Naruto: Sukuna Jinchuriki, I am Uchiha.

"welcome!"

"Mirror...Lord Mirror!"

The barbecue restaurant is an important source of income for the Akimichi family, and it is managed by an elder of the Akimichi family who naturally knows Uchiha Kagami.

"The complete set, three servings to start, thank you."

Uchiha Kagami casually found a seat and sat down; it was his first time eating at a restaurant outside the clan's territory.

Hopefully, the man who makes hand-burned food won't be too sad if he finds out.

Despite their fear, the Akimichi clan members personally went to the kitchen to keep an eye on things, determined to select the best and most beautiful meat to serve!

Tender slices of meat are placed on the grill, and as they sizzle, the fat gradually seeps out, releasing an enticing aroma.

Watching the slices of meat turn from red to brown, with the edges curling up slightly, I felt a sense of anticipation.

A thick slice of beef was grilled to perfection.

Uchiha Kagami picked it up with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

The rich aroma of meat spreads in the mouth, and the texture is tender, juicy, and slightly chewy.

The satisfaction that food brings is something I haven't felt in so long...

Uchiha Kagami didn't arrive during mealtime. By the time he finished his seventh serving, customers were gradually entering the restaurant.

Many people were amazed to see the staff constantly changing the meat platters.

This boy looks quite thin, but he can eat a lot!

The kitchen staff were so busy that they couldn't even worry about how to present the grilled meat attractively.

That person probably doesn't mind, so just cut it up and send it up quickly.

Several people were watching him eat, but Uchiha Kagami didn't seem to mind.

People are just watching the excitement; such behavior proves that the environment they are in is safe.

On the battlefield, watching the spectacle is tantamount to courting death.

"Huh... is that a mirror?"

Upon hearing a somewhat familiar voice, Uchiha Kagami looked up.

This is a man who looks somewhat like Hiruzen Sarutobi when he was young.

"Shinnosuke, it's been a long time."

Just as Uchiha Kagami was about to continue eating, he suddenly looked up again.

I saw the person Sarutobi Shinnosuke was holding hands with...

She was a woman with a gentle face, her cheeks slightly flushed, a sign of shyness at being seen on a date by an acquaintance.

"Ye... Sister Hazuki?!"

Uchiha Hazuki, Uchiha Izumi's mother, is also the owner of the breakfast shop that Uchiha Kagami frequents.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke touched his nose and said with a smile, "Hazuki and I met at the hospital, and...we're dating now!"

As he spoke, he generously raised his hand to shake hands with Hazuki's.

Embarrassed, Hazuki turned her head away.

The Uchiha clan also participated in the reconstruction project after that battle.

The seriously injured Sarutobi Shinnosuke meets Uchiha Hazuki, a volunteer caregiver, at a makeshift hospital.

One is cheerful and honest, the other is widowed early and gentle and virtuous...

After a while...

Uchiha Kagami rubbed his temples.

In the ninja world, starting a relationship is equivalent to establishing a commitment, with marriage in mind.

According to clan rules...

Uchiha Shinnosuke?

Uchiha Konohamaru...

That's too abstract...

Chapter 111 Twenty more bowls!

"Brother, what are you standing there for? Sit up."

A cheerful, slightly husky young voice rang out.

As Asuma got closer, he saw Uchiha Kagami.

It's like encountering a rattlesnake in the desert, giving you a fright.

Asma, Might Guy, and others did not participate in the civil war many years ago.

However, the terror that Uchiha Kagami instilled in Asuma was something that had been present since childhood.

Kagami Uchiha caught a glimpse of Kurenai Yuhi behind Asuma.

One of the main postwar policies was to develop the population, not only encouraging civilians to have children, but also ninjas.

For some ninjas of marriageable age, participating in social gatherings is also part of their mission; there's always someone they click with.

In this environment, Asuma and Kurenai, who already had some feelings for each other, naturally came together.

Fifteen or sixteen years old, that's about right, anyway, people in the ninja world mature earlier.

Uchiha Kagami wiped his mouth.

"I'm a little full, you can sit at my table."

Asuma was astonished when he saw the mountain of plates.

Is Jing a competitive eater?

Was this setting present before?

Hmm...it seems like she's quite possessive of her food.

