Tsunade, you're really drunk!

Qianye got up from the bed and rubbed his head.

Hongdou was also awakened by Qianye's actions, but she just pulled the white quilt towards herself and said something incoherently.

"How long have you slept? You go first. I need to sleep a little longer..."

As she spoke further, her voice gradually became lighter, and then all that could be heard was Hongdou's soft snoring.

Qianye reached out to cover Hongdou with the quilt and gently stroked her cheek a few times.

I walked into the living room, put on the clothes that were thrown on the floor last night, and prepared to go to the police department to handle today's documents.

When Qianye walked away from the window, he realized that the sun had risen above his head and was hovering in the center of the sky.

The autumn sun is not as scorching as the summer sun. The autumn wind may take away the warmth of the body, but the sunshine on the body makes the body feel a little warm.

It was just in time for dinner. Qianye had consumed a lot of energy last night, so he changed direction and changed his destination from the Police Department to the barbecue house of the Akimichi clan.

Qianye came to a private room and ordered all the recommended dishes on the menu.

The waiter took the menu and left without further action.

Qianye was quite satisfied with this. He poured the tea from the teapot into the teacup and began to savor it slowly, waiting for the barbecue.

A few minutes later, the freshly cut barbecue was brought up by the waiter and placed on a rack nearby.

Qianye skillfully used black chopsticks to pick up the red and white pork belly from the smooth white plate and placed it on the silver iron net in the middle of the brown wooden table.

The moment the pork is placed on the grill, the red-hot charcoal under the iron net emits hot air waves that roast the pork belly to a sizzling sound.

The milky white and transparent fat was forced out from the meat slices by the high temperature, emitting waves of aroma that filled the box.

In a short while, Qianye put all the barbecue in the two plates on the grill.

He turned the hourglass beside him upside down and waited quietly. When the countdown of the hourglass ended, it was time for Qianye to pick up his chopsticks.

In the next box, Akimichi Choza, Nara Shikaku and Yamanaka Inoichi were having dinner together. A pile of baking trays had been piled up next to Akimichi Choza.

Yamanaka Inoichi and Nara Shikaku were busy putting the meat back on the grill.

At this moment, the shop owner suddenly came in.

Akimichi Choza put down his chopsticks and looked at Akimichi Toudou.

"Dongtang, aren't you the boss? Why are you here to serve people in person? And why did you come in so hurriedly? Is someone causing trouble in the store?"

Ding Zuo looked at Dongtang's anxious expression and couldn't help but think of some bad things.

Shikaku put down his chopsticks and placed his hand on Choza's shoulder.

"Boss Ding, after the recent reform of the police department, the village's public security is much better than before. It shouldn't be someone causing trouble in the store. Let Dongtang tell us what happened first."

Dongtang then said something that the three people in the box did not expect.

"Master clan leader, Uchiha Qianye suddenly came to our barbecue restaurant, in the private room next to yours."

"What? Uchiha Chiye? What is he doing here? Who is he with?"

Dongtang shook his head.

"I don't know why he came here. He was alone in the box and ordered a lot of barbecue. I heard the waiter say this in the back, so I came to tell you immediately."

Ding Zuo didn't know how to deal with this matter for a moment.

At this time Haiyi suddenly spoke.

"Brother Dongtang, please continue with your work. We three can handle this matter."

Akimichi Toudou left the box and continued to busy himself with the business of the barbecue restaurant. After all, what Shikaku said was right. Since the reform of the police department, almost no one caused trouble in the store. Occasionally, there were a few drunkards who drank too much, but they would be taken away by the police department and fined.

This made the store's business much better than before.

Seeing Dongtang leave, Ding Zuo narrowed his already small eyes, looked at his two companions with a sad face.

"What do you think happened to Uchiha Qianye coming here all of a sudden? Could it be that he just happened to come here to eat some barbecue?"

Hai Yi sat cross-legged opposite him, bowing his head in deep thought. He was a little unsure of Qian Ye's thoughts.

Shikaku drummed his fingers on the table and thought for a moment.

"It shouldn't be a coincidence. It just so happens that the three of us clan leaders are all gathered here today. This new deputy clan leader of the Uchiha clan may know some information and wants to test us."

