In November of the thirty-fourth year of Konoha, it snowed heavily in most areas of the Fire Country. This sudden and continuous heavy snow made Damingfu covered with snow.
For Uchiha Tatsumi, it was obviously unreasonable for Uchiha Tatsumi to hear the news about Fugaku at this time. Coupled with the strange circuit that was slightly persecuted and paranoid, he even felt that this was Madara's bait to lure him out of Daming Mansion. .
It’s just that... the bait with a straight hook is salty.
What happened to Fugaku was in the Kingdom of Rainbow, so why did you suddenly appear at the border of the Kingdom of Fire? Even if you travel across the ocean, you still have to comply with the Basic Law, right
As for curiosity? Sorry, Chen said that he didn't have such a magical thing at all. After all, curiosity killed the cat.
What's more, he is not Mr. Fugaku. What does the life and death of the young patriarch have to do with him? Let's save his own life first.
If he really rushed to the border and was made dumplings by the ninja controlled by Madara, then there would be no place to cry.
The grass on the grave of the last one who jumped like this was more than two feet high. Chen thinks that his strength is far inferior to that of the Second Hokage, and his escape skills are far inferior. He doesn't want to be pointed at the loquat tree in memory in the future. .
Therefore, after careful consideration, Chen just ordered the Anbu to investigate, while he continued to live in the Daming Mansion.
In this way, the peaceful time passed for another half a month. After patrolling this day, he was about to return to his room to rest when a Ninja Eagle appeared high in the sky again.
Only this time it was a distress letter from ANBU.
After using a specific technique to open the scroll, he found that the person asking for help was Fujiwara Hide, a member of his ANBU team.
Judging from the content of the scroll, Fujiwara Hide encountered Konoha's rebel ninja during a mission, was seriously injured in a sneak attack, and then requested support.
Fujiwara Hide can be said to be the ANBU ninja that Tatsu is most familiar with besides Shinnosuke. The two had fought side by side in the Land of Rain, and it was precisely because of this that he was transferred over by the Third Hokage.
Without much hesitation, the boy packed up his weapons, explained to Mikoto and Himeji, and rushed towards the scene of the accident.
Fujiwara Hide was less than two hundred miles away from Daming Mansion at this time, and the two were not too far apart. As the captain of this team, Chen couldn't sit idly by in any case.
As for whether it was a trap... In his opinion, no matter how powerful Madara was, it was impossible to completely extend his tentacles into the Kingdom of Fire.
Not to mention, there is a situation where a large number of ninjas are blocked in a corner and unable to escape.
Since it wasn't Madara's trap, why should he be afraid
Again, there are only those who are thieves all the time, how can there be those who guard against thieves all the time
If this happened outside the Land of Fire, he would definitely not go there. But if it happened two hundred miles away from Daming Mansion and he didn't dare to go, then he should stop being a ninja and go home to raise pigs.
It was with this in mind that Tatsu rushed to the rescue without hesitation, but out of caution, he still sent a secret message to Shinnosuke through Ninja Taka, asking him to rush there with the ANBU.
The distance of two hundred miles did not take much time under full power, but when Chen arrived at the destination and saw the middle-aged ninja sitting by the stream, he was also stunned.
Why is Mount Uchiha here
Chen looked wary.
Uchiha-san, who was sitting on the shore, drank a bottle of wine, threw it high into the stream, and then stood up.
"You came."
The young man did not approach but kept a distance of two hundred meters, and asked: "Why, from what the clan leader means, it seems that you have been waiting for me for a long time?"
While asking, Dabai once again conducted a comprehensive reconnaissance of the surroundings, but found no other abnormalities.
As if aware of his movements, Uchihayama's deep voice came: "I am the only one here, and there are no barriers nearby, so... you can rest assured."
"So the patriarch is waiting for me here?"
After confirming that there was indeed no danger around him, Chen relaxed a little. With his current strength, he was really not afraid of Mount Uchiha.
"Yes, I was waiting for you." Uchiha-san chuckled, "I originally thought I could attract you here with Fugaku's news, but I didn't expect you to ignore me at all... It seems that you still value your subordinates more. "
Chen's pupils shrank, "Those messages came from you? I thought..."
"What do you think?"
"Nothing." Chen shook his head, "So where are my subordinates?"
"I used illusions to control him before, but now... he's dead."
"It seems like someone is helping you behind the scenes."
"Oh?" Uchiha asked with interest, "Why do you see it?"
"With your penetration into the ANBU, it is difficult to obtain information, let alone accurately find my subordinates and lure me out."
Not paying attention to the boy's ridicule, Uchiha-san smiled and said, "Then you don't want to know who is helping me?"
"Do not want to know."
"What, are you afraid it's someone you know?"
"A clumsy counterintuitive plan." Chen sneered, "Tell me, what are you trying to do to find me so hard? You can't just tell me about old times, right?"
"Of course not." Uchiha-san was silent for a moment, then asked: "Chen, how have I treated you over the years?"
"It's pretty good. Except for being driven to a remote corner when I was a child, and except for allowing my tribe to bully me... everything else is pretty good."
"But I also made amends. If I hadn't helped you, how could you have accepted Orochimaru as your disciple?"
Chen interrupted coldly: "What exactly do you want to say?"
"I'm inviting you to join me." Uchiha-san leaned forward and stretched out his right hand, "Fugaku is dead, but you are still alive. You are the most outstanding genius in the family. I fully support you in becoming the fourth generation Hokage. How about it?"
"What about in exchange?"
"Become my adopted son and get rid of a few people for me... Of course, these people are also obstacles in your way. As long as you do it, the position of the young patriarch will be yours."
Chen looked at the patriarch who had turned gray all night in astonishment, and then shook his head after a while.
"Patriarch, I am also very... um... sad that your son has died, but you are obviously mentally disturbed now. Did you forget to take your medicine when you went out?"
"So you rejected me?"
"Obviously," Chen shrugged, "I'm not in the habit of recognizing my godfather yet."
"I knew you wouldn't agree, but I still wanted to ask. Unfortunately... In this case, don't blame me for not giving you a chance."
The young man laughed dumbly.
"Confidence is a good thing, but being too confident is arrogance. Are you sure you can kill me? You don't think I am the kid who was in your study eight years ago, do you
Even if I want to leave now, can you stop me? "
"Of course I can't stop you, but..." Uchiha-san squinted his eyes and smiled, "Now that we have left, if you want to know how Kage died, your chances will be very small."
"What did you say?"
"I'm sure you heard me clearly."
Chen was silent for a while.
"Take a closer look here..." Uchiha-san looked around and asked, "Do you know where this is?"
After hearing his words, Chen noticed the surrounding environment.
There is a forest in the distance, and some open plains nearby. If you look carefully, you can still vaguely find some traces of human activities in the weeds.
"Those traces you see belong to a village that has long since disappeared."
"Countless villages disappear every year in the Country of Fire, but what's special about this village is that an ambush once occurred here."
"It was precisely because of the ambush fourteen years ago that the local villagers moved away one after another."
"Fourteen years ago?"
"Yes, your father Jing was ambushed and died here."
Uchiha-san continued to smile and said: "It's been fourteen years. It's been so long since I turned my glasses. Now, besides that person, I should be the one who understands this matter clearly.
After all, I made some exchanges with him and replaced your father's Sharingan, which is now in my left eye.
What, you don’t want to leave? "
The young man nodded, "I really don't want to leave. I want to kill you first before leaving."
Uchiha-san laughed and said: "Come on then, who was your father attacked back then, and who gave me this eye... As long as you can defeat me, I will tell you."
