Konoha: This Uchiha is going a bit too far.

Chapter 34 What do you think of the name Uchiha Hikaru? (Please continue reading)

"I never imagined the world had become like this."

Standing on a tree, Uchiha Mumei watched as Haori searched for the corpses of ninjas from so-called "other villages," and she was momentarily dazed.

After a few days of recuperation, she did indeed discover that Yuzhi was very different from the other Uchiha.

Moreover, through this process, she also learned about the current situation.

She herself couldn't believe that she had been sealed away for over a hundred years.

During this period, the ninja world no longer operated on a clan-based model, but rather on a village-based model.

What made her feel most bewildered and incredulous was that the Uchiha had actually reconciled with the Senju from back then and together they established a village!

"Then, what was the purpose of my existence in the first place?"

This question puzzled her, but it did not affect her determination to destroy the Uchiha clan.

Because this family has never changed!

She was also incredibly surprised that Yuzhi would say something like, "Let's burn the Uchiha clan to ashes together."

However, after learning about Yuzhi's past, she realized that Yuzhi and she had similar experiences.

They were all valued by their families after demonstrating their abilities, and were all forcibly bound to the "family honor".

It's just that Yuzhi was luckier than her and didn't suffer that inhuman torture.

They shared a similar plight, and Yuzhi had saved her, plus they had the same goal.

Even if she doesn't completely trust Yuzhi—after all, she's an Uchiha—they can still cooperate, as long as she's careful.

"Who exactly are they here for?"

Yu Zhi had no idea what the girl behind him was thinking. After searching the bodies of the Cloud Ninja, he fell into deep thought.

These Cloud Ninja were part of his mission this time; according to intelligence, they seemed to be monitoring and gathering information.

Moreover, they are very tough; they won't say a word even if they die.

But it's no big deal, as long as he completes his mission.

But completing the task didn't make him happy, because he now had other things to worry about.

The person who gave him a headache was none other than Uchiha Mumei.

Although this girl's ideas are somewhat extreme, what kind of lunatics haven't appeared on the big stage of the Uchiha clan?

His current headache isn't her extreme ideas, but rather how to bring her into Konoha!

After all, he hadn't considered that he would bring a living person back with him before he set off.

"What's wrong? You look so worried. Is something the problem?"

Just as Yuzhi was having a headache, Uchiha Mumei walked over and looked at Yuzhi expressionlessly, asking her a question.

"Or are you changing your mind?"

"Change your mind?"

Yuzhi almost lost his composure when he heard this. How could he possibly go back on his word for the sake of the mission?

"I was just thinking about how to bring you back to the village, since village management was very strict during the war."

"Hmph, that's your problem."

Uchiha Mumei snorted softly upon hearing this.

"Ninjas are still the same; war never stops as long as there are ninjas."

"Alright, now is not the time to discuss this."

Yuzhi shouldn't try to discuss these things with her; her current mental state is somewhat like Sasuke after the massacre of his clan.

Of course, compared to Sasuke, she was more rational and easier to deal with.

"Let's think about how to get into the village, otherwise we won't be able to enter the clan, and then we won't be able to do what we want to do."

Uchiha Mumei glanced at Yuzhi, but this time she didn't refute.

Her original idea was to burn the Uchiha clan to the ground, but Yuzhi rejected her idea outright.

Moreover, the reason given by Yuzhi left her speechless for a moment.

"Perhaps you have the ability to do this, but if you take action in a village, do you think others won't come to your aid?"

No matter how strong you are, you are only one person. When the rescue team arrives, you will only face death.

Then, you'll have no chance left.

This reason was quite valid, and after some thought, she finally agreed with Yuzhi's idea: to take things slowly and find an opportunity to act.

"I don't understand this era; figure it out yourself."

Uchiha Mumei turned her head away, her gaze fixed on the side.

"Also, someone's coming."

"Um?"

Upon hearing this, Yuzhi originally wanted to ask if she could use illusion magic to deal with the guards, but it was clearly not the right time now.

