Chapter 167: Unwelcome! Kanon and Jiraiya meet again!!

Konoha Village.

The old site of Uchiha.

Hanane walked out of the flower area and as soon as she stepped onto the ground of the Uchiha clan, some dust was raised. It seemed that it had not been cleaned for many years.

In the past, the Uchiha clan's residence was located here, and Kanon often ran back and forth on this road when she was a child.

The overlapping eaves are looming in the morning mist, like a fairyland. In the center of the tribe's land is a majestic ancestral hall with exquisite totems carved on it.

It tells the glory and secrets of the family. The clan members gather here to discuss affairs and maintain the stability of Konoha Village.

Today, those once bustling streets have long been deserted, the stone roads are covered with thick moss, and the hustle and bustle of the past has been replaced by silence.

The doors and windows of the house are dilapidated, left to be eroded by wind and rain. The former glory is gone, and only the mottled walls remain to tell of the glory of the Uchiha clan in the past.

The gate of the ancestral hall was closed. The two stone lions in front of the gate were still majestic, but they were entangled by vines and looked a little desolate.

The torches of the past have been extinguished, and the light that once illuminated the path of the Uchiha clan can now only be found in memory.

Behind the Uchiha clan's territory is a dense bamboo forest. When the wind blows, the bamboo leaves rustle, as if whispering the secrets of the past.

The forest paths are covered with weeds, and occasionally a few small animals shuttle through them, exploring this forgotten territory.

Kanon followed the winding forest and came to the cliff where she and Naruto once sat, and found that the weeds on the cliff had been trimmed recently.

"Has that guy been here?" Hanane shook her head helplessly.

At the foot of the cliff, she placed a shuriken with her name engraved on it and nailed a kunai into the ground.

Hanane returned to the neighborhood of her home, the place where she used to greet some old grandfathers and grandmothers. Now, only broken walls remained, ruthlessly occupied by vines and weeds.

Finally, Hanane arrived at her home and looked at the dusty and dirty door. The stone lions in front of the door were covered with moss and had lost their former majesty. They were silent, as if mourning for the fate of their family.

Hua Yin also sighed softly, took out the key hidden in the flower domain space, and looked at the rusty door.

Sure enough, the lock had been replaced by the people of Konoha and could no longer be opened. Their own home now isolated its owner. Kanon only felt it was ironic.

She took a deep breath, walked through the door and came to the entrance. A stale air hit her in the face. It was dark and cold inside, and the light shone through the broken roof and sprinkled on the ground in patches.

"Hana, you're back? Remember to rinse your mouth first." Uchiha Mikoto's voice came.

Kanon was startled and looked up, but was surrounded by a feeling of emptiness. There was no one in front of her and all the furniture on the entrance had disappeared. It was probably confiscated by the people of Konoha.

The ground was also covered with dust and looked blurry.

Standing in this entrance that was once bustling but now silent and even without furniture, Hanane felt an indescribable sadness.

This is her home, her hometown, and everything she has tried so hard to protect.

Now, only memories and sadness are left, slowly disappearing in this corner forgotten by time.

Hanane walked through the entrance hall to the courtyard. The surrounding walls had collapsed, and the remaining walls were covered with cracks. The former courtyard was filled with dead leaves and broken branches, and the flowers and plants that had been carefully trimmed were now only left withered outlines.

Hanane's eyes wandered among these dilapidated scenes, and every piece of rubble evoked the pain deep in her heart.

This also strengthened his determination to seek revenge on Uchiha Itachi. Facing the bastard who killed his parents, forgetting the hatred is absolutely unforgivable!

Unconsciously, tears rolled down Kanon's eyes and her Mangekyō Sharingan opened automatically. Facing the empty home, a heart-wrenching pain made Kanon collapse weakly on the ground.

Thoughts and memories came flooding in, the silent air seemed to have frozen time, she closed her eyes, her heart filled with endless thoughts for her deceased parents.

In her memory, the serious yet warm face of her father Uchiha Fugaku appeared in her mind, and those deep eyes seemed to still be looking at her, full of expectation and reluctance.

Mother Uchiha Mikoto's smile is gentle and distant; her voice echoes in my ears, but can no longer touch the real world.

Kanon's heart was filled with pain and guilt, and her hands unconsciously covered her Sharingan, which was the most precious legacy her parents left her.

"Dad, Mom, Uchiha clan, I will complete my true revenge and personally send the madman who slaughtered the entire clan to you for judgment!"

After staying here for dozens of minutes, Kanon walked out of the Uchiha clan's territory. She naturally would not come to Konoha wearing an Akatsuki robe, although her delicate face and girlish figure made many Konoha villagers turn their heads to look at her.

But Kanon is still walking here. This time she returned to Konoha just to make the flame of her revenge more intense.

At this moment, what she needed was to calm down this hatred. Then Kanon continued to walk on the streets of Konoha. People passing by didn't pay attention to her, they just looked at her a few more times because they saw the beautiful girl.

