Konoha: We, the Uchiha, are ready to give up!

He was indeed very interested in this future Fourth Hokage.

After all, he doesn't appear much in the original work, so it's difficult to make an accurate definition based on just a few words.

Just right.

It would be nice to have a good chat during this time.

He'll become Hokage sooner or later, and even if he only holds power for a year, he still has the ability to influence the overall situation of the Uchiha clan.

Knowing yourself and your enemy is still very important.

Thinking of this, he smiled and spoke.

"All right!"

"It's almost noon, let's go get some lunch."

"Brother Shuimen, where do you think we should go?"

Minato Namikaze frowned in thought.

After a while.

A slight smile appeared on his face: "Come with me."

……

Half an hour later, at Akimichi BBQ restaurant.

Inside a quiet private room.

The two sat facing each other.

One exquisite dish after another was served, quickly filling the entire table.

only.

Seeing this scene, Minato Namikaze's smile began to falter.

After a moment, he spoke with distress.

"If it weren't for having dinner with you, Jin-jun, I really wouldn't have wanted to come here."

"Kishina is too strict, and I don't get enough pocket money."

"A single visit to Qiu Dao's house costs me almost half a month's allowance."

Uchiha Jin rolled his eyes.

They didn't forget to show off their love even though they're still together, that's really something.

“Brother Minato, that’s enough!” Uchiha Jin immediately spoke up: “I know you’re happy, you don’t need to put on a show for me.”

"Your public displays of affection are not friendly to a single person like me at all."

Uh.

Minato was completely bewildered upon hearing this.

He can swear to God that he really didn't have that thought.

But forget it.

Because when he thought about it carefully, he realized that his words did indeed seem a bit like showing off his affection.

So after shrugging, he started eating and drinking heartily.

He wasn't lying just now.

Even if he had a good relationship with Choza and Tou of the Akimichi family, he couldn't just eat without paying!

This barbecue restaurant has good food, but the only problem is that it's too expensive.

Having finally gotten the chance, he didn't even care about the important matters and immediately started fighting with Uchiha Jin for it.

A short while later, after they had eaten and drunk their fill,

The two of them were half-lying down in the back of the private room, their faces filled with satisfaction.

"Hmm, it's really good."

"I've always heard that Akimichi's food is good, but I've never been here because I'm short of money."

"This time, I'm also benefiting from your help, Brother Minato!"

Uchiha Jin spoke with a smile.

Yes.

Even though he had lived in the great Celestial Empire, a land of gourmet food, in his previous life, he had to admit that the Akimichi family's secret-recipe barbecue was indeed unique in flavor.

That was really fun!

This is the first time I've tasted delicious food since I transmigrated here.

Yes.

When I first transmigrated, I was just a child, and I had to rely on my own abilities to make a living by selling things at Ichiraku.

As they grew older, they entered the Ninja Academy to fight for their lives.

Although he pretends to be a good-for-nothing, he actually trains extra every day, so he doesn't have time to research food.

Needless to say, after graduating from the Ninja Academy.

First I went to the Fog Concealment Battlefield, and then a whole bunch of things came up when I got back.

Hey!

I can't bear to say more, it's all tears!

Sometimes he couldn't help but sigh that this system was really not a good match for him!

It would be better to have a diligence system or something.

But there's really no other way!

In this chaotic world of ninjas, the "lying down" system is really not suitable.

Not to mention his background, he's from the Uchiha clan.

Although the Sharingan is very powerful, the family's position is too awkward.

"Hmm, is this your first time here, King?" Minato couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Aren't you the elder Uchiha?"

He was genuinely a bit bewildered.

Although the Akimichi family's barbecue is expensive, and I know you had an unhappy childhood, you are still an elder now!

Uchiha Jin rolled his eyes.

"The Uchiha clan leader is old and doesn't get a salary, while the police chief has an annual salary. I have to wait until the end of the year!"

"They did give me a share of the profits, but that was settled annually."

"And what's worse, my war bonuses won't be settled until after the war."

So, that's settled then.

"Strictly speaking, I am still a poor person."

"I can only go to Uncle Hand-Struck's place every day to get a meal, and I have to endure Ayame's merciless mockery."

"It's really tough for me!"

Speaking of it.

Uchiha Jin immediately started complaining.

Yes.

Despite his imposing manner and constant contact with village officials, don't let his seemingly powerful demeanor fool you.

But, in essence.

He's still a loser.

Minato Namikaze shook his head speechlessly.

Now that he's had his fill of food and drink, it's time for him to get down to business.

Immediately.

After the waiter cleared away the leftovers and brought out a pot of tea, his expression turned serious.

"Alright, Mr. Jin."

"As you can probably guess, I have something important to discuss with you today."

"I'm not good at beating around the bush, so I'll just say it directly."

"Actually, when I first met you, I only thought you were a genius who had accumulated knowledge and experience before finally unleashing your potential."

"It seems you, Kakashi, Obito, and Rin are all the same age, but now your strength has surpassed Kakashi's."

"but why?"
