Chapter 232

"So... you ran away from home?"

Itachi shook his head first, then nodded.

His mother helped him pack his things, and his father threw the bag out for him.

So he ran away from home!

Uchiha Makoto gave Shisui a look that said "you can do whatever you want" and let him experience it himself!

After dinner, Uchiha Makoto ignored Shisui and Itachi, the two little brats, and came to Orochimaru's former mansion alone.

The courtyard of the mansion was still as simple as before, but it looked a lot more desolate without the guards.

After arriving at the underground laboratory, except for some useless experimental materials that were destroyed, there was no important thing to see, and the entire laboratory was just an empty shell.

"It seems that Orochimaru has moved the laboratory away. What a pity, it seems that this legacy cannot be inherited."

Just as he was about to leave, he sensed a person appearing in the yard.

"Long time no see, Minato."

He and Minato have a friendship, but not a deep one. They are strangers, but they admire each other.

Both are disciples of the Three Ninjas, one is a civilian genius ninja, and the other is a family genius ninja.

The wind blows the lonely tree branches in the yard, swaying, and a few sparrows have already flown away. The warm morning sun shines on the side faces of the two.

In the ninja world during the war, this moment really gave the two a short and quiet time.

Recalling the past, they were also able to talk and laugh here, but now all the purity of the past has been removed.

The flying thoughts were pulled back by the cry of a crow. Minato's face was less dazzling like the sun, and more majestic and calm.

"Zhen Jun, I have been waiting for you here for a long time."

Uchiha Zhen was slightly stunned and found a place to sit down casually.

"Orochimaru defected from human experiment. I think you were also involved in it. So I thought if you come back one day, you will definitely come back here. So I proposed that Hokage keep everything here."

"Minato, are you going to arrest me?" Uchiha Zhen's mouth kept a wicked arc, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

Minato also found a place to sit down.

"From my point of view, I can't let you continue to stay in the village. From a friend's perspective, I hope you can come back. After all... you are such a talented and idealistic ninja.

"If you can become Hokage, I believe you will be as great a ninja as the first generation Hokage. "

As soon as the voice fell, Uchiha Makoto covered half of his face, his hair flowed out from his fingers, and a crazy and sharp laugh suddenly sounded.

After a long time, he rubbed the tears from the corners of his eyes and returned to his original state.

"Konoha was originally conquered by Uchiha and Senju together, but now... Why should I, Uchiha, be like Senju, but you are wrong about one thing..."

Uchiha Makoto's eyes gradually softened, and continued: "Uchiha will never become Hokage, Minato, your affinity is innate, and you don't need to pretend at all. It's only a matter of time before you become a Hokage. You come to me for a simple chat, right?"

"Do you still remember this?" Minato took out half of an artificially bent branch, with traces of wear and tear on both ends. "This was found during World War II when the entire Hyuga team was killed. "

"I learned later that everyone suspected that it was Danzo who did it, but... not long after you left, I found clues when I was cleaning up the torture department. It was you who did it, right!"

Uchiha Zhen remembered that he was still so weak at that time.

"You can't say that. The mantis stalks the cicada, and the oriole is behind. I just became the oriole."

Minato clenched his fist, and the branch was broken instantly. He continued: "The missing ninjas in the village, including... your former teammate Hyuga Yuan, also died in your hands. Zhenjun, as long as you don't admit it yourself, I don't believe that you did such a heartless thing."

"Are you coming back this time to destroy Konoha again?"

Facing Minato's accusation, Uchiha Zhen yawned and leaned lazily against the door frame, "Heartless? Haha, I won't dirty my hands in such a dirty place. After all... this place is still useful. "

After saying that, Uchiha Makoto had an evil smile on his face, as if he was planning a huge conspiracy. Then, he disappeared in front of Minato as if his skin had peeled off.

After Uchiha Makoto disappeared, Minato covered his face and fell into confusion. After a long time, he appeared in the Hokage's office.

"Minato, you came at the right time. I just received news that the Water Country has attacked the Fire Country."

Minato was stunned. Uchiha Makoto had just returned, and the Mist Ninja attacked the Fire Country. Is it a coincidence?Is it right?

The Third Hokage looked very serious, "Konoha is under attack from all sides. Uchiha Makoto once brought great deterrence to the Mist Village. I want to send Uchiha to lead this battle."

Minato looked at the much older Hokage in front of him. His admiration for him faded a lot after the night of killing by Uchiha Makoto. After struggling for a moment, he reminded: "Hokage, Uchiha Makoto is back."

"Uchiha Makoto? Who else knows about this?"

The Third Hokage immediately became alert.

"I don't know if Fugaku-kun knows about it, but he didn't deliberately hide or reveal his identity this time. It seems... more like a traveler."

Now Minato had to admit that without Uchiha Makoto's interrogation department, it was much behind compared to the past, and the speed of obtaining intelligence was also greatly delayed.

"I think... sending Uchiha to fight will be put on hold this year, and let other teams go first."

The Third Hokage rubbed his temple tiredly, his voice seemed a little older, and he warned: "Don't let anyone know about this, especially the people in the Root, and you should pretend that you haven't seen him."

"How is Kakashi recently?"

"Kakashi's strength has stabilized at the level of Jonin, worthy of being the son of Senior Sakumo."

For this student, Minato was very pleased. Except for being a little stubborn, his strength and talent were outstanding among his peers.

The Third Hokage nodded with satisfaction and said: "After the New Year, promote him to Jonin!"

Minato agreed happily, and disappeared in the Hokage office building with the mission.

On the other side.

Uchiha Makoto watched Shisui and Itachi training. The two were equally talented, and they could put their knowledge into practice with a little guidance.

However, Itachi's character is unknown. Is it because Uchiha Fugaku thought too much when he created him, so that now at such a young age, he thinks more than a teenage girl.

"Shisui, come here."

Hearing Uchiha Makoto's call, Shisui stopped training and instantly came to the branch where Uchiha Makoto was sitting.

"Teacher, you are looking for me?"

Uchiha Makoto opened the Mangekyo and looked at him, forcing him to accept his thoughts and plans, and told him: "Do you know what to do in the future?"

Shisui's face wrinkled, full of struggle, slowly became calm, and finally accepted.

"The punishment of heaven, the final judgment, the teacher's will, is my will."

Under the tree, Uchiha Itachi tilted his head and stared at Shisui worriedly. He always felt that this foster father had done terrible things to Shisui.
