Chapter 49

"It's okay. It's already happened. Whether you want to admit it or not, Obito sacrificed himself for us and the village. He is a hero."

Before the tears had dried, a bright smile appeared on Nohara Rin's face. She smiled and asked jokingly.

"What about you? Following the legendary Sannin, you must have learned some very powerful ninjutsu. I'll ask you to protect me when the time comes, Anko."

""Wahahaha, I, Red Bean, have learned some powerful ninjutsu from teacher Orochimaru, so protecting you is a piece of cake."

Red Bean, who was about to sit down, looked at the ramen bowl beside her, a trace of suspicion flashed in her eyes, and she subconsciously sniffed hard. A hint of the fragrance of grass and trees that was about to dissipate immediately caught Red Bean's attention.

"Hello, Lin,......Could the guy sitting in this position be Uchiha Kagetsu?"

"Yes, because I want to ask Kagetsu about Obito, so......."

Bang!

Lin jumped up like a frightened rabbit, and saw Hongdou gritting his teeth, with a look of helplessness between his brows.

"That guy���I don’t know whether to say he is a blockhead or a bastard. He looks at me as if I’m an idiot and keeps giving me perfunctory answers. I can’t understand what that bastard is thinking. Damn it!"

"Calm down, Red Bean, calm down......"

At this moment, Lin couldn't help but recall that gentle smiling face in her mind. She looked at that face full of worries, thinking.

"Can you tell at a glance?"

Two flowers bloom, each with its own beauty.

Deep underground in the mountain cemetery, inside a hidden chamber blocked by rocks.

Obito, who is desperately recovering, has expectations in his eyes, full of hope and imagination, as if he can't wait to return to the village.

‘Wait! Sharingan can only exert its true power when a pair of them are gathered. As long as Kakashi and I join forces, we can protect the village, everyone, and Rin. You must wait for me, Kakashi!

The fighting spirit in his eyes never disappeared. Obito actively moved his muscles that were slightly atrophied due to lying in bed, but the words of the weird old man rang in his ears again.

"It's useless. If you don't break this chain of hatred, even if you can leave, everything will be in vain. The hatred of the ninja will not stop with the end of the war. With countless sacrifices, a new round of hatred chain will inevitably circulate......."

Obito shook his head helplessly. This weird old man who claimed to be Uchiha Madara was saying these incomprehensible words again. Besides, he knew all the old men and women of the Uchiha clan. The guy in front of him was most likely a traitor from Konoha.

Although he relied on him to survive, sooner or later he would have to return to Konoha. Although he could not repay the other party for saving his life, which made him feel very guilty, he still had to return to his companions to make himself feel at ease.

The guilt in his heart and the desire to leave could not hide from Uchiha Madara's eyes. Although his body was old and he was on the verge of death twice, his eyes that saw through the darkness were still bright.

In the middle of the night, everything was silent, and the new White Zetsu emerged from the ground

"Madara-sama, Uchiha Kagetsu has returned to Konoha Village, what should we do?"

Ahem.......

The old body, the cloudy and weak eyes, were like the spots of a candle in the wind. There was silence for a long time, and there was no sound for a while. After a long time, he murmured in a low voice.

"It's just a pair of self-enclosed eyes. Although there are occasionally such low-probability ghosts, the difference between them and my real eyes is as great as the distance between heaven and earth, not even half as good as mine."

"Unfortunately, after more than a hundred years and history, I can only linger on, but this is only a temporary silence. When I wake up from my long sleep, it will all end."

When he got excited, Uchiha Madara coughed. His old figure could not support the insignificant ambition to lead to true peace in his eyes.

"The age of ninjas will end with my own hands!"

When he was excited, veins popped out from his old arms that were as thin as dead branches.......No, it was the Uchiha laughter that started with Madara that reappeared

"Yes, Madara-sama, in addition to Uchiha Kagetsu, we also found out that this guy's most valued and cherished children and opponents, Nohara Rin and Hatake Kakashi......"

At the same time, in Konoha Village, after the dumpling shop that closed the latest in Konoha Village closed, Lin looked at Hongdou who was eating hundreds of skewers of various dumplings and drinking red bean soup. She was so shocked that she couldn't speak.

"That bastard, he was perfunctory to Orochimaru, but he was also perfunctory to me, and he didn't even think about who was his first friend, who took the initiative to take him to skip class when he was criticized by the teacher."

Hongdou was still chattering, but Kelin was embarrassed and subconsciously looked up at the sky

‘If I come home so late, I will definitely be scolded. But Hongdou is like this, it's too late.......’

"Um, Hongdou, it's getting late. We have a mission tomorrow. I'm sorry, I have to leave first."

Until Lin ran into the corner without looking back, Hongdou finally realized what was happening and stomped her feet and shouted.

"What a disloyal guy! Is this how you treat your best friend?! Asshole, one or two of them are like this......Well, what's the point of going home? There's no one there anyway......."

The moonlight was hazy and the stars were shining.

Unconsciously, Hongdou wandered aimlessly on the street. When she raised her head again, she saw the abandoned Huayue Garden, which had been neglected and overgrown with weeds.

"here it is......"

Standing in front of the door, Hongdou hesitated for a long time and slowly pushed the door open. The slightly old wooden door was not locked.

Inside the entrance, looking to the end, the dim candlelight in the living room made her curious.

‘It's so late, isn't that guy still asleep? '

The shadow behind the door, the transparent ribbon hidden in the dark quietly approached, and Hongdou was suddenly frightened. He raised his right hand, and the pythons flew out like swords.

"Shadow Snake Hand!"

"Nine-faced Subaha Goddess."

After a short standoff, Hongdou, who was tied up like a zongzi, was thrown to the floor by the goddess. Just as she was about to use the rope-breaking technique to break free, a familiar voice interrupted Hongdou's action.

"Really, I thought it was a bug from the Anbu or the police force, but it turned out to be a little snake that likes red bean soup and meatballs. Even you should at least respect personal privacy."

"How many times have I told you to ring the doorbell?"

"You bastard Huayue, you already knew I was coming, didn't you?......That's not what I want to hear."

Hongdou argued, her clear brown eyes slightly disappointed, she looked up and saw that handsome face with a hint of teasing and smile.

"Really? Well, welcome back, Hongdou. Do you want to eat first? Or take a shower first? Or........."

"Wait, what do you want to do? No, I'm wrong, nooooooooooooo......"
