After a week of sailing at sea, Zhixue returned to the coast of the Country of Fire on a merchant ship. During this period, he experienced several pirate attacks, but they were basically just side dishes and were solved in a matter of seconds.

Sneaking off the boat, Zhixue breathed in the fresh air of the Land of Fire and instantly felt much more comfortable.

I am still used to being on land, this down-to-earth feeling.

Zhixue originally planned to visit the nearby Land of Waves, but gave up after considering that the plot mission might not be triggered.

There may be rich rewards in the main storyline. Come back when the time comes. There are still three or two years before the night when the Uchiha clan was exterminated. Her current combat power has increased enough to cope with it. The only thing that needs to be careful is Obito. .

Konoha Village...

Uchiha Sasuke was still practicing hard on throwing and using shurikens in the backyard. The large beads of sweat on his forehead and the scratches on his hands made Mikoto feel a little distressed.

"Sasuke, please rest for a while."

"No, Mom, I have to become stronger! Only then can I protect my family." Sasuke felt the pain in his body but still trained tirelessly.

He originally only practiced hard because of his brother's dazzling light and strived to gain the recognition of his father and clan members. However, after the death of Sister Zhixue, Sasuke's ideas seemed to have changed slightly.

That is, he cannot protect his family without strength. He must train to become the strongest ninja in Konoha Village, so that no one dares to attack his family.

In the corridor of the mansion, Fugaku, who had just returned from handling the security affairs, happened to see Sasuke's hard training, but he only glanced at him with an unchanging expression and left here.

Little Sasuke:!?

Damn it, are you being underestimated? The results of his training will definitely impress his father!

Fugaku came to the living room of his home with a straight face, where Uchiha One to Seven was already waiting for him.

"The police force has had several inexplicable conflicts with civilians in recent days. Many of them have the shadow of ANBU. Do you know about this?"

Fugaku looked at the faces of One Dozen Seven, but unfortunately, he still had a paralyzed expression, and no expression could be seen.

One dozen seven shook their heads and did not answer Fugaku's question.

Fugaku stared closely at Itachi's dark eyes, as if they were sinking into a whirlpool.

"Well, I guess I won't get any useful information from you. Just make your own choice. Also... Sasuke is almost old enough to go to school, so go through the admission procedures for him."

Fugaku said a few dull words and left, and Itachi also looked at the figure who was practicing diligently in the backyard.

Regardless of whether Sasuke is allowed to enroll in school, the current atmosphere in the clan is no longer suitable for him to stay here for a long time. I hope he can have a happy childhood without depression and shadow.

Hokage Building...

Sarutobi Hiruzen had just returned from giving a lecture on the Will of Fire at the ninja school when he saw where the barrier ninja team responsible for setting up Konoha's barrier was standing.

"Sandaime-sama."

"You don't appear here often. Did something major happen?" Hiruzen Sarutobi returned to his seat and took a puff of his cigarette.

"Lord Hokage, the barrier around Konoha has been flickering several times recently. It seems that something external has broken in, and it has been coming in and out very frequently." The barrier ninja wearing a white robe of seals unfolded the map on put it on the table and explained to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Something from outside?"

"Yes." The white-robed ninja formed seals with his hands. A burst of red light flashed on the map. In an instant, several red dots were marked on it. Among them, they were visible to the naked eye in various places in Konoha. Among them, they appeared most frequently. The places are the Uchiha clan and Konoha's Martyrs Cemetery.

"How come they are in these two places?" Sarutobi Hiruzen exhaled a smoke ring and looked a little weird. It is indeed possible for the Uchiha clan. After all, their clan has gradually become alienated from Konoha, and even launched a coup. It’s not impossible, but why is there a Martyrs Cemetery?

It was a place constructed by Konoha, so there couldn't be any secrets there.

"I don't know, the enemy's methods seem to be very clever. If it weren't for the regular scanning of the barrier, this guy might not be found. At present, it seems that there are only two possibilities for the enemy to appear. One is to freely enter and exit Konoha's barrier, like a string of The door to your own home is as simple as that, but the probability is very small, and the other possibility is a rare type of time and space ninjutsu."

"Are you talking about the Flying Thunder God Technique?" Hiruzen Sarutobi squinted his eyes and looked at the fourth statue on the Hokage Rock in the distance.

"Not sure, but it may be a similar ability, so we need to be more careful, Sandaime-sama."

"Well, what you said makes sense." Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded in agreement, and then prepared to hand over this task to One to Seven.

As the son of the clan leader, he has access to many places in the clan, so this should be the most convenient to investigate.

……

Roots... It's obviously daytime, but the airtight place here seems to have been plunged into darkness. The only company accompanying everyone is the sound of footsteps coming from the steel plate and the sound of various killing skills training.

Danzo turned his back to the sky burial, and saw through the window the bustling and vibrant Konoha corner of the outside world.

"A, do you think Konoha is beautiful now?" Danzo's unsolicited words made Tian Zang stunned.

"Well, it's very beautiful. After all, Konoha is the most developed ninja village in the five major countries."

Danzo nodded with satisfaction after hearing A's answer.

"That's right. Konoha is naturally the most powerful and richest ninja village among the five major countries, but do you know the reason why Konoha is so strong?" Danzo said in a low voice, while also observing The facial changes of the sky burial at this time.

"Of course our ninjas are strong enough and the ancestors of Konoha have laid a good foundation for us." Sky Burial replied subconsciously, but Danzo refuted it.

"No, this is certainly one of the factors that make Konoha strong. In addition, there is something else. That is darkness, the root under the towering tree. It does not need a name or a bottom line. It only needs to be crazy from other places. The roots of trees or the roots of fallen leaves on the ground absorb nutrients! Only by reaching this level of unreasonable means can the benefits of Konoha's growth be maximized."

"A, you are my favorite subordinate. I will concentrate resources to train you into a sharp blade that can cut iron like mud, but you should not forget your responsibility as a sharp blade."

Sky Burial looked at Danzo with some confusion. He naturally knew the root rules, but...

"Do you feel regretful or sad about the death of Uchiha Zhiyuki?" Danzo looked at the sky burial and didn't seem to understand. He knocked on the floor and said in a more direct way.

"Zhi Xue?" Danzo could clearly see Sky Burial's pupils trembling.

You know, the root does not allow things like emotions to appear, including love, friendship, sympathy and other worthless emotions. As a qualified root, you only need to obey his orders, but A is obviously moving towards a path. There is no return, and disobedient subordinates need to be disciplined and disciplined...
