Naruto: Who made him a ninja

Chapter 141 The Power of Space, Memories of Light (10,000 words, please subscribe)

After fooling Sasuke, Hidezawa's life became peaceful.

However, his calmness seemed somewhat out of place compared to the current turbulent ninja world.

The sudden surge of chakra in the Land of Grass was an event that could not be kept secret from the ninja world.

In particular, many people have noticed that people from Kumogakure, Sunagakure, and Iwagakure are heading towards the Land of Grass.

Furthermore, the Fourth Raikage and Onoki also appeared among them!

When Konoha quietly removed Danzo's bounty, many people immediately realized something.

"Shimura Danzo has probably already been killed, and it was done by various Kage leading teams?!"

Danzo Shimura is currently the "top figure in the ninja world," and the things he revealed have left all the ninjas who are just watching the drama unfold speechless.

Such a meticulous and ruthless individual, who was also a former high-ranking member of Konoha, must have an immense amount of intelligence in his mind.

"No wonder there was such a powerful chakra burst; it turns out the Kage himself came out. But this guy is definitely worth it."

But soon, just as everyone was wondering who had obtained Danzo's head, or if everyone had made a mistake.

Another shocking piece of news has broken in various villages!

"The ninjas who were dispatched have not returned to the village, and even the Kage have been missing for a long time."

This news caused an uproar throughout the entire ninja world almost immediately!

Not every village leader can be called "Kage." There are only five ninja villages in the entire ninja world that can call their leaders "Kage."

As for the rest, they're just rotten fish and shrimp!

Don't let Sunagakure's poverty fool you; if they were to actually attack a small ninja village, they could show you what cruelty truly means in a heartbeat.

Even some leaders of small ninja villages presumptuously call themselves "Kage," such as the leader of the Star Ninja Village in the Land of Bears, who dares to call himself "Star Shadow."

In reality, no one in the ninja world pays any attention to them; no matter how much they jump around, it's useless.

The main reason no one bothers to deal with them is that their place is too poor!

The area is remote and inhospitable, with miasma permeating the air.

Both Iwagakure and Sunagakure have probably calculated the costs of this dilapidated place and found that they even managed to recoup their military expenses by sending troops there.

So we might as well let them keep barking.

The shadow is not only a symbol of strength, but also a symbol of the entire village!

Now, some villages have even disappeared without a trace, especially since both Kumogakure and Iwagakure have remained silent about it, which suddenly made everyone realize something.

"Konoha made the move. How could they let someone else capture Danzo?"

It's from Konoha!

This statement instantly ignited the entire ninja world. Even though Konoha remained silent for the time being, there were simply too many ninjas watching the drama unfold.

Of course, many clear-headed people have also realized the problem.

"If Konoha kills all these Kage, will the Fourth Shinobi World War break out again?"

The Ninja World War is something everyone is worried about. Just thinking about the devastation caused by the war more than ten years ago sends chills down the spines of countless people.

"The ninja world is really in turmoil right now."

In the Land of Rain, Konan stood by the window, watching the drizzling rain outside. At this moment, she seemed to have lost the sorrow she usually felt when looking at the rain, and instead felt a strange mix of emotions.

"Indeed, with both Kage captured, the ninja world will find it difficult to be peaceful, but war is unlikely to break out."

Nagato shook his head, his gaze fixed on the rain outside. After a while, he suddenly spoke softly.

"I never imagined that this annoying rain would have such value."

"It just goes to show that our vision is still too limited."

Xiao Nan gently shook her head, but her mood remained good.

"Hasn't Konoha already replied, inviting us to come and discuss this matter in detail? It seems that Hidezawa has successfully persuaded their Hokage."

"Yes, I know."

Nagato nodded, his heart filled with a myriad of emotions.

"I don't know why, but I feel like I owe this guy more and more."

Although Xiuze has not yet told him what he should do in the future to achieve the peace he desires in his heart.

However, these things right now, especially helping them eliminate Danzo and solving the future funding problem of the Land of Rain, were enough to make him feel indebted.

"Perhaps."

Konan glanced at Nagato beside her, but didn't say much for the time being.

She herself actually felt this way to some extent, and perhaps doing these things wasn't a big deal for Xiuze.

Even Xiuze himself had other ideas, but the key point is that no matter what Xiuze thought, the reality is that he really helped them!

