Chapter 143: One Step Late

Life is terrible these days.

Thanks to Kyojuro, Tsunade successfully quit drinking three years ago, and finally stopped wasting his life in a messy and drunk.

This long-lost sobriety gave Tsunade a strong self-confidence, allowing her to devote more time to her favorite table.

Unfortunately, without a drunk Tsunade, his luck was even worse than in the past.

In the past three years, the interest on the gambling debts owed by this big fat sheep has approached ten figures, which is equivalent to the remuneration of hundreds of S-level tasks.

Just a few days ago, she was approached by more than a dozen creditors and had to hand over the guinea to them as collateral to get out.

However, that night, Tsunade won a small win for the first time in a long time.

But instead of continuing to play, she became suspicious, and immediately sent Shizune to steal the porpoise from the creditor, and the two of them fled to the land of fire overnight.

[The problem of slow update of new chapters has finally been solved on the app that can change the source, download it here.]

Although the guinea pig has not suffered much during the time it has been used as collateral, the pearl necklace around its neck and specially customized small clothes have been exchanged for money by creditors, and now it looks no different from an ordinary piglet.

After arriving at the new place, Shizun made a bow tie for the guinea pork, and the daimyo guardian Shinobu came to the door again for help.

Due to the critical condition of the patient, the two had to rush to the Fire City to treat the Daimyo's daughter-in-law, who was seriously injured by the detonation charm.

The long and intense treatment is over. Just when I didn't sleep for more than thirty hours, thinking that I could finally rest, the ape flew to the sun.

Tsunade has a special identity and a good temper, so if you don't want to see it, you can naturally refuse to ignore it, but in that case, Shizune will have to answer many questions for her, and she will survive for a long time.

Seeing that the three generations were about to finish chattering, the old man was suddenly called out by Kakashi, but when he came back a few minutes later, his face was as gloomy as iron, and without saying a word, he broke into Tsunade's room and said loudly, "Something happened in the village!" ”

In this way, Shizun, who had already boiled out the dark circles under her eyes, could only eat soldier food pills to replenish her strength, and she held on for more than 20 hours to rush back to Konoha.

When she came back last night and saw the collapsed Hokage building, she thought she was dreaming because she was too sleepy.

She followed Tsunade and Miyo to listen to what happened, and went to the hospital to see the condition of the injured, and when she reacted to the silence, she was already standing in front of the Uchiha's clan gate with a guinea in her arms.

"Why am I here?" 】

"Alas......"

Sarutobi glanced at the figure on the wall of the Uchiha clan.

Among the ninjas on duty who looked at them coldly, whether it was the elderly who had always been disgruntled, or the young people who had graduated in recent years and had a more gentle attitude, none of them wore Konoha's standard vest, nor did they wear Konoha's forehead guard.

It seems that the ambush of foreign ninjas at the Minamigagawa Shrine to pay tribute to the dead has made the Uchiha completely disappointed in Konoha.

Needless to say, those Uchiha, who had always been against him, found out that the patriarch, the patriarch's wife, and Yoshiyoshi had that kind of strength, and they had been trying to persuade Fugaku to simply take Konoha down by force. It's just that there are righteous guards at the door, and they can't even enter the entrance.

And another group of clansmen who still longed for the village in the past also showed a look of frustration as if they had seen through everything, as if they hoped that the clansmen would follow the example of Madara Uchiha back then and move out to find a way out.

As for staying-

Who can guarantee that the same thing won't happen again?

Obviously he didn't do anything, but he was almost wiped out directly, and no one can trust this village anymore.

"Hokage-sama......"

Under the vicious gaze of a pair of double writing wheels, Mute's originally drowsy brain instantly became a lot clearer.

"Do you really want the shadows or the upper ninja retinue in the village?"

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

On the wall of the clan land, a young clansman in his twenties chuckled and mocked, "It's better to go back and call more people, it's better to call the entire Konoha ninja here!" With just the two of you and a pig, you can't even break in, right? ”

"That's enough."

A figure jumped up the fence and stopped the former from continuing, it was none other than the Uchiha Iron Fire who was on duty.

