Chapter 145 Sasuke returns, Uchiha Hikaru joins Konoha

"Yagyu, you came to see me!"

After Yagyu left the Hokage's office, he did not return to Tanshu Street, but appeared in a wilderness with a bonfire.

Seeing Yagyu appearing next to her, Sakura, who was having dinner with Naruto and Kakashi Hatake grilled fish, immediately threw herself into his arms with a look of surprise on her face.

"Ah...I suddenly missed you, so I came to see you."

Yagyu held Sakura who was rubbing against him, then looked at Hatake Kakashi and Naruto who were joking, and asked with a smile: "Are you going out on a mission this time, or what?"

"We're looking for Sasuke."

Naruto's eyes were a little dim, but he soon shouted full of energy: "We received information from Uncle Tazuna. After Sasuke broke up with Orochimaru, he appeared in the Land of Waves with two people, and he also talked with people there. There was a fight and Momochi Zabuza’s decapitating sword was taken away. We are going to the Land of Waves to see if we can find any traces left by Sasuke.”

"I see."

Yagyu was slightly enlightened and said with a smile: "Then you don't have to go, just go back to Konoha."

"Eh? What do you mean?"

Naruto was slightly startled, while Kakashi Hatake's eyes flashed.

"Literally."

Yagyu smiled and said slowly: "Uchiha Sasuke has succeeded in revenge. He almost died with Uchiha Itachi, and then I rescued him. In two days, I will bring him back to Konoha."

"Really?"

Naruto immediately stood up and ran to Yagyu, pushed Sakura away, grabbed Yagyu's shoulders, and said excitedly: "Yagyu, you didn't lie to me, did you? Sasuke succeeded in revenge, and he is willing to return to Konoha. This Is it true?"

"Naruto, you bastard, get out of here!"

Before Yagyu could reply, Naruto was picked up by the back of his collar and his body was thrown away.

Fortunately, Sakura did not awaken her second personality, otherwise Naruto would not have been thrown away, but would have been punched or kicked away.

After throwing Naruto away, Sakura lay in Yagyu's arms again, her expression equally excited, but more curious, and she couldn't help but ask: "Yagyu, how did you find Sasuke?"

This is what Hatake Kakashi is curious about.

Now think about it carefully, when Uchiha Sasuke was able to successfully defect to Orochimaru, it is very likely that Yagyu deliberately did not capture him.

After all, Yagyu might have been stronger than him back then.

With that kind of strength, it's impossible not to be able to chase back an Uchiha Sasuke.

And Yagyu's next words also proved Hatake Kakashi's guess.

I saw Yagyu touching Sakura's head and said with a smile: "Because I have been paying attention to you! When you were looking for Sasuke last year, I secretly followed you many times, and then found Sasuke in advance. He encountered Orochimaru and wanted to seize Sasuke's body in advance, but failed in the end. "

"At that time, I originally wanted to invite Sasuke back to the village, but unfortunately, Sasuke refused."

"Because he is an Avenger, and he turned to Orochimaru to gain powerful power. He cannot return to Konoha before killing Itachi Uchiha."

"So during that meeting, I secretly left a mark on Sasuke's body just to ensure Sasuke's safety."

"Now that he has avenged his great revenge and owes me his life, he will naturally not refuse to return to Konoha with me under the steps I gave him."

"……I see!"

Sakura and Naruto were suddenly enlightened. The former was even more touched because of the words 'I've always been paying attention to you', and looked at Yagyu with affection.

Only Hatake Kakashi was thoughtful.

What Yagyu said was perfect and very reasonable.

But as a rational ninja, Hatake Kakashi felt something was wrong. He always felt that it was not that simple.

Before he could think about it, Yagyu's next words made Team 7's expression suddenly change.

"By the way, something big happened in Konoha just now."

Yagyu said solemnly: "An unknown enemy has cast a large-scale curse on Konoha. The Konoha elders, the Sarutobi clan, the Shimura clan, the Mitomon clan, the Tensho clan, and the root organization of the Shimura elders, Everyone was killed by a remote curse and turned into ashes.”

"What?!"

Naruto suddenly looked shocked and said, "What about Konohamaru and Asuma-sensei? Are they okay?"

"Not sure."

Yagyu shook his head and said: "I also learned about it just after returning to Konoha. This curse only targets the Konoha elders, the four major ninja clans, and the root organization, and is limited to Konoha. It is said that members outside , none of them were cursed."