Let them figure out a way to solve the problems of the Land of Rain. The difficulty of this is unimaginable, and it's unknown how long it will take them to solve it.

Even though Shuzawa used Konoha's influence to promote this matter, they absolutely cannot deny Shuzawa's efforts in it!

After all, without Xiuze's absolute military superiority, many things would never have gone so smoothly.

"I will set off for Konoha in a few days. I heard that Pakura is still in Konoha."

Xiao Nan shook her head; she didn't want to think about it anymore.

"Moreover, as you and I both know, those Kage didn't die. Konoha will inevitably have to negotiate with other villages, and then we won't have much time left."

"Um."

Nagato nodded. Although Konan had already been to Konoha twice, he couldn't help but offer a reminder.

"Be careful. Although Xiuze is helping you, our identities must not be exposed. It would be bad for both us and Xiuze."

Moreover, given how serious the situation is this time, Jiraiya-sensei will likely return to Konoha, so we must be careful to avoid contact with him.

Jiraiya is not someone to be trifled with, and they all know this perfectly well.

In the past, they might not have thought about it so much, but the situation is different now.

Whether it's for the sake of Shuze, the Land of Rain, or ourselves, there are some things we must be as careful as possible about!

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Konan nodded, and she looked intently at Nagato.

"But you, Nagato, that lunatic is the one we should be most careful about."

"I know that Obito Uchiha is definitely someone to watch out for."

Nagato nodded with utmost seriousness. He would not be careless towards this kind of person, otherwise he would not have distrusted Obito Uchiha from beginning to end!

"However, Obito Uchiha is just a minor character. I really can't think of any other reason why he could still be alive, except that he can run away."

"Never underestimate anyone, Nagato."

Xiao Nan shook her head.

"Any carelessness will only lead to our own downfall."

"I see."

Nagato nodded, but quickly changed the subject.

"Instead of thinking about Obito Uchiha, we should think about Hidezawa, although I really want to say that Konoha owes us this."

But after reading the information and understanding that it was Hanzo who struck first, which led to Konoha's invasion of the Land of Rain, I really can't say such a thing.

Although Xiuze wouldn't care, owing too much would still make him uneasy.

"Do you feel uneasy because you owe too much?"

Xiao Nan sighed and stood by the window, watching the fine rain falling continuously outside.

For a moment, they all fell silent.

The turmoil in the ninja world continues, and in Konoha, Hidezawa's life goes on.

"You've got quite the entourage, haven't you? You even have two bodyguards with you wherever you go?"

Inside an izakaya in Konoha, Kakashi glanced at Hikaru, who was sitting next to Hidezawa without a mask.

He glanced at another person, Uchiha Izumi, who was wearing a mask that resembled half of the Aburame Torune mask that had been sent back by the Aburame clan, and couldn't help but make a comment.

Especially seeing that Hikari was sitting right next to Xiuze, he couldn't help but glance at Yugao, who was sitting on the other side of Xiuze.

For a moment, he was speechless.

Xiyan, you don't even care about this kind of thing?

"I'm the leader of Root, after all. Shouldn't I be protected?"

Xiuze smiled awkwardly. He couldn't very well say that he hadn't planned to bring her along, and that he was just using that as an excuse to pressure himself, or that Uchiha Izumi would insist on coming along too.

Since they were already there, Xiuze wasn't interested in having them sit at the "kids' table," so they might as well all sit together.

"Do you still need protection?"

Kakashi couldn't hold back his emotions when he heard this. There were two Kage "visiting" Konoha and the Rift Valley in the Uchiha clan's territory.

And the crumbling land of the Grass Country all point to one thing: Shuzawa is such a bastard that he's inhuman!

Does a guy like that need protection?

"Hidezawa was a department head, after all. Danzo had many people around him back then."

Tianzang didn't seem to care, and he tilted his head and said with a smile.

"I was one of the people who protected Danzo back then. Speaking of which, Hidezawa, do you want me to go back to Root? I can be your bodyguard."

"Just shut up!"

Kakashi didn't hold back and smacked Tenzo on the head. This guy really has no sense of propriety!

He's surrounded by pretty young women, why are you getting involved?

Kakashi also noticed that when Tenzo said those words, both the masked and unmasked girls looked over, clearly not in a friendly manner.

This made Kakashi's lips twitch even more; this guy was even more outrageous than what was written in "Icha Icha Paradise."

