The Former Home

The departure of the Sannin still had some impact on Konoha. The deterrent power originally created by the Sannin's strong fighting ability was gradually weakening, and it was constantly weakening until it weakened to a limit, at which point Konoha's status among the ninja villages would also decline.

Xuan Ye, because at this point, home could hardly be considered home anymore. His parents were still in a coma in the hospital, and his only younger brother, Naruto Uzumaki, was also in this room.

If that's the case, can that house still be considered a home? At most, it's just a place I once lived in!

The ward was large, and there was an extra bed for Xuan Ye to lie down and sleep on.

As night gradually fell, a cold wind blew in through the open window. Xuan Ye walked to the open window, resting his elbows on the wooden frame of the window and his hands on his head.

The sky was filled with stars at this time, and a white crescent moon, as white as milk, hung high in the sky. Because of the illumination of the stars and the crescent moon, the night was not very dark. As long as you were alert, you could easily see the road at night.

"Sigh! The night sky in the Hokage world is still so beautiful. If only someone could watch it with me." Xuan Ye propped his head up with his hands, staring blankly at the distant crescent moon and the twinkling stars.

A night passed quickly. Xuan Ye woke up, walked to the window, and opened the window that had been closed all night.

After opening the window, a fresh breeze immediately greeted me, carrying a sweet scent and the unique chill of the early morning. After standing there for a while, I felt much more awake than when I had just woken up.

Xuan Ye then walked to the hospital bed where his parents were lying. They still had their eyes closed and showed no signs of waking up, but their complexions were still very rosy and they looked very healthy.

After visiting his parents, he walked to a crib where Xuan Ye's younger brother Naruto Uzumaki, was still fast asleep. His fair and adorable little face was almost as cute as Xuan Ye's, but it seemed that Naruto wasn't as cute as he was when he was little as he grew up.

"Wait, no, no, it's probably just the clothes Naruto wore when he grew up. He's actually quite a handsome young man."

Xuan Ye reached out and gently pinched Naruto's cheek. Sure enough, the baby's cheek was very soft and smooth. However, Xuan Ye did not use too much force, because he was afraid that if he used too much force, Naruto would wake up and start making noise, which would be troublesome.

After opening the hospital door and leaving the hospital, Xuan Ye immediately headed towards the place where he used to live, because that former home was the closest to this Konoha Central Hospital, so he went there first to retrieve some important things.

After retrieving his belongings from his former home, Xuan Ye planned to visit the Ninja Academy last time to soak up its Ninja Academy.

In fact, the real reason why Xuan Ye went to the Ninja Academy was to say goodbye to Itachi Uchiha. During his year or so at the Ninja Academy, the only friend he truly made was Itachi Uchiha. However, Itachi Uchiha had one flaw: he would often come to challenge him whenever he had the chance.

Although every time it ended with Itachi Uchiha losing, he showed no signs of discouragement and seemed to become more and more courageous. No matter how badly he lost, he would always challenge Xuan Ye as long as he found him.

As for the other classmates Xuan Ye didn't take the initiative to communicate with them, and they didn't take the initiative to approach Xuan Ye either, which is actually not bad.

The last place to go was the Hokage Office Building, because the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, had said that he should go to the Hokage Office Building to talk to him when he was about to leave.

Xuan Ye actually felt that it wouldn't matter if he didn't go to the Hokage Office Building. There were many Anbu hidden in Konoha Village, and it would be very difficult for Xuan Ye to leave Konoha without the Anbu's sight.

Therefore, as long as Xuan Ye leaves Konoha openly and is discovered by the Anbu, that old man Hiruzen Sarutobi will definitely find out.

"Oh right! Doesn't that old man have a crystal ball? He can use it to track my movements, right? I have to go to the Hokage Office Building myself. What a hassle."

The journey to his former home wasn't far. Just as Xuan Ye was thinking about other things, his former home appeared before Xuan Ye eyes.

Xuan Ye gently pushed open the closed door.

"Squeak!"

The sound of the door being pushed open revealed that the courtyard, which had been uninhabited for over ten days, had become somewhat chaotic. The ground in the center of the courtyard was covered with fallen leaves, which had not been swept up at all.

"Sigh! There are so many fallen leaves in this yard. I never thought it would turn into this in just over ten days."

Looking at the large expanse of fallen leaves in the courtyard, Xuan Ye felt a sense of unease rising in his heart.

So he stopped in the courtyard and silently recited the incantation needed to perform Ninjutsu.

"Half-Moon Slash!"

The next moment, a crescent-shaped slash appeared in front of Xuan Ye, and a gust of wind blew up in the courtyard.

"Call out!"

Half-Moon Slash instantly moved to the center of the courtyard. Because of Half-Moon Slash Ninjutsu, a small tornado appeared in the center of the courtyard. It was so small that it couldn't even move a stone weighing about ten pounds.

The Half-Moon Slash that Xuan Ye just used was not the kind used in battle. In fact, after his chakra level dropped to the level of a trainee ninja, the power of Ninjutsu Half-Moon Slash he used was less than one-tenth of what it used to be.

The Half-Moon Slash Ninjutsu used just now only used a very small amount of chakra, and then, following the chakra flow pattern, it turned out like this.

The small tornado created by the Half-Moon Slash Ninjutsu in the yard instantly gathered all the fallen leaves in the yard into one pile, and then the Half-Moon Slash Ninjutsu stopped, and the small tornado naturally disappeared as well.

"This looks much better, but it's still not enough." Xuan Ye -closed and a slight smile on his lips.

Then, Xuan Ye gathered some chakra within his body, transformed it into Fire Style Chakra, and finally released the Fire Style Chakra out of his body, controlling it to move towards the pile of leaves.

The ball of Fire Style Chakra didn't move very fast. Once it reached the pile of leaves, it immediately turned into a scorching flame. Although the temperature wasn't too high, it was enough to burn the pile of leaves.