Hearing this, Naruto's face turned pale instantly, he already knew the result.

Only for the area of ​​Konoha, that is to say, something happened to Konohamaru.

"Do you know who the murderer is?"

As soon as Hatake Kakashi said it, he felt that he had asked a stupid question, and quickly changed his words and asked: "Who is the biggest suspect?"

"It should be Beiliuhu."

Yagyu said slowly: "I heard from Lord Hokage that before the large-scale curse killing, a pattern similar to the Mangekyō Sharingan appeared on the moon in the sky, but this pattern is not Uchiha Itachi's, nor is it your pattern Kakashi-sensei. , let alone Sasuke, then there is only one possibility... It is the Akatsuki organization's Hiroyuki who changed his name to the Hundred Faces and obtained the Mangekyou Sharingan, and he is the only one who has a deep hatred with the Konoha elders. "

"The moon has changed?"

Sakura looked up at the silver moon and said in surprise: "No, we haven't noticed any changes in the moon."

"If you can see it here, then this curse-killing technique is a bit scary." Yagyu rubbed her hair and said, "Only the moon above Konoha should have changed. This is also the case when they are out on a mission. The main reason why the members of the four major ninja clans were able to escape."

"Anyway, you don't have to go to the Country of Waves. Just go back to Konoha."

After finishing speaking, Yagyu waved to Naruto and said, "Naruto, come here."

Naruto, who was in sadness, subconsciously came to Yagyu.

Yagyu stood up and put his hand on Naruto's shoulder, his palm shining with blue light.

After a few seconds, Yagyu retracted his palm and took out a small bottle filled with green liquid.

Inside the bottle, there is an eyeball with a red pupil and a black dart pattern.

"Naruto, look into this eye."

Yagyu shook the bottle in front of Naruto, and the sound brought Naruto back to reality.

"Woooo..."

When Naruto looked at the eyeballs inside the bottle, his eyes suddenly widened and a strong feeling of vomiting came to his heart.

Immediately, his throat really bulged, as if something was coming up.

Soon, Naruto's cheeks bulged, and then he opened his mouth and spit out a black object.

When the black object appeared, it turned out to be a crow.

It's just that this crow's left eye is different from other crows, but a Mangekyo Sharingan with four-pointed shurikens.

Before the crow could fly to Naruto's shoulder and activate the transcription seal in his eyes, his body was grabbed by a hand.

Immediately afterwards, the crow lost its voice, and the left-eye god implanted in it fell into Yagyu's hands and was put into a new potion bottle.

"This is……"

Class 7 was shocked by this scene.

"This is Uchiha Itachi's back-up plan specifically to target Sasuke."

Yagyu explained briefly, and then asked Team 7: "Do you need me to take you back to Konoha?"

"Yagyu, can you take us to see Sasuke?" Naruto came to his senses and couldn't help but ask.

"No, both Sasuke and you need time to relax." Yagyu shook his head and refused.

"Then send us back."

Hatake Kakashi said with a solemn expression: "With such a big event happening in Konoha, our place may be needed."

"Hmm... I hope Asuma-sensei is okay."

Sakura made a praying gesture.

What she cared about was not Asuma Sarutobi, but Ino.

If Sarutobi Asuma also dies, I believe Team 10 will be very sad.

"Okay, come over then."

Yagyu put one arm around Sakura's shoulders and put the other on Naruto's shoulders.

After Hatake Kakashi also put his hand on Naruto's shoulder, the four figures disappeared out of thin air without any warning.

——————

Two days later, Konoha's gate.

"Lord Yagyu, welcome back."

"U...Uchiha Sasuke?!"

Today it was their turn to be on duty again, Shenyue Izumo and Gang Zitie. They first greeted Yagyu respectfully, and then quickly registered the three of them.

But when they saw Uchiha Sasuke's signature, they were slightly stunned, and then looked at Uchiha Sasuke with wide eyes.

Uchiha Sasuke handed the pen to Yagyu expressionlessly, and Yagyu bent down to teach Uchiha Hikari how to sign and register.

"U...Uchiha Hikari?"

Seeing another Uchiha Izumo Kamizuki and Gang Zitie, they couldn't help but open their mouths in shock.

"Thank you for your hard work. I will take Sasuke and Hikari to report to the Hokage."

Yagyu returned the pen to the two of them, and walked into Konoha with Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Hikari.

Uchiha Hikaru, who had already seen the bustling Tanshu Street, was not as curious as a country man entering the city.

