Hearing the voice, Qianye looked back.

The pretty young girl in front of him looked at Qianye with joy on her face, a typical long straight-haired Uchiha girl.

Who else could this be if not Uchiha Mikoto!

"Mikoto, why did you come to the Military Police Force?"

Looking at the Military Police Force uniform she was wearing, Qianye didn't react for a moment.

Mikoto's face flushed red.

She grabbed Qianye's arm and pulled him aside.

"Brother Chi Ye, didn't you say before that you wanted me to be your... secretary?"

Hearing this, Qianye suddenly understood.

Damn it, he had forgotten what he said himself.

Qianye looked at Mikoto again.

This outfit actually had a rather unique charm to it.

"So I talked to Grandfather. Initially, he didn't agree to let me come here."

Hearing this, Qianye smiled.

"Mikoto, from now on, stay by my side!"

Mikoto's eyes curved into crescents as she looked at Qianye with a smiling expression.

"Yes! Clan Head!"

Her soft and playful voice couldn't help but put Qianye in a great mood.

"It's already noon, Brother Chi Ye, I brought you a bento!"

Bento?

How did she know he was coming back today?

No, she didn't know.

Then there was probably only one other possibility.

She didn't know when he would come back, but she made a bento for him every single day.

Just so he could eat the bento whenever he came back.

Qianye's peculiar gaze made Uchiha Mikoto lower her head shyly.

It was as if her thoughts had been exposed.

Qianye glanced around and saw that there was no one else nearby.

He reached out and rubbed her head.

"Mikoto is just too cute!"

"Ah, Brother Chi Ye, if you keep rubbing my head, I won't grow tall!"

Hearing Uchiha Mikoto's coquettish words, the smile on Qianye's face grew even wider.

"Brother Chi Ye, let's eat!"

Mikoto picked up the bento from the table aside and took the tricolor dango from Qianye's hand.

"Let's eat the dango after the meal!"

Mikoto said softly and gently.

Qianye took the bento. That heavy weight was fully loaded with Mikoto's care and affection.

"Mikoto, have you been waiting for me every day?"

Qianye asked, knowing the answer full well.

Mikoto's cheeks flushed with a blush as she lowered her head and murmured softly.

"Mm, I want Brother Chi Ye to be able to eat home-cooked food as soon as he comes back."

A warm current surged in Qianye's heart, and he gently held Mikoto's hand.

"You've worked hard, Mikoto. I've received your feelings."

"Brother Chi Ye, you're always so polite."

Mikoto felt that all her previous hard work and exhaustion had been swept away, a hint of playfulness flashing in her eyes.

"Do we still need to say thank you between us?"

Qianye smiled slightly.

"Yeah, we don't need to say thank you between us. But I must cherish your feelings."

The two exchanged a smile. Qianye took Mikoto by the hand and walked over to a nearby bench to sit down, preparing to enjoy this warm lunch time.

He opened the bento, and a rich aroma wafted out. Mikoto carefully picked food for Qianye.

"Brother Chi Ye, try this one!"

And Qianye did not forget to feed Mikoto in return; their interaction was filled with sweetness and warmth.

"Brother Chi Ye, this is your favorite fish."

Mikoto picked up a piece of fish and delivered it to Qianye's lips.

Qianye smiled and opened his mouth, taking the fish inside. After chewing a few times, he praised,

"Mikoto's culinary skills are getting better and better."

A brilliant smile blossomed on Mikoto's face as she gently snuggled close to Qianye's side, and the two enjoyed this warm lunch time together.

They fed each other, and every touch made Mikoto's heart beat faster. A happy blush constantly hung on her face.

Looking at Mikoto's shy appearance, Qianye couldn't help sighing in his heart that she truly was a gentle and cute girl!

After lunch, Qianye took Mikoto to familiarize herself with her work as a secretary.

He guided her carefully, trying to make her work easy and interesting.

However, Mikoto saw through Qianye's intentions.

"Brother Chi Ye, I came here to help you. Please don't worry about me; I have the ability and will work hard to do my job well."

Seeing Mikoto's serious expression, Qianye finally felt that he had been a bit too worried.

"Since Mikoto has requested it, then I must ask Secretary Mikoto to take good care of me!"

With that, he led Uchiha Mikoto into the archives room.

And began explaining some related tasks concerning the secretary.

