Tossing and turning, looking around blankly.
Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night for the ninjas of Konoha.
And this sleepless night of tossing and waking up is not because the sinful demon fox boy stole the [Sealed Book]; nor is it because the 'Iwagakure Village' that we have repaired with our side in recent years has secretly infiltrated into the Hokage-sama's direct subordinates. In the dark part.
Or,
These things that should have shocked them, made them vigilant, and alarmed them, became irrelevant and unworthy of mentioning under the strong return of that person!
Those scarlet eyes exuding terrifying pressure,
In addition to the full body, not even the detonating talisman can shake the slightest amount of substantial energy!
powerful,
powerful.
powerful!
Except for these two most direct words, they really couldn't find any other adjective to describe the young man who returned through the night.
even,
Even words like powerful seem pale and too simplistic.
Uchiha Ara,
Is that the savior sent by God to restore Uchiha?
Recalling the boys and girls behind him, recalling their unruliness, recalling their absolute trust and common hatred.
For a moment, all the Konoha ninjas who witnessed all this were brought back to their youth, to the time when they had jointly performed missions with this clan and fought bloody battles together.
yes,
This clan is arrogant and somewhat inhumane.
Moreover, the sense of family honor and belonging to a big family also made that group of lunatics line up and create an insurmountable gap between them and ordinary families and ordinary ninjas.
But there is no doubt that becoming teammates and comrades with those lunatics is the most reliable and trustworthy thing.
Proud, strong,
Whether facing danger or direct fierce battle, they will be the group at the front.
Such traits are unmatched by the group of bellicose lunatics in Kirigakure Village.
But for some reason, when they saw such a powerful companion gradually climbing up from the bottomless abyss, the first thing they felt was not excitement or congratulations, but an inexplicable panic and even fear.
Although the clan under the leadership of Uchiha Ara did not show any struggle for power, nor did the clan members fight with others for no reason.
But the more this happens, the more peaceful the surface is, the more this feeling of uneasiness and panic becomes.
It's not that they are sure that the Uchiha clan will repeat their past struggle for power, or even start an active rebellion.
Just saying,
This ancient family, which was isolated in the far corner of the village, became more and more alienated from them and the entire village.
Except for the Kurama clan, which is also a family of illusions, and can interact and interact with Uchiha to a certain extent in daily life, no one can truly enter the world of these people.
Including, Lord Sandaime Hokage.
[Uchiha, it seems that he is no longer the Uchiha of Konoha. 】
Um,
It was probably such a somewhat overwhelming thought that could not help but arise in the hearts of every Konoha ninja who had witnessed tonight's 'farce'.
Such a sense of helplessness,
It's like when we had him in the past, he abandoned him and disliked him in every possible way because of various trivial matters; but when the other person showed alienation because of this attitude, he seemed extremely flustered, annoyed and regretful.
[It won’t happen, right?]
[No matter how you say it, Konoha is the hometown of that clan, and it was jointly created by that clan and the Senju. 】
[Even though there are rumors that Uchiha Madara, a god-like existence, is leaving, he has not been able to take this clan away. 】
[So, it won’t happen, right?]
[Probably not? 】
but,
They once believed that no one could destroy the symbolic Konoha Gate and then leave like no one was doing anything wrong.
But now,
That portal has been chopped into pieces twice,
And the people who chopped it into pieces were from the tribe that established this ninja village.
【can you? 】
[The day we parted ways. 】
This should have been a definite answer, but there was no answer after the Konoha ninjas saw the sawdust on the ground and the ruins with traces of flames remaining.
Do not allow ninjas who have returned from a mission to enter your village for a while.
It even took a lot of trouble to inform the Hokage and get permission.
Applying this attitude to the clan leader and the descendants of the founders of this village resulted in the very symbolic door being broken.
Whose fault is this?
It's really hard to explain.
Rules and sophistication are, to some extent, opposites.
