Chapter 133 The aftermath of the Sen war and the defection of Hiruko
Yan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, with admiration in his eyes. "Yes! I understand! You can rest in peace, and the elders and I will handle the family affairs in an orderly manner."
The half-moon is fleeting.
Sen's body has finally recovered.
He opened the door, waved to the tribesmen on duty at the door, bathed in the warm sunshine that filled the tribe, and wandered on the street for the first time in a long time.
In that battle, his deeds of fighting against the entire Konoha High Command with one man's strength had already spread throughout the village.
Now the way the Uchiha people look at him has become completely different.
A few people were still afraid and looked away; but more tribesmen, especially the civilians, when they saw Sen, their faces were filled with enthusiasm and gratitude from the bottom of their hearts, and they stepped forward to say hello.
This is not only because he showed that Uchiha is unprecedentedly powerful, but also because he sought justice for the people who were unjustly killed and regained dignity for the entire family!
"Sen-sama!"
"It's Master Sen who is coming out!"
Facing the simple and excited faces, Sen was in a different state of mind, and it was inevitable that he was a little uncomfortable. In his previous life, he was just an ordinary person, and he had never been looked at with such reverence by so many people.
It is impossible to say that there are no feelings.
"I'm just out for a walk. Thank you for your concern." He smiled gently and waved his hand when he saw more and more people gathered around him. "I want to go for a walk alone. You should go about your own business first."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately bowed and saluted understandingly, and quickly dispersed, and the street returned to its former tranquility.
Sen strolled to a small lake in the clan. Before he even got close, he heard the voices of two immature children arguing fiercely.
It was a little boy and a little girl.
The little girl put her hands on her hips and said angrily, "Master Sen is the strongest Shinobi World! He can definitely beat that First Hokage you are talking about like chopping vegetables!"
The little boy retorted unconvinced, "No! Master First Hokage is God of Shinobi who founded Konoha. No one can compare with him! Although Master Sen is also very powerful, he is definitely still far behind!"
"I don't allow you to say that to Master Sen!" The little girl's eyes were red. "My father was seriously injured on the battlefield last time, and it was only with the medical expenses paid by Master Sen that he was saved! I don't allow you to say anything bad about him!"
Seeing that the two little guys were about to escalate from a quarrel to a fight, Sen laughed dumbly, stepped forward quickly, and held down each of their little heads.
"Okay, stop arguing."
When the two children looked back, they were stunned for a moment, and then their faces showed a mixture of surprise and panic.
"Yes, it's true Master Sen!" the little girl shouted in surprise.
"Sen----Sir!" The little boy was so frightened that his face turned pale and he stammered, "I----I was just talking nonsense! You----don't be angry!"
Sen squatted down, rubbed the hair of the two children, and smiled gently, "It doesn't matter, what you said makes sense. First Hokage is indeed a great ninja. He ended the Warring States Period and established the village. This is worthy of everyone's respect."
He paused, with a deep light in his eyes, and asked with a smile, "However, in the future I will surpass him and build a larger and more peaceful country so that no one will have to experience war again. What do you think? Do you believe me?"
Seeing that Sen was not angry, but actually so gentle, the little boy became bolder. He nodded vigorously. "Believe it!"
But then he asked doubtfully, "But - in a country like that, does it still need us to be ninjas?"
"Of course." Sen said with a smile, "But the ninja of the future will be more like a Police Force who protects everyone's safety, rather than carrying out a mission of narrow escape.
You, the younger generation, can grow up carefree and don't have to carry Jonin kits and embark on bloody battlefields at your age. Do you think this is not good?"
The little boy's eyes lit up instantly, shining with unprecedented light. "Then - then Master Sen will definitely become a greater leader than First Hokage! It's great that you are our Uchiha Clan!"
Sen smiled, raised his head and glanced at the figure under the shade of the tree behind him, and then said to the two children, "Okay, you guys have fun and don't quarrel. The days of childhood sweethearts are very precious."
After watching the two little guys get back together, Sen got up and walked towards Uchiha Hikaru.
"What's wrong? You look tired. What happened to those old guys in the village?" Sen asked.
Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "That's not true. The main reason is that Ms. Mikoto is really good at shopping. She goes to the commercial street three times a week and I almost memorize the stores. And she always complains that the food I cook is not as delicious as yours."
"Haha, she is still a child." Sen laughed and said, "Let's get down to business, what's going on in the village recently?"
Yan looked solemn and reported, "Yes. After we declared autonomy, some small families in the village who were oppressed by the higher-ups began to take the initiative to show their kindness to us.
They have a small population and cannot afford sacrifices, so they hate the unscrupulous style of Danzo and Root even more than we do."
Sen nodded, as he expected.
"What about the others? Sarutobi Hiruzen doesn't do anything retaliatory?"
"No. They just sent additional Anbu to monitor us around the clock from some commanding heights, but they didn't dare to take any substantive actions.
After all, the daily security of the village is still inseparable from us." Yan seemed to remember something when he said this, and added, "By the way, two ninjas defected recently. It's strange to say that they didn't run away during the war, but now that it's peaceful, they chose to defect instead."
Sen also showed some interest and asked casually, "Who is it?"
"One is Jonin from the Sarutobi Clan. The specific name is not sure. The other one seems to be called----Hiruko."
Land of Grass, deep underground.
In a huge and deep cave, the stone door slowly opened. Two figures walked in one after the other.
"Here we are, the adults are inside." White Zetsu, who was walking in front and disguised as Konoha Ninja, turned sideways and said to Hiruko behind him, "Soon you will see him and understand why I can imitate anyone."
Hiruko nodded, his eyes flashing with irrepressible excitement and vigilance.
It took him a few seconds to adapt to the dim light in the cave, and then his eyes were firmly attracted by the figure on the throne at the top of the cave.
It was an extremely old, gaunt old man, with several strange black tubes inserted into his back, connected to the huge plants under him, which seemed to be maintaining his long-dead life.
"Sharingan?!" Hiruko was shocked when he saw the old man's cloudy but still threatening eyes.
