Chapter 130 A trip to Konoha?
Chapter 130 A trip to Konoha?
There were all kinds of gossips about the Hokage in Konoha. When they saw Tsunade and Jiraiya returning to the village, many people in Konoha were talking about it. They felt that the rumor was more and more credible. It was the Third Hokage and his high-ranking officials who, together with Orochimaru, dug up the grave of the First Hokage. After the incident, Orochimaru took the blame and became a traitor, while the Third Hokage and Danzo, the masterminds, remained in their positions.
You said Orochimaru was forced to leave because he was doing human experiments?
Why did the three generations who personally tried to capture him let him escape?
If there hadn't been a private deal, would the young and strong Third Generation have been unable to catch Orochimaru?
"I heard... that Lord Danzo has been in contact with Orochimaru over the years!"
"No way?"
"You think that when people go missing from time to time, they are sent by Danzo to be Orochimaru's experimental subjects."
"hiss!"
Tsunade rushed directly into the Hokage's office, followed by Jiraiya who wanted to mediate the fight, and Kato Shizune who was holding a fat pig pitifully. The office was very lively, and Danzo and two advisors were also there.
"Tsunade...you're back." The Third Hokage greeted her indifferently. He knew that today's hurdle would not be easy.
"Princess Tsunade, please mind your manners." Danzo frowned and scolded. Even if she was the granddaughter of the first generation, she should not be so rude as to break into the Hokage's office.
"Politeness? So your politeness is digging up my grandfather's grave?" Tsunade was so angry that she smashed the Hokage's desk. She had been away from Konoha for so many years, and she didn't expect these old guys to become more and more shameless. "Did Orochimaru take the blame for you?"
"Yes, Teacher Sarutobi." Jiraiya was also concerned about this. Was Orochimaru taking the blame for his teacher?
Third generation: "..."
The day before yesterday, it was Danzo who took the blame for me.
Today is Orochimaru, right?
It seems like everyone is taking the blame for me?
Danzo's eyes flickered. He felt that the current public opinion environment was very good. As long as Sarutobi could no longer work, he could take the opportunity to rise to the top. Hiruzen could be held responsible for the things he had done. He had always been the one who took the blame.
The top brass was in a mess, and Sasuke returned to the Uchiha clan, this time to visit his family members' graves. He cleaned the clan members' graves alone with tools, placed the offerings, and stood there for a long time.
He recalled the past with Itachi again and again these days, and slowly the pain in his chest stopped. His feelings for Itachi could not erase Itachi's sins. As the last descendant of the Uchiha family, he had something he had to do.
We cannot ignore the blood shed by our people because of our own feelings.
As the young leader of the Uchiha clan, Itachi chose Konoha without distinguishing right from wrong. As his father's child and Itachi's younger brother, he had the responsibility to avenge his clan.
"Sister Mingluo has paved the way for me. Although... there are still many things I don't understand, I will make them pay the price. If the Uchiha are considered rebellious in this world, they deserve this fate. I will let them know... what it means to be a winner and a loser." After saying everything, Sasuke knelt down and kowtowed to his clansmen.
The Uchiha clan's territory is quite large. Mingluo wandered around in the small woods that no one had come to all year round. There were many mushrooms and wild vegetables. She happily carried a basket and picked them with Indra. They had been in Yokohama for so long that they couldn't make new mushroom sauce after they had finished eating it.
"Indra, we'll have fresh fish and mushroom noodles for breakfast. Go catch some fish." Mingluo looked at the sky. It had been half an hour since sunrise.
"Let's travel again." Indra told the kitten to catch fish while he went to prepare the dough.
When Sasuke came back, the three of them and the cat had a good meal. Sasuke followed them to pick mushrooms, clean them, and unknowingly expanded the scope, and they saw a stranger.
He was a boy with white eyes who was about the same age as Sasuke. He had a bandage on his forehead and his eyes were dull and confused. The moment he saw Sasuke, his eyes seemed to regain focus.
"Uchiha...Sasuke."
"Do you know him?" Ming Luo turned her head curiously. This person...could he be that guy?
"It looks like he's from the Hyuga family." Sasuke shook his head slightly. He had never seen this person before.
"Is the Byakugan's surname now Hinata?" This was also Indra's first time to see the Byakugan in the later generations. He took two steps closer and saw the boy with bandages and scarred hands. He squatted down and asked. "Does your hand... need treatment?"
“……” The boy with white eyes looked at Indra, stared at the pair of Sharingan, moved his lips, and stretched out his hand.
He came to the vicinity of the Uchiha clan because the clan was in chaos right now, especially the people from the main family. They already felt that everyone was looking down on them, and now seeing the Uchiha clan end up like this, they naturally would not sit idly by and wait for death.
"Aren't you going to take revenge on Konoha?" He wanted to destroy the main family all the time, but the mark on his forehead stopped him.
"What's your name, kid?"
"Ningji, Hyuga Neji."
"The revenge of the Uchiha should be handled by the Uchiha. If you had not taken action against the Uchiha, Sasuke would not have held it against you." Indra healed his hands and looked at the Byakugan with infinite fondness. These are his uncle's children.
"I'm not worried..." Neji turned his head away. He didn't care.
The boy was very handsome. Indra saw the bandage on his forehead and raised his hand to continue the treatment: "Is your forehead injured too?"
"No!" Neji took a step back in panic, hatred flashing in his eyes.
Neji saw three confused faces. The cat with the mandarin duck eyes tilted its head, as if its eyes were full of clarity and stupidity. He remembered the purpose of his visit, and with a trembling of his lips, he untied the bandage on his forehead. "This is a caged bird..."
This is the thing that the Hyuga main family uses to control the branch family. If it is engraved, it only takes a thought to kill the branch family.
Ningci knew that if he continued to stay in Konoha, there would be no change in the system of the main family ruling the branch family. The Hyuga family also had no one in Konoha's upper echelons, because the Hokage lineage would not trust the Hyuga family too much under this system.
After knowing that Sasuke had left Konoha with someone, he had this idea. He was only 9 years old, and he might not survive if he left Konoha, but if he followed a strong person, maybe he could fulfill his wish.
Look at how Konoha has become in just a few days because of the Uchiha incident? He believed that all this was due to the tricks of Sasuke, a member of the clan. Such a strong and intelligent person would probably... want to take advantage of his hatred for the Hyuga clan, right?
[I want to break free from the birdcage, and for this... I am willing to be a chess piece. ]
"Do you want to remove this mark?" Indra didn't think too much about it. He just felt that this family class was very cruel. He didn't expect his uncle's family to become like this.
"Yes." Neji clenched his fists, his eyes lighting up.
"Do you need to tell someone where you are going?"
"No thanks." I no longer have a father and a mother, so the rest of the people... don't matter.
Mingluo noticed Indra's gaze and knew that he was asking about her opinion. She couldn't help but smile slightly: "You came to me on your own, so I think you should think about it."
"Then follow me."
"Yes." Neji's eyes brightened, and then he noticed the Uchiha, staring at him with disgust.
Sasuke: Humph!
——From that day on, Hyuga Neji disappeared, and the Hyuga family blamed Danzo for it.