"I think the darker areas should actually be better."

Xiuze sighed, took Xiyan's hand with one hand and gently tickled her, which immediately made Xiyan glare at him.

Even though they were already so close, Xi Yan still didn't like to show affection in front of outsiders, but Xiu Ze just smiled without caring.

"Look at Yugao, I've asked her to come to Root and help me several times, but she always thinks Anbu is better and has refused me."

"ha"

Kakashi, with his deadpan expression, really didn't want to pay any attention to Shusawa.

He suddenly regretted inviting Xiuze out for dinner; wasn't he just asking for trouble?

"So, it's just the few of us?"

Xiuze tilted his head and looked curiously at the large private room. Then he saw that there were only a few of them in the room, which made Xiuze somewhat curious.

"And what brings you here today?"

"Please, didn't I already say that Kakashi-senpai might be leaving the Anbu?"

Xi Yan almost froze when she heard Xiu Ze's question. She remembered saying it, but now she had forgotten it?

Xiuze was stunned for a moment before he remembered that Xiyan had mentioned it before they rested last night, and he immediately felt a little embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, as you know, I'm the head of the Root Department, and I'm very busy."

Busy in Konoha at four in the morning?

Hikaru, who was originally quiet, couldn't help but glance at Shusawa upon hearing this, while Kakashi clearly didn't believe his nonsense.

However, he quickly shook his head and offered an explanation.

"I'm probably going to have to leave the Anbu. The Hokage talked to me about it, and I've agreed. I should be able to rejoin the ranks of normal ninjas after this crisis is over."

So this time I'd like to invite you all, along with some of my friends, to come over for a chat. They haven't arrived yet.

"Congratulations, Kakashi."

Xiuze immediately smiled and nodded. He didn't really know when Kakashi had left the Anbu.

However, he knew that Kakashi had taught students a few times, but those students were sent back by him before they even graduated.

At the same time, after leaving the Dark Division, he also carried out a mission related to a movie star, something like "Feng Hua Xiao Xue," showing that his life after leaving the Dark Division was quite colorful.

However, his departure made Xiuze realize that the "beginning of the story" was probably not far off.

Itachi Uchiha's massacre of his entire clan was a clear timeline; in a few years, Naruto, Sasuke, and their friends would be graduating.

This made Xiuze somewhat look forward to the future. Although he had already turned the ninja world upside down, it made things even more interesting!

"Thank you. Come to think of it, I do reminisce about my time in the Dark Division."

Kakashi smiled, seemingly with some emotion, but his smile quickly froze.

His time in the Dark Division was actually quite good. Although he initially came with the intention of "forgetting the past," he gradually grew to like everything in the Dark Division as time went by.

He was genuinely saddened to have to leave now, but seeing Xiuze's smiling face, he felt he couldn't smile anymore.

His later career in the Dark Division was always linked to this guy, and his willingness to leave the Dark Division was also partly due to this guy.

His later years in the secret service were truly thrilling.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was "kicked out of the Anbu" by Xiuze!

"Congratulations are unnecessary, but I've been quite busy lately. Hidezawa-kun, no, Department Head Hidezawa, could you do me a favor?"

"Um?"

Xiuze was a little confused. He touched his chin and looked at Kakashi with a puzzled expression.

"Kakashi, you've always been my captain, isn't it a bit inappropriate to talk like that?"

Just tell me, I'll definitely help you if I can.

"That's good"

Kakashi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and he looked at Shusawa with utmost seriousness and said slowly.

"As you know, other villages will be coming to Konoha for talks recently, especially Kumogakure and Iwagakure. Their Kage are 'visiting' us here."

I hope Xiuze-kun can help me keep a low profile for now, okay?

"."

"The Hokage is so angry he's been hospitalized. I just want to finish my last shift peacefully so I can leave, is that alright?"

"."

"Please, Minister Xiuze!"

"."

Looking at Kakashi's sincere face, then at Yugao who was secretly laughing, and at Tenzo who was still somewhat confused.

For a moment, Xiuze felt his fist harden.

That bastard Kakashi, does he think I'm a jinx?

Although Kakashi was a bit 'rude', Hidezawa didn't hold it against him too much.

After all, everyone else he invited had come.

Hidezawa knew almost everyone Kakashi invited, or was quite familiar with them.

