Konoha: I, Uchiha, am brimming with positive energy

Chapter 209 How many people in the village do you want to die? (Please subscribe)

"Nohara Rin isn't dead!? Yoichi-kun, what's going on?"

When Hatake Sakumo saw Nohara Rin, his hands trembled. If he hadn't been recuperating from his long-term sword practice, he would have stood up in shock.

"Yes, Fourth Hokage, Nohara Rin was practically on the verge of death, but my eye technique saved her. However, at that time, she was almost indistinguishable from being dead, and it took her a long time to regain consciousness."

Uchiha Yoichi explained, "If my eye technique hadn't changed, I wouldn't be sure I could have saved Nohara Rin; thankfully, my eye technique has changed recently, which is how I managed to save her."

"Furthermore, there was a reason why Rin Nohara rammed into Kakashi's ninja sword."

Upon hearing this, Hatake Sakumo asked curiously, "The inside story?"

"Yes, Fourth Hokage, I'm sorry to make Kakashi bear guilt that he shouldn't have. I was under a curse at the time and couldn't commit suicide, but in order to prevent Kirigakure's plan to destroy the village from succeeding, only Kakashi could kill me. I'm very sorry."

After Nohara Rin finished speaking, she bowed slightly to Hatake Sakumo as an apology, but Hatake Sakumo quickly waved his hand.

This is a true ninja of the village, willing to die to avoid harming the village; his will to protect the village is something even the Hokage cannot say anything about.

Sakumo Hatake spoke solemnly, "No need to apologize, Chunin Nohara. Your will is incredibly pure. If Kakashi blames you for this, I will discipline him properly as a father!"

Kakashi, who had just entered, hadn't even seen who was in the room when he heard his father say he was going to discipline him.

Upon seeing who was in the Hokage's office, Kakashi was immediately astonished: "Rin? You, what's wrong?"

"Kakashi, I'm sorry about that."

Rin Nohara was quite happy to see Kakashi, and then explained what had happened to him.

When Kakashi learned the details, a weight lifted from his heart, and he repeatedly whispered, "Thank goodness, I'm so glad you're alright."

"Kakashi, I'm sorry."

"It's alright. I was doing it all for the village. I'm just glad to see you're okay, Lin."

Kakashi waved his hand, his actions and tone almost identical to Hatake Sakumo's. However, he then gave Uchiha Yoichi a resentful look, somewhat blaming Yoichi-senpai for not telling him beforehand, even if it would have been better to be mentally prepared.

"Nohara Rin was relatively easy to revive because she still had some vital signs. If someone had been dead for a long time, it would probably not be so easy, and the stronger they are, the more troublesome it would be."

Uchiha Yoichi touched his eyes and said that it was so troublesome for him to revive Nawaki. After all, it was not a dojutsu specifically for revival, and it was not as simple as the Samsara Rebirth Technique.

However, neither the mountain wheel nor the mountain life consumes life, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru suddenly spoke up, saying, "What Yang-kun means is that you have resurrected another person."

"hehe."

Uchiha Yang smiled but didn't say anything, but his smile was directed at Orochimaru, which made Orochimaru somewhat at a loss.

Could the resurrected person be related to him?

Hatake Sakumo also guessed that Uchiha Yoichi might have resurrected someone, but he wouldn't pursue such a taboo matter further, as that would be too annoying. For now, he just needed to know that Nohara Rin was not dead.

"The matter of resurrection is too taboo. This matter is classified as S-rank secret. Orochimaru, Kakashi, no one is allowed to talk about what happened in the house today. As for Nohara Rin..."

Hatake Sakumo also felt somewhat embarrassed. The memorial stone had already been erected, and it would be too far-fetched to say that Nohara Rin was seriously injured or something like that.

Orochimaru suggested, "I have a ninjutsu that can change one's appearance. We can let Nohara Rin live in Konoha with a different face for a while. As for the news of her resurrection, just tell her close friends and family. However, we must have the Anbu warn her not to leak it."

Sakumo Hatake nodded and said, "That's one way too."

"Actually, you don't need ninjutsu to change your appearance and make yourself unrecognizable to others."

Uchiha Yoichi suddenly spoke up, saying, "Just tie your hair up, remove the facial markings, and change your original appearance; 'Nohara Rin' is dead. Even if they see someone who looks similar, they will only feel nostalgia."

If you pay attention to her past habits, most people will only think that the girl in front of them looks just like she used to.

After all, it is a fact that Nohara Rin is dead, and her name is still on the memorial stone.

