Konoha: This Uchiha is going a bit too far.

Chapter 121 Danzo and Obito's Actions (10,000-word chapter)

Information about Madara Uchiha and Izuna Uchiha did not reach the ninja world.

However, this is perfectly normal, because this information is far too heavy for the ninja world!

Moreover, in this day and age, there has actually been little publicity for those who established the village.

This has led to a cognitive gap among young people, much like the new generation in Konoha itself.

They have a huge misunderstanding of the strength of Madara Uchiha, and even Hashirama Senju.

Even the Anbu, in the Chunin Exams of the original work, vividly demonstrated this "gap" in performance.

It's understandable that they don't want to promote it, since these two are really not human anymore, and the current film industry naturally doesn't want to cause trouble for themselves.

Nobody wants to live in someone else's shadow their whole life, just like that unlucky guy, Ohnoki.

Moreover, in their view, it would be very difficult for such a terrifying existence to appear in the ninja world again.

Wouldn't it be better to let the modern ninjas grow properly instead of listening to legends that are beyond their reach all day long?

However, after this incident, both Konoha and Iwagakure will likely have to make some changes.

Although it's not certain yet, based on the wood-style techniques they've witnessed and the terrifying fire-style techniques, they must be extra cautious!

Besides, not everyone is completely unaware of this matter.

"Black Zetsu, I have some information to tell you."

Inside the Mizukage's office in Kirigakure.

Black Zetsu was frowning as he looked at the documents in his hand; the atmosphere in Kirigakure was really not good right now.

Last time, they sent a group of talented and gifted young men from the Yuan Master's faction to their deaths, but the attempt failed, which caused the relationship between the two sides to become somewhat tense.

Actually, Black Zetsu didn't take this little thing to heart at first. No matter what, he held onto the Mizukage card tightly.

So no matter how Yuan Shi jumps, it's not a big deal.

The problem was that he realized he had underestimated the influence of that Yuan Master in Wuyin.

This guy seems to have some connection with many families, and his subordinates are extremely loyal to him!

More importantly, he couldn't do anything about it.

"Damn it, how could Kirigakure produce an elder with authority comparable to a Kage?"

Black Zetsu was very unhappy, but there was nothing he could do about it.

What might have been making him feel better was that the bamboo plucker clan was becoming increasingly unruly, which gave him an opportunity to prepare to deal with them!

Apart from that, Obito has been relatively well-behaved lately.

He probably got a scolding from his future self, that's why he's like this.

But just then, the white Zetsu on his body suddenly spoke, which made the black Zetsu frown.

"What happened? Tell me."

"I have some good news, but it also seems like bad news."

"What are you talking about?"

Black Zetsu looked completely bewildered. What did he mean by "very good but will be very bad in the future"?

Are you playing riddles with me?

"Is that so? Is Lord Madara's news good news?"

White Zetsu blinked and asked in confusion, but his words almost made Black Zetsu lose his composure.

What good news is there about Madara Uchiha? Did they find something to hold against him before his death?

But what's the point?

"and then?"

"And then, it seems this Madara-sama isn't the one we know. Is that bad news?"

"What do you mean by 'what'?!"

Black Zetsu hadn't paid any attention at first and just casually replied, but the next moment he froze, and a visible change occurred on his dark face.

"Say that again?!"

"I said."

"Stop! Shut up!"

However, White Zetsu had barely opened his mouth when Black Zetsu interrupted him, leaving White Zetsu completely bewildered.

Black Zetsu was completely stunned; he simply couldn't believe what he was hearing!

What the hell is this good news?

This is all nightmarish news!

Madara Uchiha has appeared?

Not the one we know?

Black Zetsu suddenly shuddered, a terrifying thought flashing through his mind.

Could it be that that damned Obito from that world sent Madara Uchiha over here?

"Tell me everything you saw, quickly!"

