The setting sun gradually disappeared into the back mountain, and a crescent moon quietly climbed up the dim sky.
Looking at Uchiha Nashu who showed hesitation and silence in front of him, although the expression on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face did not change much, the words he blurted out became slightly more aggressive.
"What's wrong?"
"Or are you remembering it wrong? Chief Huang is not at the back mountain now, but at another training ground, or at Nanhe Shrine?"
"It doesn't matter where it is, as long as it's within the Uchiha clan."
"Then take me there."
Hearing this, Naishu's Adam's apple could not help but roll slightly, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead and back.
It was obvious that the person standing in front of him was a kind-looking old man with a friendly smile on his face, but why did he feel a creepy feeling in his heart.
It's just like,
It's like facing a wolf in sheep's clothing! !
For a time, nausea, nausea, disgust and many other bad emotions converged in Naishu's heart.
He had always thought that the village's dislike and rejection of the Uchiha clan was due to a long-term incomprehension. If a day of openness and honesty came, then all conflicts and misunderstandings would be solved.
However, he never thought that the source of this long-standing unresolved matter was the old man sitting in the position of Hokage!
Yes,
Yes!
No wonder no matter how patient the seniors of the police force were, no matter how much honor the Uchiha clan won on the border.
But Konoha will never see it!
And the clan leader must have seen through all this a long time ago. All the forbearance and willingness to be used in the past were just to protect the younger generations in the clan who were not able to protect themselves.
【but,】
【Lord Patriarch,】
[Sometimes you have to talk to us, don’t resist it all alone. 】
"Naju Uchiha, what's wrong with you?"
The kind but scary question came to my ears again.
But this time, there was no panic in Yu Zhi's heart, but only hostility.
"Since the Hokage-dono insists on disturbing the head of my family, then please do so."
"But I don't know what will happen next."
Uchiha Naoki straightened his back and responded in a neither humble nor overbearing manner. Even the words of respect after the title were quietly changed.
From now on, he will only call the clan leader as an adult! !
"Be respectful when facing Hokage-sama!"
The fellow Anbu naturally heard the change in the tone and attitude of the young man in front of them. The threat hidden in the words seemed even more familiar, and the angry shouts also broke out at this moment.
This time, it was the other party's first search.
The ANBU also had reason to capture this guy who disrespected the Sandaime and was already an adult.
"No problem, just lead the way."
"This is the pride of the Uchiha clan. It would be bad to lose it."
However, the scary thing is that Sarutobi Hiruzen still didn't show any anger or strangeness, and even had that kind smile that never changed on his face!
That's not to say he doesn't care at all.
But because the first thing he needs to do now is to see Uchiha Ara!
If he didn't see it, if it was proven that he was not in the clan, then he would have too many reasons to deal with this family that is alienated from himself and the will of fire!
In response, Uchiha Nashu didn't answer, and turned around to lead the way towards the back mountain.
The clan leader must be away from the clan now, he already knows this in his heart.
Although the Sandaime is old, his eyesight is extremely vicious.
Yes, Lin Huo had already left to report as soon as the other party arrived, but until now, his master had not shown up.
That's enough to explain some things.
However, the rear must have made some preparations, as the younger generation hurriedly descending are the best testimony.
After all, according to recent practice, these little guys will never go home easily unless they train to the moon and the treetops.
Nashu walked neither fast nor slowly, and gradually calmed down the chaos in his heart.
After all, it is impossible to directly refuse the Sandaime's request, because this is Konoha after all, and the previous words of the ANBU ninjas are all reminders of this.
If you persist in resisting, it will only lead to the worst outcome.
Although the current situation is also very bad, there is still some room for improvement.
As long as the patriarch can get back within the time they created, there will be no problem at all.
What's more, since the patriarch was able to walk away under the surveillance of the ANBU, it meant that he had some control over the entire incident.
Thinking of this, Uchiha Nashu's mood became calmer.
The subtle changes in the former's mentality were naturally seen by Sarutobi Hiruzen, and a cold haze slowly emerged from his somewhat cloudy eyes.
Uchiha Ara,
What kind of secret is hidden in that little guy, who can actually change the will and spirit of a family in such a short period of time!
You know, he remembers everything.
Remember the Uchiha clan after that night!
