章節 82: Platitudes and Mistakes
Kazuya turned around, smiling slightly. "Shisui, it's rare to see you so serious. What is it?"
Uchiha Shisui pondered for a moment before cautiously speaking. "Senior Kazuya, do you think the Uchiha clan will face the same fate as the Kaguya clan?"
Uchiha Itachi's expression also became solemn at this heavy topic. Recent events in Kirigakure had deeply affected Shisui and Itachi, making them worry about their clan's future. They feared that the Uchiha clan might face total annihilation like the Kaguya clan.
Kazuya's smile faded. He was silent for a long time before speaking seriously. "Of course not."
"Really?" Shisui asked hopefully.
"Of course it's true," Kazuya replied with a smile. He had no intention of letting the Uchiha clan meet such a dire fate.
"Shisui, Itachi, you must trust the village and Hokage-sama," Kazuya said, adopting an official tone. "Hokage-sama will find a way for the Uchiha clan to coexist peacefully with the village."
It was no secret that there were conflicts between the Uchiha clan and Konoha's leadership. The Uchiha's role in the Konoha Police Force had strained their relationship with the villagers, leading to growing radicalism within the clan. Everything seemed to be following the original storyline.
"Believe in Hokage-sama?" Shisui mused.
"Be patient, Shisui," Kazuya said, patting him on the shoulder encouragingly.
"Thank you, Kazuya-senpai," Shisui replied, bowing slightly.
Kazuya chuckled inwardly. He had just given a bunch of seemingly helpful but actually useless advice. He was conflicted about the Uchiha clan. Initially, he considered following the plot and eliminating them due to the threat of Shisui's Kotoamatsukami and Itachi's Tsukuyomi. But now, with his Level 5-tailed beast power, he felt more confident.
After returning to the village, Kazuya planned to undergo special training to improve his resistance to Genjutsu. If he could become immune, there would be no need to kill the Uchiha. They could be valuable sources of experience.
A few days later, the ship docked, and the group finally set foot on the Land of Fire. Many of the released Konoha shinobi couldn't hold back their tears. They were finally home.
"Master Kazuya!" The Konoha shinobi looked at Kazuya as if he were a god. Surviving the horrors of Kirigakure's prison felt like a miracle.
They hurried along, eager to return to Konoha. Kazuya continued using his chakra-sensing abilities, occasionally picking up combat experience and talents from the shinobi.
[You picked up 50 points of Chakra]
[You picked up 30 points of Chakra]
[You picked up 50 combat experience points]
[You picked up 20 points of Wind Style talent]
[You picked up 10 points of Indra blood]
[You have picked up 20 points of Indra blood]
Golden light continuously surrounded Kazuya. He occasionally threw stones at Shisui and Itachi, gaining a bit more of the Indra bloodline.
As they neared Konoha, excitement grew among the Konoha shinobi. The feeling of being so close to home was overwhelming.
However, as they passed through a dense forest, Kazuya suddenly stopped, signaling the team to halt.
"Um?" Uchiha Shisui frowned, turning over fallen leaves to reveal hidden steel wires with attached explosive tags.
"This is..." Shisui's expression changed. "It's a trap technique used by our village ninjas. Has there been a battle here? Is it the Cloud Shinobi again?"
"Shisui, I fear it's more complicated than that," Kazuya said. He had chosen a remote route to avoid trouble, yet they were ambushed. He suspected someone from the village's upper echelons was involved.
Shimura Danzo? A smile appeared on Kazuya's face under his mask. If Danzo were behind this, it would be no surprise. He was relentless.
Suddenly, dozens of figures appeared in the forest. Root ninjas wearing masks surrounded them from all directions.
"Nohara Kazuya..." Danzo appeared, leaning on his cane. He was covered in bandages. "You plan to betray the village with these former prisoners? That's treason!"
"No! Master Danzo, we're not traitors!" some Konoha shinobi tried to explain, but Danzo cut them off coldly.
"The ninjas captured by Mist Shinobi can no longer be trusted. To protect the village, we must eliminate these traitors!"
"Yes, Lord Danzo!" The Root ninjas responded, ready to kill.
Good guy, Kazuya thought, feeling a moment of sympathy for Danzo's relentless framing skills. But Danzo had picked the wrong opponent.
Kazuya's face hardened. It was time to show Danzo just how big a mistake he had made.