"Oh"

Bai Jue looked somewhat aggrieved, but he still nodded and quickly recounted everything he had seen.

Whether it was that he encountered Madara and Izuna, and Madara used Wood Release to fight, or their target seemed to be the Tailed Beasts.

He explained to Black Zetsu everything, including how they would disappear after a certain period of time.

"That's roughly how it is. Although their auras are completely different, even Susanoo's, the tone seems to be that of Lord Madara."

"Um"

Hearing White Zetsu's words, Black Zetsu felt somewhat numb, but he also agreed with White Zetsu's words.

After all, the way he spoke made him want to punch him a couple of times. Could that not be Madara?

Or rather, could this not be the reincarnation of Indra?

Black Zetsu is having a terrible headache right now because he has absolutely no idea what's going on.

Moreover, the fact that their auras didn't match made Black Zetsu even more puzzled.

"Could it be that Madara has switched bodies? Isn't this ruining his future?"

Black Zetsu couldn't understand it at all, but he was certain of one thing.

"If he's not an imposter, then this guy probably doesn't belong to this era either."

After all, such a disappearance either means they've escaped or they've gone back.

Black Zetsu pinched his brow in frustration. To be honest, he didn't know whether he hoped that guy was an imposter or the real one.

It's true, but because they're from different eras, there's a lot of uncertainty involved.

But if it's fake, he'll also feel disappointed, because of Obito.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing I need to tell you."

Just as Black Zetsu was pondering, White Zetsu's half-body suddenly spoke again.

"Next time, please just say what's on your mind all at once, instead of beating around the bush like this."

"Just like pooping, it has to be done all at once."

"Shut up! Just say what you want to say!"

"Why are you being so fierce?"

Bai Jue pursed his lips before continuing to speak.

"Obito is going to Konoha. He said Danzo wants to see him."

"."

For a moment, Black Zetsu felt that he had truly broken down.

Not long ago, he was praising Obito for being well-behaved and obedient, but then this guy actually did something like this?

He couldn't recall who Danzo was for a moment, after all, such a minor character wasn't worth his time.

But the problem is, that idiot Obito is going to Konoha!

In Konoha, there are Minato Namikaze, Uchiha Haori, Uchiha Hotaru, and Uchiha Shisui. What's the difference between Obito going there and sending him away?

He leaned back heavily, his entire body resting on the chair.

"What kind of idiots are all around me?!"

At that moment, his eyes seemed to have truly lost their light—

Orochimaru, how's your experiment going?

"Almost there, almost there, it should be better next time."

In an underground laboratory in Konoha, Orochimaru and Danzo stood side by side.

Orochimaru, however, appeared to be carefully controlling the beaker, conducting an experiment.

However, only he himself knew that he hadn't done anything at all; he was just putting on a show for Danzo.

During this period, Danzo seemed to be urging him more and more, which made Orochimaru a little annoyed.

If it weren't for the need to make another fortune and secretly relocate some important experimental equipment, he probably would have wanted to leave Konoha long ago!

After all, his village was already built, so leaving wouldn't be difficult for him at all.

However, his perfunctory attitude seemed to make Danzo unable to hold back any longer. Danzo looked at Orochimaru with a sullen face and asked in a low voice.

"How long has it been? Three months after three months, and every time I ask you it's almost over. How much longer do you want?"

"Lord Danzo, your arm should feel better now. That's where my time is going. As for the current experiment, perhaps it will be fine next time."

Orochimaru remained remarkably calm in the face of Danzo's questioning, since some of his research had already proven effective against Danzo.

Then he wouldn't worry about what Danzo would do; he could just say "next time is definitely the best!"

Strictly speaking, Orochimaru was still very grateful to Danzo.

This guy not only provided materials and supplemented funding, but also volunteered to act as an experimental prop for himself.

Orochimaru was momentarily dazed, because he really couldn't imagine where he could find such a good person again.

