I don't know how long it has been since that tragic night.

Sasuke has no interest in paying attention to the concept of time at all, and the only thing that sustains him alive now is only one belief - that is, revenge.

Take revenge on the man who wielded the butcher's knife against his own people and his parents.

How much I respected and admired myself in the past, and now I hate that man in my heart.

Ever since the extermination, Sasuke has lived in the shadow of nightmares every day, and every night when he closes his eyes in bed, he can't help but think back to that night full of blood and carnage.

The butcher's brother......

See the dead people......

Seeing the bodies of his parents lying at his brother's feet......

Then he woke up from his sleep in a cold sweat.

went on and on, so that his mental state gradually got out of control.

Fortunately, in this village, it is not that no one cares about themselves.

The three generations of Hokage-sama who had a lot of opportunities would come over every once in a while to comfort him, which made Sasuke feel guilty.

Because every time the three generations of Hokage came over, he had a cold face, as if he couldn't smile anymore.

Seeing the three generations of Hokage with a kind face, he behaved so rudely......

For the Hokage, there must be no one in the village who does not respect it, and Sasuke is no exception.

Such a big man must be very busy every day, but he still has to take the time to visit his poor Uchiha clansman, which makes Sasuke very unhappy...... Maybe the next time that kind old man comes back, he should be more polite.

"Sasuke, we've made an appointment to play a ninja game together, are you going?"

At the end of the afternoon, a classmate from the same class came over to invite.

The other party's name is Nara Shikamaru.,It's a guy who often sleeps lazily in class.。

Because of this, he was nicknamed one of the 'stupid trio' by the people in the class, and Sasuke was very impressed with him.

Sasuke looked at him deeply, shook his head and said, "No need, you can find someone else." ”

Maybe it was before, and after thinking about it for yourself, I would have agreed.

But now...... The strength is not enough.

Compared to that man, he was as weak as an ant, and in front of him, he was not even qualified to stand.

With such a fragile self, where does he have time to play any ninja games.

The belief that he insisted on surviving was only revenge.

Moreover, a person who talks about 'trouble' all day long, and he is not usually familiar with each other, now he has invited himself to play a ninja game, which is too abrupt.

Behind this, maybe someone is hinting at him doing this.

However, there should be no malicious intent.

It is impossible for me to waste my precious cultivation time on this kind of thing.

Without hesitation, Sasuke left the classroom.

"It's a ...... trouble"

Shikamaru scratched his head and looked listlessly at the white clouds in the sky.

If you send out an invitation so suddenly, you will probably be suspicious.

He didn't dare to underestimate the head student in the class.

In this class, except for a certain idiot, in the same grade, there is a skill.

Sasuke's ability to be the chief student in this class is a testament to his strength and brains.

With such a cleverness, there is no way to hide it.

After leaving school, Sasuke bought rice balls and treated them as dinner.

Come to the open woods around the Uchiha clan land and start cultivating here.

Fire escape technique, shuriken, and body technique, all of them did not fall.

Because he didn't open the Sharingan, Sasuke wasn't very proficient in the use of illusions, and he only knew a little about it.

The cultivation of illusion, Sasuke has already planned, and after he opens the writing wheel, he will study it.

As a ninja of the Uchiha clan, there is no need to deliberately practice illusions. As long as you turn on the Sharingan, illusion is something that can be learned naturally.

Just thinking of the writing wheel, Sasuke's eyes immediately showed a hint of gloom.

He remembered that his father had said that Itachi had opened the Sharingan at the age of eight, and that it had taken a short time for him to use the Sharingan Eye freely, but he was now the same age as Itachi, but there was no sign of opening the Eye.

On top of that, Itachi graduated from ninja school at the age of six, and was able to go out on missions and fight against various strong enemies to improve his strength.

And he is still a student in the ninja school, so he can only play ninja games later in school.

Jealousy and hatred filled his chest together, so that a hint of tyranny and coldness appeared in his eyes.

Jealousy, such an emotion that comes with hatred, is something that Sasuke can't even think of.

In the past, no matter how strong the talent and strength of the weasel were, he always had only respect and admiration, and never envied the talent and strength of the weasel.

And now he has such a dark emotion, which makes Sasuke subconsciously surprised.

Hurriedly suppressed the restlessness in his heart and restored his calm.

"Whew...... Whew......"

Panting heavily, Sasuke's face was already covered with cold sweat and struggle.

Now I need to be calm, I need to cultivate to become stronger, to gain more strength than Itachi, and then go and kill him.

Avenge your clan and parents, then revive the Uchiha clan's prestige.

He wouldn't forget the strange looks that some of the students in the class were looking at him now.

There may not be any malice, but in Sasuke's opinion, it is ridicule and pity.

As soon as the sun went down, the woods were shrouded in dark shadows, with only the faint moonlight falling.

