Silence Speaks Louder Than Words

Silence Speaks Louder Than Words

"Mm!" A soft little hand slipped into his palm, and its owner's gentle voice rang out again. "It's me, Kurenai Yuhi. I'm here."

"Didn't you say you didn't want to see me?"

Kazuki's voice caught, as though he had suffered an enormous grievance.

Kurenai Yuhi froze.

When had she ever said she did not want to see him?

She had clearly wanted to beat him to death!

Kazuki was the first person in the entire ninja world to openly declare that he would achieve three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines.

The Uchiha higher-ups' gazes turned especially sharp.

What are you looking at?!

Oh, my foolish oni-chan... no, my dear brother!

He actually didn't say anything!

Hiruzen, do you really have no idea what you did?

Moreover, quite a few of those ninjas had already advanced to Jonin.

It had practically caused the entire village of Konoha to know.

Yet Kurenai Yuhi had been won over by Kazuki, that unserious little brat in so many people's eyes.

You four, there's still one missing!

Utatane Koharu noticed the faint, almost imperceptible gazes and became upset.

Hiruzen, what exactly did you do?

"Cough, cough!" Hiruzen Sarutobi gave two dry coughs and glared at Danzo.

Kazuki instead asked, "Where's my brother?"

Get as far away from me as you can!

Although Kazuki said nothing, his expression said everything.

Shimura Danzō!

"Ah!"

The sight made the other party's face turn black.

Judging by your reaction, was it really me?

Did someone steal a march on me?

This time, the matter was too serious.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's face went green.

Danzo's words were forcefully cut off.

Other than being pretty and having a good figure, there was nothing particularly outstanding about her.

Danzo, standing to the side, had a touch more disdain in his eyes.

It caught her completely off guard, leaving her unable to resist!

"Fine, fine, fine!" Kurenai said weakly. "I was wrong, all right?"

Not a single person had been optimistic about them. Kurenai Yuhi was a full six years older than Kazuki.

Kazuki's voice carried a sobbing tone. "Are you very reluctant?"

You've got some nerve, barging into the core area of my Uchiha Clan Compound and harming a genius of my clan!

We will not rest until this is settled with you!

Danzo: "..."

From Konoha's F4, the Uchiha clan head, and the two great elders, down to representatives of ordinary clans, nearly everyone had come.

Quite a few people intentionally or unintentionally looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Kurenai's eyelid twitched.

The pain came from Kazuki!

Her father was Yūhi Shinkō, a Konoha Jonin known as the Crimson Sunset, and one of the two finest Genjutsu ninjas of his era. He had died on the Night of the Nine-Tails Attack.

Not to mention Kurenai Yuhi, who was pursued by countless young ninjas.

"Hm?"

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Kazuki sniffled. "Do you know you were wrong?"

What were they supposed to say?

Back then, Kazuki's pursuit of Kurenai Yuhi had been nothing short of earth-shaking.

Kurenai Yuhi was not yet twenty-two at this time, merely an ordinary Special Jonin specializing in Genjutsu.

During their conversation, people gradually entered the hospital room. Seeing the two of them, they were left speechless.

You clearly fell unconscious after drinking my tea!

My exhausting all my strength, gouging out your eyes, and saving your life wasn't in vain!

But!

Quite a few gazes fell onto him.

This guy had clearly had his eyes gouged out. Why did it feel as though they had instead become his weapon?

Those words immediately perked everyone up.

If possible, they absolutely did not want to see Kazuki.

His Genjutsu was said to be impossible to copy even with the Sharingan.

Do you believe I'll beat you to death with a stick?!

Only!

The instant Danzo's voice rang out, Kazuki's body began to tremble violently.

Good heavens!

My fault?

What did I do wrong?

Shouldn't I have stopped you from accomplishing your grand dream?

Good heavens!

So it really was you!

Kazuki nodded in satisfaction.

That's enough already!

If you really push me too far, I'll hang you up and beat you!

What palace, what courtyard, what seventy-two...

That cold snort said more than a thousand words ever could.

Uchiha Setsuna let out a cold snort.

Kurenai: "..."

"Heh heh!"

She stepped forward and snapped, "What do you mean? Uchiha Yishū, are you saying all of this was done by Hiruzen, Danzo, and Homura?"

But!

Heaven knew how many people had been shocked senseless at the time.

The problem was, why didn't I remember any of it?

But!

I didn't want you to come from the start.

Kazuki sighed.

As a result, Kazuki's trembling grew even more intense.

Hiruzen Sarutobi turned his head with a smile on his face, about to speak, when he suddenly froze.

Thus, above her was Asuma, who had continuously approached Kurenai under the Hokage's hints, while below were the adoration of countless ordinary ninjas.

If she wanted to compete for the position of Hokage, that support would definitely be no small help. It was stronger than some ninja clans.

At the time, Kurenai did not understand what that meant.

At this very moment.

Kazuki's answer was to grab the blanket, pull it over his head, and hide beneath it.

You insisted on coming!

And now, are you happy?

Damn it, do you really have no idea what you did?

Did you really take everyone else for fools?!

Good heavens, so you were involved too.

After hearing his voice, Kazuki trembled even more violently.

Because!

Konoha's F4: "..."

He was responsible for guiding Konoha's Chunin and Genin.

This was a promising prospect!

If they were asked to die for Kurenai Yuhi, they absolutely would not agree. But in many situations, they did not mind giving Kurenai a hand.

This scene caused many people's gazes to gather on Danzo.

"Kazuki! What exactly happened?" Kurenai could not help asking.

Mitokado Homura: "..."

His expression also became frightened.

If that were all, it would have been fine. After all, death was death. Even the greatest ninja would one day die.

As if there was anything between Kurenai and me!

The hospital room fell briefly silent.

They were just short of pointing at Hiruzen Sarutobi's nose and cursing, saying: It was you two who did it.

Moreover, many people knew that Kurenai Yuhi was the daughter-in-law Hiruzen Sarutobi had his eye on. He had intended for her to become the wife of his second son, Asuma.

Watching Kazuki's deliberately raised hands, his deliberately covered eyes, and the occasional soft sobs, Kurenai felt helpless from the bottom of her heart.

Their once-passionate love had come to an abrupt end.

I fucking never should have met you!

No, I should have smashed you to death with a stick when you first pursued me!

Fugaku said in a deep voice, "Shisui has already awakened, but he hasn't said anything. He has remained silent."

"What exactly is going on?" Mitokado Homura could no longer endure it and shouted, "Uchiha Yishū, speak! Stop trembling all the time and tell us everything you know! I'm warning you, don't play games!"

Or rather, who could stand Kazuki's crazy personality?

Heaven knew how many people had benefited from his help.

When Kurenai gripped his hand, he could not help murmuring softly, "Scared..."

Where else could one find such a brother who loved his younger brother so dearly?

"Don't sigh!" Danzo's sinister voice rang out. "Say whatever you have to say. Don't even think about lying. Let me tell you..."

The Uchihas' gazes became even sharper.

Their personalities simply could not be linked together.

Every single person present had endured that pain before.

"No!" Kurenai grabbed Kazuki's hand, her elegant voice filled with resolve. "Kazuki, I sincerely know that I was wrong. Please forgive me."

After understanding everything, Kurenai's home never opened its doors to Kazuki again.

This was a little demon who could torment people to death!

He made you feel helpless and broken, body and soul.

He said nothing, yet the spearhead pointed straight at them.

I can only say, good heavens!

You can even play it like this!