The group then discussed the matter at the Hokage Building for a while before finalizing the details regarding Nohara Rin.

Afterwards, Uchiha Yoichi left behind a wood clone and departed from the Hokage Building; one wood clone was enough to handle matters in the village.

"Senior Yang Yi, thank you for saving Lin."

After leaving the Hokage Building, Kakashi whispered to Uchiha Yoichi and then bowed deeply; if it weren't for Uchiha Yoichi, he might have really killed Rin.

Although he knew it was for the village's sake, the psychological pressure of killing his comrades was not something he could easily bear.

Rin Nohara comforted him, "I'm sorry, Kakashi, it was all my impulsiveness."

Uchiha Yoichi smiled and said, "It's a small matter. You should feel relieved now. Focus on your training from now on. Your strength is destined to surpass your father's. You might even become the Sixth or Seventh Hokage someday."

"And Kakashi, it's been a long time since you've visited. If you're free, you can come over. I've recently taken on some students with good potential, and there's also Uchiha Itachi who's about the same age as you were when you were a child."

"I'll definitely pay you a visit in a couple of days." After Kakashi agreed, he asked Rin Nohara, "What are your plans next?"

He originally wanted to call Lin's name, but then he remembered that he should be careful not to call her Lin in the future, so he asked directly instead.

Nohara Rin smiled and said, "Let's go home and visit first. Maybe I'll continue learning medical ninjutsu from Mina-sensei, or train with Yoichi-sensei. Yoichi-sensei has taken me on as a student."

"Is that so? That's wonderful, Yoichi-senpai. I'm counting on you, Nohara."

Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. Mina Uzumaki and Yoichi Uchiha were basically among the strongest people in Konoha. To be able to become their students, just look at Kurenai Yuhi and the other two.

Their Sage Mode alone made them so powerful that even Kakashi found them quite troublesome.

"Then I'll head back now, Nohara. Come find me if you need any help."

"I see."

After Kakashi finished speaking, he left. He had been suddenly summoned by his father today and thought he would be assigned some kind of mission. However, knowing that Nohara Rin was still alive was a good thing for him.

Let's have roasted lamb today, and I'll also send some to my father.

As Kakashi walked home, he thought about it and quickened his pace.

Nohara Rin's house is on the other side; on the way back, she will be traveling with Uchiha Yoichi for a while.

After walking for a while, Nohara Rin lowered her head slightly and asked, "Teacher Youyi, can I still go to your place to refine medicine?"

"Of course you can. The alchemy furnace is all ready for you. You can even take it with you; it was custom-made for you anyway."

Upon hearing this, Nohara Rin quickly shook her head and said, "Let's go to your place, Teacher Yangyi. My house can't hold something that big. Besides, if I get tired from refining medicine, I can give you a massage, Teacher Yangyi."

Thinking back to her audacity in the underground alchemy room, Nohara Rin still feels a little dizzy, but every time she recalls it, she finds that she doesn't dislike it.

That feeling was really good, but then Nohara Rin suddenly remembered that when she sat in front of Yoichi-sensei, the hardness under her buttocks seemed different.

She didn't dislike it; in fact, she was somewhat looking forward to it, so she couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

Nohara Rin's last words were spoken very softly, but Uchiha Yoichi still heard them.

"If you have time."

Uchiha Yoichi originally wanted to refuse righteously, but he changed his mind when the words were on the tip of his tongue; he used to absolutely refuse to enjoy it, but recently he has become more and more immersed in it.

After reaching an intersection, Nohara Rin and Uchiha Yoichi parted ways. At this time, two Anbu members followed them. They were responsible for supporting Nohara Rin and explaining the situation, since the Anbu represented the Hokage.

When Uchiha Yang returned to the entrance of the clan's territory, he suddenly found Jiraiya there, and it seemed that he was accompanied by quite a few people.

Although there were no guards stopping them, Jiraiya's gathering here had already attracted the attention of many people, especially his clansmen coming and going.

"What's going on?"

Uchiha Yoichi stepped forward and asked, "I only went out for a short while, but when I came back, I found so many people."

"Yoichi-san, we came here with Kushina."

After seeing Uchiha Yoichi return, Jiraiya began to explain; although the sadness on his face had not yet faded, he still got to the point first.

"Kushina came with Mina-san earlier. The sealing team, the barrier team, and the ANBU need to go with them, but we needed to let you know since so many people are going in, so we'll stay here and wait for you to come back."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Yoichi frowned and asked, "Why isn't Kushina resting at home? What is she doing at my house? Was she invited by Mina?"