Sasuke looked at the time and knew it was time for him to go back to rest.

However, there is still a place he needs to go before he goes back to rest.

- Nanga Shrine.

In the past, it was an important place for the Uchiha clan to hold clan meetings.

The people who can enter here and participate in the clan meeting are all the strongest ninjas in the family.

But now the shrine has become extremely depressed, and the eerie atmosphere envelops the shrine, and when you walk up the stone steps, you can only hear the cold wind in your ears, and nothing else can be heard.

Entering the main hall of the shrine, according to the message left by Itachi, counting from the right side, the seventh tatami mat is hidden under the family's great secret.

Sasuke entered it without hindrance and walked straight to the innermost part.

There stood an old stele with many unrecognizable scripts inscribed on it, or it didn't look like some kind of writing that needed some kind of 'power' to open.

This is the biggest secret of the Uchiha clan mentioned by Itachi.

But these days, Sasuke has been coming over almost every few days, but each time it has been to no avail.

The code on the stele is too profound, and there is only a small part of what I can decipher, and it is an inconsequential part.

Sasuke estimates that I'm afraid that he will need to write the wheel eye or even a more advanced kaleidoscope writing wheel eye to find out the secret.

Itachi must have known all the secrets.

Because he has a kaleidoscope writing wheel.

How far behind are you? At the thought of this kind of thing, Sasuke's heart was immediately filled with unwillingness, and he gritted his teeth.

One day, I will personally slay the traitor who betrayed the clan and the village!

The reputation of the clan is to be defended by yourself!

◎

The weather in August was much warmer than expected.

Under such a blazing sun, in the waters near the southern part of the Fire Country, a huge steel ship rode the wind and waves.

It is a little inconsistent with the appearance of various ships of the current era.

This is a ship collectively known as an 'aircraft carrier', the shape of the hull has not changed much, except that the chassis is larger, and the building materials are mainly made of steel or alloy rather than wood.

On such ships, there are also various types of multi-faceted towers with complex shapes.

Gun barrels, flight tracks, and more areas of unknown use indicate that such ships are not civilian or commercial, but are intended for military use.

The largest cruise ship anchored in the port of a city in the south of the Fire Nation is nothing compared to such a steel giant, and the deterrence and hardness of the two are not on the same level.

The steel giant ship docked in the city's harbor, and since the crowd had already been evacuated, there weren't too many idlers waiting to gather here.

However, there were still many people, from a long distance, who began to point fingers at the steel giant.

In today's ninja world, such a steel giant has never appeared.

But ninjas who have experienced the Second Ninja World War should know something.

In the past, when the country of the sky and the five powers declared war, the country of the sky had developed a similar huge ship, although it had a lot of firepower, but because it was too bulky, it was still destroyed by the ninjas' ninjutsu and sank to the bottom of the sea.

Lu Jiu, who was on the task of welcoming the envoys of the Ghost Country this time, naturally knew this.

The Oni no Kuni now has more troublesome flying ninja devices, kunai firing guns, and steel giant ships, all of which are prototypes of these technologies, all of which are paradoxical to the empty kingdoms of the past.

Not surprisingly, the remnants of the Sky Country were found by the Oni Country, and they were eliminated, and their technology was collected for secondary creation and research.

Looking at the behemoth docked in the port, Lu Jiu also took a deep breath.

Although he knew that such a steel giant ship would definitely be a little bulky in terms of action, he understood that if the Oni Country dared to take it out, it must have overcome many weaknesses of the ships of the Sky Country in the past, and it was estimated that it would be difficult to destroy it with the power of the ninja.

Moreover, just facing such a huge 'monster' will make you feel extremely shocked inside.

The military power of the Oni Country is probably much stronger than the estimated maximum.

Getting off the ship, Ruri saw Shikaku waiting there for the first time, and beside him, there were Konoha ninjas such as Kaichi Yamanaka and Akido Dingza.

There were about a dozen people who greeted them.

There is upper forbearance and there is middle forbearance.

Behind Ruri, her daughter Kazuhime followed, and further behind, there were several upper ninjas of the Oni Country, patrolling the surrounding environment while approaching the Konoha ninja.

Lujiu welcomed the arrival of Ruri and the others, and then said, "Hokage-sama is waiting for you in the village, please come with me." ”

Ruri looked at Lu Jiu, an old friend, and just nodded, without objection, and left the port with Lu Jiu, heading towards Konoha.

The speed of the crowd was very fast, and after about half a day, they arrived at Konoha Village.

Liuli looked at the familiar Konoha gate, as in the past, he didn't expect that he had been away from here for more than ten years, and there was still no change.

Entering the village through the Konoha Gate, the first thing you see is still the huge Hokage Shadow Rock engraved on the cliff in the distance.

