Yakushi Nonō's Invitation

"Who is the person you intend to resurrect?"

"The Fourth Hokage."

Shimura Danzō replied indifferently.

"Heh, I see."

Orochimaru stared at Shimura Danzō with keen interest.

The Fourth Hokage was, after all, Uchiha Shimizu's teacher.

"Whew."

Qingshui exhaled a long breath.

For some time now, he had been expending a massive amount of ocular power every day to pull those two halos closer.

"It was sent from the Orphanage; it's from Lord Qingshui's teacher."

Uchiha Hikari's expression shifted slightly; she gripped the letter she had snatched tightly and reached Qingshui's side a few steps ahead of Guren.

She handed the letter to Qingshui.

"Nonō, is it?"

Seeing the two women becoming increasingly competitive, Qingshui patted both their heads to soothe them.

The loyalty of subordinates raised from a young age was indeed impressive.

Guren went without saying; she would even willingly give up her consciousness to serve as a vessel.

As for Uchiha
