Chapter 157 Indra's Chakra? Sasuke: I have family now!

Chapter 157 Indra's Chakra? Sasuke: I Have Family Now! (10,000 words, please subscribe)

Xiuze's idea is actually not outrageous.

After he obtained Yin-Yang Escape, he realized just how outrageous this power was!

It can only be said that this is a power that even the Otsutsuki clan uses.

Such powerful energy, in Black Zetsu's hands, became a "possession technique," which seems absurd no matter how you look at it.

Then the only explanation seems obvious: Black Zetsu's Yin-Yang Release was suppressed.

"The only thing capable of suppressing Yin-Yang Release is probably not the power of Bloodline Limit!"

In Shuzawa's memory, there was no one who independently created the Bloodline Limit; they all relied on becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki to complete their transformation and reach the Six Paths level.

After all, the Ten-Tails is a vessel for aggregating chakra, and possessing it can indeed enable one to take that leap forward.

Yin-Yang Escape is contained within the Bloodline Limit, and only such power can possibly suppress Yin-Yang Escape.

"So, Black Zetsu's value is still increasing."

Xiuze was really excited. Although he had already achieved a balance in his chakra and his physical abilities had reached a new high.

However, he himself finds it difficult to explain how difficult it is to fuse with the Bloodline Limit. What he needs to do now is to accumulate experience in the early stages.

The Truth-Seeking Balls are a good preparation, as is accumulating chakra, but these are all preliminary preparations and accumulations. There are still many problems before you can truly make a breakthrough.

"However, if we could get the 'formula book,' the situation would be completely different."

If there were an official guidebook, it would be a huge help for Hidezawa!

Even if not, if we could get that wisp of chakra belonging to Kaguya Otsutsuki, belonging to the Kekkei Shrine, from Black Zetsu's body.

Then Xiuze will at least be able to experience the power of the Bloodline Limit and gain some understanding of the composition of Bloodline Limit fusion.

This will definitely speed up his progress, which is a great thing for him!

"Hey, what exactly are those Otsutsuki?"

While Hidezawa was thinking about the Bloodline Limit, Tsunade and Hikaru were thinking about the Otsutsuki mentioned on the stone tablet.

Even after returning to the Hokage Building, they still seemed unable to shake off these thoughts; it could only be said that the impact they had suffered today was simply too great!

"Them."

Xiuze came to his senses and scratched his head. He couldn't very well say that they were a group of aliens, could he?

"I don't know either. Maybe it's a family, maybe it's a race. Who knows?"

The only thing that can be said for sure is that this so-called Otsutsuki is extremely dangerous.

Otherwise, the Sage of Six Paths wouldn't have inscribed it on a stone tablet to warn future generations.

Hidezawa was always well aware of the danger posed by the Otsutsuki; these guys were extremely troublesome.

Although their fighting spirit is like that of an idiot, like that Otsutsuki Urashiki.

He was someone who possessed almost the same time-reset ability as Ike, but he was defeated by Jiraiya using poison.

This was something Xiuze never expected.

However, when it came to the Otsutsuki, Hidezawa suddenly thought of a question.

"It seems there really is a living Otsutsuki in the ninja world, isn't there?"

Isshiki Otsutsuki, or perhaps it would be better to call him Jigen now, is still lingering in the ninja world.

However, Xiuze quickly shook his head.

If it were any other Otsutsuki, he might dare to provoke them.

But Otsutsuki Isshiki, at least for now, he really doesn't have the guts!

Isshiki Otsutsuki is truly exceptional; he's on a completely different level from the other Otsutsuki.

Perhaps it was because he was tricked, and the host to whom his wedge was attached was too weak, that he had to make changes.

This change forced him to do what countless others in the ninja world had done over the years: fight, learn, absorb experience, and survive!

A thousand years is nothing to him, but he has spent a thousand years constantly integrating, learning, and applying the combat techniques he learned in the ninja world.

Combined with his ability to unleash Otsutsuki power in brief bursts, just thinking about such a person is terrifying!

"To be honest, if it weren't for Jiraiya's clone tricking him and forcing him to revive prematurely, and Naruto teaming up with Kurama to 'trick tears' and create Particle Mode, then..."

The most likely outcome is that the entire show will end on the spot!

Even though Naruto and Sasuke had already been "titled" at that time, their power was still beyond their era.

The two of them were fighting with almost all their might, but they were still beaten so badly by Jigen, who kept unleashing his power!

