[Hokage] Flower Time

As if to confirm the correctness of his words again, he pressed his body against Hua Shi.

Leaning her back, she had already touched the rough and dry surface of the tree. A falling leaf slowly fell from the crown of the tree, swirling in the beam of light and landed on her shoulder.Even though she had no way out, the other party had no intention of giving in, and still covered her with his own body. Such a distance with almost no gap made her frown uncomfortably.

"You have no choice..." He said: "Uchiha Itachi and you are no longer on the same path. Since he made that choice, he has completely separated from you and his past self. That man will keep walking like this... There will be no turning back. And the Muye Village you once believed in... is now your greatest threat. Your only protection is me."

"What if I don't need protection at all?" She tried to move back an inch, but her palm touched a hard branch, and there was really no other escape route here.

"You need my protection." He said, and finally left her body.

The huge pressure left, and her body relaxed.

"I will take you to see Danzo. As for whether to kill him or keep him, it depends on your own decision and...your strength." His words are meaningful, and it takes time to understand what happened afterwards implied meaning.

He rescued her and taught her ninjutsu just for her power.So much time had passed, it was time to test her worth.It feels uncomfortable to be measured by power as a value like a commodity, but she has no choice.If you want to live, you must have your own value and meaning of existence.

If she is not just a pair of eyes or a tool for the future in front of Madara...

This idea appeared suddenly, even she herself was surprised by it, and she quickly forcibly suppressed this strange feeling.

"When Danzo narrates the truth, you will understand that your choice is not wrong." He raised his head and looked at the distant sky, speaking slowly, but he didn't know who he was speaking to: "The truth of the matter may not be As you can see from the surface, there are surging waters under the calm river. The decision made out of emotion, but the lame cover of "human beings are chasing interests and waiting for opportunities" is used to cover up their true emotions... For the Uchiha clan, who value "love" very much, they can't escape this curse."

Listening to his increasingly inexplicable words, Hua Shi didn't know how to answer.

——The truth of the matter may not be as it appears on the surface...

It seems to be the case.

"Danzo... is Konoha's high-level." She continued her topic stubbornly: "He hardly leaves Konoha Village, right? And he is also followed by Anbu, so it is not easy to get close. If you want to sneak into Konoha Village if……"

She didn't say what she said later, but Madara should also understand.

She did know the technique of passing the Konoha enchantment, but it had been many years since she left Konoha. After she left, out of vigilance, the enchantment technique may have been changed.Furthermore, it is not easy to sneak into Konoha Village and get close to Danzo.Konoha Ninja Village is the foundation of Danzo, and the forces he cultivated may appear at any time.Although I don't know how strong Danzo himself is, the opponent can win just based on the number of people.

There is no advantage for the two of them to rush into Konoha.

"Indeed." Madara admitted her words: "However, he also has a time to leave Muye Village. It's just that such an opportunity needs to wait."

"...When will I have to wait?" She asked, "If Danzo keeps shrinking in Konoha Village because of worry, do I have to wait forever?"

"I won't wait forever." Madara said, "You should know Orochimaru, right?"

She searched briefly in her memory, and barely remembered the appearance of that person.The other party seems to be an excellent ninja who was once praised as the "Three Ninjas", and enjoyed a great reputation in the last ninja world war.She remembered that when she was still studying at the ninja school, she met this ninja with golden vertical pupils several times - he stood at the door of the practice room, watching Itachi's movements through the gap.Later, he betrayed Konoha, and there was no further news.

"That guy broke away from 'Akatsuki' not long ago and started his own business. Maybe Itachi went too far, or Payne is also tired of his way of doing things." The hawks who have contacts, now he is your chance."

"Hawk...?" She repeated the unfamiliar word.

"I'm afraid you don't know, even among the high-level Konoha, there are factional struggles with each other. Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen are political enemies, and the factions represented by the two are also different. As a radical The Danzo, in addition to cultivating his own power, also likes to seek benefits from three generations of enemies."

Madara said, and his words became a little lower: "Although I don't know what kind of deal they have made... But in the past two years, Danzo has to get away from time to time to meet Orochimaru in person. It seems that he seems Made a deal that had to be done by myself."

"Oshemaru..." she said in a low voice, staring up at the trees in the distance.

