Chapter 764: Warm Sunshine, Peaceful Days
It takes time to change the entire ninja world.
However, Mu Qingzhi has already written a plan in her mind for what she wants to do. The suggestions she made to Uchiha Shisui are not nonsense, but her real thoughts.
As the saying goes, he who wins the hearts of the people wins the world. With such good conditions, Uchiha does not know how to implement them at all. It is really a bit of a waste of natural resources.
Other messy things aside, if the police officers of the Konoha Guard Department are really replaced by women, the style of Uchiha in the village will definitely be much better.
People may feel disgusted with the violent law enforcement officers with stinky faces and full of arrogance, but facing those cold policewomen, their thoughts in their hearts are not necessarily.
Because there are still things to do, after eating ramen, Mu Qingzhi separated from Uchiha Shisui. The other party originally wanted to send her to the residence in the family, but she declined.
Anyway, there is nothing to do when she returns. It is a rare trip to the village, so she naturally has to take a good walk and do some relevant preliminary investigations. There are many things she wants to do, but due to her status and age, she can only do it slowly.
"This ninja world seems to be more modern than I imagined..."
Standing at the intersection of a street, looking at the hustle and bustle in front of her, Mu Qingzhi's face can't help but look a little subtle.
The level of technology in the ninja world is far higher than she imagined. Not only does it have Coke, but it even has TV. However, because this is a world where individuals have extraordinary powers, these developed technologies are not taken seriously, and the trend of technological development is mostly biased towards daily life.
"Sure enough, it is still very good to come out and take a look when you have nothing to do... Maybe I can try to plan it from now on?"
Carrying a thick shopping bag in her hand, Mu Qingzhi walked on the way home while thinking in her heart.
Due to the various expenses during this period, her total assets are less than 5,000 taels, and a bowl of ramen costs about 100 taels. With less than 5,000 taels, she is close to bankruptcy.
...To be honest, she has been thinking about whether she should take the time to go out and rob.
"Zhi, are you okay!?"
Just as Mu Qingzhi was still thinking about what she was going to do next, a slightly anxious voice came from in front of her.
When she raised her head with some doubts, she saw Uchiha Itachi who ran to her and seemed a little out of breath.
"I heard that you were attacked by the senior ninja of Kumogakure. Are you injured!?"
"Uh... Not much, strictly speaking, it's just skin injuries..."
Looking at Uchiha Itachi who took the shopping bag from her without saying anything, Mu Qingzhi's face couldn't help but look a little subtle.
...She suddenly felt that the other party was a little bit wrong.
It was almost dusk, the sun was setting, and the golden sunlight dyed the earth golden.
Mu Qingzhi wanted to carry the shopping bag herself, but Uchiha Itachi refused to return it to her in the name of her injury. In this matter, the other party was always unexpectedly stubborn, so she had to let him do what he wanted.
"Well, they are just some minor injuries, which can be healed in a few days... Brother Shisui treated me to a meal, and then I walked around the village a little, and then bought some things..."
As they walked towards the Uchiha family's residence, Mu Qingzhi chatted with Uchiha Itachi in a casual manner. Perhaps due to the influence of environmental factors, she was now in a much more relaxed mood.
Secretly, Uchiha Itachi turned his head and glanced at the girl next to him.
Under the reflection of the setting sun, the girl's profile seemed to be shining with golden light, accompanied by a breeze blowing, bringing a faint herbal fragrance from the girl. Under the setting sun, the shadows of the two of them were stretched very long behind them.
Although he had walked this road many times before, for some reason, Uchiha Itachi always wanted this road to be longer.
"We should be at your house, right? I'll leave first, see you tomorrow."
Taking the shopping bag from his hand, the girl smiled and waved at him, then turned and walked into the sunset.
The moment the girl turned around, the world seemed to become golden in front of him, until Zhi's figure disappeared at the corner, Uchiha Itachi retracted his gaze.
... I don't know why, he felt his face was very hot.
After standing at the door and blowing the wind for a while, until the heat on his face dissipated, Uchiha Itachi turned around and returned to his home.
But what he didn't expect was that at the porch in the evening, his mother was holding Sasuke and looking at him with a smile, and he didn't know how long she had been looking at him.
"... Mother, I'm back."
Forcing the expression on his face, Uchiha Itachi bowed slightly to his mother.
He didn't know how much his mother had seen, but he felt ashamed to be seen by his family.
"Itachi, come, come and sit with us, let's talk."
A hint of cunning flashed across her eyes, and she chuckled softly, and Uchiha Mikoto reached out and patted her side.
"Also, since you left in a hurry after lunch, Sasuke has been clamoring to find you for the whole afternoon."
Today is a rare day off. With Itachi's personality, he should stay at home with Sasuke all day, but since Fugaku called him away at noon, Itachi came back somewhat absent-minded. After dinner, he hurriedly left home and didn't even care about Sasuke.
Originally, she couldn't figure out why he was so anxious, but now, she understands a little.
"... She is my new friend recently. She was injured in the attack of Kumogakure before. Out of concern, I went to Konoha Hospital to visit her."
After taking Sasuke, who had fallen asleep after quarreling for an afternoon, from his mother, Uchiha Itachi sat down silently.
But before Uchiha Mikoto asked, Uchiha Itachi told all these things in one breath with a stiff face.
Although he said so, in fact, in order to find the other party, he ran to more than a dozen places this afternoon, from the other party's home to the hospital and then to Ichiraku Ramen. He almost went through the entire Konoha...
"Really?"
Looking at Uchiha Itachi who turned his head to look at the side and was a little afraid to look directly at him, Uchiha Mikoto put one hand on his knee and supported his chin, and chuckled.
"But, I don't think I asked anything yet? Itachi, you are guilty."
Uchiha Itachi: "..."
