Konoha: You're letting me build up my bonds, but you're offending the entire ninja world.

Although he was reading Senju's books, what he was actually looking for was someone related to the Uchiha clan.

Chapter 112 The Legend of Uchiha Hikaru, Sowing Discord

The Uchiha survivors in the Land of Snow have gotten back on track, training hard every day, waiting for the day they can seek revenge on Uchiha Itachi.

Gengetsu Shimura trusts them now and is not worried about any disobedience.

However, it is well known that this group has a very high probability of developing mental illness.

If something unexpected happens in the future, causing some people to have inappropriate thoughts and suddenly shout that they want to take revenge on their savior, that's not impossible.

Although they can be crushed like ants, they can also be disgusting.

Therefore, Shimura Gengetsu decided to use some means to control these Uchiha, and naturally, he thought of that Uchiha grandmother—Uchiha Mumei.

She can also be called Uchiha Hikari.

Uchiha Hikari, Shimura Gengetsu doesn't know exactly what era she lived in, only that Uchiha Madara had to call her "great-grandmother" at least, indicating that she was of a very high generation.

She was a member of the Uchiha clan during the Warring States period, born into an ordinary family within the Uchiha clan.

Her parents hoped she could live in the sunlight like an ordinary person, so they named her Uchiha Hikari.

But barring any unforeseen circumstances, something unexpected is usually bound to happen at this point.

Gold will always shine, and the brilliance of genius cannot be concealed.

Hikaru Uchiha awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan at a very young age, and his eye techniques were extremely powerful.

It was a special eye technique called Eight Thousand Spears, and she was the only one in history to have used it.

By leaving the Eight Thousand Spears mark on other ninjas, one can erase their memories and control their minds through the mark, and also absorb the chakra of the marked person to strengthen oneself or others.

This powerful ability quickly attracted the attention of the Uchiha leadership.

Inhuman things have happened.

In order to better utilize Uchiha Hikari's abilities, the Uchiha clan imprisoned her and used special methods to give her the two eye techniques, Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi, and stripped her of her name, using her entirely as a weapon of war.

What the hell.

Isn't this the style of the roots?

Is Shimura Masatomo in the Uchiha clan?

No wonder Tobirama Senju always spoke of the evil Uchiha clan; isn't this the best example?

Back to the topic.

With the help of the Eight Thousand Spears and the power of Tsukuyomi Amaterasu, Hikaru Uchiha helped the Uchiha clan gain the upper hand in the fight against the Senju, causing heavy losses to the Senju clan.

But this also made other ninja clans wary.

Thus, with the combined efforts of Senju and Sarutobi, Uchiha Hikaru was sealed away.

According to the normal timeline, he should have been found by a zero organization decades later and reappeared in the world, but unfortunately, he still could not escape the fate of being used.

Gengetsu Shimura wanted to dig out Hikari-chan and use her Eight Thousand Spears to control the Uchiha ninjas, as a way of settling scores.

Unfortunately, it's still quite difficult.

He only knew her name, not the specific era, and even less where she was sealed away.

The only hope is to find clues through the records of the two tribes.

The Warring States period spans nearly a thousand years, and both clans began their lineage shortly after the founding of the Ninja Clan, accumulating a vast amount of historical information.

Shimura Gengetsu was completely baffled by what he was seeing.

But there's no way around it, who can resist a classic Uchiha girl?

Beautiful, crazy, arrogant, devoted, and stubborn.

I had no choice but to bite the bullet and start flipping it over.

However, once you get into it, it's not as boring as school textbooks; many stories from the Warring States period are quite interesting.

Before long, dawn was approaching. Shimura Gengetsu put all the books back and quietly left the restricted book area.

The next few days were the same. He treated these historical materials as bedtime reading. When he got sleepy, he would go home. Anyway, he had plenty of time, and there were only so many materials, so he could finish reading them eventually.

