Chapter 189 Stay Out of It? Or Take the Initiative? (4K, Please Subscribe!) (1/2)

"Brother."

At this time, Qianhe and Ayane noticed Karin beside them...

After briefly explaining to the two of them, Qianhe smiled and said, "The process is too long. I have to report to the third generation now. I will explain it to you slowly when I go home tonight."

As he said that, Qianhe turned around and left, but Ayane grabbed his hand and Karin also grabbed his sleeve.

Qianhe was stunned for a moment and looked back at them, "What's wrong?"

Ayane: "I want to go with you. I'll wait for you outside."

Karin: "Me too."

Qianhe smiled when he heard it, "Okay, let's go together. It's just right that we can go to dinner together later. Then I'm going to get a new haircut and buy some suitable clothes."

"Yeah!" Ayane nodded heavily.

The three of them walked directly towards the Hokage building.

At this time, Hinata and Zhi in the corner looked at the three people leaving with a gloomy face. Kitahara Qianhe? Three and a half years are not enough for everyone to forget his name. This is a young man who has left a strong mark in the ninja world. He is not dead? !

After hesitating for a long time, Hinata Kazushi did not follow, but turned around and left to return to the Hyuga clan. He wanted to report the news to various elders.

As for his thoughts about Ayane, compared to his life, no matter how unwilling he was, he could only think about it in his heart.

Compete with Kitahara Chiho? He didn't dare...

This time, he felt that he should take the initiative to ask the elders to change the original guard Hinata Yayoi back.

After a while, Sasuke and Naruto walked out of the school together.

Because they were delayed in the school for a while, they did not see Chiho.

Although the two people lived in different directions, the first few streets were still on the way.

Over the years, the two have become accustomed to going home together after school.

Of course, Sasuke would naturally not tell Naruto that in order to walk together, he had not walked the nearest route home for a long time.

No matter how Sasuke was venomous to Naruto, Naruto remained true to Sasuke.

Because of Sasuke, the boys in the class also distanced themselves from Naruto because of the "fox rumor", but no one bullied him.

This matter started when Naruto was bullied by senior boys and Sasuke fought six of them in the corridor.

"Sasuke."

"What?"

"Tomorrow is Saturday, do you want to go out and play?"

"I want to practice!"

"What about Sunday?"

"Practice too!"

"Oh..." Naruto was disappointed.

"Hey, the last one!" When they walked to the street where they were about to part, Sasuke stopped and shouted to Naruto.

"Sasuke, I told you not to call me the last one. Sooner or later, I will surpass you. I must make you recognize me!" Naruto got angry when he heard the three words "the last one".

If someone else said this, Naruto would at most argue a few words, but when Sasuke said it, it was a critical blow to Naruto every time.

"Humph! You are still a long way from being recognized by me!" Sasuke looked up at Naruto.

Faced with Sasuke's underestimation, Naruto was so angry that he jumped up and down, "I will go to practice right away! Sooner or later, I will surpass you!"

As he said that, Naruto turned around and walked away angrily.

Sasuke walked to the corner, suddenly stopped, and shouted to Naruto:

"Hey! Naruto!"

"Huh? What are you doing?" Although Naruto was unhappy, he still stopped and turned around to look at him when he heard Sasuke's voice.

Sasuke hesitated for a moment and said, "Well... I will practice shuriken at the third training ground this Sunday afternoon..."

"Huh, practice with your brother again?" Naruto frowned. Sasuke was too attached to his brother, and Naruto was a little unhappy.

Hearing Naruto's words, Sasuke snorted coldly: "You are such a big idiot! I practiced alone that day!"

"Do you mean to ask me to practice together?!" Naruto's eyes lit up and shouted excitedly.

"Huh! Who asked you to practice together? I just told you." Sasuke snorted with his hands on his chest.

Although Naruto has become a lot more stupid without Qianhe's teaching in the past few years, Naruto's emotional intelligence has always been high when it comes to Sasuke's affairs.

He thought about it for a while and understood what Sasuke meant, but what he said was still very direct.

"Don't worry, I will definitely go on time. What time exactly? Can I go at noon?" Naruto didn't care about that and asked.

"I'm just talking. It's probably after lunch. You don't have to go too early. I..." Sasuke blurted out for a moment, felt his cheeks burning, and quickly turned his face away.

"I just think your shuriken skills are really bad. Even if you give you a hundred years, you can't catch up with me.

And you are always with me. If your grades are too bad, I will feel very embarrassed.

I just happen to want to practice more by myself and teach you by the way..."

