"Tsk tsk tsk... 'Madara-sama', this gloomy place should be where your Uchiha clan members are buried, right?"
Uchiha Obito has become "Madara-sama" in Tobi's mouth
He looked around and said in a strange tone: "There are so many tombstones here!"
"This is the public cemetery of the Uchiha clan." Obito sat here and said expressionlessly: "After the members of the Uchiha clan die in battle, there are usually two burial places. One is in the public cemetery of Konohagakure village, and the other is in the Uchiha cemetery."
"Oh! I see! But..."
Tobi was surprised and a bit curious: "So do you have to cut your bodies in half? Half buried here, and the other half buried somewhere else?"
Obito's mouth twitched slightly.
Just as he was about to explain, suddenly his head tilted slightly to the right, and a Kunai flew past his mask.
Obito frowned, and the words he wanted to say were held back.
He turned his head to look in the direction where the Kunai was flying towards him.
"Is this your 'cooperative' attitude?"
Obito's voice was a bit deep, and he imitated the hoarseness of an old man: "Uchiha... Itachi?!"
"EH?" Tobi also looked in that direction.
"Oh!" Tobi said: "This guy is Uchiha Itachi, huh? Is he our partner? So young! He looks like he's only twelve or thirteen, right?"
The person who appeared in front of them was indeed Itachi.
The person who threw that Kunai was also Itachi.
Uchiha Itachi stared at the two guys in front of him wearing black robes with fire clouds, and his poker face showed a bit of displeasure: "Didn't I warn you not to cause trouble in Konohagakure village? What was that big explosion just now?!"
"Uchiha Itachi!" Itachi looked at Obito: "Don't forget, you promised me that you won't kill other people in the village!"
"Heh!" Obito's voice was low: "Just playing around, no need to be so nervous, after all, no one died."
"You..." Itachi gritted his teeth.
But thinking that he needed the other's help.
He could only forcibly endure it.
Then, Itachi looked at Tobi next to Obito, frowning: "Who is this guy? Didn't I say I only meet with one person? Why did you bring another person over?"
Obito chuckled: "We need to have more helpers, right? Otherwise, this big drama can't be perfectly performed."
Speaking of this, Obito's tone was a bit emotional: "Your plan really surprised me, Uchiha Itachi!"
Obito thought that his patricide was already very extreme.
Unexpectedly, there are "experts" in the Uchiha clan.
This Uchiha junior, who is several years younger than him, has a "capacity" that is shocking.
The smile under Obito's mask never diminished.
He admired Itachi very much.
As for Uchiha?
When Obito put on this mask, although he still carried the surname of the Uchiha clan, he had long stopped considering himself a member of the Uchiha clan.
"Can I ask why you did this?"
Obito was curious about Itachi's motives.
"The Uchiha clan, with such a small capacity, doesn't need to survive in the ninja world. This is my motive, this is also my reason... do you have any objections?" When Itachi said this, there was no ripple in his heart.
"Hahahaha!" Obito laughed loudly, one eye staring intently at Itachi's eyes: "Interesting little junior"
"Then let's have a happy cooperation..."
"Uchiha Itachi!
Itachi: "....."
Itachi's eyes didn't show any fluctuation. The man in front of him claimed to be Uchiha Madara, but he wasn't shocked at all.
Because for Itachi, it didn't matter whether the other party was Uchiha Madara or not, as long as they could help him.
That's all.
...
Hokage Building.
"Hokage-sama, we have a rough idea of what happened this morning."
An Anbu member rushed into the office and respectfully reported to Sarutobi Hiruzen: "We Anbu interrogated everyone present except Hoshigaki Kisame, and the clues to the perpetrator of the explosion all point to the 'Akatsuki' organization!"
"According to Hyuga Neji from the Hyuga clan, he was the first to encounter the mysterious masked man from the 'Akatsuki' organization. The other party seemed to be very worried that Hyuga Neji's Byakugan could see his face. So, the masked man wanted to kill Hyuga Neji."
