Chapter 172 Leaving Hometown on a Moonlit Night (Page 12)

"Well, according to the original plan, I have to leave now.

"Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be too late."

Uchiha Sasuke turned around, facing away from Jiraiya.

The voice sounded slightly nasal.

Jiraiya nodded and said no more.

He just walked forward and patted Sasuke on the shoulder from behind.

"Take care of yourself."

Uchiha Sasuke did not look back, but patted Jiraiya's big hand on his shoulder as if to comfort him.

Immediately, he strode out of the study without looking back.

He returned to his bedroom and put the backpack he had prepared on his back.

Immediately afterwards, Sasuke took off his forehead protector, tied it to his arm casually, turned around and left this place where he had lived for a long time and was full of warmth and comfort.

When he walked out of the bedroom and passed Naruto's room, Sasuke hesitated for a moment and finally opened the door.

Through the moonlight, I saw Naruto sleeping soundly with the quilt in his arms.

On top of his head, he still wore the black mole nightcap.

Sasuke smiled, took a quick glance, closed the door and backed out.

It's time to leave.

In Sasuke's heart, all the farewells had been completed during last night's dinner.

Under the moonlight, Sasuke opened the door and left, walking towards the outside of the village.

Behind him, Jiraiya appeared quietly on the roof of the Hokage's house, silently watching his disciple leave.

After an unknown amount of time, another figure quietly appeared next to Jiraiya.

I saw that the man was wearing an Anbu outfit and a mask on his head. The corners of the mask's mouth were pointed, like a mouse.

There are light yellow patterns printed on both sides of the cheeks.

The mask's eyes are narrowed, with red eye lines, and a thin dark line is drawn at the corner of the mouth.

After sensing the appearance of this person, Jiraiya did not show any unexpected emotions.

Even, his eyes were still fixed on the direction Sasuke left without looking back.

But he said:

"Alocust, I'll leave Sasuke to you next."

Under the mask, Uchiha Itachi looked painful and said:

"Hokage-sama, why do you just refuse to agree to let me handle this matter?"

“The last time I gave you full authority to handle the matter, you did a really good job.

"So beautiful that Sasuke lost his home."

Jiraiya replied coldly.

Uchiha Itachi felt ashamed, but he still held his neck and continued:

"But this time is different from before. Orochimaru is just a defeated general of mine. If you really..."

"Have you forgotten the promise you made to Sasuke?"

Jiraiya asked rhetorically.

Inadvertently, he had regained his usual majesty as the Fifth Hokage, completely unlike the one he had just shown in front of Sasuke.

"You told me personally that you would choose to believe in Sasuke's own strength and respect all his choices.

"What else can I say? I look forward to seeing his achievements and growth."

Jiraiya paused, turned his head to look at Uchiha Itachi, and asked with a strange look on his face:

"I noticed that your words sound like farts?"

"Precisely because he is my favorite brother, I will not let him go into danger alone."

Under the mask, Uchiha Itachi's face turned purple when Jiraiya said it, and he lowered his voice to defend himself:

"Maybe you don't understand the connection between blood relatives."

Jiraiya turned around, stopped looking at him, stared at Sasuke's leaving back again, and said calmly:

"This is the biggest difference between you and me.

"So, Sasuke lives with me. And you, like a rat in the sewer, can only spy on his achievements and happiness from a distance."

"Lord Hokage!"

Nowadays, not being able to live with Sasuke is Uchiha Itachi's biggest pain.

After Jiraiya directly pointed out the pain point, Uchiha Itachi suddenly felt angry in his heart.

However, the awe of the position of Hokage in his bones made him dare not attack easily, so he had to hold back a burst of internal injuries.

"Alocust, you should feel satisfied. At least, I am willing to take risks now and give you a chance to protect Sasuke secretly."

Sasuke's figure has gradually disappeared.

Jiraiya turned around again, looked at Uchiha Itachi calmly, and said:

"If you follow that child's wishes completely, you know what your life will be like."

"I see."

Uchiha Itachi nodded, his tone full of disappointment.

I thought about my situation over and over in my mind, and had to admit that what Jiraiya said was right.

"Thank you, Hokage-sama."

Uchiha Itachi knelt down on one knee. In order to keep this opportunity to protect his younger brother secretly, he once again prostrated himself in front of Jiraiya.

"Go ahead. If something happens to Sasuke, you don't have to come back."

After leaving these words coldly, Jiraiya turned over and jumped down, leaving the roof of the Hokage's house.

Behind him, Uchiha Itachi sighed, and the next second, he also disappeared.

Only a patch of moonlight remained.

The spring night is gentle, and the moonlight shines like water in the quiet and peaceful Konoha Ginnin Village, covering everything with a soft veil.

The Hokage Yanyan statues from the first to the fifth generation silently watch this land, just like every night in the past.

Uchiha Sasuke put his hands in his pockets and walked quietly on the road in the village alone.

Walking past the swing outside the ninja school wall, past the closed Ichiraku Ramen stall, across the stone bridge over the Konoha River, and walked quietly towards the outside of the village.

Passing by the open-air park on the outskirts of the village, at the end of the curved stone road, a girl's figure walked out with firm steps.

Sasuke was startled.

Late at night, everyone in the village should have gone to bed.

At this time, how could anyone still be wandering around in a place like this?

Through the moonlight, Sasuke saw.

The girl was wearing a cheongsam and had her hair combed into two buns. She was also carrying a packed bag behind her and stood directly in front of Sasuke.

"Tiantian? It's so late, what are you doing here?"

Uchiha Sasuke asked guiltily after recognizing the girl.

At this moment, the person he least knew how to face was Hinata Neji's lover and classmate, Tianten.

"This is the only way out of the village. I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Tiantian answered with his head held high.

"What are you waiting for me to do? Go back to sleep."

Uchiha Sasuke pretended to be cold, bypassed Tenten, and continued walking outside the village.

“Sure enough, you boys are so self-righteous!

"Why didn't you tell me?!"

Tiantian asked angrily.

The last sentence seemed to be asking Hinata Neji from afar.
