At the end of the sixty-second year of Konoha.

"Tsunade-ma-ma! Hurry up! ”

In the past, when Naruto called her mother-in-law unabashedly, Tsunade's forehead would still stretch out from time to time, but at this moment, when she stood in front of Konoha Village, only one step away from going home, she no longer cared what this little ghost was saying.

Approaching the hometown, it was not until this moment that the familiar and unfamiliar village appeared in front of him, and Tsunade's footsteps unconsciously hesitated.

Naruto didn't know why the person next to him was walking more and more slowly, and at this moment, he couldn't wait to run in and meet those he hadn't seen in a long time, such as his Yuzuru-go, or the stinky Sasuke Ninji.

All he was thinking about now was letting them see the results of their cultivation.

What Sasuke, Ninji, when the time comes, he will definitely be scared by his multiple shadow clones and Spiral Pills, and no one can call himself the tail of the crane!

But when he turned his head and saw the slightly complicated emotions on Tsunade's face, he was a little ghost, and he actually noticed some of the emotions in her heart, and said with a big grin: "Tsunade mother-in-law, hurry up!" I invite you to eat ramen! ”

"Imp, where did you get the money?" Tsunade rolled his eyes, while Naruto smiled: "I haven't gone to Brother Yuzuru to get pocket money in the past few months, so after all, I should have a lot of money with him, and it must be no problem to eat ramen!"

I don't know if there are any new flavors of Ichiraku ramen! ”

The thought of Ichiraku ramen made Naruto's saliva linger, and he couldn't wait to urge him as he pushed her waist behind Tsunade and walked forward.

Tsunade sighed helplessly, and casually pinched his skull and lifted him aside: "Got it!" Can't you be more steady? ”

Naruto smirked, but Tsunade finally took a step, and Jiraiya showed a fatherly smile at the end, but he was glared at by Tsunade fiercely, and turned into an embarrassed laugh: "Before leaving, Lord Godaime said that he was going to build a movie theater in Konoha, and I don't know if it has been built now." ”

"Movies... What's so nice about that thing. Tsunade thought of a movie he had seen outside, and couldn't help but shake his head - a group of people who endured and endured, and even ordinary people made bells and whistles with various special props, a plot that was so boring that it made people doze off.

Only children and ordinary people like this kind of thing, right?

And the picture is also average, sometimes she is dizzy.

Jiraiya shook his head and smiled: "According to the five generations, there are many different types of movies, he once said, even my intimacy... Ahem, it's my strong perseverance and forbearance, which can be remade into a movie. ”

Tsunade looked at him coldly, you just said intimacy, right?

Naruto cheered, "Really? ”

Watching the two discuss the movie without a proper shape, Naruto is also ashamed to want to play the leading role of strong perseverance ninja, and to make his name "Naruto" a household name superstar.

Tsunade shook his head.

It's really not right.

The five generations are not afraid of bringing the child to the ground.

Just like that, the gag, and by the time Tsunade was in good spirits, the group had already passed through the defensive barrier outside Konoha and arrived inside Konoha.

There is no doubt about it.

Just as Terumi was so shocked that she couldn't walk when she first entered Konoha, Rao is a well-informed Tsunade, and at this moment she has to be shocked and amazed by the changes in Konoha.

"What is this!?"

"Where's this?"

"Huh? Can this material be mass-produced? I thought it was a unique retreat...."

"It's so high... What is Konoha doing now building so many high-rise buildings? ”

"How do you think, the people of Konoha have now become... So much!? ”

Tsunade's rare words along the way became more numerous.

And Jiraiya took the trouble to explain to her, and when she encountered something that she didn't know, she could only push it to Hinata Yuzuru and let Tsunade ask him.

Due to the delay on the road for a certain amount of time, it is reasonable that he should go to the Hokage as soon as possible to report, and Jiraiya took the somewhat resistant Tsunade and went to the Hokage Building to report together.

Tsunade hugged his depressed hands in front of him, but he also realized that he probably couldn't hide, anyway, he had already returned to Konoha, so it was better to listen to Hinata's arrangements for himself.

The four of them went straight to the Hokage Building.

Before entering the Hokage Building, Tsunade raised his head and glanced at the Hokage Rock in the distance.

