"Hidden Stone!" Danzō said, his face cold as he clenched the paper ball in his hand. A cold glint flashed in his eyes. After a moment of silence, he looked up again at the bounty on the table.

The avatar was unchanged, the name was unchanged, the description was unchanged. The only thing that changed... was still the bounty amount.

[Bounty]: 410 million!

As expected.

Had someone already set their sights on him?

410 million!

That was enough to fight a war!

Especially now, with the tense international situation, if he could get his head... Pfft!

Danzō snorted coldly.

Fire Style: Bounty Poster Burning Jutsu!

Instantly, the bounty notice turned to ash. He then sat silently on his high seat. After a moment, he lowered his head and looked expressionlessly at the group of trash below.

It's been so long.

They still hadn't investigated who dared to put such a bounty on him, nor had they obtained anything from that Uchiha Fuyou.

What a bunch of trash!

But he had to admit... with bounties issued from multiple locations, this person... was quite cautious!

Danzō pondered for a moment, looking at the Root Shinobi below who seemed to want to say something. He snorted again, "Speak!"

As he finished speaking.

A Root Shinobi respectfully lowered his head and said, "Anbu Shinobi have brought news. To celebrate Konoha's good performance in the Chunin Joint Exams, the Hokage has invited Lord Danzō, Lord Mito, and Lord Turn to Fuyou Grill for a celebration."

"A celebration? Humph! Hiruzen is also doing these pointless things now?" Although he hadn't gone out to watch the matches due to the presence of foreign ninjas, he was still aware of the situation outside.

Konoha's performance was indeed not... bad?

Danzō pondered for a moment, recalling that he hadn't gone out recently due to his secluded cultivation, and had missed several team meetings. Therefore, even though the bounty on Hiruzen's desk made him, Danzō Shimura, very uncomfortable, he couldn't stay hidden forever.

It was time to go out and talk to them.

Especially with the Hidden Stone Village...

"Hmph!" Danzō snorted coldly again, his eyes sternly looking at his subordinate below. "In that case, tell the Hokage..."

Before he could finish.

"Lord Danzō," a Root Shinobi rushed in.

Danzō immediately stopped, not continuing his sentence, and his mouth twitched.

He had a bad feeling...

After all.

This scene.

Was all too familiar.

Indeed.

As his right eyelid kept twitching, he saw the ninja skillfully and respectfully pull out a piece of paper from his bosom, and then directly spread it out in front of Lord Danzō.

"..."

Danzō silently watched as the '4' on the bounty turned into a '5'. Then, he slowly sat back down on his high seat. Looking at his subordinate below, his lips seemed to tremble slightly as he opened them, but his tone was calm as he said, "Tell the Hokage... I've had some new insights into ninjutsu recently and it's inconvenient for me to leave seclusion. Today... I won't be going!"

As he finished speaking.

He clenched the new bounty notice, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

[If I find out who it is... I, Danzō Shimura! Swear to kill them!]

Damn it!

"Ach-choo!"

Uchiha Fuyou rubbed his nose. He didn't know if it was because late autumn was approaching, but he had been feeling a bit cold lately.

Yet, the surroundings... were still dressed so lightly.

Especially Hyuga Rinne beside him, the black silk mesh on her chest was faintly visible.

As expected.

Compared to other orthodox ninjas, he was just an ordinary rich man. So, it was understandable that his body might be a bit weak.

Uchiha Fuyou stretched lazily, rubbing his body casually.

After the Chunin Exams, a full-scale war was probably not far off.

Recently, he could feel that the revenue from various branches in the Land of Fire had significantly decreased, only maintaining at the minimum operating turnover set by the system. The money earned... it was unlikely he could add any more to Danzō's bounty during this period.

And he was already ranked first on the bounty list, why hadn't any fearless individuals secretly infiltrated Konoha?

Especially that guy who always boasts about fighting the God of Shinobi as soon as he sees a Konoha headband… there's no reason for that!

Isn't Danzō tempting enough right now?

He can still hold back and not make a move?!

Could it be… he's waiting for me to offer more?

Uchiha Fuyou sighed in realization and muttered, "Too greedy!"

As he spoke.

Suddenly.

He stopped walking again, his mouth twitching, looking ahead with what seemed like a stomachache.

Sensing Fuyou stop beside her, Rin was also startled and stopped, "What's wrong, Fuyou?"

Looking at Fuyou, who stood there dumbfounded, staring straight ahead.

For some reason, this scene…

Felt a tiny bit familiar to her, as if she had seen it a few days ago.

But Fuyou didn't answer her. Rin blinked curiously, tilting her head with confusion, and followed Fuyou's gaze.

Instantly.

Not far ahead.

A black-haired youth, with the Uchiha clan crest printed on his clothes, stood on the road, biting his lower lip, clenching his fists tightly, his face filled with sorrow as he looked ahead. Those scarlet eyes… appeared somewhat eerie in the night.

This scene… it's so familiar!

Has she seen it somewhere before?

Rin gazed at the figure, slightly stunned, and softly said, "Isn't that Obito?"

What was he doing there?

He looked…

Desolate, sad, angry… like a stray dog~

Suddenly.

Rin was startled again, feeling something cold and damp on her face. She reached up in surprise, looking at the cool white specks falling onto her hand, and murmured, "It's snowing!"

What do you do when you see the goddess who rejected you again, going to drink milk tea with the guy you hate the most after a meal?

He had invited her for milk tea last time, but she refused, saying she didn't feel like drinking milk tea recently. So, after finishing his barbecue, he had specifically invited her to Ichiraku Ramen again, but… she refused again.

And then she rushed off to drink milk tea with that bastard?!

Obito felt deceived, his heart full of love brutally broken, as if his feelings had been toyed with.

Rin… she had changed!

She had changed to a point where he felt like he no longer recognized her.

Rin used to be so gentle, considerate, and warm.

Why was she lying to him now?

Obito clenched his fists, his expression shifting erratically, almost distorted, as he stared intently at the two figures walking into the milk tea shop, chatting and laughing.

Until they disappeared from his sight.

Instantly.

As if a tangible black mist emerged from him, Obito let out a roar in the blink of an eye, and then clutched his eyes.

Pain!

But.

What a familiar feeling!

After a while.

A creepy smile appeared on his face, "Hahaha!"

His laughter grew louder and louder, involuntarily emitting strange sounds, causing passersby to look over, filled with confusion.

[What's wrong with this kid?]

Uchiha Obito ignored the strange glances, shoved his right hand into his hair, and continued to laugh maniacally. The higher he tilted his head, the more he bent backward, and in his eyes… a scarlet glint seemed to flash.

After an unknown amount of time.

He lowered his head, his face grim, a slight curve on his lips, and he muttered coldly, "Is that so?"

His Mangekyo Sharingan gazed at the milk tea shop ahead.

He just stared calmly.

A cold wind blew gently, caressing his hair, making it ripple softly. White specks fell on his head, like… desolate white hair.

He.

Uchiha Obito.

Seemed to have gained another Insight!
