Chapter 160: High-level inquiries, nonsense
A few days later, when Uchiha Xin's nutrition was almost complete, he said goodbye to the elder and headed towards his hut.
In the past few days, the great elder told him everything that happened between when he fell into coma and when he woke up.
As a ninja, he had been prepared for Eita's death;
However, it was really hard to accept that he did not die on the battlefield, but was killed by a sinister villain who belonged to Konoha.
[Shimura Taishi is dead, but he is definitely not the mastermind. With my current strength, it will take time to avenge him...]
He didn't care who his enemy was and what impact it would have on Konoha after he was killed.
He only cares about taking revenge and complaining after ensuring the safety of those he cares about.
He clenched his fists, feeling the extremely slow recovery of strength in his body, and shook his head helplessly.
When he looked up, he had arrived at the door of his cabin.
dong~dong~
"Who's coming? Wait a minute."
"Grandma, it's me."
His subconscious mind made him shout loudly that he couldn't wait to see his relatives who had been with him for many years.
"Xiao Xin? Xiao Xin! Is it really you?"
The trembling old woman hurriedly walked into the hospital, her originally dull eyes flashed with a look of survival.
Grandma Xin is not ignorant. She also worked as a ninja when she was young.
A few days ago, when she saw Uchiha Mai off, she saw Inuzuka Suzu. At that time, her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
In particular, Inuzuka Suzu, who was originally shy but somewhat energetic, became very dark.
She was extremely familiar with this kind of darkness. The news that her former companion, lover, and son and his wife died on the battlefield pushed her into the abyss of darkness every time.
Fortunately, Xin helped her get out of the trough of despair.
On this day, it was Xin who appeared again when she could hardly hold on any longer.
Grandma Xin quickly rushed to Uchiha Xin and hugged him. Her tears soaked Xin's shoulders like a clear stream.
"Come back, Xin is back!"
"Grandma...Grandma, I'm worrying you."
Xin supported her trembling grandma and walked slowly towards the inner room.
For several days, Uchiha Shin stayed in his hut. In addition to continuing to refine chakra and exercising physical skills to restore his body functions, he stayed with Grandma Shin.
He didn't even go out to the Uchiha clan to avoid being targeted by people in the dark.
Very few people from outside the clan can enter the Uchiha clan. Even if the Hokage is directly under the ANBU, they will not easily step into it unless necessary.
However, the news that the injury was improving still reached the ears of Konoha's top brass.
dong~dong~
On this day, Uchiha Gourd came to Xin's house and brought an order to summon the Hokage.
Originally, the day after Tsunade came back, ANBU ninja came to ask Uchiha whether Xin was getting better, but was delayed again and again by the elder. Xin's physical condition was not optimistic and he politely refused.
Now, Sarutobi Hiruzen gradually lost his patience, causing Uchiha Gourd to immediately take Xin to the Hokage Building.
Regarding the Three War of the Ninja World, any ninja or anyone in Konoha must obey the Hokage's orders.
"I have met the Great Elder, Xiao Shen...he is no longer suitable to be a ninja, why did the Hokage still summon him?"
Grandma Xin's heart, which had been calm for a few days, started to rise again.
"Don't worry, I'm just asking about the battlefield, not assigning a task."
Uchiha Hukuan explained that he did not become indifferent because Uchiha Xin "lost" his talent.
However, the great elder has given up hope on Xin's future and is counting on his and his granddaughter's descendants to inherit Xin's special line of succession.
"Grandma, don't worry. Even Tsunade-sama said that my path as a ninja is dead, and the Hokage will never let me go to the battlefield again."
"That's good, that's good!"
Later, Xin followed the elder to the Hokage's office. In addition to the Third Hokage, there were two other advisory elders, but Danzo was not there.
"See Hokage-sama."
"No gift, sit down."
Sarutobi Hiruzen said kindly, motioning for the two of them to sit on a chair nearby.
"Thank you, Lord Huoying."
The two of them sat down, their thoughts changing rapidly.
[Although the third-generation old man has always seemed like a good guy on the surface, he was a bit too nice today. 】
"Xin, I am deeply gratified about your performance on the battlefield. You saved hundreds of fellow ninjas in Konoha and helped Minato defeat the Kumogakure army."
Sarutobi Hiruzen said from the bottom of his heart that no matter how scheming he was, he still cared about the lives of Konoha ninjas.
"This is what I should do. I am also a member of Konoha. Defeating Kumogakure is the credit of many ninjas in Konoha, and it is also the wise leadership of Lord Hokage."
Xin immediately stated that business bragging would be good for both parties' moods.
Uchiha Gourd, who was sitting next to Shen, glanced at Shen secretly and remained calm.
[This kid...maybe able to handle social interactions within the clan in the future. 】
"You are really young and promising, but to protect you, the information about you on the battlefield has been classified as Konoha's secret, so... you should understand."
Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't say it clearly, but the meaning was obvious. The credit for that victory had nothing to do with Uchiha Shin.
"My subordinate understands."
Xin is not interested in the fame of heroes, nor does he want to be too high-profile. It is better to pay more money to be attractive.
Moreover, he had borrowed the chakra of hundreds of Konoha companions to barely release the Heart-Eye Fire Spirit Titan, and his own strength was not yet up to par with the hero.
"Xin, where did you learn that ninjutsu?"
Finally the topic was asked.
"Replying to the Hokage-sama, my subordinates are not sure either."
Xin replied hesitantly.
"What does uncertainty mean? Did you release it randomly?"
Xiaochun, who was sitting on the other side, said seriously.
"Xiaochun, please be patient and let Xin finish."
Sarutobi Hiruzen still looked like a peacemaker.
"Ah."
After turning to bed, Xiaochun nodded and said no more words.
"That's a ninjutsu that my subordinates developed by luck while practicing fire escape and sealing techniques."
"Oh? Is it a ninjutsu you developed yourself?!"
Several people in the office were amazed by his talent in ninjutsu, but also felt sorry for Xin's current situation.
"What are the conditions for learning this ninjutsu?"
Mitomon asked suddenly.
"I'm not sure. After all, it's not fully developed yet, and I..."
Uchiha Shin replied with an embarrassed look on his face.
"But it doesn't matter."
Sarutobi Hiruzen was also quite interested in this.
"First of all, it is a type of fire escape ninjutsu; secondly, it also needs to be integrated with the sealing technique; and finally, it is the bloodline of Uchiha."
"Uchiha bloodline? Aren't you already blind... aren't your eyes damaged?"
Mito Monen asked doubtfully.
"This... I haven't studied it in depth, it's just a feeling."
Xin just pretends to be stupid and doesn't understand. If you want him to contribute the method of summoning the Ninjutsu of Heart Eye Fire Spirit, he will just talk about it casually. Once someone fails to practice, he will say that he lacks Uchiha blood.
As for the Uchiha clan members, the Grand Elder will go and persuade them. If they are really stubborn, they are asking for it.