But one thing is inevitable,
The joke of having his clan's door chopped into pieces by a blade because he prevented the clan leader from returning late at night will surely spread throughout the ninja world tomorrow.
And the communicators are those busybodies who got up and stayed in the fringe areas after hearing the news, as well as spies from other countries with ulterior motives.
And this worry, this inexplicable fear is not only transmitted among ordinary ninjas, but also...
"Captain Xiang, [Li] and I want to quit the ANBU and become a team teacher like Hatake Kakashi-senpai, or an ordinary ninja."
When these words rang out in the ANBU preparation room, everyone present stopped what they were doing.
Confusion, disbelief, anger, and a moment of resonance were revealed in the eyes of these assassins hiding in the darkness.
After all, in the final analysis, they are not the root, they are not brainwashed into killing tools without any ability to think for themselves or any sense of self-discrimination.
"Um?"
"What? Are you afraid of death?"
"Or have you forgotten the vow you made in front of Hokage-sama?"
"Or are you dissatisfied with me?"
"If you want to voluntarily quit the ANBU, you two are the first to do so since the ANBU was established."
As the words were pushed back, the voice of the white-robed [Xiang] became louder and louder, adding a hint of harshness and anger to the words.
He was really angry and depressed tonight.
He was also clearly aware of the inner suffering and sadness of the two people in front of him.
but,
As the captain of the ANBU, how could he reveal any dissatisfaction and thoughts towards that person?
"No, it's not."
"We, like [Owl] and [Iwajak], are willing to die for Konoha and Hokage-sama."
Hearing such remarks, [Tong Yue] seemed to be stimulated to the weakest point in his heart, and he instantly ignored the identity of the captain in front of him and roared.
The veins on his forehead and the bloodshot eyes that filled his eyes clearly showed his current state of collapse.
after all,
The feeling of watching a teammate you have been with day and night die in front of your eyes, but being unable to do anything about it, is really despairing! !
It seemed that after venting, [Tong Yue] also felt that his words and emotions were inappropriate, so he softened his voice and added:
"only,"
"I just don't want to die in such a humiliating way again."
"Captain Xiang, I really don't know why we do this kind of work every day?"
"Spying on the Yondaime's son, Uzumaki Naruto, and then being labeled as a member of Iwagakure Village and forced to die?"
He had tried his best to calm down his emotions, but when he thought about the fate and outcome of his two teammates, an uncontrollable pain surged crazily in his heart, causing his emotions and voice to fluctuate violently again.
When hot,
What really made him and [Li] feel unacceptable was probably the attitude of that adult.
As the Uchiha clan leader said:
Other people's children can be left alone and ignored.
At best, let it grow freely, but at worst, let it grow wildly and serve as a container for the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki.
However, when it comes to his own heirs and descendants, his face suddenly changes and he suddenly compromises!
Such an attitude is really chilling.
What's more, even though they had promised to forget their own lives and give up their futures when they entered ANBU, all for the sake of Konoha's promise,
However, no matter what, people like them are still loved by their parents.
If the true fate of [Rock Bird] and [Owl] were told to their relatives, would those elderly people accept it?
In the beginning, they agreed that their children would enter the ANBU, which was in great danger, in order to protect Konoha!
But now,
What do they do every day?
Monitor the fourth generation orphan, Uzumaki Naruto, and monitor the Uchiha clan who belong to the same force.
Don't say anything, this is for internal stability.
No matter who it is, no matter which family it is,
Being mistrusted day after day and being ostracized for a long time, even if you don't have second thoughts, you will be forced to have other emotions, right?
"Sure enough, compare with such a mission and such an end."
"As an ordinary ninja, dying in the mission is acceptable."
[Tong Yue] said a little lost.
But when these words fell on [Xiang]'s ears, they seemed to have touched a taboo, making the emotions accumulated in his eyes become even colder.