Finally, Kanon arrived at Ichiraku Ramen.

"Well, it's been more than a year since I last ate Ichiraku Ramen." Kanon said as she also walked into Ichiraku Ramen.

As if they saw someone familiar, Ichiraku Ramen Shouda and her daughter Ayame were looking at Kanon in shock.

"Sister Ayame, have you forgotten me? It doesn't matter, give me some char siu and pork bone ramen." Kanon smiled at the two of them, then put the money on the table.

"Please go back. I don't sell ramen to the rebel ninja." He said to Kanon with a cold hand.

Hanane was stunned and looked at Shouda and Acorus with some surprise.

Acorus had a complicated expression, but didn't move.

"I'm going to report her to Konoha." He was about to move when he was stopped by Ayame.

"Dad, don't be impulsive."

Kanon was helpless. She looked at Uncle Ichiraku and Sister Ayame, who were once so happy, and now became like this. She shook her head helplessly and was about to get up and leave when she saw a figure walking in.

He had white hair and some words were written in oil on his forehead.

"Since you're here, why should you leave?" Jiraiya sat next to Kanon.

"It's nothing. It's the same no matter where I stay as long as I'm not welcomed." Hanane said lightly.

"Boss, two servings of ramen, please." Jiraiya said to his opponent.

"I won't sell it to a rebel ninja." Uncle Ichiraku turned away with a slight look of anger.

"Then have one, I'll eat it."

Kanon was confused. What was Jiraiya trying to do?

"Besides the Fifth Hokage Tsunade, there are no other ninjas watching me outside the ramen shop. What's going on?"

"Hahaha, let's wait until the surface comes up first."

"I can't eat it, so I just watch you eat, right?" Kanon said as she was about to get up, but at this moment Jiraiya pointed to the corner at the side, which was Uncle Ichiraku's blind spot.

"what?"

"Go sit there."

Kanon didn't say much and just sat over with Jiraiya.

Soon, Ayame placed the noodles in front of Jiraiya, looked at Kanon with a complicated expression, and left.

Jiraiya, however, pushed the noodle in front of Kanon and said with a chuckle.

"Eat."

Kanon was confused by Jiraiya's actions.

"Why are you giving it to me? Aren't you hungry?"

"Don't worry about it, just eat."

Kanon looked at the bowl of ramen with the same ingredients as when she was a child and was about to pick up her chopsticks when her hand was suddenly tapped.

Uncle Ichiraku tapped Kanon's hand with his chopsticks in dissatisfaction.

"You are not allowed to eat my ramen."

Kanon smiled helplessly and looked at Jiraiya who was embarrassed beside her.

"No, I don't want to eat it." Hua Yin said, putting the money for the bowl of noodles on the table, pulling open the door curtain and preparing to leave.

Jiraiya followed him out and took Kanon's hand.

"It's been a while since we've met, Master and Disciple. Although we can't eat ramen, we can still eat something else."

"Don't take me to peek into some women's bathhouse under the pretext of eating." Hanane rolled her eyes.

"No, no, wait for me."

A minute later, Jiraiya came over with a popsicle that could be split into two halves. He broke the popsicle open and handed it to Kanon.

"give to me?"

"Take it and eat it." Jiraiya and Kanon sat on the chair together.

"What's your purpose for returning to Konoha this time?"

"No, I went home and checked." Hanane told the truth without hiding anything.

"Didn't Akatsuki send you to Konoha on some secret mission?"

"No, you lecherous immortal, you can't dig out any useful information from me, so just give up."

"Then why are you going home? If you miss your hometown, just come back." Jiraiya smiled and stretched out his hand to Kanon, but Kanon slapped his hand away.

"How can a place be considered a hometown without family? I really came back this time just to go home and visit."

"Do you really have no other purpose for coming back this time?" Jiraiya looked at Kanon in disbelief.

"No." Kanon shook her head. She couldn't possibly tell Jiraiya that she was going to fight Uchiha Itachi to death. There was no point or need for that.

After eating an ice lolly, Hanane gave a sincere smile to her cheap master in front of her.

"My dear immortal, I am so grateful for your cultivation of me." As soon as the words fell, Hua Yin was sucked into the rose vortex and disappeared from there.

Looking at Kanon's disappearance, Jiraiya was a little confused.

"Why are you suddenly being so serious?"

From the far wall, Tsunade walked out.

"It seems that you didn't get any information about Akatsuki?"

"Jiraiya, do you really believe that she just went home to visit?"

Jiraiya nodded slightly.

"Her expression didn't seem to lie. This time when she came to Konoha, she didn't kill anyone, and she had no intention of doing anything. Maybe that's the case."

"By the way, Tsunade, let's go back to the Hokage's office. I have information to share with you."

"Okay, let's go."

After Jiraiya and Tsunade left, the rose vortex slowly expanded and Kanon's body appeared here again.

She sat back in her original place, watching the sun reaching three o'clock, and murmured softly.

"Alas, you are not welcomed anywhere, Uchiha Kanon."
