As soon as the front foot walked out of the patriarch's building, he saw Ashina's kid sneaking over with a ghost head and a ghost on the back foot.

"Second brother, does Dad know everything? I'll just say that Dad is so wise, we can't hide it from him......"

"What nonsense."

Zhou Xuan grabbed his younger brother's shoulders and interrupted him: "Dad, eldest sister, and elders, they don't know anything, don't show me your stuffing!" ”

Ashina said with a bitter expression: "Second brother, I really don't understand, why do you have to use my mouth to say about the establishment of the village, can you say no to your father?" ”

"It just so happens that Dad has always thought that you are not a good person, and many clansmen also think that you are not powerful, so I will definitely be able to use this opportunity to gag their mouths and spread the name of your genius!"

"Genius fart, be quiet!"

Zhou Xuan knocked his younger brother on the head with a chestnut, looked around, and pulled Ashina to the remote place next to him.

"Second brother, I don't care, if you don't give a convincing reason this time, I will definitely report you to my father!" Ashina said firmly.

"In the past few years, how many black pots have I helped you carry? The previous Chidori, Spiral Pill, and Multiple Shadow Clones were all developed by you, but you have to rely on me when you come back! ”

As soon as he talked about the blame, Ashina was wronged, and his second brother was a genius, only he knew.

A few years ago, every time the second brother developed a new ninjutsu, he stuffed the scroll of the ninjutsu to himself, coerced and lured, and disguised himself as a coincidental pick up from the family ninjutsu library, and then handed it over to the family, for which he not only had the reputation of a genius in the family, but also had the nickname of the son of luck.

In addition, the ninjutsu developed by the second brother is really powerful, and the reason why the Uzumaki clan has been able to win many battles on the battlefield over the years has accounted for a lot of credit, but the people not only don't know anything, but they have always felt that the second brother is mediocre.

Zhou Xuan was amused, and knocked a chestnut on Ashina's head with his backhand: "What is the black pot on the back, can you speak?" I'm clearly giving you credit. ”

Ashina covered his head and was aggrieved: "It's not what I did, but you are stuck on my head, isn't it a black cauldron?" ”

"If this continues, I'll change my name to the Vortex Cauldron King!"

Zhou Xuan was not happy to hear this: "Isn't it okay to do something for me?" ”

Ashina said: "If the second brother wants to help with other things, I can do anything, but I just don't carry the black pot, I deserve to be deceived by you when I was ignorant before, but now I have my own opinions!" ”

Circumstantial: "......"

My stupid Oodoudou seems to have grown up?

Can you even say such things as assertiveness?

What Zhou Xuan didn't know was that in recent years, Ashina Akira had often heard clansmen discussing him, and the clansmen thought that the next patriarch would either be him or the eldest sister Mito, but it couldn't be his mediocre and ordinary second brother.

Ashina was very unconvinced by this, and felt that he had "stole" the name of the second brother's genius, the second brother was clearly a peerless genius who developed ninjutsu, and the ninjutsu he developed saved the lives of many clansmen on the battlefield.

At the meeting just now, although he was praised by the eldest sister and the elders for enjoying it very comfortably, he knew very well in his heart that the honor did not belong to himself, but to the second brother, and he could no longer "steal" the honor of the second brother.

……

"Ugh."

Zhou Xuan was silent for a moment, and suddenly sighed deeply.

This sigh suddenly made Ashina's heart even more uncomfortable.

"Since you said such a thing, then the second brother won't hide it from you." Zhou Xuan said.

"Didn't you always want to know why I asked you to take the blame, and I'll tell you the reason today."

Ashina's eyes widened, and the sense of anticipation was instantly filled, and he couldn't help but wonder why he was behind the blame.

"Because...... I'm afraid of death! ”

"Afraid of death?" Ashina is confused.

"Yes." Circling around and saying leisurely, he looked like he had explained all the details.

"Although I have a little bit of a bright brain, I can develop ninjutsu such as spiral pills, and come up with a plan to build a village, but strength is my hard injury after all, the second brother is sixteen years old this year, but he is still a middle ninja, and the key is that this middle ninja TM is still special! Do you know how sad and uncomfortable the second brother is? ”

"Second Brother ......"

Ashina suddenly felt compassion and sympathized with the second brother.

"The second brother also wants to become stronger, and he also wants to become a shinobi at the age of twelve like you, but the second brother can't do it......"

Zhou Xuan made a sad look, looked at his younger brother's eyes that were more sad than himself, and almost said the sentence "The second brother went to the battlefield at the age of twelve to pick his eyes and deal with the shadow-level powerhouse".

"Ashina, imagine what you would do if our Uzumaki's sworn enemy, Kaguya, had a genius who developed a lot of powerful ninjutsu and came up with an idea that could suppress our Uzumaki Clan forever?"

"Kill him, of course!" Ashina did not hesitate.

"That's right." Zhou Xuan said, "If the Kaguya clan knew that I had done so much credit for our family, they would definitely spare no effort to kill me on the battlefield, and I am just a special shinobi, they can kill me as long as they send a random shinobi." ”

"But you're different, you're a shinobi now, you're powerful, every combat operation is with the shinobi in the family, and the Kaguya clan can't target you on the battlefield."

Hearing this, Ashina suddenly realized.

It turned out that he really helped the second brother carry the black pot!

"The second brother is very ashamed, as an elder brother, I should have protected you, but because of my weak strength, I was greedy for life and afraid of death, so I had to use you as a shield...... Well, since you are so reluctant to take the blame, then I will go and confess to my father now, saying that the plan to build a village was conceived by me, and those ninjutsu were also developed by me before, so if the Kaguya clan wants to kill me, come on! ”

With that, he walked towards the patriarch's building.

"Don't!"

Ashina reacted and hurriedly grabbed Zhou Xuan.

"Second brother, don't confess! I didn't reject it, I helped you carry these black pots! ”

"No, even if I die on the battlefield, I will never let my brother take the blame for me again!" The righteousness is awe-inspiring, and the struggle is struggling.

"Second brother, don't be like this!"

Ashina was about to cry: "It's because I'm stupid and ignorant, and I thought that the second brother was just giving me credit, but I didn't know that there was such a secret behind it." ”

"Second brother, don't worry, although your strength is weak, I will definitely protect you every step on the battlefield, and I will never let any enemy hurt you!"

Zhou Xuan said ashamedly: "But now that you have grown up, I can't forgive myself for using you as a shield again." ”

"Second brother! What are you talking about! We are brothers! Ashina jumped up and down in a hurry.

"If the second brother doesn't let me carry this black cauldron, I will never be able to forgive myself!"