"But... Uzumaki Naruto and the others arrived in time to save Hyuga Neji and started fighting with the mysterious masked man..."
The Anbu ninja reported all the information he had obtained, and he was very detailed.
Even the details of the battle between the kids and Uchiha Obito were explained in detail by the Anbu ninja.
The things he knew were heard from Naruto and the others, in fact, he was just relaying them to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
He spoke for more than ten minutes.
The Anbu ninja was dry-mouthed from talking.
And Sarutobi Hiruzen was frowning.
"Akatsuki, mysterious masked man, second mysterious masked man, Ninjutsu, Taijutsu and Ninja Tools can't touch him, an upcoming 'big drama'..." Sarutobi Hiruzen was good at catching the key points.
He picked up the pipe next to him, stuffed a bit of tobacco into it, lit it with a match, and took a deep puff.
With this puff of smoke, the spicy sensation lingering in his mouth made his dull brain a bit clearer.
"If I remember correctly, Orochimaru also joined the Akatsuki." This information was learned from Kakashi.
"Have you figured out what the Akatsuki's goal is?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen asked the Anbu ninja with a frown.
"Not yet." After the Anbu ninja answered, he continued:
"Hokage-sama, Nara Shikaku asked me to relay a suggestion to you... Conduct a search of the entire Konohagakure village and find the two members of the Akatsuki."
"Shikaku's suggestion?" Sarutobi Hiruzen took another puff of his cigarette: "Just do as he said!"
His eyes flashed with a hint of cold light.
"Not every small fry can mess around in Konohagakure!"
"I'm just old."
"I'm not dead yet!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen would never allow the people of the Akatsuki to carry out such destructive actions in his Konohagakure.
Facing Kumogakure Village, a large ninja village, and the Whitebeard Pirates, such an outrageous existence, Sarutobi Hiruzen, considering the recent weakness of Konohagakure village, might not be able to stand up to them.
But if he's facing the Akatsuki, a newly rising organization, even if none of the members are simple characters.
As the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen still has some confidence.
He can still barely hold on.
...
Meanwhile.
Konohagakure Prison.
"Akatsuki?" Danzo, lying on a bed, looked somewhat gloomy. The word "Akatsuki" brought back some very bad memories, as he had once had contact with the Akatsuki.
Of course, the contact he had was not a good cooperation with the Akatsuki.
Instead, he had secretly conspired with Hanzo of Amegakure, deceiving Sarutobi Hiruzen, and played a trick on the Akatsuki.
In the end, he killed the leader of the Akatsuki, Yahiko.
But the problem is...
"That little devil called Pain!" Danzo's eyes flashed with intense dread. He understood the Akatsuki better than Sarutobi Hiruzen, so his reaction was more intense.
Remembering the terror of those eyes.
Danzo still felt a chill in his heart to this day.
"But..." Danzo's thoughts quickly returned to calm, and he murmured: "It seems that it's not that guy who came, but a mysterious person wearing a mask and hiding his head."
"You said his mask only reveals one eye? And that eye is a Sharingan? And he calls himself Uchiha Madara?"
Danzo turned his head to look at the member of the Root next to him.
"Danzo-sama, that's how the kids described that person." The Root member replied, kneeling on one knee.
After hearing this, Danzo realized.
It's not that Pain.
He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Danzo didn't know about the cooperation between Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Obito, and he wasn't very clear about why the people of the Akatsuki suddenly appeared... what was going on.
"Hmph! It's an unknown Uchiha clan member? The Uchiha are indeed born evil! I hope that guy doesn't ruin my good deeds!"
Danzo's eyes were gloomy, and he gritted his teeth: "Otherwise, I will definitely kill all the members of the Akatsuki!"
He had been preparing for this day for too long.
He would not allow the suddenly emerging Akatsuki to destroy his plan.