"Great! Then I'll go home first, Sasuke! I'm going to eat an extra bowl of ramen today!" Before Sasuke finished speaking, Naruto ran away excitedly.

"What a big idiot." Sasuke complained, but the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.

When Sasuke walked to the last street on his way home, he saw Itachi. Looking at Itachi's slow-moving back, Sasuke didn't show any restraint and rushed up happily with his small schoolbag swinging.

"Nissan! Nissan! You're back? We agreed to practice hand skills together today..."

Sasuke rushed to Itachi, and was stunned for a moment when he saw Itachi's tired face.

Seeing Sasuke, the haze in Itachi's heart seemed to be dispersed by a ray of sunshine. He looked at Sasuke with a smile on his face, and then poked Sasuke's forehead with his finger.

"I'm very tired today. Next time, forgive me, Sasuke."

"It hurts." Sasuke covered his forehead and said angrily, "Brother, you're a big liar."

After saying that, Sasuke did not continue to pester, because in the past few months, Itachi's inadvertent tired expression made the young Sasuke feel his brother's difficulties.

"Go back and eat." Listening to Sasuke's tone, Itachi knew that Sasuke forgave him.

"Yeah!"

During the meal, Sasuke complained to his parents at the dinner table that Itachi didn't keep his word.

And Fugaku and Itachi ate their meals expressionlessly, while Mikoto smiled and comforted Sasuke. The warm family in the past has now been cracked.

"Nisan! Go out for a walk with me?"

"Okay."

"Great!"

"Itachi!"

"Father..."

"I have something to talk to you about. Come to the study."

"Yes."

After dinner, Sasuke took Itachi out for a walk, but when they reached the door, Itachi was stopped by Fugaku.

Sasuke stood there in a daze, his face full of disappointment.

***

Hokage Building, high-level meeting room.

The Third Hokage and Danzo, Utatane Koharu, and Mito Kado En had not left yet.

While discussing matters related to the Uchiha clan today, they also summarized Konoha's recent work and strengthened their deployment.

Dong Dong Dong...

The door of the meeting room was knocked.

"Come in." The Third Hokage frowned.

It was obviously a very important matter to disturb their meeting at this time. The Third Hokage didn't want to hear any bad news.

The ninja who walked in was Nara Shikaku.

"Sir, I'm here to meet the three advisors."

"It's Shikaku, what's up?" The third generation looked at Shikaku's expression and felt relieved.

"Chiho Kitahara is back." Nara Shikaku said. When the people below reported to him just now, he was still confused. He didn't react until Chiho found the Hokage's office.

"Who?!" The third generation Hokage was shocked and his tone suddenly changed.

"Chiho Kitahara, he is not dead. It is said that he was just trapped. Now he is back to report. He will tell you the details later." Nara Shikaku repeated.

"Not dead?" The Third Hokage's expression changed in a complicated way, and then he stood up and said, "Today's meeting ends here."

"Take me to see him!"

"Yes."

At this time, Danzo, who was sitting upright, narrowed his eyes, stood up and said:

"Wait, I'll go and see too. He hasn't been back to the village for more than three years. I don't know if he is really trapped or has other plans. In addition, I must confirm whether his identity is correct and whether there is any possibility of rebellion."

At this critical period, Qianhe just came back, and Danzo couldn't help but pay attention to him.

Qianhe is closely related to Uchiha Itachi. His strength more than three years ago should not be underestimated. If his strength has improved in the past three and a half years, it will be a huge variable for Danzo's plan against the Uchiha clan.

Danzo felt it necessary to see it with his own eyes. It would be best if he could confirm that Qianhe's strength was stagnant or even regressed.

Otherwise, he would have to take Qianhe into consideration in the plan. If he could win him over, it would be even better.

"This..." Seeing that Danzo was going to follow, Nara Shikaku hesitated.

Seeing this, the third generation's face changed slightly, and then nodded and said, "Let's go."

Soon the three of them came to the Hokage's office, and Qianhe stood in front of the desk in the office, looking at the photos of the past Hokage hanging on the wall.

Hearing the footsteps, Qianhe turned around.

When he saw the third generation and Danzo, Qianhe's face did not change, and he said, "Hello, third generation, Danzo."

"Qianhe?" The third generation Hokage nodded, frowned slightly at Qianhe, and he felt a great change in Qianhe.

There is no feeling in terms of strength, after all, the third generation is not a perception-type ninja. The biggest feeling about Qianhe now is that his demeanor has changed.

Qianhe, who is less than 13 years old, has a great change in demeanor now, and has the demeanor of a strong man. This is because he has great confidence in his own strength.

