On the night of the sixth day, Huang returned from the training ground under the moonlight.

The day after tomorrow is the day of the decisive battle, and he needs to spend a day adjusting to his condition, or at least lie down in bed and sleep seriously, instead of simply using meditation to get through it.

Besides, Mr. Hayate has already gone back, so there won't be much point in continuing the training without anyone to teach him tricks or point him out.

"Desolate~"

Just as he was about to open the door, a familiar call fell into his ears.

It's Sister Quan's voice.

In fact, Uchiha Ara had already sensed the girl's aura when he passed by the door of her house.

However, he resisted the urge to say hello as usual and chose to walk by without even noticing.

Under the current situation, Huang didn't know how to face Sister Quan.

Originally, he thought that deliberately turning a blind eye could temporarily bypass this bond, but he never thought that the person closest to him in this life would still follow him.

"Sister Quan."

The boy who turned around responded calmly.

He can guess the other person's intention and is not very good at hiding his thoughts.

The invitation to fight after tomorrow is really his, the best opportunity for Uchiha!

In order to let Uncle Yashiro, Granny Japonica, Grandpa Tezuka, Aunt Hazuki... and Izumi survive, he would kill that white-eyed wolf even if it cost him his life or the reputation of being a traitor!

"Do I have to fight?"

After much hesitation, Uchiha Izumi couldn't help but ask, even though she already had the answer in her heart.

Huang said nothing.

This was the first time he responded with silence.

Time passes in silence.

Uchiha Izumi's fingers changed from relaxed to curled up several times, and there was an unusual sadness on his soft cheeks.

"I see."

"Go to rest early, Huang."

a long time.

When the hanging moon disappeared behind the clouds, Quan tried his best to squeeze out a smile and pretended to be relaxed.

As for refueling.

She doesn't know, and she can't do it, to cheer for one party alone.

"Feel sorry."

Looking at the girl's back, Huang finally spoke.

But it doesn't make any sense.

.......

"Sandaime-sama, the above is my judgment."

'Cough, cough.'

"If Ara can be included in the Anbu and trained more, then given time, he will definitely become a powerful ninja like Shisui who can intimidate a force."

Moonlight Gale, who was half-kneeling on the ground, sounded slightly excited about the past.

Being able to witness the growth of a genius and become his teacher is a rare experience.

This time, he was finally able to experience firsthand how the teachers in the ninja academy felt when they faced Kakashi Hatake.

"Well, you did a good job, and I will consider your suggestion, but as for entering the ANBU, you still need the consent of the little guy himself and the Uchiha clan."

"After all, he is only eight years old, which is still too young."

"You've been working hard these past few days. Let's go back and have a good rest."

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was sitting behind the desk, had a gentle face and gentle words, just like the grandfather next door, without any of the strength and majesty of the shadow of a village.

"yes."

"My subordinates resign."

Yue Guangfeng responded and stood up immediately, but before leaving, he glanced outside the door without leaving any trace.

He is the best at reconnaissance due to his clairvoyance.

However, he made no sound.

Because he believed that the things he could sense, the Sandaime-sama, who was called the 'Ninjutsu Professor', would also be able to sense it.

The Hokage's office fell into a brief silence after Moonlight Hayate left.

However, this silence was quickly broken by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"come in."

I don't know if it was an illusion or some other reason, but the white-haired old man seemed to have lost his previous amiable attitude, and his voice became slightly colder.

"Ah."

Only a cold snort was heard.

A wooden crutch first came in through the narrow crack in the door.

"This is what you said you were waiting for!"

"Uchiha, that evil family, there will be a third Shisui!!"

The visitor should be angry.

Every word, every sentence was emphasized, and no one cared about who they were talking to.

"Shisui intimidated Kirigakure who was about to make a move, and Itachi also completed every assassination mission perfectly, clearing away many potential enemies for Konoha. After all, it is a meritorious service, right?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen lit the pipe in his hand and asked slowly while looking at his old friend in his field of vision.

"But, Uchiha is Uchiha after all!"

"Both Shisui and Itachi have reported the recent changes in their clan. Can you really guarantee that those evil guys will not rebel? Can you really guarantee that Shisui and Itachi will betray the family and side with Konoha?"

"Don't forget the Nine-Tails Incident five years ago. The only one who can forcibly control the tailed beasts is Uchiha!"

Danzo Shimura slammed the crutch in his hand onto the floor.

The harsh crashing sound was a symbol of his anger.

The rise of Huang is not the point.

The key point is Hiruzen's attitude towards Uchiha. If he continues to suppress it, one day those guys will escape control and become the root cause of the destruction of the village!

"Shisui will not take action against the village, and Itachi will definitely stand by the village."

"I believe that they are all ninjas who have inherited the will of fire."

Faced with the question from his old friend, the Sandaime said categorically.

This is his determination.

If he cannot be sure of this, then his life of more than sixty years has been in vain!

However, such words obviously did not convince the leader of the roots. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something else. He wanted to use examples to prove that the evil of that clan was not credible.

But before he could say anything, he was blocked by a warning filled with words.

"Find out your identity, Danzo."

"I am the Hokage!"

This sentence completely made the one-eyed old man lose his temper.

The Hokage is the person with the highest power in a village, and his fate can be determined by just one word.

"Oh, you will regret it eventually, Hiruzen!"

Staring at the "highly powerful" old guy, Danzo Shimura said coldly and harshly before turning and leaving. The entire Hokage Building could hear the sound of him tapping the floor with his cane.

"Don't bear too much grudge against Danzo, he is doing it for the village too."

"I will try to correct his thinking."

For a long time, after taking several puffs of dry tobacco, Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly spoke, with a hint of helplessness in his words.

"No, Lord Sandaime is already tolerant of Uchiha. It's because they value the reputation and glory of their clan too much."

A response came from the quiet Hokage's office, and a figure was half-kneeling on the floor. His attire was somewhat different from Moonlight Hayate, and he wore a white mask on his face.

"Well, the relationship between the village and Uchiha still needs time to reconcile, so this matter will trouble you and Shisui."

"There is still a competition the day after tomorrow. Let's stop tomorrow's mission and have a good rest."

Looking at the ANBU members in his field of vision, Hiruzen Sarutobi said gently.

"Yes, Hokage-sama, I will never lose. I will take my leave first."

After saying a word, Itachi disappeared from the spot.

At this point, the white-haired old man in charge of Konoha breathed a sigh of relief.
Chapter completed!
