The night hangs low, and the evening wind carries ashes.
The Kurama clan, which had been silent for too long, was awakened by this sudden change. The clansmen gathered in twos and threes outside the clan house, with the blazing fire in their eyes and the sound of crackling wood echoing in their ears.
Confusion, sadness, depression and many other emotions permeated their faces, and even the entire field was enveloped in an invisible depressive atmosphere.
The once glorious family has now declined further and further. Now even the clan's mansion is in the nameless flames, which makes the mood of all the clan members fall into a cold abyss.
Could it be that God is foretelling something?
They didn't dare to speak lightly, but they couldn't help but ask themselves in their hearts.
Kurama Congyun stood closest to the sea of fire. What could be seen was that his broad back was slightly rickety. The passage of time, the future of the family, and the illness of his daughter were all the reasons for the bending of his back.
Standing beside him is his wife Lin.
During this time, he was sensible and did not cry. All he did was to fold his hands devoutly on his chest, murmuring his open and closed lips, probably praying for something, and two lines of clear tears silently flowed down his cheeks. slide.
Further back, about one body away, stood Kurama Unkai, the only old guy with ninja status left in the Kurama clan, an old guy who had the most urgent hope to see the family revived.
At this moment, he chose to believe.
Believe in the man in front of you and the choice made by their patriarch.
only,
After all, the flames in front of you are not some illusion that confuses the eyes of others!
'boom! '
A huge main beam supporting the mansion crashed to the ground, setting off a burst of sparks. At the same time, Nuo Da's mansion suddenly knelt forward like a giant with broken legs.
The red flames surged, and the flames in their field of vision grew higher and higher for a while. The flames shot out and hit the front of Kurama Congyun and his wife, but they did not retreat at all, still staring blankly at the sea of fire in front of them.
And at this moment, a strange black shadow quietly appeared on the red curtain, and what could be vaguely seen was a human figure.
"Y-Yakumo!"
Kurama Lin finally couldn't suppress the fear and fear in her heart and shouted out, and her whole body couldn't help but move towards the sea of fire. If Kurama Congyun hadn't stopped her immediately, then she would probably have gone straight towards that sea of fire. A black shadow hugged him!
As for why he would make such a blocking move...
That's because in this sea of fire, it's not just his daughter and Uchiha Ara, but also that unidentified weird monster! !
if,
If that guy comes out,
Thoughts of extreme fear echoed in his mind, and a drop of cold sweat slipped from his forehead.
No,
Will not!
That's a wasteland,
On the eastern front, he supported the Fourth Mizukage and faced Uchiha Ara, the Fourth Raikage!
Even the eight-tailed natural disaster was played by him, no matter how terrifying it was, what could he do to it?
Thinking of this, the panic in his heart gradually began to calm down.
You must know that what goes against the Uchiha clan's declining reputation is Arina's growing reputation! !
"Yakumo!"
Just when Kurama Congyun's inner thoughts were going back and forth, Lin suddenly broke away from his protection and ran towards the flames that were so close at hand, and the call in his mouth became even more real.
Because there was a girl sleeping in the arms of the young man who stepped out of the sea of fire.
And girls,
It's her Yakumo!
"Master Kurama, our agreement ends here."
After handing over the sleeping girl in his arms to Kurama Lin, Aara immediately spoke calmly to Kurama Congyun on his side.
In the past, the other party had made an agreement with him for Kurama Yakumo, and he had unswervingly fulfilled his promise in several external meetings.
Now is the day to fulfill the promise.
"Then Yakumo..."
Kurama Congyun asked eagerly.
The monster that emerged from her daughter's body made it difficult for her to settle down.
"I'm just too tired. I can recover after a few days of rest."
"As for that monster, it will naturally never appear again."
Huang responded methodically.
After all, Ido was solved by Kurama Yakumo himself, so there is no possibility of his recurrence.
That girl has completely overcome her inner demons and obsessions.
"Thanks."
"thank you so much."
Hearing this answer, Kurama Congyun suddenly bowed towards the young man in front of him, his voice trembling.
