Naruto: I, who didn't want to be hacked to pieces, saved the ninja world.

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head. "Grandpa has work to do later, so he can't spend time with Naruto today."

"Do we have to work during the New Year? Being Hokage is so hard." Naruto's mood became somewhat dejected.

Hiruzen Sarutobi rubbed Naruto's head again, "Hurry up and go. It's not a good habit to keep your friends waiting."

"Yes, goodbye, Grandpa Hokage!"

After saying goodbye to Hiruzen Sarutobi, Naruto disappeared in a flash.

Watching Naruto's disappearing figure, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but sigh.

Two figures appeared from the shadows behind them.

Hiruzen Sarutobi also composed himself. "The seal on Naruto is fine, but we absolutely cannot be careless."

"Kakashi, Guy, I'm leaving Naruto in your hands tonight. If the seal inside Naruto shows any unusual movement, take him away immediately."

"Yes!" ×2

Might Guy and Kakashi both agreed at the same time.

"Lord Third Generation, don't you need our help on your end?"

Might Guy looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi with a worried expression.

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head, patted Might Guy on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Guy, don't underestimate the Hokage."

"Moreover, the Nine-Tails inside Naruto is even more important. If the Nine-Tails goes berserk, it will be up to you!"

Might Guy sensed the Hokage's trust, and his expression turned serious. "Third Hokage, we guarantee to complete the mission!"

"Ah."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, then looked at Kakashi and sighed softly.

"Kakashi, it's time for you to move on..."

Chapter 106 The Advantage Lies With Me

Uchiha clan.

"Brother, aren't you coming to the festival with us today?" Sasuke asked, looking longingly at Itachi Uchiha, who was dressed and ready to leave.

Itachi Uchiha raised his hand and tapped Sasuke's forehead, saying helplessly, "Sasuke, I have work tonight."

"Besides, didn't you already make plans with your friends?"

"All right……"

Sasuke's expression visibly crumbled.

Itachi patted Sasuke's head again, a fleeting look of reluctance in his eyes.

He then looked at Uchiha Mikoto, who was frowning, and said, "I'm leaving now, Mother."

"Honestly, it's such an important day, and neither of you knows how to take a day off." Uchiha Mikoto's tone was very dissatisfied.

Their family hasn't had a proper meal in a month.

Itachi Uchiha's expression remained helpless. "It's precisely because it's an important day that we need to be even more careful about the village's safety."

"Ah~"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Mikoto sighed softly, her furrowed brows smoothing out, and said gently, "Be careful."

Itachi Uchiha smiled for the first time in a long time. "I will."

Uchiha Itachi walked out of the house, his emotions completely gone, leaving only indifference.

Neither he nor Fugaku Uchiha told Mikoto Uchiha what would happen that night.

When the new year arrives, the Uchiha clan will also be reborn.

Itachi Uchiha quickly arrived at the Naka Shrine, where the elites of the Uchiha clan were already waiting.

They plan to launch a surprise attack on the Hokage Building tonight and take control of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

The Uchiha elites have the advantage against the empty Hokage Building!

At this moment, Fugaku Uchiha, who was sitting in the center, opened his eyes.

"Everyone, tonight, we will take back everything that the Uchiha clan has lost."

……

In the forest outside the Uchiha clan's territory.

Space distorted for a moment.

A figure dressed in a black robe and wearing a tiger-striped mask emerged from the distorted space.

"That Uchiha Itachi really knows how to pick his time, choosing this day."

Obito Uchiha gazed at the Hokage Rock, and even from such a distance, he could still see the bright flames.

"It's nothing but a false world, a false peace..."

Just then, a pitcher plant grew next to him.

"How is the situation on the Uchiha side?" Obito Uchiha asked in a deep voice.

"Itachi Uchiha has already led his men this way," Black Zetsu said expressionlessly.

White Zetsu are present in many places in Konoha Village, so Black Zetsu can often quickly grasp the situation within the village.

However, there are also many places where special barriers prevent even White Zetsu from conducting covert surveillance.

For example, places like the Hokage Building...

Obito Uchiha thought he was the mastermind behind everything, but he was the one who stalked the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind him.

He is the one who is in the dish.

Obito Uchiha looked up at the sky, and the silver moon seemed to turn blood red in his eyes.

Has Konoha noticed anything?

"Probably not. Hiruzen Sarutobi went to see the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, then sent Kakashi and Might Guy to monitor him before returning to the Hokage Building." Black Zetsu recounted the information White Zetsu had seen from afar.

"Kakashi and Might Guy...?"

Obito Uchiha snorted coldly, not wanting to pay any attention to the two of them.

"Then let the Uchiha disappear with the night..."

……

The ancestral home of the Thousand Hands family.

Shizune helped Tsunade put on her yukata.

Unlike her languid demeanor yesterday, Tsunade's yukata was meticulously crafted after careful dressing, with the black corset accentuating her fuller figure.

The originally loose tea-green yukata now clung tightly to her voluptuous body, perfectly accentuating her curvaceous figure.

The slightly open neckline revealed her snow-white collarbone and a fullness that Jingyin could never achieve in her lifetime.

It would also bounce around from time to time.

Shirokumo Aoba, dressed in an elegant yukata, stood to the side, silently admiring the beautiful scenery.

Knock knock knock!

Just then, a knocking sound rang out on the door.

Tsunade and the other two were all stunned for a moment.

"I'll go open the door!"

Baiyun Qingye walked towards the door.

The door opened, and Uzuki Yugao, dressed in a purple yukata, stood in the doorway.

"Sister Xiyan, when did you get back?" Baiyun Qingye asked with a surprised expression.

"Just got back."

Uzuki Yugao was in a good mood, and despite her hurried pace, she still managed to make it.

Upon seeing Shirakumo Aoba's adorable appearance in a yukata, her eyes immediately lit up.

He couldn't resist picking up Baiyun Qingye and rubbing her against him.

"Aoba, I have enough tasks for now. I'll submit my application to the Hokage tomorrow, and if it's approved, I'll become a Jonin."

"Really? Then I congratulate Sister Xiyan in advance."

He was already immune to Shirokumo Aoba letting Uzuki Yugao rub her face against his; he was already immune to this kind of action.

Moreover, he doesn't suffer any losses.

"Oh, it's Yugao!"

Tsunade and Shizune, already dressed, walked out from inside.

"Lady Tsunade, Senior Shizune."

Uzuki Yugao also put down Shirokumo Aoba and greeted the two of them.

Shizune glanced at Baiyun Qingye with a wistful look in her eyes; she also wanted to rub against him.

Suppressing the bittersweet feeling in her heart, Shizune smiled at Uzuki Yugao.

"Since we're here, let's go to the festival together."

"it is good!"

This was exactly what Uzuki Yugao intended to achieve.

The four of them chatted and laughed as they walked toward the Hokage Rock.

But when they reached the foot of the Hokage Rock, Shirokumo Aoba stopped.

"Qingye?" Uoyuki Xiyan looked confused.

Bai Yunqingye scratched his head and explained, "I made an appointment with Tiantian and the others to take another route."
