Early in the morning.

The Third Hokage was having breakfast at home, but his mood was not as relaxed as his expression.

Firstly, he couldn't see clearly the situation in the ninja world this year. Secondly, last night, the Anbu responsible for monitoring Naruto sent news that Uchiha Jiyue had once again taken the initiative to contact the Jinchuuriki.

"What exactly does this kid Jiyue want to do?"

The Third Hokage felt inexplicably uneasy.

You must know that the combination of Sharingan and Nine-Tails brought a huge crisis to Konoha a few years ago!

If Uchiha Jiyue had ulterior motives, copied his homework, copied it, and recreated the Nine-Tails Rebellion, this time, there would be no Minato to stop him!

Moreover, at his age, his health is undoubtedly declining, and his strength is no longer what it used to be!

If Kyuubi is really...

If it really didn't work, he could only find a way to get rid of Uchiha Jiyue, even though this chess piece was very useful.

Just as he was thinking about it, the Third Hokage suddenly heard the voice of his second son Asuma coming from the yard:

"Father, Jiyue is here!"

Why is he here?

Putting down his chopsticks, leaving the table, and coming to the courtyard with his daughter-in-law, the Third Hokage looked at the boy who was brought to them by Asuma, and said with a smile: "Jiyue, have you had breakfast? Otherwise, in my place

Want something to eat?”

"No need, Hokage-sama! I've eaten!"

Uchiha Jiyue smiled and shook his head, and then asked: "Is Shinnosuke-senpai here? I'm here to help him review."

Hearing his eldest son's name, the Third Hokage's face softened a lot, "Here, Asuma, take Jiyue with you!"

"Okay, Father."

Asuma had no objection and took Uchiha Jiyue to his eldest brother's room.

when they entered.

Shinnosuke is still sleeping in bed.

However, compared to last time, there was no alcohol smell in the room, and there were no messy things like beer bottles in the surrounding furnishings and on the ground.

Looking at Shinnosuke's rosy face, Uchiha Jiyue immediately understood that this man had completely cheered up, and he couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

He is worthy of being regarded as the right-hand man by the Third Hokage!

This mentality adjustment is really fast!

After Asuma woke up Shinnosuke, he exchanged greetings with Shinnosuke and then helped him check his physical condition.

“Recovering well!”

Ten minutes later, Uchiha Jiyue said to Shinnosuke with a smile.

"Really?" A rare smile appeared on Shinnosuke's bitter face, "Then, when can the little miracle doctor help me repair my arm?"

Uchiha Jiyue thought for a while and replied: "I will try to advance the time as much as possible, but have you been practicing thinking recently?"

Shinnosuke nodded: "Of course, although it was troublesome at first, I gradually found the trick and persisted every day."

"That's good!"

Uchiha Jiyue finished speaking with a smile and chatted with Shinnosuke for a while. Then, he was about to leave, but just as he expected before coming, the Third Hokage actually stopped him.

After a brief greeting.

The Third Hokage did not test anything out of Uchiha Jiyue's mouth. He was hesitating in his heart whether to ask why he wanted to contact Naruto when he suddenly heard the boy in front of him ask:

"Oh, by the way, Hokage-sama, there is something...I have always wanted to ask you."

"What?"

The Third Hokage was a little curious.

Uchiha Jiyue replied: "Lord Hokage, what happened to Naruto's child? Why do the villagers hate him so much... Even if his parents made any mistakes, they should not harm the child. Let Naruto come.

Accept it?"

"this……"

The Third Hokage was obviously stunned for a moment, so that his expression did not stop. A trace of guilt and embarrassment suddenly appeared on his wrinkled face, but it was quickly covered up by his hypocritical smile.

"Well...how should I say it!"

"In fact, Naruto's situation is very special. Putting him in his current state... is to protect him..."

You call this protecting Naruto?

Do you really think we are fools?

Uchiha Jiyue felt a sense of contempt.

However, he did not come today to quarrel with the Third Hokage.

Removing potential trust crises is the top priority.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Jiyue deliberately put on an expression that he couldn't stand, and said: "You are Hokage, you must have your own considerations in doing things, but next time, if I meet you again,

If others bully Naruto, I will still stand up for him!"

"well……"

The Third Hokage sighed helplessly, not knowing what he was thinking, and pursed his lips without speaking.