"What, do you miss seeing Shadow Rock?"

Lu Jiu asked with a smile.

Liuli didn't refute, nodded and said: "Yes, it's a little nostalgic, obviously left for more than ten years, but this picture is like yesterday." However, there are still differences, at that time, there were only three statues on Shadow Rock. ”

"The extra one is the statue of Lord Mizumon of the fourth generation."

"I know, it's a pity he's dead."

Ruri nodded.

Lu Jiu listened, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and the smile stiffened directly on his face.

He knew that Liuli was just seeking truth from facts, and he didn't mean to mock maliciously, but he still felt a little uncomfortable when he heard such words.

And if he remembers correctly, the reason why the Nine-Tails rioted in the first place was inseparable from the dark box operation of the Ghost Country.

"I've always wanted to go head-to-head with him, but unfortunately I don't have that opportunity now."

Lu Jiu heard Ruri continue to sigh and didn't say anything.

I also regret in my heart, if only Watergate had not died in the Nine-Tails Rebellion, with Watergate's tough attitude and his strength, he can definitely cause a huge deterrent to the country of ghosts, so that the country of ghosts will not dare to act rashly.

Konoha will not become a laughing stock at the Five Shadows Conference.

Compromise and concession to the traitorous ninja dealt a heavy blow to Konoha's face.

"Then again, is it enough to bring such a few people? That's a whole family collection. ”

Lu Jiu looked at several Oni Ninja behind Ruri, and a cold girl who looked very similar to Ruri.

It is unrealistic for several people to want to carry a family's collection, no matter how you look at it.

"There is no problem, the few branches opened by the Aster Flower Pharmaceutical Company in Konoha should be able to squeeze out some manpower."

Ruri said.

During the War of the Land of Wind, several branches of Shionka Pharmaceutical Company in Konoha were grounded and monitored.

But with the end of the war, the defeat of Sungakure and Konoha turned into a result, and Konoha lifted the ban and surveillance on these branches, as if nothing had happened.

Once that line is touched, it will be tantamount to giving the country of demons an excuse to attack Konoha at that time.

This is a completely unfavorable situation for Konoha.

The current Konoha can't withstand too much tossing, in the case of such heavy losses.

"Mom, I'll leave the negotiation to you, I'll take a look around."

At this time, Kazuhime suddenly spoke.

Ruri glanced at her and nodded in agreement.

Kazuhime had studied in Konoha in the past, so she was no stranger to the situation here, so she didn't need a guide.

"Don't make a fuss."

Kazuhime waved his hand, signaling that he understood.

◎

"Uncle Hand beating, a big bowl of miso barbecued pork ramen!"

The boy with the six beards on his face ran in and shouted happily to the boss behind the counter.

"Oh, it's Naruto, it's a little late today."

The forty-year-old glanced at Naruto and smiled kindly.

"Because cultivation wasted a little time."

A little kid named Naruto replied.

"Naruto is really a good boy who works hard, he must have done well in school."

Hand said so.

"Where, where."

Naruto scratched his head and smiled shyly.

It is really impossible to say that the practical class is the first to the bottom of the class, and the theory class is the last class.

He was also ridiculed for being the boss of the stupid trio in the class, and one day, he was going to be the Hokage and shut up those guys!

"Calamus, a big bowl of miso barbecued pork ramen, remember to put a little more barbecued pork, it's Naruto."

He shouted at the kitchen.

"Got it, Dad."

The crisp voice of a young girl came from the kitchen.

Naruto sat there expectantly waiting for his ramen to be ready.

At this moment, the curtain was lifted again.

"Welcome, guest, what kind of ramen would you like to eat?"

He said to the guests who came in.

"Two large bowls of tonkotsu barbecued pork ramen, packed."

The girl who came in was none other than Kazuhime, and she said to the hand.

"Okay, pack a big bowl of tonkotsu barbecued pork ramen for two."

I wrote it down and kept the girl in the kitchen busy.

"Having said that, the little girl's face and temperament are a little familiar, and I always feel like I've seen them somewhere."

Hand hit this is looking at a Ji's appearance, as if he is recalling something.

"A few years ago, I lived in Konoha for a while."

Kazuhime replied.

"Seems to be the case...... However, I think this familiarity is more like a long time ago. In the past, there was often a combination of men and two women who came to eat the ramen I made, and occasionally brought their leader Shangnin over, one of the women was particularly able to eat, and she had to eat dozens of bowls every time, so that their leader Shangnin always had a bitter face. ”

Because at that time, it was not my own platform, but my father's platform, and I was usually busy in the kitchen all the time, so I had very little time to contact customers.

"Really?"

Kazuhime nodded, she knew who the hand hit was talking about.

Aunt Ayane, who has also heard of her in the past, is a regular customer of this Ichiraku ramen.

