way I can’t even recognize Hokage.” Nara Shikaku rolled his eyes, feeling helpless about his father’s questioning.
“Casual clothes?” Zhen Yi and Qu Feng lowered their heads and fell into deep thought.
Like the other two, Lurong’s brain was working at high speed at this moment.
He was wearing casual clothes, which meant that he went there in the identity of Sarutobi Hiruzen. At present, there was only one person in the Uchiha clan who could invite him.
Uchiha Haruki.
But the key point is that the political purpose of Harumitsu’s wedding is extremely obvious. If Sarutobi Hiruzen does not go, he will just pretend that nothing happened.
What bothered him was that he went there, but in casual clothes.
He really couldn’t tell what Sarutobi Hiruzen’s attitude towards Uchiha was.
Is it to deal with the impending war, appease the Uchiha, or maintain the previous suppression policy?
In just a few seconds, his brain carried out more than a dozen complex relationship deductions, and in the end, there was only one option that could guarantee that there would be no mistakes.
Shikaku turned his gaze to Akimichi Norifuge: “Norifuge, change into casual clothes and go to the Uchiha clan’s wedding. This time I can only rely on you.”
“Just go and meet Sarutobi Hiruzen as a friend. You don’t need to discuss any political affairs, just have a small talk.”
Qiu Daoqufeng nodded, roughly understanding what he meant.
“You mean you’re going to eat for free?”
“almost.”
“Then I understand.” Qiu Daoqufeng stood up and couldn’t help but start to look forward to it.
This arrangement was exactly what he wanted.
After Akimichi Tofu left, Shikaku asked Shikaku to return to the Uchiha wedding again. He didn’t need to take the initiative to do anything, he just needed to pay a little attention to the movements of other ninja clans.
Shan Zhongzhen looked at Lu Rong with some confusion at this time: “Is this really okay?”
“Even if he’s wearing civilian clothes, he’s still the village’s Hokage.”
“The Uchiha incident is of great importance. It has been suppressed since the time of the Second Hokage. Now the attitude of the Third Hokage is hard for even me to guess.”
“At this point, we don’t have to make the right choice, but at least we can’t make the wrong one.”
“Now, we can only play it safe.” Lurong said helplessly.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, the third generation, does not have the strength of the first generation to suppress the heroes of the ninja world, nor does he have the strong political skills of the second generation, but he is particularly good at playing with people’s hearts and balancing the pros and cons.
For the sake of his family, he had to be careful.
…
Nanga Shrine, Shikaku followed Akimichi Toukaze not far behind and soon arrived here.
As soon as he entered the shrine, he found that the seats everywhere were almost full, with only a few seats left empty.
If he hadn’t gone back to pass on the message to his father, he wouldn’t have fallen into this situation.
Just as he was about to squat in the corner, a hand patted his shoulder.
“Shikaku, why are you wearing a wig today?”
These words startled Shikaku, and he turned around to see that it was Minato standing behind him.
Turns out to be an acquaintance.
Shikaku breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, “Don’t reveal my identity. My father has a mission for me. Keep it secret.”
Minato didn’t quite understand the point of Shikaku’s disguise. He was just wearing a wig and his lazy look really didn’t change at all. Anyone familiar with him should be able to recognize him.
“All right.”
“Oh, by the way, don’t you have a place to sit? There are a few empty seats over there, Kushina. I’ll take you there.”
Minato’s words gave Shikaku hope. He didn’t want to stay squatting all the time without even being able to eat lunch.
“Then please, thank you!”
The two came to the round table in the front row.
Nawaki, Kushina, Minato, and himself, except for them, the rest are almost all of the same age as the Uchiha and Inuzuka families.
They may not be in the same grade, but they are all classmates in the Ninja School.
On the other side, Akimichi Tofu also sat next to Sarutobi Hiruzen wearing a loose khaki kimono.
“Hiruzen, long time no see. I haven’t sat with you like this for many years, ever since you became Hokage.”
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Akimichi Norifuze coming alone in his attire, guessed the attitudes of the Ino, Deer, and Chou tribes, and smiled: “There’s nothing we can do, it’s all for the village.”
“It’s a rare gathering. I heard that there is good wine from the Warring States Period today. Let’s get ready.”
He raised his hand to wipe his saliva, picked up the apple on the table, put it into his mouth and started eating.
“Then I must not miss it. Fortunately I came, otherwise I would have lost a lot of money.”
The two of them sat on the chairs chatting and laughing.
However, it was because of the appearance of Akimichi Qufeng that many other family leaders felt a little embarrassed at the moment.
They all changed into kimonos with their family emblems, and even brought some expensive gifts, many of which had already been given away.
Among the several clan leaders, at the end of the crowd, Aburame Shiki of the Aburame clan was like air and was ignored by everyone.
Quietly retreat into the crowd and sit down in a secluded corner.
He originally had the same purpose as other ninja clan leaders, wanting to express his support for the Hokage.
But since only Akimichi Tofu could sit next to Sarutobi Hiruzen now, no one else dared to step forward, which made the situation a little awkward.
It was also thanks to the fact that the presence of the Aburame clan was thinner than air, otherwise he would have been one of those embarrassed people.
Not long after, Uchiha Togashi and Inuzuka Hao came to Sarutobi Hiruzen’s table and sat down together, and they greeted each other.
In addition to the two of them, there was also Akien’s father Inuzukano, and beside him, Kurofu and Bailan appeared particularly polite, turning into guards and standing in front of the table.
As time passed, it was noon, banners were put up on both sides, and everyone fell silent at this time.
Qingguang, dressed neatly and gorgeously in a black suit, walked forward and came onto the stage.
She revealed a smile that was as gentle as the sunshine and as refreshing as the autumn breeze.
“Dear guests, respected seniors, and lovely children, good afternoon.”
Regardless of gender, age or status, the sunshine never faded.
Everyone applauded, especially Minato who was sitting in the front row, looking at the smile on Harumi’s face.
He could clearly feel that for a moment, the senior’s eyes were on him and they met each other’s gazes.
At that moment, he seemed to see a world full of warmth and everyone living in harmony and friendship.
Beautiful, pure, and dreamy.
“Is this, Qingguang-senpai?”
Before, he had only heard of Qingguang’s deeds in the village, but had never seen him.
But today, after seeing it with his own eyes, Minato secretly made up his mind that in the future he must become an excellent ninja like Uchiha Harumitsu, someone who can bring warmth to everyone!
