The news of Yu Yi Xuan Yue's arrival in Konoha had already been communicated to the Yu Yi clan's secret agents in Konoha.

Sōsuke handed over his identity without the slightest hesitation, even though it meant he could never return to Konoha.

But the bamboo dragonfly is different.

During this period of time, he has not taken the initiative to contact me.

Or perhaps they came, but retreated when the time came.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue already had a guess at what this meant, so she calmly asked another question:

Where is the Fifth Hokage now?

As expected, the bamboo dragonfly remained silent.

After a short while, Flying Bamboo Dragonfly sighed and finally spoke, "I'm sorry, Chieftain."

"The reason," Yu Yi Xuan Yue said directly, her eyes fixed on Senju Hashirama's tombstone.

Feather Dragonfly's face flashed with a mix of emotions: guilt, panic, nostalgia, and relief.

After a moment of recollection, he answered slowly and heavily in an awkward tone:

"My grandfather, my father, my mother, and my wife all died fighting for Konoha."

"Don't you hate Konoha?" Hagoromo Gengetsu asked, looking at the solemn and dignified photo of Senju Hashirama on the tombstone.

“Hate? Of course I’ve felt hate.” Flying Bamboo Dragonfly’s eyes were filled with complex emotions. “But if I continue to hate like this, wouldn’t the sacrifices of my grandfather, my parents, and my wife be completely meaningless? Wouldn’t that be too ridiculous?”

"I'm sorry, clan leader. Although we are descendants of the Hagoromo clan, we have lived in Konoha for decades and have long since become completely integrated into it without realizing it. At least, those relatives who died were truly willing to fight for Konoha, rather than being forced into it."

Upon hearing this, Yu Yi Xuan Yue stretched out her palm, caught a leaf that fell from the sky, and traced the unique patterns on the leaf with her fingers, saying softly:

"So, the inheritor of the Will of Fire?"

“Yes!” Flying Bamboo Dragonfly said firmly.

Yu Yixuan understood.

He had anticipated this situation after taking over the Yu Yi clan in Sukuzen Village and understanding their current state.

Breaking down the whole into smaller parts and dispersing them is indeed an excellent way to ensure the continuation of a clan.

But this also brought about division.

No matter how much one emphasizes their background.

People from different ethnic groups, raised in different places, with different cultures and educations, have developed their own unique characteristics.

As time goes on, the signs of a complete breakup will only become more and more obvious.

Unless a highly respected and powerful person steps forward to reunite everything.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue is now playing this role.

But there are still some things that are difficult to change.

For example, the lineage of the flying bamboo dragonfly.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue can understand Fei Zhu Qing Ting's choice.

He wasn't angry. He casually tossed the leaf aside and reminded the other person, "Now that you've decided on your side, the worst thing you can do is waver. You should be bringing the main force of Konoha here, not coming alone."

Flying Bamboo Dragonfly shook her head with a wry smile: "Although I am now a member of Konoha, I still have Hagoromo's bloodline in my body. I can't possibly do something like harming the clan leader."

Upon hearing this, Yu Yi Xuan Yue shook her head and said, "Such an outcome will only bring you misfortune."

“I understand,” Flying Bamboo Dragonfly said with a firm gaze.

He took a deep breath and said to Yu Yi Xuan Yue, "As an intelligence agent for the Yu Yi clan in Konoha, I know that my betrayal will bring terrible consequences to the clan. Therefore, clan leader, I will end all of this with my death. I only ask one thing of you, clan leader."

"explain."

“My son. He has never left Konoha, nor does he know that he is a descendant of the Hagoromo clan. I only hope that he can live in Konoha without any burden, and not have to bear the heavy name of ‘Hagoromo’ like I did.”

Yu Yi Xuan Yue remained silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "I understand."

Then, he turned around and looked seriously at the flying bamboo dragonfly, saying, "I'm sorry. To be honest, it's because of me that we've all separated."

"Without a clan leader, the fate of the Feathered Robe Clan will only be worse."

Knowing the past, Feizhu Qingting spoke these words sincerely, and finally bowed deeply to Yuyi Xuanyue before turning and leaving.

He needed some time to say goodbye to his son.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue did not stop her.

Even if you guarantee that the secret will not be leaked after the intelligence agent who was lurking in his village betrays you, you will only be silenced.

This is the way of survival for a clan or a faction.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue understood this principle very early on.

He glanced one last time at Hashirama Senju's grave, then, having nothing more to say, turned and left.

We arrived at the bustling and lively street.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue casually helped a three- or four-year-old girl who was playing around with her friends and almost bumped into her.

The little girl politely thanked him, saying, "Thank you, uncle."

"Call me brother."

Yu Yi Xuan Yue patted the little girl's bun, and just then she saw an acquaintance. She gestured for the little girl to go play, and then walked over herself.

“I’ve seen that Feathered Crescent Moon with my own eyes; he’s terrifying. I’m worried that Sasuke might encounter some misfortune if he goes there.”

"Relax, Sakura. Although Sasuke's decision to betray the village without any hesitation makes me very angry, he's not stupid and must have his own judgment. Also, despite the fearsome reputation that Hagoromo Gengetsu has now, he's actually a very good person in some ways."

"A really good person? Yu Yi Xuan Yue? Ino, are you delirious from the fever? Let me touch your forehead."

