Konoha: This Uchiha is going a bit too far.

Chapter 77 A New Main Storyline, The Gift of Light (10,000-word chapter)

Pushing open the door of the Hagoromo residence, Uchiha Mikoto took a deep breath before walking out, her face streaked with tears.

What she experienced today was nothing short of a nightmare.

Especially when she heard the words, "Madam, you don't want your child to be affected because of that man," she couldn't bear it anymore.

Unfortunately, Yuri is a demon, and she still remembers what that demon said.

"Crying? Crying is a way of expressing your stance, Madam. Are you refusing?"

After saying this, she dared not cry anymore. The reason she couldn't bear it was because Yuzhi mentioned her child.

This completely exploited her weakness; all she wanted now was for her child's safety.

Therefore, no matter how unwilling or humiliated she felt, she had to endure it now.

"Then wipe it yourself. I will keep my promise. As long as you keep my words in mind, nothing will happen."

Recalling the tissue that Haori casually handed her and what he said, Mikoto clenched her fist.

The death of Fugaku Uchiha was a huge blow to her, but it was still within her capacity to cope.

After all, she was once an excellent ninja who had participated in frontline missions, witnessed the cruelty of war, and seen a lot of death.

Her resilience was far greater than I had imagined.

But if they lay a hand on her child, that would be a complete challenge to her bottom line, something she absolutely cannot tolerate!

"However, he probably won't lay a hand on Itachi."

The autumn wind kept blowing through her long hair. Although her mind was in turmoil, she forced herself to calm down and kept thinking about her current situation.

After careful consideration, she seemed to have come to a plausible conclusion.

"He didn't want to make things too big, after all, the deaths of all the high-ranking members of the family had a huge negative impact on Konoha."

"It has had a huge impact on other families, so he won't harm me and Itachi; we must live."

The clan chief is dead. If something happens to a member of the clan at this time, the situation will be very serious.

If you behave too badly, all the clans in Konoha will be unhappy. If you dare to do this today, will my family members dare to imitate you tomorrow?

It's safe to say that if they don't want to be excluded from the village by the Konoha ninja clan system, then Mikoto and the others are absolutely safe!

"He dared to tell me the truth, perhaps partly because he did indeed have the family's approval, as the clan head, Fugaku did."

Mikoto Uchiha continued to ponder, but then she couldn't help but sigh.

She couldn't really judge what kind of person Fugaku Uchiha was as the clan leader, but she knew that the two major factions within the clan were clearly distinct.

Perhaps the only consolation is that the elders who split the family also died.

"Besides, he probably also believed that if he deceived me, he might be able to gain my trust temporarily."

She continued to think to herself, and soon she guessed something.

"But if I find out the truth in the future, and he doesn't know my situation, I will have the opportunity to take revenge."

He said it directly, which was a clear way of telling me that he would be watching me, or rather, us.

Mikoto has strong analytical skills; she seems to have guessed what Haori was thinking.

Thinking about this only made her feel more helpless. This was a warning, and with these words, there was no need to say anything more.

For example, she might reveal these things to Konoha, or to her good friend Kushina.

If she dares to speak out, then tragedy will definitely unfold!

"So, all I can do now is endure it?"

Feeling her body still stiff, especially her legs which seemed a little inflexible, she couldn't help but lower her head.

When Yuri opened her kaleidoscope, the cold, destructive aura completely locked onto her, and she truly felt how close death was.

Even now, her body hasn't recovered; those eyes were truly terrifying.

She looked up at the sunset on the horizon, and after a long while, she sighed.

"It seems I have no choice but to endure it."

-

"You seem to be enjoying being the bad guy, don't you?"

Hikari appeared in Yuri's room, but the way she looked at Yuri seemed a little off.

"Although what you said seems normal, for some reason, the more I think about it, the more something feels off."

Is it appropriate to use the tactic of "Madam, you want it too"? This is something commonly seen in some mysterious codes.

Yu Zhi mentally complained, but he still started spouting nonsense.

"You're clearly mistaken. This is just to dispel some of her unrealistic ideas and also to remind myself that she knows the truth, and I won't let my guard down."

"Why not just kill her? Why go through all this trouble?"

Guang didn't quite understand, and she felt no sympathy whatsoever for these so-called high-ranking officials.

