From the things he planned in his later years, it can be seen that he no longer has much attachment to the Uchiha clan.

After all, Kagura doesn't believe that such a shrewd person would not know how much damage his series of actions will cause to the Uchiha clan living in Konoha.

You must know that the Nine-Tails incident was the main cause of the Uchiha Rebellion.

As for the Three-Tail incident this time, if Kagura hadn’t existed.

If the Konoha high-ups later learned that Uchiha Madara had appeared, it is easy to imagine what kind of treatment the Uchiha clan would face.

The scene suddenly fell into silence. The tribesman pondered for a long time before turning back to look at Kagura and saying:

"I know very well that you, as a child, don't seem to like getting close to the Uchiha clan since you were a child."

Hearing this, Kagura was a little surprised, but her expression didn't change much.

After all, he knew very well that he had never concealed his aversion to Uchiha, and as the clan leader, it was natural that he could not be unaware of it.

Seeing his expression, the clan leader continued without any reaction:

“I don’t want to force you to do anything for your people, and of course you have no obligation to do so.

After your parents died, everything you have is earned through your own efforts.

Knowing this, after you were promoted to Chunin this time, I rejected the clan's proposal to transfer you to the Konoha Police Force. I knew very well that you didn't want to join there either.

But even so, I still hope that in your future life, if you see people in your tribe in danger, you can try your best to help them."

At this point, he shook his head, then turned away again and stopped looking at Kagura, only to finally order her to leave:

"Okay, let's go."

Hearing these words, Kagura was also a little stunned.

Before coming here, he had thought that he might face oppression or demands from certain people in the tribe.

After all, a 12-year-old Uchiha genius who can break Uchiha Madara's illusion seems to have some obligation to do something for the clan.

But he didn't expect that the old patriarch called him over just to ask him to recount the incident, and then warned him and let him leave?

Although she was still somewhat confused, Kagura said no more.

He bowed to the elderly patriarch in front of him, then turned and left.

Just after Kagura left, the clan leader looked at the statue and it remained motionless for a long time.

After thinking for a long time, he sighed and said to himself:

"Uchiha Madara, Uchiha Kagura...

The wheel of fate turns again.

Where will the future of Uchiha go?"

Chapter 79 S-level mission

Kagura walked out of the shrine, looked back at the magnificent building, then raised his head to look at the bright moon in the night sky, and sighed slightly.

In the end, he was unable to hear from the clan leader the thing he wanted to know most, which was the matter of Uchiha Jing.

You know, Uchiha Madara has openly broken with the entire family, and it can even be said that he has been abandoned by the family.

Therefore, what he did in the Land of Water could only be considered as personal behavior at most and could not involve the Uchiha clan.

But Uchiha Shizuka is different.

Although he did not know that member of the tribe, he did some research after waking up and found that he was indeed a member of the Uchiha tribe living in Konoha.

She was a Genin who had just graduated last year. Even her team leader didn't know when she went to the Land of Water to take part in the Chunin Exam.

Although through the testimonies of Tsunade and others who had fought with Uchiha, Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen should be able to guess that Uchiha Shizuka should be controlled by some kind of creature.

However, even if this explanation could convince Konoha's top leaders, it would not easily gain the trust of the other two countries.

It can be said that if not handled properly, Uchiha Shizuka might become a new cause of turmoil in the Uchiha clan.

After all, as members of the same clan, it is natural to speculate that they are secretly colluding with Uchiha Madara.

This is also why some clan members suggested that Kagura join the Konoha Guard.

After all, as a major contributor to this incident, Kagura's joining can alleviate the suspicion of Konoha's high-level officials and the outside world towards Uchiha to a certain extent.

But it was obvious that Kagura had no interest in this kind of security job.

Looking back worriedly, Kagura finally went straight back home.

On the second day, Kagura, who had just gotten up, received a notice to go to the Hokage Building to meet Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Kagura, who had anticipated this, leisurely enjoyed her breakfast at home before leisurely walking out of the house.

In the Hokage's office, looking at his favorite disciple in front of him, a complicated look flashed in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes.

