The news of Ara's return was immediately delivered to the Hokage's office.
This was a veiled order given by the Sandaime Hokage himself.
And after Gang Zi Tie left, the crisp sound of the cane also sounded from far to near in the corridor.
I saw an old man who looked decadent and weak, with half his body wrapped in bandages, slowly appearing at the end of the corridor.
Danzo Shimura.
The 'evil' buried deep under Konoha eliminated many potential enemies for Konoha during the war.
Even Sansho Hanzo, known as the demigod of the ninja world, was manipulated by him.
"The news from the root is really fast enough."
Glancing at the old guy who opened the door and walked in without any etiquette, Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes showed an unfathomable depth.
Obviously, he had only just received the news of Uchiha Ara's return, but this old guy who was far away in the underground stronghold was actually able to arrive on the back foot.
This kind of reaction speed is not unsatisfactory.
It seems.
Although the roots have suffered a certain blow, there are also many hidden reserves.
Hearing this, Shimura Danzo lowered his eyes slightly, and the contempt in his eyes was suppressed to the extreme.
'Hiruzhan...'
'You really get better and better as you live. '
After sitting upright, he could only raise his eyes to look at the Sandaime behind the desk, his hands folded on top of the crutches.
Someone asked sharply and blurted out:
"Shouldn't you focus on Uchiha Ara now? He has disappeared from this world for nearly four months."
"How did that kid avoid ANBU's eyes?"
"What happened inside Yuyin Village?"
"What's the current situation of the Akatsuki organization?"
"Shouldn't these things be your first concern?"
At this point, his dissatisfaction quietly emerged again.
but.
This root hidden in the ground, this darkness buried deep in Konoha, finally suppressed those special emotions and continued to add:
"Furthermore, there is a high probability that the Uchiha clan has a way to contact Uchiha Ara."
"Otherwise, the little guy won't come back at exactly this time."
"You can finally be cruel when it comes to doing big things."
Danzo's voice is a little complicated.
You can hear the approval and a touch of genuine banter.
Although his proposal of "radical general" was postponed for nearly a month, the old guy finally did it.
Now I'm expecting that irritable little guy to do something irrational.
certainly.
This is also Danzo's foreshadowing.
Use the previous proposal to test Uchiha Ara.
If that kid still maintains his previous madness and doesn't care, then there is still a need to stay as a chess piece.
but.
If this trip changes your personality and makes you reclusive, then you need to pay special attention to it.
even.
Can be erased in advance.
"snort."
In response, Sarutobi Hiruzen snorted coldly.
The dissatisfaction in his eyes became more intense.
Earlier, he didn't want to use the children of the Sarutobi clan to do some small tricks, fearing the negative impact, so he continued to choose to wait.
but!
Still waiting for dozens and dozens of days with no news and no deadline finally made this nervous old man unable to sit still.
And it has to be said that some of Danzo's methods and guesses are correct.
He just stirred up the nerves of the Uchiha clan through his clan members, and the little guy they regarded as their clan leader immediately appeared from some unknown nook.
He even didn't hesitate to expose his own flying psychic beast!
"Uchiha Ara got a giant eagle from somewhere as a psychic beast. It's not so strange that ANBU couldn't find traces of him at the border."
"The important thing now is: Where has he been these days?"
"Is it true that he went to Yuyin Village as he said?"
"If you go, what information can you get?"
"The current Rain Country and the Akatsuki organization that has gathered many rebellious ninjas are making people feel a little uneasy."
Sarutobi Hiruzen was tapping his pipe lightly on the table. There was solemnity on his old cheeks, and even the wrinkles were piled together in his thoughts.
"If it's Itachi..."
"well."
After stopping for a moment, he suddenly mentioned that person's name again.
But in the end it turned into a long sigh.
There is no chance to start over again. That night, they had already broken up.
If it weren't for the existence of Uchiha Sasuke now, as the final connection between the two.
Then things will most likely evolve into a worse situation.
Regarding Hiruzen Sarutobi's sighs and annoyance, Danzo Shimura did not make any waves.
He is different from the other person.
I will only look forward. Since some things have already happened, I will find ways to check and balance them and eliminate them.
Of course, he also fully recognized the issues mentioned by Hiruzen about Uchiha Ara.
"Then gather all the clan leaders together."