At this time, there were still only four Hokage heads on the Hokage Rock, and she was silent for a moment, then stepped forward and walked in.

When he arrived in the building, Tsunade felt a sense of familiarity that he had not seen for a long time, the layout, the walkways, and the old decoration here still retained the style of a long time ago, and it seemed that the entire brand new Konoha was left untouched only by the Hokage Building.

The dark department is naturally very familiar with these big names with very conspicuous appearances, and if you don't even know the information of who the three shinobi of Konoha are, this dark department will probably be done.

There was no obstruction, and the road was unimpeded, and I arrived in front of Hinata's office.

Tsunade was at the door, and before he could decide whether to knock on the door first or let the shadows make an announcement, Naruto stretched out his fist and slapped the door a few times: "Brother Yuzuru!" I am back!! ”

His voice was audible throughout the hallway.

Hinata's laughter rang out from inside the door: "Come in." ”

Naruto pushed the door open and rushed in three or two steps: "Brother Yuzuru!" ”

Hinata Yuzuru looked at him with a smile on the corner of his mouth, after a period of going out to practice, even if he still looks like a little ghost, but from the look, expression, eyes and other details, he can still see at a glance that his whole temperament has been very different.

Whether a person is mature or not, as expected, has nothing to do with age.

Only more experiences can make people grow.

"Looks like you've grown a little taller?" Hinata didn't get up, just looked at him with a smile, watching Naruto arrogantly cross his waist and laugh at him.

It was nothing more than the successful completion of the task of bringing Tsunade back, and the successful cultivation of the Spiral Pill and the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.

Well, there's a bit of tedious, like picking up a bunch of wandering ninjas on the road and helping some poor people do something good.

Hinata Yuzuru rested one hand on the side of his face, and watched him talk about his experience for a year with a smile, during which Jiraiya, who was just smiling wryly behind him, still a little arrogant and not looking at his Tsunade, and blinked apologetically mute, signaling them to wait for a while.

It wasn't until Naruto had been talking for a long time that he stopped unexpectedly, and suddenly said, "But... Brother Yuzuru, that..."

Hinata Yuzuru raised her eyebrows: "What's wrong?" ”

"Can you change the reward that you said was good?" Naruto said hesitantly.

Hinata had already forgotten what reward he had promised Naruto.

"What do you want?" He asked curiously.

Naruto glanced at Tsunade beside him, leaned over to him, and whispered, "Granny Tsunade if she really doesn't want to be a ninja... Can you..."

He didn't say a word, but he was hit on the head by Hinata Yuzuru and retracted his head.

Hinata Yuzuru reached out and rubbed his ears angrily, and was tickled by the heat when he spoke just now: "I know... Where did you need to remind me. ”

Naruto just smirked, and Tsunade heard the words and glanced at him silently.

"It's hard to get back to Konoha after a long journey away, so it's better to wait until you're resting well.

Jiraiya seniors, you can also take Tsunade seniors for a good turn, take this one. ”

He reached under his desk and pulled out a booklet.

Jiraiya took a look and subconsciously pronounced out the name: "Konoha Sightseeing Manual?" What does that mean? Will Konoha be fully open in the future? ”

"Pretty much."

Hinata Yuzuru smiled and said: "Business cannot develop well only by relying on the people in the village, and only by opening up completely can the village's economy reach a higher level, of course, this moment does not refer to the present."

The main purpose of this booklet is to make a guide for friends who have just come to Konoha.

The envoy sent by Wuyin Village made me think of this stubble.

This booklet is also a preliminary edition, introducing Konoha food, scenery, fun things to do, and a brief description of some areas under construction.

It is also to prepare for the subsequent investment promotion. ”

Hinata didn't say much, but a few words had already made Jiraiya aware of the drastic reforms he was about to make to Konoha.

In the face of Konoha who may grow rapidly in the future, he feels good, but he feels a little bad, he can't tell the reason, but he subconsciously frowns slightly, and quietly flips through the booklet.

"In the next ten years, Konoha is a place that is destined to be strange to everyone.

However, the times still have to move forward after all.