After he stood still, he scanned the empty streets outside the clan land and the Hyuga clan land opposite, and indeed found no trace of anyone else.

And according to the news from the reconnaissance ninja cat, the ninjas who were stationed near the Uchiha outside yesterday were all withdrawn early this morning.

Now that the Hokage is in person, he actually only brought a medical ninja who has been away from the village for many years to come, which shows the basic sincerity, so the Uchiha Iron Fire also behaved quite restrained.

"Three generations." Uchiha Iron Fire asked condescendingly, "Since you appear here, it means that Konoha already has a countermeasure, right?" ”

His tone was not aggressive, but the words he spoke were distant, and every word contained a sense of hostility.

"It's iron fire......"

The third generation closed his eyes and slowly opened them, hooked his head and shook his head: "The so-called countermeasures are plans to target the enemy or deal with trouble.

"The Uchiha is not an enemy of the village, nor is he a trouble for the village, with such words, I beg not to agree."

"Stop saying those nice things that waste time! This is not the opening ceremony of the ninja school! ”

Before the Uchiha could respond, the young man had already spoken angrily.

"It's not an enemy, why are we surrounded by foreign ninjas in our own clan?

"It's not an enemy, why did the village secretly capture Uchiha Itachi and Lady Maikoto?

"It's not an enemy, what about the thousands of ninjas you guys stationed nearby yesterday?!

"Not an enemy, why have you been spying on us for so many years? Why did you place us on the outskirts of the village, right next to the Hinata?! ”

A series of comparative questions made the three generations open their mouths, and they had nothing to say for a while.

Although he had expected the Uchiha to ask such a question, he never had a suitable answer.

There was silence for about half a minute, and the ape Fei Ri spoke in a stubborn voice.

"If I say that this matter is a personal act of Tuan Zang from beginning to end, you probably won't believe it."

The Uchiha on the fence didn't respond, apparently they did.

It would be too much to say if the ape flew to the sun and pushed everything on the dead man in Tuanzang.

"So, even if you think I'm an accomplice to Tuanzang and think that I planned this operation with him, I don't mean to refute it.

"I did set up a secret department, purchased a large number of high-level instruments, and sent the dark department to observe the Uchiha's every move.

"Many of the shinobi in the Hyuga clan are indeed secretly carrying out the surveillance mission I signed.

"In addition to this, there have been multiple reviews of the garrison, restrictions on the number of Uchiha ninja promotions, and assignments to Uchiha ninjas who cannot accumulate combat experience...... Each of these measures was formulated by me personally. ”

"Hokage-sama......"

Shizune was stunned, I don't know if this old man is crazy, and it is too abnormal to tell such a big truth.

In fact, if she and Tsunade had come back a few years earlier, they would have found that although Sarutobi was getting older, her recent style of doing things had a tendency to return to when she was younger.

"Are you finally willing to admit it?" The Uchiha on the walls gritted his teeth.

Each of them has suffered all kinds of difficulties in the ninja promotion assessment, and the assigned tasks are all chores that can be completed independently, and there is almost no opportunity to do it with others.

Otherwise, when facing those foreign ninjas the day before yesterday, he would not be so passive without using the fire escape.

In the past, the clansmen did not think that this was intentional on the part of the village, but it has not been confirmed until today.

"All of the above is a sign that I am not fair enough to the Uchiha, so I don't think there is anything wrong with you treating me as an enemy."

Ape Fei Sun Slash continued: "But we are us, and the village is the village.

"You should be clear that the major ninjas in the village, as well as the rest of the ninjas, never had the idea of destroying the Uchiha.

"At the very least, the fact that Neto has to hide from the rest of the village and use foreign ninjas to do this is enough to show that, isn't it?"

The Uchiha exchanged glances on the wall, and they agreed with this sentence.

Today the village dares to use foreign ninjas to eliminate the Uchiha, and tomorrow it dares to use the same method to eliminate Hinata.

Ordinary ninjas don't say it, at least the major ninja clans will never allow this kind of thing to happen.