"Could it be that the Uchiha clan has noticed the Root's actions?"

Haiyi suddenly looked up and remembered the actions of the roots a few days ago.

"Boom!"

Ding Zuo pounded his fist on the table.

"Root, damn Root, I don't know what Sandaime-sama was thinking, actually allowing the Root to ask us for people! And they only want children! Damn it!"

Shikaku sighed, even he didn't know how to comfort Choza about this matter, because he didn't know that the Akimichi clan, the Nara clan and the Yamanaka clan also had two children taken away by the Root.

"The Root's actions may have been noticed by the Uchiha clan or Uchiha Chiye."

"Although the village now seems to be much more stable than in the past, there are undercurrents in the background. The Uchiha clan is probably lurking, and the time for a confrontation with the village leaders is not far away."

The worry on Ding Zuo's face was replaced by a determined look.

"Shikaku, I know you have a way. What should we do this time?"

"Lu Jiu, don't worry, no matter what choice you make, we will follow you without hesitation. We Zhu Lu Die are a whole."

Haiyi, like Dingzuo, gave Lujiu a firm look. They both believed in Lujiu, who had gone through decades of ups and downs with them since childhood.

Shikaku paused his fingers on the table and stood up.

"Let's go. Since Uchiha Qianye is here, we can't be rude. Let's go meet him first. I don't dare to make a choice easily now."

"But after talking to the new deputy chief, I will make the right choice."

Ding Zuo and Hai Yi looked at each other, nodded, stood up together, and followed Shikaku.

……

The red walls and orange-yellow lights in the box whetted Qianye's appetite. This was already the third batch of barbecue that Qianye had eaten.

After placing all the pork belly in the last few plates on the baking tray, Qianye poured another cup of tea. The fresh tea exuded a refreshing fragrance and he drank it slowly.

The tea took away the greasiness of the barbecue left in the mouth.

"Guest, there are three people who want to visit."

Dongtang spoke for Lu Jiu and the other two outside the door.

Qianye raised his eyebrows. Who would come to visit at this time? Could it be the heads of the three families of Zhu, Lu and Die?

"come in."

Black pineapple head, red hedgehog head, and light yellow ponytail.

The three of them walked into the box and sat opposite Qianye.

Unexpectedly, but logically, it turned out to be these three clan leaders.

Qianye immediately began to sort out all the information he knew about Zhuludie in his mind.

"I wonder what the three clan leaders have to do with visiting a small deputy clan leader like me at this time."

Shikaku waved his hand and smiled.

"Excuse me, Deputy Clan Leader Qianye. You are the deputy director of the police department and the deputy clan leader of the Uchiha clan. How can you use the term "a mere deputy clan leader"? It's a bit too modest."

Qianye looked at the three people sitting opposite him.

There were oil stains on Ding Zuo's chest, and the three people smelled of charcoal fire, which was stronger than the charcoal fire smell in his own box, and there was a slight smell of alcohol on all three of them.

Qianye understood. It seemed that he had arrived earlier than himself, but it just so happened that he also came to Qiu Dao’s barbecue restaurant today.

The person who just opened the door looked fat and his skin was much smoother than that of ordinary people, which meant he did not usually do rough work. However, there were calluses on his hands from years of using pens, so he must be the owner of the store.

So, it was my act of coming to eat barbecue that made these three clan leaders think of something based on recent events.

In addition, Hiashi just told him a few days ago that the Root took Neji away, so I'm afraid that many of Ino-Shika-Chou's direct ninjas were also taken away.

All the known information continued to interweave in Qianye's mind, and finally, the final answer was deduced.

Qianye picked up the teapot, poured three cups of tea, pushed them in front of Lu Jiu, Ding Zuo and Hai Yi, and said something that the three of them did not expect.

"Shisui's death was caused by Danzo. We Uchiha have recently loosened the power of the police department. I remember that many ninjas from your Ino, Shika and Chou clans have applied to join."

Cold sweat began to flow from Shikaku's forehead and his brows were furrowed. Uchiha Qianye was only sixteen years old, how could he have such terrible negotiation experience.

He had clearly taken the initiative to pour tea for the three of us, so I thought he was trying to show weakness, but I didn't expect him to start with such a sharp topic.