We can't stop at this moment. ”

Hinata Yuzuru's soft words made Jilai also understand where the little meaning that had just emerged in his heart came from, he hooked the corners of his mouth, and sighed with a smile, but he was also a little lonely.

"Yes, people can't stop in the past forever."

After he finished speaking, he also glanced at Tsunade.

provoked her to clench her fists, and he hurriedly looked serious: "Since Lord Godaime said so, then I'll take Tsunade to take a good walk around Konoha." ”

Who wants you to bring it!

Tsunade was depressed, but she couldn't show it, although she didn't want to admit it, but the battle between Hinata Yuzuru and the first, second, and third generations of Kazekage that day still made her feel deeply shocked, and she was in awe of the young Hokage today more than Jiraiya.

Perhaps part of this awe comes from a weak heart - no matter what, some of her actions are a bit betrayed of her ninja identity, even if the other party blames her for this, she can probably only obediently admit her mistakes.

Of course, if the five generations in front of her are replaced by three generations, she will probably roll her eyes and love it.

"Tsunade-senpai's residence hasn't changed, and I don't have any work here for the time being. It's just that, if you're interested, I still hope that Tsunade-senpai will take the time to learn about the many new types of work in Konoha right now.

Even if you don't want to become a ninja, you can contribute to other departments of Konoha if you can.

However, if Tsunade Senpai has made up his mind and wants to retire, he still has to go through the proper process. ”

After Hinata Yuzuru finished speaking, he took out a form that had been prepared for a long time.

It was handed to Tsunade.

Tsunade picked it up and looked at it, his expression inexplicable.

"This is Konoha's new retirement process, and after filling out the form, you will be given retirement benefits that match the contribution level based on your contribution to Konoha before retirement.

This includes monthly pensions, medical insurance, and more.

With the contribution of Tsunade's predecessors to Konoha, it is enough to enjoy the ninth-level retirement treatment. ”

Tsunade was silent.

And Hinata Yuzuru still said: "Of course, at that time, the ninja establishment will also be canceled and the status of Konoha citizens will be restored, the purpose of these is to allow retired ninjas to better enjoy their retirement life, and they do not need to be temporarily conscripted in wartime because they are still in the establishment." ”

"Goyome," Jiraiya said with a slightly uneasy expression.

Hinata Yuzuru just looked at Tsunade and said with a calm expression: "Tsunade senior, frankly speaking, the knowledge and abilities you have mastered are very important to the current Konoha.

But I don't want to force you to do something against your personal wishes.

Therefore, seniors don't need to be in a hurry at all, you can take a good rest for a while, think about it, and take a good look.

Even if you don't become a ninja and don't set foot on the battlefield, you can still contribute to Konoha .

What's more..."

He smiled and said to Tsunade, "In my eyes, Tsunade's predecessor is not a powerful woman who will never recover. ”

Tsunade sighed and put the retirement application form on the table, not wanting to take it, but said, "I'll think about it, but I'm not sure if my phobia has been cured, or if it can be cured."

When I see blood, I feel weak and my mind is blank, and I am no longer capable of some critical tasks. ”

"But what I've seen is a Tsunade senior who is still able to stand in front of Naruto and protect him from fighting under the siege of several former Hokages." Hinata Yuzuru smiled gently: "Perhaps, the so-called hemophobia has been cured at that moment.

Of course, what kind of job to choose, or to give up the identity of a ninja, this is the freedom of the predecessors, or that sentence, I will never be strong. ”

Tsunade nodded silently and didn't respond, while Jiraiya came out at the right time to gag.

After a burst of laughter, he left the office with Tsunade and Naruto.

Naruto couldn't wait to say, "Jiraiya-sensei, can I go and play with my friends?" ”

Zilai also knew in his heart that he wanted to play with his friends, and he clearly wanted to show off his spiral pill and shadow clone, which surprised the group of friends.

Especially the little guy named Sasuke Uchiha that he often talked about—I hope he doesn't get hit by Naruto.

Tsunade snorted, "Didn't you say you wanted to invite me to ramen?" ”

"Ahh Oh, yes... Let's go first!? By the way, I forgot to ask Brother Yuzuru for pocket money. ”

Before Naruto could finish speaking, he was pulled by Jiraiya's clothes on the back of his neck.

