Chapter 8: I got up and saw Uchiha Madara!

It has been more than four years since the Nine-Tails Rebellion.

As he gets older, Sarutobi Hiruzen no longer has the endless energy he had when he was young. Even handling the most basic work such as government affairs has gradually made him feel exhausted. Especially recently, there are two things that make him particularly worried.

One is from outside the village.

Because the Fourth Hokage and Kushina died early, the three ninjas left one after another. The Hidden Cloud Village smelled the weakness of Konoha and began to become restless.

The other thing came from the village-

According to various intelligence reports, there are voices of dissatisfaction with the top leaders within the Uchiha clan, and they are getting more and more intense. The attitude of the security forces in daily law enforcement has also become more and more harsh, which has caused dissatisfaction among many people.

If the situation continues to deteriorate, it is likely that some bad situations will occur, shaking the foundation of the entire village.

"Hey, I hope Fugaku can see the situation clearly and make the right choice..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed and took out the crystal ball from the drawer: "Let's take a look at the little guy Naruto. I haven't seen him for a while, and I don't know how he is doing recently."

He formed a seal and began to perform the telescope technique.

Then...

He saw the commercial street where Naruto was, and the figure standing next to the little yellow-haired boy, wearing Warring States style clothes, with red eyes and black hair like a hedgehog. Even through a layer of crystal, he could feel the arrogant momentum coming towards him, which looked very much like a figure deep in Sarutobi Hiruzen's memory.

"What is this?!"

For a moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned, and his dim old eyes opened as wide as possible.

He was shocked, and saw Uchiha Madara!

But soon, he reacted--

No.

Although the temperament is very similar, the age and gender are wrong.

Besides, Uchiha Madara was killed by the first generation Hokage in the Battle of the Valley of the End, and it is impossible for him to live until now.

So... when did the Uchiha clan have such a person? Being able to open the three-magatama Sharingan at this age, he is obviously a genius. Why has Shisui never mentioned this to him? Who allowed her to contact the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki? What does the Uchiha want to do? !

A series of doubts made Sarutobi Hiruzen feel bad.

"Third-generation sir!"

The door of the office was pushed open.

The burly and tall Anbu wearing a gorilla mask strode in: "This matter needs to be reported to you...

"Let's talk about it tomorrow, I have some other work to deal with first..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen has stood up from his desk and is ready to put on his clothes and go out to see.

But the Anbu still insisted: "But father, this matter is very important! Just last night, the Ibiki detachment discovered an explosion in the Aoki Forest on the north side of the village, and encountered and fought with an unknown enemy... According to the confirmation of the sealing team, there are also scrolls hidden by the Senju clan. It can be basically confirmed that it is the place where an Uchiha clan member was sealed during the Warring States Period! "

"When you are outside, you must call Hokage-sama!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen paused, looked back at Sarutobi Shinnosuke who was following behind him, corrected him first, and then asked: "What did you say just now, Uchiha from the Warring States period?"

"Yes, more accurate information has not been found yet, but judging from the seal specifications restored at the scene, she is likely to have the same eyes as Uchiha Madara back then, which is why she is treated so carefully..."

While Shinnosuke was speaking, Sarutobi Hiruzen turned around abruptly and looked at the crystal ball on the table.

The figure that looked like Uchiha Madara just now...

Could it be her?!

...

"Do you need help? "

In front of the store.

Uchiha Hikaru asked again.

Naruto stared blankly at the scene in front of him without answering, and then she grabbed his wrist and pulled him up, and then gently patted the dust off his body.

When doing this action, Uchiha Hikaru didn't have any special thoughts, just did it casually.

But Naruto was suddenly stunned, and tears suddenly welled up in his big blue eyes. Even if he wiped them hard, he couldn't stop the tears from flowing out: "Thank you, thank you..."

"...Why are you crying? If you get dust in your eyes, I won't help you wipe it."

Uchiha Hikaru wiped the wound on Naruto's hand with his sleeve, then turned around and looked at the passers-by opposite:

"You guys, go pick up the money on the ground. ”

The parents of the half-grown child and two Anbu were kneeling on the ground, trembling all over, as if they had seen something extremely terrifying. To deal with ninjas of this level, Uchiha Hikari didn't even need to make a big move. A "Naraku-sighting Technique" in the three-magatama state was enough to make them lose their ability to move.

This action also exposed the fact that she had the Sharingan.

"Those eyes... She is from the Uchiha clan!"

"The Uchiha clan actually attacked the Anbu. Are they really going to..."

"Hurry up and pick up the money. She is looking over here! "

Under the threat of murderous intent, these passers-by felt their legs and feet weakened, and even had difficulty walking. Finally, someone took the lead, and the others barely mustered up the courage to collect the coins scattered around them, and a ninja wearing a Konoha forehead protector tremblingly handed them to Uchiha Hikari.

After she took it, these people retreated to the surroundings one by one, and ran away even rolling and crawling.

(By the way... did I accelerate the conflict between Uchiha and Konoha?)

Uchiha Hikaru blinked.

But she didn't think much about it, turned around and stuffed the money back into Naruto's hand, and said softly: "Put it away, this is your stuff."

"By the way, you wanted to buy that mask just now, right?"

As Uchiha Hikaru raised his head, the owner of the toy store began to chatter, and hurriedly brought a bunch of masks from the store, and said carefully: "You, you can take any one you like..."

"Naruto?"

Uchiha Hikaru tilted his head slightly.

The little yellow-haired boy remembered his original purpose, looked at her hesitantly, then looked at the owner, and pointed at the fox mask on the top with his hand that was not bleeding. Then he counted a few coins from his arms and handed them over: "This is three times the price we agreed on just now..."

"..."

The owner didn't dare to take it, and looked at Uchiha Hikaru as if begging for mercy.

Uchiha Hikaru picked up a 500-yuan note from Naruto's hand and threw it over, saying casually, "Don't give me the extra change."

"This money..."

The shopkeeper subconsciously wanted to speak, but then swallowed the word "not enough" under Uchiha Hikaru's kind eyes.

This side.

Uchiha Hikaru watched Naruto put away the mask and money before pulling him away.

Two rustling footsteps moved forward along the stone road.

Naruto looked back several times, and then secretly looked at Uchiha Hikaru a few times. After walking a distance, he looked up at her carefully, "Sister, why... are you helping me?"
