The drizzle suddenly fell, and the dark clouds suddenly dispersed.
Without chakra to maintain the illusion, the illusion instantly collapsed. Only the broken wood on the surface and the rain-soaked soil still left some marks.
If this is a real world, is it really what illusion can achieve?
As the illusion was lifted, the four ANBU elites present all looked at each other, and they could all see the horror in each other's eyes.
It was obvious that they had already dispersed in all directions, trying to surround the girl in their field of vision.
But what about the result?
The result was that after leaving the illusion, he didn't leave even half a step from where he was!
The distance you see is all illusion!
This situation is really too weird and terrifying.
No wonder the Sandaime-sama would say such a dangerous thing: if the other party insists on taking his own life, then they will already be a dead corpse! !
[Why do you want to break into the place where I paint and disturb my painting? 】
Sarutobi Hiruzen really didn't expect that the girl beside him would respond to his inquiry with such a rhetorical question.
And judging from the whole scene, it seems that they stepped into the girl's area and disturbed the other party's interest.
But is this really the case?
To the Sandaime, who has read countless people, this is just the weakest lie.
However, due to some considerations, he still couldn't debunk such a rebuttal.
Because the Kurama clan is different from the Uchiha.
The latter is a family with hidden dangers that he has completely given up in his heart and even wants to get rid of;
There are still some possibilities for utilization of the former. If Kurama Yakumo can grow smoothly, it will also be good news for Konoha, and the value available for utilization will be greater.
After all, the Kurama clan does not have the arrogance or extreme physique like Uchiha. Although the ability to control the five senses is very good, it also has a method of restraint, and it will not be like the 'overflow' and 'unsolvable' Sharingan. 'Case.
Especially today!
After seeing those green faces and terrifying eyes that concealed hostility, Sarutobi Hiruzen was completely awakened!
The decline of Uchiha is only seen by outsiders.
In Yu Zhi's eyes, this is more like a rebirth of nirvana.
Abandon Uchiha Fugaku's gentleness, stifle Uchiha Itachi's opposition, and only follow Uchiha Araichi's will to be reborn! !
This is definitely not the situation he wants to see!
For a moment, his thoughts continued to deepen:
The relationship between the Uchiha and Kurama clans, Kurama Sugumo's recent attitude, and the impact of Kurama Yakumo if he can really rise, etc., etc.
Although to outsiders, these are just two declining families, even he himself thought so when he first learned that Kurama Yakumo lived in the Uchiha clan.
However, put aside these superficial weaknesses to see and interpret:
This represents the union between two special blood inheritance boundaries that stand at the pinnacle of illusion!
Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes were trembling slightly.
Can't,
We absolutely cannot allow this kind of relationship to continue to develop!
[Isolation], [Division], [Weakening], [Exclusion], all methods that can weaken the strength and influence of the Uchiha clan are imminent.
"That's right. It's true that we disturbed your painting. I'm really sorry."
The gentle gaze eliminated the danger in his eyes, and the peaceful and charitable smile soon drove away the stiffness on the old man's face.
For the Kurama clan, Sarutobi Hiruzen naturally wanted to maintain a wooing attitude.
And this young girl who has awakened to the limits of her family's inheritance and is gradually showing signs of improvement in physical condition is a top priority.
"Your name is Yakumo, right? Kurama Yakumo."
"I hugged you when you were a child. I remember that you loved drawing at that time."
"I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect that the little guy who used to doodle everywhere at home has become so slim and graceful, and his painting skills have become much more advanced."
The simple apology was quickly overshadowed by warm memories.
The entire dark and cold environment slowly melted away in the old man's voice.
If such a situation could be made into a painting, it would definitely be a warm picture of grandfather and grandson coexisting.
However, the only flaw is:
I don’t know if it’s because the girl’s face is very pale, which gives people a cold and inhuman sense of distance, making this painting feel a bit fragmented.
"Um."