Jiraiya didn't say a word, and took out a few coins from his wallet: "Take the flowers, don't always trouble Hokage-sama, and you don't need to invite you to dinner, you can go and play with friends." ”

Take Tsunade around Konoha well... Isn't that the equivalent of dating!?

A little bit of eyesight, Naruto!

Naruto seemed to read his mind, first stunned, then smiled, looked at the coin in his hand, shook his head, and looked at Jiraiya without saying a word.

Jiraiya took out a few pieces of paper and pen with a blank face and put them in Naruto's hand, "Is it enough?" Naruto!? ”

Naruto reluctantly nodded, "Well, okay, I'm going to play with my friends!" ”

He let out a weird smile at Tsunade and Jiraiya, until Jiraiya laughed out loud in embarrassment, his eyes looked like he wanted a knife, and Tsunade stared at the distance with a rare unnatural stare that Naruto ran away happily.

Shizune covered her mouth and chuckled, hugging the little pig: "Tsunade-sama, I haven't been back for a long time, I also want to meet my friends, and besides, I'm afraid the house hasn't been cleaned for a long time, I'll go clean up first, and Tsunade-sama and Jiraiya-sama will have a good walk in Konoha first." ”

"Really, whatever you want!" Tsunade walked out on his own, and Jiraiya cast a grateful look at Shizune, and then chased after him with a smile.

Looking at the backs of the two, Mute shook his head.

Actually, Jiraiya-sama is a good guy, but... It's too cowardly.

I don't know when I'll see him muster up the courage to face his heart.

But soon, Shizune sighed - what are they bothering about?

I haven't landed yet!

As soon as I thought that my youth was constantly working with Tsunade to pay off money, collect debts, and owe debts, I couldn't help but feel a faint bitterness - why didn't anyone like me?

She sighed, hugged the piglet, and wandered around Konoha.

I don't know if those old friends are not at home.

Anyway, Konoha has become so much...

She got lost in the bustling streets of Konoha, and soon, she was driven away by a lot of new and interesting things, and the boredom of the 'leftover girl' in her heart was driven away, and she went shopping happily.

After Jiraiya-sama took on Tsunade-sama's debts, Shizune finally had a little savings of her own.

If you don't buy it now, when will you wait?

Konoha's finances are still thriving today.

.....

"Sasuke! Sasuke! ”

Outside the Uchiha clan, Naruto's big grin shouted sounded.

But it's weird, and it took a long time before someone answered.

An Uchiha ninja poked his head out of the door of the clan with an indifferent expression, looked at Naruto, subconsciously looked at him, and then, looked at him thoughtfully: "What's the matter?" ”

"I want to find Sasuke!"

Naruto subconsciously tensed up a little, this strange feeling, he had felt outside the village... Dangerous!?

His brow furrowed slightly, but he quickly relaxed—it was an illusion.

The Uchiha replied faintly, telling him to wait.

He walked through the corridors of the clan and found Sasuke Uchiha, who was practicing at home, and informed him of Naruto Uzumaki's arrival.

It's the winter vacation at the moment, and Konoha's winter vacation is from the end of December to the end of January, which is basically the New Year's time to free up for the children to rest.

Uchiha Sasuke was a little surprised, he didn't expect Naruto Uzumaki to suddenly appear and come to him.

The two have always been a little bit against each other in the class - hmph, mainly this crane tail, and they have always been unconvinced of their excellence.

Sasuke walked out of the training ground at home and subconsciously looked around, the Uchiha clan, which had always been quite lively, seemed to be getting quieter and quieter recently.

He turned his head to look left and right, but he didn't know where the problem was, and wanted to talk to his father and Itachi, but he couldn't find anyone.

"Strange, didn't you say yes today, and rest at home?"

Sasuke couldn't figure out where they had suddenly disappeared into the house, but he didn't think much of it, at the moment, he only cared about Naruto.

This guy said before that he was going out to practice, and he must have learned something powerful, so he wanted to come to me to show off.

Hmph, then he thinks too well!

I've never slacked off!

He walked briskly out of the family.

