Chapter 94: Uchiha's Superpower: I'm Very Rich! (Please Subscribe!) Asuma stood there dumbfounded, as if he hadn't heard clearly. "Red, what did you say? I think I didn't hear it clearly..." "You've always been pushing me to leave Uchiha's house, right? Well, let me tell you, there's no need anymore." Yuhi Kurenai coldly snorted, "I've already gotten used to living in Uchiha's house. There's no need to move!" "After all, I've already given birth to two children for him. Both me and the children are very comfortable. You don't need to worry about us." Asuma was completely stunned. Although Yuhi Kurenai had been living a secluded life for the past two years and had less contact with outsiders, Asuma never expected this outcome. After all, as a ninja, it was normal to have long-term missions that kept them away from home. When Asuma became a guardian ninja, it was normal for him to not return home for half a year or even a year. Asuma's mission frequency was neither high nor low, but with the ever-changing situation in the ninja world, many of Konoha's missions were aimed at other countries, inevitably prolonging the time spent away. In addition, other people also took missions and needed to go out.
So it wasn't just Yuhi Kurenai, he, Kakashi, and others were also often apart. But he really didn't expect this outcome! "How is this possible, you and him... How is this possible?!" Asuma took three steps back, his eyes filled with disbelief. "Wait! The children!" "Two children. If they're not twins, then...?" "Yes." Yuhi Kurenai's pretty face blushed slightly, but she still bit her lip lightly and said firmly, "It's just as you think. We've been together for a long time, but it hasn't been made public." "And now, I think it's time to make it public!"
"No! Hong, how could you do this?!" Asuma was completely confused and said in a flustered manner, "Did he force you? No! He must have forced you!" "I'm going to kill him right now!" "Who do you want to kill? The father of my child?" Yuuhong's voice suddenly turned cold. "Also, I have already married into the Uchiha clan, so please call me Uchiha Hong. Don't casually call me Hong anymore!" "We're not that familiar!" Upon hearing this, Asuma felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His expression changed several times, from confusion to incomprehension, and finally turned into anger. "Hong! Why did you marry him?!" Asuma became even angrier, his eyes almost filled with the desire to kill. "That guy has dozens of wives!" "How could you be interested in someone like him?" "What makes me worse than him?" Asuma's heart was filled with anger. However, Yuuhong simply said calmly, "Xiayan is much better than you. At least he doesn't force a woman who has nothing to do with him to make decisions for her." Asuma and Hong eventually parted ways on bad terms.
Because of the incident, the news quickly spread. Regardless of Asuma being the "Hokage's son" or Hong being the "strongest genjutsu ninja in Konoha," they were both well-known figures. Such Eight Trigrams naturally spread and grew bigger. Even Xiayan couldn't help but laugh and cry a little. Because although he knew that Yuuhong was becoming more and more accustomed to the Uchiha lifestyle, she herself had not yet made the decision to truly marry him.
She is still hesitating, still struggling. Although as the child grows older, the comfort zone remains as comfortable as ever, and she becomes more and more lazy, unwilling to leave the comfort zone. But she has never made up her mind. Asuma's pressure, on the contrary, made Xi Ri Hong determined and decided to accept the current life. At first, it might have been just angry words, but later on, Xi Ri Hong did not regret it. "Although others may gossip, it is still better than being with a man like Asuma who wants to control everything!" This is her idea! On one hand, as an independent woman, she is unwilling to accept polygamy, considering it as a personal inequality. But on the other hand, no matter what others say, she is determined to do what she wants to do according to her own thoughts! Natsuhiro naturally encourages this. On the same day, he welcomed Xi Ri Hong into the house with a bridal sedan chair, treating her with all the formalities of a wife, without any thoughts of "since you have already given birth to my child, you have to stay by my side, there is no need to make things complicated". Xi Ri Hong looked at the solemn ceremony and felt a little relieved. Perhaps her decision was not wrong. And in her emotional state, Natsuhiro also received a return gift from Xi Ri Hong that day. Because Xi Ri Hong had just given birth and her body was still in the recovery period, it was naturally inconvenient for them to share a room. But after all, they were newlyweds. On the day when any wife enters the house, Natsuhiro would only stay in that wife's room. This is the minimum respect.
However, unlike other concubines, Xiri Hong's body was not convenient, and Xia Yan himself was prepared to rest obediently for the night. But the result... "It's okay," Xiri Hong blushed and whispered, "There are many other ways, not just this one..." Xia Yan looked at Xiri Hong, shocked. I didn't expect you to play like this.
Are you sure your name is Xiri Hong? Not Anko? Meanwhile... News of Asuma also reached the ears of the Third Hokage. "Oh, is that so? Asuma, this child, has grown up and is still jealous of others... He really doesn't understand," the Third Hokage listened to the report from the Anbu, shaking his head helplessly. Then he began to deal with other matters. About three hours later... The Third Hokage held a mission scroll, hesitating. "Ah, there are too few Jōnin in the village, and they are all working hard," the Third Hokage sighed softly, "But this mission can only be completed by a Jōnin... Send me the list of Jōnin who are still in the village." Soon, the secretary brought the list. The Third Hokage, wearing glasses, looked at the list, left and right.
