Konoha: This Uchiha is going a bit too far.

Chapter 102 Hagoromo: I'll Go Back to Find You Too (10,000-word chapter)

"Damn bastard!"

In a makeshift base at the Root, Danzo vented his anger on everything around him.

Faced with this situation, no one in Root dared to speak, after all, they were not Orochimaru.

Moreover, what happened today was shameful enough that they couldn't utter a single word.

"This is a complete disgrace, you bunch of useless trash!"

Danzo continued to curse and rage; everything that had happened today was truly humiliating for him.

He was actually verbally abused twice by a brat from the Uchiha clan, and he had absolutely no way to deal with it.

"A" needs to keep this a secret; he doesn't want Orochimaru to find out about this kid, after all, he's Orochimaru's research product.

He is currently unable to unleash the power of Wood Release, or even to exert his full strength, because insufficient Sharingan would cause Wood Release to go berserk.

Otherwise, he would have taken out "A" long ago without hesitation, and he might even have personally dealt with that arrogant Uchiha today!

"This can't go on, it absolutely can't go on like this."

Danzo gritted his teeth and thought to himself that, in his opinion, the main reason why the Uchiha were so arrogant at this time was that they had gained the Hokage's trust.

While three pairs of kaleidoscopes are certainly dangerous, there is still a chance to divide them, launch surprise attacks, and defeat them one by one.

Even if they were stronger, Konoha could have dealt with them by paying a price, but those so-called Hokage actually backed down in the face of such a scourge!

They tolerated the police department's continued expansion, tolerated these guys' disrespect for Konoha's achievements, and tolerated all their misdeeds.

"If this continues, will Konoha become the Uchiha's Konoha?"

Konoha is his, and he has always remained steadfast in this belief.

Of course, he also supports "his own people" taking turns to rise to the top, but no matter what, it's time for him to take the lead.

He doesn't even think much of Orochimaru, let alone Minato Namikaze!

In his view, the person who caused the current situation in Konoha was his old friend, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

If it weren't for him, Konoha would never have ended up like this!

"Hiruzen is too old; he is no longer fit to lead Konoha."

Danzo's gaze turned slightly cold. In his view, the Third Hokage was still the one standing behind Konoha, and Minato Namikaze was nothing more than his puppet.

If the Third Hokage can be eliminated, Konoha will definitely gradually get back on track under his control and guidance.

After all, Minato Namikaze is nothing to fear!

"Hiruzen, I did it all for Konoha too."

Danzo's eyes were fixed intently, but he still needed to plan this matter carefully.

This is not the original story. The current fourth generation is in power, but his roots have been destroyed twice and cannot be rebuilt for the time being.

Therefore, he must think of some way to accomplish this task.

Moreover, he cannot do this himself; he needs to divert some of the hatred elsewhere so that he can remain safe and sound!

Danzo closed his eyes in deep thought, and after a while he suddenly opened them.

"Ryoma".

"Yes, Lord Danzo."

Aburame Ryoma appeared before him like a ghost, kneeling on one knee.

"Do you remember the Akatsuki organization that we fought alongside Hanzo more than a year ago?"

Danzo asked indifferently, and Aburame Ryoma immediately nodded.

"My lord, of course I remember. I will never forget everything they did!"

Nagato wiped out all the frontline members of Root, and then the dead man got up and wiped out all the Root reserve members.

It even put Danzo in danger twice. How could Ryoma Aburame forget such hatred?

"Just remember that."

Danzo nodded, then said with a cold look in his eyes.

"Isn't they a mission organization? If so, I have a mission for them."

You're the only person I can trust right now. I need you to go to the Land of Rain, but don't let them recognize you.

Can you do it?

Aburame Ryoma was stunned for a moment. Wasn't that organization Danzo's mortal enemy?

But he had long regarded Danzo as his "only sun," and he would not refuse any mission issued by Danzo, no matter what kind it was.

"My lord, I will definitely complete the mission."

"very good."

Danzo nodded. Although he rarely had access to top-secret information, there were still some things he could learn about.

For example, he heard that the Fourth Hokage had given orders to find Tsunade, and that progress was already being made.

He also heard that Hiruzen Sarutobi planned to personally go and persuade Tsunade to return!

Although he couldn't possibly know his old friend's route, he didn't care, since this information was enough.

Since it's a mission, there are many things that the person carrying out the mission needs to investigate.

