Naruto: I, who didn't want to be hacked to pieces, saved the ninja world.

"hero?"

Uchiha Itachi pondered those two words in a low voice.

"That's right. No matter which village or country you're in, heroes who protect the people, the village, and the country are the ones who are most easily accepted and recognized by the people."

"If the Uchiha become heroes who protect the village, do you think the villagers will still ostracize and protect you? Even if there are bad people who are hostile, the vast majority of the people will choose to support you."

Baiyun Qingye patiently explained.

"But... some people will tarnish the hero's reputation."

Uchiha Itachi lowered his eyes, thinking of that guy Shimura Danzo.

Shisui was once a hero on the battlefield...

"Then you'll have to solve it yourselves."

Baiyun Qingye could only offer one relatively feasible solution.

The actual results will depend on how well the Uchiha clan performs.

Uchiha Itachi also temporarily put this issue aside.

"How can the Uchiha become heroes? After all, there is no war in the ninja world right now."

"There are many opportunities to become a hero; the key is whether you can seize them."

Shirokumo Aoba thought of another ingrate from the Uchiha clan, but he couldn't say it aloud, as it would be difficult to explain the source of the information.

"..."

Uchiha Itachi also fell silent, lowering his head in thought.

Perhaps he could go and discuss it with the three generations of elders.

If the Third Hokage truly wanted to ease the conflict between the village and the Uchiha clan.

The other party will definitely work with him to find a solution.

"Baiyun Qingye, thank you so much!"

Uchiha Itachi bowed ninety degrees to Shirokumo Aoba.

"If only I had come to find you sooner..."

"I was just saying it casually. How to solve it is up to you. I should go back now."

Baiyun Qingye waved his hand, then walked past the other party and headed towards the Thousand Hands Ancestral Home.

This time, Itachi Uchiha did not stop him.

After walking for a while, Baiyun Qingye stopped again. He looked back and saw that Uchiha Itachi in the rain had put his mask back on.

Uchiha Itachi also noticed Shirakumo Aoba's gaze and looked over at him.

"Uchiha Itachi, I don't know what you're thinking when you're wearing a mask, but it's raining heavily today, and getting wet isn't good for your health."

"Pressure Massenet~"

After cosplaying as Kisame, Shirokumo Aoba turned and left without looking back.

Uchiha Itachi watched silently until Shirokumo Aoba's figure completely disappeared.

He hesitated for a moment, then used the Instantaneous Movement Technique to disappear from the spot.

In the forest, Itachi Uchiha arrived at the banks of the Naga River, the place where Shisui Uchiha died.

"Still water..."

"Uchiha Itachi, are you feeling despair now?"

A voice suddenly rang out behind Itachi Uchiha.

Upon hearing the voice, he reacted instantly, a kunai appearing in his hand.

He then quickly turned around, threw the kunai from his hand, and shot it towards the source of the sound.

The kunai sliced ​​through the air and instantly pierced the man's body.

Unexpectedly, the kunai passed right through the man's body and embedded itself in the tree trunk behind him.

Not a drop of blood was drawn.

The person was wearing an orange tiger-striped mask. After recognizing the person, Itachi Uchiha stopped what he was doing.

"It's you!"

-

Shirokumo Aoba quickly arrived at the door of Tsunade's house.

He had just talked so much with Itachi Uchiha, but he didn't know how effective it was.

After all, the Uchiha who awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan were all diodes.

However, judging from Itachi's expression just now, he probably did take some of what he heard to heart.

"Ok?"

Standing under the eaves, Baiyun Qingye saw an umbrella placed at the door.

Are there any guests?

Instead of using his key to open the door, he chose to knock.

"Don't you have the key?"

Tsunade opened the door and looked at Shirokumo Aoba with some confusion.

"Uh...we just saw there were guests."

Baiyun Qingye pointed to the umbrella outside the door.

"There are quite a few of these kinds of little schemes."

Tsunade rolled her eyes at him, then looked him over carefully again. "Are you alright?"

"Huh?" Baiyun Qingye was stunned for a moment, then realized that while she was talking to Uchiha Itachi, she was probably under Tsunade's perception the whole time.

As a result, Itachi Uchiha still acted confidently as if no one could detect him.

"It's nothing, he just chatted with me for a while."

"That's good, please come in!"

Shirokumo Aoba followed Tsunade into the house.

Once inside, he understood why Itachi Uchiha had suddenly appeared at his doorstep.

He's probably waiting for his mother...

Mikoto Uchiha was sitting on the sofa in the living room, wearing a dark blue dress, with long black hair, exuding a gentle aura.

Mikoto Uchiha noticed Aoba Shirakumo's gaze, stood up, and gave him a smile.

"You must be Aoba. I often hear Sasuke mention you."

“I am Sasuke’s mother, Uchiha Mikoto. You can call me Aunt Mikoto.”

"Aunt Mikoto," Shirokumo Aoya greeted politely.

Mikoto Uchiha maintained her smile and then bowed slightly.

"Thank you so much for being willing to become friends with Sasuke. Although that kid has a bit of an awkward personality, he is actually very happy to be able to become friends with you."

"Aunt Mikoto, you're too kind. We became friends with Sasuke because we knew that," Shirakumo Aoba replied with a smile.

"Then I'll trouble Aoba to take Sasuke under his wing more often in the future."

After exchanging pleasantries with Shirakumo Aoba, Uchiha Mikoto turned to Tsunade and said, "Lady Tsunade, I apologize for the intrusion today. I will take my leave now and visit again another time."

"Hmm." Tsunade nodded with a complicated expression.

Before leaving, Mikoto Uchiha said one last thing.

"Lady Tsunade, please reconsider my suggestion."

It wasn't until Mikoto Uchiha left that Tsunade collapsed onto the sofa without any regard for her image.

He looked exhausted, as if his battery had been completely depleted.

Bai Yunqingye didn't ask any more questions; he had already roughly guessed what was going on.

He walked over to Tsunade and took out the tulips he had prepared from his pocket.

"teacher."

"flower?"

Tsunade looked at Shirakumo Aoba with some confusion.

Baiyun Qingye smiled and said, "It's for you."

Tsunade's eyes immediately turned playful.

"No wonder you came back so late after delivering medicine. Tell me, how many people did you deliver these flowers to?"

"hey-hey."

Shirokumo Aoba didn't answer. After handing the flowers to Tsunade, she ran upstairs, saying, "I'm going to check on Sakura."

"Stinky brat!"

Tsunade couldn't help but laugh and scold, then brought the flower in her hand to her nose and smelled it.

It smells quite good.