"It seems... Kushina brought it up herself."

"Um?"

Uchiha Yoichi didn't understand what Kushina was going to do, but he still said, "You and the two Anbu members can follow along. The sealing team and the barrier team don't need to go in. With Mina there, her sealing technique can control the Nine-Tails."

After saying that, he walked towards the clan's territory. Seeing how decisive Uchiha Yoichi was, Jiraiya had no choice but to wave to the Anbu and then follow him.

When Jiraiya followed Uchiha Yangyi in, he saw Kushina, Mina, and Mikoto sitting in the courtyard, with the Earth Bear fast asleep beside them; this silly bear had been nocturnal lately, and no one knew what it was up to.

Seeing the people at the door, Mina Uzumaki waved and said, "Yoichi-sama, you're back. And Jiraiya-sama, why didn't you come in earlier?"

"It wasn't convenient just now, so let's stay with Yang Yi-san for now."

Jiraiya said somewhat reservedly that his relationship with Uchiha Yoichi was just so-so, or even not very good; they were currently only maintaining a superficial relationship as fellow villagers.

He had prepared himself for rejection, but he didn't expect Uchiha Yoichi to agree.

"Kushina, why did you come here?"

"Jiraiya-sensei, you'll find out soon enough."

Kushina said that she couldn't see any sadness on her face now, probably because she had been sad enough at night, otherwise Mina wouldn't have stayed there to keep Kushina company all night.

"Yoichi-kun, I want to control the power of the Nine-Tails. I hope you can help me. Please."

Upon hearing Kushina's plea, Uchiha Yoichi, Uzumaki Mina, and Mikoto all had their own guesses. Jiraiya was half right; he thought that Kushina might have come to Uchiha Yoichi for revenge.

But unexpectedly, Kushina wanted to take revenge herself.

"Kushina, don't think about revenge anymore. Focus on your and Minato's child from now on."

Jiraiya hesitated for a moment after hearing this, but still advised, "If you want to avenge Minato, let the village handle it. Minato doesn't want you to live with hatred."

Kushina shook her head and said, "Jiraiya-sensei, I want to avenge Minato myself. I have such great power within me, but I can't use it. This time it was Minato, next time it could be Minato's child. Without power, I might not even be able to protect Naruto."

"But Minato wouldn't want that."

Jiraiya said somewhat anxiously that he wanted to take on the hatred so that he or the village could take action, as it would be too dangerous for Kushina to go.

But before he could finish speaking, Uchiha Yoichi interrupted him, saying, "Revenge is fine, I support your idea. There isn't that much forgiveness in this world. Forgiveness is disrespectful to the victim, and no one can forgive on behalf of another."

"But you don't need to think about that right now. Let's talk about it after you've settled down. Besides, my eye power has been overused and I need several years to recover."

Uchiha Yoichi paused here, then continued, "Mina can also help you then; her Adamantine Sealing Technique can subdue the Nine-Tails."

Upon hearing this, Mina asked in surprise, "Can I do it too, Yoichi-sama?"

"You'll see when you try the Adamantine Lockdown. Don't underestimate your abilities."

After finishing explaining the situation, Mina invited Kushina to stay for dinner. Then, Uchiha Yoichi went outside to let Jiraiya and the Anbu leave.

He didn't want anyone to stay near his house; it made him uncomfortable. Besides, the current Hokage was Sakumo Hatake, not Hiruzen Sarutobi, so he didn't think the Uchiha clan would harm the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

However, before leaving, Jiraiya said, "Uchiha Yoichi, you shouldn't have advised Kushina to continue seeking revenge. Being consumed by vengeance won't do her any good; she still has Naruto."

"Don't make decisions for others casually, and don't try to get others to agree with your ideas. That's ridiculous. If you can convince the Hidden Cloud Village to give up their hatred, then I'll approve of your ideas."

Uchiha Yoichi interrupted Jiraiya and continued, "This could have been avoided. We could have nipped it in the bud when the Rinnegan was weak, or not competed with me for the second mission. How many ninjas from the village would Jiraiya be satisfied with? Is Nagato your student, and the others aren't?"

"you"

Jiraiya's face turned pale, and upon hearing these words, he was filled with boundless rage.

But the person in front of him was Uchiha Yoichi, so he couldn't make a move and was no match for him.

After Uchiha Yang returned, Jiraiya turned and left with a very unpleasant expression.

As he left, his heart was filled with self-blame and sorrow. What could have been avoided ended because of him.

"Minato, I'm sorry, it's all my fault."