If they can't even do something like this, then these people don't deserve to be called ninjas at all.

"Go and prepare; I will draft the letter."

"Yes, Lord Danzo."

Aburame Ryoma nodded, and the next moment his figure disappeared from the spot, leaving only Danzo standing on the mess.

Danzo quietly observed everything around him. After a while, he let out a cold snort and sat down on a stone chair.

"Old friend, we need to step up our game this time too."

Danzo knew that the so-called Akatsuki organization would probably not let him go, and he even suspected that the dead guy named Yahiko was a product of the Akatsuki organization.

Since that's the case, we can use the Third Hokage to lure them out and gather some intelligence.

Although the Third Hokage is old, he still has considerable strength, especially with the protection of the Anbu.

If we can eliminate them as much as possible, even if it's just taking down a few of the more dangerous ones, it would be good for Konoha's future.

"Furthermore, I can use public opinion to transform their attack on me into an attack on me because they couldn't find the Third Generation, and I am just as important as the Third Generation."

This will make it much easier for me to do anything afterward!

Although Danzo has recently been acting like a clown, it's only because he can't see the situation clearly and has made a series of wrong moves, making him exceptionally unlucky.

As the "Dark One of the Ninja World," his tricks of scheming are never weak.

It can be said that if his plan succeeds, the situation will be extremely favorable for him!

"However, Hiruzen will likely be carrying the Fourth Hokage's Flying Thunder God kunai, which is somewhat troublesome."

Suddenly, Danzo thought of something, which made him furrow his brows deeply.

The unique nature of the Flying Thunder God made him wary; its ability to instantly teleport and provide support meant that many things would become extraordinary.

Danzo clenched his fist slightly, and after a while he let out a cold snort.

"So what if it's the Flying Thunder God technique? I'll just find a way to get more people!"

Hiruzen, you must die this time, even the Six Paths can't save you!

That's what I said!

"That's awesome!"

While Danzo harbored ulterior motives, after nearly a week of preparation, he finally invited his friends from all walks of life to his housewarming celebration.

His new home was unusually lively at this moment. Lin, Hong, and Hongdou looked around at everything in the new home and couldn't help but sigh.

Here, they can feel the vibrant atmosphere of daily life.

Although the furniture here looks grand, the combination of various small decorations gives it a warm and cozy feel.

Outside, Kakashi, Guy, and the others were looking around, especially the garden in Haori-no-kyo, which particularly interested them.

This prompted them to keep asking Haori, whose face was full of gloom, questions, especially since Kakashi seemed to genuinely intend to pick flowers here to sweep the graves in the future.

"What's wrong? Aren't you happy about moving to your new house?"

Asuma seemed to notice that Haori seemed a little down, which made him particularly curious.

"It's alright. I originally wanted to cook myself, but they thought I wasn't capable, and my garden design was also rejected."

Yuzhi shrugged and said with a hint of helplessness.

To celebrate moving into his new home, he naturally wanted to try it out himself, but Guang kicked him out of the kitchen without hesitation.

Not only Hikari, but Kushina, who came to visit with them, did the same. They dragged Mikoto Uchiha along and wouldn't let Haori near the kitchen at all.

Aside from cooking, he realized he didn't seem to have much say in the garden.

He was thinking of growing some vegetables himself, but then he discovered that Guang had already bought quite a few seeds.

"Isn't this good? Just wait to eat."

Asuma didn't understand Haori's thoughts at all, but he pursed his lips.

"Speaking of which, the former clan chief's wife has also come, so it seems that there shouldn't be any problems within your clan."

"That's natural."

Yuri knew what Asuma meant; as the son of the Hokage, he could never be some kind of fool.

Having been exposed to it from a young age, he was able to understand many things, and the fact that the Uchiha clan had no clan leader was quite obvious.

The arrival of this former clan chief's wife at this time was of great significance.

What's even more unusual is that Kushina actually came, and Minato will probably arrive later as well!

The fact that Yuzhi attended their wedding before already sent a very clear signal, and now that they're here as friends, the meaning is even more obvious.

"Should I start calling you 'Clan Chief Yuri' from now on?"

Asuma looked at Haori teasingly, while Haori rolled her eyes and laughed.

"Why don't you call me 'Lord Hokage'? I'd be happier that way."

"Hey, hey, hey, my teacher hasn't stepped down."

