"All we can do now is gather intelligence."
Let's split up; that will be more efficient.
He looked up at the blazing sun overhead before continuing:
"We'll meet at the gate of Konoha Village half a day later, around sunset."
Seeing Hiashi nod, the two didn't hesitate and quickly walked out in two different directions.
With a heavy heart, Minato unknowingly arrived at the entrance of Kabukicho in Konoha Village.
The so-called Kabukicho district is a special street where brothels and entertainment venues are concentrated.
In this world, these places of entertainment are legal and compliant; almost every village has similar streets.
As for someone like Shuimen, he had naturally never been to such streets before.
So when he looked up and saw the street name, Minato frowned and prepared to leave.
However, just as he was about to take a step, two drunken figures suddenly bumped into him.
Before he could speak, the two men preemptively accused him, saying:
"belch...
How do you walk? Don't you wear glasses when you go out?
In broad daylight, they still managed to bump into us.
What an impolite child.
Minato, who had originally intended to leave, turned his head in dissatisfaction upon hearing this, as if to say something.
But when he saw the two people in front of him clearly, an expression of disbelief appeared on his face, and he said in shock:
"you...
hiss...
Lord Hiruzen Sarutobi!
Lord Mitokado Homura!
How come you are here? "
Yes, the two people who accidentally bumped into him were Hiruzen Sarutobi and Homura Mitokado.
Hearing Minato call their names with a touch of respect, the two drunkards sobered up a bit.
After a slight pause, Hiruzen Sarutobi grinned and said:
"Hehe, we came from Kabukicho, so what do you think we're doing here?"
Kid, do you want us to take you inside and show you around?
Upon hearing this, Minato's face contorted in a grimace, and he hurriedly said:
"But as the Hokage, how could you do such a thing?"
"what?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi barely opened his eyes and glanced at him with a strange look.
At this moment, Mitokado Homura spoke up:
"Kid, you don't look like you've been drinking."
Why are you talking nonsense in broad daylight?
"Don't you even remember who the current Hokage of Konoha is?"
As he spoke, he pointed his finger toward the area behind the water gate.
Minato followed his hand and looked behind him. When he saw the familiar Hokage wall, he revealed a truly remarkable expression.
Next to the portrait of the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, was carved a portrait of a man with neat sideburns, narrow eyes, and a forked scar on his chin.
At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi continued:
"The current Hokage of Konoha is Lord Danzo!"
Putting aside Minato's complex emotions at this moment, Hiashi Hyuga on the other side had already arrived in front of a mansion.
Looking at the familiar gate in front of him, Hiashi took a deep breath before slowly raising his hand and pushing the gate open.
This is Hiashi's original home, the residence of the Hyuga clan patriarch.
Since the goal is to find clues about this world, Hiashi decided after careful consideration to start with the place he is most familiar with.
He had just pushed open the door when he stood frozen in place as if struck by lightning.
At this moment, his father, wearing an extremely expensive-looking suit, was embracing his mother and dancing gracefully in the courtyard of the mansion.
From an appreciative perspective, their ballroom dancing was quite professional.
Even at the very end of the dance, the two embraced passionately and concluded with a romantic kiss.
Upon seeing this, Hiashi asked in a slightly trembling voice:
"What...what are you doing?"
Only after hearing his voice did his parents belatedly realize that Hiashi existed.
The two of them showed no embarrassment whatsoever, and simply stood up straight as usual.
The mother gave the father a reproachful look before turning to Hiashi and speaking gently:
"Ah, Hiashi, you're back?"
Is this the father I remember as being so rigid as to be almost abnormal?
Let alone suits, I've never seen my father wear anything other than kimonos and Jonin outfits in my entire life.
Could it be that I've entered the wrong residence?
Just as Hiashi opened his mouth as if to say something, a boy suddenly rushed out of the house.
The person who came was his younger brother, Hyuga Neji's father—Hyuga Hizashi.
Before Hiashi could react, Hizashi excitedly ran to his side, looking at his brother with a beaming expression and saying:
"elder brother!
You're back!
You promised me you'd train in Gentle Fist with me when you got back today, okay?
Looking at his younger brother's excited yet slightly admiring eyes, Hiashi fell silent.
The orange glow of the setting sun bathed Konoha Village, and at the village gate, two boys huddled together in a daze.
They stood there silently, as if they had received some great shock, without saying a word.
After a long while, Minato shook his head with a wry smile and said to Hiashi with some helplessness:
"Although I don't know what Madara Uchiha's intentions are."
but..."
He paused for a moment before speaking again:
"However, I'm sure this legendary figure definitely has some kind of perverse sense of humor."
This world is simply a crazy world.
Hiashi could only nod in agreement with Minato's conclusion.
Chapter 102 What a world to miss!
Ignoring Hiashi's reaction, Minato recalled his recent encounter and said incredulously:
You wouldn't believe what I saw this afternoon...
Lord Hiruzen Sarutobi was completely drunk.
Danzo, who became Hokage, taught children with a benevolent expression...
And then there's Lord Fugaku, who keeps shouting for the Uchiha to die and wants to leave the Uchiha clan...
Thinking of some of the scenes he had witnessed that afternoon, he couldn't help but shudder.
On the other side, Hiashi showed a look of deep agreement and nodded in approval.
He took a deep breath and said, with a mixture of shock and nostalgia:
"It's one thing for my parents' personalities to change drastically, but for my younger brother to admire me so much, giving me that kind of look..."
As he said this, a hint of struggle appeared on his face.
In the real world, ever since Hizashi was judged by his family to be a member of a separate family and was confined as a "caged bird,"
The relationship between the two brothers had already changed.
The brotherly bond they shared in their childhood was shattered beyond repair. Since that day, his younger brother's gaze towards him has been filled with indifference and a hint of resentment.
As a Japanese man, he deeply resented the family's system of separating the main family and branch families.
But as a member of the family, he simply couldn't resist.
Therefore, he could only bury his guilt deep in his heart regarding his younger brother's changes.
Seeing his younger brother's familiar gaze again today, Hiashi had to admit that a certain string in his heart had been plucked at that moment.
only...
He quickly composed himself and looked at Minato seriously, saying:
"I have a general grasp of the laws governing this world."
The people in this world seem to have personalities that are completely opposite to those in the real world.
Minato nodded in agreement and added:
"Indeed, I've noticed that too."
But there is one crucial question among them.