Obviously...
Danzo didn't know that Itachi had secretly gone to find the Akatsuki behind his back.
While he didn't trust Itachi very much.
Itachi also didn't trust Danzo.
...
"I didn't expect that we wouldn't have to go to school today."
On the other side, Shikamaru and the others, who had been interrogated for more than two hours, finally "escaped" from the encirclement of a group of Jonin.
They didn't expect these Jonin to be so inquisitive.
They almost asked what they had for breakfast in the morning.
Shikamaru put his hands behind his head.
In his mouth, he was chewing on a small grass that he didn't know where he had broken off from. He chewed on the grass and muttered: "Thank goodness Hinata called that shark-faced uncle over in time, and thank goodness Naruto saved us at the critical moment, otherwise we would have been done for."
Shikamaru, Chouji, Naruto, Hinata, Karin, Neji, Haku... The seven kids were probably in such a position.
Each of them walked down the road with a complex expression on their face.
Who could have expected something like this to happen?
Shikamaru was right.
Naruto saved them at the critical moment, and Hinata called for a strong helper at the critical moment.
It was truly a lifesaving grace.
"My chips are gone..." Chouji, on the side, had a mournful face. He searched all the pockets of his clothes, only to find that the two bags of chips he had in his pocket were all gone.
Shikamaru rolled his eyes: "Stupid Chouji, you've injured a civilian, it's already good that you weren't scolded by those adults, and you still care about whether you have chips or not!"
"Oh! Right!" Chouji suddenly remembered: "He wouldn't... have been killed by me, right?!"
At this moment, Chouji was a little scared.
Even he himself didn't know why he was so impulsive at that time? Why was he so angry?
"Don't worry, he's still alive." Karin, who knew a bit about medical Ninjutsu, comforted: "Although that person has seven broken ribs, and one of them has pierced into the lung, left leg shattered fracture, nose bridge fracture, front teeth knocked off, right arm fracture, three fingers dislocated, mild concussion, large area of skin bruising and abrasions..."
"But..." Karin added: "That person is indeed still alive, just don't know how many days he needs to lie in the hospital."
Chouji was dumbfounded.
Karin continued to speak without shocking words: "Don't worry! Even if you kill him, as long as you join our Whitebeard Pirates, no one dares to punish you."
Chouji scratched his head.
He thought Naruto's family was so fierce!
"It's my fault." Neji, who was walking at the end, took a deep breath and said with mixed feelings: "If you hadn't saved me, this wouldn't have happened."
"Stupid Neji!" Haku suddenly said something that made Neji stunned.
He didn't expect someone to call him a fool.
Haku smiled and said: "Not to mention that the masked man and our Whitebeard Pirates have some grudges, but you are our classmate, we can't just sit by and do nothing!"
"Moreover..." Haku continued to smile: "You are the first friend I made in Konohagakure village!"
Neji's slightly lost expression was stunned.
So Haku considered him a friend?
"brother Neji... at this time, Hinata's weak voice also rang out: "Sorry, sorry..."
"Hmm?" Neji looked at Hinata.
Hinata whispered: "Brother Haku... told me some things about you, I didn't know that kind of thing had happened..."
"...." Neji was silent.
He wasn't blaming Haku for telling Hinata about his past.
But he didn't understand why his father's cause of death couldn't be revealed?
His father died for the head of the main family.
He died for the young lady of the main family.
As a result, the young lady of the main family, who was one of the parties involved, didn't know what had happened at all, wasn't this hiding the cause of her father's death?
Is it to consider the face of the family?
The face of the Hyuga clan...
Is it more important than life?
"Huh? What's the matter?" Chouji didn't notice that the atmosphere on the scene was a bit strange, he scratched his head and asked curiously.
"Stupid Chouji!" Shikamaru gave Chouji a kick with a black face: "Don't say something inappropriate!"
Chouji cried out in pain.
