Ashina gave a forced smile and then waved his hand: "My head hurts a bit so I want to go back to the house to rest first. I'll ask Kushina to bring me some rice later."

Hashirama was also a little worried: "Why were you fine just now, but now you have a headache?"

"Oh, it's an old problem. It doesn't hurt often, but when it hurts, it's really unbearable."

After saying that, he slowly left the house, holding on to the wall. Kushina looked anxious but helpless.

Hashirama patted his head and said, "Don't worry, I'll find a doctor to see if he can be cured."

Kushina nodded. Although her aunt and uncle were very kind to her, the love that her grandfather brought her could not be replaced by anyone.

But after experiencing all these things in the Land of Whirlpools, grandpa seemed to have changed a lot.

It must be that Uncle Eighth's death hit him too hard.

Not long after, Mito brought the food one plate after another. The aroma filled the whole room, making Tifeng's mouth water.

"Come on everyone, it's time for lunch."

The dining table at Hashirama's house is very large and can easily accommodate such a large group of people.

After everyone was seated, Mito realized that his brother was missing.

When Hashirama saw his wife looking for him, he immediately understood what she meant and said, "Brother Ashina said that his headache came back and he felt very uncomfortable, so he went back to lie down for a while."

"Headache? It should be caused by the hard work over the years. He has been working really hard for the family."

Mito then smiled and said, "Since he's not coming, let's start eating. Today is to celebrate the succession of Kaze to the Third Hokage, so let's all have fun."

Hearing this, everyone raised their glasses and took a sip. The sake went down their throats, cool and smooth, and paired with the various delicious dishes made by Mito, it was such a happy experience.

After a while, half of the food was eaten and everyone started chatting again.

"After meeting Brother Ashina this time, I feel like he has changed a lot. Many of his previous habits have changed now."

After Hashirama said this, Tobirama echoed, "Yes, he used to be the one who loved to brag the most. This time when we met, I didn't hear him bragging. It always felt incomplete, and I also felt that there was a distance between us."

Mito said helplessly: "It's inevitable. After all, we haven't seen each other for more than 30 years. It's normal for habits to change."

Kushina, who was eating quietly beside Minato, was obviously not particularly happy.

However, she was too small and not very conspicuous on the table, so she did not attract any attention.

But Minato, who was sitting next to Kushina, noticed that something was wrong with her mood.

So he asked quietly, "What's wrong, Kushina? Are you unhappy because Grandpa Ashina didn't come to dinner?"

Kushina felt a warm feeling in her heart when she saw Minato noticed her emotions.

She then whispered to Minato: "What they said is not right, and what my aunt said is not right either."

"What's wrong?" Minato asked confused.

"Grandpa's habits didn't change over time. It was because of this incident. I guess it was because of Uncle Eight's death that Grandpa's temperament changed drastically."

Minato had never interacted with Uzumaki Ashina, and at most he had just greeted her. Naturally, he had no idea about the personality changes that the adults at the table were talking about.

He didn't really understand what Kushina said, but he still comforted Kushina while keeping everything he said in mind, planning to talk to his brother about it when he got back.

"Don't worry, your grandfather will return to his old self. The teacher also said that when a person is under great sorrow, it is easy for his personality to change suddenly."

After hearing what Minato said, Kushina did feel better. She also hoped that her grandfather would soon return to being the happy and cheerful grandfather he used to be and find new ways to make her happy every day.

Instead of the lifeless grandfather he is now.

After about another half an hour, the wine in the glasses had been finished and there was nothing left on the table.

When Kushina stood up and prepared to go back, Mito brought out two side dishes and a bowl of rice from the kitchen.

"Take it back and give it to your grandfather. A sick person needs to replenish his energy."

Kushina nodded before leaving the house with her meal.

Qufeng watched Kushina leave, and Zhili asked, "What's wrong, Qufeng? Are you worried about Ashina-senpai?"

Qu Feng nodded when he heard this: "Yes, Ashina-senpai saved me before, and we lived together for a while. He was a very interesting old man. Maybe he was not used to the climate in Konoha, and his son passed away."

"Let's go check on him later and see if your healing skills have any effect on him."

"Okay, we'll go after we finish here."

Zhili smiled slightly in agreement.

Then he started to help Mito clean up the mess on the table. Qufeng also sent a clone to help, and soon the dining table was restored to clean and tidy.

"Qufeng, tomorrow is your first day in office. Don't forget to oversleep and set a good example for the other ninjas." Hashirama said, leaning on the sofa.

Qu Feng came over upon hearing this and sat down near Hashirama: "Of course, Master. I get up very early every day."

Tobirama also responded, "Yes, Tofuku is probably the first person to get up in the village, much earlier than you."

When Hashirama heard this, he felt embarrassed for a moment and coughed awkwardly to cover it up.

Qu Feng also cooperated and didn't continue talking.

At noon today, when Tobirama announced that the Third Hokage was Yunzhongqufeng, the carving of the statue of Qufeng on the Wood Hokage Yanyan had already begun, and it was expected to take a month or even longer to complete.

From now on, the villagers will be able to see the statue of Toufeng when they look up, which will undoubtedly make his image more imprinted in the hearts of every Konoha villager.

"By the way, Master Tobirama, you still need to come and help me tomorrow. After all, I have never been a secretary, and I don't know much about this aspect, so I still need you to guide me for a day."

After hearing this, Tobirama immediately nodded and agreed: "Okay, I will go even if you don't ask me. The various expenses and affairs of Konoha Village cannot be left to you at will. Let me teach you for a few days, and then I will gradually withdraw after you are familiar with it."

Regarding Tobirama's suggestion, Qufeng could only say that it was unnecessary. Qufeng had no intention of going there in person. He just wanted to send an intelligent puppet to learn. When the time came, he would rely on the puppet to handle government affairs, and he could just relax and take it easy.

Moreover, the efficiency of the puppet will definitely be much higher than Qufeng, so Qufeng's good image will be established.
