Naruto: The Brightest Star

"Come to think of it, I don't even know your name."

Uchiha Kagami looked at Uchiha Xing with a smile.

"Me? My name is Haneko-sei."

Uchiha Xing told the other party his fake name.

"Xing, really? My aunt was also called Xing, but she passed away a long, long time ago." Uchiha Jing said with some melancholy.

"Hey? So we are so destined to each other? Can you tell me her story?"

Uchiha Xing pretended to be a child who wanted to hear a story and looked at Uchiha Jing.

Come on! Little mirror... old mirror! Let me see the position of your aunt in your heart!

"Okay~"

Uchiha Jing smiled and looked at the road ahead. The story of the past seemed to reappear before his eyes.

"My aunt is a gentle and kind person? She loves Konoha very much, and in the days when all the techniques there belonged to the family, she was willing to take out the medical ninjutsu she knew and teach everyone."

"She is Konoha's hero, and she is willing to sacrifice her life for Konoha."

Eh?! So this is how I feel in his mind...

really...

Praise more! I love to hear it!

Uchiha Xing raised his hand and covered his mouth as if nothing had happened, suppressing the upturned corners of his mouth.

"Although she always fooled me when I was little, she is indeed a good aunt. She told me not to hate easily, told me to love the people around me, and told me to protect Konoha."

"She has always been my role model. One day, I will be someone like my aunt."

No, your aunt has wanted to be an ordinary person for a long time. If it weren't for special circumstances, I, your aunt, would have been drinking tea, eating snacks, and living a leisurely retirement.

Although he complained in his heart, Uchiha Xing smiled and said, "Grandpa's words will definitely work."

After hearing this, Uchiha Jing smiled at Uchiha Xing.

"Hey~ I'm old now, I just like to chat with people, just don't think I'm noisy."

"how could be."

No matter how much you hear people praise you, it's never enough.

"Grandpa hasn't told me the story yet."

Uchiha Xing smiled and spoke.

"I almost forgot."

Uchiha Jing chuckled and followed Uchiha Xing as he told her about his aunt's deeds.

Uchiha Xing was listening nearby.

Soon Uchiha Xing discovered that the way others described him seemed completely different from what he understood.

In Uchiha Kagami's words, Uchiha Xing always seems to be gentle, cheerful, selfless and loving.

A person who chose to live in peace with the man who killed her husband for the greater good.

Hiss~ That Bai...that person who sounds like he only loves Konoha is me???

Uchiha Xing looked away feeling somewhat guilty.

If it weren't for Izuna's last words, I would never have taken on so many things on my own initiative for the sake of my clan members.

Ah~ I finally understood what the strange tone of voice of Brother Ban meant when he came back to see me. It turns out that Brother Ban also misunderstood me at that time!

Uchiha Xing's thoughts were in a mess, and before he knew it, he had arrived at the Uchiha clan's territory.

"Little girl, just send us here. Going forward is the Uchiha clan's territory. Outsiders entering may cause you some trouble."

Uchiha Jing stopped and looked at Uchiha Xing with some apology.

"I see. Goodbye then."

Uchiha Xing said and turned to leave. After a few steps, Uchiha Xing stopped, turned to look at Uchiha Jing and said: "When you have nothing to do, do something happy, don't always show such a sad expression. I believe that your aunt also hopes that you can live happily."

After saying this, Uchiha Xing ran away, leaving Uchiha Jing a little dazed.

......

Uchiha Xing sat under a tree in a daze.

You may not believe it, but as someone who has lived in Konoha for more than ten years, I am actually lost at this time!

No! How could I get lost on such a simple road!

Uchiha Xing covered his face with one hand, his eyes full of confusion.

This is not right? This is not scientific! I actually got lost in Konoha? Is Konoha bigger, or are there more buildings?

Uchiha Xing raised his hands and rubbed his face, then stood up.

Forget it, find a high place and then see where the Hokage Rock is. Once you find the Hokage Rock, you can find the way.

Uchiha Xing thought so and quickly looked for a high place.

As the Uchiha Star was moving rapidly,

Suddenly I felt a chill.

Uchiha Xing, who was originally rushing forward, stopped, pushed his feet hard, and quickly retreated.

"Dong dong!"

Two shurikens were inserted into the tree, and a figure quickly appeared in front of Uchiha Xing.

"Who are you? How did you get to the Uchiha clan's territory?"

A boy about eight years old, holding a short blade, pointed it at Uchiha Xing.

"So, I accidentally walked into the Uchiha clan territory?!"

Uchiha Xing raised his hand and rubbed his temple, then his eyes fell on the short blade in the boy's hand.

This knife...isn't it the one that Brother Ban gave to that kid Jing?