Xiuze really couldn't imagine such an outrageous situation.

Although he is strong enough now, he is not arrogant. At least he really doesn't dare to cause trouble for Cixian.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. We might run into each other again in the future. Let's focus on dealing with the things at hand."

Xiuze shook his head; he really didn't want to talk about these Otsutsuki issues anymore.

"We have won a great victory this time, but Iwagakure and Kumogakure will not let this go. I have a feeling that they will unite even more to target Konoha."

"snort"

Tsunade gave a soft hum, and stopped thinking about the Otsutsuki.

"These boring guys can never sit still for a moment."

"Why are they going crazy? Konoha doesn't seem to have done anything to them, does it?"

Hikaru sat in her office, looking at Tsunade and Hidezawa with a puzzled expression. She couldn't understand what was going on.

"This inexplicable hostility—what are they thinking?"

"It's actually not hard to understand; let me use a simple analogy."

Xiuze propped his head up with one hand, thought for a moment, and then spoke.

"If you know there is a tiger near your home, even if the tiger has never attacked you, it is too fierce and too big."

Even if it just bares its teeth at you slightly, you'll feel fear. So what should you do?

"They'll probably be so anxious they won't be able to eat or sleep, all they want to do is get rid of this tiger."

This time, Guang didn't say anything like "I'm not afraid of tigers." She frowned and continued.

"So, in their eyes, we are this tiger?"

"That's right, especially with the two of you."

Tsunade nodded, then sighed.

"The power you've shown has made them even more terrified, especially since Xiuze has been in contact with them and has exhibited some of the 'traits' of thugs."

It's impossible for them not to worry; even if we don't focus on them at all right now, they will definitely make preparations in advance.

"Is that so?"

Hikaru nodded, and after thinking about it carefully, she realized that she could understand those guys, after all, she had really experienced the darkest period of the Warring States period.

"So why not just wipe them out? Wouldn't that save us a lot of trouble?"

"."

Tsunade rubbed her temples in annoyance. "How could this Uchiha possibly say something like that?"

"You should learn more from Xiuze, and stop thinking with your outdated mindset."

"Destroying them will not do us any good."

Xiuze immediately spoke up; he didn't want to wipe out this group of "moving points" right now!

"Although we can do it, taking over afterwards will only make things more complicated. After all, their resistance is useless to us, but it will disrupt the order of the entire Konoha."

Peace cannot rely entirely on violence; it also requires constant appeasement through gentle means. Besides, what will the surrounding small countries think if we take action?

We are not afraid of the enemy, but there is no need to do anything now. Given the right opportunity, dealing with them will be no trouble at all.

Guang tilted his head slightly, then nodded.

She didn't quite understand what Xiuze meant, but in her opinion, when encountering these troublesome guys, just wipe them out.

However, since both Hidezawa and Tsunade meant the same thing, there was no need for her to refute them.

It's not a big deal. If these guys really want to make everyone unhappy, then there are plenty of ways to make them unhappy!

"Hey, you two, that's enough. Don't always try to hit them or anything like that."

Tsunade was having a bit of a headache. She had only asked Hidezawa to explain, but the way Hidezawa said it sounded like he was destined to take action in the future.

Although Tsunade understood that if things really came to that, she would inevitably have a conflict with those guys.

After all, from all perspectives, Iwagakure and Kumogakure had been supporting this attack on Konoha, and they also had close ties with the Akatsuki organization.

However, constantly saying these things doesn't seem quite appropriate.

"Mind your place! You're the Hokage's assistant!"

"Yes, yes, yes."

Xiuze nodded, and after thinking for a moment, he simply changed the subject.

"I'll pay attention to that in the future. Let's talk about something else. What do you think we should do about the Akatsuki?"

As expected, they will probably start digging up graves, after all, so many people have died in the ninja world over the past thousand years.

They have plenty of material, and they won't let it go. Even if they can't find the ancients, many people have died since Konoha was founded.

The Kage of each village, powerful ninjas—they might not let them go.

"Isn't this your problem?"

Tsunade shook her head; the more she thought about this mess, the more annoyed she became.

"You're in charge of affairs outside the village, so this kind of thing is obviously your responsibility. Why are you telling me about these things?"

As for the village, I'll arrange for my spies to keep watch, but that Orochimaru is really troublesome.

