Chapter 797 The End of Night and Quan's Thoughts
This restless night finally ended in a relatively peaceful way.
Compared with the fact that Orochimaru defected from the village, under the joint acquiescence and cover-up of Danzo and Uchiha Fugaku, what happened to Mu Qingzhi seemed somewhat insignificant.
In Uchiha Fugaku's mind, Danzo was just thinking about kidnapping Uchiha Zhi for one night and persuading him to join the Root, and he didn't think about it more deeply. For Shimura Danzo, this kind of thing not only can't stand investigation, but if it really goes into detail, he will be the only one who will be embarrassed.
So even if he was unwilling, he could only swallow his anger and smile to see Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Zhi off from the Root.
... Danzo felt bitter, but he didn't say it.
Mu Qingzhi was quite satisfied with this result.
Anyway, she made money, took things, and dealt with Danzo well. She was the one who made the most money this night.
As a human being, you should always learn to be content with what you have.
Even if Danzo later found out that his collection was almost completely looted, he could only grit his teeth and swallow this loss. He believed that after this battle, the other party should be able to behave for a long time.
However, what Mu Qingzhi did not expect was that the clan leader Uchiha Fugaku seemed to be surprisingly easy to talk to. When he asked her about the details of the previous incident, his tone was unbelievably gentle.
...Mu Qingzhi felt that there was something wrong with him.
Not long after, not long after leaving the Root, Mu Qingzhi found Uchiha Itachi waiting there on a street somewhere. Taking advantage of the time she and Uchiha Fugaku had bought for him, he successfully escaped from the Root... or walked out.
Because it was already late, the original plan to go to Uchiha Itachi's house to have a meal and watch the backflip of the second pillar could only be postponed. Uchiha Fugaku seemed to have other things to do, so after meeting up with Uchiha Itachi, he found an excuse to leave first, leaving only Mu Qingzhi and Uchiha Itachi, who escorted her to the door of her house.
The other party seemed to have something to say, but in the end he didn't say a word. After holding it in for a long time, he finally said good night to her and left in a hurry. Looking at Mu Qingzhi, she was stunned...
It must be said that Orochimaru is still very trustworthy. After Mu Qingzhi opened the door with the key and returned to the house, she found 15 million and a note sent by Orochimaru on the small rice table in her house without spending much effort.
With this 15 million, she no longer needed to worry about money for a long time afterwards.
As for the note on the table, it was a contact method left by Orochimaru. After taking a casual look at it and writing down the information on it, Mu Qingzhi burned it to ashes.
After doing this, Mu Qingzhi hummed a song and put away the 15 million. In a good mood, he went to the bathroom to take a bath. Too many things happened tonight, and he also gained a lot of unexpected gains.
With these gains, many plans can be tried.
"Once the news of Orochimaru's rebellion spreads, it will inevitably affect the war situation on the front line. In the future, the war that had originally calmed down is expected to intensify again..."
Lying in the bathtub and looking at the ceiling, Mu Qingzhi thought in his heart.
The war between Konoha and Kumogakure will continue for nearly a year. It is probably in the 54th year of Konoha that Kumogakure will sign an alliance treaty with Konoha. At that time, Kumogakure will send people to Konoha. At the same time, Hinata Hyuga was abducted by Kumogakure, which indirectly led to the absurd incident that Hyuga Hizashi, an important figure, took the initiative to die in place of Konoha in order to appease the anger of Kumogakure.
From this incident, we can see how much impact Orochimaru's defection has had on Konoha. At that time, Konoha was so weak that it had to rely on this method to quell the incident. It was simply outrageous...
"Bird in a cage, Hyuga Neji..."
Just as Mu Qingzhi was lying in the bathtub thinking, a knock on the door interrupted her thinking.
"Red Bean..."
After responding in her mouth, Mu Qingzhi stood up from the bathtub.
After drying her body with a dry towel, she picked up a white nightgown that was below her knees and put it on. Then, while wiping her hair with a towel, she walked to the door in her slippers and opened it.
What she didn't expect was that although it was indeed Mitarashi Anko standing at the door, in addition to Mitarashi Anko, she also saw Uchiha Izumi and Uchiha Itachi who had just left.
It seemed that he didn't expect her to open the door like this. Uchiha Itachi's face suddenly turned slightly red, and then he turned around with an uncomfortable expression and looked to the side.
Mu Qingzhi: "………"
…So in this day and age, you still come here in groups?
……………………………………
"Don't worry, it's not a big deal. The root probably just wants to talk to me. Don't blame yourself too much."
Looking at Mitarashi Anko sitting in the corner with her legs hugged and an invisible low pressure all over her body, Mu Qingzhi went back to her room and changed into casual clothes and started to comfort her.
No matter what time it was, Yutarashi Anko was always full of energy and bold, but her teacher's defection seemed to have dealt her a heavy blow. She had been like this since she entered the room.
"...I brought you to my teacher."
She lowered her head and buried her face in her knees, Yutarashi Anko spoke in a muffled voice.
"If it weren't for me, you wouldn't..."
"Stop, stop, I'm fine now, aren't I?"
Before the other party finished speaking, Mu Qingzhi decisively interrupted the other party's words.
"Your teacher's mistakes don't need you to bear them, and you didn't have the intention to harm me when you called me over before, right? In the final analysis, you were also used by your teacher."
"………"
This time, Yutarashi Anko didn't reply.
Seeing Yutarashi Anko still keeping her head down and being emo alone, Mu Qingzhi couldn't help but feel a little helpless as she reached out and pressed her forehead.
Maybe in normal days, Mitarashi Anko behaves a little careless, but in fact, the other party's mind is quite sensitive.
In fact, the other party is not wrong in this matter, but the other party just can't get over the hurdle in her heart.
For this kind of thing, Mu Qingzhi has no way to deal with it for the time being, and can only let time slowly let the other party come out of it.
At this time, Uchiha Izumi and Uchiha Itachi, holding plates in their hands, returned to the living room from the kitchen together. The reason they came here before, in addition to Mitarashi Anko's insistence and visiting her, was also because she didn't eat dinner at night and wanted to come to her house to help cook or something.
For this reason, Uchiha Izumi and Uchiha Itachi were very considerate and left space for her and Mitarashi Anko.
"Itachi and I made it together, and I don't know if it suits your taste."
After putting down the dishes in his hands, he sat down at the table, and Uchiha Izumi looked a little embarrassed.
"If you don't like it, you can tell me and I'll change it."
"Since it's made by Quan, it must taste good."
Looking at the dazzling array of dishes in front of her, Mu Qingzhi did not hide her praise.
"You know, I was planning to eat instant noodles at night."
"Well... I don't have much confidence in other aspects, but I still have some confidence in cooking."
Uchiha Quan's face looked a little red.
"If you want, I can cook for you every day in the future."
Mu Qingzhi: "..."
...Looking at Uchiha Quan in front of her with a slightly red face, but still looking at her with courage, she suddenly felt something was wrong.