Take Might Guy, for example. He was the man whose taijutsu skills were so impressive that Madara Uchiha called him "the strongest in taijutsu."

Although he seemed a bit silly, he was actually a nice person, a bit like Jiraiya in his outgoing nature, and Hidezawa quickly became familiar with him.

Besides him, there are also Umino Iruka, Kurenai, Anko, Ebisu, Genma Shiranui, and of course, Hayate Gekko.

Xiuze remembered all of these people; they were all familiar figures to him.

Strictly speaking, many of them were younger than Kakashi, but they all joined the war because of it.

And since they all survived, and their ages are not far apart, they can be roughly classified as "classmates".

Everyone had a great time that day, especially Guy, who was extremely excited when he learned that Kakashi was leaving the Anbu.

However, Xiuze noticed that Gekko Hayate seemed to be smiling rather reluctantly.

"Really, it's so late."

Early in the morning, Xiyan complained to Xiuze while washing up.

"You're really interfering with my work every day."

"Didn't I say I'd give you a room in a week?"

Xiuze hugged Xiyan from behind without caring and whispered something in her ear with a smile.

These words immediately made Xi Yan both laugh and cry. She gently nudged Xiu Ze with her elbow before speaking.

"Stop fooling around, we're going to be late. But speaking of which, it seems like Tsunade-sensei has been leaving early and coming home late lately. I wonder what's going on."

"Yes, that's true."

Hearing this, Xiuze frowned and nodded. Tsunade had indeed been acting strangely lately, and hadn't even spoken to him much.

"I remember she hated political affairs, but I heard she went to the Hokage Building all the time?"

"Yes, it is there, but I don't know anything more about it."

Yugao nodded. As a member of the Anbu, she was aware of some of Tsunade's movements, but she didn't know why.

"Could it be that the Hokage is really ill, and although he didn't attend the banquet, he's planning to withdraw?"

Xiuze held Xiyan in his arms and pondered for a moment, then suddenly spoke out subconsciously.

"Shall we begin the feast?"

Xiyan was a little confused, but she quickly realized what was going on.

"You bastard, it'll be troublesome if anyone else hears you like that. Besides, don't you know how the Hokage got to the hospital?"

"That's because he couldn't handle it. Didn't you see that my plan was approved again, and people from the Rain Kingdom are coming?"

Xiuze pursed his lips. His words left Xiyan somewhat speechless, but she had already finished washing up by now.

"Alright, that's enough. Hurry up, the staff is waiting for you downstairs."

"Um."

Xiuze nodded, and stopped making things difficult for Xiyan. He was thinking about Tsunade.

He had to admit that he did have the intention of deliberately provoking Hiruzen Sarutobi, but he didn't expect the effect to be so good.

Of course, he wasn't entirely sure of the specifics yet; there were some things he needed to ask Tsunade herself.

"Perhaps the Fifth Hokage will actually be appointed ahead of schedule."

Tsunade taking over is definitely a good thing for him, since he is still using the name of the "Senju Clan" to swindle and deceive people.

Of course, he himself knew that after he used Wood Release, he would be unable to sever ties with the Senju clan.

Now that he has even used the "True Several Thousand Hands," no one in the ninja world will question his identity anymore.

Therefore, given Konoha's current ecological niche, bringing Senju back into power is the best option. Tsunade can't be the same as before; she's just a backup option for Jiraiya.

"She's the only option now, isn't she?"

As he walked towards the root, Xiuze muttered to himself, while Guang glanced at him with some curiosity.

"What's wrong? It's rare to see you thinking about something the whole way. Did you run into a problem?"

"Not really, I was just thinking about Tsunade-sensei. She's been incredibly busy lately."

Xiuze snapped out of his daze, shrugged and smiled, while Guang nodded slightly.

The latest novel is first published here!

"Indeed, and she seems a little afraid to see you. Did you do something bad to her?"

"."

Xiuze's lips twitched, and he casually reached out and tapped Guang's little head.

Light reacted quickly; she tried to dodge instantly, but Xiuze was simply too much faster than her!

The light that was knocked on immediately made Guang a little unhappy, even though Xiuze had really hit it very lightly, but Xiuze didn't care.

"You dare talk nonsense? Believe me, I'll do something bad to you first."

"snort."

Guang gave a light hum, but he was also a little curious about what kind of "bad thing" Xiuze would do.