Kakashi, who was standing to the side, couldn't hold back his laughter when he heard this, but after thinking about it, he suddenly nodded.

"But come to think of it, once we grow up, there really won't be anyone who can compete with you for the Hokage position."

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhi smiled without saying a word. He wouldn't wait until he was fully grown; he would still fight for it whenever he had the chance!

"senior!"

Just as she was thinking this, Yuzhi suddenly saw Shisui walking over with a child in his arms.

Behind him, a girl was leading Kimimaro and Haku, timidly approaching them.

"This is."

Yuzhi blinked, looking at the girl with some curiosity, but he didn't feel unfamiliar with the little guy in Shisui's arms.

Mikoto Uchiha was pulled in to help, and Itachi Uchiha is probably still hanging around with Danzo, so Sasuke naturally needs to be taken care of.

Shisui, that silly boy, ended up as a laborer, but he seemed to like Sasuke quite a bit, so he was naturally happy to take care of the little guy.

"Senior, her name is Uchiha Izumi. Haku and Kimimaro are currently staying at her house."

Shisui replied with a smile, and the bustling scene made Yuzhi feel somewhat dazed.

Uchiha Izumi?

That poor girl who was Itachi Uchiha's childhood friend, and who was killed by Itachi Uchiha and Obito Uchiha in the anime and manga respectively?

Looking at the girl in front of her with her head down, not daring to make a sound, and the slightly nervous couple not far behind her, Yuzhi found it amusing and understood Shisui's meaning.

This family is indeed quite suitable for Kimimaro and Haku, who are not members of the Uchiha clan.

"Then I'll have to trouble you to take good care of them both."

Yuzhi smiled and said to Uchiha Izumi, "I remember that this girl seemed to have activated the three-tomoe technique before she died, which also shows that she has great talent."

"Keep up the good work. Maybe I'll have Shisui teach you someday."

"Thank you so much, Haori-sama!"

Izumi was immediately delighted upon hearing this, but this left Shisui somewhat helpless.

"Then we won't disturb the adults' meal; we'll head out first."

"Let's keep them here. These two little ones want to participate too, and I'm afraid Shisui won't be able to bring them all."

Yuzhi interrupted Izumi with a smile, then looked up and nodded gently to the nervous couple not far away.

This time, Yu Zhi invited quite a few people to his new house. Although his new house wasn't as big as he had imagined, the Uchiha clan's territory was large enough.

They could easily set up a table outside, so even if there were more people, it wouldn't be a problem.

Watching the excited girl being led away by Shisui to find Nono, Haori couldn't help but shake her head slightly.

This girl had a very good relationship with Itachi Uchiha in the original story, and she was also considered one of the Uchiha "innocents".

Especially considering that her father wasn't even a member of the Uchiha clan, yet he was still killed by the "mad filial piety duo".

Yuzhi felt more and more convinced that she had absolutely no problem with the "Bian Que Trilogy" that these two believed in!

It's just a pity for Sasuke, the last Uchiha in the original story, and the most normal Uchiha.

Although he is also mentally unstable, compared to his brother and his father, he is already very normal.

"Should I adopt him as my godson?"

He dared not mention his adopted son, lest he mistake the Kusanagi Sword for a halberd.

But his godson was something he could consider, just as Asuma was thinking about it, he suddenly said in a low voice.

"What are you thinking about? You're not interested in little girls, are you?"

"You're the one who's interested in little girls!"

Haori couldn't hold back any longer and turned to glare at Asuma.

"Relax, relax, I was just kidding. Oh, by the way, I have a gift for you."

Asuma immediately waved his hand, and then took out a book wrapped in paper in front of Kakashi and the others.

"This is a gift for you, and it's a really nice one."

"What good thing is it? Is it some kind of forbidden technique?"

Haori gave Asuma a strange look, but when he reached out to take it, Asuma suddenly pulled it back.

"It's not a forbidden technique, it's something even better. I specifically dug it out of the old man's library, but there's something I need to ask you."

"You and Hong will sit together for dinner tonight."

Yuri immediately understood what Asuma was thinking, and rolled his eyes.

Even if he didn't make arrangements, this kid would definitely go anyway, so he might as well just verbally appease him.

"Here you go!"

Asuma handed over the book with satisfaction, while lowering his voice and whispering.

"Study hard, it will definitely be useful for you!"

Upon hearing this, Hagoromo became quite curious.