Soon, an event disrupted Gengetsu Shimura's regular life.

Hiruzen Sarutobi transferred Kakashi out of the Anbu on the grounds that his time in the Anbu had expired, and Kakashi became a Jonin in Konoha again.

Inside the office, Kurenai Yuhi and Yugao Uzuki arrived. The two were Gengetsu Shimura's right-hand men in the Anbu.

"What does the Third Hokage mean by this?"

Red rested her chin on her hand, pondering casually, "What time limit does the Anbu have? Many people who enter never leave, so why did they specifically choose Kakashi?"

"Perhaps they feel our brigade is too strong right now and want to weaken it?"

Xiyan also offered her own thoughts.

Previously, the Third Battalion had Kakashi, Yamato, and even earlier, Itachi Uchiha, plus Gengetsu Shimura. Their battalion's strength was definitely the top of the Anbu.

But now two of the three key personnel have left, leaving only Yamato, who is quite skilled in the infrastructure industry. This is clearly a move to undermine their capabilities.

"Xuan Yue, what do you think?"

The two of them looked at the boy who hadn't said a word.

"Ok?"

Xuan Yue seemed to have just come back to her senses; her eyes regained focus, and she sat up straighter.

"It's just Kakashi, no need to overthink it. But Hiruzen Sarutobi's purpose is definitely not pure. We can't let him transfer away so easily. I'll go negotiate with him tomorrow and extort some money from him."

Gengetsu Shimura didn't want to bother figuring out what the Third Hokage was trying to do, nor was it necessary.

He told the two women to go home and wait for dinner. He stayed in the office for a while longer, then Kakashi, who had changed out of his ANBU uniform and into his regular Jonin vest, arrived.

"Captain, I've come to return the equipment." Kakashi's eyes also held a hint of regret.

Actually, he and Shimura Gengetsu had gotten along quite well over the years, since the captain often slacked off and wouldn't come to the base for ten days or half a month at a time.

Moreover, after getting to know him, he found that Shimura Gengetsu was not as unapproachable as the rumors suggested. It was just that his personality was a bit too direct, and because of his background, he was inevitably a bit arrogant.

But compared to his grandfather, he's much better.

Overall, the two can now be considered friends.

Kakashi didn't have many friends in Konoha.

Kakashi had a vague idea about this transfer, and it was highly likely related to the night of the massacre.

"Just put your things there, have a seat."

Shimura Gengetsu pointed to a corner on the ground, then gestured for Kakashi to sit on the sofa before saying:

"You don't need to call me captain anymore, just call me by my name."

"Alright, Xuan Yue."

"Let's just chat casually like ordinary friends, so don't be nervous."

Your words are making me even more nervous.

Kakashi's lips twitched slightly beneath the mask, but he appeared completely relaxed, leaning back comfortably on the sofa as if he were having a casual chat.

"Okay, what do you want to talk about?"

"Let's talk about your teacher."

Gengetsu Shimura smiled. "Of the Fourth Hokage's top students, you're the only one still alive."

"......"

What a hellish topic this is.

Kakashi felt his head starting to ache.

Who would start by reopening old wounds?

If it were an ordinary person, he would either take immediate action or slam the door and leave.

but...

Seeing the warm smile on Shimura Gengetsu's face, Kakashi's one eye became clear.

"What you said is indeed correct, but why bring this up all of a sudden?"

Gengetsu Shimura posed a question, "What kind of person do you think the Fourth Hokage was? How did he treat you?"

"The fourth generation?"

Kakashi pondered for a moment before answering truthfully, "He was a perfect ninja, a Kage who could change the village, and he was very good to me... to me. He was also my teacher whom I will always respect."

"I can't see it at all."

Gengetsu Shimura tilted his head. "I feel like you're acting like nothing happened just because your teacher died."

Kakashi's expression changed, and anger surged within him.

"Xuan Yue, what exactly are you trying to say?"
