The cold wind in the early morning blew through the deserted courtyard, and there was a layer of frost on the flowers, plants and leaves, which was a sign of winter.
Ayano put on extra clothes when she got up. She couldn't sleep well all night, which made her feel uncomfortable all over.
As soon as I picked up the broom standing on the side, I saw a figure hurriedly walked in.
It's a daily difference.
Hizashi paused when he saw Ayano, and then said: "I'm looking for Shin."
He came in a hurry early in the morning, probably because he had something important to do.
Ayano said: "Sir, I haven't gotten up yet. I slept late last night."
Hizashi said: "Go and call him, I have something important to do."
The two of them met without saying a word. After Hiashi's death, when the family members were alienating Ayano, Hizashi once visited Ayano, but the relationship at this moment seemed to be even more distant.
Hizashi watched Ayano's back as she walked into the living room without saying a word, and then followed her in.
Ayano came to the real bedroom and knocked gently on the door.
"Sir, Hizashi is here."
After a while, a voice sounded from inside: "Come in."
Hizashi stood in the living room and watched Ayano walk into the real bedroom.
This bedroom is different from when Rizu stayed there before. There is still incense in the room, and the air is filled with an elegant fragrance.
I really don't like sleeping on tatami, so I changed it to a big bed. There is nothing extra in the room, except for the wardrobe, which is a bookshelf.
Ayano discovered that he really likes reading.
Although the bed was very big, only Zhen was lying on it. He was not used to having people sleeping next to him in this world.
"What's the matter with him?" Zhen asked, already sitting up on the bed and rubbing his sleepy eyes.
"I don't know, I just said it is very important."
Ayano took out her outer clothes from the closet and helped her get dressed. She was the only one who could do this. None of the previous maids, Akuri, had done this.
I really yawned and stretched.
"Are you sleepy?" Ayano suddenly asked in a low voice.
Zhen raised his eyes and looked at her: "What do you think?"
Ayano lowered her head and stood in front of Zhenzhen to help him fasten the buttons.
"If you're sleepy... just go to bed early in the future. You're still young and it's not good for your health."
She seemed to be able to feel Zhen's gaze, lowered her head, and finally said: "I'm sorry, I'm too talkative."
Zhen walked out of the room and said to Hizashi in the living room: "Come to the study."
The two of them went to the study and sat down. Hizashi closed the door and handed a pamphlet to Zhen.
When I opened it and took a look, I saw densely packed things recorded inside.
Hizashi said slowly: "The mercenary Akatsuki organization of the Rain Country is currently employed in the Earth Country Iwagakure Village. It is somewhat famous in both the Rain Country and the Earth Country, and its leader Yahiko is also very popular."
I just looked at the brochure he handed me quietly and said nothing.
Hizashi continued: "The Akatsuki organization is developing very rapidly. The internal members are not just interested in each other, but more like a group of like-minded people coming together. These people are all willing to follow their leader Yahiko."
Zhen suddenly asked: "What do you think of Yuyin Village's attitude toward Xiao?"
Hizashi was stunned when he heard this, then lowered his head and said: "I'm sorry, I didn't think of this. I was derelict in my duty."
Shinori said: "It doesn't matter, you can guess this kind of thing. With such a group of people right under your nose, how can Yuyin Village just sit idly by and watch."
He nodded to Hizashi and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Hizashi."
Hizashi said: "It's not hard work to do what you do."
Zhen said again: "You should rest for a while first, and then I will arrange an important position for you."
Hizashi was surprised when he heard this: "What position?"
"You'll know then."
Hizashi was thoughtful, and then he hesitated to speak.
When Zhen saw this, he asked: "What's wrong?"
Hizashi pondered for a moment and said: "Ayano now..."
"Now you are my servant here." Zhen took the words directly and said, and then asked: "Why, are you feeling distressed?"
Hizashi smiled and said: "Why do I feel bad? This is good and can protect her."
Zhenhu said again: "By the way, Hizashi, what are your plans for your marriage? If you have someone you like, you can tell me. It doesn't matter even if it's from outside the clan."
Hizashi said that he was not interested in this matter now and would put it aside for the time being, and then said goodbye.
When I walked out of the study, I saw Ayano who was cleaning the yard. I could tell that she didn't often do these things and her movements were a bit clumsy.
Hizashi stood in the living room for a while until Ayano noticed him.
She smiled and said, "Are you done talking?"
"Um."
"Is your true lord still in the study?"
"Um."
"Then I should make breakfast." Ayano put down the broom in a hurry.
"Are there no other servants?" Hizashi couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, I am learning to cook now and watching from the side."
Seeing her leaving in a hurry, Hizashi took a deep breath and left.
In the morning, Zhen came to the Hokage Building as usual, but Fugaku took the initiative to find him.
"What's wrong, Fugaku-senpai?" Zhen asked in surprise, standing up from his seat.
Fugaku looked directly at Zhen and asked: "Zhen-kun, what is going on about the village police force?"
Zhen Wenyan said: "Senior Fugaku, are you talking about Lord Danzo? This is what Hokage-sama means. Last time I conveyed the meaning of Senior Fugaku to Lord Hokage, and also said that outstanding personnel can be selected from the ninjas in the village to supplement them.
Go in."
Fugaku asked: "At that time, did Hokage-sama say that he would be recruited from the base to join the police force?"
Zhen shook his head and said: "Hokage-sama only said that he would consider it at that time. I don't know what happened next. I only knew about the addition of the root members to the police force."
Fugaku's face was slightly ugly. He knew very well who Gen was. By letting Gen's people enter the police force, was he going to completely discredit their Uchiha?
He was originally thinking about how to persuade the tribesmen to accept outsiders, but at this moment he was the first one who refused to agree.
Zhen looked at Fugaku's face and said: "Danzo-sama's Gen are all elite ninjas. I think they are qualified for this position. I also hope that senior Fugaku's clan can live in harmony with Gen's ninjas."
These words were extremely jarring to Fugaku's ears. He asked, "Where is Hokage-sama now? I want to find him."
Zhen nodded: "Okay."
Then he told him the location of Orochimaru's research institute.
Fugaku left in a hurry, but at noon he came to the Hokage's office again.
Seeing this, Zhenzhen smiled and asked, "Has Fugaku-senpai seen Hokage-sama?"
Fugaku's expression was calm. Although the person saw it, the matter was not accomplished.
He asked Orochimaru to take back his life, but Orochimaru talked nonsense with him, and his final answer was no, saying that Fugaku really couldn't accept it, so he could go to Danzo to talk.
Fugaku walked up to Zhen, took a deep breath and said, "Zhen-kun, you have to help me."
He looked surprised: "What does Fugaku-senpai need from me?"
Fugaku continued: "I am willing to take charge of the Konoha Police Force with Hinata."
Zhen shook his head when he heard this: "This kind of thing is your Uchiha's specialty, we Hinata can't do it."
Fugaku directly showed his cards and said: "Zhenjun, you can make some conditions! As long as it's within your ability, you can do whatever you want!"