At this moment, he does not represent the Kurama clan, but a father who is willing to lay down everything for his daughter.
After all, he was just trying to hold on to this dream-like night of horror.
"Um."
Huang took a step back, and his whole body gradually overlapped with the monstrous sea of fire. His cold expression was like a god descending on the firelight in the inaccessible flames.
"That is........"
At this moment, there was a slight murmur.
It’s the Kurama Sea of Clouds approaching the sea of fire!
When the clan leader and his wife set their sights on Kurama Yakumo, his eyes inexplicably fell on the mansion that was stained with blazing flames.
In a daze, he seemed to see strange figures standing among them, waiting quietly as if they were waiting for their king.
However, when he wanted to explore more carefully, his vision suddenly became blurry and those figures disappeared.
Even the memories in my mind seem to be the only ones left...
[The Zong family’s mansion was engulfed by fire,]
[Fortunately, the patriarch, his wife, and Yakumo are fine. 】
【The sky is not dead yet pommel horse. 】
After a while, Kurama Yakumo, who fell into a deep sleep, slowly opened her eyes. The illusion lingering in her memory gradually faded away, and her world was gradually filled with substantial reality and the warm embrace of her mother.
"Mother, father."
She lightly opened her chapped thin lips and called out.
Although the voice was still weak, it was filled with Qian Qian's strength.
And this shallow power came from a red pill that was put into the mouth by the young man.
"Yakumo, let's just end it like this, okay?"
"The revival of the family and the inheritance of Kurama are not your business alone."
"Mom, I just want you to live in peace."
Kurama burst into tears and hugged the newly awakened girl tightly into his arms, as if he was worried that if he let go so easily, he would lose her forever.
And this situation also made Kurama Yunkai, who wanted to see the revival of his family, slightly stagnant in his thoughts.
If things go on like this, they will entrust all their hopes and the burden of Kurama's revival to a fragile girl. Is this really a good idea?
He watched Yakumo grow up, from babbling to the slim figure he is now.
Yakumo's efforts are also seen by every Kurama clan member. She is the only one who has awakened the blood inheritance limit, and she bears the expectations of the entire family.
Perhaps, such expectations are really too heavy.
"Stop it, Yakumo."
Seeing the girl's weak appearance, Kurama Unkai said these words out of nowhere.
Even if he clearly knows that practicing is like sailing against the current; even if he clearly understands that the other party is the only hope for the family's revival.
but,
Peace and quiet may be enough.
The glory and splendor of a family should not rest on one person.
"No."
However, this persuasion was decisively rejected by the girl, her slightly trembling eyes filled with determination.
"That's how he came here."
"I, I can definitely do it too!"
Kurama Yakumo's eyes did not retreat.
In the two years since she met that person, she seemed to have had an unusually long dream.
Being in darkness, but yearning for light.
Silently listening to all the information about that person in the corner of the edge,
Knowing his past,
Understand his burden,
Looking at his unruliness from afar,
Waiting for his salvation.
Now, that beam of light has pierced through the darkness and led him to the bright road, so there is no reason why she can't lead Kurama to revival.
I want to follow that person's footsteps! !
"he is?"
Kurama Yunhai blurted out subconsciously, and he had no memory of that person's appearance.
So I'm a little confused about the 'he' that Yakumo refers to.
"Yakumo, actually..."
Holding the girl tightly in his arms, Kurama Lin was about to continue persuading him, but at this moment, a low voice of agreement broke in.
"I see."
It’s Kurama Congyun who hasn’t spoken for a long time.
"Cong Yun, you..."
Such words surprised the woman. He obviously didn't say this when he was in the house. He was standing on his own side and hoped that his daughter could have a peaceful and ordinary life.
However, at this moment, Kurama Congyun did not directly respond to his wife's question. Instead, he looked directly at his daughter and said something that made the two people around him somewhat nonsensical:
"You saw the future too, right?"
"From him."
The agreement made a few months ago, the attitude of fulfilling the promise, the similar family situation, and the evil reputation that no one wants to get close to.
All of this seems to be an invisible bridge.
The bridge connecting Uchiha and Kurama!