When he saw Naruto, he put on an arrogant and arrogant expression: "What's the matter, you have to look for me?" ”

"Of course, it's for you to see the results of Uncle Ben's cultivation!" Naruto grinned and reached out to his chest, "Sasuke! I..."

He just wanted to say that he would come to fight now, but then he thought of something, showed a strange hehe laugh, and changed his words: "When school starts, you must be beaten by me!" ”

No, now that I've won Sasuke, isn't it just me who knows? If you get hurt, it's easy to have problems.

Gotta stay until school starts!

Under the gaze of the whole class, beat him up and let him see that I was not the tail of a crane.

I! But the next Hokage seed personally recognized by the fifth Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki is also!

At the thought of Sakura-chan, Ino, and Hinata looking at him with adoration on their faces, Naruto couldn't help but smile that made Sasuke shiver.

"Sick." Sasuke rolled his eyes, "If it's okay, I'll go back." ”

He had thought Naruto had something else to say.

But he didn't expect Naruto to nod, turned around and hugged the back of his head with a big grin and left: "Then we'll see you at school." ”

Sick you!?

Sasuke didn't expect him to really leave like this, his teeth itched with anger, I thought you were planning to play with me... Phew, what about the competition, the result is to say such a nonsense, delayed time?

The crane tail is the crane tail! Bad luck!

You must beat him up at the beginning of school!

Sasuke turned back to the house with a cold face.

However, walking in the family, he couldn't help frowning.

There are so few people.

Bright morning, there are still a lot of people in the family... Moreover, they should all be in the process of compensating for the holiday.

Could it be that there is an urgent mission to be dispatched all of a sudden?

Sasuke hesitated, suddenly thought of something, and subconsciously took a step, wanting to check somewhere, but after a moment of silence, he didn't do anything, but looked into the distance with complicated eyes, and after retracting his gaze, he went to the training ground alone.

And at this moment, within the Uchiha clan.

In the dark underground conference room, more than a dozen Uchiha clansmen sat in an orderly manner, and their faces all had fanatical expressions that could not be concealed.

Uchiha Fugaku sat in the first seat, his expression calm, and beside him, there was an old man who looked very old, with white hair and hair, wearing a kimono that was so simple that it was a little old, only the Uchiha's family crest looked very clean.

"Patriarch Fuyue, it's time."

With only a deep voice, the elder raised the already high atmosphere in the conference room as if adding fuel to the fire.

Uchiha Fugaku was silent and looked around with his gaze, and finally, on Itachi, who was just sitting in the corner with an expressionless face, he paused for a moment and turned his head.

"Ladies and gentlemen... Already decided? ”

He made a final question.

Elder Uchiha just smiled coldly: "Patriarch Fugaku, at this time, why be indecisive. ”

Oh, yes...

Uchiha Fugaku closed his eyes slightly.

When did you get this ambition?

Did the Uchiha clan be driven to this remote corner by Konoha?

Or did it start with the confession I received from the group?

Or is it... Before all this happens?

He couldn't tell when he was the way he was.

Every time this kind of moment, he can't help but feel some hesitation in his heart, where does this hesitation come from?

Uchiha Fugaku is hard to tell.

However, when he opened his eyes and looked at the expectant Uchiha people in the conference room, a power emerged from his heart, dispelling his anxiety and confusion, leaving only his ambition.

Become the Hokage...

But something that even Madara Uchiha hadn't done!

If it can be successful...

He opened his mouth, and unexpectedly found that his voice was a little hoarse: "Are you all clear about the news from Tuanzang?" ”

"Of course, Patriarch Fugaku."

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

Uchiha Fugaku looked at the words spoken by his subordinates and nodded slowly: "Then, let's implement it as planned." ”

Seeing that Uchiha Fuyue finally made a decision, the Uchiha elites in the conference room all smiled, and the elder sitting next to him, Uchiha Yan only bowed slightly: "There is no turning back arrow when you open the bow, this matter, we must be hidden enough, wait until the signal from the other side of the group appears... That's when we get started.

If the Tuan Zang side is not effective, we will stop the operation and look for another opportunity, so don't show the news, and don't let the blood go up and miss the big thing! ”

"Yes!"

The elites of the Uchiha clan took orders one after another and began to act according to the original plan.

