Naruto: The Beautiful Uchiha is Actually Me?

Chapter 149 Let's go home together and take a look?

In the Shimura clan chief's office, Musashi was racking his brains for a way out of the predicament. The Shimura clan was facing an unprecedented crisis, and he was walking on thin ice, knowing that one wrong move could lead to the extinction of the clan.

However, he wasn't too worried. As long as he held on, Konoha, which claimed to uphold benevolence and peace, would never stoop to attacking the Shimura clan.

But this was clearly not in their interest; they wanted more.

Just as he was frowning in distress, a dark shadow slowly emerged from the ground behind him...

Without a breath or any chakra fluctuation, it stood silently behind him like a ghost, its two beady eyes blinking, and a hideous smile curling at the corners of its mouth...

......

The atmosphere in Konoha today is also very good!

The sunlight was still very bright. Although the Hokage Rock was still the same big rock, construction would not begin until the location of the Hokage was decided.

However, Hashirama has returned! He has returned from the capital of the Land of Fire with good news, as well as a large amount of supplies and money.

In the office, the high-ranking officials of Konoha and the heads of various clans all looked at Hashirama with some excitement...

"I am honored to announce that our Konoha Village has received official recognition! From now on, it will serve as the sole military force of the Land of Fire to protect the safety of this forest!"

The undisguised joy in Hashirama's voice instantly set the entire office abuzz...

"Haha, doesn't that mean we can also earn bounties by completing tasks?"

"That's not all! We can also take on protection missions for various events, which greatly expands the employment opportunities for ninjas!"

"There shouldn't be a shortage of resources, and we also need to ensure our children receive a good education..."

"Yes, and the medical system too. We need to do everything we can to treat our comrades who are seriously ill or seriously injured!"

Everyone was discussing it, but all their thoughts were positive. This is understandable; after all, they had lived through war, and now that they had finally achieved peace, everyone naturally wanted to live a stable and peaceful life...

After the atmosphere had become pleasant for a while, it was Tobirama's turn to speak.

Although he didn't want to dampen everyone's enthusiasm, Tobirama still slowly pressed his hand down and said solemnly, "Although we have received material and financial assistance from the Daimyo, we have a cooperative relationship with them. In other words, we also have the responsibility to protect the territory of the Land of Fire."

Tobirama paused, and the scene immediately fell silent...

Ban glanced at everyone's reactions and couldn't help but nod in approval.

None of the people present were cowards; when it came to fulfilling their duties, they all put away their joy and adopted solemn and serious expressions.

“Of course.” Madara spoke first, taking the lead. “Now that we have obtained supplies and money, we must fulfill our duties as ninjas. Although there will be more or less danger in future missions, we are ninjas after all.”

Hashirama nodded and smiled slightly, saying, "But everyone doesn't need to worry too much. Our Land of Fire is relatively safe now, and haven't we all put aside our prejudices? We are now fellow villagers, not enemies."

Takita seemed to be deep in thought. Although Hashirama and Madara made it sound easy, a ninja's mission is to complete tasks. In other words, in the future, in addition to the tasks they actively request to take on, some tasks will be assigned to them.

This type of assigned task cannot be refused unless there are special circumstances.

However, Takita didn't seem to mind too much. It was normal; he also had to go on missions sometimes and couldn't always hide in the village and enjoy its protection...

Yan Yi and Ban Jian were huddled together in the corner, though it wasn't particularly noticeable.

Yan was thinking that he knew the process all too well, and was actually quite relaxed about the current situation. After all, their village was now in a leading position, concentrating resources for common development in everything they did, so the things he was worried about... shouldn't happen so soon.

After Hashirama and Madara explained the changes in the process, the heads of the various clans readily agreed, saying that they would definitely select talents from their clans to join the big family of Konoha Village.

Judging from the current system, each family still retains a portion of its own strength, while also sending a portion to join the village's system.

Yan Yi knew that he had nothing to do right now. He also thought that it had been a long time since he had returned to his clan's territory. Ninety percent of the original clan members had gradually moved to Konoha Village, but some people were still in the old clan territory.

On their way home, Yan Yi suddenly reached out and took Ban Jian's little hand, asking with great interest, "Ban Ban, if you have some free time recently, could you come with me back to our clan's territory?"

"Hmm?" Itama paused for a moment, then agreed without much thought, "Okay! Is it going back to the old clan territory? That's perfect... I actually want to go back and take a look too."

“Okay! Then let’s go back to my place first, and then I’ll go with you to visit your place!” Yan Yi readily agreed, looking very happy.

When Itama heard Yan Yi's words, a strange emotion welled up inside him. He was instantly pulled into memories... that dark little cell, and the stone bed where he and Yan Yi had spent countless nights together. He actually wanted to go back and see it...

It's been so many years, I haven't been back there...

Yan Yi was unaware of Itama's thoughts. He was currently contemplating Itama's earlier mention of going home, which reminded him of that secluded little cave and pond...

If possible, he would like to spend another night with Banban inside.

Perhaps it's a return to familiar places. After so much time and so many changes, the helplessness and sadness of the past are long gone.

They are living a very happy and fulfilling life now.

“Since we’ve decided to go back, why don’t we set off tomorrow morning?” Yan Yi said excitedly, holding Ban Jian’s hand.

Itama remained the same as always; he would agree with anything Yan Yi suggested.

She's really well-behaved.

“We need to tell our brothers first,” Itama added.

"Of course, but let's go together this time. Anyway... it's pretty safe now."

Yan Yi wasn't too worried, since it wasn't far from the village to the ancestral lands of the two families.

Part of the reason he wanted to go back was because there were people he missed in the Uchiha clan's old ancestral lands. His mother still lived there, saying she wanted to spend a few more years with his father, who had died in battle...

Father...

Thinking of her father, Uchiha Tajima, Yan's eyes welled up with tears... But everything was what her father would have wanted to see. At least now everyone is at peace, the war is over, and the entire forest has regained its vitality...

When his father gave him a "third option," he must have already been looking forward to this day.

Of course, he also needs to visit his first master's shrine to examine the stone tablet... He wonders if his Sharingan can discern anything now. Has Black Zetsu altered its contents?

Finally, there's Kazuhiko, who remains unconscious. When he wakes up, he'll probably find it hard to accept. The war is over, and everyone has even built a village together...

"Yan Yi... Yan Yi?"

The sound from the board pulled Yan Yi back to reality.

"Huh? Sorry, I was just spacing out!"

Looking at Banban's worried expression, Yan Yi couldn't help but want to ruffle his hair again... It's so strange, Banban's hairstyle is half black and smooth like Hashirama's older brother, and the other half is white and frizzy like Tobirama's older brother...

Speaking of which, who did Nawajian inherit from?

Seeing Yan Yi staring at his hair for a long time, Itama became a little embarrassed and explained, "Isn't my hair really ugly...? It's strange, isn't it? The right side of my hair is from my father, while the left side has my mother's features..."

"No, no! How could it be strange! I love it so much!" Yan Yi said without any hesitation.

Itama felt embarrassed again upon hearing this, but Yan Yi was indeed speaking from the heart. He really liked this black and white fur feature—it was so cute.

"Yan Yi, I'd like to take you to meet my mother, is that alright?" Itama whispered.

"Alright, after all, I kidnapped his youngest son, so I have to apologize...hehe~"

Yan Yi's slightly mischievous tone made Ban Jian laugh out loud: "Haha, then I'll have to apologize too!"