Because a few years ago, the third generation could still feel that when Qianhe talked to him, or when there was a conflict, Qianhe always paid attention to his words and looked tense.

And now Qianhe gives the third generation the feeling that he is like Jiraiya, with a very casual attitude.

It seems that a lot of changes have taken place in him.

Thinking of this, the Third Hokage's expression became serious and he returned to his seat.

"Chiho Kitahara, where have you been these years? Why did you come back now?" Danzo asked before the Third Hokage spoke.

Chiho looked at Danzo and said lightly: "Because of the sneak attack of Yungakure Yukito, I was sent to a foreign land with the monsters.

But I met a group of summoned beasts there, and was rescued by them. Finally, with their help, I returned to the ninja world."

Hearing this, Danzo said in a deep voice: "I hope you don't pursue the matter of Yukito. The village has reached a consensus under the leadership of Hiruzen on this matter. Konoha has formed an alliance with Yungakure. For the sake of peace, you are not allowed to cause trouble for Yukito again.

Also, how do you prove that what you say is true? You also need to explain in detail what happened to you in the past three years, and..."

"Lord Danzo!"

Before Danzo could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Qianhe.

Qianhe looked at Danzo and cursed in his mind. This old guy was looking for trouble as soon as he came back, and he also tried to sow discord between the third generation and him.

Of course, Qian He feels that he may not have a good relationship with the senior people now. Even the third generation, Qian He doesn't have much good impressions now.

"Forget it about Yukito... I've heard all about it, what's wrong? I said you can't talk about it yet?

I can 'understand' the village 'sacrificing' me alone for the sake of peace.

But facing the ninja who brought peace to the village, I risked my life and went through all kinds of hardships to return to the village just to face your questions and doubts? "

Danzo's eyes turned cold, "Kitahara Qianhe, pay attention to your attitude, I am here for the village..."

"Okay Danzo, don't use this attitude. You go about your business first. Let Qianhe tell me the rest."

The Third Hokage, who had been silent all this time, saw that the atmosphere was getting more and more tense, and then he came out to be a peacemaker. Whether it was false or pretentious, the Third Hokage always spoke in a gentler manner than Danzo.

"Hmph!" Danzo snorted and left the Hokage's office.

Qianhe watched Danzo off with an expressionless face. The two of them sang in perfect harmony.

"Qianhe, tell me about your experience in the past few years." Sandai smiled lightly.

"Yes." Qian He nodded.

Bang!

At this moment, a huge burst of smoke rose, and a giant toad appeared outside the Hokage's office building, with a white-haired man standing on top of the toad's head.

The white-haired man jumped directly into the window sill. The person who came was none other than Jiraiya, who rushed back from Tian Country after hearing the news about Qianhe.

"Qianhe! Are you okay?! You're really alive! That's great!"

After Jiraiya jumped into the room, he didn't care what the third generation's expression was. He rushed directly to Qianhe, patting him left and right, beating his chest for a while, and touching his face for a while.

Looking at Jiraiya's heartfelt smile, Qianhe felt warm in his heart. It was precisely because people like Ayane and Jiraiya were in Konoha that this place was his home.

"Jiraiya-sensei, of course I'm alive!"

"Great!" Jiraiya took a long breath and patted Qianhe on the shoulder.

"Jiraiya-sensei, I heard you were injured, how are you doing?" Qianhe asked quickly, remembering what Ayin told him.

Jiraiya patted his chest and said with a relaxed expression: "It's okay, I can't die!"

At this time, the third generation who was standing aside coughed lightly and said: "Ahem, Jiraiya."

"Huh? Old man."

"Let Qianhe tell you what happened to him in the past three years, and then you, master and disciple, can talk slowly."

"Three years ago...

Qian He nodded and told everything he could about Fantasy Sky Island. Even if some trump cards were not important, he was unwilling to tell the third generation.

Anyway, the story of Fantasy Island is indeed true, but the third generation was unable to verify it.

Sandai was not sure whether what Qian He said was true or false.

But many times, the truth is not important. What is important is whether you choose to believe it or not.

Just like now, the third generation felt a little incredible about what Qianhe said, but since Jiraiya was present, there were some things that he could only ask normally but not delve into.

After Jiraiya was seriously injured in the battle with Kumogakure three years ago, he separated from the village's senior officials.

Now, the third generation will be cautious when dealing with Qianhe. Even in times of peace, the village is still unstable.

Now the third generation is glad that he just let Danzo go out first, otherwise if Jiraiya sees the scene just now, something will happen easily...