Asuma found this in the Third Hokage's library; what kind of treasure could it be?

"Hotaru, are you living with Haori?"

While Haori was greeting guests in the front, Kushina suddenly whispered a question to Hikaru in the back kitchen.

This sentence stunned Guang for a moment, and she didn't know how to answer.

Mikoto, who was helping out nearby, raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. They had been living together for a long time, and everyone in the family knew about it.

Yuzhi had naturally invited her to her housewarming party, but she hadn't wanted to come at first.

After all, she had two children to take care of, and she still had mixed feelings about what Yuzhi had done in the past.

But seeing the Uchiha clan getting better and better over the past year, she seemed to understand how terrible Uchiha Fugaku had been back then.

And thinking about it carefully, Yuzhi really kept her word. She wasn't mistreated; on the contrary, she lived a very good life.

With Kushina also arriving, she finally stopped thinking about it too much.

As for Uchiha Itachi, this kid also gives Mikoto a headache.

For more than a year, he was often away from home, and when asked, he would never say anything, at most he would just say that he was "training".

Mikoto felt helpless in the face of this situation, but over time she got used to it.

She also left a letter, but that child probably won't be coming back tonight, will he?

"Okay, stop pretending. The entire decor of this new house is obviously not something a guy did."

Kushina looked at Hikaru without saying anything, and thinking he was shy, she smiled and spoke.

"Actually, it's nothing. Besides, shouldn't you Uchiha people be engaged by now at this age?"

Shisui probably never expected that the words he had kept hidden would be spoken by the Hokage's wife.

Hearing these words, he was a little stunned. Engagement?

"Indeed, they're well past that age."

Mikoto glanced at Kushina, then at Hikaru, before speaking in a more appropriate manner.

"But perhaps they have higher aspirations, so..."

"Tch, what kind of pursuit is that? I'm just worried that Hagoromo will be corrupted by Jiraiya-sensei!"

Kushina also lowered her voice and whispered to some light.

"Ying, you'd better hurry up."

Having ambition is not a problem; Minato became Hokage just like that!

I've heard that Yuzhi has been very popular since he was a child.

Although you two are childhood sweethearts and have a clear advantage, some things are hard to say.

Childhood sweethearts?

Dominating the competition?

Hearing just those two sentences, I was both amused and exasperated. What kind of nonsense is this?

She was discovered by Yuzhi and thus gained a significant advantage.

What kind of advantage is it to face that evil and excessive guy every day?

Besides, that guy's popularity is entirely due to his sweet talk!

"Teacher, do you need my help?"

Just as Guang was pondering, a voice suddenly interrupted her thoughts.

Lin peeked out with Hong, then smiled and asked in a low voice.

"Okay, come on over!"

Kushina didn't press the matter further and smiled at Rin.

Hikaru smiled as she looked at Rin, but for some reason she suddenly remembered that Rin seemed to treat Yuzhi a little differently.

For some reason, Guang suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

"That jerk seems to be quite popular."

-

"I'm back."

As the sun set, Itachi Uchiha walked into the former Uchiha clan head's residence, looking somewhat weary.

The Root training has been extremely rigorous lately, after all, they suffered another crushing defeat at the hands of Uchiha Shisui.

Itachi Uchiha still had mixed feelings about Shisui.

He used to admire his older brother so much, but with the huge changes in his family, he felt that his older brother had changed as well.

He has been searching for the meaning of life and the truth behind the dramatic changes in his family.

After following Danzo, everything seemed to become simpler.

As a Konoha ninja, he seemed to have found his own meaning in life—for Konoha.

As for the Uchiha clan, Danzo's patient guidance and what he saw and heard on the day of the great change had also imprinted his mind with a strong ideological imprint!

"Uchiha Haori planned and executed all of this; he killed everyone, including my father."

With this concept in mind, he also had his own goal, but he needed to take it slowly because Yuzhi was really too strong.

This kind of power is all-encompassing, whether it's physical strength or the disguised personal charisma; even Shisui has submitted to him.

"It seems we're destined to become enemies."

As he walked into the house, he thought to himself, but when he entered, he frowned slightly because he found that there was no one in the house.

Today, Danzo apparently went to Orochimaru to treat his arm and didn't have time to deal with them, hoping he could come back soon. And that's how it ended up like this.

"Did you go to visit anyone?"

