"Hahaha~"

A hearty laugh suddenly came from a rather old courtyard.

The exterior walls of the courtyard are covered with green moss, the walls have left cracks carved by time, and the green bricks used to build the walls have melted the edges as if they had been eroded by the rain and snow.

However, the courtyard separated by a wall does not show a dilapidated appearance.

The layout of the ancient courtyard bears witness to the traces of time, and on the neat ground, the bluestone paved road extends to the deep courtyard, which is particularly elegant.

In the very center of the courtyard, a quaint stone table is placed.

A middle-aged man with black hair spread a blanket on the table, then placed the blonde baby in his arms.

He stared at the little baby with six whiskers for a while, and the middle-aged man crossed his arms around his chest and suddenly laughed.

"Little guy, do you want to eat the balls rubbed by grandpa?!"

"Ah~ah~"

The baby, who was a few months old and still couldn't speak, just saw a big face come up to him, and subconsciously reached out to grab it.

The next moment.

I saw the middle-aged man look up and look around, and then an instant appeared on the wall, picked up a handful of snow and returned to the baby again.

"Maruko! Meatball! ”

After rubbing his two hands there a few times, a snow ball the size of a thumb belly appeared in the middle-aged man's hand.

After staring at the snow-made balls for a while, he took out a bag from his pocket, threw the balls into the bag and rolled them around, and when he took out the balls, he saw that the whole balls were covered with white powder.

"Hmm!"

The middle-aged man nodded with satisfaction, and then he made an "ah~" gesture towards the little baby.

Then, I saw that the baby also opened its mouth.

"Grandpa!"

As a female voice came from outside the hospital, Senju hurriedly stuffed the snow balls in his hand into the baby's mouth, and then made a gesture of silence.

Seeing the baby's eyes squinting happily, there was a look of nostalgia in the eyes of the pillars.

"During the Warring States period, my younger brothers' favorite thing to eat in winter was to add a little sugar to the snowball, which was quite sweet."

When Tsunade arrives in the courtyard, she finds her grandfather standing in the courtyard with a baby in his arms.

"Grandpa!"

Coming to the pillar, Tsunade looked at the fleshy kid and couldn't help poking him in the face a few times.

But the next moment, her gaze suddenly became a little strange when she looked at the Thousand Hands Pillar.

"Grandpa, did you feed him something?"

"No, no!"

Qianshou Zhuma shook his head vigorously, and he didn't want to deny it directly, "I didn't feed anything, his face is so cold, it must be frozen." ”

Looking at the grandfather's empty face, Tsunade pursed his lips, and then his eyes fell on the blonde child again, and said, "Mikoto has been going to an orphanage recently, intentionally or unintentionally, and it looks like she's looking for someone.

And she also asked me about the four generations of Hokage's children.

Grandpa, do you think the Uchiha is planning something again? ”

"Uchiha!!"

The Thousand Hands Pillar turned around and looked in the direction of the Uchiha clan with a complicated expression.

After this period of investigation, he also completely figured out the situation of the Uchiha in Konoha.

In general, what the Warring States were like, and what they are still like now.

has been integrated with the village for nearly fifty years, and he has not been fused with an ally for himself, which is equivalent to so-and-so and dozens of people getting along in a big family for more than 50 years.

"Alas!"

The pillar rubbed his head with a headache.

"噫~噫~噫~"

Looking at the baby who kept tugging at his grandfather's hair, Tsunade was silent for a while, then reached out and hugged him, and continued, "Those old men in Danzo, don't worry about the Uchiha because of the matter of the Nine-Tails.

Before finding out who controlled the Nine-Tails, they refused to let anyone from the Uchiha clan, including the ninja cat, have access to the human pillar power, and Konoha can no longer withstand disasters like the Nine-Tails.

Moreover, they have already given a gag order to the ninjas who participated in the Nine-Tails Rebellion that night, ordering that no one is allowed to discuss the events of that night, and everything will be said when the people behind the control of the Nine-Tails come to light. ”

Hearing this, the Thousand Hands Pillar couldn't help but be a little silent, he now wanted to say that the Nine-Tails incident had nothing to do with the Uchiha clan of Konoha.

It can be seen from the behavior of the Uchiha's group of old men who hurriedly revived themselves shortly after the disaster that their group really didn't know how to do it, and they had pinned their hopes on themselves to solve the conflict between the family and the village.

The main thing is that on the night of the Nine-Tails, Madara appeared

Madara could have beaten the Nine-Tails to the center of the village and left it alone, but according to the ninja who fought that day, the Blue Giant was not until it disappeared. are all fighting with the Nine-Tails.

"Madara!!"

The pillar looked up at the sky, and a hint of darkness flashed in his eyes.

He wanted to believe that Madara still had feelings for the village, and the Uchiha also had feelings for the village.

Meanwhile.

Inside Konoha Village.

