I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

"That might just be a colleague from the secret service relaying a mission."

Zhi Shui defended himself.

However, he became increasingly less confident in his speech.

"Ah."

Huang merely gave a perfunctory hum and said nothing more.

Chapter 23 Spring

The moon is full at the treetop.

Uchiha Shisui stood alone before the waterfall, his usual cheerful and gentle demeanor now replaced by an inexplicable sorrow.

'Konoha was originally founded by the Senju and Uchiha clans, but now, the Senju clan's little princess is living outside the village.'

"After the Nine-Tails' attack, the Sarutobi clan naturally seized the core area that originally belonged to the Uchiha clan and continued to grow stronger."

"Shisui-kun, can you help Naruto find out his origins and clear his name of the fox demon while you're in the Anbu?"

'Itachi was secretly contacting people outside the clan.'

Recalling Huang's words, Shisui's mind was in complete chaos.

To clear Naruto's name?

Thinking about it carefully, the Hokage never gave himself a chance to get close to Naruto. Whenever it was their turn to monitor, they would always be distracted by other unexpected tasks.

However, at that time he only knew how to carry out missions and never thought about these things.

Could it be that everything is really as Huang said?

The Third Hokage never intended to help the Uchiha. The superficial maintenance of relations was merely a means to use the Uchiha's power to quell surrounding enemies and thereby deplete the clan's remaining strength.

On the battlefield, it seems that the Sarutobi clan is rarely seen.

Moreover, those vicious guys from Kirigakure were clearly skilled in Water Release, yet they deliberately had the Uchiha clan, who were skilled in Fire Release, stand in front of them.

In the seemingly frozen moment of time, Shisui thought of many things.

But he still refused to accept this fact.

'The Senju clan declined because Lord Tobirama divided his members into various clans, hoping that each clan could exchange resources and truly integrate into Konoha.'

'Lady Tsunade's departure was solely due to her disappointment during the war.'

"The Mangekyou Sharingan does indeed have the ability to control the Nine-Tails. The Third Hokage's arrangement was for the greater good, to quell the doubts of other clans."

'Naruto.......'

'Naruto might indeed be the Fourth Hokage's son, but this is all a cover-up by the Hokage to protect Naruto. After all, Lord Minato had too many enemies in the past.'

Uchiha Shisui kept thinking and overturning his ideas.

He simply couldn't believe that the kind, white-haired old man was deceiving him.

As for Itachi...

"Zhishui, you called for me."

The call that reached his ears broke Uchiha Shisui's thoughts.

"Yes, I've found out why Ara wanted to kill you."

Looking at the unusually familiar young man beside him, images of playing, training, and going on missions together flooded back, and he tried his best to suppress some of the negative thoughts deep in his heart.

Itachi Uchiha did not answer immediately, but the knowing look in his eyes betrayed his feelings.

That guy really did want to eliminate me.

However, he also learned something during these few days.

Huang had no contact with the masked man; on the contrary, the man revealed two pieces of information to him:

First, he comes from Xiao, an independent organization that has been established for a long time and does not belong to any power. It is dedicated to creating a peaceful world without war.

Secondly, he used to belong to the Uchiha clan, but now he has no attachment to this corrupt clan and his purpose in returning is only to see old friends.

Of course, Itachi wouldn't believe the reason for his return.

“Huang said that you have recently been in contact with people from outside the tribe.”

"In addition, there are growing voices of dissatisfaction with you within the clan, so they want to eliminate this threat."

Uchiha Shisui spoke slowly, without any concealment.

Because Itachi was his best friend in the clan.

Just as he said at the trial, he absolutely trusted Itachi.

"Well, I see."

Itachi responded slowly.

Huang actually noticed that the guy had infiltrated the clan, something he hadn't anticipated.

But this makes sense.

"So, who is that person?"

Zhi Shui asked the question very seriously.

Regardless of Itachi's response, he would believe in his ANBU colleagues, his foreign allies, and so on without hesitation.

But.......

"I'm sorry, I can't say yet."

Itachi Uchiha's eyes were filled with apology; he was unwilling to make up a lie to deceive his mentor and friend.

Because that person wanted to make a deal with me.

The transaction involved Sasuke.

"Well, it's okay."

Shisui's mood dipped slightly, but she still maintained an expression of nonchalance.

Ara made no attempt to conceal his reasons for wanting to kill Itachi, even though he knew that such a flimsy reason would lead him to utter ruin.

Similarly, he told Itachi about Ara's story without reservation, but the response he received was like this...

That masked man was definitely not a colleague from the Dark Division.

If Uchiha Ara's words have already proven one of them, then are the others also true?

Zhi Shui was confused.

.......

Standing at the entrance to the clan's territory, he hesitated and did not move forward.

The lights were still on in his field of vision, and the aroma of rice still lingered in the air. This used to be his favorite route to take after training every day.

But in just a few days, it became the road he feared most.

He had clearly made all the necessary preparations when he was challenged to a duel.

But why do I still feel uneasy when I get here?

Perhaps it's because she doesn't want to lose the care and attention her people have given her over the past five years.

After hesitating for a long time, he still walked forward along the road.

'boom. ’

A loud bang came from beside my ear; someone had slammed the door shut.

Although Huang's expression remained unchanged, his heart clenched suddenly with the loud bang.

"Tch, still alive? What bad luck."

A night patrolman passed by, cursing without any attempt to conceal his anger, as if afraid that the person he was referring to wouldn't hear him.

Huang ignored him and continued walking forward.

The lamplight slowly stretched his shadow, making him look desolate and lonely.

He also experienced for the first time the feeling of being rejected by Naruto Uzumaki. The difference was that this was only the first day for him, while Naruto had been going on for years and would continue to do so.

'Splash, splash, splash.'

As they approached their dwelling, a piercing sound emanated from the small courtyard.

Huang silently approached, only to find Quan with his back to him sweeping up rubble and broken glass.

"Please stop littering, or I will tell the elders!"

Uchiha Izumi didn't turn around but continued cleaning while issuing a stern warning.

Upon hearing this, Huang felt as if his heart was being tightly gripped by an invisible hand, causing him inexplicable pain.

Having received no response, Izumi quietly stopped what he was doing and abruptly turned around.

"shortage!"

She called out, her voice trembling.

But then Quan suddenly seemed to remember something and quickly moved her body, trying to cover up the mess in the courtyard, but what could her slender body possibly hide?

You're blocking my doorway.

a long time.

Uchiha Arase responded coldly.

He doesn't want to have anything to do with Sister Quan right now, otherwise it will definitely cause her trouble.

However, when those words were spoken, his world seemed to be completely darkened, as if all the lights had been turned off.

'Snapped. '

A loud slap landed unexpectedly on Huang's face.

The sealed-off dark world was thus blasted open, creating a crack.