When the old man paused for a long time, the girl who was slowly arranging the brushes and canvas seemed to think of a panting person standing beside her, and then she slowly hummed a word in response.
Faced with such a response, no matter how patient Sarutobi Hiruzen was, the amiable mood on his face changed slightly.
"Then, say hello to your father for me."
"I haven't visited the Kurama clan for a long time. I'll go visit when I have time."
He suppressed the bad emotions in his heart and ended the topic with polite words.
It was obvious that the girl beside him was not interested in his identity and name. Not only did such abrupt contact have no good effect, it might even have the opposite effect.
But he quickly calmed down his emotions. The defeat in Kurama Yakumo was nothing. After all, the real decision-maker in the Kurama clan was the girl's father.
Just spread your purpose towards Kurama Congyun.
I believe that the other party will put the overall situation first.
'Click. '
The drawing boards were gently closed together, all items had been sorted, and Kurama Yakumo was ready to leave.
She did not respond at all to the old man's words, because this was beyond the level of what she could answer. A hasty answer would only cause trouble for the Kurama clan.
However, just as the girl passed by the Sandaime with her painting tools, an inexplicable sense of familiarity quietly invaded her heart.
This breath is......
It's him who's back.
Similarly, Sarutobi Hiruzen also seemed to have some sense, and looked towards the way he came from, but in the dim light of the sky, he was unable to discover anything immediately.
The same was true for the ANBU standing in the way they came from. They still stood there without any special reaction or movement.
They are the most elite ninjas in the village, and it is difficult to escape their perception of any disturbance.
[Is it my own illusion? 】
Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had not found anything strange, thought in his mind.
However, just when he wanted to follow the feeling in his heart and continue to explore, a girl's voice came to his ears:
"The road to the Kurama clan is very remote and far away."
"Sandaime-sama, if you have nothing important to do, there is no need to waste time going there. I will convey the message to father on your behalf."
"So as not to delay your more important official duties."
Kurama Yakumo's voice was very soft, and still contained a real sense of distance.
Such an arrogant answer is of course not what he really thinks in his heart, because it may be related to the attitude and direction of the Kurama clan.
However, that guy came back at this moment, and even roughly bumped into the Sandaime.
And this seemingly old man has obviously noticed something. If he is allowed to continue exploring, no one can predict the subsequent results.
That's why she chose to continue speaking out to attract the old man's attention.
This is also repaying a debt of gratitude.
After all, in the final analysis,
It was Uchiha Ara who gave him hope in despair;
When the devil came, it was Uchiha Ara who came as promised and saved his parents;
The most important thing is that when Konoha has given up on the Kurama clan, it is still Uchiha Ara who makes his father see hope for the family's revival!
But not this respected old man.
Although Kurama Yakumo can also understand the truth in the middle, the entire ninja world is based on interests.
If you don't have the power, no one will take it seriously.
However, she still remembered the young man two years ago who made a promise when she had nothing and could do nothing:
[Respond to it, let it go, feed it! 】
[At the end, I will help you erase it! 】
Now, the man's promise has been fulfilled.
Then, it’s time to finish that night’s prayer by yourself.
She once said that as long as Huang could save her father and mother, she would do anything!
Time seems to stand still at this moment,
After hearing such words, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't believe his ears.
In this case,
This kind of words full of distance,
Is it really what the sick girl said in the past?
Or is this girl also affected by Uchiha Ara?
In just a few months!
the most important is,
The Kurama clan has a long road and a remote location. Whose will and attitude are these remarks and dissatisfaction?
It's a simple complaint from a girl,
Or was it the angry words that Anma Congyun once said that made him remember them in his heart?
Such distracting thoughts instantly made Sarutobi Hiruzen's mind retract, and his complicated eyes fell on this girl who was so close to him but seemed to be several dimensions away.
"After the Nine-Tails disaster, Konoha reorganized its layout."
"Cong Yun once said that your physical condition is not very good and you want to find a quiet area with fresh air to recuperate."
Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke slowly, but the amiability in his voice gradually faded.
But when he blurted out such a habitual explanation, his expression froze slightly.
Although this matter is true,
But the more real reason is that the whole of Konoha is taking advantage of the situation to be reshuffled, with weak families being marginalized and powerful families settling in better areas.
The Kurama clan, which had not produced jounin for a long time, naturally did not continue to stay in the core area.
The reason why Kurama Congyun said this is simply to make it less embarrassing for his family to leave!
After all, who would want to leave the land they have lived in for decades unless necessary?
Especially the old people in the clan.
"Um."
Kurama Yakumo still just hummed in response to this explanation, and stepped forward again, walking towards the road down the mountain.
Of course, the most fundamental reason is that the man has left here, and there is no need for him to continue such a vain and arrogant conversation.
【The Kurama clan,】
[There is no Will of Fire anymore. 】
Watching the girl slowly disappearing from sight, Sarutobi Hiruzen muttered silently in his heart.
After a short moment of silence, the gray-haired old man turned around and continued walking up the dark road.
"Please Sandaime stop."
"The restricted area ahead for my family leader's practice."
When there was a faint sound of water splashing in his ears, Uchiha Linhuo, who had left earlier, reappeared in his sight.
The clan leader is not in the clan at the moment, this is something he has already confirmed.
That's why the clan members came down to stop him, and the eldest lady of the Kurama family delayed the execution of the illusion.
However, he didn't know whether the little time created was enough.
The only thing that is certain is that Izumi has channeled the message of the Sandaime Hokage's sudden visit through a huge cat.
The rest is up to you to try your best to delay it.
Sarutobi Hiruzen heard Lin Huo's words and saw the other party's blocking attitude.
However, in view of what they saw along the way, the Uchiha clan has shown clear hostility and resistance, and the Kurama clan's attitude has also become subtle. In addition, the Hyuga clan has shown dissatisfaction...
Now that things have reached this point,
Is it necessary for him to continue to maintain such a benevolent attitude?
No need!
Without any response, Sarutobi Hiruzen flew straight past Uchiha Linhuo's body, just as wantonly as the evening wind swept through the forest.
"Hokage-dono!"
The latter suddenly roared after reacting.
In Yu Zhi's heart, this aloof leader of Konoha is really not as noble as his clan leader!
But before he could make a move, two ANBU ninjas were already blocking the old man behind him, with the katana slung behind him already unsheathed.
"What do the ANBU want to do in our Uchiha Autonomous Region?"
Scarlet bloomed, and fellow Uchiha Naki also showed a fighting posture when he was angrily scolding.
"We are all ninjas of Konoha, don't hurt the harmony."
"Just wait here."
"This is an order."
The white-haired old man walked up and said without looking back.
That last sentence completely abandoned his usual gentle attitude and regained the dignity that belonged to Hokage.
Hearing this, the ANBU present naturally had no objections or resistance.
After Naishu, Xinyan, and Lin Huo glanced at each other, they also restrained their attitude of continuing to interfere.
Otherwise, things will get worse.
As the terrain climbed higher, the sound of water flow became clearer and clearer. It seemed that this was not just water flow.
And like, waterfall!
As the field of vision suddenly widened, a plummeting Nuo Da Waterfall came into view.
【how come? 】
But what really caught his eye was the pair of young men nestling in front of the waterfall.
【He is actually here! 】
For a moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't know whether to be grateful or annoyed.
If the other party is not there,
Then I have an honest reason to target this clan!
As for the reasons, they include but are not limited to rebelling against the village!
If the other party is there,
So it was more or less relieved. This proved that the message from the border was false. The other party did not have the ability to evade ANBU's eyes and penetrate the barrier to leave.
At the same time, the young man sitting on the edge of the cliff also sensed someone coming and slowly turned his cheek.
"Hey, you're here so late."
"Sandaime, you really don't understand amorous feelings."
