The day after Yoshiyo returned to Konoha.

When the Uchiha guards with the ping-pong racket emblem reappeared on the street, the villagers of Konoha were really happy and worried.

The joy is because there are no days when Uchiha patrols the streets, and any bull, ghost, snake, god, and hooligan dare to come out and be presumptuous.

Most of the temporary guards formed by the Hinata, Sarufei, and Yamanaka clans are more than less, and the law enforcement is quite lax to maintain the villagers' goodwill towards them. As long as you don't see it or the matter is not serious, then it is considered to have not happened, and the street is basically free-range management.

The number of patrols they make every day is only half of that of the Uchiha garrison, and at night there are only a few people on duty in the garrison, and there are a few ninjas who drink too much and make trouble and injure people, all of which are dealt with by the Hokage's direct subordinates.

Now that the Uchiha has returned, the days of arresting all of them, no matter how big or small, and treating everyone equally, have returned, at least the business and property safety of the neighbors has been guaranteed.

As for worry, it is because the Uchiha clan's unique, superior eyes and attitude are also unavoidable.

As long as someone violates the security regulations of the garrison, they will be taken away for interrogation, which will inevitably make people feel trembling, for fear that they have done something wrong, and everyone will be under great pressure.

However, they regained their responsibilities and at least wiped away a dark cloud above Konoha's head—

That is, the rumors of an imminent war between the village and the Uchiha have dissipated on their own, which is a good thing anyway.

After Shisui returned to the village yesterday, in the Hokage's office, he also provided evidence to the Fugaku clan chief and the clan Shinobi, as well as the Hokage and his advisors, to prove that this incident was the work of the Sansho Yukaga of Yuyin Village, and finally extinguished the fire line that was about to ignite the explosive barrel.

Of course, the killing of Sansho Yujiahe was also borne by him.

For the village, the foreign enemy is dead, and the next thing is to find Hanzo to ask for an explanation and compensate the Uchiha.

For a clan, the enemy is dead, and the other party is still the son of a demigod in the ninja world, which is acceptable.

As a result, Fugaku shook hands with the three generations and made peace, the iron curtain in the village temporarily collapsed, Konoha resumed normal operation, and Shisui became the hero of the clan, just like during the ninja war.

But what the truth of this matter is, neither the clan nor the village knows.

But right now, the Uchiha hero is apologizing to the Tomiyaki couple.

Yiyong's injury was said to be caused by an accident when he was fighting the enemy, and the shadow clone took Yiyong away.

"The Great Luo of the Worlds"

And on the second floor, in Yoshiyu's own room, he was listening to the news that the crow was going to narrate the Kawanokuni.

"Now that everyone has detoxified and woken up, then just cut that thing out."

Yi Yong pondered for a while and asked, "Is Xing Shoulang's money enough?" ”

If it wasn't enough, he had to borrow some from his mother.

"Kyojuro-sama caught a strange fish in the river and rescued a merchant's son from the belly of the fish, so he received a large amount of thanks! You don't have to worry about money anymore! ”

"Is that guy alright?"

"Alive. It's just that you won't be able to see fish again! ”

"Oh." Yi Yong lowered his eyelids, "It's a pity." ”

After all, he likes fish the most.

To continue: "Now those children are awake, but the operation has not been done, and they all have serious heart knots.

"Kyojuro-sama plans to come and meet you after arranging those children! Please wait a little longer! ”

Yi Yong nodded understandingly.

For the victims, Yiyong used to be mostly handed over to the hidden army to deal with, but Xingjulang likes to start and finish well when time is not pressing.

"Lord Yiyong, the news has arrived, then I will take my leave, and I will bother next time."

After saluting, he immediately flew away.

From here to the country of Kawanokuni, the ninja is moving at full speed, and it will take a day and a half.

But for the crow, which is far faster than ordinary crows, at a speed of 350 kilometers per hour, it can fly there in less than four hours, and the communication between Yiyong and Xingjuro is quite convenient.

"I just don't know, can I turn the crow into a psychic beast......"

That way the message will be delivered faster.

Just as he was thinking about going to ask about stopping the water at night, Sasuke came in.

He stuck the ball of his foot into the gap in the paper door and pushed it open. He held a tray with drinks and food in both hands, and a smug smile on his face.

