Asma smiled bitterly and said, "That's why I think you are more suitable than me!"

"Compared to the difficulty of the task, there are so many benefits." Uchiha Toru couldn't help but remind him.

"Of course I know that." Asuma looked in the direction of Hokage Rock, "But compared to these, I still hope that Konoha can develop better."

Uchiha Toru raised the corners of his mouth slightly, imitating Kai and giving him a thumbs up: "As for you, there is no one more suitable than you!"

"I'm serious!" Asuma was more serious than ever at this moment, "And I'm just a chuunin, I'm not strong enough to protect the daimyo!"

"Let's not talk about my being banned." Uchiha Toru also became serious, "The daimyo is safer than we thought. After all, the deterrent power of the five great ninja villages is there. And with my strength, it is impossible for the village to let I have protected the Daimyo for a long time."

"But…"

"There's nothing good about it." Uchiha Toru interrupted Asuma directly, "If we really let you go, it means that the senior officials in the village recognize you, and the third generation must also put the village first. Yes, you don’t believe in yourself, don’t you believe in them?”

"I understand." Asuma exhaled, and part of the confusion in his eyes dissipated.

"This is the Asuma I know!" Cheru Uchiha stepped forward and patted his shoulder, "The coy one just now doesn't look like you at all."

Understanding something that was on his mind, Asuma also relaxed a little, and put his right fist on Uchiha Cheru's chest: "I didn't expect that after learning about this, the first thing I thought of was you."

"I'm quite happy." A smile appeared on Toru Uchiha's face, "This is your recognition of me."

There was an inexplicable emotion flowing in her heart, and Asuma hurriedly changed the subject: "What are you doing here?"

"Help a senior handle the wild boar." Uchiha Toru pointed at the busy Maruboshi Kosuke and said, "He got it specially for these children."

Asuma glanced at the faces of the cubs and smiled: "Then let me help too!"

"I can't ask for it!"

With the help of Asuma and Kai, cooking the wild boar progressed much faster.

Before night falls, a whole pig feast is ready.

"It's dinner time!"

With a loud shout, everyone immediately took action, found a suitable place to sit down, and eagerly waited for their meal.

After waiting for the little ones to share the food, Uchiha Toru and the others began to serve their own portions of dinner.

The wild boar meat in his hand was not delicious, but looking at everyone's smiles, Asuma's eyes gradually became firm. I must protect Konoha like this.

"What are you two thinking about?" Kakashi saw Uchiha Toru and Asuma looking like they were thinking, and walked over with a bowl.

Asuma came to his senses first and grinned: "Nothing, I just decided to take on a mission!"

"What about you?" Kakashi bumped his teammate who was still in a daze with his shoulder.

"That child!" Uchiha Toru did not hide his gaze, "He has received systematic ninja training."

Kakashi looked over and saw a child with silver hair like himself. He took a bite of the pig's trotters he had cooked and guessed: "Is this a ninja school?"

Uchiha Toru also took a bite of the tasteless pig's trotters: "For those who came out of the orphanage, it is almost impossible to reach this level if they are not taught by specialized people like us."

"How did you see it?" Asma was a little confused. He looked at it for a long time and couldn't see anything.

"Observe more, sense more!" Toru Uchiha looked away, and it was already clear that the child was the "Kabuto" he met in the Land of Snow.

"Do you want me to check it out?" Kakashi gave up his plan to continue eating pig's trotters.

"That child just came out of the root." Maruhoshi Kosuke heard their conversation and came over, "He is a good child."

"Roots?"

Kakashi and Asuma subconsciously turned their attention to Uchiha Toru who was chewing pig trotters.

"After the root leader was killed, many were taken in by the ANBU, and some young children were released." Kosuke Maruhoshi obviously knew some inside stories.

Uchiha Toru said nothing and continued to chew the pig's trotters, not yet thinking about what to do.

It was Asuma who asked first: "What to do with these children? Go to ninja school?"

Maruboshi Kosuke nodded: "We are all children who have had a hard life. Fortunately, we have learned something at the root, which can be regarded as a reward!"

The crowd was silent.

After dinner, several people said goodbye to Kosuke Maruboshi. Asuma and Gai rushed home directly, while Toru Uchiha and the other two headed towards Minato's house.