The combination of Hashirama Senju's cells and the Sharingan in Danzo's body can be considered as completing Orochimaru's initial experimental verification.

Even though Danzo's intentions were impure, Orochimaru was genuinely grateful to him; this guy had truly saved him time.

But we still have to try to salvage the situation, since nobody knows how deep the hole this guy dug for himself will end up burying him in the blink of an eye.

"I know, and I'm very grateful to you, but this is just too slow."

Danzo had no idea about Orochimaru's inner thoughts. He pondered for a moment before asking.

"I don't want to wait like this indefinitely. Don't you know the current situation in Konoha?"

"The situation in Konoha?"

Orochimaru tilted his head and asked curiously.

"Konoha is doing pretty well right now. Apart from those three Uchiha clan members entering the High Ninja Council, nothing else has affected it."

"No impact?"

Danzo was so angry he laughed when he heard this. He clenched his fist and hissed.

"Do you know about Jiraiya's return? Do you know what they've been up to lately?"

"Jiraiya, I know."

Orochimaru said casually as he pondered.

"I'm not too sure what they did, but it seems like they held some kind of meeting the day he came back, and they asked me to attend, but I ignored it."

"What? They found you?"

Upon hearing this, Danzo's eyes widened instantly.

"Yeah, isn't that normal? They call me for every kind of meeting."

Orochimaru nodded, then suddenly realized something and looked at Danzo with a strange expression.

"Could it be... Lord Danzo?"

Orochimaru found himself unable to speak, while Danzo gritted his teeth and stared intently at Orochimaru.

For a moment, the two of them looked at each other in silence, and the atmosphere fell into an awkward and strange state.

Orochimaru was genuinely embarrassed, because he hadn't expected Danzo to have gone this far.

However, he also envied Danzo, since not being noticed would reduce a lot of his troubles.

Danzo never expected that he would be excluded from some of the meetings he had been so eager to participate in.

Even more unexpectedly, Orochimaru was so disdainful of such a meeting!

For a fleeting moment, Danzo genuinely wanted to strangle Orochimaru.

At the same time, he was also wondering when he had been excluded from such meetings.

How can such a meeting be considered complete without him? How can we get a reasonable answer?!

"Perhaps they feel that Lord Danzo has not fully recovered yet."

It's unclear how long they remained silent, but Orochimaru finally stuck out his tongue, licked his lips, and smiled.

"Next time, Lord Danzo can go directly there. After all, you are the Hokage's assistant, and Konoha cannot do without you."

"Hmph, I'll save that for myself!"

Although Danzo was already on the verge of losing control, he forced himself to remain calm and nodded seriously.

However, having already hated Minato Namikaze, he made sure to remember this young man even more.

Putting aside the fact that this brat had no respect for him and humiliated him to his face, the phrase "I am the Hokage" still bothers him to this day!

Moreover, it was this guy who allowed the Uchiha clan to enter the high-level meeting, which further challenged his bottom line.

Although Minato Namikaze ultimately made some concessions on the issue of his roots, allowing them to be rebuilt.

However, the Root organization is no longer as full of talented people as before. In Danzo's view, all the new recruits for training are just mediocre.

With the accumulation of various emotions, coupled with the information he learned today, he finally broke down completely!

"I swear, I will do whatever it takes to bring you down from the Hokage position!"

No matter the cost, for Konoha, I will do it!

Danzo roared inwardly. He now had some confidence. Even if the Roots were weak, they could still be used after a few years of training.

As long as Root exists, and as long as Itachi Uchiha, Kou, and others grow up, he can still accomplish quite a few things.

"Then I'll wait for Lord Danzo's good news."

Orochimaru licked his lips, then tilted his head and suddenly spoke.

"However, Lord Danzo, it is perfectly reasonable for you to keep asking me for the results."

But Lord Danzo, it seems I don't have enough materials on hand.

"Um?"

Danzo, who was still making a vow, snapped back to reality upon hearing Orochimaru's words, and immediately became alert.