He was happy, not gloating about being injured by the volunteers.

In fact, when he first saw Yiyong's appearance last night, he cried as if he was the one who was injured.

The reason why Zuosuke is like this now is because he finally has the opportunity to take care of Yiyong in turn!

！

Obviously, he is the elder brother, but every time he goes outside, the clansmen will ask when they see him: "Zuosuke, where did your twin brother go?" ”

Sometimes my father let the two of them go at home, and he also directly told Yiyong: "Be optimistic about Zuo Zhu!" ”

It can be seen that the dignity of being an elder brother has long been wiped out under the careful care of Yiyong.

But today is the day of his turnaround. He will repay (take revenge) for what the righteous courage has done to him.

"I made you something to eat, oh Yiyong."

Sasuke put the tray on the ground and triumphantly passed it with his fingers: "There were omelettes, sausages, boiled potatoes, and a glass of orange juice, but I squeezed it out with my own hands." ”

He showed his yellow-orange palm to Yiyong, apparently taking it as medal-like evidence.

"Why do you do ......"

Yiyong's eyes swept over the ingredients one by one, and he felt that he looked good, "I just have a leg problem." ”

As he spoke, he moved his arm.

The doctor came yesterday.

Because the growth of Yiyong's wound is okay, and with Uchiha Mikoto by his side, it is impossible for a medical ninja to use palm immortal magic to stimulate a child's cell division. According to the judgment, his leg will be recovered naturally by medicine, and it will be half a month younger.

However, the contusion on the upper body is almost healed.

"Asking patients to cook, if this kind of thing is known, it is too much to say! I don't want to be pointed at. ”

Zuo Zhu said reasonably, wrapped his arms around him, and said condescendingly: "During this time, you can honestly accept my care!" Hum! ”

“……”

Why do good things have to be said in the tone of a bad person? 】

Yiyong didn't know how to respond, so he could only lower his head and reach for the fast son, but he was taken first by Zuo Zhu.

"What are you doing?!"

He stared at Yiyong with a wary expression before picking up the omelette and passing it to Yiyong's mouth.

"Mom said, let you move less. Leave it to me. Come, open your mouth—"

Yiyong had no choice but to open his mouth wide and take a bite.

He chewed carefully at first, but after a few times, his clenched teeth gradually stopped.

His eyes gradually deepened, and a rumbling sound came from his throat, and he swallowed the food directly.

"Is it delicious?"

Sasuke excitedly pressed his face over to him, his dark eyes widening round. It can be seen that he does not want any answer that does not meet his heart.

"......" Yiyong pondered for a while and asked, "Why isn't my mother cooking?" ”

"Stopping the water has made you like this, and Mom is accepting his apology."

Zuosuke's attention was only taken away for a moment, but he immediately returned to his original position and asked the sentence again, "Is it delicious?" ”

Yiyong knows that this is the kind of "do you like cats or dogs" similar to Inuzuka Paw, and once you answer truthfully, there will definitely be unpredictable consequences.

"Did you eat it yourself?"

"I'm eating leftovers from last night."

Zuo Zhu frowned, "Besides, I made it for you, what's the matter with eating it yourself?" ”

The third time, he asked, "How is it, do you think it tastes good?" ”

This time, there was no smile on his face, and the suspicion in his eyes was about to overflow.

“…… Why didn't I see the ferret? ”

At the critical moment, Yi Yong looked through the paper door and saw that the door of the opposite house was closed, and asked this question.

Sure enough, when it came to Zuosuke's most admired brother, his expression was slightly gloomy, and he almost put the bowl down.

"He hasn't come out today."

Zuosuke scratched his head, looking distressed, "I went to look for him just now, but he was still sleeping, and as soon as my father said it, I didn't dare to bother anymore." ”

Then, he stared into Yiyong's eyes and asked, "Could it be that in addition to your injury, this time you are outside, and my brother has encountered something bad?" ”

A hint of worry flashed in Yiyong's eyes, a little worried about Itachi's psychological state. Although he is not a ninja, he probably understands that although Itachi was not injured this time, he suffered an unprecedented psychological blow.

In fact, the Itachi in the opposite room had already heard the conversation between the two. He was sitting by the door with a look as dull as righteousness.

This time he went out on a mission, and the psychological blow he suffered was a total of three times.