Speaking objectively, if it weren't for Kagura's existence, this incident would probably have developed in the worst direction.

But it was precisely because of the tremendous abilities that Kagura displayed this time that he attracted the attention of Konoha's top leaders.

After all, it is difficult to ignore the existence of a young man who can break Uchiha Madara's illusion.

Especially Danzo.

I don’t know if it was because Kagura’s performance stimulated him, making him seem to sense traces of some past events.

Since they returned to the village, Danzo had been strongly suggesting that Kagura be subjected to the highest level of scrutiny.

If it weren't for Sarutobi Hiruzen's obstruction, perhaps Kagura would have found herself in Konoha Prison instead of the hospital when she woke up.

As for Sarutobi Hiruzen, he did not blindly trust his disciples.

In fact, he trusted his understanding of these disciples more.

He knew very well that Kagura was not a bad person, but he was definitely not a good person in the traditional sense either.

Such a person would never put himself in danger because of someone's plan.

Based on this alone, he could be sure that there was no relationship between Kagura and Madara.

Looking at Kagura's leisurely demeanor, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart.

You little bastard, do you know how much I have wasted on your old man these days? How come you seem completely unaffected?

Kagura keenly sensed the teacher's unfriendly gaze and immediately changed her stance, looking like a good boy.

Of course, Kagura was not the only one summoned. All four members of Team 7 were standing in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Looking at Kagura who stood up straight again, and then looking at the other three people, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

He first congratulated everyone:

"Congratulations on becoming a Chunin.

Although for some reasons, your promotion speed is not very fast.

But it is the first time in Konoha's history that all the members of the same class are promoted at the same time in the Chunin Exam."

Haha, your village has only been established for more than 20 years, what history are you talking about?

Listening to Sarutobi's praise, Kagura below complained with disdain in her heart.

Fortunately, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not have the ability to read minds, otherwise he would have been angered to death by Kagura sooner or later.

After the greetings, Sarutobi Hiruzen also started talking about business with everyone.

He took out a scroll from under the table, handed it to Kagura and said:

“This is an S-rank mission, but I don’t force you to accept it.

I hope you guys can decide for yourself whether to accept this mission or not."

Hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's strange words, Kagura looked at the mission scroll in confusion.

But when he saw the client's name, his eyes narrowed.

Because the client of this mission was none other than the Uchiha clan leader whom he had just met last night.

He quickly looked at the mission content, which clearly stated: Rescue Uchiha Shizuka and bring him back to Konoha safely.

At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen beside him also explained for him:

"According to reliable intelligence, after escaping from the Water Country.

Uchiha Shizuka and Kakuzu, who was suspected to be a fugitive ninja from Takigakure Village, appeared together at the border of Takikuniku.

We have reason to believe that the next destination of those two people is Takigakure Village."

After looking at Kagura's expression, he continued:

“Although we didn’t see Uchiha Madara with them, this mission is definitely dangerous even for an S-rank escapee like Kakuzu.

Originally, in my opinion, this mission should be carried out directly by the senior ninja.

But because of the client's request, he hopes that I can first ask you if you are willing to accept it."

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen was talking about you, Kagura knew very well that he was actually talking about herself.

At this moment, Kagura suddenly recalled what the old man said in the shrine last night.

"I still hope that in your future life, if you see your people in danger, you can try your best to help them."

At this moment, he finally understood the meaning of this sentence.

Facing Sarutobi Hiruzen's gaze, Kagura did not give an immediate response.

He looked up and asked another question:

"Sarutobi-sensei, I want to ask, now that we have become Chunin, can we no longer go out on missions together as Team 7?"

Hearing his question, Tsunade, Jiraiya and Orochimaru were slightly stunned, and then their faces became disappointed.

Sarutobi Hiruzen chuckled and then replied:

"That's natural.

Now that you have become Chunin, you will also be responsible for leading the team in the future.

However, if the village encounters an A-level or S-level mission, you will still be asked to form a team to carry it out."

After hearing this, Tsunade and the others seemed to understand something and looked at Kagura expectantly.