Seeing this, Uchiha Jiyue breathed a sigh of relief, changed the subject and said, "Lord Hokage, I have one more thing to ask of you..."

"Tell me..."

He took out the pipe from his arms, lit it, and put it on his mouth. The Third Hokage took a deep puff and signaled Uchiha Jiyue to speak quickly if he had anything to say.

Uchiha Jiyue did not hesitate and said: "I don't think it is safe for Sasuke to live alone. I think I might as well let him move to my house..."

This unsafe word made the Third Hokage frown. However, compared to Naruto's importance to Konoha, Sasuke seemed dispensable, so it didn't matter whether he refused or agreed.

Thinking of this, the Third Hokage put down his pipe, blew out a smoke ring, and said to Uchiha Jiyue: "It's up to you!"

"I see……"

"Hokage-sama, I'll leave first!"

Uchiha Jiyue was secretly happy, and after bidding farewell to the Third Hokage and Asuma, he left the Sarutobi clan.

However, although he has obtained custody of Sasuke, he does not plan to take Sasuke home now.

"Whether it can change Sasuke's outlook on things and make him still full of murderous intentions towards Itachi even after knowing the truth about the night of genocide depends on the follow-up operations... There is no rush!"

Sighing, Uchiha Jiyue quickened his pace and arrived at Granny Neko's ninja shop in the underground area.

However, Grandma Cat is not here today, which is very rare. When he was packing up the toy and medicine, the clerk Sizhaohua hesitated and said with a complicated expression:

"There is something, although my mother-in-law has not allowed me to tell you, but I think you have the right to know the truth..."

"What?"

Hearing this, Uchiha Jiyue, who had just put all the medicine into the ninja bag, frowned immediately, raised his head, and looked at Shiteruka.

Under his gaze, the young girl at the door, wearing an apricot knee-length coat, lowered her head and said: "Your father seemed to have anticipated the outcome of the Uchiha clan. On the eve of the night of annihilation, he gave away half of the family wealth.

and a safe, which were handed over to my mother-in-law for care..."

"I happened to be there that day and heard their conversation... Jiyue, you are not..."

Just as she was talking, Granny Cat suddenly walked in from outside. She coughed heavily and ignored Shi Zhaohua who was startled by her. She walked to sit on the cushions and sighed, looking at Uchiha Jiyue.

Said: "Alas... Jiyue, there are some things that I don't tell you for your own good..."

When it came to his family, Uchiha Jiyue couldn't calm down at all. With strong curiosity, he frowned and said: "But..."

"Jiyue, I understand how you feel..."

Seeing the stubbornness in the boy's eyes, Granny Cat didn't give him a chance to continue. However, she tenderly made a promise: "Let's do this. When you have eyes like Qing's, I will tell you the truth. Okay.

?"

The same eyes as my father?

Hearing this, Uchiha Jiyue didn't even think about it, and decisively opened the three magatama sharingan eyes. However, unexpectedly, the cat lady sitting on the cushion just smiled happily after seeing his eyes.

Laughing, not talking about the truth:

"Jiyue, you are indeed excellent, but eyes like these are not enough..."

"Not enough? Could it be that my father..."

Thinking of some possibility, Uchiha Jiyue was completely stunned.

As if she guessed what he was thinking, Granny Cat nodded and sighed: "I didn't expect that you also know the existence of the Mangekyo Sharingan... In this way, there are some things that I don't have to keep hiding from you... Jiyue, your father,

In fact, it was one of the very few talents in the clan who inherited the will of fire. After Kagami's death, he accidentally opened the Mangekyō Sharingan..."

"As for more details, your father had an explanation before his death. I really can't tell you now..."

Uchiha Jiyue stuffed the remaining ninja tools into the ninja tool bag, stood up, stared into Granny Cat's shrewd eyes, and said: "Grandma, as long as I open the Mangekyo Sharingan, you will tell me everything.

,Is it right?"

"Yes!"

Grandma Cat's expression became unusually serious.

"I see!"

Uchiha Jiyue took a deep breath, turned around and left here.

"I didn't expect that my father also possesses the Mangekyou Sharingan. However, since he has such power, why not use it to save the family?" Walking in the empty and deep tunnel of the empty zone, Uchiha Jiyue thought more and more.

Surprised, uncomfortable.