The first is that the senior who was going to sacrifice in order to keep the secret turned out to be a trap specially tailored for him by the roots.

At the beginning, he did make an agreement with his father to join the Shadows and become a spy at the top of the family, but there was some reluctance in it.

But as the mission used by the dark department (which is actually the root) to test him gradually unfolds, the other party will also tell him before each mission what is the point of carrying out these assassination missions-

This is all aimed at eradicating and eradicating all hidden dangers that threaten the village and the peace.

Ninjas, who are secretly guarding peace, don't always think about doing something glorious and righteous, it is really because they are incognito, willing to dirty their hands, and always secretly solve the enemies of the village, that peace can be maintained.

Itachi was resistant at first, but as the number of tasks increased, he subtly began to use this way of thinking, and felt that he was indeed doing something meaningful.

If killing just one person can stop more from dying, then why not?

Even though he is a genius of the Uchiha, after this series of tasks, he is gradually influenced by this kind of thinking, after all, one must convince himself in order to maintain his mental balance.

In this mission, when the ninja codenamed "Shen" decides to sacrifice himself, Itachi, who experienced this situation for the first time, is deeply touched.

However, when the illusion of stopping the water unravels all the truth, proving that this so-called sacrifice is just an emotional trap specially created for him by the root organization, Itachi is a human being, and the most important thing in his spirit - trust, is completely broken.

He remembered what Zhishui had said to him during the Shangnin exercise three years ago - "Of all the people in the village, the only one I can trust is you." ”

At that time, he was moved, but he still felt a little exaggerated. But now he understood the deeper meaning of the sentence.

After this incident, he could no longer trust the ninjas of the Shadows and Roots.

Many conspiracies are arranged for the inherent weaknesses of people, and no matter how strong the child is, under that kind of careful planning, there is still the possibility of being involved.

Now, how to fulfill the promise made to his father, and how to be a ninja, Itachi, who once thought he had an answer, fell into deep doubts.

The second is that "Shen" committed suicide with a detonation charm, but almost killed Yiyong.

Yiyong didn't take his injuries seriously, but Itachi couldn't have done this, after all, it was a dozen tons of stone slabs that smashed down directly.

If he were today, he would have absolutely no chance of surviving. Although the initiator was "Shen", if he hadn't been too naïve and trusted these people and took them all the way there, none of this would have happened.

Yiyong almost died at his own hands. Thinking of this, Itachi can't even pick up his own ninja knife these days.

From now on, he may not be able to trust his own judgment as much as he used to.

As for the third level, it is the anger of righteousness.

Yi Yong will not lie, he said that he will not be angry about being smashed, then absolutely not.

But why, he couldn't figure it out, and Yiyong didn't say anything, he only knew that this way back, Yiyong didn't say a word, and he didn't mention what happened to him, and the degree of self-isolation was far greater than usual.

But when he thought of facing such a younger brother in the future, Itachi only felt that the future was bleak.

This trip to the Land of Rain......

Itachi Uchiha lost trust in others, lost self-confidence, and even lost the favor of his younger brother.

Under the triple blow in a row, not to mention for him, a teenager who has just entered adolescence, even an adult ninja will fall into a mental crisis like a collapse.

At this moment, he stuck it on the paper door, just to wonder, at least the last point, that is, the relationship with Yiyong, how he should remedy it.

"What do you mean when you just said that something 'again' happened to him?"

Yi Yong asked, "Have you ever been in such a situation before?" ”

"Hmmm......"

Sasuke recalled, "It was the day my mother came back from a long-term mission. My brother said he wanted to practice shuriken with me, but I almost got hurt. He was in a terrible state that day, he was preoccupied, and he looked a lot like when he came back yesterday......"

"When I asked him if something was going on to make him unhappy, he didn't tell me, but asked me a question."

"What's the problem?"

Yi Yong also remembered that day.

He instantly appeared next to Itachi, but the latter subconsciously drew his sword......

"My brother asked me what I would do if I created a small disaster and could have avoided a bigger one?"

Zuosuke looked at Yiyong curiously.

"Tomorrow the ninja school will start, so I can't take this question. Yi Yong, do you know the answer to this question? ”

Yiyong fell silent.

And Uchiha Itachi, who was clinging to the paper door, held his breath and waited for his brother's answer.
