"Hahaha~"

Hearty laughter suddenly came from an ancient courtyard.

The exterior wall of the yard is covered with green moss, and there are cracks carved by time on the wall. The edges of the blue bricks used to build the wall seem to have melted under the erosion of rain and snow.

However, the courtyard separated by the wall did not appear dilapidated.

The ancient courtyard layout has witnessed the traces of time. On the clean ground, the road paved with bluestones extends to the deep courtyard, which looks particularly elegant.

In the center of the courtyard, there is a simple stone table.

A middle-aged man with black hair laid a blanket on the table and then put the blond baby in his arms on it.

He stared at the little baby with six beards for a while. The middle-aged man crossed his arms and suddenly laughed.

"Little guy, do you want to eat the meatballs made by grandpa?!"

"Ah~ah~"

A few-month-old baby cannot speak yet. He just sees a big face approaching him and subconsciously reaches out to grab that face.

next moment.

The middle-aged man looked up and looked around, then appeared on the wall in a flash, picked up a handful of snow, and returned to the baby again.

"Meatballs! Meatballs!"

After rubbing his hands together a few times, a snowball the size of a thumb appeared in the middle-aged man's hand.

After staring at the ball made of snow for a while, he took out a bag from his pocket, threw the ball into the bag and rolled it around. When he took out the ball, he saw that the whole ball was covered with of white powder.

"Um!"

The middle-aged man nodded with satisfaction, and then made an "ah~" gesture towards the baby.

Then, the baby also opened its mouth.

"Grandpa!"

As a female voice came from outside the hospital, Senju Hashirama quickly put the snowball in his hand into the baby's mouth, and then made a silent gesture.

Seeing the baby's eyes narrowed in happiness, Hashirama's eyes showed nostalgia.

"During the Warring States Period, my brothers' favorite thing to eat in winter was snowballs mixed with a little sugar. It was quite sweet."

When Tsunade came to the yard, she found her grandfather standing in the yard holding a baby.

"Grandpa!"

Arriving in front of Hashirama, Tsunade looked at the chubby child and couldn't help but poke him in the face a few times.

But the next moment, the way she looked at Senju Hashirama suddenly became a little strange.

"Grandpa, did you feed him something?"

"No no!"

Senju Hashirama shook his head vigorously and denied it directly without thinking, "I didn't feed him anything. His face is so cold, he must be frozen."

Seeing the guilty look on the grandfather's face, Tsunade curled her lips, then her eyes fell on the blond child again, and said, "Mikoto has been going to places like orphanages recently, intentionally or unintentionally, and it seems like she is looking for someone.

And she also asked me about the son of the Fourth Hokage.

Grandpa, do you think Uchiha is planning something again? "

"Uchiha!!"

Senju Hashirama turned around and looked in the direction of the Uchiha clan with a complicated expression.

After this period of investigation, he also completely understood Uchiha's situation in Konoha.

Generally speaking, what it was like during the Warring States Period is still what it is now.

He has been integrated with the village for nearly fifty years, but not a single ally has integrated with him. This is equivalent to someone and dozens of people living in a big family for more than fifty years. In the beginning, someone played alone , fifty years later he is still playing alone.

"well!"

Hashirama rubbed his head with a headache.

"Ah~ah~ah~"

Looking at the baby who kept pulling the grandfather's hair, Tsunade was silent for a while, then reached out to hug him, and continued, "Those old men in Danzo are worried about Uchiha because of the Kyuubi matter.

Before they could find out who controlled the Nine-Tails, they refused to let anyone from the Uchiha clan, including the ninja cats, come into contact with the Jinchuriki. Konoha could no longer bear disasters like the Nine-Tails.

Moreover, they had already issued a hush-hush order to the ninjas who participated in the Nine-Tails Rebellion that night. They were not allowed to discuss what happened that night. They would wait until the person behind the control of the Nine-Tails came to light. "

After hearing these words, Senju Hashirama couldn't help but feel a little silent. He now wanted to say that the Nine-Tails incident most likely had nothing to do with the Uchiha clan in Konoha.

It can be seen from the behavior of the Uchiha elders who hurriedly resurrected themselves shortly after the disaster that they really didn't know what to do and had already placed their trust in resolving the conflict between the family and the village. .

The most important thing is that on the night of the Nine-Tails, Madara appeared

Originally, Madara could have beaten the Kyuubi to the center of the village and left it alone, but according to the ninjas who participated in the battle that day, the blue giant was fighting the Kyuubi until it disappeared.

"Madara!!"

Hashirama looked up to the sky, a hint of darkness flashed in his eyes.

He wanted to believe that Madara still had feelings for the village, and Uchiha also had feelings for the village.

at the same time.

Inside Konoha Village.