Depression is everywhere, death is everywhere, and all the tribesmen are sinking into despair.
But what about now?
This clan is not only able to face the sorrow of the past where they are, but they even have stronger cohesion!
Not to mention the younger generation, the scarlet blooming in their vision is the future of this clan.
Everyone thought that after experiencing that sudden change, the former wealthy family had embarked on an irreversible decline!
But who could have imagined that under the leadership of Uchiha Ara, they would build a 'new city' on the ruins! !
'Crack! '
As the dark sky was torn open by a bright thunder, the thoughts lingering in the sea of consciousness of Sarutobi Hiruzen were also broken.
At the same time, an ANBU ninja shouted:
"Hokage-sama, be careful!"
I saw that the sudden thunder actually split an ancient tree in half, and the broken part of the trunk crashed in front of the group!
If their pace had been a little faster just now, then maybe...
"How come? It's obviously a clear sky without clouds."
A murmur came from the mouth of an ANBU.
However, the moment he finished the sentence, the already dark sky was suddenly filled with dark clouds.
That's right,
collection!
They arrived in a hurry as if they were following the orders of a certain god.
Not long after, the rain also fell.
All of this seemed to be deliberately done to match the sudden thunder just now.
"Go up and have a look."
Several ANBU ninjas who were traveling with them were obviously surprised by such a strange situation. Under the command of the squad leader, one of his subordinates climbed straight up a giant tree.
However, what greeted him was another thunder falling from the sky!
'Click. '
The giant tree broke where the ANBU ninja was about to land, and a strange open flame also ignited here. It was obviously the work of the thunderbolt just now.
'Click. '
The ANBU ninja fell steadily to the ground.
Although he was not injured, the strange feeling in his heart became more and more vivid.
The two thunderbolts containing the power of heaven were obviously aimed at them. Someone was using thunder escape ninjutsu in the dark to interfere with their progress!
"Together."
Seeing this, the ANBU team leader suddenly roared.
No matter how powerful the Thunder Release Ninjutsu is, can it interfere with the four of them at the same time?
But at this moment, a whisper suddenly fell on the ears of several people:
"Illusion."
Such a sound was like a big bell, and it instantly caused several Anbu ninjas around who were trying to climb the giant tree to gain the commanding heights to stop their movements.
"untie."
Without the slightest doubt or stagnation in their movements, the four of them immediately mobilized the chakra in their bodies to attack each other, trying to get out of this environment.
After all, it was Hokage-sama who told such a message, and he was the one they trusted unconditionally.
only,
When these guys opened their eyes again, the scene around them was still the same as before.
The rain was still falling, and bright thunder leaped from time to time in the dark sky. The giant trees lined up in the field of vision were still swaying with red flames.
"Hokage-sama?"
A confused murmur fell.
This is not to question the conclusion of the Third Generation, but to ask for instructions.
If traditional methods cannot dispel such illusions, it can only mean one thing. The artist's attainments in illusions have far surpassed theirs!
At the moment when the illusion was released, it was covered without gaps again!
Of course this is not some random lie,
You know, when the illusion came, they didn't notice anything.
Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not answer, but silently focused his gaze on a remote corner in his field of vision.
A girl with long chestnut hair sat quietly there, with a large drawing board in front of her. Judging from her posture, she must be painting.
"The Kurama clan, Kurama Yakumo."
The muttering to himself came from Sarutobi Hiruzen's mouth, which contained clear and palpable complex emotions.
This ability to make illusions reflect the real world can only be achieved by the special blood inheritance limit unique to the Kurama clan.
As for why it has not been lifted, it is because this illusion targets not just one sense, but the five senses including hearing, smell, vision, taste, and touch!
But, when did that girl be able to cast such a powerful illusion?
Moreover, considering her physique, she shouldn't be able to sustain the spell for such a long time!
What exactly is going on?
Could it be that he has practiced the same secret technique as Uchiha Ara? Being able to show such a gesture is actually squeezing one's own potential?
wrong,
Judging from Kurama Congyun's character, he would probably not agree to such an approach.
Sarutobi Hiruzen denied in his heart.
But if it is the will of Kurama Yakumo himself and the Kurama clan...
Not impossible.
He had met the girl when she was very young, and while he could do nothing about her naturally weak constitution, he also witnessed the girl's persistence in becoming a ninja, and the Kurama clan's desire for revival.