"So, if you want to find the enemies of the Uchiha, then in this village, there are only two people, Lao Fu and Danzo, and you don't have to count the others."

Ape Fei Ri raised his head, and his voice was slightly neutral.

"Now, Tuan Zang, as an important insider, has died without proof, and I don't want to use the evil art of reincarnation in the filthy earth to ask him to come out and explain anything.

"I don't know everything he does, but I see most of it. Since I am a shadow, I naturally have an unshirkable responsibility.

"So, in order to appease your anger, even if you want me, the perpetrator, to commit suicide.

"But the old man has a request, at least before that, let me meet with Uchiha Fugaku to have a discussion, so that we can make up for the mistakes we made before, how about it?"

Uchiha Iron Fire observed the old man's disgraced face from a distance of three or four meters, and noticed that the death will in the other party's eyes did not seem to be fake.

When the other party came here, he was indeed prepared not to get out alive.

"It's all said and done......"

After a few seconds of silence, the Uchiha Iron Fire raised his hand and ordered the people under the wall, "Then let him in." ”

"Vice-Captain?" The rest looked at him in disbelief, "Don't you inform the patriarch first?" ”

"No need." The Uchiha Iron Fire shook his head, "Call all the clansmen and gather in front of the patriarch's house to hear what he has to say." ”

When I went to look for the patriarch before, I would always be driven back by Yiyong with all kinds of connections that didn't count.

Now that he has taken the ape to the door, the patriarch has no reason to refuse to see the guest.

[Whether to go or stay, it's almost time for Fuyue to make a decision! 】

In this way, Sarutobi Hiza, surrounded by more and more Uchiha, came to the center of the clan land and knocked on the door of Fugaku's house.

"Fuyue, I'm Ape Flying Sun."

"I'm here to talk to you about the future of Uchiha and Konoha on behalf of the village."

Shizune stood behind the old man's side, his hands tightly wrapped around the guinea pork's waist like two chains, and the latter's face gradually changed from pink to purple.

It's just that the guinea dolphin also realized that the atmosphere was wrong, and didn't dare to snort at all, so he had to endure the discomfort and remain motionless.

The door opened.

A young man with short hair and a gauze covered left eye opened the door, and his purple-red writing wheel eyes quickly scanned the crowd outside the door, and finally stopped on the face of the ape flying sun.

"It's bravery."

[What did Orochimaru do to him, stimulating this kid like this. 】

Noticing the number of magatama in the eyes of the righteous writing wheel, the third generation smiled stiffly, "I haven't seen you for a while, and I heard that you went to the land of water." ”

Originally, he had planned to wait for the child to grow up, and perhaps just rely on the gentle personality of the other party and the friendship between him and Naruto and Kyojuro, and naturally and peacefully resolve the conflict between the Uchiha and the village......

But after listening to the report from the Konoha Hospital, Sarutobi learned that the night before yesterday, those who were bitten by the water dragon bullet and fell from the sky, one of them was seriously injured, and the cloud ninja died without exception, and it was reluctant to say that it was a coincidence.

But whether it was Yiyong's brutal methods or the strength he showed, he attributed it to Orochimaru's curse seal.

"Father asked me to ask you."

Yi Yong didn't mean to answer, and his gaze seemed to pass through his skin, falling on the muscles of Ape Fei Ri's face.

"Uchiha and the village, is there really a future to speak of?"

This scrutiny made Ape Fei Ri feel a little tingling, and he was about to speak, but Yi Yong solemnly added, "If you tell a lie, there is no need to go in." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Taking a deep breath, Ape Fei Ri nodded, "I think there is." ”

Yoshiyu's gaze moved away from his face and lingered on his heart for a moment, "Have you heard of the black weirdo who killed Shimura Danzo?" ”

"I heard." The three generations' faces were slightly grim, and he felt that Yi Yong cared about this issue far more than the previous one.

"Just as the teacher was asking you about 'Madara Uchiha', the strange man appeared and killed Danzo."

