Ayari was sitting on the sofa in her pajamas. When Sibi saw Zhen in her arms, she excitedly wanted to pounce on Zhen, but was hugged tightly by her.
Zhen walked to sit on the sofa opposite her and asked, "Aren't you asleep?"
Ayari looked away and said, "I woke up because of you."
"Where's Sibi?"
"I was woken up by you too."
"Woof!"
Ayari glanced at Zhen from the corner of her eye and saw that he was pouring water for herself with the teapot on the coffee table.
She said: "I wonder why the patriarch comes to visit you late at night?"
After saying that, she added: "If there is nothing important, please come back. I want to rest."
Zhenya said very bluntly: "I haven't seen you for two days, I miss you."
When Ayari heard this, she seemed to be frightened, and stood up immediately. Sibi in her arms also took this opportunity to break free, and ran to Zhen's side and kept rubbing his legs.
Ayari stood there stiffly, lowering her head and pursed her lips in silence.
After a long silence, she only said: "Don't say such misleading words."
Zhen calmly said: "What's the misunderstanding? Isn't it easy to understand?"
Ayari didn't dare to look at Zhen, so she slowly sat back on the sofa, folding her legs together, as if she had done something wrong.
She forced a smile and said: "Master Patriarch, please don't play riddles with me. I'm very tired. I have to look at wedding dresses early tomorrow morning."
"Your engagement has been cancelled."
Ayari was stunned, "You...why do you do this?!"
When she heard the news, she was shocked but not unhappy at all. It was too arrogant to insist that she was unhappy.
Zhendan said calmly: "I am the leader of the clan, and I have the final say."
He asked again: "Besides, don't you want to get married?"
"I……"
Ayari couldn't describe the feeling in her heart. She suddenly became aggressive when talking to her. She didn't leave any room for her and wanted to pierce the window paper.
This made her feel aggrieved. She felt that the other party did not care about her dignity at all, but she could only endure this emotion.
She took a deep breath and said, "Really, don't do anything you shouldn't do."
There was no sound from the other side. After a while, Ayari thought that her words had an effect and made the other party restrain themselves.
She couldn't help but look up and met his eyes looking at her. The warm yellow light in the room fell on his body, outlining his fine outlines. Those dark eyes made Ayali's heart tremble.
.
I heard Zhen say in a calm tone: "No one can stop what I want to do, and what I want will eventually be mine."
Ayari couldn't help but clenched her palms after hearing this.
"You should know what I mean. Think about it for yourself. I will give you time to persuade yourself."
"Because even if you refuse, it will be of no use."
After Zhen left, Sibi kept picking at the closed door, wondering why Zhen didn't take it with him.
Ayari sat there in a daze, motionless.
Of course she knew what he was really thinking, from the beginning, but she had never thought about it in that regard, and had always treated him as a child.
Later, she came back from the battlefield as if she was a changed person. She got close to him with the intention of comforting him, but gradually she felt very comfortable getting along with him. This guy suddenly matured a lot.
But Shin's performance at the clan meeting two days ago made her feel extremely strange. How he rose from a chuunin who lost his Byakugan to become the clan leader, Ayari still can't understand or imagine, and she doesn't understand him at all.
The ambition and ruthlessness he showed scared her.
This is no longer the boy next door who has followed him since childhood, but the leader of the Hyuga clan who is feared by all the clan members!
Thinking of the "ultimatum" Zhen gave herself just now, Ayari felt even more helpless. Was she destined to fall into his hands?
But their ages...
How would outsiders view them if this was spread?
Ayari couldn't sleep all night.
There was really no psychological burden at all and I slept peacefully.
He sees things like women very clearly, so he just needs to take his own step.
The next day.
In the morning, Orochimaru sent ANBU over to call Shin over.
When Zhen came to the office, he saw Orochimaru lying on the chair and the desk was piled with piles of documents.
"Hokage-sama, do you have anything to do with me?"
Zhen walked up to Orochimaru, and Orochimaru picked up a document and handed it to Zhen.
The above content is the village’s financial expenditure.
Orochimaru handed over another letter, which was a letter of opinion from the villagers.
I really found it interesting and said, "This is the basic job of Hokage."
Orochimaru said: "It's a waste of time, I don't have time to deal with this kind of thing."
He then added: "I am planning to build a special research institute to study Byakugan."
Zhenze gestured to the financial expenditure document in his hand: "The village does not have any surplus money."
Orochimaru said: "The daimyo will give it to you."
After Orochimaru succeeded him, the daimyo left Konoha Village and returned to his daimyo mansion.
"The daimyo will support you now, but you must also make some due political achievements."
Orochimaru felt irritated and asked directly: "Can you handle it?"
Zhen's eyes moved slightly: "Okay."
"Then leave it all to you."
Zhen looked at the table full of business to be handled and said, "Hokage-sama, there is something you need to pay attention to."
Orochimaru, who was about to get up and leave, glanced at the words and said, "Say."
"You don't have anyone available right now. Even the ANBU were left behind by the Sandaime."
"..."
"There are many things that should not be known to these Anbu. Who knows if there is any contact between them and the Sandaime. In this case, you can only rely on Danzo-sama's power, am I right?"
Orochimaru had nothing to say about this. Minato still had Shikaku and Haiichi under his command, but Orochimaru had no real power except for his reputation before he succeeded him as Hokage.
He had never cared about this before, and he didn't realize it until he started planning the Hokage position with Zhen. Almost everything he did was done with the cooperation of Danzo, and he had no power of his own.
!
This is also the reason why he has never fallen out with Danzo, he needs Danzo.
Otherwise, it won't be just Rizu who dies bearing the name of the mole.
Zhen said to Orochimaru: "Lord Hokage, you should consider cultivating your own power, at least eliminate these close Anbu."
Orochimaru started thinking there: "You are right."
Zhen then said: "How about I help you?"
Orochimaru asked: "How can you help me?"
"The members of my Hyuga clan can be temporarily absorbed into the ANBU. With the Caged Bird Curse imprinted on them, they will be the most loyal subordinates. Then Hokage-sama will not need to avoid them in anything he wants to do."
Orochimaru couldn't help but his eyes widened when he heard this, and suddenly said: "Who are they loyal to?"
Zhen's expression was as usual: "Being loyal to me means being loyal to you, isn't it?"
He then added: "Could it be that Hokage-sama still doesn't trust me?"
Orochimaru's eyes flickered and he said with a smile: "How could it be possible? You are my most trusted subordinate."
