"Uchiha Tsubi?"

Ape Fei sat at this end of the desk... Although recently, he has begun to arrange the inauguration ceremony of the next Hokage, at least for now, he is the third Hokage-sama of Konoha...

"Yes."

Lowering his eyelids, in front of Ape Fei, the crane and his previous image are simply like two people... Although her beauty cannot be erased, she does not have the dissoluteness and unruliness just now, but shows a dignified and general appearance... It was like her answer, short and lean.

"Weishenme hasn't returned to Konoha for so long, but chose to come back at this time." Although he has aged a lot, for an old man like Ape Fei, who is only interested in the future of the village, any dangers and hidden dangers must be eliminated.

"It's been a long time since the Uchiha incident."

"As you say, Apuefei-sama."

She didn't panic in the slightest, she politely took a half step back, and then spoke in her clear voice

"I wasn't involved in that war," she paused, then shook her head with a smile, "Thanks to this, Elder Kagami sent me and some other clansmen out of Konoha and arranged for people to scatter us and hide in various places..."

Her words were coherent from here, without any hint of codification or thought—and her eyes were calmly staring at Ape Fei.

"Considering the serious consequences of the Uchiha's defeat, we were ordered to never go out and move out casually, and after a long time, when I regained my freedom, the big war began..."

She shook her head helplessly as she recounted.

"I'm already tired of war, so I don't want to get involved in this war, so I've been putting it off until now, and I'm not returning to Konoha until now."

After that, he didn't say a word, but stood silently opposite Ape Fei.

… Miyome took his pipe, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled the smoke... From his point of view, he was able to see every move of the bird.

"I see."

Ape Fei set his pipe aside.

"If you can, I'd like you to take a ninja level test."

"No problem, Sarufei-sama..."

The old spicy eyes intersected with each other for a moment, and Ape Fei's voice sounded again

"However, I hope you will be able to stay in the Uchiha House for a while after..."He tapped the edge of the table with his pipe, "As is customary, the people of the Shadows will investigate and isolate you to a certain extent. ”

"I understand..."

"Payne..."

In the pouring rain, two figures appeared on the riverbank almost out of thin air, and the ones who spoke were white plants that "grew" from the ground... Not far in front of them, six hooded figures dressed in fire cloud suits had been waiting in the rain for a long time.

"You're late."

One of the six men known as Payne stepped forward and spoke in a lifeless, emotionless voice.

"Don't be so serious..."

The man standing behind the white plant finally removed his hood, revealing a haughty, uninhibited cheek - of course, none of this could compare to the scarlet three-hooked jade in his eyes!

If it were an old antique living in a previous era, you would probably be shocked when you saw this face - that character that should have only existed in legends should have been buried in the loess long ago...

"Everything is in Jihua, all we have to do is wait for the right moment."

"Then Weishenme is still coming here."

Payne's voice was still cold, obviously a question, but it didn't mean to ask - only a few strands of orange hair sticking out from under the hood proved that he was really a living person... No, not exactly.

"To give you some help."

The man didn't hesitate, he folded his arms with confidence and poise in his eyes.

"Nagato," he lengthened his voice, and even there was some cunning in his eyes.

"Don't you want to make this shijie grow up as soon as possible?"

…

"Grow to the point where you won't let Yahiko's tragedy repeat itself..."

…

"When you're ready, try to inform me."

The silence lasted for a moment, and after that, Payne... Or rather, Yahiko, still speaking indifferently, with only some abrupt black rods on his face, and no other expressions...

PS: I know you're going to have a lot of grooves after reading this chapter, but just wait quietly, I promise it's different from what you think