If the latter two are willing to place their hopes on Uchiha Ara, then even Kurama Congyun may not have much stopping power.
Of course, there are two other possibilities:
What Uchiha gave was not some secret technique to overdraw potential;
And Kurama Cong Zeyun was supportive from beginning to end.
These two points were the real reasons that made Hiruzen Sarutobi feel troublesome.
Following the Sandaime-sama's gaze, several ANBU present apparently also spotted the girl sitting in the forest, quietly painting with a brush.
But the strange thing is,
Why was there a living girl sitting in the field of vision? Why hadn't they been able to discover it before?
Needless to say, the other party's sense of presence is low, the ninjas who can enter the Anbu are all elites among the ninjas, how could there be a situation where outsiders are ignored?
"Are you using illusions to stop us from moving forward?"
"Did you know that this is the Sandaime Hokage!"
Regardless of the reason, the ANBU team leader immediately raised his voice to warn.
However, the girl sitting in front of the easel seemed to have turned a deaf ear and was still drawing something on the drawing paper spread across it.
The drizzle around me is still the same, and so is the thunder.
"Then don't blame us."
Seeing this, the four ANBU ninjas suddenly rushed forward. Now that they have found the caster, the way to break away from the illusion is simple.
However, the distance that they could cross in an instant seemed to be stretched endlessly, and they could not reach the girl's side.
"Stubborn!"
Some guy who couldn't get out of this state casually took out a kunai and threw it at the girl in sight. Of course, due to the Kurama mentioned by the Sandaime, they didn't really aim at each other's vital points, but aimed at them. The drawing board set up in the forest.
Nothing weird happened this time.
The special bloody limit that controls the five senses is useless against dead objects, and the kunai flies straight towards the caster.
But,
'Crack! '
Another bright bolt of thunder struck down, slamming the incoming kunai to the ground.
The lightning that hit the ground also opened up the dark forest, and Yakumo's pale, papery cheeks were also glimpsed.
She seems to be reaching her limit. After all, she wants to trap several powerful ninjas in such an environment, and even one of them is the Sandaime Hokage!
The existence known as the strongest Hokage!
"In that case, let's see how long your chakra can last!"
The ANBU elites who had found a way to crack the problem instantly had several sharp ninja tools in their hands, and everyone scattered in all directions, hoping to use different attack positions to make the girl in sight unable to do anything.
But at this moment, the white-haired old man who was protected by the ANBU moved and surpassed the funny guy who was running on the spot in just a few steps.
"Hokage-sama, don't get close easily. That girl is weird and dangerous. Please leave it to us!"
Seeing this scene, the ANBU team leader suddenly roared in a deep voice.
"Okay, if that girl Yakumo wanted to kill you, you would already be a corpse. We are all ninjas of Konoha, so nothing will happen."
After saying that, Sarutobi Hiruzen continued to walk towards the girl in his sight.
His steps were not fast, but they were very steady, with each step firmly touching the ground.
As the white-haired old man approached, the girl's fingers holding the paintbrush began to tremble slightly, and she even coughed slightly.
The environment it creates cannot completely restrict the other party within it.
Of course, Kurama Yakumo naturally has more direct killing moves, but he can't really attack the Sandaime Hokage, right?
If this is really done, then the Kurama clan will also be criticized.
"Why are you attacking us?"
A kind question sounded in the girl's ears.
The old man had already reached his side.
At the same time, Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes also fell on the canvas:
The general background of the oil painting is this forest. The sky is covered with dark clouds, and milky white thunder runs through it. What attracts his attention the most is the long path in the forest. It is clearly visible at a glance, but it also gives the viewer a sense of wonder. The illusion of never reaching an end.
Obviously, it was this deep passage that gave him and the Anbu a sense of restraint just now!
Hearing this, Kurama Yakumo gently put down his paintbrush. Since the Sandaime has already walked to his side, there is no point in continuing to apply illusions.
Of course, there is another point, the chakra in her body has also bottomed out.
"I should be the one to ask this question."
"Why do you want to break into the place where I paint and disturb my painting?"
The girl raised her cheeks, her skin as pale as paper showed her weakness, but her pair of clean, psychic eyes showed a tranquility that was neither humble nor arrogant.
