"Jiraiya-sama, which side do you think I am?"

The words spoken by the young man of the Uchiha clan in front of him made Tokuji scratch his head again.

"Cunning little ghost, you're really good at throwing questions back."

Seiichi laughed: "I didn't throw it back, but even if I give a clear answer, it can't be the real answer in the heart of Lord Jiraiya, right?" ”

"I'm the 'Uchiha imp who is a very good liar' in your heart."

Jiraiya sighed slightly and stopped continuing the topic.

"What an uncute little ghost."

Seiichi is also very interested in keeping up with the pace.

But before knocking on the door, he said with some abruptness:

"Speaking of the Lord, is Aunt Jiushina's cooking delicious?"

Zilai also glanced sideways slightly, and said seriously: "Before you enter the house, you'd better get rid of the habit of this title, girls who haven't given birth to children yet, but they care about this kind of thing very much." ”

"Rice. It's delicious. Anyway, I can't taste anything after a few rounds of wine. ”

Jiraiya speaks very tactfully.

Alas. Just know.

He, Seiichi Uchiha, refused to come over with a delicious meal

But thinking about it, just by looking at the difference in temperament between Kushina and Mai Trin, you can guess who cooks better, and you shouldn't expect anything from this kind of thing.

Jiraiya pushed open the door that was unfamiliar to Seiichi.

"Yo Watergate, I brought this kid here."

Seiichi glanced at the number of people in the room slightly, and sure enough, it was about the same as he guessed.

Kakashi was sitting on the side of the water gate as if to report something, and the shoes on the hallway indicated that Rin should be helping out in the kitchen at the moment.

Originally, Obito should have been there, but unfortunately he invited him, but he missed his grandmother very much, and it was really hard to force it.

Shuimen turned his head sideways to look at the visitors at home, and first nodded slightly to Jiraiya.

"Thank you for your hard work, teacher."

"Haha, what's so hard about this, you can have a free meal with an errand, such a simple task will not refuse even if there are many old men."

The handsome golden retriever didn't say much, and he also knew that it was a great blessing for Mr. Jiraiya to continue to support him like this.

"And. Good evening, Makoichi-kun. ”

"Good evening, Lord Watergate." Seiichi also behaved extremely politely.

He is also the child of the upper ninjas of the Uchiha clan.

Although the education of etiquette literacy is not as good as that of the Hyuga family, who still follow the patriarchal system, they have also been taught since childhood.

The smile on the face of the water gate was as kind as ever, but it seemed to be a little exhausted and weak.

It seems that this period of time has not been particularly easy for this golden flash.

After all, there are no competent subordinates to help him do things, and he has to handle almost everything.

At present, there are 'willingness' to do their best to assist him, and they are still some of Konoha's 'new generation of talents'.

This is the after-effect of the 'violent' handover, and I am afraid that this kind of life will continue for a long time before cultivating one's own cronies.

Seiichi is barely half of the supernumerary members of the Watergate forces.

is really reliable, there is really only one master Jiraiya, and an apprentice Kakashi.

And no matter how good Kakashi is, it's only in the sense of being a 'ninja'.

In many things, he is still a complete novice like his teacher of the 'rookie Hokage'.

Others. It's a little more unreliable.

"Huh? Is that Seiichi-kun here? Show me! I'll leave it to you first! ”

"Huh?! Wait, Sister Kushina? I'm still frying eggs here."

"It's okay, it's okay, just help watch the fire!"

"Huh?!"

There was a chaotic sound from the kitchen.

A long bright red hair came into view, and Seiichi leaned over slightly: "Hello first meeting, Uzumaki Kushina. Senpai, my name is Makoto Uchiha."

"Ah, it turns out that you are the Seiichi in the mouths of Mizuto and Maikoto!"

Before Cheng could finish speaking, the woman with thick branches and leaves actually grabbed his head and twisted his cheek vigorously.

She glanced at Makoto as if she was extremely curious, and was extremely interested in this young man who was so good in the mouth of his friends and husband that he couldn't be more than good.

"Oh, I didn't even notice it in a blink of an eye, but I was unexpectedly cute."

Seiichi: "."

Isn't it why?

Is this a search plus test?

If not

Now it's confirmed where Naruto's straight-ball robot's temperament came from.

Shuimen was a little embarrassed: "Well, Ma Ma Jiu Sinai, let Cheng finish his words. You should have something to tell me, Seiichi-kun? ”

"Yes"

Hearing this, Jiu Sinai suddenly glanced back at the water gate, not knowing what it meant.