To her, nothing else matters except Yagyu.

So she just held Yagyu's little hand like a well-behaved sister.

However, this combination still attracts a lot of attention.

It’s so inconsistent!

Because Uchiha Hikari and Uchiha Sasuke are so similar, you can tell at a glance that they are either relatives or clan members.

But instead of holding Uchiha Sasuke's hand, she held Yagyu's palm.

Of course, there are also a lot of female eyes focused on Yagyu and Uchiha Sasuke.

If some people hadn't already recognized Yagyu, they might not be able to help but flock to them and take the initiative to strike up a conversation with Yagyu and Uchiha Sasuke.

There is no way, Yagyu and Uchiha Sasuke are too good-looking.

And unlike Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara when Konoha was first established, Uchiha Sasuke does not have a bad reputation in Konoha and will not enjoy the feared treatment of Uchiha Madara.

A combination of handsome men who are as gentle as the sun and as cold as an iceberg is simply killing all women.

Even some young girls cast hostile glances at Uchiha Hikaru, who was able to hold Yagyu's little hand.

Fortunately, there was no murderous intention, otherwise Uchiha Hikari would be alert and throw a genjutsu at him.

Taking Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Hikari into the Hokage Building, Yagyu and the other three soon appeared in front of Tsunade.

In the Hokage's office, Tsunade crossed her arms and looked at Uchiha Sasuke with a serious face. From time to time, she glanced at Uchiha Hikaru next to Yagyu, as if she was examining the two of them.

But soon, a smile appeared on her face and she said to Uchiha Sasuke: "Sasuke, welcome back."

"Thank you for your tolerance, Hokage-sama."

Uchiha Sasuke bowed slightly to Tsunade.

If it were anyone else, the S-class rebellious ninja who had taken refuge in the village would definitely be included in the list of rebellious ninjas.

But Tsunade did not define him as a traitorous ninja, which allowed Uchiha Sasuke not to be hunted by Konoha ninjas and bounty hunters outside, and he could return to Konoha at any time.

So this thank you really comes from the bottom of his heart.

"No need to thank me. If you want to thank me, just thank Class 7."

Tsunade shook her head and said: "They have been waiting for your return. Even now, they have not disbanded Team 7. They were still looking for you everywhere some time ago."

Hearing this, Uchiha Sasuke couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart, and various memories from the past appeared in his mind.

The reason why he went back to the village with Yagyu so quickly was not only because he wanted to repay Yagyu, but also because of his bond with Team 7.

So, Uchiha Sasuke nodded and said, "I will apologize to them."

"That's good, we can start it completely after the seventh shift."

Tsunade also had a smile on her face, and then asked curiously: "I heard from Yagyu that you have awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan. Can you let me take a look?"

"Can."

Uchiha Sasuke, who had reviewed the script with Yagyu in the past two days, readily opened the Mangekyō Sharingan with a six-pointed star pattern.

Seeing that the pattern of Uchiha Sasuke's Mangekyo Sharingan was indeed what Yagyu said, not the three-wheeled crescent moon that night, Tsunade nodded, completely ruling out Uchiha Sasuke's suspicion.

Immediately, her eyes came to Uchiha Hikari next to Yagyu, and asked again: "Yagyu, who is this little girl?"

"Her name is Uchiha Hikari, and she is a wandering Uchiha."

Yagyu said cryptically: "She has been 'imprisoned' by Uchiha Itachi all these years, and it was Sasuke and I who rescued her."

Upon hearing this, Tsunade understood everything instantly.

Obviously, this girl is the last clan member that Itachi Uchiha has been protecting.

Uchiha Sasuke was not dissatisfied either.

Although the blame for the Uchiha clan's demise lies with the top brass of Konoha.

But it is also true that Uchiha Itachi personally killed his parents and clan members.

For this crime, even if Yagyu was willing to clear Uchiha Itachi's name, Uchiha Sasuke would not agree.

Uchiha Sasuke, who had killed his entire family of enemies, was relieved and let go.

Let Uchiha Itachi continue to bear this crime, and let Uchiha Hikari join Konoha legitimately.

This is his final contribution!

Tsunade, who knew that Uchiha Itachi was a spy sent by Konoha to the Akatsuki organization, didn't ask any more questions, nor did she doubt that the genocide that night was carried out by a girl who was only slightly older than Hanabi.

So with Uchiha Itachi's secret endorsement and Yagyu's guarantee, Uchiha Hikaru successfully joined Konoha.