Kill her, that's my mission.

When Yuzhi heard that Hikaru had such a strong desire to kill, he could only helplessly complain in his heart before slowly explaining.

"Don't you want to be excluded from the village by other ninja clans?"

Hikaru looked at Haori with a half-understanding, and shook his head after a while.

"Fine, you always have an excuse anyway. I don't understand any of it. I really don't know what's going on in your head all day."

Nine years of compulsory education, three years of high school, four years of university, plus years of brutal beatings in society and the ninja world.

Yuzhi thought to herself that her own experience was quite interesting.

If I were to follow Jiraiya's example and write a book about the ninja world, it might become a bestseller, though I might have trouble coming up with a title.

"Let's not talk about these things anymore. Anyway, she's not a threat to us, so don't worry."

Yuzhi didn't think too much about it. She had already shown her her strength and clearly told her where the "boundaries" were.

Moreover, she cares so much about her child; unless she completely goes insane, she won't foolishly do anything she shouldn't.

Of course, Yuzhi will arrange for someone to keep an eye on things; one can never be too careful.

"Oh right, didn't you say you were going to give me something?"

"Yes, I do want to give you something."

Guang nodded, then her expression turned serious.

"But thinking about it carefully, I need some time to make some adjustments."

Because I don't want to cause any misunderstanding between us, but I believe what I'm giving you will be helpful.

Is that so?

Hearing this, Yuzhi became quite curious.

He spoke so solemnly, expressing concern about misunderstandings and offering to help. What exactly does Guang want to do?

"What impact will this have on you?"

"Won't."

"To tell the truth."

"It might consume some of your eye power, but don't worry, there won't be any problems."

Hearing Hikaru say that, Haori hesitated for a moment but ultimately didn't ask any further questions.

People from the Uchiha clan can be really stubborn at times. If they decide to help you or give you something, they will do it even if you don't want it.

Moreover, if they don't want to talk about it, asking won't help, and there's no need to ask, because they'll eventually tell you themselves.

"It consumes eye power... Could it be some kind of eye technique ability?"

Yuzhi muttered to himself, which piqued his interest. The two eye techniques he had just displayed were probably a combination of Itachi and Sasuke's.

If nothing unexpected happens, these are very likely transplanted, so what her own pupil technique is is still unknown.

This time, he might be able to get some information.

He shook his head and stopped paying attention to the matter. He was now more concerned about his system rewards.

Because at that moment, his system interface refreshed again—

Main quest completed: He can be replaced.

[Reward: Glorious Evolution]

[Adapting to the current world, once the host's power reaches a certain limit, they can choose a specific area to focus on improving.]

[Selectable range: Body, Mind, Chakra]

[Number of Evolutions: 3]

Glorious evolution?

When Yuzhi saw the reward, he was stunned for a moment because the name seemed somewhat familiar.

When he suddenly remembered where he had heard the name, his face instantly darkened.

"I don't think I have three arms, nor do I have any intention of mechanical ascension, do I?"

If nothing unexpected happens, this ability probably comes from Victor, the three-armed man, since I already have one ability from Syndra.

Regardless, the help this ability provided warmed Yuzhi's heart.

Although this ability seems inferior to 'Exceptional,' which can directly enhance his eyes.

But as Yuri gained a deeper understanding of this ability, he suddenly realized that it was actually no less powerful than "Exceptional"!

"'Exceptional' refers to my bloodline and my eyes, while this focuses more on my basic conditions."

The most important basic requirements for a ninja are naturally physical strength, mental strength, and chakra. Moreover, physical strength and mental strength can actually be regarded as "Yin Release" and "Yang Release".

Every ninja actually possesses these two techniques, but the difficulty of unleashing them is unimaginable.

Aside from certain secret techniques and bloodline limits that can be manifested, most other people can only passively use these two techniques.

"Simply put, these two options, in a sense, also enhance my Yin Release and Yang Release techniques!"

The benefits of Yin Release to the Uchiha clan are self-evident; the Sharingan is the product and manifestation of the ultimate Yin Release.

Yang Release is the most important basic ability of the Senju clan. Even without any special techniques to demonstrate it, their powerful physical abilities are already enviable.

The most typical example is Hashirama Senju, whose physical abilities are so strong that they make people's scalp tingle.

