Chapter 143 The Young Man’s Blood Has Not Yet Turned Cold (Ch 143)

Several scenes that flashed by continuously and showed endless arguments showed that the Uchiha had returned empty-handed at every gathering since then, and those who knew about the situation also had their own thoughts and did not dare to take the lead.

The overall atmosphere in Konoha was rapidly declining. Whenever the villagers saw the Uchiha Guard, they would show impatient or resentful expressions.

[This is how the world is. When the oppressed demand the benefits they deserve, they are met with hostility from others.]

[If the Uchiha want to stand up, they will overturn the people who originally stood on their backbones]

[Blindly compromising is not an option, but just arguing won’t lead to fairness either]

[Fortunately, what the Uchiha lack the least is the military strength to fight to the death, as well as the fighting spirit to be completely revived]

[This is their last chance to survive]

The screen went dark and then bright.

On a cloudy morning, Kushina brought Kana to visit Mikoto.

Misaka’s belly is already very big. She has been resting at home and rarely goes out recently. I guess she is about to give birth soon.

Kushina gently put her ear against it, her eyes full of curiosity and anticipation.

“No matter how many times I see it, it’s unbelievable that Mikoto actually has a baby in her belly~”

She sat up straight and blinked her big eyes: “Hey, Mikoto, when he grows up, can I take him to play with me?”

“Of course,” Mikoto touched her belly, “I couldn’t ask for more.”

The screen flickered, releasing the memories that flooded her mind.

That memory was covered with a warm and hazy filter. In the picture, Naraku was just like Kushina the day before departure. He carefully leaned against her arms and whispered that it must be a younger brother.

[When my younger brother is born, I will protect him.]

Naraku slightly raised the corners of his mouth, his expression gentle and joyful, and he rarely took the initiative to talk to her a lot.

[I take him flying kites in spring, go fishing by the river in summer, climb mountains to pick wild fruits in autumn, and build snowmen with him in winter…]

【No matter what he wants to do, I will accompany him. 】

Mikoto said cheerfully, if you spoil him like this, it will be very troublesome.

[It doesn’t matter, just let me do the hard work, my brother just needs to be happy. ]

Naraku just smiled, and looked like a brother.

She never thought that this would be the last time she would see Naraku smile.

The picture returned to clarity and coldness. Mikoto wiped her face, leaving a trace of water on the back of her hand.

[It turns out that Naraku once looked forward to the future so sincerely]

[He didn’t even get to see his brother in the end]

[Will Mikoto’s child know that she has a brother whom she has never met?]

[Yes, he will grow up listening to Naraku’s stories]

[Naraku is so sensible, how can Mikoto and Fugaku let it go?]

“Don’t be too sad, Mikoto.”

Kushina hugged her friend’s shoulders, knowing that the other was still upset about Naraku.

“Cheer up, Naraku in heaven doesn’t want to see you like this. You have a baby, so you must take care of yourself.”

Chanel also forced a smile and said, “Yeah, that silly boy must be spinning around in the sky right now.”

Exhaling slowly, Misaka tried to speak but stopped herself several times, as if she wanted to tell them the truth about Naraku’s death.

But in the end, she said nothing.

Telling Kushina and Kana that even the Uchiha clan couldn’t do it with all their strength would only put them in danger for nothing.

[The girls are all good]

[Right now, the Uchiha and Konoha are on the verge of a fight, which makes me a little scared… According to the plot routine, what happens next…]

[Mother Mikoto, please take good care of yourself and live in peace]

The camera shifted to Minato, who was having a meal at a barbecue restaurant with two of his companions to celebrate their promotion to elite jonin.

Their table was in the corner of the lobby, quite secluded, so no one else could hear them talking.

Aburame Shiya was a man of few words, and spent most of his time eating in silence, listening to the other two chatting.

But Akimichi Choza was different. He was outgoing and talkative. As the young patriarch of the Akimichi clan, he had heard a lot of secret news from his father, and then talked about it with his friends at the dinner table.

Especially since the Uchiha have been making such a big fuss recently, he couldn’t help but know about it.

Qiu Daoting was not stupid, so how could he not understand the hidden meaning of his father’s words?

This Uchiha thing is true.

Someone in the top leadership killed the most gifted child in their clan.

After all, he is a young man, and his blood is still hot. Qiu Daodingzuo gritted his teeth and seemed to have made up his mind.

“Minato, I remember you had a good relationship with Uchiha Fugaku?”

“Yes,” Minato admitted with a frank nod, “We worked together for a while and became friends. But after Fugaku succeeded as clan leader, he was too busy to go on missions, and now we meet less often.”

“Perhaps you don’t understand, Minato, recently-“

“Chouza.” Aburame Shiya reminded.

“I know, Shiya.”

Akimichi Choza gave him a calm and determined look, then turned to look at Minato with an extremely serious expression.

“The situation is not right recently. If you have a chance, remind Uchiha Fugaku and ask him to be more careful and alert next time.”

Minato realized that something was happening that he didn’t understand: “What happened to Uchiha?”

All the surrounding noises were erased, including the words that Akimichi Choza spoke next. The audience could only see his mouth moving and hear his heartbeat gradually getting louder and louder in their ears.

[The information gap between civilian ninjas and ninja clan members cannot be bridged even if they become elite jonins]

[Akimichi Choza is a man]

[The Uchiha are not completely unpopular]

[It doesn’t matter whether he is an Uchiha or not. Anyone with a conscience cannot tolerate the dirty things that Danzo did.]

[Minato, hurry up and grow up, join forces with others to kick Sarutobi Hiruzen down!]

Listening to Akimichi Choza telling him the information, Minato felt terrified and filled with anger.

In addition to being furious, he remembered the illusion that Kakashi had mentioned that afternoon, and the feeling of anxiety returned.

Senior Sakumo has been in a coma and has not woken up yet, Kakashi has been cast into an illusion by an unknown enemy, Naraku has been killed by a ninja from the same village, and the Uchiha clan is in danger…

It seemed as if there was an invisible giant hand stirring up trouble in Konoha, causing everyone to panic, but he had no clue at all.

And if this continues, Kakashi may be in danger.

Whether he found out something he shouldn’t know, or learned the truth from somewhere and hated Konoha…

–We can’t let Kakashi get too deep.

Minato made up his mind.

[That big hand…could it be Jhin?]

[So, Minato finally has a rival? Jin is about the same age as Minato]

[Wuhu! Naruto is about to start a battle of wits mode!]

[Oh my goodness, if all of this was done by Jhin, wouldn’t these fans eat him up?]

[Chef Jin is already trembling]