"Never mind, let's speed things up."

Seeing that Guang was completely unmoved, Xiuze rubbed his temples and simply reached out and grabbed her hand.

"Although I wanted to take a walk in the morning, I thought about it and realized we have more important things to do later, so let's speed things up."

"Is there anything else?"

Hikaru didn't mind being held by Hidezawa, after all, he was the one being held by this guy when he saw the Uchiha clan being wiped out.

She was simply curious about what would happen to Xiuze afterward.

"That improvement has further enhanced my control over chakra, and I think I can now try to do some things."

Xiuze looked at the light and smiled slightly.

"In addition, your eye problem also needs to be addressed, and I plan to take this opportunity to deal with it at the same time."

Finally, I also want to tell you something: I have found your identity information, which can be used to verify each other's identities by restoring your memories.

Ready? You might soon find out who you really are!

"Who am I, really?"

Hearing these words, Guang was momentarily stunned, and her hand unconsciously tightened its grip on Xiuze.

"Relax, don't worry."

Xiuze seemed to sense the girl's tension, and his chakra stirred slightly.

In an instant, they arrived at the base of the roots, and he then softly comforted them.

"I promised you, and I will keep my word. Besides, haven't you always wanted to know these things?"

Guang didn't speak immediately, as if she hadn't quite come to her senses yet. It took her a while before she slowly raised her head.

"What if I really am a heinous person?"

"Didn't you already ask this question?"

Xiuze blinked, then spoke with a hint of helplessness.

"Then I'll just have to keep you by my side, besides, the you of the past is not the you of today."

Also, I told you you're not that kind of person. You're a kind person, you know?

"Oh, then why are you so nice to me?"

"Why is it this kind of question again? I'm just waiting for you to get better!"

"real?"

"Didn't I tell you? We're friends, and now we're family, you idiot."

"I hope everything is alright."

Outside a medical room at the Root of Konoha, Hidezawa sat bored on a bench, waiting for things to change inside.

He has done what he promised Hikaru, and now it's time to see how it goes.

Restoring memories is not exactly difficult, but it's not exactly easy either. All Xiuze can do is use the power of Yin Release to pierce Rai's brain.

As for the White Zetsu cells, Shuzawa used a very small dose, and he can guarantee that there will be no problems!

While waiting, Hidezawa also planned to take a good look at what he had gotten from Orochimaru.

[The specific ability has been adapted: the technique adapted to Flying Thunder God. Please check it out.]

With the advent of Yin-Yang Release, Xiuze's [Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion] has now been completely upgraded.

Although it was somewhat of a waste of Danzo's talent, Hidezawa didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Moreover, Danzo's talent allowed him to fully comprehend the combination of Yin and Yang Release, which is why he was able to so easily master Yin-Yang Release by leveraging Onoki's talent.

Since he doesn't need to worry about the Yin-Yang Escape's ultimate move, he naturally needs to pay close attention to the spatial ability's ultimate move!

The power of space has always been the most incredible and powerful, and Xiuze was unwilling to miss out on such a power no matter what.

Previously, his Flying Thunder God skill level was low, and coupled with some limitations of the Flying Thunder God, he was unwilling to invest in it.

However, with Obito's talent added to the mix, the situation naturally changed.

To put it bluntly, if he were to take Obito's or Kakashi's Sharingan and use it himself, he could instantly arrive at anything within his sight!

However, he had no intention of taking their Sharingan; he had a better option!

"Let me see what's going on."

After carefully reviewing the information, Xiuze's expression suddenly became somewhat strange.

In his mind, a peculiar image emerged: he saw "himself" once again, and he could almost see with his own eyes that the space around "himself" had become somewhat strange.

"It seems like that space is completely under our control?"

Xiuze's expression was somewhat subtle, and at that very moment, the image of himself in the picture also began to move!

He simply drew a short knife, and in the next instant, he saw "himself" lightly swing the short knife in his hand.

Almost instantly, within that special space, countless phantom images of short swords completely covered the entire area!

"This is."

Xiuze's expression turned strange; having reached his level of strength, he could naturally see through the clues.

His sword swing appeared to be just a single strike, but that single strike instantly transmitted throughout the entire space!

This means that the entire space is reflecting his attack, and the attack from one point can spread to countless points within that space!