Itachi Uchiha didn't ask the servants in the house. He wasn't familiar with these people, and besides, they were brought back by Yuki, so he didn't trust them.

In his view, these people were simply there to monitor his family's existence.

"Um?"

Suddenly, he saw a letter on the table, picked it up, glanced at it, pursed his lips, and put it down.

Sure enough, his mother had gone out on business and was not home today.

This left him with some regret, because he had always wanted to see Sasuke, and he loved his younger brother very much.

No one was home, and he didn't want to stay there any longer, so he simply put down the letter and headed outside.

At this time, Konoha was approaching the end of the year, and the weather was slowly getting colder, but this was nothing to ninjas.

What ninjas fear is not the cold, but the lack of purpose.

At this moment, Itachi Uchiha didn't know where to go, and he felt completely alienated from the Uchiha clan.

Previously, his understanding of this family came from his father's teachings, but now it comes more from Danzo's narration.

He probably doesn't need to know much about such a family, because it's meaningless.

Now, in particular, he has even more ambitious goals!

"here it is"

As he walked, Itachi Uchiha suddenly realized that he seemed to have arrived at a rather familiar place.

Upon closer inspection, this appears to be Uchiha Izumi's house.

Uchiha Izumi was a friend he had known since childhood, and in his memory, she was a gentle and kind person.

Although they hadn't been in contact for over a year, he had never forgotten this kind girl.

Still thinking about it, he had already started walking towards Quan's house as if possessed, but he soon stopped.

There were no lights and no sound, so it was clear that no one was inside the house.

"Aren't they all home? Where have they gone?"

Itachi Uchiha frowned, his mind filled with doubt. Then he sighed, turned around, and silently left.

He had no specific purpose; he was merely killing time. He didn't pay much attention to the Uchiha clan's situation, as he felt they were all the same.

But as he walked, he suddenly heard bursts of laughter coming from afar, which made him wonder.

"Over there, it seems to be..."

In his memory, that area seemed to be inhabited by people who were not favored by their families.

Moreover, the Uchiha clan has always been very disciplined and quiet at night, rarely making such noise.

He frowned, not quite sure what had happened, and after thinking it over, he simply walked in that direction.

The closer he got, the deeper his brow furrowed, because he could hear the laughter from that side even from a great distance.

"What exactly is going on?"

Uchiha Itachi thought to himself, but when he could see the situation there clearly from afar, his expression changed instantly!

"How...how could this happen?"

Although they were some distance apart, he could clearly see that his mother was there, and that she was holding Sasuke in her arms!

Not far away, Izumi was playing with two children and the people that Lord Danzo had wanted to recruit last time.

Shisui was with Haori and his group of friends.

Not only them, but also many people from the Uchiha clan came.

Although Itachi Uchiha could only recognize Hugh Uchiha and Shin Uchiha, he didn't know much about the others.

But with so many people and such a lively atmosphere, it all looked so wonderful.

The excitement belongs to them, but they get nothing.

Uchiha Itachi stood there blankly, not knowing what he was thinking.

But he felt an unparalleled sense of loss; he felt as if he had nothing left.

Danzo had clearly told him that the Haori was the true culprit who created all the sins, but why did no one understand?

After much deliberation, Itachi Uchiha suddenly gritted his teeth, his inner resolve firmly solidified.

"As expected, you are a venomous snake adept at disguise!"

He clenched his fists tightly, and after a long while, he lowered his head and turned to leave.

He wanted to change everything, he wanted to save his brother, but he was far from doing enough.

He needs to work even harder; only with more power can he completely expose the true nature of this venomous snake!

Amidst the cheerful atmosphere, Itachi Uchiha disappeared into the shadows—

"Nagato, how are you feeling?"

In the Land of Rain, inside the Akatsuki's base, Konan looked at Nagato with a worried expression.

Just a moment later, Nagato opened his eyes, and his pale purple Rinnegan looked exceptionally imposing.

Nagato clenched his fist, and after a long while, he finally smiled.

"I feel great now, and I'm absolutely certain that the guy didn't tamper with those solvents."

"Really?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Nan's face also showed a hint of joy.

"This is really good news. I never expected that guy would have such amazing stuff."

"Yes, that's amazing."

Nagato nodded slightly, a hint of fervor appearing in his eyes.

The solvent created by White Zetsu was an invaluable resource for him. Even though the amount he injected was pitifully small, its effects on him were surprisingly good!

