Darui's determination was surprising, yet also seemed perfectly reasonable.
The next morning, he arrived at the building entrance an hour early to wait for the other Anbu.
Once everyone has gathered, the tasks are quickly assigned, which is not only fair and just, but also clear and organized.
After announcing everything, Darui shouted "Action!"
Immediately, the Kumogakure's Anbu Ninja scattered to carry out Darui's mission.
The former captain of the Anbu is dead, and Darui has proven his strength and gained supporters. Therefore, the Anbu Ninja are not fools and understand the importance of going with the flow.
The news was spread to all the ninja clans as quickly as possible, and they all expressed their support for Young Lord A the position of the Fourth Raikage.
The main problem is that the Kumogakure has almost no capable fighters left, only this one Kage Level shinobi. So, if they don't support him, who will they support?
After receiving news of the support from the other Anbu, Darui's lips curled into a smile. As expected, those ninja clans weren't senile after all.
After summarizing the information, he instructed all the Anbu Ninja to continue their daily work, but told them to remember one thing: now that the Third Raikage was dead, their focus and service should be on the Fourth Raikage!
The Anbu Ninja understood. Darui nodded and headed towards Young Lord A's residence to tell him the news.
After learning of everyone's opinions, Ai didn't feel smug; she simply said expressionlessly, "You've worked hard!"
Darui shook his head. "Compared to Lord Ai, what I have is nothing. I hope that Lord Ai can get out of this predicament soon, cheer up, and lead Kumogakure to prosperity!"
He knelt on one knee, looking sincere. Ai looked at him intently, then finally nodded. "I understand! You may leave now!"
"Yes!" Darui replied, then disappeared and walked towards the door.
Young Lord A watched his departing figure, a smile playing on his lips. "It seems fate has been kind to me. Although he's gone, it's given me another subordinate named Darui."
"It seems that this person is skilled in both literature and martial arts, and is of great use!" the Fourth Raikage murmured.
Konoha
Yesterday morning, Uchiha Rou was taught by Uchiha Shisui, and in the afternoon she sparred with Uchiha Itachi. Uchiha Itachi exclaimed that Rou Rou had made great progress!
Uchiha Rou smiled radiantly. After training, she went to the convenience store to buy popsicles for herself and Uchiha Itachi. Oh, right, there was also some for Uchiha Shisui.
In fact, Uchiha Shisui was the luckiest, because the popsicles that Uchiha Rou bought were stuck together, Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Rou shared them.
Uchiha Shisui can eat two by himself! He even joked with the other teachers, "Look, I can eat two by myself, unlike them, who have to share!"
The teacher glanced at him, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "I understand! So, can you let go of my shoulder now?" His eye twitched.
Uchiha Shisui held two popsicles in one hand and clung tightly to the teacher with the other, boasting about his "wealth!"
Seeing this Uchiha Shisui let go of his hand, embarrassed. "Sorry, I got carried away!" Uchiha Shisui bowed apologetically.
The teacher rolled her eyes, then carried a stack of materials into the teaching building.
After watching him walk away, Uchiha Shisui glanced at Uchiha Itachi's group again, sighed, tore open the packaging, and started eating!
This morning
When Uchiha Rou was on her way to school, she ran into Uchiha Itachi. She greeted him, but then she saw Uchiha Itachi pulling a short child along.
"Brother Itachi, who is he?" Uchiha Rou asked, pointing to the little boy that Uchiha Itachi was holding.
Uchiha Itachi smiled and was about to pull his younger brother forward to introduce him to Uchiha Rou when he saw Sasuke Uchiha cautiously hiding behind his older brother.
Uchiha Itachi sighed and rubbed his forehead. "This is my younger brother, Sasuke Uchiha. It's quite a coincidence, he's a year younger than you, Rou Rou."
As he spoke, Uchiha Itachi ruffled Sasuke Uchiha's spiky hair, his face beaming with a smile.
"So it's your younger brother! How cute!" Uchiha Rou, and she wanted to touch him too, but then she saw Sasuke Uchiha trying to dodge. He didn't want this stinky woman touching his head!
Only his father and older brother could touch his head, but just as he was about to dodge, Uchiha Itachi suddenly applied a little force with his fingers, preventing Sasuke Uchiha from escaping.
What?! Sasuke Uchiha felt the force on his neck and couldn't believe it. He glanced at Uchiha Itachi out of the corner of his eye and saw that Uchiha Itachi was still smiling, but his eyes seemed to say, "Be good, little brother."
Sasuke Uchiha gritted his teeth, looked at Uchiha Rou, and sized her up. She was indeed pretty, but surely not good enough for his older brother to threaten his adorable younger brother!
However, Uchiha Itachi's hand seemed to have gripped Sasuke Uchiha's fate by the throat. In the end Uchiha Rou hand rested on Sasuke Uchiha's head, patting the stubborn little wolf!
After touching him, Uchiha Rou withdrew her hand, and Uchiha Itachi then stopped. "Right? I also think my little brother is cute."