"This attack pattern"

Shuzawa involuntarily thought of Minato Namikaze, who seemed to be striving to achieve a second or even higher level of Flying Thunder God Technique.

His instantaneous killing of fifty Iwa ninjas before his death can actually be seen as the prototype of Hidezawa's move.

However, he needed the Flying Thunder God Mark to fly over, while Xiuze can be seen as using the Flying Thunder God Mark to allow the attack to penetrate!

"I don't even need the Flying Thunder God's mark; I already have control of the entire space."

Xiuze murmured to himself, and then he suddenly realized a problem!

"If a single enemy is within my spatial attack range, then if I set the point of attack within his body..."

Ignore defense!

Xiuze seemed even more excited. He couldn't even imagine what kind of effect this move would have if combined with his brand-new [Yin Yang Release: Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion]!

However, this move also has its drawbacks, namely that the area of ​​space it controls does not seem to be very large.

"It seems we'll have to investigate this carefully later. Is it like the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, where the more chakra is output, the larger the range?"

If that's the case, then this move would be extremely valuable to him!

"Hey, Xiuze, you're here early today."

Just as Hidezawa was getting excited, Shisui and Kabuto walked over.

The Root ninjas behind them immediately knelt on one knee when they saw Hidezawa.

"Greetings, Your Excellency!"

Get up.

Xiuze immediately suppressed his excitement, glanced at the Root ninjas, and shook his head.

Actually, he didn't like making such a show of things, after all, he wasn't Danzo.

However, given the prevailing social atmosphere in the ninja world, it would be difficult for Hidezawa to refuse.

Besides, such greetings are all based on personal wishes, and Xiuze would not force them.

However, if it were him, he would never do such a thing, since he has never knelt before Danzo!

He only wanted to strangle Danzo.

"Yes, I came early today because I have something to take care of."

Xiuze stretched and glanced at the medical room before continuing.

"After all, some issues need to be addressed, and some things need to be verified."

"You may leave now."

Shisui glanced at the Root ninjas behind him and spoke directly. Only after they left did he look back at Hidezawa.

"Speaking of which, Xiuze, I've always wanted to ask, who exactly is she?"

The question of who Hikari really is has been troubling Shisui for a long time. All he knows is that Hikari seems to have a deep relationship with Shusawa.

They even lived together.

Apart from that, Shisui knew absolutely nothing else about this person!

Of course, there are lingering issues from the Uchiha clan at play here, and he wouldn't care why Hidezawa and Hikari have such a good relationship.

He even hoped such a thing would happen, but he couldn't resist the curiosity of the people in his clan, as well as his own curiosity.

"She was a child abandoned by your Uchiha clan, and it just so happened that Tsunade and I found her when we went out for a walk."

Xiuze shrugged. He had already figured out how to deal with Guang's identity, and that was what he had told Xiyan and the others anyway.

"She harbored deep hatred for the Uchiha clan, so even after returning to Konoha, she was unwilling to return to the Uchiha clan."

"is that so."

Shisui found it hard to believe, but he felt that Xiuze wouldn't lie to him, which made him sigh helplessly.

"Looking at it this way, she's surprisingly kind. She was able to go all out against Uchiha Itachi; I doubt I could have done that."

How can this be related to kindness?

Xiuze himself was stunned for a moment. Shisui's perspective on analysis was too novel, wasn't it?

Dou glanced at the medical room from the side, but didn't pay it too much attention.

Kabuto did indeed create the fake information about Hikari, but Kabuto created far too many fake documents while working for Hidezawa.

Shuzawa had him create a fake document stating that Danzo was fully responsible for almost everything Danzo did.

Even things that Danzo didn't do will be made into "Danzo did it too"!

With so much forgery piling up, even if he remembered that outrageous document, it was unlikely he would recall it immediately.

In particular, the work that Xiuze gave him was exceptionally busy.

"By the way, the people from the Land of Rain are coming soon, and the Hokage has approved Root's external affairs."

I think it's time for us to do some necessary preparations. Oh, and there's one more thing I need to tell you: Lord Jiraiya is coming back.

"I see, I understand."

Xiuze nodded upon hearing this; this guy, Dou, was indeed unusually cautious.

Even though Shuzawa had said that the two Akatsuki members were Jiraiya's disciples, Kabuto still maintained a cautious attitude in dealing with them.