Yi Yong asked again, "Do you know who he is?" ”

"I don't know." Miyo shook his head, "This is also one of the things I came to discuss with your father today. ”

"Since you're not lying."

Yiyong bowed slightly, opened the door wider, and turned to the side, "Then please come in." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Thank you. ”

The old man didn't know how Yiyong judged that he was not lying, but he still thanked the other party for this trust.

This was the first Uchiha he had encountered today, who was not hostile to him and was willing to trust him, which gave Sarutobi some extra hope that things would be done.

Sarutobi and Shizune entered one after another, and when the Uchiha outside the door were about to follow in, Yoshiyoshi returned to the middle of the door frame, blocking their way.

The clansmen stopped and looked at each other, and no one dared to cross him and enter the door.

Just kidding, if it hadn't been for the timely arrival of the volunteers on the day of the siege, they would have been reduced by at least half by now.

The rest of the people in the village thought that this kid was so strong because of the curse seal, and only the Uchiha himself knew about it, so it was not like that at all.

Although everyone didn't say it explicitly, Yiyong had such a strong strength at a young age, and the clansmen already regarded him as the only candidate for the future patriarch.

"There can't be so many people in the house." Yoshito gestured to the backyard, "Father will talk to the Hokage on the terrace." Go over there. ”

The clansmen nodded, and immediately the geese walked away.

In this way, no matter what the two sides talk about, they will know the outcome immediately and will not continue to live in a suspended uncertainty.

By the time they got there, Uchiha Itachi had already beckoned tea to be placed on the table on the terrace, Mishiro and Uchiha Fugaku were on their side, but the former looked like an old tree that was about to die, and the latter was sitting on the back of his face, with a cold light in his eyes.

After the clan and Shizune took their respective seats, Uchiha Fugaku spoke.

"I remember that at the speed of the ferret, a trip to the Fire City is not considered a break, and it takes twenty-two hours, and a round trip is a little less than two days."

He glanced at his eldest son, who was kneeling behind him, "Is that so?" ”

Uchiha Itachi understood what his father meant, and looked deeply at Sarutobi Hichi: "Yes, this is my fastest speed." ”

"That's weird."

Uchiha Fugaku turned his head and put his hands in his sleeves and wrapped them around his chest, "The events of that day happened at seven o'clock the night before yesterday.

"Even if someone went to the Fire Capital to report at that time, and Hokage-sama returned sleepless after receiving the report, it should have arrived in Konoha this afternoon.

"But as far as we know, Hokage-sama came back last night, a little more than a day after the incident......"

Speaking of this, Uchiha Fugaku's voice was cold: "Isn't this a bit too much of a coincidence?" ”

The implication is that Ape Fei Ri has long known about the arrangements for Tuan Zang, and leaving the village is just a double yellow played by the two.

"It's reasonable doubt."

Ape Fei Ri smiled bitterly: "But in order to get to the business as soon as possible, I'll explain a little." ”

Uchiha Fugaku did not respond, with a dark look of "please perform".

"The reason why I left the village at such a time was because the son of the daimyo was assassinated, so I went to investigate it myself.

"After arriving in the Fire City, Kakashi and two Hyuga clansmen went to the scene to investigate the situation, and I myself went to appease the angry Daimyo.

"Around ten o'clock the night before yesterday, Kakashi returned to the Daimyo's official residence to report that he had found the whereabouts of the assailant. It's just that these murderers have also been killed by another group of people, and even the bodies have been burned. ”

Uchiha Fugaku furrowed his eyebrows, "You mean......"

"Yes, according to Kakashi's judgment, the way the perpetrator was killed is very similar to the style of the secret departments of various countries to destroy important intelligence personnel. But in fact, this method is the most important piece of evidence. ”

The third generation nodded, "The only dark ninja who can pass through layers of reconnaissance circles and act in the hinterland of the Fire Nation is the dark part of Konoha."

"I know the whereabouts of every dark ninja. During the time when the son of the daimyo was assassinated, only someone in the root area had gone out on a mission, so I immediately thought of Danzo. Maybe this assassination was just a means for him to get me out of Konoha.

