Chapter 225 Returning to the Village
Chapter 225 Returning to the Village
a few days later.
On the outskirts of Konoha Village, Konan leaps through the forest.
Following behind were more than a dozen children, ranging in age from five to ten.
The older children were leading the younger ones, walking with some difficulty. One of the little girls, with purple hair, spoke up and asked:
"My angel, are we almost there?"
Xiao Nan didn't turn around: "Yes, it's just ahead."
At this moment, several figures landed. Judging from their attire, they were all from the Uchiha clan, with Qian Yao leading the way.
"Just hand them over to me," Qian Yao said, feigning a businesslike demeanor.
Xiao Nan jumped down from the tree and gave the children some instructions:
"You must grow up well in Konoha, and don't let my efforts to send you here go to waste."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Although these children are still young, they are aware of the huge gap between Konoha and Amegakure.
Xiao Nan leaped into the air, wings appeared behind her, and with a flap of the wings downwards, she flew away with a gust of air.
Qianyao glanced around and, sure enough, spotted Ziyanghua with purple hair and Shuilian and Furong, who would become her teammates.
"I am Uchiha Chiyo, the head of the Uchiha clan, and also the principal of the Konoha Ninja Academy."
"Come with me, all of you."
The group of children looked around, somewhat nervous in this unfamiliar environment.
"Yes, Lord Qianyao."
The older one acted quickly and came to Qianyao's side.
After someone responded, the others followed suit and walked towards Qianyao.
As Qianyao led the way forward, he said:
"You have paid a huge price to come to Konoha. How much you learn depends on yourselves..."
As the sound faded into the distance, a white Zetsu on the ground in the distance sank into the ground.
……
Another direction.
Kakashi returned to Konoha with Tenzo and Shion, who had regained consciousness.
After being lectured by Chiyo, Kakashi never came to see him again.
I guess they're still trying to change their minds.
Upon returning to Konoha, he immediately went to report to the Third Hokage.
Chiyo's clone then took Shion and Azuho back to their clan's territory.
The Hokage's office.
"What!? Maitreya is dead!?"
The Third Hokage was completely dumbfounded; he was counting on the priestess's sealing technique to seal the Nine-Tails.
Now it looks like this.
"How did you die?"
Kakashi shook his head and said, "We had already evacuated beforehand. They must have died in battle against the demons."
"Later we were attacked, and Shirakumo Hayama-senpai also died."
"What? Baiyun died early too?"
The Third Hokage felt dizzy. The white cloud that the Third Hokage had used to guide Kakashi earlier was now dead as well.
"Who attacked you?"
"An Uchiha wearing a mask, but I don't know who it is."
At this point, Kakashi still refused to admit that the person was Obito.
"But Uchiha Chiyo suddenly appeared and saved us."
"Uchiha Chiyo?" The Third Hokage looked puzzled.
"How could he be over there? Could it be a shadow clone?"
Kakashi thought for a moment and then said:
"The Uchiha clan accepted a commission to escort Miroku's daughter, Shion, to our Konoha."
Because Baiyun gave Kakashi a defensive injection in the morning, Kakashi no longer trusts the Third Hokage.
Lies come out of their mouths so easily these days.
Anyway, no one else in the team will report it.
The Third Hokage picked up his pipe, took a puff, and then slowly began to speak:
"Kakashi, is there something you haven't told me?"
Kakashi's heart skipped a beat, and his face showed obvious panic, but he quickly calmed down.
"Why does the Hokage say that?"
The Third Hokage frowned and said to Kakashi:
"Before you came back, Chiyo dug up the graves of Uchiha Obito and Nohara Rin."
Kakashi jumped in surprise, his voice changing: "What!?"
Just as he was about to make a move, the Third Hokage pressed him back down.
"Qianyao was very angry at the time and told me to come back and ask you."
"Speak, is there anything else you haven't said?"
Kakashi gave a wry smile, his expression gradually turning dejected:
"Chiyo said that the masked man was Obito."
The Third Hokage: "???"
This inconclusive answer left the Third Hokage visibly stunned.
Kakashi then added:
"Chiyo also said that he was the mastermind behind the Nine-Tails' rampage, and that Itachi Uchiha accepted Danzo's mission to ask this person to help him complete it."
The Third Hokage rubbed his temples. How did things get so complicated?
"Does Qianyao have any evidence?"
Kakashi shook his head: "Chiyo didn't say, so I don't know if he did or not."
"But when that person made a deal with Itachi, he was impersonating Madara Uchiha."
"But Qian Yao saw through it."
The Third Hokage was somewhat surprised. How could there be such a stupid person impersonating Madara Uchiha in front of the Uchiha clan leader?
This is just as absurd as pretending to be someone's father in front of them.
How could the Uchiha clan not recognize Madara Uchiha?
The Third Hokage temporarily put all that aside: "Does Miroku's daughter, Shion, know sealing techniques?"
Kakashi shook his head: "She's only seven years old and hasn't learned sealing techniques."
The Third Hokage was somewhat disappointed, as the last way to restrain the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was gone.
"Go to Qianyao's place first, and remember to come back and tell me if you get any information."
He knew Kakashi would never stand idly by and watch Rin's grave be dug up by the Uchiha.
As for Obito, he had no body; the grave was just a cenotaph.
Kakashi responded and immediately ran towards the Uchiha clan's territory.
……
Uchiha clan.
After this clone returned, it immediately summoned Rin and asked him to arrange accommodation.
Rin was no longer surprised to see Chiyo bringing back children again.
Anyway, the clan has more than enough space to open a kindergarten.
They easily arranged the accommodations.
Chiyo's clone and Naruto's clone merged into one.
Miroku sensed Kushina's chakra with some curiosity.
"She is not a soul."
Qianyao replied, "That's right, she's dead. This is the chakra she left behind."
"Her soul is in the Pure Land,"
"However, we are already trying to find a way to bring her soul back."
Why summon her soul back?
Qianyao sighed, "She died when her child had just been born. She couldn't bear to leave her child behind."
Maitreya sighed with emotion, for she too was worried about Ziyuan.
"How long will it take for Wangliang to recover from this injury?"
Qianyao didn't know much about the Wraiths, but their fighting power was clearly comparable to that of the Tailed Beasts.
Moreover, they might have already colluded with Obito and his group, so we naturally need to be careful.
"You don't need to worry about that for now. I can sense the spirits to a certain extent."
“He was badly injured, and his body was unsealed. Without a body, he will recover very slowly.”
At that moment, Rin came to report: "Clan leader, Kakashi has arrived."
Qianyao hummed in agreement. It must be about the main body digging up Lin's grave.
"Take him to the meeting room."
