Black Naruto: Shadow Moon

Uchiha Yingyue felt a shock in his heart.

Yingyue didn't expect that Uzumaki Mito would entrust the entire Uzumaki clan to her. What a heavy responsibility this is! But Yingyue also understood that Uzumaki Mito was helpless and helpless at the moment. As the strongest person left in the Uzumaki clan, she could no longer bear this responsibility.

"Lord Mito, don't worry, I will do my best to protect the Uzumaki clan." Yingyue promised solemnly, "The Uzumaki clan has made great contributions to Konoha Village and the entire ninja world. I will never let their bloodline be cut off."

Uzumaki Mito showed a relieved smile on his face, with tears of gratitude in his eyes: "Kageyue, thank you... I believe that under your protection, the Uzumaki clan will be able to overcome this difficulty. The survivors of the Uzumaki clan will also fully support you, no matter what decision you make in the future."

Uchiha Yingyue nodded. Yingyue knew that this was not only a responsibility, but also a heavy trust.

After saying goodbye to Uzumaki Mito, Yingyue felt heavy and determined.

The future of the Uzumaki clan is still full of difficulties and challenges, but he has decided to live up to the trust of Lord Mito and shoulder the responsibility of protecting the Uzumaki clan.

"The bloodline of the Uzumaki clan cannot be wiped out like this," Yingyue swore secretly in her heart, "No matter what difficulties they encounter, I will do my best to protect them and help them stand up again."

From this day on, Yingyue felt more responsible and motivated.

His goal is not only to become a strong man in Konoha Village, but also to provide shelter for those who need protection.

Not long after, the top leaders of Konoha Village decided to visit Uzumaki Mito together.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzo, Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En, they all felt deep guilt in their hearts.

The Land of Whirlpools, as Konoha's long-term ally, was destroyed by the three major countries right under Konoha's nose. This was undoubtedly a major blow to Konoha Village, and it was also a serious questioning of the ability and responsibility of Konoha's high-level officials.

As the Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that he was to blame.

He knew that Konoha's failure to protect the Land of Whirlpools in time not only caused the Uzumaki clan to suffer a devastating disaster, but also caused Konoha Village to lose an important ally.

All this made him feel deeply guilty about the last wishes of Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju, and also made him feel extremely heavy when facing Uzumaki Mito.

"Miya-sama," Sarutobi Hiruzen stood in front of Uzumaki Mito and bowed deeply, his tone full of apology, "The matter of Whirlpool Country was our negligence. As an ally of Konoha, Whirlpool Country should have been better protected. We failed to fulfill our responsibilities, and we are sorry to you and Senju Hashirama-sama."

Beside them, Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En also bowed their heads and expressed their apologies: "Mito-sama, we are also deeply ashamed. We have always remembered your help to us. We failed to save the Whirlpool Country. We are really ashamed to face you and the ancestors of the Senju clan."

Although Danzo Shimura also felt guilty, he was more concerned about his own interests and position.

After all, as the leader of the Root, he has his own plans and ideas.

Although he expressed his apologies to Uzumaki Mito at this moment, he had other plans in his mind.

Although Uzumaki Mito was still heartbroken, she also knew that the mastermind behind this disaster was a joint conspiracy of the Hidden Cloud Village, the Hidden Iwa Village, and the Hidden Mist Village, and that Konoha Village had done its best to support the Land of Whirlpools.

Besides, as an old woman who had witnessed too many wars and deaths, she knew that blaming the Konoha high-level officials would not change the status quo.

She sighed, forced a smile, and slowly said: "Huruzen, Koharu, Kadoen, you don't have to blame yourselves. The joint attack of Kumogakure, Iwagakure, and Kirigakure on the Whirlpool Country was a conspiracy they had planned long ago, and Konoha has done its best. Although the destruction of the Whirlpool Country makes me sad, I will not blame you."

The Konoha high-ranking officials felt slightly comforted when they heard Uzumaki Mito's words of comfort.

But what Uzumaki Mito said next made them fall into deep thought.

"However, I need to tell you something." Uzumaki Mito's voice was a little serious, "I saw the potential of Uchiha Kagezuki. In this incident, Kagezuki showed rare courage and wisdom. He not only inherited the kindness and goodness of Senju Hashirama, but also possessed the decisiveness and insight of Senju Tobirama."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was slightly stunned. He was also quite impressed by Yingyue.

Yingyue not only possesses powerful Wood Release, but also demonstrates extraordinary leadership and wisdom.

Hearing Uzumaki Mito's comments, he nodded in agreement.

"Miyato-sama, Kagezuki is indeed a young man with great potential," said Sarutobi Hiruzen, "I also think that he may become an important pillar of Konoha in the future."

Uzumaki Mito nodded slightly, and continued: "Kagezuki not only inherited the Wood Release ability of the first Hokage, but in time, he may become a 'Ninja God' like Senju Hashirama and protect Konoha from wind and rain. Therefore, I think Kagezuki is a suitable candidate for the future Hokage. I hope you can train him well and let him contribute to the future of Konoha."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little hesitant when he heard this, but he still nodded: "I will do my best to train Kagezuki, Mito-sama."

However, Danzo Shimura, who was standing aside, had a gloomy expression on his face, his heart full of dissatisfaction and worry.

As a descendant of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Kagezuki was born with the Uchiha bloodline, which he hated extremely.

Danzo has always believed that the Uchiha clan is an inherently evil race, and no matter how much potential Shadow Moon has, it is difficult to hide his inherent danger.

More importantly, Danzo has a strong obsession with the position of Hokage.

Back then, when Tobirama Senju asked them to make the choice of covering their retreat, he hesitated for a moment, allowing Sarutobi Hiruzen to express his position first, thus losing the chance to become Hokage.

This matter has always been a pain in his heart, and as he grows older, his obsession with the position of Hokage becomes deeper and deeper.

"That brat Yingyue," Danzo thought to himself, "He has Uchiha blood, and he will sooner or later become an unstable factor in Konoha. What's more, he may threaten my chance of becoming Hokage..."

Although his heart was filled with dissatisfaction and jealousy, Danzo maintained a calm expression on the surface.

He did not express any objection to Uzumaki Mito's words, but still stood aside, silently thinking about his next plan.

Under Uzumaki Mito's comfort and entrustment, the Konoha high-level officials gradually let go of their inner guilt. They understood that Uzumaki Mito had already let go of the destruction of the Whirlpool Country and hoped that Konoha would become stronger and more stable in the future.

Sarutobi Hiruzen and others finally bid farewell to Uzumaki Mito. After they left, Uzumaki Mito sat alone in the house, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

She knew very well that Yingyue's future path was full of challenges and dangers, but she also believed that this young man who inherited the blood of Senju and Uchiha could shoulder greater responsibilities.

"Kagezuki, the future of Konoha is in your hands..." Uzumaki Mito prayed silently in her heart. She hoped that Kagezuki could bring peace and tranquility to Konoha and the ninja world like Hashirama Senju.