That ultimate Yang Release forged his extremely resilient body, gave him incredible power, and also granted him unimaginable healing abilities.

Yuri actually had serious doubts. Back then, when he defeated Madara, it wasn't just because he was indeed a bit stronger than Madara—after all, once he used "True Several Thousand Hands," both Madara and Kurama were brutally beaten.

Another thing is his freakish physique, after all, he was recovering while fighting.

"Although I can't reach the level of Hashirama Senju, since I don't have that kind of body, I think I will get a huge improvement as long as I level up."

Leaving aside the question of how well it can recover, improvements in speed, strength, and other aspects are definitely foreseeable.

In addition, his durability will definitely increase rapidly, after all, his physique comes from Akai.

It was actually a waste for him to have such a physique, because his fighting style was completely different from Akai's.

He focuses more on technique, avoids excessive physical contact, and pursues a fighting style that aims to kill with a single blow.

Ah Kai, on the other hand, is more outgoing and constantly seeks physical contact.

But no matter what, durability is an extremely important trait, since even a haori can't guarantee that he won't get hit!

As for chakra, according to his understanding, this is to enhance the quality of chakra.

Simply put, you need to use a certain amount of chakra to unleash a technique and achieve the desired power.

However, if your chakra quality is high enough, you can achieve the desired effect with only half or even less of the amount.

If you wish, you can even use more chakra to make this technique even more powerful.

"It overlaps somewhat with my eye technique, but combining the two can save me energy."

Yuzhi pondered to himself, feeling exceptionally happy.

The rewards from side quests are already pretty good, but the rewards from main quests are even more outrageous.

However, the main quests are relatively difficult, and the time and effort required to complete them are unimaginable.

The main quest was completed quickly this time, mainly because he encountered a good opportunity, and his own strength was sufficient to uncover the light.

Without Kakashi's eyes and the assistance of light, it would have taken him a very long time to achieve this.

In any case, we have to wait for Shisui to grow up and be willing to go crazy with us before we have a chance.

"But now, it seems I have no tasks. Am I slacking off?"

He has basically cleared all his tasks and just finished the main quest, leaving him feeling somewhat lost.

[Obtain new main quest]

[Generating task details]

However, just as he was thinking this, his system suddenly refreshed its interface.

Seeing this, even Yuzhi couldn't help but twitch his lips. He had only thought about it for a moment, and it actually happened?

But this is good too. With a current main quest, at least he knows what direction his efforts should be directed towards.

And he can slowly begin to prepare in order to complete this main quest.

"As long as it's not my first main quest again: 'Survival'."

The first main quest of the haori is very simple, but these simple tasks are often the most difficult.

On the battlefield, no one can guarantee their safety, especially someone who is just starting out as "cannon fodder."

Just as he was pondering this, his task was finally completed and refreshed.

[New main quest acquired]

A true man should not remain subservient to others for long.

"."

-

"You are the savior of this world, Nagato."

"Yahiko!"

The Land of Rain, within that unchanging curtain of rain.

Konan let out a heart-wrenching scream, while Nagato stood there, stunned and lost in thought.

In front of him, Yahiko leaned against him and murmured intermittently, his whole body slowly sliding down to the ground.

In Nagato's hands, a kunai was stained with blood.

Blood vessels rose in Rinnegan's eyes, and a cold and desperate chakra emanated from his body.

"What's wrong with those eyes?"

On the hillside, Danzo and Hanzo stood together, having formed an alliance.

What Danzo needed was simple: to inform Konoha in writing that they would form an alliance with Konoha if Danzo became Hokage.

Hanzo's request was simple and clear: he asked Danzo to help him deal with a rising force in the Land of Rain that was even threatening him.

Danzo didn't take this request to heart; in fact, he looked down on Hanzo.

The fact that even a small force or organization could threaten him shows that Hanzo's control was inadequate.

However, he didn't think there was any problem with it affecting the forces that controlled his rule, regardless of who they were or what they thought.

Just erase it directly, there's no need to think about it at all!

"But why do I have this uneasy feeling about that kid's eyes?"

Danzo silently thought to himself, and the next moment when he saw the brat rush up to save people, he immediately followed Hanzo and dodged away.