I don’t know when it started, but whenever Orochimaru opens his mouth, Danzo feels a kind of stress.

Orochimaru's research was like a bottomless pit; no matter how much he invested, he always felt it was never enough!

If Orochimaru hadn't actually been able to produce results, he would have long suspected that he had been tricked out of funding by Orochimaru.

"Didn't I give you a batch last time? Besides, what you want is very dangerous!"

"They're just cells from various families. Are these things more dangerous than the cells of the first generation?"

Orochimaru chuckled softly, then said in a low voice.

"Lord Danzo, you reap what you sow, and besides, we've come this far, haven't we?"

As expected, it was just about needing money and materials again.

Looking back on his collaboration with Orochimaru over the past year or two, Danzo realized that this was the phrase he heard most often.

However, he is indeed running out of funds right now. He gave Orochimaru so much, and the Akatsuki organization also gave him a lot.

In addition, the Root organization also needs money, so even with the Hokage's assistance, he was struggling to keep up.

Just as he was pondering whether to negotiate the price, Orochimaru's sudden remark almost broke his composure again.

"Lord Danzo, you don't want our efforts to be wasted because of your stinginess, do you?"

"."

-

Watching Danzo grit his teeth, yet leave in utter silence.

Orochimaru shook his head indifferently. He didn't care at all about Danzo, no matter what he did.

Anyway, Danzo's value is limited to this, so it would be good if we could dig out more information.

"Unfortunately, I don't have that much time left."

Orochimaru gave a soft snort, but in that instant, he abruptly turned his head away.

Unbeknownst to him, a voice had quietly appeared behind him, silently observing Orochimaru!

"Is it you?"

When Orochimaru saw this figure, he immediately recalled the scene from more than a year ago when this guy met Danzo.

I just don't understand why this guy came here. Shouldn't he be going to see Danzo?

"Long time no see, Orochimaru."

Obito nodded calmly, his gaze fixed on Orochimaru. As if guessing what Orochimaru was thinking, he spoke indifferently.

"Don't be nervous, I'm here to see you."

"Looking for me?"

"Well, there are some things I'd like to talk to you about, after all..."

At this point, Obito paused slightly before speaking meaningfully.

"Didn't you already prepare to leave Konoha?"

Obito's words made Orochimaru frown, but he didn't refute them and instead fell silent.

Obito didn't seem to care, but it was clear he was full of confidence.

More than a month ago, he left Kirigakure and came to Konoha, intending to go directly to see Danzo.

But in this incident, he unexpectedly encountered something even more interesting: he discovered that Orochimaru's situation was unusual!

Therefore, he carefully observed the situation for a month while ensuring his own safety and avoiding detection.

From that moment on, he was absolutely certain of one thing: Orochimaru was probably going to leave Konoha, especially after he discovered that Orochimaru had actually built a village on his own in the Land of Rice Fields!

Obito was extremely excited about this discovery.

He always thought only someone like him could betray him, but he never expected that Orochimaru, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, would also betray him?!

Moreover, who is Orochimaru? He is one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha. This guy knows countless secrets of Konoha.

His departure from the village will undoubtedly be a devastating blow to Konoha!

After figuring out these things, Obito naturally had an idea in mind: to recruit Orochimaru into the Akatsuki organization.

The Akatsuki organization needs more personnel to replenish its ranks; otherwise, it will be unable to act on its future plans.

Orochimaru is incredibly powerful and also a high-ranking member of Konoha. If someone like that joins, it will be very valuable.

This is not only a huge boost to the Akatsuki, but also a massive blow to Konoha!

"Furthermore, everything would be better if Orochimaru listened to me, after all..."

After all, Obito didn't have a deep understanding of the Akatsuki organization. Although he was a member, the Akatsuki was essentially Nagato's organization.

He naturally wanted to place some people inside, to place his own people there!