"My guess at the time was that he was going to do something bold against the Yun Shinobi and Iwa Shinobi missions while I wasn't there. Considering that Danzang might lead to a war, I didn't hesitate to take people back to ...... immediately."

Sarutobi sighed, "But I never expected that it was the Uchiha who he wanted to eradicate." ”

Uchiha Fugaku sneered.

"Hokage-sama's next sentence, do you want to say that you didn't know about this matter from beginning to end, and the biggest mistake was just a failure to investigate?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Sarutobi lowered his head a little tiredly, then glanced at Yiyong and Zuosuke who were sitting in the corner, and suddenly said, "Fuyue, how much should you know about that child called Purgatory Kyojuro, right?" ”

"Brother Xingjuro?" Zuosuke's body straightened up suddenly, and he asked with surprise on his face, "What does this have to do with him?" ”

"Sasuke and Kyojurou are very familiar with each other, and they should understand that the child is a person who shines anytime and anywhere.

"He can make the Uchiha people in the ninja school put down their shelves and communicate with people, and he can also free the children of the Hyuga family from depression and distress. Even if it is an old man, if he has been communicating with him for a long time, he will be affected to some extent. ”

The third generation said with some nostalgia: "He has two sentences that I always remember very clearly. One sentence is that doing things with skills is going to the end of the road after all. Another sentence is, don't take your fantasies as enemies, and only solve the real problems. ”

"I know the second sentence!" Zuo Zhu was a little excited, "This is the first truth that Brother Xingjulang taught me!" ”

Uchiha Itachi pursed his lips imperceptibly when he saw Sasuke's reaction.

[Why can't you remember a few of what I said?] 】

Fuyue was already a little impatient when he heard this, "So what? What does this have to do with Hokage-sama's suspicions? ”

"I mean, since I had a few exchanges with that kid, I've come to understand that communicating openly and resolving misunderstandings is sometimes more effective than those shady little tricks.

"If, on the other hand, one is preceded by an imaginary enemy, any behavior of the other party will seem suspicious, but it will only grow that suspicion. For so many years, I've been making both of these mistakes with the Uchiha. ”

Sarutobi explained with some emotion, "So it wasn't long before I took back some of the powers that I had given to Danzou in the past, and instead of letting him act as he did in the past, I also reduced my surveillance of the Uchiha, and at the same time forbade him to investigate the ninjas in the village at will.

"After protesting with me a few times, Tuanzang gave up struggling and gradually restrained himself from acting recklessly, which is why I was relieved to hand over the village to him a few days ago.

"But now it seems that my restriction of his actions has not only had the effect of warning, but has driven him to the brink of madness.

"Fuyue, I say this not to shirk responsibility for the previous incident, but to prove that this matter was never at the behest of the village.

"Whatever choice you intend to make, make that a premise. I hope you don't take the limitations of our old fellows as the limitations of the whole village.

"If you imagine the rest of the village like that, you're making the same mistake as we were in the beginning."

"...... so"

Uchiha Fugaku heard the sound of Sarutobi's slash, "Are you planning to step down from the Hokage's position?" ”

"After such a thing, I don't have the face and qualifications to continue to serve as this Hokage. Not only the Uchiha couldn't trust me, but Hinata, Nara, and Yamanaka were all the same. No matter what Tuan Zang does, my share of guilt cannot be shirked. ”

Sarutobi lowered his head in shame, "Before coming here, I had already reported the results of the investigation into the assassination to the Daimyo. Presumably in another three or four days, the new power of attorney will arrive in Konoha along with my revocation order. ”

"What?"

A young clansman who had mixed in with the shinobi muttered in surprise, "Could it be that the meaning of the village is to let the patriarch do this Hokage?" ”

The Uchiha present, one of them, all listened to these words, and silently turned their heads to the clansman, so frightened that the latter did not dare to move.

Then they looked back at Miyo, apparently wondering if it was what the young man had guessed.

"Frankly, it's not realistic."

In the disappointed and annoyed eyes of the clansmen, the third generation shook his head: "Of course, the people in the village don't believe me, but they won't believe the Uchiha either. So I had to find someone who could be trusted by everyone to take the Hokage's place.

