I, Hikaru Uchiha, join the chat group

After talking about the business.

Zhisui and others stood up and left one after another.

Uchiha Hikaru, on the other hand, stayed behind at Fugaku's warm invitation, preparing to taste Mikoto's craftsmanship.

While waiting for the meal to start, she randomly selected a few volumes from the pile of "Reading Reviews" and briefly glanced at them.

Hmm... I guess there shouldn't be any plagiarism from each other.

In fact, even if there is, it doesn't matter.

After all, there are only a few dozen young people in the Uchiha clan, and it is unrealistic to expect every clan member to become a top student. As long as the leaders like Shisui and Quan can be cultivated, it will be enough to support the facade, and the others should not be too stupid.

"Sniff, sniff-"

Uchiha Hikaru suddenly sniffed and looked up in the direction of the kitchen: "By the way, is today a special day? The food seems to be very rich?"

"This one……"

Fugaku hesitated for a moment and smiled: "Of course it's because of your return, Grandma-sama. In addition, there is another trivial matter... Inu Sasuke will enter the ninja school tomorrow. There will be a very grand ceremony then. It was the opening ceremony of school, so I asked Miqin to buy some more vegetables and meat to give him some nutrition."

"...school starts?"

Uchiha Hikaru was slightly startled.

The academic system of Konoha Ninja School is similar to that of modern society. It starts in August every year and has two semesters a year, as well as winter and summer vacations... However, the vacation time is relatively short, because the ninja school is a "military school" after all, which is different from modern obligations. Education is different. Even summer vacation was only invented in the past ten years.

"Unknowingly, almost a year has passed?"

Uchiha Hikari let out a breath, recalling the scene when he just woke up from the darkness and lifted up the coffin, and suddenly felt like he was in another world.

"Since Sasuke is going to school..."

"Then it should be the same for Naruto, right?"

Ok.

It seems that he came back at the right time.

According to convention, the entrance ceremony of the ninja school requires parents to accompany him. Since Minato is not here, he can only take charge of it as his "acting guardian".

I just hope that when Sarutobi Hiruzen delivers his speech at the ceremony, he won't be too wordy. She didn't have the patience to listen for long.

……

That night.

Uchiha Hikaru had a feast at Fugaku's house, and then returned to his own residence. He first started two shadow clones to clean the house and change the sheets, and then used his body to immerse himself into the depths of the "Sea of ​​Consciousness" and connected to Kumi. Contact Danzo Shimura.

After being promoted to the "Eternal Kaleidoscope", her pupil power has become much stronger than before.

When using the "remote Tsukuyomi" that uses engraving as a medium to directly pull people, it also becomes much smoother and smoother.

With just a flick of the eye, Danzo was already pulled into the Tsukuyomi space.

then……

"Tsk, tsk."

Uchiha Hikaru looked at Danzo, who was wearing a black and red cloud robe in front of him, and clicked his tongue for a moment before starting to ask about his "mission progress."

Danzo only joined the Akatsuki organization more than half a month ago.

The person responsible for picking him up was a man wearing a Uzumaki mask on his face - Obito who called himself "Uchiha Madara".

Payne, the nominal leader of the Akatsuki organization, did not appear.

——This is inevitable.

Danzo and Hanzo were the culprits who destroyed the first Akatsuki organization and led to Yahiko's death. Although this scapegoat was mainly carried by Sanshouyu Hanzo, and the latter had been killed by Nagato, Danzo was also the object of resentment by Nagato and Konan. Being able to let him join Akatsuki is already the ultimate concession that Nagato can make. If he comes to greet him in person again... Nagato will probably be unable to help but kill Danzo on the spot.

Perhaps for this reason, Danzo was prohibited from approaching the Rain Hidden Village, and no detailed information about the Akatsuki organization was revealed.

But the partner still has arrangements.

"It's Loquat Juzo, the rebel ninja of Kirigakure Village, the master of the beheading sword. I'm temporarily working with him." Danzo said.

"Oh."

Uchiha Hikari nodded in understanding.

She knew that Loquat Juzo was one of the weakest members of the Akatsuki organization. He was not even strong enough to be at the Kage level and could only be regarded as an elite Jonin. She wasn't even interested in taking action against him.

"What else do you know about the movements of the Akatsuki organization?"

Faced with Uchiha Hikaru's inquiry, Danzo hesitated for a moment before saying: "One thing... I'm not sure. The Akatsuki organization seems to have been to the Kingdom of Ghosts several times recently, and there was a group of people called the 'Yellow Spring Sect' there. People have contacts. In addition, they may have tried to contact Orochimaru."

"Ok?"

Uchiha Hikaru raised his eyebrows slightly.

Orochimaru is indeed one of the original members of the Akatsuki organization.

In the plot line in which she did not appear, Orochimaru took the initiative to contact the Akatsuki organization because he coveted Pain's Samsara Eye. Then he was hammered by the latter, joined Akatsuki, and soon after was hammered by Itachi, and defected from Akatsuki... There is such a relationship, plus Orochimaru is the "Konoha S-class rebel ninja" Considering the cards, it’s not surprising that the Akatsuki organization is targeting him in turn.

but……

Ghost country? Huangquan Sect?

If I remember correctly, there seems to be something called a "monster" there. Is it the target that the Akatsuki organization wants to conquer?

This is a piece of information worth paying attention to...

Judging from the original plot, the "monster" seems to be very unusual. Not only did he kill the former miko of the Demon Country, but he also almost killed the fifteen-year-old Naruto.

For Esdeath... he should be a good opponent.

At that moment, Uchiha Hikari gave Danzo a few words of advice and then dismissed Tsukuyomi.

Then he carried his clothes to the bathroom, took a shower and went to bed.

……

Time flies to the next day.

Naruto was still in his dazed sleep when he was woken up by the barking of a dog. When he opened his eyes, he saw the white rice cake lying next to his pillow, barking and licking the side of his face. The short tail almost turned into a propeller.

After more than half a year.

These two ninja dogs from the Inuzuka clan have nearly doubled in size. The white rice cake is very lively every day and takes Naruto out for a few hours of walking, but the black dough still has that wilted look, and won't stand if it can lie down, and won't walk if it can stand.

"Nian Gao, stop making trouble...your saliva is dripping on the sheets!"

"...It's already this hour, no, no, no, we're going to be late!"

Naruto rubbed his eyes, and after seeing the time on the alarm clock clearly, he hurriedly got up, put on his clothes, and walked to the bathroom.

Brush your teeth, wash your face, comb your hair.

During this process, Naruto subconsciously glanced at the cubicle in the corner of the living room, as if expecting a certain figure he had been with day and night to come out of there.

but……

Nothing happened.

"..."

Naruto lowered his eyebrows in frustration, made himself a sandwich to eat, drank a bottle of milk, and went out wearing goggles.

All the way to the ninja school.