Regardless of the circumstances, both he and Orochimaru came from Konoha.

"Do you want me to do something with you, or do you want me to do something?"

Just then, Orochimaru suddenly spoke, but at that moment, his gaze turned somewhat dangerous.

His aura instantly turned icy cold, and for a moment Obito even felt as if he were being targeted by a poisonous snake!

"As expected of Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin."

Obito was also somewhat cautious, and his words were a little unclear, but he still managed to remain calm and continue speaking.

"Don't misunderstand, I have no ill intentions. I'm here to invite you."

"invite?"

"Yes, it's just an invitation. Don't you want a stable environment where you can better conduct your experiments after leaving Konoha?"

"Yeah?"

Orochimaru slightly subdued his aura and looked at Obito in front of him.

However, a hint of greed appeared in his seemingly calm eyes; in his eyes, Obito's body was truly a treasure!

However, he was able to control his emotions well, and after a while he nodded slightly.

"Well then, I think we can have a proper talk."

-

"That's strange, where did Orochimaru go?"

Jiraiya paced back and forth in front of Orochimaru's gate; he had come looking for Orochimaru many times.

But every time he came, he couldn't find anyone, which puzzled Jiraiya greatly.

Although he knew that Orochimaru probably had many experimental bases in Konoha, he never wanted to go into the labs to look for people.

"But not being able to see Orochimaru like this doesn't seem like a good solution?"

Jiraiya frowned; his feelings toward Orochimaru were somewhat complicated.

If he felt some guilt, he believed that Orochimaru's current state was likely due to his failure in the competition for the Fourth Hokage position.

But if there is any dissatisfaction, it's just that he lost the Hokage competition, is it really necessary to be so self-destructive?

Tsunade has been back for so long, and this guy just disappears without a trace. Even after I came back, he completely ignores me.

"This can't go on, you bastard!"

Jiraiya cursed under his breath, then simply ran towards the forest of Konoha.

He didn't want this to cause problems with their bond; he needed to find Orochimaru and have a serious talk.

"If all else fails, beat him to wake him up!"

Jiraiya thought to himself as he quickly traversed the forests within Konoha. Although he ignored Konoha's affairs, he knew a little about Orochimaru's bases.

Although Konoha was large, Jiraiya was not slow. However, he spent a lot of time but still got nothing, which gave him a headache.

"Where is it?"

Looking at the moonlight in the sky, Jiraiya stroked his chin and pondered to himself.

"Has he set up some new laboratories?"

Jiraiya muttered to himself, but just as he was about to visit the other laboratories from his memories, he suddenly stopped.

"How about we go in and see what kind of experiments this guy is doing?"

Having this thought, even though Jiraiya knew it might not be a good idea, he couldn't help but let his heart take its course.

After hesitating for a moment, Jiraiya arrived at the door of a laboratory, then broke the seal on the outside and carefully went inside.

"Is nobody here after all?"

Jiraiya glanced around and found that there were no utensils or equipment left behind.

He finally sighed helplessly, but just as he was about to leave, he suddenly noticed some test tubes on the lab table.

These test tubes were empty, but even in the dim light, Jiraiya could keenly sense traces of blood inside them!

After a moment's thought, he simply walked over and took all the test tubes with him.

"Perfect timing to let Tsunade see what Orochimaru is up to."

-

Ding, ding, ding—

Inside a training field, the clanging of metal could be heard incessantly.

Two figures were constantly moving around rapidly, but their movements were completely illogical.

It seemed to flicker in space, leaving the onlookers dumbfounded.

Although the two figures were fighting fiercely, a closer look revealed that one was fleeing and the other was chasing.

boom--

A short while later, a figure suddenly froze, then fell heavily to the ground.

Amidst the smoke and dust, the figure quickly rose to his feet. His full head of silver hair appeared somewhat dirty and disheveled. This person was Kakashi!

