Chapter 118 The True Self (1W1)(2/5)
If Izumi knew what he had to go through to awaken the Sharingan...
With her current extreme personality, is it possible that she would go astray for the sake of strength?
Sure enough, I still have to talk to the Hokage-sama.
Quan stopped asking.
She stood up and said indifferently: "I understand."
Uchiha Shisui watched her leave and subconsciously asked: "Where are you going?"
"Instead of waiting for you to trouble Mr. Hokage to find me in time, why not take the initiative to report the situation to him... Perhaps, it would be easier this way."
After her words fell, Uchiha Shisui could only stop where he was, but some emotions were still lingering in his heart. He finally couldn't help it and asked: "What did you just say!
"I talk about companionship and friendship, but place all my hopes on others. When I encounter dangers and difficulties, I still expect my friends to solve my burden." What is the reason for this sentence?
!?
Why!?"
Uchiha Izumi stopped.
She turned to look at Uchiha Shisui, lowered her eyes, and after a while, she said softly: "I'm sorry, I was a little... rude just now.
But if you want to know why I would say this to you.
I want to ask you...
If Uchiha turns against you tomorrow, what will you do?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhisui became nervous subconsciously. He looked around and whispered: "What do you mean?"
"Are the little tricks you did within the clan really useful?"
"To put it bluntly, you still hope that you can rely on everyone's strength to stop this big ship sailing into the abyss.
But what people need is not a group of sailors.
But a captain who can take the helm of the ship."
"If I had the power you have, then I would personally use this knife before they decide to take action... to chop down the Fugaku clan leader and anyone who dares to follow him." Uchiha Izumi looked at him, meaning
He left a profound sentence: "So, what about you?"
After saying these words, Uchiha Izumi had already left.
Uchiha Shisui stood there blankly.
for a long time.
He lowered his eyes.
Only the clenched fists gradually tightened.
...
In Hinata Yuzuru's office, an old friend who had not been seen for a long time came.
Uchiha Spring.
She was wearing a black tights, not the common green tactical vest, but a special black vest. She could wear weights on weekdays as a training prop, and she could also insert steel plates for protection during battle.
She has black hair tied into a high ponytail, a long knife stuck across her waist, and the bright phoenix eyes under the Konoha forehead protector are bright and piercing, making her look a bit sharp.
"Lord Godaime."
She bowed her head respectfully and said hello.
"Izumi..." Hinata Yuzuru smiled first, then looked at her respectful look and said softly: "Actually, just call me Yuzuru as before..."
Uchiha Izumi raised his head and looked at the increasingly mature and handsome man in front of him. His eyes were briefly absent for a moment, and he lowered his eyes: "Yes, Yuzuru-sama."
For some reason, even though she is used to many people calling her "sama", the cheerful and cute little girl in front of her who used to follow behind her and call Yuzuru one after another has turned into what she is now, but it still makes Hinata Yuzuru a little confused.
The mood is complicated.
But he didn't say anything, just smiled and said: "How are you doing recently?"
"I'm fine, thank you Yuzuru-sama for your concern." She still behaved as calmly as she did with the others, but it was obvious that she was still a little closer than the others.
The most intuitive manifestation is the slightly raised corners of her mouth that she unconsciously raised at this moment.
Uchiha Izumi stood up straight, and her beautiful face looked a little softer in the sunlight. But when she thought of the purpose of her visit, her smile disappeared and she became a little colder.
"I came here this time because I have special information and I need to report it to Lord Godaime."
She paused, not knowing whether what she did was right or wrong, but the previous conversation with Shisui still touched her a little, and she made a decision at that moment about what she was originally hesitant about.
Hyuga Yuzuru looked at her curiously, while Uchiha Izumi said directly: "The information I want to report this time is related to Uchiha Madara, who is supposed to be dead."
Uchiha Izumi slowly told the story about Uchiha Madara, that is, Obito during this period of time.
Including the detailed process of how her teacher and companions were killed by him, including her understanding and knowledge of Uchiha "Madara" when she and Uchiha "Madara" met on and off several times.
After telling this information, Izumi Uchiha knelt down on one knee and lowered his head: "I deliberately concealed the enemy's information, and I ask the Godaime-sama to punish me."
