Chapter 445 Uchiha Pokes His Forehead X Kimimaro
Konoha, Hokage Building.
In the office, Qing Zhi stretched his back, it was time to get off work.
Unfortunately, a bird flew back out of the window with a letter tied to its feet. This was a message being delivered.
Qing Zhi untied the letter and found some code words written on it. It took him a while to understand the message.
The Corpse Pulse of Kirigakure Village were dissatisfied with the oppression of Kirigakure and suddenly attacked the village. Naturally, the result ended in failure, leaving the Corpse Pulse family in hiding.
"It's really troublesome. I've only been back for a few days."
Hearing this tone, Izumi seemed to think that her Hokage was about to leave the village again, so she couldn't help but ask.
She has never seen a village leader like this, always restless.
Aoki nodded slightly, explained a few words, and left, heading straight to the medical department and asking Tsunade to go home with him.
During dinner, Aokiji mentioned that he might be going out. Tsunade on the opposite side slowly put down her chopsticks, frowned and asked: "You have only been back for a few days, why are you going out again? Can't you stay with me more?"
"Well, something happened."
"What matters are worthy of you, the Hokage, taking action personally?" Tsunade asked reluctantly.
"no way."
Qingzhi said helplessly, he wanted to rush to Wuyin Village to get that kid.
If it weren't for Tsunade, she would be on the road now and wouldn't even eat this meal.
Tsunade suddenly said: "...Why did you want to kill the Daimyo at that time, even irrelevant people..."
Qingzhi was startled, wondering if Tsunade had noticed something, and explained with a smile: "Didn't I say it before? I am here to avenge the Third Hokage."
"Is this really like this? If this is the case, then there is no need to be so ruthless, or even directly seize the throne."
To some extent, Aokiji's behavior directly negated everything that Tsunade respected her grandfather.
"Those who have the ability will live there, and the only way is to eradicate the roots."
"..."
Seeing that Tsunade still didn't believe it, Aoji continued to tell some inside stories, such as the incident when he kidnapped the daimyo's son.
When Tsunade heard the news, she was shocked and said: "伱..."
"It's impossible to reconcile the daimyo and I, so we'll just have to do it."
Besides..."
"Besides?"
Aoki told the story of this meeting and the direct killing and threat of the Wind Country's daimyo: "It is precisely because I did things so ruthlessly that other countries were concerned, and the village can still remain as peaceful as it is now."
"..."
"If you don't want me to be like this, I can change it in the future..."
The matter has come to this, and Tsunade can say nothing more. Although Aokiji does extreme things, it is undeniable that he is indeed protecting the village in his own way: "Tell me honestly, what are you going to do next? Don't be like the one above." Hide me like that for the first time."
"All right……"
This time, Aokiji didn't hide it anymore: "I received news that due to the influence of the Blood Mist Policy in Kirigakure Village, the Blood Succession Border families are being squeezed out by the village. Some dissatisfied families even broke with the village and launched a coup."
In view of the bad case of Aokiji, Tsunade naturally assumed that Aokiji wanted to take advantage of the chaos to attack Kirigakure Village.
Qingzhi waved his hand quickly: "You misunderstood me, I just want to take the opportunity to discover some talents."
"?"
If the Kirigakure Village does this, the blood successor ninjas in the village will have no way to survive. What Aokiji has to do is to recruit these people directly. He informed Tsunade of this idea: "If you don't believe it, you can follow here."
"never mind……"
"?"
Tsunade looked into Aokiji's eyes: "I believe you."
The more Tsunade behaves like this, the more ashamed Aoji feels. Until now, he has concealed the truth about the Third Hokage from Tsunade.
"Speaking of which, do you know why Jiraiya hasn't returned to the village yet?" Tsunade wanted to see Jiraiya startled when he saw her.
"I don't know. It seems that I was deceived by the toad in Miaomu Mountain. I am now looking for the child of destiny." Aokiji was vague and prevaricated.
"Really..." Tsunade looked disappointed and asked eagerly, "How long will you be away this time?"
"decide as things go……"
Aokiji was very interested in Kimimaro's existence and decided to bring him back and give him to Tsunade for treatment.
"Oh well……"
"Then I'm leaving..."
Watching Aokiji leave, Tsunade was the only one left in the huge place, guarding her single room.
"Take a bath and relax..."
Tsunade muttered to herself, went to the bathroom to take a shower, returned to the room, lay on the bed for a while without falling asleep, left the bed, and got into the bed on the floor.
The two of them were in the same room, and they usually didn't sleep on the same bed. Tsunade slept on the bed, and Aokiji slept on the floor.
Qing Zhi's physical condition is such that the two of them are already married, but have not yet consummated their marriage.
