Boom! A wave of heat blew directly on Asuka Uchiha's back. He stopped and turned to look in the direction he came from.
The sky above the Nanga Shrine was dyed crimson by the flames, and from time to time a fireball exploded in the air, like a flaming firework, which looked quite spectacular from a distance.
It seems that none of the old guys were able to convince anyone else with their words.
"That," at this moment, Asuka suddenly heard a child's voice coming from the bushes next to him. When he looked for the source of the sound, he saw three children holding cameras looking towards the Nanga Shrine with horror on their faces, their voices trembling.
"Big brother, are the enemies here?"
Asuka walked up to the three children, reached out and touched their heads, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth, and shook his head.
"No, that's the Uchiha clan's shrine, they are discussing something."
Yeah? Looking at the huge fireballs exploding in the sky, the three children looked at Asuka doubtfully.
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a normal discussion. It's really scary. However, the handsome big brother will not lie to us.
"That's right!"
Asuka looked down at the three kids and the cameras in their hands, wondering. "You are not from the Uchiha clan, right? Why are you here?"
"That," the kid holding the camera waved it at Asuka, the fear on his face gradually replaced by excitement, "The Hokage's wedding day is coming soon, we want to find a place with a great view today and shoot a short video to send to the Hokage. Big brother, do you want to sing a song?"
Hmm? A blessing video. He had never met Minato Namikaze, so what was there to bless him with? Looking at the expectant eyes of the three children, Asuka tidied his hair and spoke.
"Good."
After the camera was turned on, he made a "yeah" gesture to the camera and said the blessing he had prepared long ago.
"Fourth Hokage-sama, Kushina-sama, congratulations on your marriage."
"Alright!"
After saying that, he waved to the three children and left.
He went back to pack his things and prepared to escape when the Fourth Hokage got married, because the defense was not tight at that time. With simple folk customs and beautiful scenery, Konoha is a village that combines technology and classicism, and you won't want to leave after just a few glances.
Asuka certainly didn't want to leave. But not only did he not have any advantages, his innate ability was several levels lower than those big guys who destroyed Konoha at the age of eight. He was also not good at speaking, and after traveling through eighteen years, he couldn't use his mouth to tell any tricks.
In the past, on the battlefield, he was stabbed by a kunai when he was trying to talk someone down.
Moreover, even if he changed an Uchiha Itachi, who knows if there will be a second Uchiha Itachi?
This thing is hard to guard against, and the key lies in the elders of Konoha.
After 18 years of hard training, he didn't know if he could beat Danzō now. Anyway, Sarutobi Hiruzen definitely couldn't beat "Lady Kushina" now.
Just when Asuka was distracted, he heard many villagers greeting respectfully in front of him. Looking in the direction of the sound, he saw Kushina with long red hair. She was standing in the middle of the street with a small basket, constantly greeting the villagers around her. The basket in her hand was full of baby supplies.
Looking at the maternal glow emanating from the "Red Hot-Blooded Habanero," Asuka's mouth twitched twice and a feeling of urgency arose in his heart.
"Is Uzumaki Naruto already on the way?"
When he passed by Kushina, he greeted her, then bought some food and went straight home.
Kushina was pregnant, which meant that there were less than 10 months until the Nine-Tails Night.
A month later, on the morning of the wedding.
Bang! Placing the package heavily on the table, Uchiha Asuka looked around the empty room and sighed softly in his heart.
During this month, he sold everything he could, and exchanged all the money for weapons such as kunai and explosive tags from Cat Granny.
Anything a rogue ninja buys is several times more expensive than what a regular ninja pays, and the main feature of those black marketeers is their evil hearts.
They are sure that you dare not cause trouble, and if you dare to cause trouble, others will report you.
It's a pity that the house cannot be sold, otherwise, I would have some money in my hands and buy some necessities.