The Uchiha Itachi, who was sitting in the corner, just got up slowly, and it seemed that his expression had not changed much, as if it was out of place with the atmosphere of this meeting.

"Itachi, your security department is a top priority, Konoha has sent a lot of people in recently, you have to make sure they don't make mistakes."

Uchiha Fugaku ordered sternly.

Uchiha Itachi just raised his eyes and looked at him calmly, "I know, father. ”

“... Never mind. ”

Uchiha Fugaku seemed to want to say something, but in the end he just turned his head away from him, and his voice was low: "Itachi, remember your identity." ”

"I know, father." Uchiha Itachi nodded lightly, and said in a tone without wavering, "I know who I am." ”

"That's good."

Uchiha Fugaku said indifferently: "Don't let emotions sway your decision... I believe in you, Itachi. ”

"Yes." Itachi Uchiha lowered his eyes and turned to leave.

Elder Uchiha looked at the conversation between the two expressionlessly, and waited until Itachi left, before he suddenly said, "Are you really relieved of him?" ”

"He's my son." Uchiha Fugaku frowned slightly, looked at Elder Uchiha beside him, and his voice became serious: "If even he can't be trusted... Who else can I trust? ”

"I always feel like... Weasel... Forget it, nothing. The Uchiha didn't say much, just stood up with his crutches, hunched over, and walked out slowly.

"Patriarch Fugaku, even if I am extremely looking forward to the day when our Uchiha clan will be able to reach the top of Konoha , but don't underestimate Hinata Yuzuru, and don't underestimate the old guy who is now living in the Sarufei clan.

I don't know why you're so sure, but since your choice is in line with everyone's wishes, don't let them down.

I don't know if I can clear the way for you, this old bone...

This time, I need to figure out what I really want..."

Uchiha Fugaku got up and watched the elder leave, not saying a word until he was far away, then he reached out and gently stroked his eyes.

Grasp...

He tilted his head, his expression a little intriguing, and muttered in a low voice, "Hinata Yuzuru... Is it? ”

After a long time, Uchiha Fugaku also left the conference room underground.

In the shadows, a puff of green smoke flew up and turned into a human form in the enclosed basement.

Ibrysuki, who looked calm, thought for a moment, turned into a wisp of smoke again, disappeared through the ventilation facilities, and turned into a human form outside the Uchiha clan, leaping forward, heading straight for the Hokage's office.

At the same time, outside the basement, a crow was strangely quiet on a tree branch, and after a long time, traces of the writing wheel eye appeared, canceling the channeling and turning into smoke.

At this moment, the Uchiha Shisui, who was already in the Uchiha clan and was driven to live in a remote corner, slowly opened his eyes in the room.

He was silent and sat in his room.

On the coffee table, only a knife is laid flat here.

In the end, still nothing has been done?

The Uchiha stopped the water without saying a word, and after a long time, he just breathed a sigh of relief, gently picked up the sword, and carefully wiped it for a long time before returning it to the scabbard and throwing it on the table, not wearing it.

He got up, took a step, and headed straight for Uchiha Fugaku's mansion.

On the way, he happened to collide with Itachi Uchiha, who had just returned home from a meeting.

The two met on the road, but they just nodded indifferently to each other, not even a simple hello.

Uchiha Itachi walked back to his house, and Uchiha Shisui was hindered by etiquette, waiting at the door for a while, and after a while, Uchiha Fugaku also returned to the door, and when he saw Shisui, he was not surprised at all, but his eyes were cold.

"Stop the water, what's the matter?"

Uchiha Shisui looked at him quietly: "Patriarch Fugaku, during this time, I want to rest at home for a while. ”

"You should go to the Hokage for leave." He seemed to have a cold attitude.

And Uchiha Shisui still said calmly: "I'll go and say it myself over there, but, as far as I know, many ninjas in the family have been sent out in the name of the family recently, and even dragged the family with them... It is said that some of the industries in the Fire Nation need more manpower to operate? ”

"You are meticulous in your observations, and you deserve to be the head of the dark department who is deeply trusted by the five generations." Uchiha Fugaku smiled faintly, he turned his head, looked at Uchiha Shisui, and just said: "I don't have the ability and authority to let you leave Konoha, if you want to rest at home, just rest." ”

He went straight into the house, and didn't mean to say anything to him.

