You should know that Sasuke usually walks around school with his hands in his pockets, looking cool and acting like he doesn't know what an opponent is.
People always make way for him, and he never has to step aside.
But today, he changed!
"You go first?"
"Huh?"
Hinata was stunned.
The classmates were all wide-eyed, looking at the two in disbelief.
Is this Sasuke?
Are we sure he hasn't been swapped?
On the surface, Sasuke made way, but inside, he was very unhappy.
What the heck, we're classmates, but now she's the elder's fiancée and might become my teacher's wife!
This change in status is hard for Sasuke to accept.
But he has no choice!
Because Itachi and Mikoto specifically told him to be nice to Hinata at school.
If Hinata has any trouble, he has to help her.
All morning, the sleep-deprived Hinata was in a daze.
What surprised her even more was that at school, whenever an Uchiha saw her, they quickly made way.
Many people noticed this, and some mischievous students thought the Uchiha had changed.
So they tried to imitate Hinata and make way for others.
But instead of making way, they got beaten up.
During lunch break, everyone was getting ready to eat their bento. Sasuke sat at his seat, face red, hesitated for a long time, then finally got up and walked towards Hinata.
A few girls who were about to invite Sasuke to eat with them stopped because they saw Sasuke holding a cute pink bento box.
No way...
Making way in the morning was one thing, but now he's holding a bento box.
Is he going to invite Hinata to eat with him?
Under the astonished gazes, Sasuke put the bento box on the table:
"My mother asked me to give this to you."
After saying this, Sasuke quickly ran away.
Mom, why did you make me do such an embarrassing thing?
"Is this the Sasuke I know?"
Chouji nudged the thoughtful Shikamaru sitting next to him.
Ino looked like she was about to break down, thinking her crush liked Hinata.
Sakura, who also liked Sasuke, was about to break down too.
"I heard from my dad that the Uchiha and Hyuga families arranged a marriage."
Shikamaru, resting his chin on his hand, said uncertainly:
"It's hard to imagine that the Uchiha and Hyuga, who don't get along, would do such a thing."
Naruto, who was gossiping nearby, jumped up and exclaimed:
"Are you saying Sasuke and Hinata are engaged?"
"What?"
The whole classroom exploded.
Everyone's eyes were on Hinata and Sasuke, and Shikamaru rubbed his forehead in frustration.
If this gets misunderstood, I'm in trouble. Naruto, why did you do this to me?
"You're talking nonsense!"
This is a huge misunderstanding. If it gets taken seriously, I'm doomed.
Thinking of Yan's way of teaching, Sasuke trembled and angrily pointed at Naruto, even swearing.
"You're the one talking nonsense!"
Naruto, upset at being scolded by Sasuke, retorted:
"If that's not the case, why do you always make way for Hinata, give her bento, and use such a cute bento box?"
"you...."
After being attacked by Naruto repeatedly, Sasuke got furious and rushed to fight Naruto.
"Stop fighting!!!"
Sakura and Ino were anxious, and the others didn't expect Sasuke and Naruto to start fighting right in the classroom.
Fortunately, Shikamaru was quick-witted and ran out of the classroom to call the teacher.
At the Akimichi family's barbecue restaurant, Yan and the invited representatives of the ninja families sat together.
Akimichi Torifu, who had been resting at home, also came today. He represented the Ino-Shika-Cho trio.
"Yan, so you mean, the Hokage office will come up with a plan, and then our families will invest money to build a commercial area. Once the commercial area is built, we will distribute the profits according to the money and contributions we each made?"
"Yes."
Yan nodded and said:
"With the population size of Konohagakure and the momentum of economic development, it is enough to drive the second commercial area.
The only thing missing is that the village doesn't have enough funds to build it.
Everyone knows what a new commercial area means, so on behalf of Hokage-sama, I invited everyone here today to discuss this matter."
"The plan will be released soon by the Hokage office, but the village's finances are very tight, so we need each family to invest money."
"It's just a normal investment, nothing else involved. Even if you don't have this idea, you don't have to worry about offending Hokage-sama by refusing."
It's just a simple investment, not a political task.
Hearing this, everyone from the families breathed a sigh of relief.
A normal investment is fine, they were afraid that Yan came with an investment task from the Hokage office.
If any family refused, it would be like disrespecting Tsunade.
Now they could relax, business is business, nothing else involved.
As long as a new commercial area is driven, the benefits will be enough to make each family excited.
Who would be foolish enough to pass up such a good thing?
But everyone sat in their seats without speaking because they were afraid of getting involved with the Hokage office and the retired Third Hokage.
Many families were invited, even some small families with only a few members.
But the Sarutobi and Shimura families, who were close to the Third Hokage, were left out.
Think about it carefully!
"Yan, isn't this invitation a bit inappropriate?"
Others didn't dare to speak, so Akimichi Torifu took the lead.
"What's inappropriate?"
Yan smiled slightly and reminded him bluntly:
"Hokage-sama gave me full authority to handle this matter, so I decide which families can participate. If I think some families are not suitable, they won't be included. Is there a problem with that?"
Is there a problem?
No!
Even if you think I'm using public office for private gain, it doesn't matter because I am.
I'm just not including certain families.