Hanzo, however, would not let such an opportunity pass. While Nagato was rescuing people, he immediately launched a sneak attack on Nagato with the explosive tags he had already planted!

"Is it over?"

Danzo thought to himself, but through the smoke, he could clearly sense that the brat had escaped.

"Danzo, it's time to fulfill your promise."

Hanzo naturally noticed this as well, and he turned to Danzo beside him and said something.

"I understand without you reminding me."

Danzo snorted coldly, but he still nodded.

As the smoke cleared, they all looked coldly at Nagato and his two companions, but Nagato himself exuded an icy aura.

Nagato's legs were covered in burns, yet he still stood in the rain.

He placed Xiao Nan on the ground, and the next moment his gaze turned coldly to the crowd above.

Scenes of Yahiko flashed through his mind, but at this moment, his dearest friend had become a cold corpse.

"You all deserve to die!"

His voice was exceptionally cold, and his Rinnegan was icy.

Seeing this scene, Danzo suddenly felt a little uneasy, and so did Hanzo beside him!

"Let's get started."

"Let's do it!"

The two issued the order almost simultaneously: to eliminate such an unstable factor as soon as possible in order to avoid any unforeseen complications!

However, Nagato also moved at this moment. In the past, when he was with Yahiko, he had always deliberately avoided his Rinnegan.

Because the power of those eyes was too terrifying, he dared not use them lightly for fear of causing unimaginable consequences.

Having received guidance from Jiraiya and advice from Yahiko, he was also willing to try to avoid fighting through communication.

He believed that as long as he followed Yahiko and helped Yahiko, everything would be alright.

But now everything has changed. This world is not so wonderful. The essence of this world is nothing more than hell!

"Summoning Jutsu: Gedo Statue!"

Just as the ninjas from Amegakure and Root were about to reach him, his technique was already complete.

In an instant, a burst of destructive chakra erupted!

With a hoarse roar, a monster the size of a mountain suddenly burst forth from the ground.

"what!"

With a sweep of its hands, the monster instantly wiped out the ninjas who had just approached it.

And the monster slowly crawled out from underground, its hideous face resembling that of a demon!

"What is that?"

The demonic statue, resembling a malevolent spirit, roared madly, causing the earth and the rain to tremble violently.

When Danzo saw this scene, he was also somewhat frightened. This was not the kind of change he wanted to see!

"Is it the power of those eyes? What exactly are those eyes?"

Suddenly, Danzo thought of a possibility, and his eyes instantly turned greedy.

But then he saw Nagato suddenly connect with that monster, his whole body rapidly wasting away, and the bones beneath his skin becoming faintly visible.

His gaze calmed down slightly; this self-destructive ability didn't seem to suit him very well.

"However, now that I've encountered this opportunity, I cannot let it go."

Danzo quickly made a decision and whispered it to Ryoma Aburame beside him.

"Tell them to end the fight quickly, and also, I want his eyes."

But before he could finish speaking, the demonic statue of the heretic roared.

A transparent dragon soul burst out of the Gedo Statue's mouth and flew wildly toward everyone!

Anyone who was swept past by this dragon soul almost instantly collapsed to the ground, as if they had lost their soul.

Nagato was now acting like a madman; he had no intention of letting anyone go!

At this moment, Danzo's expression finally changed.

"This is truly spectacular. Is this the power of the Rinnegan?"

In the alternate dimension, Obito was calmly watching this scene unfold with Black Zetsu.

This was a scene they had been looking forward to for a long time, and it was also the most important step in their plan.

"That's right, this is the power of the Rinnegan."

Black Zetsu nodded, then said to Obito with a hint of flattery.

"Your illusion magic is getting more and more powerful. You can even influence someone like Hanzo silently. You've grown a lot."

"Hanzo already had this idea, I just went along with his line of thinking and let him amplify it all."

Obito shook his head indifferently and said nonchalantly.

"Moreover, Danzo's arrival intensified his inner desires, so it was all very simple; I just made him use a more extreme method."

After being rejected by Yahiko, Obito harbored resentment and kept thinking about how to kill Yahiko.

Danzo's arrival, coupled with Hanzo's ambitions, gave him an opportunity: to make Nagato kill Yahiko with his own hands.

Only in this way will Nagato's heart completely collapse and he accept what he said before.