Uchiha Shisui stood at the door for a long time, lowered his head, and his face was a little embarrassed.

It is impossible for Uchiha Fugaku not to know his abilities - in fact, when he awakened the kaleidoscope, he told Uchiha Fugaku about his abilities as if he had nothing to do, and at that time he was out of anxiety and confusion, hoping that the patriarch would explain the change in his eyes and give him some direction.

Although he couldn't tell it all, the fact that his writing wheel eye had a powerful illusion ability, Uchiha Fugaku was still clear.

He's so calm...

Uchiha Shisui held back his uneasiness, closed his eyes, felt the abundant pupil power in his pupils, and his heart was ruthless.

No matter what your eyes are capable of...

Under the power of other gods, they will all come to naught!

He turned away in silence, determined that from this day forward, he would not leave the clan land.

He's going to personally spy on the Uchiha clan and if they really make a decision, they're going to take that step.

Let yourself stop it all!

Izumi and Itachi are right.

There's no way to expect anyone anymore.

On the way home, he saw many Uchiha people who didn't deal with him, and those Uchiha people looked at him indifferently, and even had a faint disgust and disgust.

In their eyes, I guess I'm a traitor to the Uchiha clan.

He sneered helplessly and absurdly in his heart, but because of this, his determination was even stronger.

Weasel... Yuzuru...

I'll prove it to you...

He returned to his room.

At the same time, Uchiha Itachi also found his younger brother who still seems to be unhappy now, Uchiha Sasuke, in the training ground.

Itachi looked as calm as ever, and his poker face hadn't changed much even when he saw Sasuke at this moment.

"You have to work harder, with the mentality of killing the other party, and throw kunai."

He reminded him loudly, and Uchiha Sasuke raised his head unhappily: "Brother, where did you go just now?" ”

"Meeting."

He said simply.

Uchiha Sasuke stopped talking, and finally, looked around, and said in a low voice, "At home, what's wrong?" ”

Despite his young age, Sasuke wasn't a fool, and even if he rarely paid attention to anyone else, most people would smile when they saw him because of who he was, but he could still feel that just recently, a lot had changed in the clan.

Everyone seems to be very... Excited.

And this excitement made Sasuke Uchiha vaguely uneasy.

Uchiha Itachi was a little surprised that he could feel these subtle changes, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly with relief, but the smile only flickered.

He reached out and gently touched Sasuke's head, "Nothing." ”

"I'm annoyed!" Sasuke angrily shook off his hand, raised kunai, and said loudly, "Daddy too, you too, treat me like a child."

What the hell are you trying to do!? ”

He threw kunai violently.

Uchiha Itachi just moved calmly, stretched out his fingers, and accurately passed through the iron ring behind Kunai in the air, shook it, and held it in his hand.

"Impotent anger is pointless, Sasuke."

"Fire Escape, Phoenix Immortal Fire Technique!"

Sasuke was angry, and without saying a word, he launched an attack on his brother.

The fireball swirled out in the training ground, and the Uchiha Itachi only had the outline of the three-hooked jade in his eyes, and the next moment, Uchiha Sasuke felt that the sky was spinning, as if a supernatural beast had swallowed itself into his belly, and he let out a loud cry of horror, and when he came back to his senses, he was already lying on the ground.

Magic!

Uchiha Sasuke gasped, gritted his teeth, got up, and charged at the Uchiha Itachi in the distance.

With fists and feet intersecting and making a solid muscle collision sound, Uchiha Itachi calmly greeted his attack, still having time to comment on his moves.

And this made Uchiha Sasuke even more annoyed, and his moves were even more messy.

"Smack."

A finger, with a slight force, flicked on his head, and at the same time, Itachi stumbled with skill, and Sasuke sat on the ground with his ass.

Sasuke pursed his lips tightly and sat on the ground without getting up.

Until a finger, lightly on his forehead a little.

"Stupid... What's so bad about being a child? ”

Itachi's gentle voice made the grievances in his heart unbearable.

Sasuke held back tears: "I..."

"Don't be afraid."

