Chapter 625: The Gears of Fate
"You....... What did you say? ”
At the same time, unlike the lively situation in the Hinata Mansion, in the mansion of the Uchiha clan, the current eldest lady of the Uchiha clan, the former Mizukage Terumi Masa, stared at her pair of turquoise eyes, as if shocked by her husband's sudden request.
"I'm going to leave Konoha for a while, and I'm going to leave now."
As if he knew from the beginning that his wife would react like this, Itachi just sat casually next to her, reached out and patted her on the shoulder gently.
"But in a few days, Mio's graduation ceremony will be, and she is about to embark on the path of ninjas like you and me, don't you ...... as a father?"
"There's no time to bother with those things now, and if my guess is correct, the world may be in for another bloody storm."
Reign? After hearing Itachi's words, Terumi couldn't help frowning, although she had retired from the ninja world for many years, from the "shadow" who held the supreme power of a village to a full-time mother who concentrated on taking care of the family, but this did not mean that Terumi had forgotten everything in the past.
As long as there is a need, Terumi can change from the gentle, elegant, and generous mother in Mio's impression back to the heroine who can influence the ninja world with her own strength, and in addition, her understanding of her husband is certainly not comparable to ordinary people.
So, Terumi just sighed slightly, and said to Itachi, "Let's start packing up now, I'll be in charge of explaining it to Mimio." ”
"Don't you ask me what happened?"
"If you can say it to me, you can say it yourself, but I guess....... It must have something to do with "Akatsuki" and Hinata's return. ”
Frankly speaking, when Mio suddenly cried and shouted that she was going to run to Hinata's house to eat, Terumi already sensed that something was wrong, and her husband's sudden action deepened her suspicions.
In fact, it's not far off, Itachi's sudden action is indeed due to Hinata's return to the village, but because the matter about the "wedge" is a secret among the secrets, he doesn't even want to tell his wife, so as not to have any accidents.
Just as he was about to go out after packing his things, Itachi picked up his backpack and turned his head to Ming and said, "By the way, you go and talk to Sakura after I leave, and let her come over to accompany Sasuke more during this time." ”
Although Itachi's crimes have been revoked, Sasuke, as a cadre-level member of the "Cocoon" back then, it is impossible to revoke the series of crimes he committed, but under Itachi's betrayal, Sasuke was changed to house arrest in the depths of the Uchiha clan's mansion, and he was not allowed to go out for life without the consent of the five major powers.
Therefore, on weekdays, Itachi will go to chat with his younger brother who has been in the house for more than ten years, but after he went out, the only person who could enter the door to talk to Sasuke was Sakura, who served as the vice president of Konoha Hospital, although the two were not married, but Sasuke accepted the former companion this year, and Itachi should not be too bored during his absence.
When the Itachi silently leaves the warmth of his home and sets out to search for the enemy's movements, tonight will be a turning point in the fate of the world in any case.
Just tonight, the strongest daughter in the world returned to the village.
Just tonight, the world's top spy left the village.
Just tonight, the gears of fate are about to turn again, drawing many people into this new storm.......
Of course, all this has nothing to do with Hinata who was supposed to be at the center of this storm for the time being, and when she returned to the long-lost Hyuga clan, she lived a fairly comfortable life for a short time.
During this time, Hinata instructed a group of young ninjas such as Asuka, Mio, and Boruto to do nothing during the day, teaching the essence of her years of cultivation to these little children who had just put on Konoha forehead protection, and at night she flew to various places to drink and chat with those former companions of "Akatsuki", or with Sister Renna, who had become the head of Kujo Village.
"Anyway...... You're in your thirties, and you're really well maintained. When she saw Rena's face, which was still fair and smooth, without a trace of age, even Hinata couldn't help but touch her face to see if she was wearing a human skin mask or something.
"Che, I'm a scientist, do you understand a scientist? It's not easy to stay young. Rena casually slapped Hinata's hand away from her face and said with a smile.
But in any case, it is undeniable that neither Rena nor Hinata is young, most of their peers can play soy sauce, and they have even become ninjas, but these two have not planned to talk about marriage for so many years.
And the reason why they insist on it is naturally very simple, that is, they are waiting for some bastard to come back who has been gone for fifteen years....... Teach him another hard lesson.
Such a relaxing day had not been enjoyed by Hinata for many years, so much so that before she knew it, she had lived in her Konoha hometown for as long as a month.
Ahh......hhh It's almost time, and I need to find something to do, or I'll be sluggish.
On a sunny afternoon, Hinata walked aimlessly towards the Hokage's office, but before she could knock on the door, she heard a conversation coming from inside that seemed serious.
One of the parties to the conversation was obviously Naruto the Sixth Hokage Uzumaki, while the other sounded like it should be Naruto's chief of staff, Shikamaru Nara.
"It's really a house leak that happened to rain overnight, but there was such a thing when I was searching for information about the "shell" with all my might. At this time in the office, Shikamaru, who had grown a mustache, said in a helpless tone.
Naruto sat on the table with his chin propped up his hands and asked, "Have you made contact with the ninja squad near the border?" ”
"Even the nearest team will take a few hours to arrive, and I don't know if Konohamaru and Maino will be able to make it to that point."
When he remembered that he had set out to investigate the airship that had suddenly appeared and landed on the border of the Fire Nation, and then had lost contact with the Konohamaru team here, Shikamaru felt like he couldn't do it.
Judging from the intelligence, it seems to be a large airship whose nationality and purpose are unknown, and even in this era, there are only a few forces that can make this kind of airship, including the five major powers, but that thing doesn't seem to belong to any of the big countries, which makes Shikamaru even more puzzled.
What's even more troublesome is that most of Konoha's intelligence officers are now sent to investigate the matter of the "shell" organization, so the speed of investigation about this matter will become somewhat slow.......
"Don't contact anyone, I'll just go." But just as Naruto and Shikamaru were discussing which team to send to reinforce Konohamaru, as the door of the office was slowly pushed open, a clear, soft voice appeared in front of the two of them along with Hinata's figure.
"Hinata? You ......"
"I'm also a Konoha ninja anyway, although I'm still a shinobi, so there's nothing wrong with going over to perform a mission."
If it was before, Hinata would definitely not bother with this little thing, but because she has been too boring recently, she decided to fulfill her duties as a glorious Konoha Shinobi and go on an S-class mission to pass the time.
Whew, I forgot, this eldest lady is still a ninja, which really makes the ninjas all over the world feel ashamed.
After touching the door of his head, Shikamaru immediately smiled and lit a cigarette, and said in a relaxed tone, "Since Miss Hinata is willing to help, it is naturally the best." ”
Just kidding, this is the strongest super ninja in the world today, and even Shikamaru doesn't know whether to call this eldest lady "ninja" or "immortal", and let such a person go on a rescue mission? What's the difference between shelling mosquitoes with artillery?
After getting the approximate coordinates of the direction Konohamaru was going from Shikamaru, Hinata dropped a sentence: "This position....... I will be there in about ten minutes, and I'm off to go. ”
.......Before Shikamaru could finish the words "ten minutes", Hinata's figure had already disappeared into thin air.
A normal ninja would take at least a few hours to travel, but she arrived in ten minutes, is this still human?
In Shikamaru's stunned gaze, Hinata flew away from Konoha like a streamer of light and flew towards the area where the airship fell, but what she didn't expect was that she would encounter such a strange thing there.
