Konoha Village, the land of the Uchiha clan.

Pharmacist Nonou is treating Uzumaki Nagato. The recent temperature changes caused him to accidentally catch a cold and develop lung inflammation.

Nagato Uzumaki has not yet reconciled with the world. In his heart, he still hates those big countries that wantonly start wars. That is to say, Payne in his heart still exists, but without his minions and bound by the chain called friendship.

The aroma of herbal medicine seeped out from the gaps in the window, and Xiao Nan stared nervously at the closed door outside the house.

Next to him are the young Konan and Yahiko, and the world is now in complete chaos.

…………

In the training ground, Akai Mizuki's shadow clone easily suppressed Uchiha River's fierce attack. The child was not annoyed and just continued to attack.

Four years have passed, and Uchiha has grown taller and has a handsome face. Perhaps because he was often defeated by Akai Mitsuki, his face does not have the arrogance specific to Uchiha, but looks extremely humble.

Bai Zetsu, disguised as Runyu, was lying on a wicker chair and basking in the sun, with Mitsuki Akai's body lying beside him.

"Meiyue, do you know why Nonoyu doesn't like to talk to me?" Bai Jue asked with a puzzled tone on his moist face.

"Because she knows you are not Lord Runyu, so she doesn't want to talk to you." Akai Mitsuki said with a smile, holding Runyu's special lollipop in her mouth.

"What about you? Why do you want to pay attention to me?"

Bai Jue then asked, he was born not long ago and this is one of the few times he has had the experience of talking to people.

"When Nonoyu and I were chatting yesterday, the way you stood nearby and wanted to come over but didn't dare to come over made you look like me when I was in the orphanage."

At that time, she had low self-esteem, was lonely, fragile and timid. Runyu suddenly broke into her life and saved her.

"I understand, helping me is like helping my former self?" Bai Jue replied.

"Haha, I also want to know the person responsible for playing Lord Runyu..."

Bai Ze suddenly sat up and put his head next to Akai Mitsuki's ear. This posture was extremely intimate.

"Actually, I'm not a human being..."

"Hahaha, then what are you? A big tiger?" Akai Mizuki said with a smile, she just thought Bai Zetsu was joking with her.

"Oh my... it's true. I was born from a huge monster in a dark cave. My whole consciousness was hazy. It wasn't until I was activated and disguised as a whole person that I finally came to life."

Bai Jue lay down again, with a gloomy expression and a thin layer of mist covering his eyes, as if there were clouds and mist on the beautiful mirror lake.

Is he sad? Just when Akai Mitsuki was thinking about how to comfort Bai Zetsu, she found the latter sitting up.

"Sister Meiyue, the person you've been waiting for is back."

Bai Jue slowly sank into the ground and disappeared. Chi Ling, wearing a red mask, was suddenly in the courtyard.

"Long time no see, Meiyue." Chi Ling was the first to greet her.

"Brother Chiling, that one just now..." Akai Mizuki was about to ask about the whereabouts of the fake Runyu, but suddenly stopped because she didn't know how to call him.

"That thing is called Bai Jue, and it's waiting underground right now." Chi Ling explained.

"Things?..." After hearing Chi Ling's description, Akai Mizuki felt a little dissatisfied.

"If you like it, then let it follow you from now on."

He noticed the changes in Akai Mizuki's emotions. Occasionally, several special individuals would be born among the mass-produced White Zetsus. These individuals had stronger abilities and were more humane.

"Dong dong."

Sarutobi Hiruzen put down the pen in his hand, rubbed the center of his brows, stretched his waist, and the fatigue on his face was wiped away.

When someone came to visit him, he had to pretend to be energetic. As Konoha's Kage, he had to make others feel at ease during the war.

"Please come in."

This man has a broad upper body and thick arms, and is wearing a black haori.

"The Third Hokage-sama."

Although he was greeting me, there was no sign of respect on his face.

Sarutobi Hiruzen instantly determined that the person coming was the Uchiha clan, and that was the only clan with such a cold and arrogant attitude.

He instantly guessed that this was the Uchiha tribesman with Kage-level combat power mentioned in the information sent by Hinata.

"This scroll contains the bodies of the Third Mizukage and some of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, which can prove that what I said is true." He took a few steps forward and placed the scroll in his hand on Sarutobi Hiruzen's table.

"Is the tiger really dead?" Hiruzen Sarutobi did not pick up the scroll immediately, but stared into Runyu's eyes and asked.

"He killed the Third Mizukage and the Seven Ninja Swordsmen in one battle, but he has no regrets." He said in as calm a tone as possible.

"Why--"

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed, lowering his head as if immersed in the sadness of Uchiha-san's death. After a long time, he raised his head and his eyes were slightly red, but he did not cry. "I can see that you and Tiger have a good relationship."