Orochimaru's troubles are predictable, as he holds the Impure World Reincarnation technique in his hands.

Moreover, this time he even summoned two Hokage. Who knows what other crazy things he might do next!

There's no doubt that Tsunade has a bond with Orochimaru, but this time Orochimaru has really gone too far.

"Should we get rid of him?"

Seeing the change in Tsunade's emotions, Hidezawa thought for a moment and then smiled as he spoke.

"You know I have an informant within the Akatsuki. I could have him help me locate Orochimaru, lure him out, and then I could lead my men to wipe him out?"

"this"

Tsunade hesitated. Although it seemed like a good idea, did she really want to kill Orochimaru?

But as she thought about what Orochimaru had done, her gaze gradually changed.

"Okay, but you must be careful about this. I don't want anyone from Akatsuki to be exposed, as it would cause us unnecessary trouble."

"I know, I will investigate this matter carefully."

Xiuzawa nodded. Orochimaru was very valuable to him, after all, he had mastered the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

But if it's truly irreplaceable, it doesn't have to be!

Xiuze has mastered the use of Black Zetsu's Yin-Yang Release. While Black Zetsu's Yin-Yang Release has no offensive capabilities, its possession ability is perfect.

He could easily use this possession ability to do something, such as handing it over to someone else to operate.

As for Orochimaru, it's not a big deal that he's gone!

"However, it's not easy to completely kill Orochimaru; this guy can still be resurrected."

Hidezawa needs to think carefully about how to deal with Orochimaru; there's no precise timeframe for a gradual investigation anyway.

He can have it whenever he wants!

"Also, you should try to keep an eye on that brat Sasuke."

Just as Hidezawa was pondering, Tsunade suddenly spoke.

"Itachi Uchiha wanted his eyes, which means he might really have good potential, but he just hasn't received the proper guidance he needs."

Just like you didn't receive Senju's guidance from a young age, although you've grown up well, it's hard to say what will happen to this kid.

Anyway, you have an Uchiha by your side. Give him a little guidance and see if he can improve as well, so he can have some power in the future.

"Sasuke?"

Hidezawa was genuinely surprised that Tsunade had brought up the matter on her own initiative, but upon reflection, it wasn't entirely unexpected.

Having examined the stone tablet and confirmed certain matters, accumulating strength became an inevitable step.

Besides, aren't the Senju and Uchiha considered "brothers"?

Even if the Uchiha clan isn't so unlucky as to have only Sasuke left, it wouldn't hurt to train him!

"I understand, I'll handle this."

Xiuze nodded and readily agreed to the task.

"What about Naruto? That kid is on the same team as Sasuke, and he's also the son of the Fourth Hokage."

"That kid will be handed over to Jiraiya."

Tsunade didn't hide anything; she revealed what she had already decided.

"I will personally teach Karin together with Yugao, but Kakashi will still be the captain, although we will train separately."

Furthermore, I will assign them more tasks in the coming period, hoping they can grow up quickly.

Tsunade would not deny the team's potential, and nurturing new talent is indeed very important.

Xiuzawa nodded in agreement; this arrangement was indeed quite good, and it even put Sasuke in his hands.

"Then can I take a closer look at what this so-called Indra's power is?"

Both Indra and Ashura are reincarnated using chakra, and have been reincarnating for thousands of years.

Xiuze was very curious about how they did it, and he was also particularly interested in what kind of power was contained in that chakra.

Although he has now reached this point, the number of samples available for his observation and reference is decreasing.

But Indra and Asura are excellent examples of observation from any perspective!

"Also, you need to take responsibility for yourself. The people from the Land of Rain will be leaving in two days, so don't cause any trouble."

Seeing that Hidezawa agreed, Tsunade nodded as well, but then she quickly remembered something and immediately offered a hint.

"This is outrageous! You've got it too easy! This isn't fair at all!"

"I understand. And teacher, you are the Hokage."

"I regret it!"

Hidezawa rubbed his temples helplessly. He felt that Danzo would probably be so angry after hearing this that he would smash open his coffin lid.

However, he also remembered something: Xiao Nan seemed to have said that she would treat him to a meal when they parted.

He was actually quite interested in this matter.

In the dead of night, silvery moonlight spilled across the earth.

Sasuke continued to train relentlessly; he was an extremely hardworking person.

Ever since he heard Hidezawa say "Konoha at four in the morning," he has never stopped coming over.

