Minato then looked at Tokuma and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Having this map of the explosive tags' distribution has made the elimination work much simpler."

Yun smiled and replied, "These detonating tags haven't been used for nearly thirty years. It's only been a few days. It can't be that coincidental."

Minato got up and searched through the documents, finally finding the record he needed after a while.

After flipping through the documents, Minato looked at Kumo and said, "This time, Team 10's assessment mission will be considered a B-rank mission. Kumo, you must guide them well. Kumogakure will be there for next year's Chunin Exams."

Hidden in the clouds?

Is it the Chunin Exams early next year?

Is this a grand event? A display of military force?

"Understood. I promised the students I'd have a barbecue dinner later. Is Hokage coming?"

Minato smiled wryly and picked up a thick book: "I can't go. I was hoping to finish my work quickly today so I could go back and give my son some guidance."

"However, it seems impossible now. The information you brought is not something that can be solved simply by removing the explosive tags. The extent of the tags' failure indicates that it occurred nearly thirty years ago, but the person who did it still needs to be reconfirmed."

Yun nodded and replied, "Yangyan Village is just my guess; the rest will require the Hokage to verify."

After saying that, Yun left with Tokuma. During this time, Tokuma merely bowed and said nothing except "Hokage-sama".

However, now that the information had been given to the Hokage, Tokuma breathed a sigh of relief.

……

After the two left, Shuimen in the office area picked up the scroll that Yun had just handed him.

Was it discovered by accident?

Further research in Uchiha literature led to the speculation that it was the work of Kagerou Village.

After concentrating for a long time, Minato lowered the scroll.

Regardless, the decision to bring the Uchiha back into Konoha was not wrong, although some things still need to be considered now.

……

The barbecue restaurant was the first gathering of the newly formed Class 10.

"Celebrating the official formation of Team 10, and celebrating you all officially becoming ninjas! Cheers!"

All four of them were holding juice because of their age, even Yun, the Jonin.

Uchiha Izumi chatted excitedly with Inuzuka Hana, while Tokuma, standing to the side, seemed a little reserved.

Yun patted his shoulder and said softly, "Don't be anxious about gains and losses when you're just a seedling that hasn't grown up yet. Since you've already made up your mind, just keep going."

Tokuma looked at Yun, nodded, and joined in.

After a long while, Yun, who was eating and drinking, found herself becoming the topic of conversation among the three.

After all, among those of the same generation, only Yun was able to become a legend. Even Itachi, who has now also become a Jonin, is not yet worthy of the title of legend.

"My mother was stunned when she heard that Yun was my team leader. Moreover, she only found out from Tokuma that Yun and I were in the same class."

"It's the same at home, but Master Hizashi will probably talk to me tomorrow, since the teacher has a special meaning to Hyuga."

"Quan, living with an older brother like this must be a lot of pressure, right?"

Faced with Inuzuka Hana's teasing, Izumi paused for a moment and shook her head: "No, not at all. My brother has always been very good to me. In short, my brother is always right. ^_^"

Hana Inuzuka propped her head up with one hand: "I have a younger brother at home who will be starting school in September."

Quan then asked, "Does Hua have a younger brother? Is he a good boy?"

Hua scoffed, "Isn't a six-year-old boy at the age when everyone hates him? He's ravaged our ninja dog by plucking its fur, and he doesn't know how to handle dogs with any force."

As she spoke of flowers, she thought of her younger brother, Kiba Inuzuka.

Because I love dogs so much, I don't know how to handle puppies properly when I hold them, and I even get bitten by a nursing puppy.

……

"Is Uchiha Kumo in there too?"

At that moment, a voice came from outside the curtain of the barbecue restaurant.

Yun poked her head out and waved to Itachi, who was asking the waiter questions: "Just got back from a mission? I'm here."

Upon seeing the cloud, Itachi thanked the waiter and then walked over with a little boy behind him.

"Yun, shall I bring Sasuke to join us at a table?"

Yun was taken aback by these words: "I'm having a dinner party with my students. Don't you dislike lively gatherings?"

Itachi scratched his head, looked at his younger brother, and replied, "Let Sasuke meet his seniors. This kid's been a bit..."

These words surprised Yun, who then looked at Erzhuzi behind him.

He didn't greet his own kinsman, his face was indifferent, as if he didn't want to talk to anyone.

Even Itachi back then, though aloof, was quite gentle. Of course, this excludes those who have since become mentally unstable.

"Let's sit down together and do some calculations. Sasuke will be going to the Ninja Academy next year, right?"

Pulling back the curtain, Itachi and Sasuke sat down next to Yun.

As soon as Itachi entered, the three members of Team 10 looked at him with surprise and delight.