After everyone had cleared the table, Uchiha Kagami's gaze shifted between Sarutobi Shinnosuke and Hazuki.

"Shinnosuke, you should know about Hazuki's family situation, right?"

It's common for ninjas to be without parents, and Hazuki is one of them. After her husband died, she was taken back to her clan with her daughter.

As the clan head, Uchiha Kagami felt it necessary to understand the situation as a parent to Hazuki.

Shinnosuke and Hazuki were genuinely awkward, like they were meeting the parents, and sat up straight.

Asuma and Kurenai Yuhi both felt a little uncomfortable.

"Yes, I've spent time with Izumi. She's a very well-behaved girl, and I will try my best to gain her approval!"

Uchiha Kagami nodded, looking directly at Shinnosuke.

"I will not allow you to toy with Hazuki's feelings, nor will I allow her to marry someone else."

"Are you really ready to give up the Sarutobi surname and marry into the Uchiha clan?"

The two exchanged a glance, and Uchiha Hazuki revealed a gentle smile.

"Shin-chan has already spoken with me and he is willing to join the Uchiha clan. We have decided to hold the wedding during Izumi's vacation."

"The reason for this meeting with Asma and Miss Hong is to ask them to be our best man and maid of honor."

Uchiha Kagami took a deep breath.

It reminded me of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Should we make an exception and have this old man come back to see if his son has joined the Uchiha clan?

The Senju and Uchiha clans were sworn enemies, just as Sarutobi and the Uchiha clans were.

During the Warring States period, Sarutobi and Senju were allies.

"You can decide for yourselves."

Uchiha Kagami raised his hand to beckon the boss over.

"From now on, when Shinnosuke and Hazuki come to eat barbecue, it will all be on my tab. I will send someone to settle the accounts at the end of the year."

"understood."

He stood up and smiled at Hazuki, saying, "I might not be able to make it to your wedding, so consider this my wedding gift."

"Sister Hazuki, I have to go now. You guys enjoy your meal."

"Okay, take care, Mirror-kun."

As soon as Uchiha Kagami stepped out the door, a dog's furtive figure scurried up to him.

“Hey, Mirror…”

Asuma leaned close to Uchiha Kagami's ear and asked, "Um... what exactly did you mean when you were little?"

When he started dating Hong, Jing's words would occasionally come to mind.

He often thinks...

Is she going to die young and Kurenai remarry the Uchiha?

Or maybe we broke up for some reason, and Kurenai married the Uchiha...

Asuma is one of the few classmates who doesn't feel any distance from Kagami, which is probably because he and Obito were beaten up by Kagami for more than two years.

Normally, someone of his caliber as a Jonin should be called Lord Kagami.

However, Jing didn't care what others called him. A name is meant to be called; there's no need to add any honorifics.

"It was just a joke from when we were kids."

Uchiha Kagami couldn't help but start to reflect.

Does he really have no credibility whatsoever?

"If you don't believe me, I'll kill you right now and make Kurenai marry an Uchiha."

With one matter settled, Asma inquired about another.

His tone became much more serious.

"Mirror... Do you know about Kakashi and Might Guy? They recently returned severely injured..."

"I don't know the specifics, but it's probably related to Obito."

Uchiha Kagami paused for a few seconds, then took out his wallet and bought a candied apple from a roadside vendor.

Jiraiya's wallet definitely wasn't enough to pay just now. He'll have to send someone to settle the bill later.

"Mirror? You know them, right? They are now..."

Taking a bite of his apple, Uchiha Kagami said calmly, "They're playing a game of bonds, so you should just play your game of love."

Asuma and Uchiha Kagami walked side by side, talking to themselves.

"Kagami, do you think the most important person to the village is the Hokage or the villagers?"

"The most important thing is me." Uchiha Kagami finished the candied apple in a few bites, even eating the core.

"...Okay, except for you."

Asuma took out a cigarette case from his pocket, intending to offer one to Uchiha Kagami.

Uchiha Kagami didn't have this hobby; his gaze wandered over the other goods in the food street.

Asma lit a cigarette, his gaze deep and thoughtful.

"I've thought about it carefully and reviewed the entire Third Shinobi World War from its beginning to the present."

"I hated you too, hated you for destroying the peaceful village."

"But when I started going out on missions..."

"Almost everyone thinks that Konoha is better now."