Especially during this period, after he repeatedly witnessed the true power belonging to Shuzawa, he became even more convinced of the existence of "Konoha at 4 a.m."

"When will I be able to reach his level, or like that woman?"

Sasuke was panting heavily, and he couldn't help but think to himself.

He hated Itachi Uchiha so much, and he desperately wanted to kill that damned guy to avenge his entire family!

Moreover, because of the existence of that "Uchiha older sister", he was really worried about one thing.

It might not be his turn for revenge.

These concerns intensified after seeing Hidezawa and Hikaru use the "Susanoo Tail" together.

Even though he wasn't on a mission to leave the village, he would occasionally run to the village wall to look into the distance.

Looking at the land that had become completely unfamiliar, and recalling the earth-shattering sword strike of that day, his fists clenched involuntarily.

"That's incredible!"

Such power suffocated him and filled his heart with longing.

These days, while he's cooperating with the village's operations to capture those Sand Ninja and Sound Ninja who might be hiding, he often hears outsiders discussing Hidezawa.

Listening to the legendary stories about Xiuze, especially some little-known tales, he finally understood just how legendary that person truly was.

"As a child, he went to the Land of Wind with his older brother Shisui and thwarted the Sand Village's plot."

"Searching for Lady Tsunade. When the Hokage returned to Konoha, she defeated the Fourth Raikage."

"Together with Shisui and Kakashi, we conquered Kusagakure."

"He, along with Shisui and Kakashi, were capturing Akatsuki members in Iwagakure."

"He fought against the Akatsuki in Kirigakure with Kakashi-sensei and thwarted the Akatsuki's plot to control the Mizukage."

"Uchiha Yoru was the first to notice the Akatsuki's arrival, protected Konoha, and repelled the Akatsuki members."

These things were originally supposed to be classified, but as Hidezawa became the Hokage's assistant and displayed "overwhelming power," people naturally became extremely curious about him.

Therefore, some things should be released so that the villagers can get to know Xiuze better.

At the same time, this "Chunin Exams crisis" will enhance the prestige of Konoha's new generation of leaders!

Of course, there was also the idea of paving the way for Hidezawa to become the future Hokage.

The emergence of this news not only shocked the entire Hidden Leaf Village, but they also never expected that Shuzawa had done so many big things without making a sound!

This shocked Sasuke and Naruto. Naruto never expected that the older brother who had been chasing him for the money for his instant noodles was so strong.

Sasuke, on the other hand, was much more clear-headed. He knew that if he could accomplish any one of these things, he could brag about it for the rest of his life!

But Xiuze not only accomplished and succeeded in everything he did, he's practically a living legend!

"That older sister, she's probably the one the Hokage's assistant rescued that night when he defeated the Akatsuki, right?"

Sasuke sighed inwardly. He didn't think about why the village hadn't protected the clan; Hidezawa had already explained it back then.

Moreover, he himself felt that his clan probably didn't want others to see them as weak, which gave Itachi Uchiha an opportunity.

It's already quite impressive that Xiuze was able to rush over and help!

"You damned traitor, you really deserve to die!"

Sasuke cursed inwardly, then stood up to begin a new round of training.

He was determined to get revenge, no matter what; that was his belief!

"They really work hard."

However, at that moment, a voice suddenly rang out behind him, which immediately made Sasuke's gaze sharpen.

There might still be remnants of Sunagakure and Otogakure in the village, so he naturally needs to be extremely careful.

But when he turned around, he saw a man who wasn't wearing a mask but was dressed in dark ANBU uniform walking towards him.

The man had silver hair and looked somewhat like Kakashi, but he was wearing glasses.

He gently pushed up his glasses, the lenses reflecting slightly in the moonlight, making it difficult for Sasuke to see the guy's eyes.

However, Sasuke did know the guy's identity: "You're from Root, a subordinate of Lord Hidezawa?"

"good."

The man nodded and smiled.

"You can call me Kabuto, or you can call me Vice Minister. This is my position in the Root organization."

Dou smiled warmly, but inwardly he was cursing.

The position of deputy minister was given to him by Xiuze. At first, he was quite happy about it, but now he knows the truth.

The so-called deputy minister is someone who does everything, working like a beast of burden, it's all his work!

But Xiuzawa didn't care about anything; he just issued orders and that was it.

Of course, Xiuze also told him that he could delegate tasks to his subordinates.

But Kabuto didn't dare, because he was the one in charge!