"Brother Chi Ye, how should this document be handled?"

Mikoto held a document with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Qianye took the document and looked at it carefully.

"This document is about the Military Police Force's training plan for next month.

You just need to arrange the time and location according to the requirements above, and then notify the relevant personnel."

"Understood."

Mikoto nodded and earnestly recorded Qianye's instructions.

Qianye looked at Mikoto's serious expression.

He knew that Mikoto genuinely wanted to help him.

Around three o'clock in the afternoon, an Anbu ninja suddenly appeared.

"Uchiha Chiye Clan Head!"

"Hokage-sama requests your presence!"

Qianye nodded to acknowledge.

"Understood, I'll go right away!"

As soon as his voice fell, the Anbu ninja disappeared.

After properly arranging the afternoon's tasks for the Military Police Force, Qianye prepared to leave.

He bid farewell to everyone in the Military Police Force, especially Mikoto.

After all, this was the first time he had assigned work to her.

"Mikoto, I'm going to the Hokage Building. Wait for me to come back here."

"Brother Chi Ye, go ahead. I'll handle the work here."

Qianye smiled, nodded, and headed toward the Hokage's Office.

When he walked into the office,

he found that Hiruzen Sarutobi, Homura Mitokado, Utatane Koharu, and Danzo were all already present.

Good heavens, the Konoha F4 were all here.

Truly a gathering of elites and a meeting of radishes.

Seeing Qianye walk in, Danzo flashed a trace of displeasure in his eyes, let out a cold snort, and quickly returned to calmness.

Seeing Qianye, Hiruzen Sarutobi wore a gentle smile on his face.

"Qianye, you're here. We have some matters to discuss with you."

"Yes, Hokage-sama, please speak!"

His gaze was respectful, but inwardly he was secretly on guard.

He knew this meeting might not be so simple.

What kind of matter could mobilize the Konoha F4?

The atmosphere in the conference room was solemn. Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice broke the silence.

"Qianye, some things have happened in the village recently, and we need your opinion."

Qianye straightened his body.

"Hokage-sama, may I ask what matter it is?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke.

"Recently, some unusual movements have appeared in the village.

We suspect that external forces are moving in the dark, which may pose a threat to the village's security."

Qianye frowned slightly. What did this mean?

Spies sent by other villages had entered Konoha?

Weren't missions of this sort usually handled by people from the Anbu and Root?

"Hokage-sama, what do you need me to do?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Qianye, a trace of appreciation flashing in his eyes.

"Qianye, we need you to lead the Uchiha clan to strengthen the village's defense, and at the same time secretly investigate the movements of these external forces."

Qianye nodded.

"I understand, Hokage-sama. I will act immediately to ensure the village's safety."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded with satisfaction.

"Very good, Qianye. I believe you can handle this matter well."

After the meeting ended, Qianye walked out of the Hokage's Office, feeling somewhat strange in his heart.

Judging from the expressions of those four people, this mission was extremely important and didn't seem fake.

But for mere spying matters, it was obviously unlikely to mobilize the Konoha F4.

Returning to the Military Police Force, Qianye saw that Mikoto was still busy.

He walked over and said softly,

"Mikoto."

Mikoto raised her head. Seeing Qianye, a smile appeared on her face.

"Brother Chi Ye, you're back?"

Qianye smiled slightly and said,

"Mikoto, you've worked hard today. Go back and rest early."

Mikoto shook her head and said firmly,

"Brother Chi Ye, I'm not tired yet. I want to finish these tasks together with you."

Looking at Mikoto's firm gaze, Qianye found it hard to refuse.

"Alright, Mikoto. Let's work hard together."

Qianye said with a smile, and finally pointed toward the archives room.

"Mikoto, help me bring over all the document records of things that happened in the village over the past month or two!"

"Yes!"

A trace of joy appeared on Mikoto's face.

She walked quickly into the archives room to search for the files.

In less than three minutes, Mikoto walked over holding a stack of documents.

"Brother Chi Ye, they're all in here!"

"Do you need me to help you classify them?"

"Alright!"

"..."

The two continued to be busy until nightfall.

Inside the room, Qianye closed the final document and leaned back against the chair.

A sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth hooked into a sneer as he said,

"It looks like it's because of her!

What spies, it's nothing more than a blind!

Just to... guard against the Uchiha!"
