In the past, the other party's recklessness and barbarity were merely used as a tool to be used and a weapon to be controlled.

but now,

Unconsciously,

This knife is so heavy that it cannot be lifted, and so sharp that it can injure or even pierce the wielder himself!

"The size of the shadow cast by a giant tree is determined by its branches and leaves."

"No branches, no green leaves."

"The darkness within the shadows is ultimately nothing."

Hiruzen Sarutobi appeared to have aged decades, and his words were filled with a sense of vicissitude and weight.

Although many people present could not understand what the old man and the young man were saying or what they were having a conversation about.

but,

Yet they seemed to vaguely sense that...

This time, it's Uchiha Ara who's in a high position, not their Hokage!

Does it govern Danzo (the Buddha's name) and the root (the Root)?

Huang pondered the meaning hidden within and weighed the pros and cons.

Clearly, this is all the promises the other side can make, and breaking them would mean war.

Ok,

The size of the shadow was indeed created by the scattered branches and leaves of the giant tree.

but,

The roots hidden underground are out of control!

Ara scoffed at the idea that he could completely dominate and control the ambitious Shimura Danzo.

but,

Three months of buffer and stability,

enough.

"Then let me see how much the giant tree can control the shadows."

"Well, even without this constraint, the sun's inextinguishable flames could burn them to ashes."

The retreat of the wilderness,

The terrifying aura that had been emanating from the area also subsided.

But as he passed the old man, whose back was now slightly hunched and whose body was trembling, he whispered something in a voice only the two of them could hear:

"Of course, at that time, it won't just be the shadows that will be destroyed,"

"And then there's the colossal tree perched atop it."

After saying that, without even looking at the expression on the other person's face, Huang walked towards the clansmen who were waiting for him.

"Oh, right."

As if remembering something,

The boy, who had already started walking towards the clan's territory, suddenly stopped and turned to look at the Third Hokage, who stood in the center of the area like an old man, and slowly spoke:

"Speaking of spoiling,"

"Isn't Sarutobi Konohamaru, the young master of a noble family, the one who is truly spoiled?"

"Compared to other people's offspring, that guy was practically raised in a sugar jar."

"suggestion,"

"We must not let him continue to be so unruly. After all, not everyone is wary and respectful of the title of the Hokage's grandson."

"Don't mess with anyone you shouldn't."

"When the time comes, it will be quite a sad scene for the elderly to send off their children."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.

They all knew the Uchiha clan's arrogance and unruliness, and that this clan was nothing short of madmen.

but,

I never imagined that the other party would say such outrageous things!

After all, he's the Hokage's grandson!

The threatening words shocked Hiruzen Sarutobi so much that he almost fell over.

If Konohamaru were to be implicated because of his impulsiveness and his insistence on using the Uchiha Hado technique, he would be caught in the crossfire.

Then,

He will remember this pain, this regret, this despair for the rest of his life!

【Yeah,】

Is this your revenge?

[In retaliation for me using your people as a threat.]

With great difficulty, Hiruzen Sarutobi, his gaze trembling, looked at the indifferent boy.

He clearly understood one thing.

Since the other party dared to issue such a warning in front of everyone in such a straightforward manner, it means one thing.

It will definitely be able to do it!

At the same time, Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly realized why the other party did not choose to protect Naruto Uzumaki when 'Iwajuu' launched an attack.

This is because, when it comes to the safety of their own people, the former is simply not a priority!

Ultimately, these two little guys were just kindred spirits who resonated with each other at a certain historical stage, and had no other emotional ties.

【Oh,】

[So the lives of two secret agents aren't enough for me to understand your will?]

Gazing at the boy who, though in the same place, felt as if separated by mountains and seas,

Hiruzen Sarutobi's sorrow grew increasingly intense.

After conveying his will without reservation, Ara hesitated for a moment before finally looking at Naruto Uzumaki, who had maintained a desire to speak from the very beginning.

Doubt, apology, confusion, and so on—so many emotions and so many words were written on the little guy's face.

but,

A sense of distance growing ever wider made it difficult to know where to begin.

Therefore,

Breaking free from this obsession is still a wasteland.

"Naruto, your eyesight was pretty good just now."

"While Iruka Umino is protecting you."

Well, I hope you'll be a little different when we meet next time.

"You are too weak right now; you can't know anything or change anything."

"Goodbye."

After saying that, without waiting for any reaction from the person involved, Huang turned around and walked into the darkness.

The clansmen beside him also gradually withdrew while maintaining orderly vigilance.

And just after the Uchiha clan withdrew,

A figure filled with fear arrived here in a daze, guided by the other ninjas.

"H-Hokage-sama."

His voice trembled, and his lips were dry, as if he was trying his best to control his emotions.

"explain."

Hiruzen Sarutobi, already in a bad mood, remained silent.

'Gulp.'

After swallowing hard, the visitor forced himself to suppress his fear and lingering apprehension, and said in a trembling voice:

"Uchiha Ara,"

"Uchiha Arata has shattered the gate again!"

........

........

The starlight shimmered.

The secluded path was quiet and long.

After entering the clan's territory, the clansmen following Huang automatically dispersed, even though they had many things they wanted to say to their clan leader after what had happened that night.

But they also knew that they were not the first ones who should be listened to by the clan leader.

Gently push open the door, which is filled with warm light.

A beautiful young girl wearing an apron sat quietly at the dining table, which was filled with food that was still slightly steaming, indicating that it had just been prepared.

"I am back."

Huang said softly.

All the repression and violent emotions in my heart seemed to vanish completely at this moment.

"Welcome back."

Quan rose gracefully, her long, black hair, like exquisite satin, cascading down her shoulders. The curve of her eyes made the flickering lamplight and the starlight outside seem to dim at that moment.
