Uchiha's Blade

When Mana visited Nagato again, Nagato's place was already quite large.

It was probably Orochimaru's approach that inspired Nagato. After giving up his previous plan, he actually followed Orochimaru's approach of adopting orphans.

The person who manages money for Nagato is still Kakuzu.

To be honest, Kakuzu is really good at managing money.

Except this time when Mana appeared, he happened to meet him face to face, causing Kakuzu's face to look very ugly.

Zhenna smiled and said, "Don't be like this. I don't even intend to settle old scores with you. That's a lot of money."

Kakuzu's voice was hard: "What are you doing here?"

He had guessed before that there was some kind of connection between Nagato and Konoha. Now seeing Mana with his own eyes only further confirmed this connection.

But even if he had some speculation, Kakuzu was still frightened by it.

He had thought that the relationship between Nagato and Konoha wasn't that close yet.

Nagato has betrayed the allies he had worked with for many years and completely overturned his previous beliefs. Who can he trust now?

But Mana showed up.

Uchiha Mana is the Hokage.

Naruto appears in Nagato's base, so do we need to say more about how close the relationship between Nagato's new organization 'Colorless' and Konoha is?

Mana didn't care much about Kakuzu's face. She never thought Kakuzu could do anything big.

He doesn't have that kind of mind and structure.

Kakuzu was an active ninja at the same time as the First Hokage. However, the First Hokage became the 'God of Ninja'. Even Mana, who was just a little girl at the time, is now a top powerhouse. He is the Hokage of Konoha, and Kakuzu is What?

He first worked for the Akatsuki Organization, and now he works for the Colorless Organization. The bosses of the organization are all 'kids' who are less than half his age.

Mana does not deny that Kakuzu has strength. If all the strong men in the ninja world were pulled out and ranked, Kakuzu would definitely be in the top half of the list. But if you want to do something, you must not only have strength, but also have vision and means. Kakuzu is here Too much is missing on the last two points.

Or maybe he saw too clearly the gap between himself and a strong man like the First Hokage, which caused him to completely lose his ambition and only money could comfort him.

Mana doesn't care much about what Kakuzu thinks, but Kakuzu can't help but care about her.

Looking at Mana's face, which hasn't changed much from before, she still looks so young and full of life, but what about Kakuzu?He is almost rotten and old.

Perhaps the First Hokage died, but Kakuzu lived to this day. This incident once brought him a little comfort, feeling that he was not completely defeated in front of the First Hokage, but now, when he looked at Uchiha Mana, Kakuzu understands what true despair is.

There are such geniuses in the world. They are so blessed by God that they make all the efforts of others worthless.

Compared with Uchiha Mana, Kakuzu has been wronged by dogs in the past few decades.

Therefore, facing Mana, Kakuzu's mood was particularly complicated.

It wasn't until Mana turned a corner and disappeared that he slowly turned around and walked in the other direction.

It's a pity that the small amount of money in the suitcase that originally brought him infinite happiness has now become worse than dirt.

Not happy at all.

He walked out and happened to meet Deidara walking in.

Deidara was still young, and he was originally absorbed into the Akatsuki organization more because of his potential than his strength, thinking that he could grow into a very powerful ninja in the future.

But right now, Deidara is still a very annoying little kid who talks a lot of nonsense.

Kakuzu looked at the blond-haired Deidara and thought, it's strange. He is obviously about the same age, but he would never dare to put the word 'little brat' on Uchiha Mana, let alone say it out loud. Not even thinking about it in my mind.

So he understood that the first Hokage did leave a deep psychological shadow on him, and Uchiha Mana inherited this shadow and expanded the area of ​​​​the shadow.

Deidara saw Kakuzu carrying a suitcase and looked at him with a gloomy expression. There was no smile on his face, no warmth in his eyes, and he didn't even say a word. In addition, Kakuzu's appearance was not very good-looking. , suddenly felt that this scene was a bit scary.

He asked curiously: "Why do you look at me like that? You came from Nagato. Could it be that he wants to send me a mission?"

Deidara has always wanted to express himself. He is extremely talented and powerful, and he does have something to be proud of.

But since Nagato changed his temper, he suddenly felt the need to protect children, and easily refused to send dangerous tasks to Deidara. Instead, he only asked him to do things like escorting and delivering letters. Deidara had been dissatisfied with this for a long time.

He is already a traitor!He also joined an organization with many powerful rebellious ninjas!Why are you still doing the mail delivery mission?

Was this task rarely done in the village before?

"I didn't defect just to make trouble for the ninja world!"

However, Kakuzu snorted at this time and said with ill intentions: "Nagato has guests now, you'd better not go there, otherwise you may lose the confidence to be a ninja."

They are both geniuses. Look how much worse you are as a genius in Iwa Ninja Village than in Konoha!