Even though he wasn't the only deputy minister, and there was also Shisui who did the same, the two of them had a clear division of labor.

Zhi Shui is the deputy head of the Operations Department, while he is the deputy head of the Management Department.

Shisui only had to consider recklessness, while he had many other things to consider.

"The deputy minister of the Root?"

Sasuke looked at Kabuto in disbelief. It wasn't that he didn't believe the story; there were two departments in Konoha that couldn't be easily faked.

The latest novel is first published here!

One is the shadow, and the other is the root.

These two departments, one internal and one external.

But they are all extremely mysterious and shady, and if you are discovered impersonating them, it could really be fatal!

Especially the Root faction; Sasuke had heard a certain explanation for that.

When the secret agents are deployed, they will present evidence and openly tell you why they are looking for you.

Once the roots have made their move within the Leaf Village, no evidence is needed; a list is sufficient.

Thinking of this, Sasuke immediately became much more obedient, but his heart was also filled with doubts.

"Sir, what brings you here?"

After being told by Hikaru that he was "not very polite", Sasuke has now started to become "polite".

But this person is still from Xiuze!

"It's not me looking for you, it's our minister."

Dou shook his head, but still maintained a smile as he spoke.

"The Hokage believes that Itachi Uchiha poses a great threat to you and hopes that the department head can help you, since you are a member of the village."

Of course, you are the one involved, and the choice is yours. You should know that the training at the root level is something that not everyone can withstand, so…”

"Is that even a question?"

Before Kabuto could even finish speaking, Sasuke was already trembling with excitement!

Originally, Sasuke desperately wanted to meet Shusawa, and even hoped to receive guidance from Shusawa, especially from the Uchiha older sister who was by Shusawa's side.

He kept working hard, hoping to make some progress so that he would have the confidence to meet Xiuze.

Unexpectedly, the opportunity has now presented itself?

Although it was somewhat different from what he had expected, it was still a pleasant surprise!

Sasuke is so eager to improve that he won't give up no matter how tough it gets!

"My lord, I'm willing. Let's set off now!"

Sasuke was impatient, and Kabuto thought for a moment and simply nodded.

"Now? Fine, since you're in such a hurry, I won't stop you."

However, there's something I need to tell you: once we enter the Root, I hope you can remain calm.

keep Calm?

Sasuke was somewhat puzzled; he didn't know what this vice-minister meant.

At the same time, he was also thinking about what kind of abilities this young deputy minister in front of him had.

He looked to be no older than Xiuze, so how did he gain Xiuze's trust and become the vice minister?

Although he was full of doubts, he obediently listened to Dou's words and forced himself to calm down.

The two moved quickly and soon arrived at the foot of the Hokage Rock.

"Is this the place?"

Sasuke was still filled with excitement and anticipation; he could feel his heart pounding faster and faster.

Moreover, along the way, he encountered several groups of secret agents who came up, checked his identity, and left immediately, even behaving very respectfully.

All of this proves that the bespectacled guy in front of you is the real Deputy Minister of the Root!

He's getting more and more excited about what will happen next.

"Alright, we've arrived."

Kabuto stood at the doorway, looking at Sasuke in front of him, and said with a smile.

"Come down with me. Someone saw you when you came. Perhaps some 'surprise' is already prepared."

"surprise?"

Sasuke looked at Kabuto with a puzzled expression. He didn't quite understand what Kabuto meant, while Kabuto's smile grew even brighter.

"Well, it could be a surprise, or it could be a shock or a nightmare, since I don't know how they see you."

"them?"

Sasuke's expression became even stranger, but this time Kabuto didn't explain further and instead walked towards the Root base first.

Although Sasuke was extremely confused by what he saw, he still gritted his teeth and followed Kabuto down.

The base was not as dark as I had imagined. Although it was underground, the candlelight and lamplight complemented each other, and everything seemed to be fine.

But the further he went down, the more he felt something was wrong.

Because he could always sense that someone was watching him.

As he walked down to a large bridge, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Because he saw groups of people dressed in the traditional clothing of the Uchiha clan standing in the middle of the bridge!

They all had pairs of scarlet Sharingan eyes, and each of them was quiet but exuded a murderous aura as they stared at his arrival!

"This is..."

Sasuke's eyes widened in disbelief. Weren't these the clansmen he remembered who had long since died?

What are they doing here?

Aren't they already dead?