"Well, Father!"
Kurama Yakumo nodded fiercely.
shortage,
Uchiha Ara,
As long as they follow him, the Kurama clan will surely be able to regain its former glory.
Because he is special.
"I understand. When you fully recover, I will take you to see him."
Kurama Congyun gently stroked the girl's head and spoke in a gentle voice.
But before that, he had to unify the will of the entire family.
"Elder Yunhai, recall all the clan members who are outside. I have something to announce at the meeting in three days."
"It's about Kurama's future."
As for Konoha’s attitude,
When Kurama was moved to the edge, there was no need to pay attention to it anymore.
...........
"Uchiha Ara's eyes?"
"You mean, Shisui's other eye is in Uchiha Ara's hand?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned, his old eyes showing darkness.
If this is really the case, then the danger level marked on it will have to be raised even higher!
Not only because the Mangekyō Sharingan can bring qualitative improvement to Uchiha Ara, but also because of the meaning that possessing this eye symbolizes.
this means,
He may know the real cause of death of Uchiha Shisui,
He may have been holding back and accumulating strength.
He may have a bigger plot! !
The expansion of such horrifying thoughts immediately made the haze in his eyes deepen.
"If this is not the case, how can the little guy resist other gods?"
Danzo Shimura's words were sonorous, and although they were rhetorical questions, they were full of certainty.
But it was this kind of determination that made Sarutobi Hiruzen settle down.
Because such an urgent attitude is exactly the sign that the other party wants to solve the thorn in their side!
"The Mangekyou Sharingan has special lines, so you should have seen it too, right?"
It was just a simple question, but Danzo fell into a brief silence.
[This old guy is doubting himself again! 】
However, just as he continued to weave lies for the greater good, questions rang in his ears again.
"I remember that during the operation against Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Ara happened to take on his first mission, and his return to Konoha was only after the fact."
"So, how did he get Shisui's eyes?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen completely settled down and reorganized the past situation.
And think about it carefully, how can a young man who behaves unruly, a lunatic who can slam the table and fall out with Konoha senior officials for his family on important occasions, tolerate such hatred until now?
Such a polar opposite character, unless he has a second personality.
or,
Sarutobi Hiruzen actually didn't want to continue thinking about it, because it represented an even greater terror!
After all, Uchiha Ara is just an eleven-year-old child.
"Hiruzen, you are soft-hearted again."
Danzo Shimura's voice was cold as his lie was exposed.
He really couldn't say that Shisui's other eye was in Huang's hand, but getting rid of that hidden danger was undoubtedly a must!
"The person from Yuyin Village has replied."
"The Kingdom of Rain will never allow other forces to intervene, and there is no room for negotiation."
"Invade, then fight."
"Tell me, what does this mean?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen did not directly answer the other party's rhetorical question, but changed the topic.
Because Uchiha Ara is under Konoha's surveillance after all, and no matter how strong he is, even if he has the power to bewitch the Eight-Tailed Natural Disaster.
Can one person protect all the tribesmen in the conflict?
Uchiha is no longer the same Uchiha.
Desolate, unable to make waves.
A character that protects one's shortcomings.
The three-year period is also a consideration of its true strength.
"The Akatsuki organization has taken full control of the Rain Country? Or has it gained the support of Sansho Hanzo?"
After hearing the news, Danzo Shimura also slowed down his entanglement with Uchiha Ara. Compared with Aara, who has a weak point at hand, the strange organization that has successively attacked the two major forces of Kirigakure and Kumogakure is the most important thing at the moment. things.
Moreover, more and more evidence shows that the Nine-Tails Rebellion eight years ago was also their work!
"The handwriting and tone of voice are consistent. If it is really the latter, then quantity is useless in front of Hanzo."
"Other countries have no intention of going to war directly, especially this kind of alliance with different motives, so sending their elites to carry out raids is the only option at the moment."
"Kumogakure and Iwagakure have agreed."
"And I need the power of my roots in order not to leave any traces of Konoha."
Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice was filled with irrefutable words.
This was the real reason why he visited Danzo at night.