"At that time, that kid will choose to hide the information and make everyone angry, or he will be honest and share the information."
"Let him alone."
"Besides, Konoha's rules for going out should be changed."
"Especially as a clan leader."
"Otherwise, it would be bad if hostile external forces take advantage of the situation."
Danzo said slowly.
And put forward some restrictive opinions.
After all, they can scheming among themselves for power, and they may even dig pits to limit each other's power and make each other feel disgusted.
But once it touches Konoha's interests and Konoha's existing or potential enemies, the position will become particularly consistent.
However, these two old men guessed wrong about one thing.
Huang's return had nothing to do with their little scheme. It was just that after recruiting a large number of subordinates, they felt it was time to come back and show their face.
Moreover, when he was stationed in the empty area, he also asked Nekomata whether Izumi had used him to find his traces or send some messages.
After all, he has been away from his clan for a long time.
The available answer is: no.
The little girl followed the agreement and never disturbed it.
Such an answer also made Huang Huihui's thoughts more urgent. Therefore, after briefly explaining a few details and watching the stronghold begin to take shape, he immediately channeled the giant eagle's return.
Of course, there are two little things worth mentioning.
First: The steel fortress hidden in the deep sea, which resembles traces of human activities. Through the monitoring and feedback of the 'sea', Huang has become somewhat certain about their identity.
It is indeed a human force.
At the same time, as guessed, it was a force that retreated in the war.
And even though he had just recruited nearly a hundred blood successors and had certain trump cards and power, he was still very covetous of that force with special combat capabilities!
However, before he has strong enough naval combat capabilities, he will naturally not foolishly think about contacting or even incorporating the opponent.
Second: There are already traces of Kirigakure's traitorous ninja Black Hoe Thunder Fang. He has escaped from the Kingdom of Water and entered the continent where the Kingdom of Fire exists.
However, that guy was still running away cautiously, showing no signs of stopping.
Maybe it's because there are Kirigakure ANBU chasing after him.
After he appeared in front of the higher-ups, he would be the next target of hunting.
Whether it is establishing an executive ANBU or polishing those bloodline limiters who have not experienced professional training, the ninjas of Kirigakure Village who have experienced the most brutal elimination system are undoubtedly the best mentors!
"Clan leader...Clan leader?"
"It's really you, the patriarch!!"
Just as he slowly crossed the main city of Konoha and reached the edge of the clan territory, a joyful exclamation suddenly sounded in his ears.
As for reporting his return to the Hokage Sandaime in person, he didn't feel it was necessary.
Moreover, the guarding ninjas in front of the door will naturally pass on the message.
Following the sound, a little guy wearing a dark blue shirt was bowing to him from a distance.
However, his face seemed to have been beaten, with faint bruises visible.
Huang didn't find it strange, he nodded slightly in return and left.
Because bruises are just the daily color of skin to ninjas.
I used to dislocate my bones countless times during training day after day.
If even such a minor injury requires concern, then there is no need to inherit the name of Uchiha.
But things don't seem to be as simple as Huang imagined.
The tribesmen I met on the road all showed a kind of joy and relaxation from the bottom of their hearts after seeing him return.
but.
But they all seem to be trying their best to hide and cover up something.
This situation gave Huang a sense of déjà vu.
No.
He was sure that he had experienced such a situation before.
Just like the time when Brother Minghuo was taken away by ANBU!
Everyone is suppressing this! !
Huang didn't ask anyone else, but just returned home on his own, because those three guys would definitely come to give him an explanation.
The small house that I haven't lived in for a long time is still clean and tidy, and there is a faint fragrance lingering. I think the source of this fragrance is the flowers placed on the table.
"Lord Patriarch!"
Soon after, Uchiha Nashu and Nobuhiro arrived in a hurry.
After entering the house, they immediately knelt on the ground, unable to conceal the excitement in their words.
"Say it."
"what happened?"
Huang said softly.
His eyes were condescending and his voice was a little displeased.
"Lord Patriarch, everything in the clan is fine, but there is nothing..."
"That's enough. You should know that this is not what I want to hear."
Just as Xinyan opened his mouth, he was instantly interrupted by Huang.
Those cold words directly lowered the temperature of the entire cabin.
The scene was a little stiff for a while.
The bodies of the two tribesmen who were half kneeling on the ground could not help but tremble.
