Chapter 488: The White Hair of the Shou Family

"I remember you." Uchiha Jingxin looked at the white-haired boy who just managed to stick his head out from his counter and raised his eyebrows with interest, "Why, do you like us Uchiha so much?"

"Please don't play such disgusting jokes on me," Tobirama said expressionlessly, "If possible, I don't want to have anything to do with Uchiha in my life."

"In fact, the Uchiha are easy to get along with, and their personalities are not difficult to understand. As long as you are patient, you will soon be able to gain their favor..."

"I know," Tobirama turned his gaze to look at Uchiha Anruo, his face still wooden, "but I am the Senju - now that the two sides have been fighting for more than a hundred years, I don't think they will accept me as easily as they accepted you."

Uchiha Anruo: ...

"Hahaha, you're such an interesting boy. When old Momoyama talked to me about you, he never said that you were so sharp-tongued!"

Tobirama was stunned, looking at Uchiha Jingxin with a look of doubt and uncertainty - why did this man suddenly mention Uncle Momoyama? Did the two of them have a [friendship]?

"Well, although he was checking me, his expression, chakra, and even his muscle condition didn't fluctuate. He's really a qualified little ninja," Uchiha Jingxin laughed. "Momoyama and I knew each other before I joined the Uchiha clan. We got along pretty well. You know, people who are involved in gangs always have to give themselves some space."

Tobirama nodded and didn't ask further, "I have something to hand over to Uchiha Ling in person, but Senior An Ruo said he's not here - can you please tell me if there are other people in his family? Because the matter is very important, we must meet in person."

"As for the others..." Uchiha Jingxin looked up at the sky and smiled mischievously, "It depends on who you want to see - if you want to see your lover, wait here for a while, but if you want to see your father-in-law, let Xiao Anruo take you in."

Tobirama: ...?

"...Izuna is a girl?"

"Oh, how can I explain this?" Uchiha Jingxin raised his hand and touched his chin, smiling playfully, "Isn't what happened between you two enough to deepen your relationship - the white-haired disaster of the Senju family?"

Tobirama:……? ? ?

【What a boring joke that spans the centuries. 】

"Senior Jingxin, jokes should be limited to this extent. This child has come here with determination despite his anxiety," Uchiha Anruo said with a look of disapproval, "and it's too much to joke about something that the children don't even want to mention."

"Tsk tsk, it's fun to tease children when they are still young. It's so adorable to be helpless and unable to do anything but sulk by yourself," Uchiha Jingxin took out the pipe on his waist and put some tobacco in it but didn't light it. "So kid, what's your choice? Go or stay?"

Tobirama turned his head to look at Uchiha Anruo who was full of worry, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I will stay and wait for Izuna. It will be better to go in with him."

"Oh? A wise decision." Uchiha Jingxin chuckled and said to Uchiha Anruo who was about to say something else, "Little Anruo, you and Xiao Haiming are newlyweds, it is better to wait two years before getting involved in these things. After all, we have the identity of outsiders. We can be assigned some things, but we can't take the initiative to take them. Do you understand?"

"...I understand. Then I'll ask Senior to take care of this child that Ling values ​​so much." After a brief silence, Uchiha Anruo lowered his head slightly towards Uchiha Jingxin. After standing up, he showed a slightly apologetic smile to Tobirama, "I hope that the next time we meet, the situation will be more peaceful. Let's work hard for that day."

Tobirama tilted his head, "...yes?"

Uchiha Anruo left with a feeling of apology mixed with relief, leaving Uchiha Jingxin who was watching the fun and Tobirama who was confused in the dessert shop. It was Uchiha Jingxin who saw that Tobirama was planning to just be a quiet decoration in the middle of his shop until someone came, and then he asked him to sit aside and wait.

Seeing Tobirama waiting so calmly, Uchiha Jingxin found it more and more interesting, but in the end he just took his pipe filled with tobacco and walked out of the store, leisurely lay down on the recliner and started puffing.

Tobirama stared at the few swirls of hair that Uchiha Jingxin left for him and fell into deep thought. He waited until he finished smoking a cigarette and walked back before he spoke, "Is your relationship with Uncle Momoyama the same as that between Uchiha Ling and Uzumaki Yi?"

"Oh? Just now it was you, but now I'm using you?" Uchiha Jingxin stopped and looked at Tobirama who was tensing up with interest, and snorted, "The relationship between us is not as good as that between those two guys. It can only be said to be an exchange of interests."

"...As I recall, your dessert shop is located right at the border between the Uchiha clan and Minshi, and Uncle Momoyama has been in charge of our clan's diplomatic activities. I don't think you two will fail to hand over information while keeping in touch."

"Hehe, I just go there occasionally to exchange some information that is important to me - of course, it is also important to him."

[Is the information that is important to "me" about individuals rather than clans? So he kept the deal with Uncle Momoyama for someone else?] Tobirama raised his eyebrows and couldn't help asking, "Can I know your definition of important?"

"It's a pity that you can't get any answers from me," Uchiha Jingxin raised his hand to ruffle Tobirama's hair, with a half-smile on his face, "Why don't you ask Momoyama after you go back?"

Tobirama lowered his eyes with a messy head of hair, and was about to speak again when he was interrupted by an angry voice coming from outside the store - "Why are you here, you damn white-haired man!"