Deidara didn't realize Kakuzu's hidden malice at all. He became even more interested when he heard Kakuzu say this: "There are guests? I can't meet him yet? How powerful is he?"

Kakuzu said: "You are about the same age, but are you strong..."

Deidara was immediately unconvinced: "I want to see who that person is!"

Kakuzu stopped him: "What are you going to do now? That's Nagato's guest."

Although Nagato lost the Rinnegan, his strength was not weak at all. Even without the drag of the Rinnegan, he gradually took advantage of the Uzumaki clan's powerful vitality and gradually recovered his health. He is strong and has a good temper. Well, he was both majestic and approachable to a kid like Deidara. Deidara didn't say anything, but he was very close to Nagato in his heart and wanted to treat him as an elder.

Besides, are there any really impulsive and ignorant children in the ninja world?The kind of kid who doesn't live long.

Deidara was still a rebellious nin, so he wouldn't be like that.

After hearing what Kakuzu said, he said: "Then I'll wait here for him to come out. I want to see what kind of person you can use to laugh at me."

Kakuzu said: "I advise you to do the best."

He had been a shadow of the first generation for a lifetime, so it was better for Deidara not to see Uchiha Mana.

Kakuzu felt that he was not a good person, and he could just make a few jokes and sarcastic remarks to vent his frustration, but if Deidara were to let him go, he wouldn't be able to do that.

But if Deidara had listened, he wouldn't have become a rebellious nin.

So Deidara waited here.

Kakuzu sighed: "I don't care about you anymore."

He didn't want to see Uchiha Mana again.

So when Mana and Nagato came out together after talking about the matter, they saw a blond child squatting outside.

Zhenna asked: "Is this also the child you adopted recently?"

Nagato shook his head: "It looks like Deidara."

I called him over and saw that it was indeed Deidara.

Mana had seen Deidara's information, but wasn't very familiar with it. She remembered it as soon as Nagato mentioned it.

Deidara also recognized Mana: "You are Uchiha Mana, the Hokage of Konoha!"

Zhenna said: "You know me? Because of the Red Sand Scorpion?"

Deidara actually has a good relationship with the Red Sand Scorpion. When he newly joined the Akatsuki organization, he asked the Red Sand Scorpion to lead him. The Red Sand Scorpion had a bad temper, but he never bullied him, and he did his best as a teammate and The responsibility of seniors.

Deidara said: "I didn't say that."

It's not like he really doesn't understand anything.

Mana returned the Red Sand Scorpion to the Sand Ninja Village, which was already very merciful.

Nagato asked: "You waited here specially to find something for me?"

Deidara said: "Uncle Kakuzu said that you were meeting a guest. He also said that when I saw this guest, I lost my confidence in being a ninja. It turns out that your guest is her!"

Deidara originally thought that no matter what kind of genius he saw, he would not admit defeat, so he would definitely be able to say a few words, but when he saw Uchiha Mana, he couldn't say anything.

This really doesn't compare.

If Uchiha Mana is used as a comparison object, how many people in the ninja world are not autistic?no?

Nagato said: "Are you waiting just to take a look at my guest?"

Deidara said: "I also want to say, don't send me any more tasks such as escorting and delivering letters. I heard from Sister Xiaonan that now our colorless organization's foundation is unstable and we need to do more accumulation. I'm so A powerful ninja, why don't you do anything? You even let that weak brat Shiro go on missions with Zabuza!"

Nagato said: "How can I trust you to go on a mission alone when you are like this? Now we don't have enough manpower and can't work in pairs."

And Deidara was still a rebellious ninja in the Iwa Ninja Village.

No village would let go of its own rebellious ninja.

Of course, the exception is the powerful.

Just like in the past many years, Konoha didn't care much about killing Orochimaru, and the Sand Ninja Village didn't care much about chasing the Red Sand Scorpion, because the price to pay was too high, and it was not worth destroying the village. The power is wasted on such things.

But Deidara was different.

He has talent and potential, and will definitely become a powerful ninja in the future, but he is not yet, which means that the Iwa Ninja Village will be happy to kill him before he grows up.

Nagato was naturally worried about Deidara going out alone.

Zhenna said: "Do you think you are powerful now?"

Deidara snorted: "I won't compete with you."

It's rare for him to give in. It's really hard to compare with Mana. No matter how he compares, he will always lose.

...You can't knead clay with Mana, right?Then he might win.

Mana said: "I'm not talking about the present, but the future. Strong ninjas are not born, nor are they given by others. They need to be accumulated through hard work."

If this kind of truth is the same, others will definitely roll their eyes when talking about Deidara, but when Uchiha Mana said this, it seemed very true, not empty or empty at all.

Mana continued: "You are young now. It is a good time to lay the foundation. Don't be too anxious."

Deidara said: "You are already the Hokage to say that."

