Chapter 68

a long time.

Uchiha Hikari shook his head, showing a bored expression.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's theoretical level was even weaker than she expected.

It can be said to be vulnerable.

The so-called "will of fire" has been shouted since the beginning of Konoha's village. As a result, several generations have passed and only a few beautiful words have been spoken back and forth, with almost no substantial progress at all. And if you put these beautiful words together with the nasty things that have happened in Konoha for decades, and have not even happened yet, it becomes even more ironic.

"Is there anything else you want to say?"

Uchiha Hikaru looked directly at the two people in front of him and broke the silence: "If not, please come back. I won't send you far away."

…

Sarutobi Hiruzen and Jiraiya left Naruto's house with the same embarrassment as when they entered.

But before leaving, they left one thing behind.

"Namikaze Minato's house deed...is such a thing still there?"

Uchiha Hikari looked at the stack of papers on the coffee table, a little surprised.

She did know that the place where Naruto lived now was not the residence of Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina - nonsense, which Hokage would live in a small apartment of less than 40 square meters?

Judging from her vague impression of the original work and the address information written on the property deed, the Namikaze couple's residence should not be far from here, and is a two-and-a-half-story small villa.

However, Uchiha Hikaru originally thought that the Minato couple's property should have been disposed of after the Nine-Tails Rebellion. Just like in the original timeline, the Uchiha station was also recovered by Konoha after the genocide. Unexpectedly, Still retained. And Sarutobi Hiruzen chose this time to return the property deed and asked her to handle it as "Minato's trusted friend"...

What means?

Could it be that he was afraid that after he moved back to the Uchiha Clan's headquarters, he would gradually change his position and start to oppose Konoha, so he used this method to retain her?

Well...it's very possible.

Uchiha Hikari didn't think much, he collected the property deed first and planned to go back to the group to ask Minato Namikaze for his opinion.

Turn around.

He saw Naruto standing at the door of the kitchen, his head lowered, looking a little lost.

"Sister Guang, are you...really moving out?"

"?"

Uchiha Hikaru was startled for a moment, and then smiled: "Did you hear what we just said? Well, I do have this intention, but it is mainly for personal reasons, not because I hate you. Don't worry, I will make time to come back later Look, you can come and find me...if I'm in the village."

——But Naruto probably won't be able to enter a place like the Uchiha Clan's residence, because the ANBU will definitely stop him. What if the Uchiha tribe attacked the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki?

"..."

Naruto still lowered his head and said nothing.

Uchiha Hikaru rubbed his golden head and exhaled lightly: "Okay, why are you so sentimental at such a young age? I have never seen you like this before. I have to go out first. If I can come back before the afternoon If so, I’ll take you out to buy something.”

After hearing this, Naruto nodded: "Oh... Then I'll wait at home!"

After a few brief explanations.

Uchiha Hikaru put on his coat and walked out of the house.

Then he jumped down from the corridor on the second floor and rushed towards the security force building.

…

at the same time.

Hokage's office.

"Jiraiya, what do you think?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had walked here in silence, sat down at his desk, picked up his pipe and took a few puffs before looking up at the man next to him.

"..."

Jiraiya, who was also silent all the way, stood there with his arms folded. He did not answer immediately, but glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen with a slightly complicated expression: "Old man, what you told me about her before The information is indeed correct, right?"

"……you mean?"

"It's about the fact that this girl came from the Warring States Period more than a hundred years ago. She was trained as a weapon by the Uchiha clan, and was sealed by the original Senju clan..."

Jiraiya rubbed his chin: "Although it was the first time I met her, the feeling she gave me... was very unique. She didn't look like an Uchiha at all. Especially someone who was born more than a hundred years ago and was once a member of the same clan. The Uchiha people who were enslaved.”

Jiraiya was born after the village was founded in Konoha.

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen was earlier, he was also at the end of the Warring States Period.

Their understanding of the Warring States Period comes mostly from fragmentary records in ancient books and word-of-mouth from elders in the family - especially a certain Hokage of the Senju Clan who wishes to remain anonymous. From these information, we can probably outline the appearance of the Uchiha clan——

Sensitive, extreme, crazy, unruly...

But in Uchiha Hikaru, it seems that only the "unruly" aspect can be seen, and in other aspects...at best, you can only see a little blurry shadow, but the degree is so light that it cannot be called a trait at all.

Her appearance is quite Uchiha, she is a very pretty girl, and her temperament is also a plus...but these are not within the scope of regular discussions.

Overall, she is even more normal than most people in the Leaf Village who were born in the past twenty years.

Especially those words about "The Will of Fire"...

It even made Sarutobi Hiruzen feel shaken.

Thinking back to the things that happened in Konoha over the years - White Fang, Rope Tree, Orochimaru, Hyuga Hizashi, Danzo... and the Uchiha who was about to become a demon...

Is it really that the direction of the "Will of Fire" was wrong?

Then what have I been protecting with my diligence for decades?

Sarutobi Hiruzen clenched his palms, a little afraid to let himself continue thinking.

Jiraiya was also thinking.

To him, Namikaze Minato was not only a talented disciple, but also the "child of prophecy" that he had been looking for for decades and had once determined. It was just that the Nine-Tails Rebellion more than four years ago made his fantasy future become a bubble. But now...

If Uchiha Hikari knew Namikaze Minato, then would the ideas she said today be formed under the influence of Minato?

Or...

The person mentioned in the prophecy of the Great Toad Sage who could change the entire ninja world was not Minato, but this Uchiha clan Warring States girl who was once buried deep underground and was just unearthed not long ago?

But with my seniority, I am not qualified to accept her as my apprentice, right?

Besides, shouldn’t she be the “Daughter of Destiny”…

Jiraiya scratched his head, a little confused about whether to take time to go back to Myoboku Mountain to ask.

After a moment of silence.

Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke again: “Jiraiya, when you were at Naruto’s house just now, did you feel a breath similar to Minato’s ‘Flying Thunder God’?”