Hinata Yuzuru stood up and reached out to support her shoulders. The shoulders looked thin, but they could touch the strong muscles inside.
"Don't be like this... I don't like it... and I'm not used to it." After he finished speaking, Uchiha Izumi raised his head and saw that he was really troubled, which was rare. He looked at himself with a complicated expression and just took a sip.
Purse.
She lowered her head again and just said: "In any case, by concealing Uchiha Madara's information, I may have made a huge mistake and laid hidden dangers. As a ninja, especially an ANBU ninja, this is my dereliction of duty."
.”
"Get up first and then talk." Hinata Yuzuru exerted a little force, and Izumi's resistance disappeared. She was forced to stand up, and her eyes met with Hinata Yuzuru's.
She pursed her lips tightly, not knowing what to do.
In fact, she was already prepared for Hinata Yuzuru to be angry, but at this moment, there was no anger or confusion in the other party's eyes. Instead, it only appeared because of her own attitude.
A little...lost!?
Quan didn't think for a moment where his loss came from.
Hinata Yuzuru sighed, rarely smiling anymore. Instead, after she stood up, she returned to the desk and sat on the chair. She was slightly tired.
He crossed the fingers of his hands, stood with his elbows on the table, supported his chin with his hands, looked at him with complex eyes, and said softly: "Compared with these, what I care more about is whether you still... trust me."
Uchiha Izumi immediately said seriously: "Whether as a person or as a ninja, I trust Yuzuru-sama very much."
"Then why...from that day on, you seem to be avoiding me on purpose?
Is it because I failed to protect your teachers and peers?
I'm sorry, I was really not capable enough at that time, and I didn't expect that such a thing would happen..."
Hinata Yuzuru said, but was interrupted by Izumi Uchiha shaking his head vigorously: "No, that's not the case."
She showed a rare hint of weakness, opened her mouth, and finally looked directly at him: "None of this has anything to do with you."
"Even if you don't become a ninja, as long as you live in this world, even if you stay in a village in Konoha... things like the Nine-Tails Rebellion will happen."
Uchiha Izumi once again explained his understanding of life to Hinata Yuzuru, and he just listened silently and attentively. In the end, Izumi made a summary of his transformation.
"So...it's not that I'm deliberately alienating you, it's just..."
She took a deep breath, then pretended to be relaxed and showed a rare smile: "You are like a condor running towards the sun and the moon, and I, as an inconspicuous crow, just look at your speed,
It has already made people despair.
If I ask you to stop and wait for me, it will only make me feel guilty.
It's better to just walk at the pace of a crow and take care of yourself.
What kind of path I can take and whether I can meet you again in heaven are left to fate.
What I have to do, what I can do...that's probably all I can do."
Uchiha Izumi said calmly: "At least now, I am walking on a path that I think is right. No matter what the outcome is, I believe that maybe that is the ending I am destined to have."
Hinata Yuzuru just put down the hand on his chin, put it on his lap, leaned back on the chair, looked at her with a look that was both gratifying and unspeakable, and said softly: "Actually, I don't believe it at all.
Things like fate.
I only believe that destiny is achieved through struggle and struggle.
Like me, my family was separated in Hyuga when I was born, and I suffered the fate of a caged bird - if I had chosen to leave everything to fate, then I would not be able to be here today.
Quan, as a friend, I sincerely wish you the ability to control your own destiny... and gain the results you want."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Quan, whose expression became somewhat emotional and heavy as a result, and showed her familiar gentle smile, with a hint of joking: "Also, since you have concealed this matter, why,
Do you want to talk to me today again?"
In fact, Hyuga Yuzuru had already guessed who the murderer was behind the scenes by consulting the information recorded by ANBU after investigating the battlefield in private.
Naturally, it was Uchiha Obito who had caused many tragedies in Konoha.
It's just that Obito's whereabouts are elusive and he has never appeared around Konoha in the past few years since Danzo ran away. Even the meeting with Izumi was when she was doing tasks outside, so it was difficult for Hinata Yuzuru to catch him.
Although Obito's fate is very sad and he is a completely tragic figure in the history of Naruto, his tragedy cannot be a reason to forgive his sins.