"Go touch your own broad forehead. Sakura, I'm telling the truth. Really! My family has records of Hagoromo Gengetsu's life."

As soon as Yu Yi Xuan Yue approached, she heard Sakura and Ino talking about themselves.

He raised an eyebrow, inserted himself, and asked curiously:

"Sakura, Ino, I heard you two are talking about Hagoromo Gengetsu. I'm quite curious about this person too."

"What kind of person is Yu Yi Xuan Yue in your eyes?"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 87 What kind of person is Yu Yi Xuan Yue?

"Dr. Sousuke!!"

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Ino quickly turned around, her eyes lighting up as she greeted "Sousuke" with great surprise.

Although Sakura wasn't as excited as Ino, she still greeted Dr. Sosuke, who had taught her, with great affection.

"I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation. But hearing you talking about Yu Yi Xuan Yue has made me very interested in learning more about her."

Yu Yi Xuan Yue explained with a "sincere" expression.

He was curious about outsiders, not those high-ranking figures who thought everyone was like them, but the genuine opinions of ordinary people about him.

Upon hearing this, although she didn't understand why Dr. Sosuke was so interested in Hagoromo Gengetsu, Sakura still insisted on her own opinion without hesitation:

"Yu Yi Gengetsu must be a villain just like Orochimaru. Otherwise, why would the Hokage and everyone else be so wary of him?"

Upon hearing Sakura's words, Ino immediately stopped paying attention to the handsome guy and quickly retorted, "Being wary of someone is because of their strength, but that doesn't mean Hagoromo Gengetsu is a big bad guy. You have to look at what a person has done throughout their life to judge them."

"Forced to hand over the secret technique? Kidnapping Sasuke?" Sakura suddenly asked.

Ino's expression froze for a moment, then she waved her hands repeatedly and said, "These are different in nature, and besides, the minority cannot represent the whole."

Before Sakura could refute anything further, Ino put on an expression as if the mystery was about to be revealed and said, "You definitely won't believe it! Because of Hagoromo Gengetsu's appearance in the ninja world, I went to the clan's library and found a book that our ancestor recorded about Hagoromo Gengetsu's life."

"Ahem, as you all know, the Yamanaka clan has been around since the Warring States period. As experts in intelligence, they know a lot about the secrets of the ninja world."

"Everyone knows the fame of the Mountain Clan," Yu Yi Xuan Yue nodded.

Although not as powerful as the top ninja clans of the Warring States period, the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, with the Sarutobi clan as their ally, still wielded considerable influence in the ninja world at the time.

Sakura, who comes from an ordinary family, can only feel envious.

“So,” Ino snapped her fingers coolly and revealed the truth, “in the records of our ancestors, the real Yu Yi Gengetsu is completely different from what we, the descendants, imagine.”

"Sakura, do you still remember those knight novels and comics we read when we were little?"

Don't doubt that there are no knights in the Naruto world. You should know that this is a world where black people rap and can speak English fluently.

Upon hearing this, Sakura glanced at "Sousuke" embarrassedly and quickly waved her hand, saying, "We're already ninjas, why bring up things from our childhood?"

The thought of how she used to cling to those novels and comics as a child, fantasizing all day long about the handsome male protagonist riding a white horse to her, kneeling down to express his love, and how she had many embarrassing and shameful arguments with Ino over who would get the male protagonist, made Sakura feel like she was about to be executed.

However, Ino's next words instantly overwhelmed her shyness with shock.

"In fact, the actions of Yu Yi Xuan Yue during the Warring States period were very similar to those of knights and heroes in novels."

"What???"

Sakura immediately forgot about her embarrassing childhood incidents and asked incredulously, "Hagoromo Gengetsu? Knight? Hero?"

She simply couldn't make that connection.

That day, Yu Yi Gengetsu walked towards us, and even a wisp of her aura made us tremble with fear; Yu Yi Gengetsu was greatly feared by Naruto, Kakashi-sensei, and the Hokage; Yu Yi Gengetsu had meticulously planned to live a second life, making the entire ninja world tremble, and we were constantly worried about what she might do.

Could it be the knight and hero that Ino mentioned?

Yu Yi Xuan Yue raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

Then, he and Sakura listened to Ino's detailed explanation.

"In the year 132 of the Fire Country calendar, in the village of Floating Wanderer, a ninja was tyrannical, killing twenty-three villagers, taking fourteen women as his concubines, and torturing ten of them to death. No one was not angry, and no one dared to resist. Hagoromo Gengetsu encountered him on the road and killed him in anger."

Long-lost memories resurfaced before Hagoromo Gengetsu's eyes as Ino recounted them.

I remember that year I was fourteen years old. Full of vigor, I left the land of the Feathered Robe Clan to travel in the Ninja World. On the way, I passed through a village called Floating Wanderer.

There were many villagers, but the atmosphere in the village was very oppressive, even though a wedding was taking place at the time.

Upon learning that this was the village's only ninja who was marrying a bride, and that ten young girls had already died at his hands, Hagoromo Gengetsu didn't hesitate and rushed in to kill the ninja, whose strength was quite ordinary.

The matter was very simple, nothing more than a small favor for me, but it was something the villagers would never forget. It even spread to the outside world, and somehow it came to the attention of a tribe in the mountains, who recorded it.