Is it

"Sasuke..."

However, at that moment, a very familiar voice rang out, and a person slowly walked towards him.

In the candlelight and lamplight, Sasuke could see the person's face clearly, and at that moment, Sasuke finally couldn't hold back anymore!

Tears streamed down his face like a collapsing dam, and he stood there, stunned, watching the person walking toward him.

His breathing became rapid, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably. He opened his mouth as if to say something.

But at that moment, he found himself unable to utter a single word until the person walked up to him, at which point he managed to utter a sound with trembling lips.

"Brother Zhishui?"

"Look, you've scared someone."

Kabuto looked at Sasuke, who had completely lost his composure, with a wicked grin, then teased Shisui as he approached.

"Okay, stop standing there. He's a victim too. Haven't you all seen that over the years?"

Moreover, what Itachi Uchiha wanted was his eyes, and the pain he endured was far greater than you can imagine.

Although his performance wasn't great, he always longed to kill Itachi Uchiha, so he wasn't entirely useless.

Hearing Kabuto's words, the Uchiha clan members, though their expressions remained somewhat cold, walked towards Sasuke one by one.

"Sasuke."

"Welcome to the Roots."

"Long time no see, kid."

One by one, the Uchiha clan members watched Sasuke walk over, and each of them greeted him.

Sasuke was still somewhat stunned; he was completely shocked by everything before him.

Although he didn't seem to recognize many of these people, he was certain they were his own people!

In particular, he saw Shisui, and he also saw Uchiha Izumi, whom he had once taken care of.

"What exactly happened?"

Sasuke struggled to keep his emotions from completely collapsing; his voice trembled, and he could barely utter a complete sentence.

"Everyone...everyone..."

"It's Lord Xiuze."

Shisui looked at Sasuke with a somewhat complicated expression, but in the end he calmly began to explain.

"On the night of the massacre, it was Lord Xiuzawa who saved everyone, including me."

"Then why didn't you tell us? Why is everyone here?"

Sasuke clenched his fist, and Izumi Uchiha, standing next to Shisui, frowned.

"Because of your brother, Uchiha Itachi!"

He wants your eyes and will do everything he can to provoke you.

Although Lord Shuzawa is incredibly powerful, he colluded with Obito Uchiha and possesses a space-time Mangekyou Sharingan.

Lord Hidezawa is very busy with official duties, how could he possibly only be focusing on this kind of guy, and we don't want to put Lord Hidezawa in a difficult position.

Therefore, we all chose to stay at the roots, and we have adapted to life at the roots and do not want to leave.

At this point, Uchiha Izumi paused for a moment before continuing.

"As for why I won't tell you, do you have the ability to protect yourself?"

Are you sure you won't leak this information, reveal our whereabouts, and thus attract Itachi and Obito Uchiha?

Besides, we don't trust you either, because you're Itachi Uchiha's younger brother!

Upon hearing these words, Sasuke fell silent.

Although he was incredibly excited to have found his living people again, he suddenly felt that he was not alone in his life.

But the words of his clansmen made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave!

That's right, he is Itachi Uchiha's younger brother, and Itachi Uchiha's harm to the entire clan was immeasurable.

Anyone else would probably find it hard to believe him so easily, let alone tell him so much.

"However, things are different now."

Shisui shook his head at Uchiha Izumi and spoke with utmost seriousness.

"You have already proven that you are different from Itachi Uchiha, and we have seen your efforts over the years."

Such hard work is something that most people can't endure, but with just one sentence from Lord Xiuze, you've been able to persevere until now.

Even we have to admire you for that. Of course, most importantly, you have gained Lord Xiuze's approval.

So, welcome home, Sasuke.

"Going home?"

Sasuke was even more excited when he heard this.

How long has it been? How long has that pain, guilt, and loneliness been surrounding him?

Although he knew there was another survivor besides him, the older woman never even gave him a second glance.

The gap between them was like a chasm, and he always felt like he was all alone.

But things are different now. I see Brother Shisui, Sister Izumi, and all the people from my clan.

He truly felt that the Uchiha clan still existed, and that he wasn't the only one left in the Uchiha clan!

"Wow"

At this moment, Sasuke finally lost control of his emotions. He hugged Shisui tightly and burst into tears.

His cries echoed continuously within his roots, as if he were venting all the pain he had endured over the years.

"Sasuke...sigh."