Watergate is also a bad feeling.

"I forgot not to mention the water gate, Cheng Yijun, you are now the dark part of the water gate? It's amazing, it looks like it's still a child. ”

"But be careful, the work of the shadows is not that easy, Kakashi you have to listen to it too, you know?"

"Yes, Mrs. Kushina, Kakashi takes it to heart." Kakashi was still dragging the dead fish eye, but he still answered Kushina's concerns honestly.

At this time, after taking a sip of wine, Jilai also picked up the appetizers that were already on the table, and at the same time turned back and said: "Jiu Xinnai, if you are worried about this kid's strength, the old man can guarantee it." ”

"Hmph, Mr. Jiraiya, shouldn't you worry about anything else?"

"Hmm"

Zilai didn't speak anymore, and looked at the water gate with some helplessness.

"Sister Jiu Sinai, come back quickly! It's time to get out on both sides! What am I going to do! ”

"Coming, sorry Lynn."

Seiichi was finally able to sit down.

As if relieved, he gave Kakashi a 'what a terrible woman' look.

Kakashi closed his eyes slightly and didn't retort.

This open eye contact naturally can't escape the observation of the two old fritter ninjas on the table.

Mizumon's home wasn't too big, with a long dining table, and at the moment Mizuto and Kakashi were sitting facing the window, and they were sitting in a corner facing the kitchen and sipping a drink.

The corner closer to the kitchen and the water gate is empty at the moment, obviously the location of Jiushinai.

Seiichi, on the other hand, sat across from Kakashi.

"Cheng Yijun, how are you doing lately?"

Watergate provoked the conversation, but it seemed to ask casually.

Cheng nodded: "Eh, except for a trip back to the clan land with my clan brother this afternoon, it's the same as before, nothing very surprising." ”

Jiraiya was silent, and Kakashi tried to speak, but he endured it.

Shuimen picked up the kettle and refilled a glass of ice water for Chengyi and continued: "So, Chengyi-kun, don't you have any plans to move back to the clan land?" I think the misunderstanding on your side will be solved soon. ”

Makoto nodded and took a sip of cold water.

"No, I don't plan to move back to the clan land, anyway, I moved back, and I am still alone at home."

"It's good now, not to mention that Aunt Liye already has a baby, and I want to hug that child more."

For some reason, there was a sudden 'pop' sound in the kitchen, and Shuimen's subconscious head sank, as if he was dodging something.

Seiichi provoked a meaningful smile on his face.

"Compared to me, Lord Watergate, you don't look very good, are you a little too busy lately?"

Jiu Sinai hinted a few times before, if it is exchanged for someone else. Seiichi may also think that this person is actually not as simple-minded as in the original book.

And after this temptation, Seiichi understood where Kushina's somewhat imminent 'motherhood' came from.

I'm afraid that so many 'babies' poured into the house together, making her feel more and more unbalanced, right?

Ho ho ho ho. Poor Watergate.

Where is your place of refuge now?

Watergate looked slightly embarrassed and continued:

"Eh, a lot of things that have been left over lately are really tricky. But neither you nor Kakashi are suitable for these things. ”

It's clear.

This is in the hint. Shall I not meddle in these matters?

But also, in addition to Mizuto and Orochimaru, Uchiha Seiichi is probably just a sharp knife in the hearts of Konoha upper ninjas.

Being a part of it all in person can be uncomfortable.

To give an example, it is also very simple, a 'Jinyiwei' who entered the public eye by liquidating the 'former prime minister' has to talk to the ministers alone

I'm afraid that in the hearts of the ministers, they will only think that it is a plague god who comes to the door instead of talking about things.

Therefore, Seiichi turned his head and said casually:

"Speaking of which, Mr. Orochi, I haven't seen him in a while."

Speaking of Orochimaru, Jiraiya, who had been watching from the sidelines, frowned slightly.

"That guy. It's better for you to pay more attention to Watergate, although I also think he's actually a good guy, but he. After all, some not-so-good things have been done. ”

Even if he is a good friend of the old man, I can't say that I dare to vouch for him."

Ooh. This is somewhat surprising information.

It seems that the experiment of creating a wooden ninja jointly ordered by the three generations and Danzo did not hide it.

The experiments that Orochimaru had done on the surface, although they occasionally made people feel creepy, did not make this best friend issue such a warning.

It must be a matter of human life.

