Naruto Diary

Now, Sasuke took the initiative to propose, which means that he has awakened to the cruel future he is about to face, and will be able to face it with strength.

In this way, the two ends of the balance, which were originally tilted towards the village, inevitably tilted again.

If the individual and the collective cannot be preserved at the same time, as a leader, it is the existence to make that painful choice.And this is also the awareness and courage necessary to be a leader.

"Do you... really know the consequences of doing this?" I asked Sasuke softly.

Since everyone can't bear to confirm Sasuke's determination again, then I will do it.

"I know...I know." Sasuke's trembling voice revealed unwavering determination, "The Uchiha family made a choice...and this choice failed...that's all... I am...the descendant of Uchiha...I am...the glorious Uchiha! The choice made by the family, I don't care whether it is right or wrong...Since the choice has been made, the result of this choice, regardless of pain or joy... …As a proud Uchiha, I will bravely shoulder it and never run away! Never!" At the end of the sentence, Sasuke was already in tears.

No one moved in the Hokage office for a while, everyone was immersed in the shock brought by a 12-year-old child.

After a long time, Sandai Hokage sighed, looked directly at Sasuke and said with certainty: "The glory of Uchiha... One day, because of the hard work of you and your brother Itachi, it will resound throughout the entire ninja world again." !must!"

"..." Sasuke just wept silently, feeling somewhat comforted by the affirmation of the Third Hokage, and more determined.

The rumors that swept across Konoha like the wind at some point finally ended in the truth announced by the upper echelon.

Four years ago, the Uchiha clan attempted to rebel. In the end, the eldest son of the Uchiha clan, Itachi, slaughtered the clan overnight for the peace of the village and even the Ninja world, leaving only an innocent younger brother, Uchiha Sasuke.

Such a truth instantly boiled the entire Konoha like a major earthquake, and spread to the entire ninja world at an incomparable speed.

Uchiha Itachi, who was still lurking in "Dawn", was recalled urgently at the first time and given a vindication.

At the same time, Sandai Hokage issued a declaration that because of his own incompetence, the situation of the Uchiha clan in the village became increasingly difficult, and eventually they had to be forced to embark on the road of rebellion.Therefore, the unforgivable self will resign from the position of Hokage, and Senju Tsunade, the granddaughter of the first generation of Hokage, will take over the position of Hokage and become the fifth generation of Hokage.

In the end, the third Hokage took most of the responsibility by himself.

At such a time of turmoil, thanks to the long-term preparations, Hokage's handover of powers and responsibilities was unexpectedly smooth and did not cause any trouble.

On the other hand, to my surprise, the two Hokage consultants, Koharu and Mitomon Yan, also stood up and claimed that the Uchiha incident was their fault, and the third Hokage was just forced to help.

This changed my impression of these two "stubborn" a lot.In contrast, Danzo, who is still hiding underground without saying a word, is even more hateful.

In any case, this crisis of trust that shook the foundation of Konoha was finally passed safely without any danger.

With so many things happening one after another, the daily chaos in Hyuga House naturally couldn't go on.Eleven people, including Xianglin, ran around the village in a hurry, almost digging three feet, just to find Sasuke to meet.

However, with me here, since Sasuke doesn't want to see anyone, no one can find him, even Kaorin.

It is said that there is no escaping, and when things come to an end, some buffering and mental preparation are needed after all.

Moreover, Sasuke and Itachi, the brothers who had been separated for many years finally reunited, especially under such circumstances, let them be alone for a while quietly without being disturbed.

64. Mission

A small waterfall somewhere in the Leaf Forest.

Because he had to help Sasuke hide from people, he couldn't go to the lake where he used to stay.In addition, since itachi and I both chose the water escape system of immortality as our major direction, we still found a remote water area.

"Mission?" Sasuke put down his chopsticks and asked suspiciously.

It's lunch time now, and I took advantage of the break to tell Sasuke about the tasks assigned by Tsunade.

"Yes, Tsunade-sensei has assigned Class 2 to the mission of going to Sagakushi, so you have to go too." I said while eating my boxed lunch, "Just meet at Hokage's office at [-] p.m.."

Sasuke was silent for a while, and said: "For the seventh class, Naruto... no, you go too?"

"... Let's call it Naruto. After all, in the eyes of most people, Uzumaki Naruto has nothing to do with Namikaze Chengying." I said, "Also, Naruto has already left the seventh class. The vacant position will be filled by Xianglin in the seventh class."