Amid his cries, the other Uchiha members also sighed, finally no longer facing Sasuke with their cold expressions.

They actually knew that, compared to them, Sasuke was the one who was suffering the most.

The pain he endured is unimaginable, and he was only a thirteen-year-old child!

But now, everything is going to get better!

All of this is thanks to Lord Xiuze!

"Tch, that's really touching."

Looking at everything before him, Dou smiled slightly, shook his head gently, and silently turned and walked outside.

It's better to leave this time for Sasuke and the Uchiha group; he, as an outsider, shouldn't disturb them.

For some reason, he suddenly remembered his time in Iwagakure.

If it weren't for Shuzawa, his mental breakdown would probably be even more severe than Sasuke's, because he truly had no ability to salvage the situation.

"What a lucky guy, but so am I."

With candlelight casting shadows, Kabuto silently walked out of the Roots and stood at the entrance, looking up at the moon in the sky.

Suddenly, he realized that he hadn't visited the orphanage in a long time, and it was time to go see the director.

"I'm taking the day off tomorrow, I don't care about that bastard Xiuze anymore!"

Kabuto made his decision in secret, and then his figure silently disappeared into the darkness.

In the darkness, the reflection in his glasses flickered slightly, clearly indicating that he had glanced back at the Root base.

"Go ahead and cry, these tears won't be enough once training starts tomorrow."

The moonlight was hazy, and the silvery moonlight shone on the eaves of the Senju clan's house.

As Xi Yan wiped her body, she walked to the bedside and sat down.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Xiuze, who was sitting on the bed, hugged her tightly and whispered something in her ear.

"Stop fooling around, it's not dry yet."

Xi Yan chuckled softly, but then leaned into Xiu Ze's arms.

"It wasn't too hard. In fact, Konoha responded very promptly this time, and there were no civilian casualties."

There are just a lot of problems to deal with afterward, and besides, the ones who really have to work hard are you, Guang, and the teacher.

You not only have to fight, but also handle a series of subsequent negotiations. Is that the real hardship?

"You see things much more clearly than the teacher, who only knows how to scold me for being lazy."

Xiuze smiled slightly as he put his arm around Xiyan, while Xiyan turned her head and pointed at Xiuze's forehead.

"It's normal to say you're slacking off. You're the Hokage's assistant, so it's only right that you do more. Of course, the teacher's words are also unfair."

After all, I heard you met with people from the Land of Rain, and also had a meeting with Yekura.

Xiyan can still obtain a lot of information in the Dark Division, especially since she is a captain, and the intelligence passed to her is no less than abundant.

However, there are some pieces of intelligence that no one would blindly pass on to Gil.

Hidezawa had at least served in the Anbu, and everyone knew each other well. Now he was assisting the Hokage, and he would most likely become the Hokage in the future.

It's likely that if he has something "shameful" going on, everyone will tacitly help him keep it a secret.

Hiruzen Sarutobi has already made a statement, so all the Anbu will simply follow suit!

But they had no idea that Xiyan probably didn't care about this at all.

"What, aren't you going back to your room tonight and waiting for everyone to come back?"

Looking at the time, Xi Yan asked with amusement.

"I heard that he's been going to see you all this time."

"That's what Karin, that brat, said, right?"

Without even thinking, Xiuze knew what was going on, which made him grit his teeth.

"What, you still want revenge on her? Be careful, even the teacher might not let you off the hook."

Seeing Xiuze's appearance, Xiyan found it somewhat amusing. She gently hugged Xiuze and closed her eyes.

In fact, she had expected all of this to happen.

As a descendant of the Senju clan, and like the First Hokage, he awakened Wood Release on his own, displaying terrifying power that looked down upon the world.

The continuation of his bloodline is of paramount importance!

Xiyan herself had thought of this, and Xiuze had also mentioned it, seemingly jokingly.

Moreover, even the Third Hokage had hinted at this to her!

At first, she admitted that she might have felt a little unhappy, but now...

"Alright, it's time to rest."

Xiuze gently pulled her down and she panicked.

"Wait, I have things to do tomorrow!"

"Tomorrow is my day off, please take the day off!"

"Hey, is this how you serve as a Hokage's assistant?"

"That's right, I'm the Hokage's assistant. Tomorrow you'll be reassigned to protect me for the day. That's settled!"

"Hey, you're abusing your power for personal gain!"

"Don't worry about that. Just protect me tomorrow, even at home!"