Mikoto, who came out of the orphanage again, rubbed the corners of her eyebrows, revealing a hint of sadness in her eyes.

She promised Jiu Sinai to help her take care of the child temporarily.

But nowadays.

She noticed that things were a little different from what she had originally envisioned.

Not only is there no rumor of four generations of orphans in the whole village, but there are even a large number of orphans in large numbers during this time.

Babies from swaddling babies to children as young as three or four years old are all within the village's reach.

"Kushina's child."

Thinking of the last few times she had asked Tsunade about this, but Tsunade was silent, the anxiety in Mikoto's eyes became even stronger.

The child must still be alive, I don't know why, I don't let myself get in touch with it, right?

Thinking of this, she poked Sasuke in her arms and said softly.

"I also plan to make you good friends with Kushina's child, but my mother can't find where her child is until now, so she must have been secretly adopted by the village."

She could only guess now, maybe it was because the village hierarchy didn't want that child to live as a [son of the fourth generation of Hokage].

Because during the Third Ninja World War, Mizumon's performance was too prominent, and he made a lot of enemies in the war, if he knew that the child was the son of the fourth generation, then the enemy would probably come to kill him to take revenge.

Will that child grow up safely?

The son of the White Fang is fine, the son of the son of the third generation is fine, the first generation and the Uchiha people have nothing to do, but a son of the fourth generation is not good?

If the children are not well protected in the village, what is the need for the existence of this village?

After denying her conjecture, Mai Trin shook her head helplessly and said in a low voice, "I still can't find a convincing reason, it should be because of other reasons." ”

"Mikoto-sama!"

The familiar voice pulled her back from the memory.

Following the voice, Uchiha Mikoto looked up at the front, her face instantly sank, and she said coldly.

"Asuka Kamishinobi!"

Glancing at her cold eyes, Asuka twitched her cheeks slightly, then looked at the special courtyard behind her and asked, "Mikoto-sama, did you just come out of the orphanage?" ”

She hummed faintly, and then came up to the bird, winking at the cat crouching above him.

The next moment.

The bird felt a lightness on the top of his head.

When he looked back, he saw that Fat had jumped onto Mikoto Uchiha's shoulder, and the two of them were walking with their backs to him the way they came.

"Alas!"

Hearing the sigh of a bird behind her, Mikoto Uchiha slowly narrowed her eyes.

She didn't like talking to that guy at all.

guided his son, got Fuyue to divorce, and secretly formed a gang to get Fuyue to get married, wanting to make herself a single mother.

How could the Uchiha family have such a bad person?

"Mai Trito!"

The orange cat's soft and cute voice suddenly turned into a royal sister voice, it subconsciously stretched out its tongue and licked its paws, and then its body stiffened, and the words "I am a human" were constantly repeated in its heart.

After a long time, "Fat Fat" asked again.

"Still haven't found it?"

Well!

Mikoto nodded with a heavy face, and said in a low voice, "After the information provided by Ling, the concubine searched all the blonde babies in Konoha and did not find the concubine, and now I suspect that the child may have been secretly protected by the village for some reason, so he did not appear in the village."

Hearing this, the orange cat's face revealed a hint of humanized gloom.

After Fat Fat searched for several days but didn't find Naruto, Kushina had a vague guess in his heart.

Compared to Mikoto, she knew how important Naruto was to the village.

If it is revealed that an infant baby has the most powerful "weapon" of Konoha in his hands, it will expose even the weakest side of Konoha to all the ninja villages in the ninja world.

It can be said that Naruto's two identities are very dangerous to Naruto no matter which one is exposed, and it is better to let Naruto grow up naturally as an ordinary child.

"Unless."

Thinking of his corpse lying in the secret room, Kushina's dim eyes flashed with a gleam.

If you are resurrected as soon as possible, you will be able to see Naruto earlier.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Being stared at by the orange cat was a little uncomfortable, and after Uchiha Mikoto shuddered, she was puzzled.

"Nothing!"

Continuing to stare at Mai Tamin for a while, the orange cat shook his head and said with great interest, "Mai Trin, let's go shopping." ”

"Well, I just opened two new clothing stores recently.

By the way, what did Uchiha Asuka do in the orphanage? ”

"We were working in the medical department just now.

It's not time for lunch, but because there are so many patients, those medical ninjas still can't leave.

Pharmacist Ye Naiyu found that she might not be able to go back and cook for the child, so she first praised the deputy minister for a while, wanting the child to come to the medical department to eat.

Later, the deputy minister may have been praised a little flutteringly, and he waved his hand and said that the food in the medical department was too poor, and asked Asuka to send some fried chicken to improve the food for the children, and he would pay for it."

"That old man still likes to hear people praise him so much."

"Not really.

The same compliment, he felt that the Uchiha Asuka was yin and yang him, and I suspect that the old man might only like women to praise him. ”