"But no matter what, you've accomplished something that's unimaginable for ordinary people. That's the work of the demigod Hanzo."

Although Black Zetsu felt that what he said was somewhat disgusting, he continued to laugh.

"It doesn't matter anymore, I'm Uchiha Madara now!"

Obito didn't seem to take Hanzo seriously. After a long period of study, and with his own cells merging better with the White Zetsu cells, he had achieved his goal.

Furthermore, his application of pupil techniques has become more refined, and he is now confident that he will not be at a significant disadvantage against anyone!

Of course, this may not include haori (feathered garments).

Obito still remembered that he was injured when the haori tore through space, and he would never forget that.

"By the way, how's the investigation going with the person next to Hagoromo?"

"There isn't much information yet, but that woman is quite unusual."

When the topic of haori came up, Black Zetsu looked somewhat helpless. He knew that Obito hated this person to the core, but it didn't seem right to keep thinking about him.

However, it's good for people to have some obsessions; at least it can ensure that they keep moving forward.

Follow the path you set.

"It seems I'll have to go to Konoha myself after this matter is over."

Obito remained silent for a moment after hearing Black Zetsu's words before speaking indifferently.

"Besides the people around Yuzhi, I also remember that Konoha has the Nine-Tails, so I can investigate that as well."

Konoha is a pain that will never leave his heart. He must do something in this false world about the village that has completely forgotten him.

Madara Uchiha's plan is to collect the Tailed Beasts. Although it's not time yet, it's not a big deal for him to do something in advance.

"Never mind, that's a matter for later."

Obito shook his head, his gaze returning to the battlefield where the battle had subsided.

At this moment, a smile finally appeared on his face beneath the mask.

"Have you felt the falseness of the world? Have you felt that this world is nothing but an illusory hell?"

Welcome to the team, Nagato!

-

A gentle autumn breeze rustled through Konoha Village.

With a haori glowing, Kakashi and Rin headed towards Minato Namikaze's house.

After being cooped up at home for almost half a month, Yuzhi finally managed to finish up most of the things that needed to be done.

His eyes had long since returned to normal, and he needed to pay a visit to the future fourth generation leader.

"Haori, Ying, I never expected such a big thing to happen to your family. Please accept my condolences."

Lin walked to the side, watching Yuzhi and Hikaru, and spoke softly.

"I've been wanting to visit you for a while, but unfortunately we weren't allowed in. I'm so sorry."

Upon hearing Lin's words, both Haori and Hikaru's expressions turned somewhat strange.

Hikaru might have been a little embarrassed, but Yuri was internally complaining.

There's nothing to apologize for, and nothing to grieve over.

After all, the culprit is right in front of you, and everyone's in a good mood.

"Thank you, Lin."

Guang pursed his lips, but finally smiled at Lin.

"Thank you, but don't worry, this has nothing to do with us."

Yuzhi shrugged and immediately began to speak.

"After all, clan leaders and elders are all important figures, and they have nothing to do with us insignificant people."

Upon hearing this, Guang couldn't help but glance at him.

She discovered that Yuzhi was really spouting nonsense, claiming she was a nobody and then launching a powerful attack on a big shot.

"It's good that everything is alright. Those people really have nothing to do with the haori."

Kakashi was relieved to see that Hagoromo didn't show much emotional change due to the changes in his family.

After all, in his eyes, Yuzhi was one of his best friends, and he didn't want anything to happen to her.

"Speaking of which, Hagoromo, are you going to participate in this Jonin Exams? You're still a Chunin, aren't you?"

"Sigh, I thought Yuki was already a Jonin."

Lin was also somewhat surprised, after all, Yuzhi was a hero of Konoha, and it seemed a bit unreasonable for him to still be a Chunin.

"I'm still a Chunin, but I should be able to pass the exam smoothly this time."

Yuzhi smiled, then asked curiously.

"By the way, who are the participants in this assessment, and do you know when the assessment deadline is?"

"You need to ask the teacher about the deadline, but there are quite a lot of people taking the exam."

Lin said with a smile.

"It seems like Kai is going to participate, Asuma is also planning to participate, as are Aoba and Genma, and me."

"It seems this time is indeed interesting."

It's quite interesting that so many of their classmates participated. To be honest, even Yuzhi doesn't know when they passed the Jonin Exams.