He is still continuously providing chakra to the Gedo Mazo, nourishing this behemoth.

But he is no longer the skinny, bony figure who looks like he's only holding on because of his vortex clan physique!

His body had regained some fullness, and he looked like a normal person again.

Even though he is still rather thin and his face looks a bit pale, his current condition is incomparable to what it used to be!

That tiny dose, in just over a month, allowed him to recover so much.

If there were more of those miraculous potions, perhaps he could fully recover himself while continuously supplying chakra to the Gedo Mazo!

How could he not feel a surge of passion in such a situation?

"However, that guy will probably be more careful. He won't take out these potions easily again, and he might even tamper with them next time."

However, Nagato remained calm; he had absolutely no faith in Obito.

"We need to think of more ways to get those things."

"That's right, we'll disguise ourselves first and then strike when we have the opportunity!"

Konan nodded, a hint of murderous intent flickering in her eyes. She had never liked Obito.

If that guy's spatial manipulation techniques were too bizarre, Konan would probably have already made a move.

"Forget about him. I remember someone contacted us last time asking if we could commission a task, right?"

Nagato shook his head, reviewed the recent situation, and then asked.

"Yes, a task given by some clueless guy."

Xiao Nan nodded, then frowned and said...

"That guy is extremely cautious and very good at hiding himself, but he is also very generous. Kakuzu seems to be very interested in this mission."

Although Nagato had been investigating the condition of those White Zetsu cells, he wasn't doing nothing.

It's a fact that the Akatsuki organization is short-handed and the other members are not strong enough, so he will naturally try to find ways to improve the situation.

Kakuzu was the first person he recruited, a powerful undead and a money-grubbing bounty hunter.

This guy is particularly sensitive to tasks involving money, and naturally he wouldn't and wouldn't want to miss out on such a task.

This is normal, though. The Akatsuki organization needs funding to grow, and the same applies when it takes over the entire Land of Rain in the future.

It's never a bad thing to prepare in advance.

"Then say yes."

After thinking for a while, Nagato spoke in a deep voice.

"But tell that guy, if he wants us to do it, he'll have to pay more!"

"Nagato, this is no simple mission. The guy who issued this mission probably wants to use us as pawns."

Konan frowned upon hearing Nagato's words, saying, "The mission they are to carry out is to assassinate the Third Hokage!"

Moreover, no one can say for sure how many terrible conspiracies are hidden behind such missions.

"Of course I know all of this."

However, Nagato remained calm, revealing a cold smile.

"So for this mission, let's find that guy."

He hasn't performed well yet, which is unsatisfactory.

Moreover, the other party didn't provide much information, so it's reasonable for that guy to gather intelligence.

When it comes to carrying out the mission, he will be in charge of the main attack, while we will provide support. If he can't even handle this mission properly…

"Then he has no right to tell us what to do."

Xiao Nan's eyes lit up immediately, and she nodded gently.

"Even if they want us to do something, there will be a price to pay, like..."

"Those solvents!"

Nagato made the final decision. Since it was a cooperative relationship, they needed to demonstrate their value.

Although Nagato felt it would be difficult to deal with that guy's spatial sneak attacks, that didn't mean she had to listen to him in everything!

However, he really needed to think carefully about how to deal with that guy's spatial magic.

"I'm really quite tired."

Late at night, after everyone had left, Yuzhi lay on the sofa in her new home and couldn't help but sigh.

Guang sat silently to the side, seemingly lost in thought.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing this, Yu Zhi found it strange, so he simply sat up and asked curiously.

"Don't worry, it's alright."

Guang came to her senses, shook her head, then leaned back, her legs and head resting on her chest, which she then embraced with both hands.

She rested her head on her knees and looked at Yuzhi before speaking softly.

"I just feel like my life is a bit of a dream, with so many friends and so many fun things to do."

Although things weren't always peaceful, everything was also quite abundant, something I never imagined before.

"You really are a sentimental person."

Haori smiled and reached out to poke Hikaru's forehead.

"Then let's start thinking about it carefully from now on. Tell me what comes to mind, and we'll work together to make it happen."

"You bastard"

Hearing these words, she felt a slight warmth in her heart, but after being poked on the forehead, she still pouted and asked.

"Have you said that to everyone? Otherwise, you wouldn't be so popular."