"If the Uchiha has any expectations for this position, then from now on, he must cultivate a shadow who can unite everyone in the village.

"If the shadow of a village is only a strong man who can defeat everyone, then you underestimate the qualities necessary to lead a ninja village."

"So, is your choice Tsunade?"

Glancing at the silent sound of holding the pig motionlessly, Fuyue had a guess.

"Yes." Miyo nodded, "I have already recommended her to the Daimyo, and I believe there will be no surprises."

"In addition, I have already explained to Tsunade that the two elders, Mito Menyan and Zhuan Koharu, are also older and always in poor health, so it's time to withdraw from their positions.

"New Elder, I recommend you and Nara Shikaku. Since the old Hokage building is not suitable for the Uchiha, then you young people, make new rules and build a new one by yourself. ”

Speaking of this, the three generations stared at Fu Yue's eyes tightly, "Fu Yue, what do you think?" ”

This is the first time since the establishment of Konoha that the decision-making power of affairs has been put in the hands of Uchiha.

Uchiha Fugaku pondered for a moment, "I remember that when the four generations of Hokage were here, the affairs of the village were still decided by you......"

"Don't worry about that."

Sarutobi shook his head slowly, "When the handover ceremony of the new Hokage is completed, you won't see me again." ”

Everyone's faces moved slightly, and they began to guess the ape's plan to fly to the sun. After all, combined with his previous statement of "seppuku suicide......

"Before I retire, I will cancel all the measures used to prevent the Uchiha in the past, and I will also make necessary compensation for the discriminatory treatment of the village in the past and the damage caused by the Danzo."

The third generation took out a document from his arms, "Here is the specific content of the compensation, you can take a look." ”

Uchiha Fugaku silently took the document and glanced at it, but his mind was not on it.

He was still thinking about whether Konoha led by Tsunade was worth keeping with Uchiha.

To be honest, he didn't think it was a good idea, either to go or to go back.

You don't have to think about it. Even if they captured Konoha, the Uchiha would have to pay huge casualties, and it would be difficult for the daimyo to be recognized.

If they are not recognized by the daimyo, then they are not legitimate ninja villages, and the ninja villages of the rest of the countries will definitely use this as an excuse to make them never have peace.

As for leaving, it's even more fantastical.

After Danzou used Yin Shanagi so many times in front of the envoys and ninjas of the two countries, it didn't take long for the eyeballs of the Uchiha people to become the most valuable commodity in the gold exchange house under the propaganda of the two countries.

At that time, unless all the clansmen are by the side of Uchiha Fugaku at all times, once they go out, what awaits them is the fate of being hunted down and hunted like prey.

But if the clansmen really hide under the protection of the strong in order to protect themselves, is it still Uchiha?

Even if you go out to take care of the tasks entrusted with them, what do the clansmen rely on to make a living?

In this world, even the Uchiha must find a ninja village that can provide shelter for them. These are the rules of the New World.

At the moment, the two countries don't need to think about it at all, they have already formed a mortal enmity.

The Land of the Wind is so poor that it can't even feed itself, and the Fog Village in the Land of Water is known for being good at cannibalism.

Xiao Ninja Village doesn't even need to think about it, it can't provide shelter at all, and the arrogance of the people can't look down on it at all.

In fact, if you think about it, only Konoha is the most suitable.

Although the Uchiha used to live here unhappily, after all, he has been in business for many years, and when he becomes a decision-maker, he can slowly and gradually turn around the situation of his clan.

Just when Fuyue was in a daze at the note, Yiyong came behind him silently and silently read the contents of the paper.

He suddenly asked, "Can I add a few?" ”

Fu Yue turned his head and glared at him, but Yiyong was not moved at all.

On the contrary, the three generations rarely showed a smile, and asked, "What do you ask for?" ”

He didn't think that with this child's character, he would make any unreasonable demands.

You know, even under the influence of something like the curse mark, he still let go of Iwa Shinobi, who did less damage to the Uchiha, and maintained some rationality.

