This Uchiha is too cautious

As Konoha's forty-seventh year of winter slowly passed in the cold winter, and the snowflakes falling from the sky gradually disappeared, Konoha Village has ushered in its forty-eighth year.

Looking back on the entire forty-seven years of Konoha, it can be said that too many things happened in this year.

This is true whether it is for Konoha or the entire ninja world.

And during this year, perhaps the biggest beneficiary was actually Uchiha Kei, who was hiding in the shadow of Konoha.

In Konoha's forty-seventh year, when the war was at its peak, he not only acquired the Mangekyō Sharingan, but his strength was greatly improved in all aspects.

In addition, in the village, he made the destined Fourth Hokage think that his success was only achieved with the help of Uchiha Kei and others.

Within the clan, he has basically gained actual control over the security department, and he has also personally dealt with the hard-line elders.

It can be said that in this year, Uchiha Kei made a lot of money.

Their own strength and voice within the clan and village have been greatly improved.

Although this year, Uchiha Keiya has some collaborators that he doesn't like very much.

But so far, the performance of these collaborators is not too bad, and he can only accept it.

This year may have been very good for him except for Uchiha Kei's research journey, which was not going smoothly in all other aspects.

Of course, considering that the research at this time has just begun, all this is still acceptable to Uchiha Kei, and he still has a certain amount of time.

The Leaf Village elected the Fourth Hokage. Although they had always wanted to hide it temporarily, it was eventually leaked due to various reasons.

The top management of Konoha has already determined this matter, and they also know that most families may also know about it, so they decided not to hide it anymore.

This incident quickly spread throughout the ninja world, and other large villages reacted differently to this.

However, with this, I am afraid that except for the Iwa Ninja Village, the other villages have completely entered the era of the new generation of Kage.

It's not that Onoki of Iwa Ninja Village doesn't want to pass on the throne, but it's a pity that there is no candidate who satisfies him in the next generation.

There was originally an outstanding talent, that is, his son Huang Tu, and he decided to try to teach him how to escape after the war.

But unfortunately, his son's right hand was cut off in this battle, and his spirit was also hit by an incurable illusion. For this reason, he could only put aside these thoughts temporarily.

Coupled with the special nature of Chen Dun, although he is getting older, his combat effectiveness has not weakened much, and he has no intention of passing the throne in a short time.

…

Namikaze Minato was elected as the Fourth Hokage with the majority advantage and the support of his teachers.

The big snake who competed with him didn't want to say anything more. Perhaps he had already anticipated and prepared for this.

Moreover, for him, it was a joy to gain the position of Hokage, but losing it was not worth the sadness.

Anyway, he no longer has the idea of ​​fighting for Konoha for the rest of his life. He has his own new pursuits and new goals.

He would not give up his goal because of Konoha.

It was probably because of seeing through his character that Hiruzen Sarutobi preferred Namikaze Minato when choosing the Fourth Hokage.

Coupled with the intensifying disappearance crisis and the indifferent and disdainful attitude shown by Orochimaru, the Third Hokage was disappointed and made this final decision.

The spring of Konoha's forty-eighth year arrived silently, and everyone felt that this was a year worth remembering.

The Third Hokage, who should now be called the predecessor Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, personally held a grand spring festival, which was a perfect ending to his decades-long Hokage career.

At this point, he became the first Hokage to retire alive.

This situation makes the villagers think that Konoha Village has finally got out of the vicious circle of years of war.

Under the leadership of Namikaze Minato from now on, the village will definitely reach a higher level.

That night, Konoha Village was brightly lit and celebrated all night long.

Even Uchiha Kei, who had no interest in this Spring Festival festival, was invited out by Kenta Imai.

Of course, he did not forget to invite the woman Hinata Aya.

It can be said that this is indeed a memorable year for the three of them.

The war has shaped the three of them. Although the three of them have many conflicts and hatreds, they are already considered a cooperative relationship at this time.

Since it is a cooperative relationship, it is natural for them to get together. Probably Kenta Imai also wants to thank Keiichi Ichiha.

From a certain perspective, what Uchiha Kei did helped him and those behind him.

Hyuga Aya is not willing to be with those members of the clan, she would rather be with Uchiha Kei and Imai Kenta.

At least to a certain extent, they are considered 'equal people'.

Konoha is so noisy tonight, Konoha is so happy tonight, everyone seems to be immersed in a sea of ​​joy of exchanging the old for the new.

However, some people are happy while others are sad. In this atmosphere, there will always be some people who are unhappy.

On the towering Hokage Cliff, a figure appeared silently, and the blood-red three magatama under the whirlpool mask looked down coldly at the entire village.