The sudden gust of wind caused more fragile leaves to fall from the branches, falling to the ground one after another.A few leaves passed straight through Madara's body, as if he had encountered nothing, and continued on his own falling track.

Madara's information was correct.

Everything was as he expected. On the spring day not long after the Land of Fire, Shimura Danzo left Konoha Ninja Village once again, taking advantage of all the peaceful and undisturbed moments, and went to Tian Country on the grounds of completing official duties.

The country of Tian is located in the north of the country of fire, it is a small country.Compared with other ninja villages with a longer history, Yinnin Village, which belongs to it, was only established in the past two years, and it officially had its own name not long ago.Reminiscent of the time when Orochimaru left the Akatsuki organization, Huashi can also guess that the existence of this ninja village may also be related to Orochimaru.

The round water droplets on the leaves dripped down along the curved arc, and splashed into the crystal puddles with a clatter.Several birds of different colors turned their heads slightly, and then spread their wings and flew towards the gap in the forest.

She was wearing a cloak, and the hands shrunk under the cloak touched the kunai in the sleeves one by one.With another soft click, she poked her head out of the edge of the trees, and looked around for figures with her eyes.As far as she can see, there are tall trees and bushes of different shades, and there are birds that occasionally show a corner and water drops dripping from the leaves, but there are no traces of people.

Such a sight made her bow her head involuntarily, and asked Bai Jue who was leading the way under her feet, "You won't be tracking mistakes, will you?"

"You doubt my ability to collect intelligence!" Bai Jue, who had a circle of leaves on his crotch like a grass skirt, was very angry: "Even Madara dare not question my ability!"

"Blade?" she asked.

"He went to deal with the few people who followed Danzo." Bai Jue said, "I guarantee that there will be only one Danzo in front of you in the end."

After a while, Bai Jue complained suddenly: "Really... Madara's movement was too loud, Danzo got vigilant and ran away. We have to continue tracking again."

Hua Shi frowned, and instead of carefully hiding his body, he ran towards the direction Bai Jue pointed at.She stepped on one branch after another, and while running, she used her hearing to search for nearby noises.

When she calmed down, all nearby voices flooded in.She tried her best to distinguish unusual things from these messy sounds—the chirping of birds, the sound of water drops falling into puddles, the sound of blades rubbing against each other...the sound of people's footsteps rushing across the grass.

After determining the direction, she chased all the way forward, pulling out her own suffering.

The scenery in front of her retreated one after another, and the green leaves were pushed aside one by one by her figure.Occasionally, the tiptoes catch a few large leaves that have accumulated water, and a burst of scattered water is raised.The scenes are constantly changing, with low-hanging leaves replacing tangled vines, startled birds flying by, and suddenly revealing a winding stream.

She could hear the man's footsteps getting faster and faster, as if she had already noticed that someone was chasing her.For this reason, she couldn't help frowning secretly.

The closer she got, the calmer she became.Although she is not very clear about Danzo's ability, she is bound to win Shisui's eyes.

——Those were my brother's eyes, they belonged to my brother, Danzo, a foreigner who tried to kill her, didn't deserve to have them.

She clenched the kunai in her hand, swung it forward, and cut off the entire cane in front of her in one breath.Those green vines fell down one after another, clearly revealing the scene in front of them.Her ears caught the whistle of the wind, and her body bent back reflexively.Immediately, a shuriken carrying chakra whizzed over, flying over her body at an extremely fast speed.The shuriken came so fiercely that it broke all the trees behind her.

After a dull sound, the broken trees fell down one after another, and a bunch of dancing leaves were raised for a while.

She straightened her body, stood on the branch, and held Ku Wu in front of her with one hand.She looked forward and accurately found the person who made the attack—Danzo was wearing a white inner garment, with one hand resting in the black skirt, and a thick bandage wrapped around one eye.His crutches were tilted by his feet, and judging from the rush of running just now, it seemed that his lameness had no effect on him.

"Aren't you running around like a mouse anymore?" She said coldly, her eyes fixed on Danzo's bandage-covered eye.Even if she hadn't seen it, she knew what was there.

——Those are Shisui's eyes, they belong to my brother!

Danzo raised his head, his black eyes moved slightly.He looked at the young man standing opposite, as if he was trying to remember her name.After a long time, he said slowly, "...So it was you."