But still didn't say anything else.
seem.
They had already reached a consensus and reached an agreement.
It's like a fellow member of the same race who suppressed some emotions to greet him along the way.
"OK."
"If you don't want me to know."
"Then get lost!"
Huang didn't say anything and just chased away the guests.
No matter how many secrets and good intentions they have.
because.
Now I am the leader of this clan!
Doomed to bear everything.
"I'm sorry, Patriarch."
Feeling Ara's anger, Nashu and Xinyan immediately apologized, and slowly explained after looking at each other.
"...So, you just let the juniors fight back and be humiliated?"
"I asked you to pass on my will before I left, but did you turn a deaf ear to it?"
Huang's voice became louder and louder.
The momentum that escaped involuntarily easily pushed the two tribesmen who had activated the three magatama to the ground!
You know, this is the state where he reopened [Reiatsu] and sealed most of the chakra.
"Don't dare."
"Don't dare!"
Nashu and Xinyan didn't make excuses, they just kept apologizing.
At the same time, a clear thought surged in their hearts: Their patriarch has become stronger again! !
"Let all the clan members who want to become ninjas wait for me at the training ground."
Seeing the tribesmen in such a posture, Huang also restrained his pressure and gave the order.
It seems that Uchiha's impulsive character, which is deeply rooted in his bones, needs to be corrected by him personally.
As for why everyone chooses to bury, obliterate, and not mention what happened, there is only one reason: the Sarutobi clan is involved!
That's the Sandaime Hokage's family! !
Moreover, the instigator of the incident was also very familiar to Ara, it was the two brothers Sarutobi Mu and Sarutobi Lin who had been beaten by him.
A few days ago.
In the Konoha mission hall.
"Huh? Isn't this Izumi? Why are you still a genin? Tsk, you're actually still on a D-level mission."
The unruly Sarutobi Lin lightly padded the B-level mission scroll in his hand with disdain and mocked.
Hearing the sound, Quan ignored it and just followed the instructions of the task issuer and signed his name.
This is already the 112th D-level mission she has carried out. With such high efficiency, she has almost taken over the basic tasks of the entire village.
However, during this period, she was given many, many bad names such as 'ten thousand years genin' and 'cowardly Uchiha'.
But Quan didn't care, and still quietly and quickly solved every task he received.
I want to give that person a little more confidence.
"Hmph, after all, this family is no longer the first family. Are you looking for death now that you have left the protection of the village?"
"Even the patriarch they just established has died outside."
'Click. '
Juanxiu's handwriting was disrupted, and the strokes he had just signed were lengthened. Uchiha Izumi suddenly raised his cheeks, with deep disbelief in his eyes.
She doesn't care about all the taunts and doesn't take them to heart.
But she couldn't ignore the news about that person.
"What did you say? What happened to Huang?"
Izumi stared blankly at the two Sarutobi tribesmen who were discussing on the side, and the words in his mouth became trembling.
This wasn't what she wanted to believe.
It's because these two ninjas who were once at the same level are members of Hokage-sama's clan and know relatively much about them.
"Oh, he has been missing for the past six months. Even the ANBU has no news about him."
"Tell me, where is that little thing who knows the heights of the sky?"
Sarutobi Lin looked at the completely destroyed calmness on the girl's face with pleasure, and there was a ferocious smile on the corner of her mouth.
But after hearing such news, Uchiha Izumi suddenly felt at peace.
This means that there is no substantive news!
Can.
This is not the only place making waves.
"Don't insult Brother Huang, don't talk nonsense about my clan leader!!"
Uchiha Haru, who had just entered school, stared fiercely at the senior student who was a head taller than him. Two black magatama had already appeared on his scarlet pupils.
"Oh, do you really think you are the former Uchiha of the family?"
"Get away, you loser!!"
The senior student looked contemptuous and took advantage of his physical strength to rush forward.
Brother Lin said that the current Uchiha clan leader is dead.
present.
The Sarutobi clan is the largest family in Konoha!
And similar situations can be seen everywhere in this ninja academy.
As for those teachers, it seems that they have disappeared or have been sent away long ago.
........
"The Sarutobi clan?"
"Want to play?"
"Then I'll accompany you!"
While muttering to himself, a dark windmill rotated crazily in his scarlet pupils.
