[Hokage] One day to arrive

?It is impossible for the Lihuo team to go out of the village just to ask Itachi Uchiha a question, so although they successfully got a shocking news, the three members of the team decided to hand over the official task first and consider it Others - anyway, they are all only 14 years old, and Lu Jiu is not a ninja, Yuan Weiyang is also excluded from the village's high-level, and it is not their turn to take care of anything that happens.

But despite having such vague thoughts, Lihuo and the others did not deliberately delay the trip, and it was precisely because of this that when Lihuo returned home, he saw Yuan Weiyang who was sitting in the living room and was struggling to apply medicine to himself. , although I can’t say that I was extremely surprised, but I still couldn’t help the corners of my mouth twitching, and sighed long: "I said Uncle Weiyang... I remember that Master said clearly this time, 'Before the Fifth Hokage confirms that you can be discharged from the hospital, You'd better be honest 'this sentence, you like this..."

"Do you think that after you ran out to find Itachi Uchiha regardless of the news, I can safely let Xiaojiu stay at home alone?" It's closed, but Wenrun's facial features are very clear, but at this time, he showed a discordant and almost mocking expression, "I don't want to stay in Konoha Hospital and be taken care of by the Fifth Hokage with Master Jiraiya. Besides...Xiao Jiu is not angry."

"Hey?" Li Huo couldn't help being stunned when he heard Yuan Weiyang say that.

Before Li Huo could figure out why, Lu Jiu came out of her room with a few pieces of white silk yarn, and saw a trace of strangeness in Li Huo's eyes standing in front of Yuan Weiyang: " Lihuo, what are you doing standing there stupidly?"

As he spoke, he walked to his special seat and sat down.

Actually not angry...

Lihuo felt that he was a bit uncomfortable, thinking about Lu Jiu's reaction that also surprised him when he said that he wanted to intervene in Itachi Uchiha - did he really never know his master, but...

Thinking of this, Li Huo took a complicated look at Yuan Weiyang, and sat down in his own seat.

This time it's not just Yuan Weiyang, even Lu Jiu felt a little strange and looked up at him before lowering his head again, took out a piece of silk yarn and spread it out, but he didn't see anything coming out, so he put his bare hands on the edge of the silk yarn. A golden translucent strange pattern floating in mid-air was drawn on the top. After the last stroke, the pattern was just printed on the silk like the one that submerged into Li Huo's chest, and then disappeared.

Lu Jiu took a look at the finished silk yarn, and handed it to Yuan Weiyang, who was sitting not far from him, with a very casual attitude, and Yuan Weiyang, who was still struggling with bandages and wound medicine, also With a very accustomed look, he temporarily stopped the movements in his hands, wiped his hands clean, took the silk yarn, folded several layers, and tied it to his eyes.

...It turns out that the thing that Uncle Wei Yang has been tying to his eyes is a talisman made for him by his master.

Li Huo continued to think silently with a blank face.

Lu Jiu buried her head and began to tamper with the other silk yarn, but Yuan Weiyang paid some attention to Li Huo, and after seeing that Li Huo still hadn't moved, she asked with some doubts: "What are you doing today?" Since I was not in a hurry to get busy with my own affairs, and rushed back early after the mission was over, it shouldn't be to watch me and Xiaojiu in a daze."

"Ah... By the way, there is indeed something wrong." Li Huo came back to his senses and said seriously, "I went out of the village this time, and I stopped by to see Itachi Uchiha. The main reason is that you are in the hospital, Uncle Weiyang The masked man mentioned really makes people care less..." Although after knowing Lu Jiu's attitude, Li Huo no longer cares much about Yuan Weiyang's taboo about him meddling in Uchiha-related matters, but at this time, he still Explained a sentence.

If it wasn't for the masked man that Yuan Weiyang mentioned in the ward before, Li Huo really didn't think about meeting Uchiha Itachi at first—what's the point of seeing him, and he didn't intend to waste his efforts trying to convince him .After all, from Li Huo's point of view, no one would fully admit another person's thoughts, so what's the point of wasting more words?

Yuan Weiyang didn't know so much, but since he left the news of Uchiha Itachi's appointment with Uchiha Sasuke before leaving the village, he naturally didn't care so much at this time... The previous attitude was just a habit for many years, but it was After hearing Li Huo mentioning this incident on purpose, he became a little interested: "Oh? It seems that I got some useful news?"

"Hmm... I used Xiang WuXing." Li Huo said, twisting his body uncomfortably.

"Xiang Wuxing... Didn't you leave Uchiha Itachi's eyes to Uchiha Sasuke? You can activate this ability without looking at your eyes?" Yuan Weiyang noticed another problem first.

"...I asked Yumi to give Uchiha Itachi a pair of ordinary eyes." Li Huo was stunned, but he didn't think there was anything to hide, "To be honest, the process was not smooth, but fortunately, Uchiha was at that time Itachi's body was too weak, but he succeeded in the end."

"So that's how it is." Yuan Weiyang nodded to signal Li Huo to continue talking.