However, the biggest change is with Lin, since at this point in the original story, she no longer has much to do with the story.

The four chatted as they walked, and even Hikari was pulled into the conversation by Rin.

Yuri really liked this environment, especially since there was no war, he felt very relaxed.

Besides, having such a good relationship with them is crucial for Yuzhi's subsequent main quest!

[Obtain a new main quest: A true man should not remain subservient to others for long]

Although it hasn't been officially announced, you have effectively become the clan leader.

The village was jointly built by the Uchiha and Senju clans. If the Senju could become Hokage, why couldn't the Uchiha?

A true man should not remain subservient to others for long; he should seek an opportunity to become the Hokage of Konoha.

To be honest, seeing the new mission description, Yuri already knew what the main storyline was without even reading the mission details.

This made him inwardly complain, "Does this guy think he's some kind of Lu Bu?"

But thinking about it, it seems he really did kill Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Setsuna with his own hands.

He quickly shook his head. Those two bastards weren't sincere towards him, and they certainly didn't treat him like an adopted son!

They only try to win you over and exploit you when you have value; when you have no value, nobody cares what you are.

To be honest, this new task is giving Yuzhi a bit of a headache. Becoming Hokage is no easy feat for the Uchiha clan.

He can forget about becoming the Fourth Hokage, since Konoha is no longer the Sand Village where talent is dwindling, and he doesn't have Gaara's powerful background.

Even in the eyes of some high-ranking officials in Konoha, the Uchiha were traitors, and this path was destined to be extremely difficult.

"However, anything is possible with effort, and now is a good time. If we work hard and strive for it, we will always have a chance."

The system didn't specify which generation of Hokage Yuzhi should become, so he could take his time.

However, he had no interest in outlasting everyone before taking power; the rewards from the main quest were simply too generous.

"Therefore, at this stage, we still need someone who has no ill will towards the Uchiha to become Hokage."

Then develop the family business, leverage the security detail to increase influence and share the spoils, and finally find a suitable opportunity.

Yuzhi had a basic plan in mind, but as for Naruto and the like, he actually had a wide range of choices.

Orochimaru doesn't harbor any ill will towards the Uchiha at this stage. After all, he needs a team to become Hokage, and Hagoromo originally worked with him in the Land of Whirlpools.

However, his problem is very serious. If Yuki had received this mission earlier, he would have tried to help Orochimaru.

But now that his reputation is ruined, and the Hokage cannot have any blemishes, it is naturally no longer relevant to him.

Minato Namikaze also harbored no ill will towards the Uchiha clan, and he had a certain relationship with Hagoromo, and the original plan was to find him.

So the plan was carried out as originally planned, but unfortunately Minato Namikaze also had a flaw.

He is more easily influenced by the Third Hokage and others, but this is sometimes a bad thing and sometimes a good thing!

Welcome!

When Yuri and her group arrived at Minato Namikaze's house, Minato and Kushina were exceptionally welcoming.

In particular, when Kushina saw Haori, she immediately walked over with a smile, then pretended to be dissatisfied.

"Hey you, it's been a while since you've been here. Do you think you've learned enough sealing techniques?"

Come, come, I'm going to give you a good test.

Kushina already had a good impression of Hagoromo, not only because of Kakashi and others, but also because she was very happy that Hagoromo was willing to remember the history of the Uzumaki clan last time.

Then, Yuzhi provided information about the orphans of the Uzumaki clan, which made her even more grateful.

"Kushina-senpai, let's forget about this. Although I haven't been slacking off, I haven't made much progress either."

Hagoromo still felt somewhat guilty towards Kushina, after all, he had treated her as a tool back then.

"Tch, you can't work on it only sporadically. Your sealing technique talent is quite good."

Kushina didn't really intend to make things difficult for Haori; she merely offered a reminder before glancing at Hikari beside her.

"Hey, this is your girlfriend, not bad. Minato was around this age back then too."

"Cough cough cough cough"

Minato couldn't hold back any longer, especially when he saw his female disciple's head bowed. He immediately coughed and interrupted her.

"Um, I'd like to talk to Haori-kun, since something so serious happened to his family, so..."

Minato dared not deny it, nor did he intend to; the smile on his face already showed how proud he was.