As she spoke, Uchiha Itachi patted Sasuke Uchiha on the back. "Sasuke, call her 'older sister'."
He winked at his younger brother, Sasuke Uchiha glanced at him, his lips twitched, and then Uchiha Itachi tapped his index and middle fingers on his younger brother's head.
"If you don't behave, I won't take you out to play anymore!" Uchiha Itachi said in the gentlest tone what made Sasuke the most hopeless.
Sasuke Uchiha immediately bowed at a ninety-degree angle, "Hello, Rou Rou -jie!"
"Hello, Sasuke, nice to meet you!" Uchiha Rou saw Itachi's actions but did not stop him. Instead, she felt a little happy and extended her right hand to Sasuke Uchiha.
Sasuke Uchiha taken aback by Uchiha Rou and poised manner. After Uchiha Itachi coughed twice, Sasuke extended his right hand and took Uchiha Rou's hand.
"Hello, nice to meet you!" Although the little brat Sasuke Uchiha was a bit awkward, he wouldn't be ungrateful if someone formally greeted him.
After all, as the son of the clan leader, Fugaku must have taught Sasuke Uchiha rules and etiquette.
"Brother Itachi, your brother is a year younger than me, does that mean he'll be attending the Ninja Academy next year?" Uchiha Rou said with a smile.
"Yeah!" Uchiha Itachi smiled and patted Sasuke Uchiha's hair with his large hand. Sasuke Uchiha pouted.
You only just remembered your adorable little brother? That's too much! But it seems like your older brother likes this older sister! Well, I won't hold it against Uchiha Itachi this time! After all, this woman might be my sister-in-law in the future!
You ask why Sasuke knows so much?
When other women greeted him, Uchiha Itachi would simply reply with an "uh-huh," or nod without even opening his mouth, and then leave with Sasuke Uchiha.
The girls were all like they'd lost their souls, thinking to themselves, "They're nothing special. They're just women; they can't sway my brother's will at all."
He followed his older brother's example, and sure enough, now all the kids his age were chasing after Sasuke, but Sasuke didn't care about these girls at all.
I never expected this, I never expected this, Uchiha Itachi, this is the kind of Uchiha Itachi you are! When you see Rou Rou, you can't move, and when you see Rou Rou, you threaten your younger brother to cooperate!
As if sensing something between Uchiha Itachi and Sasuke Uchiha, Itachi was startled at first, then turned to look at Sasuke Uchiha. Sasuke Uchiha quickly turned his head away, thinking to himself, "You can't see me! You can't see me! You can't see me!"
Uchiha Itachi narrowed his eyes. This kid is definitely criticizing me in his heart. Very well, you should be glad that Rou Rou is here, otherwise I would have let you experience what it means to have the love of an older brother!
"Brother Itachi, are you bringing Sasuke to class today?" Uchiha Rou suddenly asked. Uchiha Itachi's attention was immediately drawn, and he nodded and smiled, "That's right. He'll be starting school in a year, so I want him to get used to the environment!"
Sasuke Uchiha scoffed inwardly. Sure enough, Itachi would be immediately drawn to Jojo whenever she was Rou Rou!
Uchiha Itachi, you're despicable!
Uchiha Rou nodded. "Alright! Since Sasuke calls me 'older sister,' then I'll protect him!"
Sasuke Uchiha was stunned. Had he heard correctly? This rather pretty older sister actually said she would protect him?! What a joke!
How could you say something like that when you're a year older than me?
I, Sasuke Uchiha, the second son of the Uchiha Clan chief, mastered the Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique yesterday!
Me, need you to protect me? That's ridiculous!
Uchiha Itachi could tell from Sasuke Uchiha's glance that Sasuke was feeling a bit cocky.
He couldn't help but sigh. Judging from the looks of it, a fight was inevitable. He hoped Rou Rou would go easy on him.
To everyone's surprise, Sasuke Uchiha sneered, "Woman! I think you're out of your mind! I, Sasuke Uchiha, son of Uchiha Fugaku, and younger brother of Uchiha Itachi! I have already mastered a Ninjutsu!"
"Those brats in the Ninja World probably don't have my skills. You want to take care of me? That's unlikely." After saying that, Sasuke Uchiha glanced at Uchiha Rou from head to toe.
Uchiha Rou suddenly felt furious. She had initially thought Sasuke Uchiha cute and that she could take care of the little guy because of Uchiha Itachi. But now, she just thought Sasuke Uchiha pretentious and really wanted to punch him!
Uchiha Itachi spoke, "Sasuke!"
"Brother!" Sasuke Uchiha stubbornly. Seeing this, Uchiha Itachi suppressed his anger and tried not to get excited. This was his own younger brother. He had to stay calm and not get excited, especially since they were in front of Rou Rou!
Uchiha Itachi clenched his fists behind his back. His younger brother was truly arrogant and ignorant. Uchiha Rou started at Chunin level, and could even go toe-to- Jonin. This kid only knew one Great Fireball. What did he have to fight them with?
Look into my eyes!
Tell me why?