Itachi, however, knew the deepest feelings of his heart like an uncertain prophet.

Sasuke opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, but Itachi gently stroked his hair, "No matter what, I'll be by your side, Sasuke..."

Sasuke Uchiha felt the temperature of his brother's palm, lowered his head, and said nothing.

The Uchiha Itachi pulled him up, patiently patted the dust off his body, and then whispered, "Sasuke, what is your dream?" ”

Uchiha Sasuke was stunned for a moment, and then said loudly: "I, I want to be a powerful ninja like my brother!" ”

The Uchiha Itachi shook his head and just chuckled, "But I... Actually, it's very weak. ”

Sasuke Uchiha was in disbelief.

But Uchiha Itachi only continued softly, "You know, since the first time I met the current Goyome Hokage, I haven't won against each other once..."

Sasuke Uchiha looked at him incredulously: "How is it possible..."

In his heart, his brother is the most powerful, and if he doesn't have one, how can he not win against Hinata Yuzuru once?

Uchiha Itachi looked him in the eye and recounted his past with Hinata Yuzuru in a gentle and calm voice.

"At the beginning, I could barely fight him back and forth, although I was inferior in hand-to-hand physical combat, and I could see the opportunity to win, but unfortunately, I didn't grasp those opportunities once, or rather, Yuzuru did better than me.

After that, I could hardly see any hope of overcoming him.

It wasn't until he joined the shadows when I was still in the ninja school and fought side by side with the seniors of Shisui that I knew that in this life, I might only be able to watch his back. ”

Sasuke Uchiha listened in amazement as Uchiha Itachi began to count Hinata's accomplishments.

The youngest ninja school sixth grader in history, the youngest dark middle ninja, the youngest upper ninja, the youngest upper ninja...

The youngest Hokage.

One by one, the achievements that almost made Sasuke feel incredible were said by Uchiha Itachi, even Sasuke, after listening to all this, vaguely felt that comparing his brother with the other party seemed to be a little too embarrassing for his own brother.

"So, what is your dream?"

Uchiha Itachi asked again.

Sasuke hesitated for a moment, but this time he couldn't speak.

Become a strong man like your brother?

But he said that he was not strong.

So what exactly is your desire?

Powerful?

It's better to say...

"I want to be a good ninja like my brother."

He whispered again.

Itachi, on the other hand, asked, "What makes a good ninja?" ”

Sasuke was speechless.

He hoped that he could become a calm, unhurried, and powerful ninja like Itachi, but now, he didn't seem to know how to be like his brother at all.

"This is it, Sasuke."

Itachi Uchiha held out his finger and tapped it lightly on his heart.

"In this world, there is only one kind of truly powerful ninja - that is, a ninja who has his own beliefs, and is unwavering in them, and persistently walks on the path of chasing his beliefs.

If you want to be like me... So, you need to first find out, deep down, what are the most important beliefs. ”

Uchiha Sasuke was silent, as if he had thought a lot, but in the end, he raised his head: "Brother, what is your belief?" ”

Uchiha Itachi just looked at him for a long time before he smiled: "My faith?" ”

He pondered for a moment, took out a booklet from his bosom, stared at it for a long time, and put it away for the time being.

"Here."

He pointed to the pamphlet that he had placed in his breast pocket, and he didn't know if he was referring to this pamphlet, or the heart in his chest after this booklet.

Uchiha Itachi Sasuke only caught a glimpse of it, and all he could see was the four words of the Will of Fire.

It seems to be a pamphlet that the teachers of the ninja school also carry with them.

Will of Fire?

Sasuke didn't know why the Uchiha Itachi withdrew his hand and wouldn't show it to him, but for the first time, he became interested in the booklet.

"I see... I'll go and look for it. ”

After Sasuke Uchiha finished speaking, he walked outside the house.

After a few steps, he turned back and spread his hands.

"Brother, give me some money."

Uchiha Itachi was never stingy, and took out a small stack from his wallet and gave it to him, but he was curious: "Are you going to buy something?" ”

"I remember, Konoha bookstore also has your booklet.

If you don't show it to me, I'll just buy it myself. ”

With that, he ran out of the training ground.

Uchiha Itachi just stared at his back for a long time, smiling slightly.