However, now is not the time to talk about these things. Even though it was a bit unexpected that Yuzhi came with Kakashi and the others, it's good that they came.

"Okay, that's true."

Kushina hadn't forgotten about the Uchiha clan, so she enthusiastically pulled Hikaru along and greeted Kakashi and Rin.

"Let them talk, we're ignoring them. Kakashi, come help us!"

"Yes," Kakashi rolled his dead fish eyes and followed.

Yuri glanced at the somewhat bewildered Hikaru, smiled, and followed Minato Namikaze to the balcony.

"Minato-senpai, you and Kushina-senpai have a really good relationship."

When they arrived on the balcony, Minato seemed to be still figuring out how to start the conversation, so Haori simply spoke first.

"Forehead"

Minato paused for a moment, then laughed.

"Thank you. If all goes well, we're getting married. We hope you can come."

"That's natural."

Haori smiled and nodded.

"Also, thank you for conveying this message, Minato-kun. Minister Shikaku has already communicated with us."

Although Yuri didn't manage the police department's affairs too much, Uchiha Shin and Uchiha Shu would tell him about any major events.

After all, he initiated the reform of the police department, so he naturally needs to understand and take responsibility for any problems that arise.

"We were just reporting the facts."

Minato thought for a moment before speaking.

"However, if we may be so bold, we are actually more curious about what state the Uchiha are in right now."

After all, the Uchiha clan is a member of Konoha, and everyone is concerned about her current situation.

Is it because the third generation cares a lot?

Yu Zhi found it amusing, but after thinking for a moment, he said...

"Minato-senpai, you should know how Fugaku Uchiha's father became the head of the Uchiha clan, right?"

"I understand what Haori means." Minato understood instantly. Just as I thought!

"However, everyone is very restrained; the family cannot withstand a major blow."

Yuzhi continued spouting nonsense.

"It's just that everyone's ideas are not aligned, just like before, but fortunately we can talk about it together."

"So, what are your thoughts, Haori-kun?"

Upon hearing this, Minato's mind stirred slightly before he cautiously asked.

"I'm friends with Kakashi, Rin, Guy, and Asuma."

Yuzhi was somewhat surprised that he was asking her instead of Uchiha Xiu and Uchiha Xin, but after considering it for a moment, she still spoke.

"Actually, if Minato-senpai knew me well enough, he should know that Elder Setsuna was willing to train me because my parents once followed him."

Unfortunately, my parents passed away early, and I don't even have many memories of them.

"I'm sorry, Haori-kun, I shouldn't have brought up your bad memories."

Upon hearing this, Minato fully understood what Yuori meant, and he couldn't help but reach out and pat Yuori on the shoulder.

"However, Konoha is a big family. We will look after each other and work together to move forward."

"Then I must thank you very much, Minato-senpai."

Minato understood him, and he naturally understood Minato's words as well, but there was one thing he hadn't expected.

Konoha, Fugaku Uchiha, and Mikoto Uchiha are all the same; they always seem to want to find the culprit.

This precise timing, hitting the culprit right where it landed, made Yuzhi feel somewhat amused no matter how she looked at it.

But thinking about it carefully, Yuzhi feels that she should still thank him for the persona he created!

Without such an excellent character design, he would probably have been labeled an "evil Uchiha brat" long ago.

"However, Minato is probably just observing and gathering information, but it's clear that he thinks highly of me."

Yuzhi quickly thought to himself that a high evaluation was indeed a good thing, as it made it easier for him to say something.

"Also, Minato-senpai, I think I should congratulate you in advance."

"Um?"

Minato was in a good mood. He was taken aback when he heard what Haori said, and then asked with a smile.

"I wonder what Yui-kun is congratulating me on."

"Minato-senpai, congratulations on your upcoming marriage, and congratulations on possibly being the best choice for Konoha."

Yuzhi smiled, then said softly.

Minato was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then his expression changed drastically.

"Haori-kun, you can't just say things like that!"

Yuzhi didn't speak, but smiled and looked at him quietly.

Minato, on the other hand, calmed down, and his eyes began to flicker, as if he were pondering something.

And as he pondered, his emotions seemed to become even more chaotic.

After a long pause, Yuzhi finally spoke with a smile: "Minato-senpai, as a member of Konoha, who hasn't dreamed of becoming Hokage?"