"Huff, huff, huff"

Kakashi was panting heavily, his Sharingan transforming into a kaleidoscope as he stared at the fallen haori in front of him.

Around him, there were several Flying Thunder God kunai stuck everywhere.

Yuri crossed her arms and looked at Kakashi. He appeared calm, but she couldn't help but complain inwardly.

"Damn it, in this godforsaken world, talent can actually catch up with cheat codes?"

A month ago, Haori and Hikari transformed into "Madara and Izuna", and Hikari even "teased" Kakashi and Jiraiya together without any pressure.

At that time, Kakashi could not use the Flying Thunder God Technique, or at least he had not demonstrated any skill in it.

But a month later, he actually used the Flying Thunder God Technique right in front of Yuzhi!

This past month has been both incredibly happy and incredibly complicated for Yuzhi.

There are many reasons for my happiness, one of which is the lingering effects of the last meeting.

Yuri has truly experienced what it means for something to happen unexpectedly and unexpectedly; the aftereffects of Madara Uchiha's actions were indeed quite profound!

At Minato Namikaze's suggestion, everyone, including the two advisors who were perceived by Hagoromo as "rigid, conservative, and disliked by the Uchiha," chose to support him without hesitation.

It seems that now, apart from Danzo, no one in the entire Hidden Leaf Village will oppose Hagoromo and his group!

"That was quite an unexpected result."

Although Yuri found it amusing and surprising, the result was still unexpected.

He knew that these two people had also played a role in the Uchiha clan massacre in the original story, so he wondered why such a change had occurred.

To put it simply, it's because of the three kaleidoscopes!

Previously, three pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan were beyond Konoha's ability to withstand, so they would naturally choose to escape.

Now, all three pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan are crucial to protecting Konoha, and the fact that they haven't licked their boots is already a sign of their dignity!

Against this backdrop, the Uchiha received more supplies, and what Hagoromo and the others wanted became simpler.

Such a change can be felt even throughout the entire Leaf Village!

However, his newfound status did not affect him much; he remained the same as before.

After all, his goal was to become Hokage, and this was just an unexpected gain. He was happy, but that was all.

Besides this matter, which made him quite happy, there was another thing that naturally came up with: his Scorching Release.

His Scorching Release had been fused for so long, and this bloodline limit, which he had tried to fuse with himself for the first time, was finally officially completed by Onoki with the help of his talent!

The moment the Scorching Release was completely fused, he clearly sensed that the two chakras were intertwined and there seemed to be no other possibility of separation.

Most importantly, when these two types of chakra intertwined, he seemed to be able to feel the influence of this unique power on his own bloodline.

"It's as if a force activated my bloodline and imprinted the mark of that force into my bloodline."

He now has a deeper understanding of bloodline limits, which explains why bloodlines created by chakra fusion can still be passed down through bloodlines.

Because these powers can indeed be integrated into one's own bloodline, activating or even enhancing it in a special way!

This activation and enhancement didn't have a particularly big impact on Yuzhi, since he had already accomplished it once using "Exceptional".

He didn't feel it was very big, but it was quite unusual for light!

This past month has brought him both joy and puzzlement.

Guang was one of the people who puzzled him.

She, like Yuzhi, completed the Scorching Escape one after the other, but the changes and experiences it brought her were completely different.

She explicitly told Yuzhi that she could feel the enhancement this fusion brought to her bloodline, as well as the changes this fusion brought to herself.

That change made her feel that she had indeed become much stronger again, and it seemed that her bloodline had also reflected this to her eyes!

"Although the strength is not particularly high, it does prove a lot of things. No wonder the Bloodline Limit brings about 'Ascension' directly."

"Even ordinary chakra fusion contains so many special properties, especially in its benefits to bloodlines."

With this clear discovery, Hikari naturally pressed on, and her second goal was to integrate Lava Release.

The progress of Lava Release is much faster than that of Scorch Release, after all, they have the Four-Tails' chakra at their disposal.

