Comparison of the two Hokage: Both ninja worlds are devastated.

Uchiha Mori was indeed her grandfather, and he loved her dearly, but he was also the clan's elder.

It's impossible to act recklessly and arbitrarily.

After crying for a long time, seeing that her grandfather remained unmoved...

In despair, Mikoto quietly clutched a kunai that she had previously hidden in her sleeve.

He thought to himself:

"I'm sorry, Uehara-kun. If that day ever comes, I will find a way to live up to your expectations."

No matter what, and for whatever reason, she would never marry anyone other than Uehara Shinmei.

……

Chapter 95 Ten years of honing a sword, its frosty edge yet to be tested.

Outside, there was a great deal of discussion, a great uproar, and a huge uproar.

In the Senju clan's territory, Uehara Shinmei, the person directly involved, was surprisingly calm.

He didn't act like he was going to die, nor did he show any particular resentment or outburst of anger.

They continued to eat and drink as usual, carefree and at ease, as if nothing concerned them.

In the stillness of the night, the moonlight is soft and beautiful.

On the roof of a small building, Uehara Siming sat with his legs crossed on the ridge.

Holding a jade flute in both hands, he gently brought it to his lips, and the melodious flute music instantly spread in all directions.

The sound of the flute is inherently mournful, naturally carrying a sense of desolation, lingering tenderness, and sorrow, full of poetic imagery.

Just listening to its timbre and charm evokes a strange feeling in one's heart.

Uehara Siming even specially selected a particular piece of music.

A tear-jerking song that was famous in its previous life, regarded as a classic and a masterpiece, and sung for many years.

In the twists and turns,

The sound was mournful and indignant, sobbing and whimpering, as if one could see the flute player shedding tears.

Whose jade flute softly plays a tune that drifts on the spring breeze throughout Luoyang?

Hearing the "Willow Branches Breaking" melody on this night, who wouldn't feel longing?

The flute music was already captivating enough, enough to bring tears to one's eyes.

What's even more amazing is that,

He also possesses two god-level passive buffs: the strongest illusion technique, the Will of Fire, and the ability to give speeches with a mustache.

The emotions expressed in that song will be amplified infinitely in the hearts of all listeners.

It makes them unconsciously focus all their thoughts and feelings on the implied meaning of the music, and then feel infinitely moved.

Kushina, whose bond level was 100%, was completely heartbroken and cried her eyes out.

Uehara-kun just wanted to be in a relationship. He's such a good person, so why are so many people against it?

It hurts, it hurts too much.

Even Tsunade and the others gazed at the figure on the rooftop, which was somewhat blurry due to the darkness.

Startled and lost in thought.

Unlike Kushina, who was too young to comprehend the cruelty of political struggles,

They knew perfectly well that what appeared to be opposition from the village was actually opposition from higher levels of government.

What appears to be preventing a romantic relationship between two people is actually aimed at disrupting the political landscape and preventing the Uchiha clan from colluding with Uehara Shimei.

But it is precisely because of this understanding that one can better comprehend the implied meaning of the flute music and deeply feel its pain and sorrow.

Not to mention the Konoha citizens who personally experienced the entire incident,

At this very moment, countless viewers on the live stream were also moved to tears.

"It's outrageous that they would break up a loving couple just for their own benefit."

"Heh, the village's suppression and targeting of the Uchiha is really comprehensive and thorough, even controlling what kind of boyfriend they have."

"Uehara-kun has it so hard. He works so hard for the village and for the peace of the ninja world, and yet he is forced to do this."

"Music can touch the soul and convey feelings. The fact that it can be played so mournfully shows the grief and helplessness in one's heart."

"No wonder they were attacked and killed later. I just want to say to the higher-ups, with your actions, it's really not unfair at all, really."

"The journey of the Hokage has not been easy."

……

Jiraiya of the Ninja World:

"The Uchiha incident was likely a major reason why the Fourth Hokage didn't face much opposition after he became Hokage."

Because everyone realized from this incident that if they angered him, he would really dare to kill someone.

Unfortunately, none of our teachers, the Uchiha clan, or even any of us realized this at the time.

Jiraiya the Primordial (the spirit):

"The flute music was filled with disappointment, indignation, and sorrow; even I, as a listener, couldn't help but shed tears, which shows the grief in the heart of the person involved."

It must have been from this moment that he began to grit his teeth and resolve to kill the Third Hokage, and take control of and lead the village forward himself, right?

Tobirama Senju (the ghost) of the Ninja World:

"He is a man of deep feelings and true character, a real man, and deserves a toast."

Original Tsunade:

"He has both the ambition to change the ninja world and the romantic charm of poetry and wine. Such a man is indeed very attractive."

Mei Terumi of the Ninja World:

"Looking back on the most satisfying and fortunate thing in my life, without a doubt, it is following such a man and dedicating everything to him and his career."

Ayari Hyuga of the Ninja World:

"This man is like a poison, so irresistible. Everything about him, even his amorous nature, is so captivating."

……

……

The song is over.

While Uehara Siming was still in a daze,

A serpentine figure suddenly snaked and rose up from the side.

"Is Uehara-kun giving up?"

"Give up? Snake Uncle, is this the first time you've met me? There are only dead Uehara Simings, not retreating Uehara Simings."

The voice of the future Fourth Generation was filled with anger at being looked down upon, and mockery of certain narrow-minded and self-righteous people.

Logically speaking, this was indeed a dishonest act on their part.

Both Uchiha Mikoto and Uzumaki Kushina have extraordinary backgrounds, are incredibly talented, and are exceptionally good-looking, and even have outstanding personalities.

To have either one is a blessing, the kind of blessing that makes you laugh in your dreams.

The idea of ​​having women on both sides is simply a fantasy and utterly absurd.

Unfortunately, that person was never a good person.

In his eyes, worldly rules and morals were either worth exploiting or needed to be broken; they were not subject to any constraints whatsoever.

The goal that Uehara Shinmei was willing to strive for and fight for was very mundane from the beginning.

Power, money, beautiful women, fame, and even the smug feeling of being superior to others—it's all utterly vulgar.

Furthermore, they possess an extremely firm will, exceptionally clear thinking, and a crystal-clear understanding of the path ahead.

Even if they go to save the world, it's only because of a glorious image and a seemingly noble goal, making these things easier to obtain.

He wasn't particularly concerned about whether the world itself was destroyed or beautiful.

If you were to give up the beautiful woman you've already won over, the gentle, lovely, obedient, and docile Mikoto, for something so unattainable...

That would be tantamount to him being out of his mind; it's something only a fool would do, and it's unforgivable.

Not to mention, this also involves his cheat code.

The so-called sorrow, despair, grief,

All of this was merely a prelude to what he was about to do.

As soon as he said that,

In an instant, Orochimaru's hoarse laughter, mixed with madness, filled everyone's ears.

"Haha, Uehara-kun's magnanimity is as refreshing as ever."

"Snake Uncle, could you please pass a message to Mikoto, saying that I, Uehara Shinmei, have spoken?"

Tell her not to worry or despair no matter what happens, that I'll take care of everything.

As long as I'm alive, I will never stand by and watch her fall into the fire.

"Sure, but is Uehara-kun preparing for a major upheaval? Is it worth it for a woman?"

If the third generation were to respond in kind, he might have no choice but to defect, and everything he had built up would vanish in an instant.

That bastard Hiruzen Sarutobi actually dared to fight me to the death?

Uehara Siming almost blurted out a sentence.

However, considering that Orochimaru's bond level is not yet 100%,

He thought about it seriously for a moment, trying his best to appear less vulgar and more magnanimous, and said:

That's a good question.