"Indeed." Minato Namikaze nodded somewhat blankly.

"We're all striving for our dreams. Maybe that's just me joking, but doesn't Minato-kun want to become Hokage?"

"Yes, that's true. Becoming Hokage is indeed our dream."

-

"What did you talk about with Minato Namikaze? Why did he seem so distracted afterwards?"

Back home, Hikaru sat on the bed, swinging her legs, looking at Haori with a curious expression.

Tonight they enjoyed dinner together at Minato Namikaze's house. The lively atmosphere felt somewhat unfamiliar to Hikaru, but he also liked it.

However, Minato Namikaze, as the male head of the household, was often distracted. Although he still appeared kind, everyone could see his absent-mindedness.

Clearly, he appeared after he finished talking with Yuri, and although Hikaru didn't like meddling in other people's business, he still found it strange.

"I just told him some interesting things casually, and he just got more and more confused over and over again."

Yuri said casually that it was no big deal to tell Minato Namikaze about this in advance.

Sooner or later, Hiruzen Sarutobi would tell him anyway, and besides, Haori had always acted "very smart" in front of him, so it was only natural for her to remind him.

He should have thought of this much earlier, but being in the thick of it sometimes blinds him to preconceived notions.

Or rather, he never really considered the possibility of becoming Hokage.

After all, above him are Jiraiya and Tsunade.

But after Yuzhi's "tips," he naturally came up with many ideas, which was more than enough for Yuzhi.

Besides, Yuzhi isn't afraid that he'll say something to Hiruzen Sarutobi. He's still the Hokage, and if you go and say something like that, the impact will be huge.

"Alright, let's not talk about that. Didn't you keep saying you had something for me, but it just needed some adjustments?"

Yuri was too lazy to think about Minato Namikaze anymore, and he smiled as he looked at Hikaru.

"How is it now?"

"You want it that much?"

"After all, this is a gift from you, so of course I want it."

Guang tilted his head slightly, then nodded.

"Okay, it's almost finished adjusting, we can give it a try."

As she spoke, she instantly activated her kaleidoscope.

"Give me your hand."

"what?"

Yuzhi paused for a moment, then asked cautiously.

"What do you mean by 'you can try'? If it's not finished yet, I'm not in a hurry."

"Give me your hand."

"Oh"

Yuri was somewhat helpless, but he still trusted Hikaru, so he reached out his hand.

Hikaru grabbed his hand, and the next moment Hikaru's eyes began to spin rapidly.

"This is."

Yuri clearly felt a power being transmitted to him.

Such imprinting is slow and complex, and the light is watching closely as it controls these powers.

After a while, light finally closed his eyes and loosened his grip on the haori.

Only then did Yuzhi notice that there was a new pattern on his wrist, and this pattern was the shape of a kaleidoscope!

"This is another of my abilities."

Guang seemed a little tired, but she still spoke softly.

"This ability requires an inscription to take effect. With this inscription, I can establish a mental and chakra connection with the marked person."

If I wanted, I could absorb the chakra of those marked, alter their memories, and even use them in conjunction with my genjutsu.

Upon hearing these words, Yuzhi's hand almost trembled.

What kind of insane ability is this?

If this demonic mark were placed on everyone, wouldn't that be an infinite Tsukuyomi?

Haori always knew that Hikari was abnormal, but this demon's ability is beyond abnormal, isn't it?

Aren't you scared?

Seeing that Yuzhi hadn't said a word and her expression hadn't changed at all, she couldn't help but ask curiously.

"I believe you, and didn't you say you made adjustments?"

Yuzhi spoke almost instinctively, but he didn't say anything more after realizing what he had said, since he hadn't said anything wrong anyway.

"Thanks."

She stared at the haori for a while before finally smiling.

"But don't worry, after I make the adjustment, all that's left on you is a fragmented mark."

I can use this ability to control others, but I can also use it to give back to others.

The only ability of the mark I gave you is that I can provide you with chakra at any time.

"What are you doing?"

"Didn't you say we were friends and family?"

Seeing Haori's slightly surprised expression, she smiled and continued.

"You're such a troublemaker. I don't want anything to happen to my best friend or my family."

Thank you so much for the generous donation from "Ignore Me"!