Mikoto, who came out of the orphanage again, rubbed her eyebrows with a trace of sadness in her eyes.

She promised Kushina that she would help her take care of the child temporarily.

But now.

She found that things were a little different from what she had imagined.

Not only have there been no rumors of fourth-generation orphans in the entire village, they have even received a large number of orphans of all kinds during this period.

From infants to children aged three or four, they are all within the acceptance range of the village.

"Kushina's child."

Thinking of how she had asked Tsunade about this matter several times recently, but Tsunade remained silent, the anxiety in Mikoto's eyes became even stronger.

The child must still be alive. It must be that he is not allowed to come into contact with it for some unknown reason, right?

Thinking of this, she poked Sasuke in her arms and whispered.

"I also planned to let you and Kushina's child become good friends, but the mother still can't find where her child is. It must have been secretly adopted by the village."

She could only guess now that maybe it was because the village leaders did not want the child to live as the [Son of the Fourth Hokage].

Because during the Third Ninja War, Minato's performance was too outstanding and he made many enemies during the war. If he knew that the child was the fourth generation's son, the enemies would probably come to kill him for revenge.

Let that child grow up safely?

The son of the White Fang is fine, the son of the third generation son is fine, the first generation and the Uchiha clan members are fine, but a fourth generation son is not okay?

If you can't protect the children in the village, why is there any need for the village to exist?

After denying her conjecture, Mikoto shook her head helplessly and whispered, "I still can't find a convincing reason. It should be for other reasons."

"Mikoto-sama!"

A familiar voice brought her back from her memories.

Following the sound, Uchiha Mikoto raised her head and looked forward, her face instantly darkened, and she said coldly.

"Asuka Jonin!"

Glancing at her cold eyes, Asuka's cheeks twitched slightly, then he looked at the special courtyard behind him and asked, "Mikoto-sama, did you just come out of the orphanage?"

She hummed lightly, then came to Asuka and winked at the cat squatting above him.

next moment.

Asuka felt a light on his head.

When he looked back, he saw that Fei Fei had jumped onto Uchiha Mikoto's shoulders, and the two of them turned their backs to him and walked toward the way they came.

"well!"

Hearing the sigh of Asuka behind her, Uchiha Mikoto slowly narrowed her eyes.

She didn't enjoy talking to that guy at all.

Guiding his own son, he encouraged Fugaku to get divorced, secretly formed a gang to encourage Fugaku to get married, and wanted to become a single mother.

How could there be such a bad person in the Uchiha family?

"Mikoto!"

The orange cat's soft and cute voice suddenly turned into a royal voice. It subconsciously stretched out its tongue and licked its paws, then its body stiffened and it kept repeating the three words "I am a human" in its heart.

After a long while, "Fei Fei" asked again.

"Still not found?"

Um!

Mikoto nodded with a heavy face and whispered, "After the information you provided, I searched all the blond babies in Konoha but couldn't find them. Now I suspect that the child may have been secretly protected by the village for some reason. , therefore did not appear in the village"

Hearing this, Orange Cat's face showed a hint of human sadness.

After Fei Fei searched for Naruto for many days but failed to find him, Kushina had a vague suspicion in her heart.

Compared to Mikoto, she knew how important Naruto was to the village.

If it is revealed that an infant holds Konoha's most powerful "weapon", it will expose Konoha's weakest side to all the ninja villages in the ninja world.

It can be said that no matter which of Naruto's two identities is exposed, it will be very dangerous for Naruto. Rather than doing this, it is better to let Naruto grow up naturally as an ordinary child.

"unless."

Thinking of her body lying in the secret room, Kushina's dim eyes flashed with light.

If he was resurrected as soon as possible, would he be able to see Naruto earlier?

"Why are you looking at me like that all of a sudden?"

Feeling a little uncomfortable being stared at by the orange cat, Uchiha Mikoto shuddered and said in confusion.

"nothing!"

After continuing to stare at Mikoto for a while, the orange cat shook his head and said enthusiastically, "Mikoto, let's go shopping."

"Okay, two new clothing stores happened to be opened recently.

By the way, why did Asuka Uchiha come to the orphanage? "

"We were working in the medical department just now.

It's lunch time, but because there are too many patients, the medical ninjas still can't leave.

Pharmacist Nonoyu realized that she might not be able to go back and cook for her children, so she praised the deputy minister for a while and wanted her children to come to the medical department to have a meal.

Later, the deputy minister may have been a little flattered by the praise. He waved his hand and said that the food in the medical department was too bad and asked Feiniao to send some fried chicken to improve the food for the children. He would pay for it."

"That old man still likes to hear people praise him so much."

"No.

With the same compliment, he felt that Uchiha Asuka was yin and yang to him, and I suspected that the old man might only like women to praise him. "
