After a moment of silence, he raised his head and said: "I am willing to atone for my sins...but I also ask Konoha to let the Kong Ninja Village go."
"Then it depends on your performance."
Uchiha Mitsuki waved, motioning for Katsuta to follow.
"Then my subordinate resigns."
"Go for it!"
After receiving permission, the members of the Root flashed and disappeared into the vast night.
Uchiha Mitsuki took Katsuta towards his home.
On the way, just to be on the safe side, he gave Minato's golden mask to Katsuta.
The reason why he kept Katsuta was because in Uchiha Mitsuki's view, this man was a mechanized talent, and he wanted to give him the job of developing spaceships.
Silently all the way, the two of them spent some time arriving at Uchiha Mitsuki's home.
However, looking at the dark night, Uchiha Mitsuki always felt as if he had forgotten something recently.
"What exactly is it?"
After thinking about it carefully, he couldn't think of it anymore, so forget it.
At this moment, a certain Hei Jue, who was imprisoned in the precious jade, was crying very sadly...
…
In the morning, the sun is just right.
At this moment, people gathered on both sides of the road in front of Konoha's gate.
Today is the day when the ninja army returns triumphantly.
"came back!"
"Thanks for your hard work!"
At this moment, at the front of the ninja phalanx are the ninjas who have made their names this time. Sakumo, Orochimaru, Tsunade, and Jiraiya are among them.
Ninjas who performed well such as Fugaku, Uchiha Tatsu, Hinata Haiki, Yuhi Makou, etc. followed closely behind.
"My son will be back today."
An elderly grandma said to the unknown passers-by around her. At this moment, even her wrinkled face showed a deep smile.
Her son is an outstanding Jonin in the village. Although she did not give him much help, her son still stood out among the family ninjas.
"My husband is coming back too..."
The young woman wearing a white flower in her hair did not dissuade her grandma, although her eyes were filled with tears.
"Look, he's back!" Grandma muttered, and then waved wildly to her son who was returning to the team: "Gouzi, Gouzi! I'm here!"
In the ninja formation, hearing the old mother's call, a dark-skinned middle-aged ninja looked towards the old woman.
"Mom! I'm back!"
The man waved excitedly.
"It'll be good when you come back, it'll be good when you come back!"
As she watched her son follow the team away, the smile on her face continued. It wasn't until her son's back completely disappeared from sight that the excitement and joy in her heart slowly faded away.
"Girl, your husband is coming back...?"
Turning her head and seeing the white flowers on the young woman's hair, grandma's heart twitched and she subconsciously closed her mouth.
"Sorry, I don't know..."
"It doesn't matter, grandma, he's back too..."
Looking at the ninjas holding black urns one after another in the middle of the square, the young woman's voice was indescribably gentle.
She had been prepared when her lover went to the battlefield, but when she received the news yesterday, it was still difficult for her to accept it.
As promised, what about coming back to eat the food she cooked?
You promised to come back and go shopping with her?
As promised, what about having a baby when you come back?
He lied to her, and all she could do was come and see him off.
There is a private room on the second floor of the tea house.
"Looks like they're all back!"
Uchiha Mitsuki counted his acquaintances one by one, and he was relieved to find that there was no one missing.
"Kid, do you feel relieved to see your friends back?"
Danzo rarely saw Uchiha Mitsuki's emotional side and couldn't help but joke.
"Have you ever felt this way?"
"That's true."
Thinking of his former self, Danzo nodded noncommittally.
"Next year's war will be even more brutal." Uchiha Mitsuki sat down, picked up the tea cup, and took a sip: "But I want them to come back safely."
"That's not an easy task..."
Danzo's eyes were wandering, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Seeing this, Uchiha Mitsuki also started to think inexplicably.
After a while, he said to Danzo:
"Danzo-sama, how are you doing in infiltrating the intelligence department? Hasn't it been discovered by Monoyan-sama?"
"Kid, don't underestimate the basics. Nowadays, intelligence from various countries is placed on my desk faster than that on that guy Men Yan's desk."
"I can only say that you are truly worthy of being Danzo-sama!"
Uchiha Mitsuki put down the tea cup and praised him sincerely. In his opinion, Danzo's efficiency was really high. Often when he came up with an idea, this guy would implement it very quickly. It was ridiculously fast.
As the only two remaining hawks in the village, he and Danzo have worked closely together over the past four years.
"Did Danzo-sama hear about the Kingdom of Wind?"
"Yes." Danzo nodded: "I didn't expect that the Daimyo of the Wind Country, who has always been strict with Sunagakure, would do this."
"Yes, it is indeed a bit contrary to our previous judgment. It seems that we have to find a way to destroy Sunagakure and Wind Country in their honeymoon period."
"What's your idea?"
Hearing what the young man said, Danzo knew that this guy must have been holding back his emotions.
"It's just an idea, not perfect enough."
"Tell me about it." Danzo was a little curious.
Uchiha Mitsuki lowered his eyes, stared at the tea cup on the table, and said slowly: "Danzo-sama, do you think if someone embezzles the funds given to Sunagakure from the Wind Country at this juncture, will the Third Kazekage explode?
What about fur?"
"Oh?" The corner of Danzo's mouth suddenly curved: "I think so."
"So, we need a suitable candidate to be the fuse of the conflict." Uchiha Mitsuki looked at Danzo with stern eyes: "This person must not only have enough weight, but also win the favor of the Daimyo of the Land of Wind.
"
"In this case, once a scandal breaks out, if the attitude of the daimyo of the Wind Country is to protect this greedy man to the death, then the previous closeness between Sunagakure and the Wind Country will be a joke." Danzo followed Uchiha Mitsuki's words.
, said with a smile: "And I just have the right candidate."
"What a coincidence!"
Uchiha Mitsuki smiled, picked up the tea cup and drank it all, and then made the final addition: "Danzo-sama, what do you think of the timing of this scandal breaking out after Sunagakure's big defeat?
"
"Haha, that's cruel! In this case, the incompetent Sunagakure is even less worth investing in. Kid, the roots will be sorted out."
Danzo also picked up the tea cup and drank it in one gulp. After a while, he was ready to decorate.
The candidate he just mentioned was the only son of the daimyo of the Land of Wind. He believed that such a key point would definitely help Konoha defeat Sunagakure.
"I can trust Danzo-sama to handle affairs." Uchiha Mitsuki nodded - as long as he doesn't mess with Nagato or Konoha, he thinks it's still safe.