Yuri was at a loss for words when faced with Hikaru's bizarre talent, but Kakashi immediately followed up with another powerful punch.

"Alright, you can stop now. I have a general understanding of your situation."

Although Yuzhi felt utterly speechless at these geniuses, he even wondered if he was unworthy to stand with them since he hadn't been cheated out of his talent.

However, he suppressed his frustration and patiently gave Kakashi his critique.

"Although you used Obito's eyes to locate and search the space, you still managed to complete the task overall."

What you need now is to react as quickly as possible, and to better control your posture and center of gravity after traversing space, as well as to identify the enemy's weaknesses.

Only when you've reached this point, and seized the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow, will I consider you to have officially completed your training.

After completing the Flying Thunder God technique, determining one's own state is not a simple matter, because no one knows what form one will appear in.

Alternatively, one can only make adjustments in advance, which requires a very high level of proficiency in the Flying Thunder God Technique, just like Minato Namikaze.

Either make temporary adjustments, but that's more difficult, but that's what haori does.

After all, he has Sharingan.

"I see."

Kakashi was still a little out of breath, clearly exhausted, but he still seemed very happy.

"That way, I might be able to play a role in future battles."

"Please, you've always been very useful, okay? Besides, it took me a long time to train in the Flying Thunder God Technique."

Yuri smiled and shook her head, offering a word of comfort, but Hikaru, who was sitting with Rin and the others watching, almost rolled her eyes.

Kakashi might be a big threat now, but before...

If he didn't use the kaleidoscope's ability, Hikaru probably wouldn't have paid him much attention.

As for the Flying Thunder God Technique, Haori tilted his head slightly, but he did try to train it and mastered it in a week.

Is this what you call taking a long time?

"That's amazing!"

Akai and Asuma both swallowed hard; they hadn't seen anything clearly during the fight between the two!

However, they all knew one thing: Kakashi seemed to have already mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Even according to Yuzhi, Kakashi only managed to do it because of his Sharingan.

But once it's done, it's done; there's no room for luck.

"You two have worked hard."

Seeing that the two of them had stopped, Lin smiled, picked up a handkerchief, and walked over, handing it to Yuzhi and Kakashi respectively.

"Hurry up and wipe it off."

"Thanks."

Haori and Kakashi accepted the handkerchief at the same time, and at that moment Hikaru and Guy also came over.

She glanced at the handkerchief in Yuzhi's hand, but didn't say anything. Instead, she habitually stood next to Yuzhi.

Guy and Asuma surrounded Kakashi, as it was the first time they had witnessed his performance that day.

The strength of the haori was already deeply ingrained in people's minds, and they had all gotten used to it, but Kakashi really surprised them.

"Congratulations! But I won't fall behind you!"

Guy clenched his fists and then shouted at Kakashi, but he still glanced at Haori as he spoke.

After all, what he most wanted to challenge was still the haori.

"Thanks."

Kakashi understood Guy's thoughts, and he smiled and nodded, but also spoke modestly.

"Actually, I'm nothing special. What's amazing is my Sharingan. It's what made me improve like this."

"You're quite talented, otherwise you wouldn't even have a chance to activate this Sharingan."

Hikaru and Kakashi were quite familiar with each other, and although she had kicked him earlier, she didn't take it too seriously.

After all, she didn't really deliver a powerful blow.

"You Uchiha are really peculiar; your Sharingan is just too outrageous."

Asma pursed his lips for a while before finally uttering this sentence.

The Flying Thunder God Technique was already outrageous enough, but now it can be activated by the Sharingan. Doesn't that mean the Sharingan is even more outrageous than the Flying Thunder God Technique?

Sometimes, Asuma really envied these bloodline families.

Because once they awaken their own abilities, they surpass what others might strive for in decades.

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. We have a party tonight, so don't forget."