He suddenly slapped his head and said, "Oh, Xia Yan Jōnin hasn't been on a mission for so long!" "Although I understand the difficulties he faces in reviving the Uchiha, the village is currently in a crisis, so please assign him this mission." And so, A mission order from the Hokage was delivered to Xia Yan. [Rank B Mission: Assassinate the Left Guard of the Lightning Country, 'Kakishi Motoharu'.] The position of the Left Guard is a military position, not a high rank, but it holds local military power. The key is that the location of this 'Kakishi Motoharu' is right at the supply depot of the Cloud Shinobi Village, surrounded by patrolling Cloud Shinobi. On the surface, assassinating a low-ranking official may not even qualify as a B-rank mission. But in reality, this mission definitely carries risks close to an S-rank! "Is this revenge? Is this revenge?" Anko's chest heaved with anger, her eyes widened. "Could it be that even the Hokage would seek personal revenge?" Yuuhi Kurenai's expression also turned grim. She couldn't help but recall Asuma's appearance when she wasn't part of the Uchiha clan. Changing her teammates, assigning her the same mission as Asuma... It's truly sickening! The only question is whether it was Asuma's doing or the Third Hokage's action. AX...... Could it be both?
"I'm sorry, Xiayan, it's all because of my stubbornness..." Xia Ri Hong's face turned red with embarrassment. This mission is not easy. With Xia Yan's strength as a Jōnin, he might have to risk his life to complete it. "Hey, what are you thinking?" Xia Yan couldn't help but chuckle. "It's just a mission. Do you really think I would go to my death?" "Then are you going to refuse?" Anko asked in surprise. "As ninjas, we can't refuse the Hokage's missions." "Who said I was going to refuse?" Xia Yan smiled. "Don't forget, we Uchiha have special abilities." "Special abilities? What special abilities?" The two women looked at him curiously. "Our Uchiha's special ability is called: I'm very rich." Xia Yan smiled and increased the mission reward by double, then handed it over. With the generous reward, ninjas quickly came to claim the mission and went to complete it. Before long, news of the mission's completion arrived, and Zhen Yan went directly to sign the report for completing the mission - a report that was written by the ninja himself! Anko: Xiayan: Third Hokage: They never expected Xia Yan to do such a thing. It completely blindsided the ninjas' perspective! After all, ninjas primarily complete missions for money. Who would have thought that Xia Yan would simply pay to have someone else solve it? But even the Third Hokage couldn't find fault with it - ninjas are allowed to use external assistance when completing missions. For example, they can spend money to purchase information to aid in completing the mission. Xia Yan took it a step further - he directly paid to have the mission completed.
This is just... Third Hokage's mouth twitched, but he could suppress the Uchiha within the rules, and the Uchiha could play their tricks within the rules. Everything was reasonable and legal. Next, Third Hokage frequently assigned tasks to Xia Yan. Xia Yan casually outsourced all the tasks. Third Hokage hinted that the Chūnin in the village should not accept Xia Yan's tasks. Then, the next second, Xia Yan contacted Akatsuki. Third Hokage specifically assigned a confidential mission that should not be disclosed to outsiders, in order to isolate the possibility of Xia Yan hiring people. Then Xia Yan agreed on the surface, but as soon as he took a step out of the village, he turned back. After wandering the streets for a long time and eating a lot of snacks, he finally went to the Hokage's office to report - "I'm sorry, Lord Hokage, the mission failed this time." Ah? Why did it fail?
Because as soon as I left, I suddenly discovered Orochimaru's trace, so I had no choice but to retreat... What? There was no trace of Orochimaru at the gate? How would I know? As soon as I saw him, I quickly withdrew! Why don't you check it carefully? As for why I didn't fight Orochimaru desperately... Come on, I'm just an ordinary Jōnin. How could I not fear Orochimaru, whom even you couldn't kill? Third Hokage, who was stuck with a set of excuses, had to quickly arrange for other ninjas to take over - extremely dangerous high-level missions often had significant consequences and could cause great damage to Konoha if delayed! I don't know what Third Hokage was thinking with this back and forth, but Xia Yan seemed to be having fun.
Sasuke, Yuhi Kurenai, Anko, and others looked displeased. "This is targeting us Uchiha!" Sasuke said with a disgruntled expression. "Now I understand why my father had several arguments with our clan members in the past. This is clearly targeting us!" Although Sasuke was young at the time and didn't know much, even he could sense the atmosphere among the Uchiha. Yuhi Kurenai also snorted, "I thought the Third Hokage was a qualified and good Hokage, but now I'm disappointed!" Anko was even more straightforward, saying, "In recent years, Konoha has been declining. This must be the fault of the Third Hokage! The 17 Uchiha members are also indignant." However, Nara Shikamaru chuckled lightly. "Why bother taking it to heart... After all, the Third Hokage has worked hard and achieved a lot. It wouldn't be surprising if he died at any time, Guy." "Why do we need to be so calculative?" Everyone was confused. What kind of reasoning was this? However, Yamanaka Ino seemed to be deep in thought. After a while, due to the increasingly tense situation in the ninja world, the Third Hokage decided to hold a joint Chunin Exam to showcase the strength of the new generation of Konoha and maintain the precious peace they had. At this moment, Nara Shikamaru, who had grown a little tired of it all, smiled faintly. "Here it comes again!"
