It's normal for the story to change.

'Nonou is my future Minister of Public Security, how dare someone try to steal him away?'

The thought that Danzo was trying to steal his things made Uchiha Seiryu somewhat angry.

He had already made clear arrangements for Yakushi Nonou, and he definitely wouldn't let her go to Danzo.

Moreover, Danzo's roots were not in a good place either.

They are either brainwashed puppets or have been planted with the curse of 'the root of calamity' in their mouths.

It is clear that Danzo truly used them as tools.

Finally, it is the most important point.

The First Hokage founded Konoha with the intention of ensuring that children could grow up healthy adults.

Danzo dared to harm children even before Mito was too old to move.

There were also many older generation members who were attracted by the First Hokage's proposal and joined Konoha, but they are still alive and well.

Is it that Danzo has become arrogant, or that Mito Uzumaki has lost her ability to wield a sword?

'Danzo, you handed this sword to me yourself.'

Thinking of this, Uchiha Seiryu looked at Nonou in front of him and said comfortingly:

"Nonou, we're comrades."

"If there's anything you can't solve, feel free to tell us, and we'll all help you."

Upon hearing this, Nono's lips trembled slightly.

But in the end, after biting her lip, she shook her head and said:

"I'm really fine."

Chapter 44 Danzo presents a sword; 'A small gift with a great meaning'

In Nonou's mind, the Hokage is the person with the most authority in the village.

Danzo obtained the Hokage's consent by presenting the Hokage's official documents.

Even Uchiha Seiryu couldn't help her.

In fact, in order not to burden others, she had decided to bear it all alone.

So after hesitating, Nono still didn't tell Uchiha Seiryu what had happened.

But it was precisely because of Nono's hesitation that Uchiha Seiryu realized that his guess was pretty much right.

However, since Nono didn't want to talk about it, Uchiha Seiryu didn't force her.

Danzo's Root couldn't have targeted only Nono; there must have been other victims.

With the power of a thousand hands, a simple search would be enough to find several.

If Danzo was simply recruiting some ninjas who had graduated, then it would certainly be in accordance with the proper procedures.

However, when he targeted the children of the ninja village, he still used methods of coercion and bribery.

This touched upon a taboo in Konoha: children are a bottom line for humanity in any world.

Now that Danzo has made his move, Uchiha Seiryu felt he had to take immediate action.

To avoid causing unnecessary losses to Konoha's future.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Seiryu said to Tsunade:

"Tsunade, I have an urgent matter to attend to and need to go back. Could you please ask Tsuchiki-sensei for leave for me? Thank you."

Tsunade rolled her eyes and said:

"You asked for leave on the second day of school? Aren't you afraid the teacher will make things difficult for you?"

Uchiha Seiryu smiled but did not answer Tsunade's question.

For Uchiha Seiryu, Tsuchiki Satoshi's teaching methods were not suitable for him.

He went to school to interact with his classmates and build bonds with them.

When things get to a certain point, he might start leading a bunch of people to skip class.

At that time, Tu Qizhi will definitely be unhappy with him.

But someone who can be the teacher of this class is certainly not a fool.

Even if Tsuchiki Satoshi dislikes him, as long as Uchiha Seiryu's grades keep up, he will turn a blind eye.

Therefore, Uchiha Seiryu was not worried about the situation Tsunade mentioned.

He pointed at Nonou and said:

"Please, I really have something very important to tell Grandma Mito. It's about Nonou."

Tsunade didn't know why what Uchiha Seiryu was talking about was related to Nono.

But seeing how seriously he spoke, I knew this was no small matter.

So Tsunade got serious and agreed to help Uchiha Seiryu ask for leave.

After seeing Tsunade nod, Uchiha Seiryu turned and left.

Nono, who witnessed everything, was deeply moved, but she didn't know how to stop Uchiha Seiryu's actions.

Just as she was hesitating, Uchiha Seiryu had already left.

Seeing Uchiha Seiryu leave, Nono quickly got up, wanting to chase after him and stop him.

But as soon as she left her seat, Uchiha Seiryu's figure blurred and then disappeared instantly at the door.

Nono reached out her hand, as if to say something.

Seeing Nono like this, Tsunade walked up to her and comforted her:

"Don't be afraid, Xingliu is the kind of kid who wouldn't do something he's not sure of."

"Besides, my grandma is here too."

Nonou is not the shrine maiden she will become. Although she is as kind as ever now, she is not as strong as she will be later.

Especially after seeing that Uchiha Seiryu was preparing to intervene in this matter, she finally couldn't bear it anymore and burst into tears.

When Nono started crying, Tsunade was at a loss for what to do, so she could only step forward and gently hug her.

.....

After leaving the classroom, Uchiha Seiryu used the Body Flicker Technique to travel.

Compared to the slow ninja run, the Body Flicker consumes more stamina and chakra.

However, this amount of energy expenditure is less than the speed at which the Uchiha Seiryu recovers.

The speed of the Body Flicker is still very fast, let alone the Body Flicker of the Uchiha Hoshiryu who doesn't care about the consumption of energy.

Before long, he returned to the Thousand Hands Mansion.

Mito Uzumaki was sitting in a chair, basking in the sun and drinking tea.

When she saw that Uchiha Seiryu had returned, she was slightly surprised, but not much.

She knew that Uchiha Seiryu was a sensible child, and he wouldn't come back for no reason.

Sure enough, the next moment, Uchiha Seiryu said something that made her pupils shrink.

"Grandma Mito, I suspect someone in the village is harming the children."

Upon hearing this, Mito Uzumaki immediately stood up straight.

Those who survived the Warring States period know the cruelty of that era.

Hatred and self-interest intertwine on this land, driven by a desire for revenge against other ninja clans and a desire to sever the future hopes of other ninjas.

Children born into the ninja clan are constantly at risk of assassination.

Moreover, at the most critical moment for the ninja clan, as long as they can pick up a kunai...

Children also need to go to the battlefield and sacrifice themselves.

Mito Uzumaki's Uzumaki clan was no exception; many of their children were assassinated at a very young age.

Back then, every parent lived cautiously.

They were terrified that their child would be gone the next day.

Hashirama Senju established Konoha so that children could grow up safely and adults wouldn't have to live in fear.

But now, Uchiha Seiryu tells him that someone has laid a vicious hand on the child.

This left Mito Uzumaki in disbelief at first, followed by extreme anger.

Looking at Mito Uzumaki's ashen face, Seiryu Uchiha continued:

“There is a girl in our class who appears to have been threatened.”

After saying that, Uchiha Seiryu said nothing more.

Mito Uzumaki is such a smart person; no matter how much I say, she will investigate on her own.

So let the truth speak for itself.

After all, Uchiha Seiryu didn't wrong Danzo; he really did it.

Mito Uzumaki quickly snapped out of her anger, then took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

He turned around and said to Uchiha Seiryu:

"I will investigate this matter; please do not make a fuss about it."

“Bring that girl back. She can stay with me for a while.”

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Seiryu had no objection.

He nodded, and then said:

"Grandma, I've already taken the day off. Why don't I go with you to investigate? Actually, I already have some ideas."

Mito Uzumaki glanced at Seiryu Uchiha with surprise, not understanding why he was so concerned.