"..." Sasuke was silent for a while again, unable to tell what he was thinking, "...Actually, I've wanted to ask for a long time, why bother to come up with two identities?"

"...Before graduating from the ninja school, 'Uzumaki Naruto' was very unpopular. It is common to be maliciously raised the price when buying and selling things, and the living expenses are limited, so it is a pity to waste it like this, so I used the transformation technique to pretend to be a child from the 'next-door village'... In the beginning, Namikaze Chengying was just Chengying, but the third Hokage-sama gave me a surprise, so it became the current 'The wind bears the shadow'." I said calmly.

"..." Sasuke lowered his head and poked the rice with his chopsticks.

It could be seen that Sasuke was not interested, and I was worried that he would not want to do the mission, so I said, "I still have to go to the mission in the afternoon. This is a chance to prove it, both for you and Konoha."

Sasuke was stunned, then looked up: "Proof?"

"Yes..." Just as he was about to explain, Itachi on the side picked up the words.

"Prove that your choice is different from that of the Uchiha clan, and prove that Konoha has enough trust in you." Itachi said calmly, "Only the statement from the top is not enough, the villagers need to see more convincing facts. action."

"...I'll go. Didn't you say no?" Sasuke pouted, puffing up one cheek.

Seeing this, the corners of my eyes twitched slightly.

It seems... since Itachi came back, Sasuke has a tendency to be a little bit childish?

Itachi's slender eyebrows and eyes bent calmly, and said softly: "You know...you are not young anymore, try to see your own path clearly."

"I will." Sasuke said, finally starting to concentrate on eating.And at this time, I have already finished my lunch, and so has Itachi.

I made a pot of tea with Senju Chakra and handed it a cup, I picked up my cup, blew on it, and took a few sips.

The tea is just cheap stuff that can be found all over the street, but after using the celestial chakra, the taste is really indescribably wonderful.

Squinting my eyes comfortably, I sipped the hot tea over and over again, and while drinking tea, I said, "Speaking of which, Itachi, you should prepare as well. If there are no accidents, you will also have to make Yuyin tomorrow morning."

"Yu Yin?" Itachi raised an eyebrow in surprise, "There's..."

Worrying about Sasuke's presence, Itachi didn't finish his sentence, but I knew what he was referring to.Yuyin is the headquarters of the Akatsuki organization.

"That's why I asked you to prepare it?" I said, taking a sip of tea.

"...It is really necessary to prepare." Itachi said, "So, where are the team members?"

"You, me, Naruto, Yamato." I said.

"...Even Naruto?" Itachi frowned. "It's just that there's no need to use Jinchuriki when negotiating, right? Although the other party is not so easy to talk to... I believe that Tsunade-sama definitely doesn't want to start a war."

"Of course." I said, "It's just to facilitate the removal of possible obstacles on the road."

"... Tsunade-sama is determined to win." Itachi said with emotion, "So, that Yamato?"

"Mu Dun Tian Zang, you should know. The result of the negotiation between the upper management." I said lightly.

"...So that's the case." Itachi asked calmly, thoughtfully, "Are you worried about me or Naruto?"

"As for Danzo, both sides are worried." I curled my lips.

"..." Itachi was silent, and after a while he said coldly, "It is indeed his style."

"In short, let's prepare in advance." I said, indicating that this topic is over, "I believe that the communication of letters will have results by the evening at the latest."

Itachi nodded and said nothing more.

At this time, Sasuke, who had been holding back for a long time, finally couldn't hold back and said, "Well, the mission of going to Ameyin is dangerous?"

I looked at him and saw that the meal was about the same, so I poured a cup of tea and handed it to him, while comforting me: "Don't worry, you have to have confidence in your elder brother's strength."

"Oh..." Sasuke reached out to take the teacup, with an unconvinced expression.

"Let me tell you a secret about your brother." I said in a calm tone as if I was talking about the weather, Sasuke pricked up his ears, "Your brother also mastered the fairy art and flying thunder god art that I know. ?”

"..." Sasuke's eyes widened, and after a moment of stupefaction, he puffed up his cheeks and bit the chopsticks hard, looking at the posture, as if he would not stop until he ate the chopsticks.

Itachi, who was drinking tea at the side, bent his eyes again.

In the early morning of the second day, the morning fog was very thick.

Standing at the gate of Konoha, looking at the white mist in front of me, I couldn't help but think of the scene in the original book when Itachi returned for the first time after being away for many years.And now, Itachi is about to set off from here as an upright Konoha ninja.

The future may be difficult, or