Uchiha Xing set his sights on the boy, and even though the face was a little childish, Uchiha Xing still recognized who he was.

Uchiha Shisui....

"Little brother, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't expect to come to your tribe's land. Um, do you know how to get out?"

Uchiha Xing clasped his hands together and looked pitiful.

"Looking at your clothes, you don't look like someone from Konoha."

Uchiha Shisui looked Uchiha Xing up and down and asked.

"I am indeed not from Konoha, I am from the Land of Rain. I just arrived in Konoha today. As for why I came to your clan's land, it is because I just sent an old man back home, and on the way back I accidentally got lost. After wandering around for a long time, I ended up here."

Uchiha Xing's tone was full of helplessness.

Uchiha Shisui looked Uchiha Xing up and down, and after making sure that the other party was not lying, Uchiha Shisui put away the short blade in his hand.

"From the look of you, you don't seem to be lying. I'll take you away from here."

Uchiha Shisui said this and began to lead Uchiha Xing.

"From your skills, you are also a ninja?"

Uchiha Shisui looked at Uchiha Xing with some curiosity.

"Ah."

Uchiha Star nodded.

"Since you're a ninja, why did you choose to go into business?"

Uchiha Shisui looked at Uchiha Xing, who was a few years older than him, and really didn't understand why a good ninja didn't continue to be a ninja and go into business.

"Because doing business is safe. At least I don't have to risk my life for a living."

Uchiha Xing laughed softly.

It's a pity that she doesn't become a ninja despite her great skills.

A trace of regret flashed in Uchiha Shisui's eyes.

"Come to think of it, that short blade you have looks pretty good. It's a chakra blade, right?"

Uchiha Xing asked as he glanced at the short blade behind Uchiha Shisui.

"This short blade?"

Uchiha Shisui subconsciously raised his hand and touched the short blade behind him.

"This was given to me by my grandfather. My grandfather said that this was a chakra knife given to him by someone very important to him."

Seeing Uchiha Xing asking about his short blade, Uchiha Shisui told Uchiha Xing the origin of the short blade.

"Important person?"

Uchiha Xing whispered, then smiled.

It seems that the child did not tell this child the origin of the short blade.

That’s true. After all, the name Uchiha Madara is now a taboo in the Uchiha clan.

Soon, Uchiha Shisui took Uchiha Xing out of the clan territory.

"If you keep going straight along this road, you will reach the residential area of ​​Konoha. Next to the residential area is the commercial street."

Uchiha Shisui pointed to the road ahead and said, "Follow Uchiha Xing."

"Okay, thank you very much. As a thank you gift, this is for you."

Uchiha Xing took out a bottle of milk and handed it to Uchiha Shisui.

"milk?"

Uchiha Shisui took the milk and said something in surprise, but when he looked up, Uchiha Xing had already walked away.

Well~ I finally got out.

Uchiha Xing breathed a sigh of relief, and then went to stay in the hotel he had rented in advance.

Rest, rest~

......

A few days passed in a flash, and Uchiha Xing had already become familiar with the surroundings.

On this day, when Uchiha Xing was thinking about whether to take a hot spring bath, a ninja came to him.

"Ms. Yuori, right? The Hokage wants to see you."

"okay, I get it."

Uchiha Xing nodded with a smile, then followed the ninja to the Hokage Building.

"Hokage-sama, are you here to discuss the shopping mall?"

Uchiha Xing came in and asked with a smile Namikaze Minato who was sitting above.

"That is indeed the case, but are you really coming to Konoha just for business and not for anything else, the leader of the Rain Country, Ms. Haori Hoshi."

Minato Namikaze looked at Uchiha Star with sharp eyes.

"Hey~ I didn't expect that the Hokage would come to the Rain Country to get to know me~ This makes me feel very honored~"

Uchiha Xing smiled, then looked at Namikaze Minato and said, "I am indeed here for business. I would rather be a businessman than a dangerous ninja. I believe that the Hokage should have investigated it clearly. Two days ago, I saw the deliveryman of my company came to Konoha. The Hokage should have used the Den Den Mushi. How does it feel?"

Namikaze Minato looked at Uchiha Xing for a long time, and then started the conversation: "Regarding the shopping mall you mentioned, I have discussed it with the consultants, and also consulted with the capital. We can agree that you build a shopping mall in Konoha, but we have one requirement, that is, the employees must be our Konoha personnel."

"Of course! After all, it is too troublesome to call for manpower. We are also very happy to choose local people as store clerks, which can also promote the employment rate. It is a win-win situation. However, we will have unified training before the opening to explain the company's philosophy to them."

Uchiha Xing was still very happy with this situation.

"Of course, I wish us a pleasant cooperation."

Namikaze Minato said as he handed a document to Uchiha Xing.

“A pleasure to work with~”
