The two of them chatted for a while.
When the food and drinks were served.
Kuro cast a glance at Asuma and asked, "Lord Hokage asking you to come over shouldn't just be so you could check on us, right? Is there something else?"
Asuma's expression turned serious. He looked around, and after finding no one nearby, he glanced at Rokuro and said, "There is indeed something I need to brief you on. The old man said that a squad from the Uchiha clan applied to leave the village for a mission half a day after you left. Furthermore, their reason was legitimate, so he couldn't easily refuse!"
Kuro glanced at Rokuro and frowned. "I understand. I will be careful!"
"Careful my ass!" Hearing this, Rokuro looked at Kuro very dissatisfiedly and said, "Master, they've already come knocking on our door. If we don't kill them, wouldn't it mean we're easy to bully?!"
Kuro glared at Rokuro. "Say a few words less. Don't be all about fighting and killing all day long. Konoha Village has finally managed to stabilize with great difficulty; do you want to spark a war within the village?!"
Rokuro said, highly displeased, "I don't care. If they dare to come looking for trouble, I won't hold back. I actually want to see just how amazing the Uchiha clan is!"
Kuro was helpless. Too lazy to persuade Rokuro any further, he directly asked Asuma, "Then Lord Hokage should have mentioned where they went to do their mission, right?"
Asuma blew out a smoke ring. "Uh, they applied to gather herbs on a mountain twenty kilometers away from Konoha. If you head straight back from here, you will definitely pass by there!"
Right on the way back!
This was clearly suspicious!
Kuro cast a glance at Rokuro and couldn't help but sigh. "By the looks of it, Shisui's death has made the Uchiha clan hate Elder Danzo to the core. Since they have no way to seek revenge against Elder Danzo, they want to shift their target onto my disciple!"
Asuma didn't answer.
Regarding Danzo's matters, he didn't want to get involved, nor was he willing to.
After sighing, Kuro remained silent for a while before saying, "I think I already understand Lord Hokage's intention. I will arrange this matter properly; you don't need to worry anymore!"
Asuma glanced at the indignant Rokuro, shook his head, and said, "It looks like Rokuro is very unhappy. Senior, can you actually keep him under control?"
Kuro's body paused.
With his strength, beating Rokuro in a fight probably wouldn't be a problem.
But capturing Rokuro wouldn't be that easy.
Add to that the fact that the smelly brat Rokuro also had a flying ninjutsu, making it even more troublesome for him. He had no way to run up into the air to chase after that smelly brat.
After thinking for a moment!
Kuro could only look at Rokuro and say, "On the way back, listen to my instructions, do you understand?!"
Rokuro curled his lip, picked up his chopsticks, and ate his food, treating Kuro's words as if he hadn't heard them at all.
Seeing this, Kuro felt a massive headache.
If Rokuro was unwilling to listen to him, then things would be very troublesome.
If Rokuro secretly slipped away and ran off to find trouble with the Uchiha clan's four-man squad, he would be in massive trouble.
Seeing Kuro's headache, Asuma coughed and said, "If Senior doesn't have any good ideas, the old man entrusted me with another matter, hoping it can help Senior!"
Kuro looked at Asuma and asked, "What is it?!"
Asuma smiled, looked at Rokuro, and said, "The old man told me to inform little brother Rokuro that Princess Tsunade has already been staying at the casino in Chang'an Town for four or five days!"
Kuro instantly understood Hiruzen's meaning.
He turned his head and looked at Rokuro, whose brows were slightly furrowed, and sighed at Asuma. "Lord Hokage really understands this little brat the best. By the looks of it now, I can relax a bit!"
Asuma smiled faintly. "I'm just passing on a message for the old man. How you decide is your business. But I can tell right now that Senior taking on a disciple is truly hard work!"
Kuro patted Rokuro's head. "You're right. It really is too much hard work!"
Rokuro brushed Kuro's hand away and complained, "Hard work my ass. I don't need your help when I do things. It's you who insists on being a busybody, alright? If you just didn't manage me, I guarantee you'd eat well and sleep well every day, and live an extra twenty years!"
Kuro was too lazy to pay any attention to Rokuro.
He picked up his wine glass and started drinking with Asuma.
Watching this made Rokuro feel extremely displeased.