Holding his foot and jumping up and down.
"Heh, what else could it be?" Having experienced a life-and-death crisis, Neji seemed to have seen through a bit, he smiled indifferently: "It's nothing more than my father becoming Hinata's father's scapegoat. The person who should have died didn't die, the person who shouldn't have died, died, it's just an ordinary thing."
A short sentence made Chouji realize that he had caused trouble.
He found that he had inadvertently opened the scars of two people.
And he accidentally learned about the past of a ninja clan.
"Brother Neji, you also think this is wrong, right?" Hinata plucked up the courage to say: "The fate of the branch family should not be like this, they should not be branded with the bird cage, the main family should not take for granted the sacrifice of the branch family."
"I... I think, the tradition of the Hyuga clan is wrong!" Hinata continued: "Brother Neji, what do you think?"
Neji looked at Hinata with a bit of scrutiny.
But this scrutiny quickly turned into astonishment.
Because he found that although Hinata's tone was weak, the determination in her eyes was something he had never seen before.
Neji had known Hinata for several years.
He also often practiced Gentle Fist with Hinata.
He considered himself to know this young lady of the main family very well, but he didn't expect that the side of Hinata that is now showing is a side that he considers very strange, so strange that it doesn't look like Hinata.
If it weren't for the slight lack of confidence that Hinata revealed when she was speaking, Neji would have thought it was someone else.
"What's right and what's wrong? Fate has already been set by powerful people, what has happened has already happened, everything has already been settled."
Neji's tone was not very fluctuating.
But it could reveal his pessimism.
"But... but Brother Neji, do you want this wrong thing to continue?" Hinata couldn't help but say: "Don't you want to change the future?"
Hinata, who had said so much, was getting more and more courageous.
She paused and continued: "Pops also told me that wrong things should be corrected in time! I know that the division between the branch family and the main family is wrong, I want to change all of this in the Hyuga clan, this is also the path I want to take in the future!"
"I want the Hyuga clan to have no main family and branch family in the future! The Hyuga clan is just the Hyuga clan, there is no so-called main family, there is no so-called branch family!"
Hinata's voice gradually grew louder.
Hearing this, a group of brats looked at her.
Even Neji didn't expect these words to come out of Hinata's mouth.
Neji's eyes were very astonished.
He had no idea what Hinata had been through, how could she change so much in such a short time? This is completely different from the young lady of the Hyuga clan he remembered.
Oh, right.....
Neji suddenly remembered that Hinata had already been cut off from the Hyuga main family by those high-ranking elders of the Hyuga clan.
Now Hinata is no longer the so-called young lady of the main family, she is also a member of the branch family.
Is it because she has become a branch family, so she will put her vision and position on the branch family. When the stone hit her, did she finally know the pain?
No, no...
Neji remembered that Hinata had chosen to join the Whitebeard Pirates when she was not completely cut off from the main family.
His thought just now seems to be a bit of a small-minded.
"....." Neji didn't know how long he had been silent.
His heart flashed with one thought after another.
Some pain, some emotion, some memories, some relief
In the end
In front of a group of little kids under the public eye.
Neji took out a scroll from his bosom.
Although the scroll was soaked with a lot of water, it did not affect its use, but he did not use it, but threw the scroll to Hinata.
Hinata hurriedly reached out to catch it.
But she didn't catch it.
Hinata was startled, quickly bent over, picked up the scroll, and curiously asked Neji: "Brother Neji, what is this?"
"This is the 'Caged Bird Seal' that the 'Hyuga Elder' wanted me to engrave on you." Neji's answer was expressionless, but it was shocking.
He saw the shadow of resisting fate from Hinata.
Even such a weak person dares to resist fate.
Even want to reverse the fate of the Hyuga clan.
Then does he, Hyuga Neji, have to accept the fate of peace?
Can't he resist again?
Even if he fails again.....
Even if he dies because of it.
It doesn't matter, right!
