Those Eyes

"Moon."

Meeting Uchiha Yue's sincere gaze, Tsunade's eyes flickered, still hesitant about whether to tell Uchiha Yue the truth.

And so, Tsunade, who possessed strength that surpassed all others in the Shinobi World, remained silent for a full five minutes.

Ultimately, Tsunade's rational mind prevailed. She felt that as Uchiha Yue's teacher, she had the right to let Uchiha Yue know the truth!

However, Tsunade was also very clear that even if she were to tell Uchiha Yue the truth, the location couldn't be within Konoha; it would have to be inside the Konoha. Therefore, Tsunade had Uchiha Yue return to Konoha with her first. Once the two of them returned to Tsunade's residence, Tsunade planned to tell Uchiha Yue the truth in detail, to tell him what everyone had been hiding from him.

When Tsunade is in this situation, Uchiha Yue naturally has no reason to refute it.

Furthermore, Uchiha Yue felt that Tsunade would never harm him, so he followed Tsunade back to Konoha.

However, neither Uchiha Yue nor Tsunade expected that Uchiha Fugaku would appear before them again just as they returned to Konoha.

That was the gate of Konoha. After returning with the elite members of the Uchiha Clan, Uchiha Fugaku was waiting there for Tsunade and Uchiha Yue.

Then, seeing Uchiha Yue and Tsunade appear, Uchiha Fugaku approached them with a smile and asked, "Yue-kun, Lady Tsunade told you the truth?"

"Not yet."

Upon hearing Uchiha Fugaku's words, Uchiha Yue glanced at Tsunade's expression and replied thoughtfully, "Fugaku- kun, Master told us to tell me what happened in the village after we return. If you have nothing else to do, I'll go back with Master first. When I have time, Fugaku- kun, I will visit you in person!"

"Isn't that a bit too complicated, Moon Lord?"

As soon as Uchiha Yue finished speaking, Uchiha Fugaku's gaze shifted to Tsunade. He bowed slightly and said, "Lady Tsunade, if you don't mind, I've prepared a quiet place where you and Yue can have a proper chat. Of course, I also have some things to say to Yue. I think, Lady Tsunade Yue's teacher, you have the right to know. So, how about the three of us have a good talk?"

"You? Humph!"

Tsunade glanced at Uchiha Fugaku with a mocking look, Tsunade no kindness whatsoever. She then said coldly, "Uchiha Fugaku, don't push your luck! Don't think that just because you're the current head of the Uchiha Fugaku Uchiha Clan, I can't do anything to you! Uchiha Fugaku, I'm giving you face now and letting you live! Next time, don't block my way and speak to me like that, understand?"

"Yes, of course I know, Lady Tsunade!"

"Only..."

Just as Tsunade arrived, Uchiha Fugaku's smile suddenly deepened.

Then, Uchiha Fugaku lowered his voice and spoke in a tone only he, Uchiha Yue, and Tsunade could hear, saying, "However, Lady Tsunade, what I need concerns Tsukuru's affairs within the Uchiha Clan! As Tsukuru's teacher, can't you just stand by and watch Tsukuru, or Tsukuru's father, suffer? If Tsukuru and I weren't friends, I would never tell anyone else the clan's secrets!"

"Fine! Uchiha Fugaku, then I'd like to hear what you want with Tsuki!"

"Moon, let's go with him!"

After listening to Uchiha Fugaku's words, Uchiha Yue realized that Tsunade was clearly suppressing her anger and agreed with Uchiha Fugaku.

After Tsunade gave in, Uchiha Fugaku smiled and then took Uchiha Yue and Tsunade to a teahouse.

Clearly, Uchiha Fugaku had booked a room at this teahouse in advance, waiting for Uchiha Yue and Tsunade to return.

Immediately afterwards...

After Uchiha Yue, Tsunade, and Uchiha Fugaku were all seated in the teahouse's private room, Uchiha Yue's gaze first fell on Uchiha Fugaku, and she said, "Fugaku- kun, what my master and I need to discuss can wait. Now, please tell me what you want to say. What exactly happened within our clan? Could it be that something within the clan is related to me, or my father?"

"Hehe, of course it's related."

Taking a sip of tea, Uchiha Fugaku spoke leisurely, "Moon-kun, I think it's best if Lady Tsunade goes first on some matters. Only by knowing what's happening in the village can you know what's happening within our clan. So, please, Lady Tsunade, go first!" With that, Uchiha Fugaku smiled at Tsunade and gestured, "Lady Tsunade, please!"

"Snort!"

Undoubtedly, Tsunade had absolutely no good impression of Uchiha Fugaku.

In Tsunade's eyes, Uchiha Fugaku Hyuga Hiashi; both were quintessential politicians.

However, when Tsunade's gaze fell upon Uchiha Yue, the anger in her eyes vanished, replaced by guilt. Then, standing before Uchiha Yue, Tsunade took a deep breath and said, "Yue, before what happened in the village, I need to apologize to you. As your teacher, I failed to take good care of your parents; it was my fault!"

"My parents?"

Upon hearing Tsunade, Uchiha Yue's forehead veins bulged, and his hands clenched into tight fists.

It seemed that Uchiha Yue had a vague idea of what Tsunade wanted.

However, Uchiha Yue still held onto a sliver of hope, so he hadn't lost his composure. He nodded slightly to Tsunade, signaling her to continue.

Seeing Uchiha Yue's strong reaction, Tsunade felt a pang of pity.

Unexpectedly, when Tsunade stopped speaking, Uchiha Fugaku gave a cold laugh and said, "Moon Lord, since Lady Tsunade doesn't want to, then let me tell you! Our village has reached an agreement with Kirigakure to send an Uzumaki Clan ninja to Kirigakure to assist the Fourth Mizukage in consolidating the seals of the three Isobu. And your mother, Minako, has been chosen by our village. So, Moon Lord, your mother, Uzumaki Minako, is currently on her way to Kirigakure!"

As for...

Uchiha Fugaku stopped there.

At this moment, Uchiha Fugaku's eyes were filled with shock, and even his mouth was wide open.

Moreover, just as shocked as Uchiha Fugaku was Tsunade next to him!

However, both Uchiha Fugaku and Tsunade were shocked for the same reason!

That was when Uchiha Fugaku had just given birth to Minako, the mother of Uchiha Yue, and was sent to Kirigakure...

Uchiha Yue's eyes underwent an unusual change!

For no apparent reason, Uchiha Yue's eyes turned crimson, and the three black Tomoe within them appeared and began to spin continuously!

Moreover, those three rapidly spinning black Tomoe...

There's actually a connection between them!