When you are lonely late at night, people will inevitably have some wandering thoughts. In addition, Tsunade has also reached this age and said to herself: "Listening to Mikoto saying that kind of thing will hurt the first time, and it will be very painful later. Comfortable, will Aokiji and I be like this... Oh my God, what on earth am I talking about."
The next day, Tsunade woke up, washed briefly, changed clothes, went out to "go to work", and then said hello to the villagers passing by. She had become more and more accustomed to days like this.
As I was walking, I saw a familiar figure with short black hair.
Tsunade walked up quickly, patted the man's shoulder, and said hello: "Hey, good morning, Sister Shizune."
In the early morning, Shizune was startled: "Ah, Tsunade-sama..."
"whee……"
"Tsunade-sama, please don't call me sister..."
Shizune is just an ordinary ninja. Tsunade not only has a high status, but is also her immediate boss. She is not used to being called that.
"What does it matter? You are older than me."
When she first traveled through time and space, Tsunade called Shizune this way, and now she doesn't feel any discomfort at all.
"But……"
"It doesn't matter, I don't mind. What do you mind?"
"Oh well."
Tsunade is very easy-going and Shizune doesn't feel any pressure when getting along with her. She likes this boss very much.
Shizune looked around and said in surprise: "What, Hokage-sama, didn't I go out with you?"
Tsunade said angrily: "That stinky man went out to have fun."
"???"
Tsunade changed the subject: "Forget it, we won't talk about him."
Shizune didn't ask any more questions. Naruto's movements were not something she, a civilian ninja, should ask about.
During lunch break, Tsunade took Shizune and Izumi to eat. During her absence, there were many new things in the village, and Tsunade was very interested in them.
The hot pot restaurant is doing a booming business, but the food is served slowly. In order to allow customers to kill time, the store is equipped with a TV for entertainment.
Tsunade was idle, so she took a few more glances.
Inside the TV, a host was interviewing a masked guest.
This program covers entertainment, politics and many other aspects. Because it is bold and not afraid of offending, it has attracted widespread public attention. In order to protect the interviewing guests, the guests will often be interviewed while covering their faces.
At this moment, the host happened to ask about the Land of Fire. Probably for the sake of ratings, the host took a different approach and asked a spicy question. Was Asuma really the third Hokage of Konoha killed?
The masked guest half-joked: "Speaking of this matter, I have heard a lot of rumors about this recently."
"Oh~" the host trailed and asked curiously: "What rumor?"
The masked guest kept secret: "It seems to be that person..."
"that person?"
"After all, he is the direct beneficiary, isn't he?"
The host pretended not to know: "Excuse me, who is the person you are talking about?"
The masked guest said half-jokingly: "Haha, please spare me. If you say this name, I will not be able to eat and walk around."
"Haha..." the host changed the topic: "Then let's move to the next question."
This kind of thing has been spread all over the world, and everyone who understands understands it. There is no need to say more. People who don’t understand will ask people who understand.
Tsunade frowned, pointed at the TV, and asked, "Do you know who these two guys are talking about?"
Quanmei cursed in her heart, there is no point in this lousy TV show that is not mentioned.
She did not directly participate in the night of the genocide, but Izumi, who had attended several Uchiha meetings, could still guess.
"I don't know..."
A moment of panic flashed across Izumi's face, and Tsunade was keenly aware of it, staring directly into Izumi's eyes: "No, you know..."
Izumi refused to admit it: "Tsunade-sama, I really don't know..."
Tsunade stood up abruptly. Even if Izumi didn't say anything, he had already guessed it.
Izumi said anxiously: "Tsunade-sama, where are you going?"
Tsunade didn't respond and ran straight towards the door. Izumi followed closely behind and wanted to stop her, but the waiter stopped her first and greeted her with a smile: "This guest, you haven't paid yet."
Izumi:……
Tsunade arrived at the Konoha Guard, and after Aokichi became Hokage, the Konoha Guard, which had been disbanded, was restored.
"Tsunade-sama..."
Everyone in the security team was surprised to see Tsunade arriving.
Tsunade asked, "Where is Fugaku?"
"The captain is in the office."
Tsunade went straight into the office. Fugaku was slightly surprised to see Tsunade arriving. What wind had brought this person here.
Tsunade closed the door and spoke in a low voice, straight to the point: "Fugaku, tell me honestly how the Third Hokage died."
Fugaku's heart sank, how could Tsunade ask this so easily.
"this……"
"It must have been Qing Pheasant's doing."
"..."
The incident happened so suddenly that Fugaku didn't know how to speak.
Tsunade said coldly: "Okay, you don't need to explain. I already know the answer I want from your expression."