During this month, he watched Kushina's belly grow bigger day by day, his heart was filled with anxiety, uneasiness, fear, emotion, and sadness. Although he had never even touched Kushina's hand, and the child in her belly was not his. But he was an Uchiha.
After the Night of the Nine-Tails, the survival of the Uchiha clan would take a sharp turn for the worse. Without a God's perspective, there was no way to explain the appearance of the Sharingan in the Nine-Tails' eyes.
And in the entire ninja world, all children know that the Sharingan belongs to the Uchiha family.
And in a few years, Itachi, the devoted son, will once again raise the butcher knife in his hand.
Looking out the window at the clan lands, after deeply memorizing this scenery that he has long been tired of seeing, he took out the forehead protector exclusive to Konoha ninjas from his arms and muttered to himself.
"Don't worry, I will burn paper for you during festivals!"
After saying that, he began to study the forehead protector in his hand.
After all, this is his first time as a rogue ninja and he doesn't have much experience. Should this thing be slashed horizontally or vertically?
[Ding]
[Host information detected, counterattack system activated] [Name: Uchiha Asuka]
[Age: 18 years old]
[Identity: Uchiha clan ninja]
[Strength: Jounin]
A very mechanical voice sounded in Asuka's ears.
He subconsciously drew out his kunai and looked around with a vigilant look on his face. However, after hearing the voice in his heart, Asuka was stunned for a moment. He didn't know whether he was excited or helpless. "Does your system require me to wait until I make up my mind to become a rogue ninja before I can bind to it?"
Regardless of the triggering conditions of the system, the system still has to be turned on.
[This system is a counterattack system, helping the host to successfully surpass Uzumaki Naruto and become the strongest in the ninja world]
[Do you want to receive the novice gift package]
Looking at the brief introduction of the system, a gleam of light flashed across Asuka's eyes. Just by looking at the brief introduction of the system, one can tell that this thing is very powerful.
He could actually make himself the strongest in the ninja world.
With excitement, Asuka opened the novice gift pack directly.
"Accept!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several items suddenly appeared on the empty table.
After taking a few deep breaths, he picked up the item that looked like a redemption voucher that had just appeared on the table, looked at the huge words on it, and read it subconsciously.
"The kids love the Honey Mustard Fried Chicken Family Bucket. Quantity: Unlimited. How to use: Crush it to summon."
After reading it, Asuka just stood there in a daze, not saying a word for a long time.
Is there any necessary connection between this thing and becoming stronger?
If he remembered correctly, eating too much fried chicken would make you fat, right?
Then he picked up a few other items, looked at the descriptions on them, and continued reading.
"Ninja School Textbook Knowledge Learning Acceleration Card (3 days). One day can be used as a whole month, saving you more time for training."
"A detailed explanation of the Ninja School's Will of Fire course. It contains the notes and insights of the various teachers in the Ninja School. Memorize it and you will be completely free from Danzō's prying eyes."
"A complete list of the habits and hobbies of all the teachers in the Ninja School. Memorize them and use them flexibly. Even if you skip classes to practice in the future, the teachers will turn a blind eye."
"A miniature camera with no battery or capacity limit. You can use it to record every minute of the Ninja School."
???
Asuka looked at the things on the table with a puzzled look on his face.
"System, I admit that the novice gift pack you gave me is pretty good. But have you noticed that this thing seems to be only available to students of the Ninja School?"
"System, what is my current strength?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the mechanical voice sounded again.
[Jounin! ]
"Did you give me the wrong gift pack for the novice? I've graduated from the Ninja School for eight years. Why did you give me this gift pack?"
[After inspection, no mistakes. ]
"My strength?"
[Jounin! ]
"Who is using the newbie gift pack you gave me?"
[Ninja school students! ]
"Did you send it to the wrong person?"
[That's right! ]
"Heh~heh~"
Asuka looked at the things on the table speechlessly. He put down his backpack, turned around, and walked towards the village park.
Let's put the defection on hold as the Fourth Hokage is about to start his feast, so let's go and have a meal first.