The war is not over, and we must remain vigilant even in the Land of Fire.

Before long, a figure suddenly appeared on the tree branch in front of them, and the person couldn't help but laugh when they saw the haori.

"Who's fighting here? Isn't this our hero, Hagoromo?"

"Lord Jiraiya, you flatter me."

When Hagoromo saw the person who had arrived, he smiled. It was none other than Jiraiya!

But did Hagoromo also have some doubts? Why was Jiraiya here?

Although the fighting on the front lines in the Land of Grass has stabilized, the two sides may begin negotiations.

Even so, as a frontline commander, shouldn't he be in the Land of Fire?

However, Yuzhi didn't ask, as that would only make her seem very impolite.

"The troublesome matter is almost resolved, so naturally I want to take a break. Besides, is Konoha going to hold a funeral?"

Jiraiya seemed to sense Haori's confusion, and he simply smiled and said...

"So, I came back with the rotating troops, and Shikaku and the others are still at the front, so there won't be any problems."

As they spoke, many Konoha ninjas emerged from the surrounding area, clearly having followed Jiraiya.

"Hello, Haori-kun!"

"I never expected to see Haori-kun here."

"Long time no see, Haori."

Upon seeing Yuki, the Konoha ninjas immediately greeted her with friendly smiles.

Wuming frowned slightly upon seeing this scene; she could sense the goodwill of these people.

She was very uncomfortable with this situation, and these people had come for the haori, so in the end she just stood silently in the corner and watched.

"Alright, you guys, I already told you I'd come and see for myself."

Jiraiya waved his hand and interrupted them with a smile.

"Go back, everyone. You've made Yuzhi feel bad."

"Yes, Lord Jiraiya."

Upon hearing this, the group of Konoha ninjas stopped arguing and wanted to get home as soon as possible.

However, as they left, they all smiled and nodded at Yuzhi.

"Are you on a mission?"

After they left, Jiraiya looked at the corpses of the Cloud Ninja on the ground.

"Yes, they're here to monitor and gather intelligence, and I should have my answer now."

Hagoromo nodded, his gaze fixed on Jiraiya.

"It seems that the Hidden Cloud Village isn't so peaceful after all, and their people have infiltrated quite deeply."

Jiraiya instantly understood, and then sighed.

"Let's seal the body and take it back. And would you like to come back with us?"

"this"

Yuzhi instinctively wanted to refuse, but then he suddenly thought of something and nodded with a smile.

"Then thank you very much, Jiraiya-sama."

"Don't mention it, everyone wants to meet your hero."

Jiraiya laughed heartily, then turned around to rejoin the main force.

Watching Jiraiya's departing figure, Haori couldn't help but smile.

He was probably worried about his safety, which is why he asked me to come back with him.

It must be said that Jiraiya was indeed a good person.

Moreover, if he goes back with his unit, the village won't be investigated so strictly!

"Should we go with them?"

After Jiraiya left, Mumei Uchiha came over.

"Yeah, going back with them will save us a lot of trouble."

Yuzhi glanced at the nameless man behind him, thought for a moment, and then simply took off his headband and handed it over.

"Take it with you, at least it'll make the disguise look more convincing."

Wuming hesitated for a moment when he looked at the headband, but still took it.

"And what about you?"

"I'm fine. Quite a few people in the village know me. There's one more thing."

Seeing the girl putting down her hairband and tying her headband, Haori touched her chin before speaking.

"What?" Wuming looked at Yuzhi in confusion.

"Nameless means having no name, but you are no longer a weapon of the Uchiha clan."

Looking at the girl before him, Yuzhi slowly spoke.

"You were originally in darkness, just as you were sealed underground."

But now you have your own will and ideas, and you are following in the footsteps of the light.

I think you could change your name. What do you think of the name Uchiha Hikaru?

"Uchiha Hikaru?"

As a newbie, I'm begging you to follow along! Following along now will determine everything about a book; neglecting a book too long can easily kill it.

Thank you all, Onz