Because in his impression, his father is not the kind of person who is irresponsible.

But the more he thought about it, the less he could understand his father's behavior.

But at the same time, he couldn't help but excuse his father in his heart: He was just a retired ninja who had lost his legs. What was wrong with not participating in the struggle between his family and the village?

What's more, the person who carried out the mission of exterminating the clan was the young clan leader Uchiha Itachi, who was highly respected by the clan.

He didn't react, which was normal.

But……

My father left the property and safe with Granny Cat, and he made it clear that he knew about it!

This man, what does he know?

Moreover, despite knowing the situation, he still chose to sit on the sidelines, remain indifferent and let his family perish!

This confused Uchiha Jiyue.

In fact, he couldn't find any other reason to defend his father except for comforting himself with the only doubt that "his father, like his clan members, also died at the hands of Itachi".

At this moment, doubt is like a seed, taking root and sprouting in Uchiha Jiyue's heart!

And his father's inaction was like a poisonous snake wrapping around his neck, strangling him until he couldn't breathe!

After returning to the ground.

It's almost noon.

Considering that he would leave Konoha with Yamafuze and Aburame Takene in the afternoon and head to the Land of Snow, Uchiha Haoyue did not continue to struggle with his father's problem, but returned home and had a good sleep.

As the alarm rang, he woke up from his sleep, took a bath, put on his clothes and mask, and carried the little fox to the leather shop.

"Hey, Jiyue, why are you here?"

Deidara has been in Konoha for more than half a month, and recently he has a new inspiration. He plans to refer to the Hokage Rock to design a batch of clay shapes that can allow all Konoha ninjas to break through their defenses.

However, in front of the big brother Uchiha Jiyue, he did not dare to be presumptuous and hurriedly hid the newly made third-generation head centipede identity clay behind his back.

Uchiha Jiyue looked around for a few times and saw that Shuanghua and Snow Drops were not here. He wondered: "Why are you the only one, Shuang Hua and Snow Drops?"

"You're talking about them!" Seeing that Uchiha Jiyue didn't discover his little secret, Deidara secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Snowdrops asked him to go hunting in the Forest of Death this morning. Shuanghua couldn't resist him, so he accompanied him.

He went together..."

"I see……"

Uchiha Jiyue didn't know why, but he felt a little disappointed. Maybe it was because before, whenever he came to the leather shop, Shuanghua would come over to chat with him immediately!

After calming down, Uchiha Jiyue threw the little fox to Deidara and said, "Xiao Di, I may have to go out for a while. You and Shuanghua will help me take care of this little guy..."

"Ok, no problem!"

Deidara nodded happily.

He wished that Uchiha Jiyue would leave as soon as possible and continue playing with clay, so naturally he would not refuse.

However, when he reached out impatiently to hug the little fox, the clay centipede in his hand was suddenly exposed to Uchiha Jiyue's sight.

This is……

Looking at the clay model in Deidara's hand that had the Third Hokage's head embedded in a centipede, Uchiha Jiyue almost laughed out loud.

However, fortunately, he had received professional training and did not reveal his true thoughts in front of the boy.

It’s over!

Brother Jiyue saw it!

Seeing Uchiha Jiyue's gaze, Deidara felt that the clay model he was staring at was a bit hot.

However, when he came back to his senses, he found that Uchiha Jiyue had already left the leather shop. At the same time, a warning came from the door: "This will not happen again!"

Take supplement as an example?

Deidara held the little fox in his arms and pondered for a moment behind the counter, then suddenly showed an expression of realization.

understood!

I'll increase my efforts now!

After leaving the leather shop.

Uchiha Jiyue arrived at the gate of Konoha.

At around 4 o'clock, Shanfeng and Aburame Togen arrived one after another, but just as they were about to set off, Shin suddenly came to them.

"According to Danzo-sama's order, I am included in this mission!"

Uchiha Jiyue frowned when he heard this. Although he was very unwilling to admit defeat, he did not refuse.

"Since it is Danzo-sama's order, then you should follow it!"

"Yes, Captain!"

Xin nodded seriously.

Although he also knew that it would be redundant for him to rashly join Uchiha Jiyue and the others, he was not qualified to refuse the request made by a big shot like Terai.

In this way, a group of four people faced the setting sun in the afternoon, left the Leaf Village, and rushed towards the Snow Country.