"I want data from all the experiments that Root and Orochimaru have conducted."

As soon as Yi Yong opened his mouth, no one could have thought of answering, "In addition, there are several ninjas in the root, and they must be handed over to me, and the village is not allowed to ask." ”

Butterfly Ninja still remembered that he wanted to learn the secret art of insect control of the Oil Girl Clan, and there were just two ninjas of the Oil Girl Clan at the root.

Although one of them had his hands cut off, it didn't stop him from imparting the knowledge in his brain.

Since the roots of Danzo had destroyed the peace of the Rain Country, it would be a kind of compensation to use these people's techniques to accelerate the research of Butterfly Shinobi to cultivate the Rain Country crops.

"Yiyong, what do you want these experimental data for?"

Uchiha Mikoto was a little worried about the execution of Yoshiyu's trip to the Land of Water, whether he had witnessed some of Orochimaru's operations, so he learned badly.

didn't wait for Yiyong to answer, the three generations had already made up for him.

"What you want to study is actually the curse mark that Orochimaru left on your neck, I'm right, right?"

Yi Yong, who didn't know how to explain it a second ago, blinked, "Yes." ”

In part, Ape Flying Sun's guess was correct.

Mikoto Uchiha was relieved at this time.

"If that's the case, you shouldn't have to worry too much."

The three generations smiled slightly, as if they were a little relieved that this child was willing to give up the evil power in his hands without anyone interfering.

"Orochimaru once planted the same spell mark on one of his subordinates. But after I sealed that spell seal, I haven't seen anything unusual for so many years......"

"Wait a minute."

Yi Yong interrupted him with a stern expression, "Is the curse mark of Orochimaru's subordinate also in this shape?" ”

He leaned down and pulled his collar open for ape to be recognized.

"That's right, that's the shape of the spell mark on Mitarai Red Bean."

Ape Fei Ri didn't understand why Yi Yong was so nervous, "It should be called 'Heavenly Curse Seal'." ”

[The same spell mark as me, will there be any remnants of Orochimaru's soul in it? 】

As soon as this thought was born, it was driven away in the brains of Yi Yong.

The soul left by Orochimaru in his body was wiped out by Butterfly Shinobi, but in the consciousness of others, I am afraid that there will not be such a powerful soul to inhabit.

"Where does this guy called Mitarai Azuki live?" Yi Yong hurriedly asked, "Is she in the village today?" ”

"Yes."

Although the topic was inexplicably pulled away, Ape Fei Ri Slash still gave an answer.

"I'm going to meet this man."

After Yiyong got the address, without the slightest hesitation, he immediately flew out, stepped on the tree in the courtyard, and disappeared into a winding water wave.

Looking at the inexplicable Uchiha in the hall, Sarutobi wiped the sweat on his forehead: "Fuyue, then let's continue to talk about the previous ......"

"Wait until I read the above content to the clansmen first, discuss and discuss before making a decision."

"It's fine." Ape Fei Ri Slash stood up, "I'll come again at this time tomorrow." ”

Then he glanced at the mute over there: "Then I'll go first." Don't forget what Tsunade explained to you. ”

Shizune nodded quickly, but her brain was diligently digging through the memories before the fragmentsβ€”

[Tsunade-sama asked me to come along, why did you come?] 】

On the other side, Yoshiyu arrived at Mitarai Azuzu's residence in less than three minutes.

But no matter how much I knocked on the door, no one answered.

He frowned and waited no longer, jumping straight into the fence, not hearing anyone in the room deteriorate.

Then, he looked around and immediately noticed keenly that in front of the dummy in the practice ground in this courtyard, a few shurikens were scattered around, but there was no one in sight.

Among the shoe prints on the sand behind the shuriken, one pair of shoe prints was particularly wide, not much different from the one printed on his family recipe.

[Not good. 】

An ominous premonition clanged in Yi Yong's brain.

He squatted on the ground and reached out to touch the shuriken on the ground, feeling the temperature on them.

Mitarai red beans have just disappeared.

Just before he got here.