After all, Xiuze had said that only a few of them knew, so it's highly likely that even Dou wouldn't know.

"I'll handle this properly, don't worry."

Anyway, we just need to prevent Jiraiya and Konan from meeting, which isn't a particularly difficult thing.

If all else fails, they can just leave Konoha and do it there. He doesn't believe Jiraiya will dare to follow him then!

"Um?"

But just then, Xiuze seemed to realize something, and he stood up and spoke to the two of them.

"It seems the light has been restored. I'm going in to take a look."

"What's wrong with her? Is she alright?"

Shisui couldn't help but ask a question, while Xiuzhe looked at him with amusement.

"Don't worry, she's fine. Besides, her situation this time is not a big deal for your Uchiha clan."

"But it has very important significance!"

Inside the medical room, Guang lay on the medical bed with his eyes closed.

Xiuze injected her with some special medicine and a peculiar chakra before leaving and waiting for her outside the door.

However, she was also told to call out immediately if she felt unwell, and Xiuze would come in right away.

Guang didn't speak, but she could feel some changes within her body. These changes were subtle, but they seemed to be helping her eyes!

"Is this his power?"

Guang was a little curious; she had heard Xiuze say more than once that the powers of Indra and Asura could complement each other.

However, just as she was becoming curious about her body, the chakra that Xiuze had injected into her body seemed to react as well.

The power of this chakra seemed to match the power of her eyes perfectly, and under the influence of this chakra, she suddenly felt a slight tremor in her brain.

Suddenly, driven by this force, a strange yet incredibly familiar memory surged into her mind!

"This is."

Guang was filled with doubt, but when these memories completely merged with her, she froze.

"Father. Mother"

All of this is because the Uchiha clan brainwashed and tortured her, forcibly forcing her to forget her memories!

All the happiness she had once experienced, the love from her parents, and everything she had lost, finally surged back into her heart at this moment.

"Is this all... me in the past?"

Guang kept her eyes tightly closed as these past memories rapidly merged with her, and she suddenly realized something!

"So my name is also 'Uchiha Hikaru'."

This name is exactly the same as the one Xiuze gave her, hoping that she would turn her heart towards the light after getting rid of the darkness!

Her parents also hoped that she would grow up happily and healthily, like the light.

Although their purposes were different, they all perfectly overlapped!

"Perhaps, this is fate."

Guang couldn't help but mutter something under her breath. When she looked up, she saw a scroll placed to the side.

She reached out and took the scroll, carefully flipping through it. Inside, it was full of records about her!

Although there are some discrepancies in certain details, the information is basically consistent with the memories that surfaced in her mind.

"You put in that much effort?"

Guang couldn't help but murmur, and at the end she suddenly saw a sentence left by Xiuze.

"I never expected that the name I randomly gave you would be the same as your real name."

I hope your memory matches the information I found, but as I said, I can tell from your words and actions that you are a kind person.

I've always believed that you are. In my heart, you'll always be that person with a sharp tongue, who may have a cold face but a warm heart.

I hope everything goes well for you, keep it up!

"Didn't you yourself say that the Uchiha clan members look better with a cold expression?"

Hikaru put down the scroll, muttering something under her breath, but looking at it, she ultimately decided to put it in her pocket.

However, at this moment, Hidezawa suddenly opened the door and walked in. Behind him, Shisui and Kabuto did not follow, but they also peeked inside.

"Are you alright?"

Xiuze walked up to Guang, looked her over carefully, and then asked in a low voice.

However, to his surprise, Hikaru looked up at him intently without saying a word, but soon Hikaru suddenly reached out and gently hugged him.

"you"

Xiuze was stunned for a moment, but Guang's voice also rang in Xiuze's ears.

"Thank you, Xiuze."

Outside the door, Kabuto and Shisui exchanged a glance, then tacitly stepped back and closed the door to the medical department.

The two slowly walked to the bench, then sat down side by side quietly.

"Don't tell anyone about this, whatever you do, don't let Xiyan know."

After a while, Shisui suddenly spoke, while Kabuto looked puzzled.

"What is it? What are you talking about?"

"I suddenly understand why Xiuze values ​​you so much; it's not because you both came from an orphanage."

"Same to you, Shisui-kun."

Only the Tsunade route remains; barring any unforeseen circumstances, we should enter the familiar era the day after tomorrow.