Seeing that everyone had naturally turned the topic to Kakashi's Flying Thunder God Technique, Lin smiled and reminded everyone.

"With a little preparation, we can almost set off."

"Speaking of which, congratulations to you too, Lin."

Yamashiro Aoba followed behind, and upon hearing Rin's words, he couldn't help but offer his congratulations with envy.

"Now, you are officially Tsunade's disciple, one of the Legendary Sannin."

Being Tsunade's disciple is a great honor.

Although news of this matter had already spread, they had not yet held any of the necessary ceremonies.

However, Tsunade managed to take some time out of her busy schedule to deal with the matter during that month, since she didn't want to see Haori coming to find her.

Now that Rin is a proper disciple of Tsunade, it's an incredibly happy thing for her.

After all, she was a medical ninja, and Tsunade held a special place in her heart.

Moreover, she was originally a disciple of the Fourth Hokage, so her situation is even more special now.

"Thank you."

Lin nodded enthusiastically as always, but her eyes were fixed on Yuzhi.

She knew very well that she probably wouldn't have been able to become Tsunade's disciple without Hagoromo's help.

She remembered that one day Haori simply asked her a question, and not long after, Tsunade actually expressed her willingness to take her as a disciple.

If you say that the haori (feathered branches) had no influence at all, Lin would absolutely not believe it!

In fact, Lin herself didn't know how much Yuzhi had helped her from the battlefield until now.

Although Yuzhi never spoke of it or mentioned it, she kept it firmly in her heart.

"The way she's looking at you isn't right."

However, at this moment, Yuzhi felt a little uncomfortable because Hikaru noticed Rin's gaze and looked at Yuzhi with a playful expression.

However, Yuzhi didn't care at all. He grabbed Hikari's hand when no one was looking at him.

Then, he subtly scratched the palm of Guang's hand before laughing and saying...

"Isn't it normal for me to be popular? And how could she not thank me?"

After all, I did help her out, even if I only said a few words.

"You bastard, what are you doing?"

She glared at Haori, and although she had originally wanted to ask where the money that was suddenly missing from the house had gone, she couldn't bring herself to ask.

"Ying, let's go."

Fortunately, Lin walked towards them at that moment. She struggled slightly, and Yuzhi took the opportunity to let go of her hand.

"Um."

Hikari nodded and quickly walked to Rin's side, seemingly afraid that Haori was about to cause trouble again.

Lin noticed their intimate actions, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she smiled and took Guang's hand.

Where are you going?

Yuzhi gave the two of them a strange look, and then asked.

"I'm going to buy some things with her, and I'll also call the other people to come over."

Guang gave a casual reply, and Lin laughed along.

"We'll be there soon, you can go to the restaurant first."

"Is that so? Then I'll leave Ying to you."

Upon hearing this, Haori smiled and nodded, showing that Hikari was becoming more and more integrated into the environment.

In the past, Hikaru would have gone, but she wouldn't have been as proactive, so Haori was naturally very happy about this change.

She never wanted to become just an autistic girl, especially since being an Uchiha meant that autism was a terrible thing.

"Let's go, Ying will be fine if we leave her with Lin."

Aoba walked up to Yuzhi and said something quietly with a smile.

"Yes, besides, you live together every day. Can't you even stand being apart for a while?"

Asuma also came over at this moment, but his jealous words sounded a bit sarcastic.

However, Yuri didn't hold back and grabbed Asuma's neck from behind, instantly preventing him from escaping.

A group of people were playing around, making the training ground exceptionally lively, except for a large tree in the distance.

In a dimensional space distinct from the real world, Obito's eyes were fixed on everything.

It's unclear whether it was a particular scene that provoked him, or whether everything before him filled him with disgust and anger.

He had been in a good mood because he had solved the Orochimaru problem, but at this moment he couldn't help but clench his fists again.

P.S.: I'm working hard to adjust the time, aiming to resume updates around midnight, or at the very least around 12 PM.
