Startled by the sudden turn of events, his hand trembled, and the matches he was holding fell to the ground.
Moreover, it wasn't just the Third Hokage who was like this; there were many similar situations within Konoha.
Most of them are ninjas with a certain level of sensory perception.
As for why no one else came besides the Anbu, it was all thanks to Mito Uzumaki.
With Kagura's keen insight, she immediately knew that Uchiha Seiryu had pulled off something big.
So she put down the bowl in her hand and rushed to the Hokage Building as fast as she could.
After explaining to Hiruzen Sarutobi, he relayed the message to everyone in Konoha through the Hokage.
The reason is this: it's a misunderstanding; these were fireworks that Mito Uzumaki set off for Tsunade to play with.
This lame excuse and perfunctory attitude speak for themselves.
Aside from frightening some sensory ninjas, the fireworks display caused no damage whatsoever.
People who lack the ability to perceive are actually quite happy.
Fireworks at this time of year are only seen during festivals.
So most people are even somewhat grateful to Mito Uzumaki.
We thank her for adding a festive atmosphere to the somewhat sorrowful Konoha.
It eased the pain in people's hearts caused by the war.
Hiruzen Sarutobi is not among those thanking this person.
As the village's patron, even a fireworks display under the guise of a performance still requires his approval.
In Hiruzen Sarutobi's view, Mito Uzumaki's excuses were undoubtedly a sign that he didn't take him seriously.
However, due to Mito Uzumaki's status, prestige, and strength...
He could only grit his teeth and swallow his anger.
Mito Uzumaki didn't think about it in that way.
However, her identity as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki made her sense that Hiruzen Sarutobi's malice towards her had increased.
She frowned, looked at the expressionless Sarutobi in front of her, and sighed.
"Hiruzen, it was my fault this time. I apologize to you."
Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression softened somewhat, but the resentment in his heart remained unchanged.
This, of course, did not escape Mito Uzumaki's notice.
She took on this task to ensure that the information about the Uchiha Seiryu clan would not be leaked.
Logically speaking, it was indeed Uchiha Seiryu who was in the wrong.
However, before things could escalate, Mito Uzumaki promptly offered an explanation, and in the end, it didn't cause any major impact.
If Hiruzen Sarutobi, as the Hokage, were to be so petty and narrow-minded, that would be the most terrifying thing.
Because he would be jealous of the talented and virtuous, and would prevent the next generation from taking the throne.
Furthermore, harboring malice towards the village's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is not a good thing.
Mito Uzumaki felt a little sad at this moment.
She understood that the little monkey from before would never come back.
But what she didn't understand was that power is a tool that can corrupt people.
While some people can maintain their integrity in the face of power, Hiruzen Sarutobi is clearly not one of them.
Chapter 42 The Aftermath of the Fireworks
Unlike Mito Uzumaki's place, Tsunade's place was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
After Tsunade asked how fireworks came about, Uchiha Seiryu kept dodging the question.
But in the end, Tsunade was still the better one.
Uchiha Seiryu looked helplessly at Tsunade, who was clutching his clothes tightly, and raised his hands as if he had been defeated.
"Alright, alright, you've got me."
"I really can't tell you how fireworks came about right now; it wouldn't do either of us any good."
"How about this, let's make a deal."
Tsunade's eyes lit up when she heard about the agreement; she had never made any agreements with anyone before.
Upon hearing Uchiha Seiryu mention the promise, she thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement.
Seeing Tsunade nod, Uchiha Seiryu continued:
"Well then, if you still haven't figured out the secret of fireworks by the time you graduate from the Ninja Academy, then I'll tell you."
"As compensation, I'll take you to see it once a year, how about that?"
When she heard that she wouldn't know until she graduated from the Ninja Academy, Tsunade hesitated for a moment.
But as soon as he heard Uchiha Seiryu say that he could watch it once a year, he nodded his head as fast as a chick chasing a grain of rice.
Uchiha Seiryu couldn't help but chuckle when he saw it.
The laughter made Tsunade a little embarrassed, and she slowly stopped nodding.
Her eyes darted around for a moment, then she said softly:
"Thank you, Xingliu."
Uchiha Seiryu went to ask Tsunade what she wanted to thank him for.
Even if he's straight, he knows he shouldn't be courting death at this time.
He turned around and squatted down, gesturing for Tsunade to climb on top; it was time for them to go home.
Tsunade's face turned bright red, but she still obediently got into the car.
Neither of them spoke a word the entire way.
Or rather, what they wanted to say was already in each other's hearts.
The bond between the two was unbreakable at this moment.
When they returned to the Senju residence, Mito Uzumaki was sitting in the middle of the living room.
Uchiha Seiryu couldn't help but shrink back when he saw her.
He didn't tell us before he started causing trouble, and the trouble he caused was actually quite big.
A massive amount of chakra gathered above Konoha, making it seem to outsiders that someone had attacked the village.
Now I can safely return home, instead of being interrogated in the secret police's interrogation room.
It was mostly Mito Uzumaki who contributed.
Knowing he had made a mistake, Uchiha Seiryu could only manage an awkward smile.
Mito Uzumaki gave him a disapproving look, then glanced at Tsunade behind Seiryu Uchiha, and could only sigh heavily.
There was no other way; one was biological, and the other was adopted.
They are all my precious children, and I can't bear to do anything to them.
Mito Uzumaki could only say earnestly:
"Xingliu, if you want to do something like this again in the future, it would be better to tell me in advance."
"I still have some prestige in Konoha, so reporting this kind of thing in advance is a piece of cake."
"Just this once, and there won't be a next time, okay?"
Uchiha Seiryu then transformed into a chick and nodded incessantly.
But then, he thought of something.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke:
"Then I'll make it a note that we'll have a fireworks display every year at this time."
Hearing this, Mito Uzumaki almost lost her composure, but seeing Tsunade's expectant gaze beside her, she still agreed.
After that, she didn't say anything more, but told the two of them to go and rest.
Mito Uzumaki was actually quite curious about how Seiryu Uchiha had managed to do it.
The amount of chakra above Konoha is far beyond what a child could possess.
It is in no way inferior to her own chakra.
Moreover, the mastery of fire techniques revealed by the fireworks was beyond the reach of most.
Even Madara Uchiha back then was far inferior to Seiryu Uchiha.
Fireworks formed by flames have different shapes and temperatures.
This level of skill is simply beyond human capability.
But since Uchiha Seiryu himself didn't say anything, Uzumaki Mito didn't ask any more questions and continued to trust him.
She had a very open-minded view: battles among ordinary ninjas are essentially battles of intelligence.
Hidan is immortal, and Asuma was unaware of this, which led to his being tricked and killed.
With the information, Shikamaru immediately turned the tables and killed his opponent.
Jiraiya's intelligence allowed Naruto Uzumaki to better fight Pain and ultimately achieve victory.
Of course, this is a duel between ordinary ninjas.
Characters like Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju piloted Gundams that were each higher than the last.
You have information about him.
Are you capable of dealing with Susanoo, which is as tall as a mountain, or the True Thousand Hands, which can capture the Nine-Tails as easily as catching a chick?
Mito Uzumaki didn't know the exact strength of Seiryu Uchiha.
But keeping a ninja's ninjutsu secret is also a way of protecting that ninja.