Mana smiled and said: "It's not because I am Hokage that I can say this, but because I am like this, I can become Hokage. Don't get it the other way around."

After saying that, she said to Nagato: "Then, I will go back first, you...be careful of Orochimaru."

Orochimaru did not show up directly in the Kingdom of Water, and Mana suspected that he was still hiding in secret, maybe staring at Nagato.

Nagato said: "Compared to me, you need to be more careful, that one of you from Konoha..."

Zhenna smiled and said: "I know, his potential is worse than Jiaodu, what kind of trouble can he make."

When Nagato heard what she said, he shook his head helplessly: "Don't be careless."

Zhenna nodded casually: "I know, you have become more and more verbose recently. Xiaonan didn't even talk about you."

Nagato: "She said it was good for me to be like this, and she was very happy."

It's always better than before.

Mana: "..."

Fine.

After Mana returned to Konoha, she began to wait for news from the Kingdom of Water.

After beating up Uchiha Obito and Orochimaru, you can concentrate on Konoha's affairs!

However, before waiting for news from the Kingdom of Water, she first waited for Uchiha Shisui.

Uchiha Shisui was a little shy: "Mana-sama..."

Zhenna asked curiously: "What's wrong with you?"

Uchiha Shisui blushed: "Um, can you tell Chief Fugaku that I really... really don't want to get married so early."

Mana: "...getting married?"

Uchiha Shisui nodded: "Clan Chief Fugaku said that I am good at everything, but I am still too young, single, and have not married, so I give people an image of being unstable and unreliable. He said that I would introduce some girls to me. Let’s meet.”

Mana nodded: "It's almost the same indeed. Teacher Hashirama started thinking about starting a family at about the same age."

It's not easy to find a good girl, and it's even rarer to find someone like Mito Uzumaki, who has good family background, looks, temperament, and strength, and is right in everything.

So Mana asked: "Are you dissatisfied with the selection?"

Uchiha Shisui quickly shook his head: "No, no."

Uchiha Fugaku also took great pains to help him. He also analyzed in detail the more powerful elders in the family and their relationships, and then pointed out what each girl represented, and which one was more important to Shisui. It's beneficial, it can be said that it is very attentive.

It was just like this when the Senju clan selected Senju Hashirama.

Can……

Uchiha Shisui gritted his teeth: "But I already have someone I like!"

Now even Zhenna was surprised: "You have someone you like? Who is it?"

I haven't seen Shisui being particularly close to any girl in the clan.

As the next generation of Uchiha clan leader that Mana is optimistic about, Mana must know about Uchiha Shisui. If he has a girl close to him, Mana must know even more, because she is the future wife of the Uchiha clan leader.

But the fact is that Mana has never seen the suspected girl.

Uchiha Shisui blushed and said, "What you don't know is that I... that, am not in this world."

Zhenna was stunned for a moment, and then said after a long time: "You mean, the clan side? Who is that?"

Uchiha Shisui's face turned redder.

Teriya looked on from the side and finally spoke: "Mr. Shisui, you mean Miss Shinobi."

Uchiha Shisui nodded quickly.

Mana was pleasantly surprised now: "Is it Miss Shinobu? Shisui, you are worthy of our Uchiha, you have such good taste!"

Butterfly Ninko is really a woman that Mana admires.

Terurizai said: "How about we talk to Miss Shinobi about this next time."

Mana said: "I originally wanted to wait for Itachi to come back next time and let someone else go. It seems like it's better to just let Shisui go. Teruriya, you don't look surprised at all. Did you already know that?"

Teriya smiled slightly and said, "I have a little guess."

Otherwise, why did he deliberately make fun of Uchiha Shisui last time?

I thought that by saying that, Uchiha Shisui would think about it carefully and realize it earlier, but he didn't react at all. However, this time, the forced marriage within the clan went wrong, which made him understand his mind.

Zhenna said happily: "This is really a good thing. If Jing knew about it, he would definitely be happy."

After saying this, she said to Uchiha Shisui with a loving look: "Although Kagami is not here, you don't have any other relatives, but don't worry, you still have me. You are Kagami's descendant, so I naturally treat you as close to you. Of the juniors.”

Uchiha Shisui didn't feel anything was wrong. He nodded and said, "That's great if you say so."

Teriya watched the two people who went back to find the Butterfly Ninja after beating Uchiha Obito after the cheerful discussion, and sighed silently in his heart.

Uchiha Shisui understands here, but when will Mana get the idea?

worry.

We can't expect the Uchiha clan to force her into marriage.

Who dares!

After Uchiha Shisui left happily after having solved a problem on his mind, Teriya asked Mana: "Speaking of this, what kind of boy does Mana like?"

Mana thought for a while: "The kind that can catch Susanoo's punch. This kind of person is less likely to die."

Teriya: "......???"