About Orochimaru's experiments on immortal arts, and even the reincarnation of the soil. Zilai shouldn't have discovered it yet, otherwise in the original book, how dare he swagger away from Konoha.

If only I found it now. It's long overdue to sit still.

Watergate apparently didn't take the teacher's words as a deaf ear, and he nodded deeply.

"So, I also hope that I hope Seiichi, you can go and coordinate with your teacher Orochimaru, the darkness of the root organization has just been liberated I can't indulge, and Konoha breeds darkness again under his own leadership."

Do you let your disciples supervise your own teachers?

Well.

This is somewhat of a warning.

After all, it would be good to let Orochimaru become the new leader of the roots, and it would be good to reform and reorganize the root organization

In this regard, Seiichi and Orochimaru are standing together.

Whether it's the study of white absolute and intercolumnar cells, or finding a way to counter the side effects of Kaleidoscope Sharingan, or Seiichi's selfishness.

As a result, he had to lean towards Orochimaru at that time.

That's why Watergate uses this way to test itself.

Faced with this seemingly unofficial task.

Although Seiichi didn't get up, he still nodded solemnly and said, "Konoha Shadow Uchiha Seiichi, I have taken over this task of Lord Watergate accurately." ”

After receiving such an answer, the smile on Watergate's face finally relaxed a little.

At the boy's request, whether it was the identity he was given to be called the 'Special Operations Shadow Division', or the power of the 'new Root Leader' Orochimaru.

All of this makes Watergate faintly uneasy.

Digging out the abscess of the old roots, and excluding the interference of the old forces led by the three generations, is undoubtedly good news for Konoha.

But in order to achieve this goal, the price

It also gave considerable power to the so-called two 'companions' of the same ship.

Even. Watergate can be said to be forced to participate in this struggle for power, how can it be safe.

The first accident was so unexpected that it couldn't be an unexpected meeting, and Cheng Yiyi said wildly

I just want you to be silent. ’

Watergate finally fully comprehended the energy contained in this sentence.

So. He simply couldn't be silent.

He had to stand up and ask and even question what this Uchiha boy and the elder Orochimaru were trying to achieve.

And now.

Seiichi Uchiha still took on this task as a subordinate.

At the very least, it can be confirmed that he is not completely on the side of Orochimaru.

The worries in Watergate's heart can finally be released a little.

Seiichi looked at this 'rookie Hokage' meaningfully.

The words at the table of this 'banquet', which has not officially begun, seem to be very ordinary greetings and worries on the surface.

But under this table, the temptation of Watergate has come several times from the shadows.

The level is much higher than that of Fugaku!

Seiichi took the initiative to say that he did not move back to the Uchiha clan, expressing that he did not want to stand with the Uchiha completely.

And the topic of Orochimaru, which seems to be casually brought up, is also guiding Jiraiya and Mizumon into the worry about the 'new roots'.

It's time to take over the task of monitoring Orochimaru so that he doesn't act too indulgently. It's Seiichi telling Watergate.

I didn't fall to either side, even leaning towards Watergate itself.

I have to say that Watergate, a guy with a gentle smile, is actually not simple.

Compared with the straight swing fist with Fu Yue in the clan land, after coming to this small home, there is more or less the meaning of Tai Chi pushing.

The dark energy is surging, and every push and take is a temptation.

But although Watergate is not like Fuyue, he is led by the nose one by one, but he is also firmly held in his hands.

This bowl of water, Makoto is very flat at one end.

Because if it's uneven. A lot of the previous things are in vain.

He didn't do this for that little bit of bullshit power.

Look at it on the bright side

It is much more difficult to help a civilian-born Hokage with only military achievements to really take charge of Konoha than it is to let a powerful family seize power.

It's like Jiraiya's confusion about Seiichi Uchiha, so much so that he can only question his position in person in the end

In this ninja world, no one can really see Seiichi Uchiha's position clearly.

Painstakingly selected two ninjas born from civilians, who were 'orphans of war', to become the new helmsman of Konoha.

its intent.

Naturally, in order to disintegrate the current family power of Konoha and dismember Konoha again, the status quo of 'village in the village' was formed.

Therefore, Seiichi, who is an Uchiha, can't be the Hokage, and he can't even have too much power on the surface.

This is also as he said to Fugaku

The important thing is 'identity'.

The 'shadow' born by civilians, the 'roots' born by civilians, and a 'fire' from another world.

A brand new 'Hokage-root' system.

is the purpose of Seiichi Uchiha.