As for leading the team to shinobi, it should be the dead Konoha White Fang Banner Mu Shuomao.

When looking at the past photos of the elders, there was such a person.

Immediately after, Ichihime sat down bored, waiting for the ramen to be ready.

In such a wait, it is inevitable to look elsewhere.

So, she looked at Naruto, who was sitting next to her, a little reserved and curious, secretly looking at herself.

After discovering the fact of peeking, Naruto quickly looked away, a little restless, and his body trembled slightly.

After realizing that he had been stared at by the other party, Naruto became so angry that he didn't dare to breathe.

Although the other party is not a few years older than himself, he feels that the other party is very scary.

This kind of terribleness, how to say it, is not a gap in strength, but like facing an elder with a stern expression, he is cowardly and cowardly and does not dare to speak back.

"Do you want sugar?"

In such a tense and uneasy atmosphere, Kazuhime broke this awkward atmosphere and said to Naruto.

"Huh?"

Naruto looked up blankly and looked at Kazuhime.

"Do you want sugar?"

Kazuhime asked again.

"That...... Y-Are you talking to me? ”

Naruto was a little excited.

He has always had a mentality of fear and worry about strangers.

I don't know why, many adults in the village hate him, and even many children in the school are influenced by that group of adults, and often secretly hit him with stones, laughing at him as a 'fox monster'.

Really, he is obviously a human, how can he be a fox monster?

So much so that not only in the village, but also in school, there are very few friends who can play together.

That's why strangers talk to him and show kindness to him, so he is so excited and happy.

Seeing the other party like this, Yiji didn't know what to say for a while, so she could only look at her with pity.

This kind of human pillar force, probably given a little kindness, can be easily abducted from Konoha .

"Pick one, it's a very tasty candy. I specially asked the old man to make it for me. ”

Out of nowhere, Kazuhime took out a palm-sized bag and untied the knots, revealing a lot of candy inside.

Each candy is wrapped in delicate wrapping paper and looks superb.

Put it in front of Naruto and let him choose one of them.

"Thank you, big sister. Then I'll choose one. ”

Naruto happily reached into the bag and chose one of them.

Peeling open the wrapper and looking at the candy as clear as crystal, Naruto swallowed.

This candy was so beautiful, he had never seen such a beautiful candy, and he knew it was delicious when it looked like it.

Don't hesitate to put the candy in your mouth.

All of a sudden, a large amount of sourness filled his mouth, making Naruto's smiling face suddenly distort into a ball, and tears were unconsciously soured by the sourness of the candy.

Naruto's heart was filled with all kinds of resentment towards Kazuhime.

What sour!

This big sister, is she trying to murder him?

Why is there such a sour candy, the old man who made this candy must be a bad guy.

"It looks like you got sour candy, it's a pity, you're not lucky."

Kazuhime looked at Naruto's pained face with a look of satisfaction.

Children, it is better to understand the sinister nature of society.

In this way, you will not be deceived by adults.

It's so kind to educate a child about himself in this way.

"Big sister, you lie, this is not delicious at all."

Naruto looked at Kazuhime without tears.

The sour taste stayed in his mouth for a minute and didn't dissipate, Naruto had never eaten such an unpalatable candy.

"That's because you were unlucky and picked a sour candy. Is it difficult, do you want to try again? There's a super tasty candy hidden in there, and only smart kids can eat it. ”

Kazuhime looked at Naruto with a smile.

Super tasty...... Candy? Naruto looked at Kazuhime suspiciously.

And, is there any connection between being smart and eating the best candy?

However, ninjas don't get knocked down twice in the same place.

After thinking about it, he took out another candy from the bag, opened the candy wrapper, hesitated, and put it in his mouth.

"Naruto, the miso barbecued pork ramen you asked for is already ......"

At this time, he came over with a large bowl of ramen.

"Ahh

Naruto suddenly let out a hoarse shout.

"Spicy, spicy to death! It's spicy! I'm so spicy! ”

The tear ducts seemed to be broken, and the tears kept rushing down.

His mouth was red, as if it was swollen.

Naruto jumped up from his seat, climbed onto the counter, and hurriedly called for help from his hand:

"Hand and hand uncle, water, give me water!"

"Naruto, don't mess around, the ramen is going to be spilled!"

Tetsu was also taken aback by Naruto's movements.

"Give me water! I want to drink water! It's so spicy! ”

Naruto was still howling, not caring if his ramen had spilled or not, he was now just drinking water and flushing out all the spiciness.

Soon, Kazuhime walked out with two large bowls of packaged ramen noodles expressionlessly, completely ignoring the scene of chickens flying and dogs jumping in the ramen shop.

"How can you easily believe the words of adults, what a stupid little ghost."

The Nine-Tails Pillar Force was completely defeated.
