"So happy to get what you want?"
Shikaru Nara looked at Uchiha Itachi in front of him with a smile, and boldly stretched out his hand to tug at his cheek.
Of course, the person in front of her was not an enemy, but her former teammate Uchiha Jie pretending to be one. Although the incident at night seemed to be over, Security Force couldn't take any time off. Most of them were patrolling outside, and only a handful of people stayed behind at Security Force.
Shikaru Nara naturally stayed here. In the room next door, Sasuke Uchiha had just fallen asleep. Although he was lying on the bed early, when he closed his eyes, all he saw was that man.
"I got it, now all I need is the little Sasuke next door." Uchiha Jie said with a smile.
"Danzo, that old guy, he has everything in his treasure house, but the thing I want is placed at the very end, but fortunately there were no twists and turns."
"Are you going to change your eyes for Sasuke now? Danzo may find out that his base has been invaded again at any time. By then Root will be searching the village and it will not be that easy to escape." Shikaru Nara asked.
"He has just awakened Sharingan, and now he has changed. I don't know how much effort it will take to evolve into Mangekyō Sharingan. Let's keep it for now, at least until it reaches the level of Three Tomoe, before we can make the next attempt."
"I only took some blood. After all, blood also contains chakra, so we can still conduct follow-up research."
"As for blood, I have plenty here." Shikaru Nara took out a scroll from his body and handed it into Uchiha Jie's hands.
"There is about a few hundred milliliters in it, which was lost while he was exercising during this period. It should be enough for you to use for a while."
Uchiha Jie was not polite and just pretended to be there. Then he sat down again without any sign of leaving.
"After tonight, do you think Third Hokage and Danzo will still trust each other?" he asked.
"They have been teammates and partners for much longer than us. Do you think you would still trust me if something like this happened between us?"
Shikaru Nara asked with a smile. She stood next to Uchiha Jie, placed her two hands on the brow bone above Uchiha Jie's eyes, and pressed it gently.
Uchiha Jie gently closed his eyes, opened his mouth slightly, and said softly, "Even if the person I identify with stands behind me and stabs me, I still think he is doing it for my own good."
"Let me just say, all of you with the surname Uchiha are all the same."
Shikaru Nara's fingers went up along the brow bone, and finally touched Uchiha Jie's temple, and pressed it gently.
"Isn't it the same for you? At first I just told a story, but you believed it to be true..."
At some point, his fingers moved to the back of Uchiha Jie's head, gently scratching his skin, which made him feel itchy and couldn't help but laugh.
"Who wouldn't want to see such a beautiful world?" Shikaru Nara's hands were placed on Uchiha Jie's shoulders again, stretching forward and embracing his neck.
"I just thought you were telling stories. Later, when I got a little older and helped Clan Head take care of the children, I told those stories to little Shikamaru."
"Master Clan Head asked me where I heard these stories. He told me that if the whole Shinobi World worked together, maybe we could make the world we live in look like the stories."
"Even Third Hokage and Shimura Danzō can't be of the same mind. Even Hyuga Yue and I, and even you, have different thoughts." Uchiha Jie smiled sarcastically and tilted his head.
He found that Shikaru Nara's arms were wrapped tightly around him.
"If that was just a story, I certainly wouldn't be like now, staying with a guy who would immediately become Uchiha Itachi or S-rank Rogue Ninja if he was exposed, let alone help him do this and that in Konoha, busy for his ridiculous plans."
Shikaru Nara's ponytail was untied at some point and spread down like a waterfall. Her head was so close to Uchiha Jie that she could even hear her breathing and heartbeat.
"Like a frog at the bottom of a well, once you see the vastness of the world, you will never want to go back to the dark, damp and cold bottom of the well to live out your life."
"Why did you use that Genjutsu on me in the first place?"
Her hands tightened again, pressing Uchiha Jie's head. The two people looked at each other, Sharingan slowly rotated, and Shikaru Nara's black pupils seemed to have ripples of light flowing.
"Now, use it again!" she ordered.
The red light shone and she opened her eyes again. Shikaru Nara was sitting in a familiar position, which was the position of Hokage. Everything around her was exactly the same as the scene in the photo in her wallet.
The light behind her was particularly dazzling. Uchiha Jie stood beside her, stretched out her hand, and said softly, "My Lord Hokage, do you want to go out with me to have a look?"
Shikaru Nara stood up, stretched out his hand, and walked out of Hokage Building together with Uchiha Jie. Outside the door was a huge square. The Hokage Rock in the distance had been neatly bulldozed. The statues of Hokage in the past were turned into full-length metal statues and placed in the square.
The building they just left is no longer in use and is blocked by a fence with the words "Hokage Building Former Site Protection Area" written on it.
The newly built Hokage Building is on the other side of the square, several hundred meters high. The wall is a huge glass curtain wall, which shines dazzlingly in the sun. There is a huge word "forbearance" on it. Next to the word "forbearance", there is a slightly smaller Konoha logo.
There were many people in the square. When they saw Uchiha Jie and Shikaru Nara, they all bowed and said hello.
They quickly crossed the square and came to the brand new Hokage Building. The staff at the door did not wear Forehead Protector, but they were wearing uniform clothes. They gently raised the watch on their right wrist, and a faint white light swept across the two people's bodies, and then a crisp sound came from the watch:
"Verification passed."
"Lord Hokage, welcome back."
Then they stepped into the elevator and went straight to the top of the 100-meter building. This was an independent large flat floor, and it was also the brand new Hokage Office. There were giant transparent glass screens in all directions. Standing in front of the glass, the scenery of the new Konoha was unobstructed.
The commercial district is also shining with neon lights during the day, and the new theatrical version of GG by Icha Icha Paradise is playing on the large projection screen. The residential area and the green forest are integrated. In the traffic station, aircraft are spraying light blue chakra and rising from the ground, passing through the protective barrier that is almost the same color as the sky and disappearing into the horizon.
"Lord Hokage."
The holographic projector was unfolded on the table. Orochimaru's face was just like when he was young. He was wearing a white robe and reported to Shikaru Nara:
"Our spacecraft discovered a planet parasitized by Ōtsutsuki, please give instructions from Lord Hokage!"