"Does my popularity mean I'm inherently trustworthy?"

Haori blinked and replied with a smile, but Hikaru pondered for a moment before nodding seriously.

"You are indeed worthy of everyone's trust."

"You seem a bit strange today, what happened?"

Looking at Hikaru like this, Yuri frowned and asked.

"You can tell me what's on your mind; maybe I can help you."

"Although you have been trying to comfort me, sometimes I still can't help but wonder why I've survived until now after being sealed away."

Guang hesitated for a moment before sighing and asking.

"Also, if I were to return to my own time, what would you do?"

"I'm coming to find you."

Before Hikaru could finish speaking, Haori replied crisply.

Sometimes, girls will have a bunch of random, inexplicable thoughts popping into their heads.

Although Yuri felt it was unnecessary, and often he was too lazy to even bother with it, considering Hikari's situation, he felt he really needed to comfort her.

There is indeed no such girl in the original work, and her experiences are indeed too fantastical, so it's not surprising that she has some bizarre ideas.

"You really know how to comfort people, thank you."

Hikari was a little amused and exasperated after being interrupted by Haori, but she still spoke softly.

"I'm not joking. After all, I'm the one who dug you out, and you're also the person I trust the most."

Yuzhi leaned back on the sofa, looking at the ceiling, and said with a smile.

"So, if something happens to you in this era, or if you return to your own time, then I'll come looking for you."

With powerful chakra as a foundation, anything is possible, especially since I know where to find such powerful chakra.

Dragon veins are things that can travel through time. Although they are uncontrollable and difficult to control, they can at least be accomplished.

Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at Hikaru, who was listening intently to her. Yuzhi then simply modified some of the cheesy lines she had uttered in her previous life and brought them out.

"If I arrive too early, I'll wait for you. At least I believe that with my power, I can prevent you from becoming the so-called 'ultimate weapon'."

If I were to encounter you as the 'ultimate weapon,' I would do everything in my power to rescue you.

If we arrive too late, we can just rescue you again.

If I happen to run into you, I'll bring you back and never let you leave this place again, because you already belong to this era.

Whether such cheesy words exist in this world, Yuzhi isn't sure, but Hikaru probably has never heard anything like it.

She sat there blankly, seemingly lost in thought for a while, before finally looking at Yuzhi.

"If you get there too early, don't try to save me. If you change the future, you won't be able to save yourself."

Don't worry, I have a cheat code.

Although Yuri murmured something to himself, he wouldn't say it aloud. However, Hikaru's words did evoke some feelings in him.

This girl may be a bit extreme at times, but she is undeniably kind.

"You have to believe me, there's always a way to solve the problem."

After a while, Yuzhi turned to her and said.

But then we wouldn't be able to meet.

Hikaru ignored Haori and stared straight at him, and for a moment the two of them fell silent.

"Alright, you must be tired today, get some rest."

Looking at Hikaru's somewhat stubborn eyes, Yuri smiled and poked Hikaru's forehead again.

"Don't worry, that kind of thing won't happen, and I won't allow it to happen."

"Um."

Guang nodded, and a smile appeared on her face.

Without realizing it, she found that her mood had improved, and that vague sense of unease had disappeared at that moment.

Yuzhi always keeps her word, and she also felt that thinking about all this nonsense was really pointless.

She truly belongs to this era, so she should enjoy everything she has now.

"Exactly, it's not good for this guy to be too popular."

Hikaru secretly glared at Haori, who had just stood up and stretched slightly.

But just then, a well-wrapped book fell from his arms.

"What is this?"

Hikaru picked it up and looked at it strangely, while Hagoromo didn't react at first.

After a moment's thought, he remembered that this was a gift from Asuma, who said he had found it in his father's library.

Before Haori could say anything, Hikaru had already unwrapped the paper covering her.

He didn't care; the gift was meant for both of them anyway, so it didn't matter who opened it.

"You evil, outrageous, perverted Uchiha brat!"

To his utter surprise, Guang, her face flushed, shoved the book into his arms and then ran back to her room, blushing with embarrassment.

Yuzhi was dumbfounded. He even heard the sound of the door being locked, which left him momentarily stunned.

She hurriedly picked up the book, and Yuzhi's expression immediately changed.

Looking at the explicit cover and the large characters on the book cover, Yuzhi's lips twitched slightly.

"This is...it's actually my 'Royal Uncle'?"