"Why do you say that?"

"Although your tone is calm, I still feel a trace of extremely suppressed sadness in your voice." Sarutobi Hiruzen explained.

"It's not that we're very good friends, we just got along with each other for a long time." Runyu excused herself with lies.

Sarutobi Hiruzen obviously didn't believe his excuse, but he didn't ask further questions.

"Can you tell me the entire plan of the Uchiha clan? Including the explosives that night."

Runyu had a coincidence. His main goal here was to give Sarutobi Hiruzen a reasonable explanation of what had happened in the past few days.

"Ahem."

"Last night, our clan dropped a ninja tool called Pai Daxing into the Mist Ninja camp, which directly caused the entire Mist Ninja vanguard team to be wiped out. This morning, I led a surprise attack on the Mist Ninja Village to destroy it. The Master of Elements promised not to attack again in my lifetime.

Konoha, on the other hand, Uchiha Mountain killed the Third Mizukage and the Seven Ninja Swordsmen."

Runyu paused slightly, took a breath and then concluded.

"To sum up, the Mist Ninja has lost the ability to start a war and has basically withdrawn from this Ninja War."

After Hiruzen Sarutobi heard this, the office fell into silence for a long time. He knew a lot, but he seemed to know nothing. He really wanted to stand up and ask, when did the Uchiha clan have the combat power to crush the Mist Ninja?

?

The Kiri Ninja is one of the five great ninja villages, and it is not just a piece of paper. It was actually exposed by the Uchiha clan in two or three times.

"Does the Uchiha clan still have ninja tools like Patrick Star? This power is needed on other battlefields."

The existence of this kind of ninja tool destroys the balance between ninja villages. If the Uchiha clan can mass-produce this power, then Konoha will have the power to sweep the ninja world.

"I am not sure."

"You don't know?"

"This kind of ninja tool is provided by Tiger." Runyu continued to talk nonsense without changing his expression.

"..." Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent. Without any evidence, could he still resurrect Mount Uchiha and then ask Patrick Star about the manufacturing principle of such a ninja tool?

It seems that Uchiha Mountain can indeed be "resurrected". Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression changed slightly, and he used the dirty soil to reincarnate and resurrect. Therefore, the formula of the medicinal bath and the secrets of the Uchiha clan are not something he can grasp at his fingertips.

"Can I see Tiger again? I want to say goodbye to him in person." Hiruzen Sarutobi raised his head with a sincere expression. "Please!"

Runyu's expression changed slightly. He really didn't expect that the relationship between Sarutobi Hiruzen and his father would be so good.

"I'm sorry, please allow me to refuse. Starting tomorrow, our clan will prepare for the funeral of the clan leader. It will be the same as saying goodbye when the time comes."

"It's true that I was abrupt. I will definitely attend when the time comes." Sarutobi Hiruzen said apologetically.

"Last question, why have I never seen you? Who are you?"

"It's just a shadow in the dark, what's the point of seeing it or not seeing it?"

After saying this, Runyu said goodbye.

The shadow is similar to a personal guard, just like Uchiha Reige placed in Runyu.

"But wasn't the shadow of Uchiha Mountain sacrificed more than ten years ago? Is it a smoke bomb?" Sarutobi Hiruzen held the brush in his hand, but he didn't write for a long time. He didn't know what he was thinking.

He thought he knew the Uchiha clan, but he discovered that they were basically onions. If you peeled off one layer, there would be another, and no one knew what kind of monsters were hidden in the core.

Runyu walked the streets of Konoha to prove that he was wrapped in heavy fatigue. He had completed eighty percent of the plan, but at the last twenty percent, he stopped moving forward.

He didn't know how to explain to Uchiha Fugaku the cold and cruel fact of Uchiha-san's death.

He made a plan and tried to defeat the Mist Ninja Village with thunder because he didn't want anything to happen to Uchiha Mountain.

But he made a mistake, which resulted in the death of Mount Uchiha, and the perfect plan was instantly reduced to ashes.

This was also the reason why he didn't let Uchiha Reitsu follow him when he was chasing Nonou. He had absolute confidence in his ability to protect himself, but he didn't want Uchiha Reiyue to step into a dangerous situation with him, even if he ended up fighting alone.

"Bang bang bang!"

Two figures, one tall and one short, were competing in physical skills in the training ground. When their eyes met, a bit of love inadvertently showed between them.

Over the past four years, Uchiha Mikoto's figure has become more slender and taller. She wears a black sleeveless turtleneck sweater on her upper body and only tight-fitting shorts on her lower body, revealing her long white legs and a small ninja bag tied to her right leg.

.

This training ground is located next to the Uchiha clan. It is in a remote location and few people come to train, so it has become a secret base for Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Mikoto.