The ANBU will not be able to keep a guy who confuses the public, disrupts morale, and disturbs the morale of the army with such monstrous words.
At the same time, ANBU members who were still awake and absolutely loyal to the Sandaime quietly moved to the door of the lounge and blocked the only exit.
After all, how could it be possible for ANBU members to easily return to the lives of ordinary ninjas?
What's more, the will of these two people has become unstable, and coupled with the countless secrets they have learned after being in the ANBU for so many years, it is even more difficult for them to retreat easily!
The reason why the former Hatake Kakashi was able to leave the ANBU was because of the order personally issued by the Hokage.
Before this, no ANBU member had left the department alive.
If there is,
That was also a rebellious ninja who was ordered to be hunted down like Uchiha Itachi!
"Captain Xiang, what does this mean?"
[Li], who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up, breaking this somewhat delicate situation.
After all, those who can enter the ANBU are elites selected from ordinary ninjas, and they naturally have a clear understanding of subtle changes in the surrounding environment.
After being reminded by his teammates, [Tong Yue] also discovered his companions who had blocked the only exit and made a defensive posture without leaving any trace.
This unspecified but real hostility made his sad mood become extremely agitated.
【do what? 】
【What is this? 】
[They and Li just want to leave ANBU, want to return to the ordinary ninja team, and want to forget their current life and everything they have experienced tonight. 】
[This is neither giving up my identity as a ninja, nor leaving the village, nor wanting to defect! 】
[It’s just that I just want to change my lifestyle. 】
But even such a small request was treated with such clear boundaries.
Suddenly, he began to understand the rejection the Uchiha clan felt.
The past of being monitored every day is simply an inhumane life! !
"Captain Xiang, did we do something wrong?"
[Tong Yue] withdrew his gaze and asked with complicated words. His blood-red pupils were staring fiercely at the person in front of him through the mask.
What can be distinguished is that a touch of disappointment has gradually eliminated the original respect in his tone.
"No."
"It's just that I think you should clearly understand what responsibilities you have to bear and bear when you are in the ANBU."
"Leaving at will may have too great consequences and impact."
"I hope you can be sensible."
[Xiang] said coldly, those words as calm as boiled water, as if the person he was talking to now was not a comrade, but a partner.
But strangers who may become enemies!
"You don't trust us?"
"After so many years of getting along, you don't trust us!"
Hearing these distant words, [Tong Yue] couldn't control his emotions and growled and questioned.
But such emotions were not able to sway the other party at all.
"childish."
"It seems that you have not understood the responsibilities of ANBU all these years!"
[Xiang]'s voice was still cold, and there was even a clear coldness in the corners of his eyes.
Such two subordinates,
No, these two guys are completely unworthy of existing in ANBU.
If it weren't for the fact that there were other newly promoted Anbu bloods in the scene, he really wouldn't mind directly eradicating these two disturbing bastards for the Hokage.
"What's more, if you don't think about how to avenge [Rock Bird] and [Owl], you still have the face..."
Looking at these two former subordinates in his field of vision, [Xiang] felt colder in his heart.
Just when he mentioned the word 'revenge', his voice suddenly became stiff.
revenge,
Revenge to whom?
That crazy Uchiha Ara?
If they were really bloody, why didn't they stand up, defend and fight for [Rock Bird] and [Owl] when they died in humiliation?
Is it really for the greater good?
Or did you feel afraid when you faced that young man?
It seems that when that little bastard appeared in the public eye, he became a lingering shadow of ANBU!
From [Taka]'s right hand being brutally lost, to the ANBU team that went to the Sarutobi clan to stop the fighting being easily pushed aside, to none of the ANBU members who went with him to Amegakure Village back, to today, [Iwajak] and the death of [Owl].
Facing that madman, ANBU has been swallowing the bitter pill! !
revenge.
What to use for revenge?
For a moment, [Xiang], who was the head of the ANBU, fell into a self-contradictory silence.
