Chapter 67 It has always been like this, is it right?

Of course, Uchiha Hikaru can't do "Flying Thunder God".

But from the perspective of a ninja, the "shuttle" function of the chat group is really a bit like Flying Thunder God.

Besides...

She did learn another famous ninjutsu of Minato Namikaze, not long ago-

"You shouldn't feel unfamiliar with this ninjutsu, right?"

While speaking, Uchiha Hikaru raised his right hand again, and as the chakra condensed, a small ball gradually took shape in the palm of his hand, making a small buzzing sound.

"Rasengan!?"

"Minato actually taught you this technique?!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was shocked and turned his head subconsciously to look at his side.

Jiraiya's expression was even more solemn.

- As a witness to the development process of the Rasengan and the only person in the ninja world who can use it today, he is the most capable of distinguishing the authenticity of the ninjutsu in front of him.

"It's actually the Rasengan..."

"Minato is really still..."

Halfway through his words, Jiraiya paused and found that he couldn't find a suitable adjective.

What is it like to be in the belly of the god of death?

"... Although I don't know how you met Minato, Miss Uchiha Hikaru, he is willing to teach you these two ninjutsu, which means he trusts you very much. In this case, I won't say anything more. I just hope that you can take care of Naruto for the sake of friendship and don't let him go astray."

After a while, Jiraiya said slowly in a serious tone.

"Hmm?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen turned back and looked at Jiraiya suddenly-this is different from what they had discussed beforehand?

And Uchiha Hikaru on the opposite side raised his eyebrows: "Aren't you planning to take back the custody of Naruto this time? Well, it doesn't matter. I will move out of here after a while."

This decision was not made on impulse.

Before, Uchiha Hikaru had just arrived in Konoha and had no other place to go, so he stayed at Naruto's house temporarily by making a deal with the fourth generation.

But now.

She is already quite wealthy, and has obtained a lot of new things through several world travels. It is a bit inconvenient to live in such a small apartment that is closely watched by the Anbu.

"Move out?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced in the direction of the kitchen and hesitated: "Then Naruto..."

"Naruto is now able to take care of himself. Even without my care, he can take care of his life."

Uchiha Hikaru paused for a moment, then narrowed his eyes and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen in front of him: "But I suggest you not to force your values ​​that you can't even explain clearly to him, especially the "Will of Fire."

"..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen held back several times, and finally couldn't help: "Miss Hikaru, do you have some prejudice against the Will of Fire?"

"Puff——"

Uchiha Hikaru couldn't help laughing: "Prejudice?"

"Sarutobi kid, let me ask you. If I didn't appear in Konoha Village from beginning to end, how do you plan to deal with the Uchiha clan? "This..." Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little confused about the intention of this question: "The hypothesis you mentioned does not exist, but if that situation really happened, the Konoha high-level officials would of course focus on appeasement and try to resolve it peacefully through negotiations..." "Oh?" Uchiha Guang's smile became more obvious: "The so-called appeasement means arranging the Anbu to closely monitor and condone the Root to do evil in private, while hiding in the office and doing nothing? Unable to wash away the suspicion of planning the Nine-Tails Rebellion and dissatisfied with the current treatment and situation, given the character of the Uchiha clan, what actions do you think they will take? And how will you deal with it at that time? " In fact, at this point in time, the contradiction between the Uchiha clan and Konoha has become quite acute. If Uchiha Guang did not appear. Then within these few months, the conflict between the two sides will intensify to the climax, forcing Shisui to confess his "Kotoamatsukami" ability to the Konoha high-level officials, thus arousing Danzo's covetousness, causing him to be gouged out of his eyes and thrown into the river, and then forcibly interrupting the Uchiha clan's rebellion plan. Two years later, Itachi and Obito, the two traitors, will join forces to exterminate the clan.

Others may not know this.

But Sarutobi Hiruzen, who is the Hokage and has arranged for the Anbu to closely monitor the movements of the Uchiha clan for several years, should know it better than anyone else.

"This..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen is already sweating profusely.

In front of the grandmother of the Uchiha clan, he dare not say many things too bluntly.

After a long pause, Sarutobi Hiruzen tried to say tactfully: "If the Uchiha clan really confronted Konoha, then the top leaders might urge Fugaku to punish the ringleaders of the rebellion. After all, their actions have indeed endangered the safety of the village..."

"Oh."

"It turns out that a false accusation can be used as a reason for the destruction of a clan; just wanting to improve unfair treatment is a threat to the safety of the village.

If the person who caused the Nine-Tails Rebellion was a person who transplanted the cells of Hashirama Senju, or a person who transplanted the Byakugan who was stranded outside... Then would the Senju clan, the Hyuga clan, and even the Ino-Shika-cho and Sarutobi clan also go to the step of 'confronting Konoha'?"

Uchiha Hikaru's tone gradually hardened: "Let me be frank. In your eyes, 'Konoha', is it the people who make up this village, or the village itself? Is the so-called 'Will of Fire' 'protecting Konoha' or 'Konoha is supreme'? Since when did the village established to protect important people become a place where important people are abandoned in order to maintain the interests of the village? Can a village without people still be called a village?"

"..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen opened his mouth and was confused by this series of questions: "But... It has always been like this, and other ninja villages are also like this..."

"It has always been like this, is it right?"

Uchiha Hikaru interrupted him unceremoniously: "If everything is still the same as when the village was built and during the Warring States period, then what is the significance of Konoha's emergence?"

"Whether it is Naruto or anyone else, they are essentially a person first, and then a villager, ninja, or something else of Konoha. As a human being, you are not born into this world to be a firewood to light a fire!"

"..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to say that Uchiha Hikaru was quibbling.

But at this moment, he couldn't find a point to refute for a while.

The "will of fire" that he had said countless times in front of the ninja school, the Anbu, the senior ninja class, and even the villagers of Konoha suddenly seemed a little empty.

And Jiraiya opened his eyes wide and looked at Uchiha Hikaru carefully with a rare serious look, as if he was looking at a completely stranger.