"I saw in Uchiha Itachi's memory that the masked man also participated in the Uchiha extermination." Speaking of this, Li Huo couldn't help curling his lips—I don't know if the Uchiha clan is really too big. Failed, there are quite a few of them who are still living in the world with the blood of the Uchiha clan flowing in their bodies, but none of them really care about the family, "And does Shimura Danzo know that he participated in the Uchiha clan's extermination? I'm not sure about it. What I'm more concerned about is - that masked man... calls himself Uchiha Madara!"

"Bang!"

Yuan Weiyang hurriedly helped the bottles and jars knocked over by him in shock, and couldn't help changing his tone when he spoke again: "Uchiha Madara?! Didn't he lose the battle with the first generation in the Valley of the End?" Yet?"

Even after so many years, Uchiha Madara's reputation remains the same as that of the first generation. Although a lot of records have been erased, it is Konoha's first rebellious ninja. Yuan Weiyang was bored before Lu Jiu appeared. I also deliberately went to find out.

"I'm not sure if it's true, but I just saw such a scene in Uchiha Itachi's memory. He is also a member of the Akatsuki organization." Lihuo frowned, "And after the Uchiha extermination, Shimura Danzo got In fact, the scrolls are not complete, and Uchiha Madara was expelled by the tribe back then, and I can see not much information about him."

"However..." Li Huo thought carefully, and slowly expressed his guess, "I don't think he is the real Uchiha Madara."

"How do you say it?" Lu Jiu, who didn't know Uchiha Madara at all, saw Lihuo and Yuan Weiyang's reaction in this way, and finally became a little interested.

"Leaving aside the issue of his age, although I have seen limited records about Uchiha Madara, he is the most dazzling and outstanding existence in the Uchiha clan ever recorded." Lihuo thought of Uchiha Itachi's memory The behavior of the "Uchiha Madara" in front of him twitched the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, "I think...it shouldn't be self-destructive like that...right?"

Lu Jiu glanced at Lihuo's weird expression, her interest faded a lot, she lowered her eyes and continued to do her own thing, and after a while she said in a flat tone: "At the end of the day, it's just a guess, if there is no place to start, it's just a guess." Let it go for now."

Li Huo gave a wry smile: "Actually, I also understand, Master. But Uchiha Madara's reputation... I'm afraid no one in the ninja world would not care."

Lu Jiu didn't bother to ask Li Huo, even if he cared about it, what kind of impact would it cause? Instead, she glanced at Yuan Weiyang, only to find that the aura around him suddenly became dignified.

"Whether the masked man is Madara Uchiha is something we shouldn't explore too much now. In fact, there is one more thing that I haven't found a chance to talk about. On the contrary, I noticed something was wrong when Lihuo mentioned the Akatsuki organization just now." Yuan Weiyang seemed a little irritable , raised his hand and scratched his hair, and spoke much faster than before, "The leader of the Xiao organization, Payne!"

Payne...

When Lu Jiu heard this name, his eyes turned cold and severe, but it was only for a moment, and soon he became as calm as usual.

Then Lu Jiu tilted his head slightly, stuffed all the processed silk yarn into Yuan Weiyang's hand, stretched his body and said, "Your task this time seems to be because you also know If you have any news about the leader of the Akatsuki organization, go to investigate, and it will appear."

"Yes, in fact, I was a step too late when I rushed there. My lord knows the specific situation better. But... a lot of information about Payne's ability has been revealed after all."

"Although we don't know if we will face each other directly, it should be a good thing to know the enemy's abilities in advance, right?" Li Huo was a little puzzled.

"No! What I should have thought of... is that I was too slack after being injured this time." Yuan Weiyang raised his hand and pressed the center of his eyebrows a little tiredly, "The Xiao organization's target is the tailed beast, even in this attack Currently, among the tailed beasts, only the Nine-Tails on Naruto and the Eight-Tails from Yunyin Village survived, and the others have already fallen into the hands of the Akatsuki organization."

"And at this time, since the information of the leader of the Akatsuki organization has been exposed to Konoha, it is very likely that their next goal will be on Konoha's side!" Yuan Weiyang recalled the powerlessness of facing Payne at that time, Suddenly I stretched out my hand and grabbed Lu Jiu's hand firmly, "At that time, I spent more energy on running away with Master Jiraiya, and I didn't have the chance to truly see his full strength, but even so , I also managed to get away with a serious injury after relying on the strength given to me by Xiaojiu, Liudao Payne..."

Feeling the faint tremor in Yuan Weiyang's hand, and the firmness with which he grasped her, Lu Jiu slightly lowered her head and frowned, looking at the back of Yuan Weiyang's hand holding him, but did not break away , it took a long while before he said calmly and indifferently in a slightly hoarse voice: "What are you worried about... Liudao Payne?"

Judging from Lu Jiu's slightly rising tone at the end, he was... laughing?

Li Huo suddenly turned his head to look at Lu Jiu, and what he met was actually a pair of slightly smiling eyes.

Suddenly, Li Huo's heart, which was raised because of Yuan Weiyang's abnormality, calmed down.