'Fire' cannot have power, because power is a muddy mire.

No matter how blazing the flames are, they will inevitably drown in the abyss made of flesh and blood.

It must stand on its own.

The 'shadow' must not be oblique, it must be pure-minded and fight for the people.

The place where the shadow is 'shrouded' should also be the place where the 'fire' shines.

Watergate is this 'selfless' person, a small family, a pair of wives and children, is all his 'selfish desires'.

The 'root' must not be bloated, its mission is to provide nourishment for the branches and stems for the new young leaves, and 'it' must have no family.

Because there is no 'family', there is no need for 'hoarding'.

Orochimaru pursues eternity, and only eternal 'life' will not make 'roots' greedy.

Because greed means nothing to 'eternity', eternity is everything.

And if.

'Shadow and Roots' began to rot.

The 'fire' will burn them.

The burning of 'decay' will bring about a new 'shadow'.

The size of the shadow means the growth of the tree.

For a tree to thrive, it needs to have its roots to provide nutrients.

And wait until next time.

'Fire' is still the end of 'decay'.

Is. Just one more time.

No one, no one is special.

Only this 'fire' from another world cannot be spoiled.

But 'fire' is not the only one.

Can't be the only one.

Improper is the 'only'.

Therefore he needs companions, comrades,

And even .

Homosexuals.

However, the road is long, the road is obstructive and the long line is coming.

There's a lot more that needs to be done for him.

The destination of the next stop has also been decided.

As soon as he thought of this, Seiichi sighed a little.

What were you thinking about before?

'Swing for a day'.?

I can't move

Orochimaru-sensei, you have to come up with some results for everyone in Konoha Village.

Otherwise, push to a root and regenerate a root

Whether it's Konoha's family power or the new Hokage, I'm afraid it's a little difficult to get along.

Of course, even if they all accept it.

The saddest hurdle is actually his Seiichi Uchiha.

He is the one who will not allow the 'roots' to spread again.

I'm not going to let you be the 'root', but I'm not going to let you start sucking blood unscrupulously.

However, Konoha's new Hokage said that he was hinting not to get involved in the current struggle.

But look at the way your dark circles are swollen.

Everything else is fine, you don't want to die suddenly

And Naruto

Very important!

You kid can't let a small loss of my Naruto be gone.

Therefore, Chengyi took another sip of water and said suddenly:

"By the way, Lord Watergate, I have a friend I want to introduce to you."

Shuimen was slightly stunned: "Friend? ”

"Eh, I can successfully remove this abscess, but I can't do it without his help."

Shuimen's eyes raised slightly: "Well, this friend, do you live far away?" ”

Cheng smiled and said, "Do you want to prepare an extra piece of chopsticks?" Lord Watergate. ”

Mizuto seemed to hesitate slightly, but Jiraiya took a sip of sake and said:

"Anyway, Jiu Sinai also prepared the boy's share of the soil, didn't he? She's worked hard this time, and I'm afraid she'll be sad if there's too much left."

The teacher's words, Watergate naturally will not fail to listen.

He nodded and said, "Then Seiichi, please ask you to bring that friend over." ”

Hearing this, Cheng came together.

"That's a faux pas, I'll go back as soon as I go, soon, rest assured."

However.

Wait and wait, until Kushina and Rin have already served the prepared dishes to the table.

Chengichi is still nowhere to be seen.

Jiraiya's face was a little ugly: "What the hell is this kid doing?"

Is it because I told him before I came in. Isn't the food going to be delicious?

You can't run away because of this kind of thing.

Just when everyone was a little embarrassed, Seiichi's equally complaining voice came from outside the door.

"Oh, can you hurry up, do you really want to bring so many things?"

"Seiichi, you didn't mean"

"Gotta get it, let's go in and talk about it."

Everyone finally got to see Seiichi's so-called friend.

He looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, and his face was quite neat.

Merely.

What's going on with this picture of him?

What's the one carrying those big bags and little bags? The appearance of the pockets is also very strange. It looks a bit like some kind of skin that has been shed.

The visitors were also a little dazed when they saw such a large table, especially the eye-catching silver, gold and red heads

Seiichi touched his head and said helplessly: "I have him to come over quickly"

"But. He said that he was a fan of Jiraiya-sama, so he had to carry these things on his back. ”

Jilai was also slightly stunned.

"You're a fan of mine too?"

Sorry for being late. Don't ask, I'm timid to ask.

It will be updated normally tomorrow.