"Minato-sensei!"

He whispered to himself, the laughter and laughter of the village in front of him seemed to be the most silent ridicule to him, and he always felt that there was a fire in his heart that could not be released.

"Hypocritical village, dark world, Teacher Minato, you became Hokage as you wished.

But this world is still twisted. I will prepare a big gift for you to become Hokage. I hope you can accept it completely when the time comes. "

Low words came out of his mouth, the remaining three magatama in his right eye slowly rotated, and his figure disappeared in the ripples of space.

Fireworks burst into brilliant colors in the sky, and the village celebrated the arrival of the new year and the birth of the new Hokage amidst deafening celebrations.

Kakashi stood in the village cemetery and slowly put down the white lily in his hand. At this time, there was no one else in the cemetery except him.

Looking up, the sky is full of brilliant fireworks; looking down, there is a silent and cold cemetery.

"Obito, Rin, yesterday Minato-sensei was elected Hokage. This year is the 48th Spring Festival Night Festival. I wish you a happy new year."

Kakashi whispered, with a bit of sadness in his tone, telling his friend what happened recently.

His voice was calm, as if he was talking to an old friend for many years.

The content of the conversation was also very casual, from Namikaze Minato's succession as Hokage to his relationship with Uchiha Kei.

Then there was a lost cat in the house of someone I knew before, which included everything that happened in Konoha Village.

He spoke very slowly and in great detail, as if there were really two people sitting in front of him listening to what he was saying.

The slow conversation lasted for about an hour, until the sound of fireworks in the distance faded, and he got up and left.

"Obito, Lin, take care of yourself. I told you this last time, but I'm worried that you will forget.

I have entered the ANBU, and Minato-sensei is now the Fourth Hokage, and I am directly under his leadership.

This proposal was made by Qi, who hoped that I could smooth out the scars in my heart in this way.

But he didn't know that I was actually thinking that if I unfortunately died, I could go to you, which would not be bad.

I hope he doesn’t know these things.”

…

Shortly after Kakashi left, another figure shrouded in black robes appeared, silently looking at the tombstone in front of him.

On the tombstone is a familiar photo from the past, in which the woman's cheerful smile appears, just like before.

There was actually no body in the tomb. When Kakashi woke up that day, he saw a blazing fire.

Knowing Uchiha Kei's daily practices, he thought it was Uchiha Kei who burned Nohara Rin's body.

Of course, it could also be that the spread of the battle caused the body to be set on fire.

Therefore, what is in this cemetery are only some clothes and daily utensils that Lin wore in the past, which is often called a tomb.

Next to Lin's grave is Obito's own grave.

There was a bouquet of white lilies placed in front of both graveyards, which Kakashi had just put down when he arrived.

Obito Uchiha watched all this quietly through his mask, and suddenly grabbed the lilies in front of Lin's grave and scattered them with his hands, remaining silent during this period.

Then, he took out a copy of the same white lily from his arms and placed it in front of Lin's grave, but no matter what, he didn't say a word.

The night falls and time passes by. New Year's Eve nights are always extremely cold, not to mention that the temperature is even lower in the cemetery.

The cold wind rustled his robes. In front of Lin, Obito had been standing for several hours and still hadn't said a word.

Maybe...he himself didn't know what to say at this time.

It wasn't until the sky turned faintly white that Obito sighed softly, and his figure gradually disappeared in the ripples of space.

"Lin, wait for me..." A vague sentence seemed to come out.

…

In an underground cave somewhere in the Land of Fire, the space rippled slightly, and Obito Uchiha's figure emerged.

"White Zetsu." As soon as he appeared, he shouted. From the ground, White Zetsu's body jumped out and said: "Obito, you are back, how is the situation?"

Uchiha Obito nodded, and then said calmly: "Minato Namikaze took over as the Fourth Hokage, and the Leaf Village is singing and dancing. There is nothing to say."

Then he found a place to sit down and changed the topic: "By the way, is there any information about the Kyuubi? I need all the jinchūriki, strength, and other related aspects."

"You don't need to guess who the Jinchuuriki is. It's your former teacher's wife, Uzumaki Kushina." Bai Zetsu answered quickly, and then asked in surprise: "Obito, what do you mean?"

"Humph, of course we have started to implement the plan. Nagato has joined us, and the heretic demon has also been channeled.

Most of the conditions have been gathered, so let’s start with the strongest Kyuubi. Isn’t it great!

I will investigate carefully, but I want to see how to get this beast to come out and exercise. "

As he spoke, his blood-red eyes looked back at Bai Jue.

The three magatama appear strange and ghostly, as cold as ice that cannot be dissolved.
