Chapter 783: Red Bean Washing
Although she had guessed that the barbecue restaurant would be very popular during the three-day opening promotion, Mu Qingzhi did not expect it to be so popular.
Although they had rushed here as soon as possible after school, the store was still full and there was almost no room to stay in the store, which made her a little dumbfounded.
"It seems that there are too many people. Why don't we go somewhere else to eat?"
As if he saw her difficulties, he stretched out his hand and pulled her sleeve, and Uchiha Izumi spoke in a low voice.
"No, this is the last day of the discount... Wait a minute, I'll go to queue up."
As if she had made up her mind, after leaving this sentence to Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Izumi, Mu Qingzhi planned to squeeze into the crowd.
——But before she could act, Uchiha Shisui raised his hand in the corner of the store and waved to her.
"Sit down, I've already ordered the barbecue and other things."
As if he had something on his mind, Uchiha Shisui didn't look very interested. When he saw them walking through the crowd and coming to the table, he sighed softly.
Facing a legendary figure like Shisui, Uchiha Izumi obviously seemed a little reserved, but just when she was about to sit down next to Zhi, Uchiha Itachi sat down next to him before her.
"......?"
A question mark vaguely appeared on her forehead. Uchiha Izumi turned her head and looked at Uchiha Itachi, but what caught her eyes was the other party's calm face, and he even urged her to sit down quickly with his eyes.
Uchiha Izumi: "..."
"What's wrong?"
Seemingly noticing something strange on her side, Zhi turned his head and looked at her with some confusion.
"No, nothing."
With a little bit of tears in his heart, Uchiha Izumi sat down next to Uchiha Shisui a little stiffly.
——Honestly speaking, she was under great pressure to sit with this "Uchiha hero" at such a close distance.

"…Going to the front again?"
Looking up at Uchiha Shisui in front of her, Mu Qingzhi could not help but be slightly stunned.
"Well, I received the order this afternoon. At the earliest, tonight, at the latest, I have to set off."
While roasting the meat with tongs, Uchiha Shisui nodded.
"Hasn't the battlefield on the front line eased? Why do we have to set off again?"
Unconsciously, Uchiha Itachi also frowned.
If the retreat of a large number of ninjas including Uchiha Shisui from the front line to the rear for rest means that the war situation is moving towards a flat trend, then the reappearance of Shunshin Shisui means that the situation on the front line has escalated.
...But according to his understanding, the situation on the front line should not have reached this level yet.
"The order was given to me directly by the Hokage through the Anbu. This time, unlike before, it is a long-term garrison. I may have to stay at the front line for a while longer."
Shaking his head slightly, Uchiha Shisui put a piece of freshly grilled meat into Mu Qingzhi's bowl. ...To be honest, he was a little regretful about this transfer order.
The transformation plan for Uchiha has just begun here, and it has just shown a little bit of effect. Once he leaves, all the previous efforts will be wasted.
You know, the Konoha Police Department is a lucrative job. Many clan members want to work there. Previously, he relied on his own strong strength and fame to forcefully suppress the demands of those people. Once he left, within a few days, the police department would be beaten back to the original state.
In addition, he was more worried about Ren Shizhi.
You know, just a few days ago, the other party had offended the root severely. With his departure, without his protection, it is hard to say that the other party will not encounter a similar kidnapping incident again.
What's more, if his transfer order was deliberately arranged by Danzo...
Uchiha Shisui quickly shook his head and stopped his association.
His transfer order came directly from the Third Hokage, and had nothing to do with the Root. He just happened to catch up with it at the moment, so it's not advisable to make too many associations.
"... Forget it, let's not talk about these disappointing things."
Uchiha Shisui smiled slightly and started talking.
"During the time when I'm away, you can't relax. You are all geniuses in the tribe. Although the things taught in the ninja school are all basic, the basics are the most important things. I'll treat you to this barbecue. Come on."
When he said this, he raised the wine glass in front of him and toasted the three of them.
——Of course, because they were underage, Mu Qingzhi and the other three drank Coke.
Since Mu Qingzhi recommended it, Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Izumi also liked this unique drink.
Because he was in a hurry to arrange the relevant matters of the Konoha Police Department before leaving, Uchiha Shisui did not stay here for long. After eating some barbecue, he paid the bill at the front desk and left early.
Before, when Uchiha Shisui was still there, Uchiha Izumi was so nervous that he didn't dare to speak much. Now with the departure of the other party, Uchiha Izumi became much more relaxed and talked more.
"Hmm... I feel that the legendary instant body Shisui is quite approachable."
Putting his hands on the table and resting his chin, Uchiha Izumi swung his feet under the table, and he looked deeply touched.
"I originally thought he would be a quiet and aloof type like Itachi-kun, but I didn't expect him to be a warm man. That's great. I also want a brother like this~"
--From Mu Qingzhi, she learned a lot of new words.
"...Aloof?"
Turns her head and looks at Uchiha Itachi who is concentrating on grilling meat for her, Mu Qingzhi is a little confused.
If he is aloof, Uchiha Itachi may be a little bit, but if he doesn't talk much... she seems to think that he seems to be quite talkative?
"Hey, hello, can I share the table?"
Just as Mu Qingzhi was thinking, a voice came from the side.
When she turned her head, she saw a bright girl with a ponytail who looked very energetic standing next to their table with a tray. When she turned her head, the other party even blinked at her.
"The tables here are almost full. I see there is an empty seat here, so I want to ask if we can share the table. By the way, my name is Mitarashi Anko, you can just call me Sister Anko~"
Mu Qingzhi: "…"