"I was just guessing when I heard that familiar voice, and it really was Itachi!" Tokuma said with a smile.

Hana Inuzuka, who was standing next to Itachi, also looked at Itachi and said, "I never thought that two Uchiha from our class would become Jonin before the age of twelve. They really are a clan that produces geniuses."

Itachi looked at the two of them and smiled shyly: "You have officially become ninjas now. For you, becoming Jonin is only a matter of time."

As Itachi spoke, he looked at Izumi and asked, "I didn't expect Izumi to become Yun's student. I received the message beforehand, but Yun gave me a heads-up."

This refers to the time during the previous assessment mission, when Izumi used the Summoning Jutsu to send a message to Itachi via a ninja cat. However, it's clear that Yun had already guessed this.

Izumi smiled and nodded to indicate that she understood, then looked at Sasuke beside her and asked, "You only brought your younger brother out today, didn't Shinko come along?"

These words made Itachi a little embarrassed, while Sasuke's face seemed even colder.

"Kokoro... I had some things to take care of today. Sasuke wasn't in a good mood, so I was going to take him out to get something to eat, and that's when we ran into you guys."

As they were talking, Sasuke suddenly roared angrily, "I will not allow that woman to marry my brother!"

? ? ? ×4

At that shout, even Yun, who had just wrapped the pork tenderloin in vegetables, stopped what she was doing and stared blankly at the two brothers next to her.

As for Tokuma, Hana, and Izumi, they stared blankly at Itachi...

After a long pause, Tokuma asked incredulously, "Itachi... you're getting married? You're only twelve years old, just like us, right?"

Blushing, Itachi quickly explained, "Don't listen to Sasuke's nonsense! I'm not even an adult yet, how could I possibly get married so early?!"

Erzhuzi, standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore. He stood up and said to Itachi, "You two are planning to get married as soon as you come of age, right? Then my brother will have to move out, leaving only me and Mom, right?!"

"Don't lie to me!!"

With a roar, Erzhuzi, his eyes bloodshot, stared at Itachi: "I heard everything today, you agreed to her! Didn't you?"

These questions left Itachi speechless. However, the more Sasuke thought about it, the angrier he became, and he turned and rushed out.

Just as Itachi was about to rush out to give chase, Yun stopped him: "Don't panic, just send a shadow clone to follow."

As soon as he finished speaking, a shadow clone of a cloud followed him out.

Itachi sat down nervously.

Yun scratched her head. This scene looked exactly like a family drama from her memory. It was so melodramatic...

However, considering Fugaku's death, Sasuke must have become even more reliant on Itachi at this point.

Unlike the original story as remembered, Koko's appearance seems to fill some gaps, but at the same time, it also gives Sasuke, who is only six and a half years old, different ideas.

Is my brother going to be taken away?

Is that right?

One is obsessed with his brother, and the other with his younger brother. It seems that due to certain changes, the butterfly effect is getting bigger and bigger, especially for the two main characters.

"Where's Xinzi?"

"Because Sasuke was a bit upset, I had a shadow clone take her back."

Uh!

A straight-laced, brother-obsessed man deserves to be single forever.

Itachi thought for a moment and then replied, "I was having dinner with Kokoro earlier, and I was thinking of bringing Sasuke along because his emotions have seemed quite unstable lately. But I didn't expect..."

After speaking for a moment, Yun asked, "Children at this age are still in the selfish stage. They probably think that Xinzi is here to take you away from them."

Itachi gave a wry smile, then seemed to remember something. He looked at the other three and said in a low voice, "I've found some things about that name from almost a year ago... Could it be its influence?"

???

it?

These words reminded Yun that this was a piece of information he had traded to Itachi in exchange for Uzumaki Sora.

Indra's chakra was actually detected? Where was it detected?

Even on the stone tablet in that place, with the power of the kaleidoscope, there shouldn't be any record of Indra, right?

However, as the former patriarch's family, there might be some documents there.

"Let's talk about this separately later. It might not be a good thing for them to know some things."

……

Chapter 142: Approaching

"It's been a long time since I've been here. Compared to a few years ago, when Shisui was still a Jonin, you and I were just freshmen at the Ninja Academy."

As he spoke, Yun looked down at Konoha Village from the Hokage Rock. In the afternoon, a large number of Anbu had dealt with the explosive tags on the Hokage Rock.

After all, if such a large rock were to slide down, the resulting damage would be quite significant.

Meanwhile, the Fourth Hokage's direct subordinates were busy all over the village, and the Hyuga, Inuzuka, and Aburame clans, the three important families of the investigation team, were also involved.

However, since Yun, the discoverer, had mentioned having a dinner party, Minato didn't push the blame onto him again.