What was supposed to come finally came. Fugaku took a deep breath, closed his eyes for a while, and nodded to acknowledge the matter.
"Why do you have to do this?"
Tsunade thought that Aokiji had done enough cruelty by killing the daimyo, but what she didn't expect was that he not only killed the daimyo, but also killed her mentor.
Fugaku sighed: "It's better to wait until he comes back to talk about this kind of thing. I think he will give you the answer..."
"..."
◎
The Kingdom of Water, the Hidden Mist Village.
Aoki had a brief meeting with his subordinates to understand the general situation. The Corpse Bone Pulse clan had a sudden attack on Kirigakure Village and all the clan members were wiped out.
"Lord Aoji..."
"nothing……"
Qingzhi didn't want to explain too much.
The Kingdom of Water is not big, but it is not small either. It is not easy to find a child in such a country.
But this was not a problem for Qing Pheasant, who quickly formed seals with both hands, picked up the Sword Jue with one hand and pressed it on his right eye.
Ice Escape·Ice Clairvoyance.
This is a ninjutsu that creates ice crystals and uses the refraction of light to find people. If it is in a snowy environment, it can get twice the result with half the effort, but it also consumes a lot of chakra.
The territory of the Kingdom of Water is shrouded in fog all year round, and the environment is not as good as that of snow, but it can still make do.
With Kimimaro's character, he would inevitably walk alone and become homeless. This situation was rare in this country, which greatly reduced the scope of Aoki's search.
◎
The mist is thick, under a big tree.
The white-haired boy sat on the ground, with his knees pressed together and his hands clasping his knees, leaning against the tree, like an abandoned kitten.
The boy's name is Kimimaro, and he is from the Shigumai clan.
After that battle, all his people were dead, and he was the only one who survived.
In this regard, he didn't feel any different from the past, because he was the same person from beginning to end, and he only felt extremely confused and empty about life, as his green eyes told.
"Did I do something wrong? That God wants to punish me like this..."
Kimimaro muttered, his voice sad.
"Crack, click, click..."
The sound of rustling footsteps echoed from far to near. Someone was approaching. Kimimaro noticed it, raised his face, and stared.
A figure slowly emerged. He was thin and dressed in black. He had the same white hair and blue eyes as him, and a stern face.
"Are you from Kirigakure Village?"
Kimimaro subconsciously thought it was a pursuer and raised the bone spur.
"no."
Qingzhi smiled slightly and closed his eyes slightly.
The boy in front of him has white hair, a delicate face, and is wearing wrinkled clothes. He has red eye shadow under his green eyes and two eye-catching red dots between his eyebrows.
Not surprisingly, it was him - Kimimaro.
"Feel sorry."
Kimimaro put down the bone blade in his hand, quite politely.
Qing Pheasant's eyes fell on the bone blade, and he smiled slightly: "Corpse bone veins... It seems that there are still fish that have slipped through the net."
Kimimaro's face hardened, he raised the bone blade again, and without saying a word, he rushed forward with a single stride. His speed was quite fast, even faster than some chuunin.
Qing Pheasant was stunned when he saw it, and while avoiding the sliding slash, he still had enough time to counterattack, turning around and kicking.
Kimimaro flew out.
So strong.
This man is more powerful than any opponent he has ever encountered before.
There was no time to create a layer of bone membrane under the skin for defense.
He got up from the ground and wanted to fight back.
The next second, the pair of blue pupils opposite him were dyed blood red, surrounded by three magatama, exuding a cold aura.
Under the gaze of these eyes, he couldn't resist at all, he let go of his hand, and the bone blade fell to the ground.
There was a huge disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves, and Kimimaro, who had no sense in living, chose to give up resistance directly.
"What a poor child. He has lost the meaning of life at such a young age."
Qingzhi smiled sympathetically: "You know, the two most important days in a person's life are the day you were born and the day you found the reason for your birth."
Kimimaro looked at Aoki in confusion.
"Stay alive, maybe you can find interesting things, just like I found you and you met me."
Aoki slowly walked up to Kimimaro, knelt down half-kneeling, looked at Kimimaro with a gentle smile, and said in a magnetic voice, "Come and be my son."
After saying that, he raised his index and ring fingers and lightly poked Kimimaro's forehead.
The Uchiha ancestor poked his forehead.
Kimimaro's cheeks were slightly red, his swaying pupils were filled with an inexplicable emotion, and an innocent smile filled the corners of his mouth.
It seemed that suddenly, a ray of sunlight shone down from the cracks in the clouds. It was bright and warm, reflecting the man's smile, and even illuminating his own cold heart.
He thought that at that moment, he must have been confused by the man in front of him.
ps: two-in-one
