At noon, the sun is shining brightly, Uchiha Clan, adjacent to the edge of the Yamanaka Clan.
Several months have passed since Night of the Nine-Tails passed away. Kakashi, who was ordered to take over, looked around in a daze.
In the past, due to a mission, Kakashi once visited Hyuga Clan's mansion, and its scale was only about this size.
"That guy is completely opposite to his previous low-key style. It's not like his style..."
With all kinds of doubts in his heart, Kakashi stepped inside, and when he was about to knock on the door, the voice echoing in his mind made him change his steps and go straight to the calligraphy room in the southeast corner.
"Excuse me, I'll take over. You can go back and rest."
Yugao nodded slightly, glanced back subconsciously, and left quickly.
"What a rare guest. I didn't expect you to be the one to take over Yugao's job. Let's have lunch together here later. This task is very leisurely and not as troublesome as Anbu's other tasks."
With the sound of wind, pieces of rice paper fluttered, and the wolf-hair brushes swayed by the wind fell heavily like a general on the battlefield.
Whether it is justice or evil, only by persisting in one's own will can one reach the end. To waver in one's will is tantamount to seeking death.
Is it walking towards an empty cliff, or is it a brief companionship with a ferocious beast in one's sleep?
Only with the awareness of risking death and rebirth can we face the future without confusion.
"Well, that's it."
Kakashi walked into the calligraphy room and looked around. The majestic calligraphy handwriting looked like a hanging galaxy.
The black writing looks like the fangs of some ferocious beast, or like a general alone on the battlefield, deeply trapped in the enemy's formation, with a firm will and no wavering.
"Will those who are caught in the battle die or not?"
"It can also be used to describe ninjas who can still risk everything to complete their mission after losing their partners, relatives, and friends, but the world of ninjas is not that passionate."
Answering Kakashi's doubts, Hua Yue smiled and hung the calligraphy aside, letting it dry naturally without framing it.
"It's already time, let's have a meal together, no need to be so polite, Kakashi senior."
"No, Anbu has its own rules and cannot get too close to the mission goal..."
Seeing Kakashi politely declined, Hua Yue waved his hand, already knowing Third Hokage's purpose.
"Don't be so unfamiliar. It's surveillance in name, but isolation in reality. Third Hokage doesn't want the thoughts of other Uchiha people to affect my decision-making."
"That is to say, as the saying goes, if you are close to vermillion, you will be red, and if you are close to ink, you will be black."
On the first floor of the mansion, I saw that an extra bowl and chopsticks had been prepared for the dining table. Kakashi was about to refuse, but after looking into those black and white eyes for a moment, the young man who had been wandering in the dark area all year round felt horrified and finally stopped resisting.
After a long silence, Hua Yue spoke, adding a bit of noise to this silent lunch.
"Actually, you and I are not very lucky people, senior Kakashi. Whenever life gets better, our fortunes will take a turn for the worse, making us a big joke."
There seemed to be feelings in his tone, Kakashi kept silent and did not look into those dangerous eyes.
His father, who was regarded as a hero when he was young, committed suicide at home and died in front of himself.
He is determined to wash away the shame left by his father, immerse himself in darkness, abide by the rules, and become a perfect ninja model, a cold and ruthless machine.
But the appearance of Shuguang made Kakashi, who claimed to be in his heart, feel the warmth of his companions.
On the same day, the companion who led him to the light died tragically in front of him, entrusting his eyes and another companion to him.
However, the companion who volunteered to die died under his own ninjutsu with his own hands, and together with the promise, he became deeply knotted in his heart.
In a trance, Kakashi's right hand trembled slightly. This strange movement did not escape those meticulous eyes.
"If you don't hide your heart, can you still use Chidori now? Kakashi..."
He raised his head suddenly, obviously hiding everything under the mask, but Kakashi still felt as if he was naked, and there was no secret in front of those eyes.
At night, the sky gradually darkens and the moon shines like water.
Inside Konoha, there is a secret corner that no one can explore, in front of a door that requires biological verification to be opened.
"Why is it so complicated? Wouldn't it be better to just use force to push back everything? According to my opinion, now go directly to Konoha High Command, use force to push back, and kill everyone who refuses to accept!"
In the inner world, Black Nine-Tails looked up to the sky and roared, venting his dissatisfaction.
"Say, if I hadn't used the Reishi inside Book of Vermilion Moon to isolate your existence, the Nine-Tails in this world would have echoed your essence as soon as you appeared."
Regardless of Black Nine-Tails's complaints, Hua Yue walked into the laboratory on his own. Countless light blue sparks flickered in the complicated and exquisite machine, which was like a work of art.
It was not until the blue light disappeared and the blue solution in the petri dish continued to cool down that the figure immersed in the solution finally revealed its true appearance.
"Natural Energy on this planet, after being absorbed by God Tree, transformed into the origin of ninjas, chakra."
"In the God Tree era where there is no chakra past, only special psychic beasts can sense Natural Energy. The best among them call themselves immortals."
Hua Yue, who was leaning on the stone throne and holding his chin in his hands, had his eyes slightly closed. There was no Hand Seals, no Sage Mode had entered, only the soul emerged from the body and stepped into the figure in the petri dish.
"How were Yomi and Pure Land born? Are there any other unsolved mysteries about the existence of self-proclaimed immortals on this planet?"
"No matter what changes are made, the role of the soul cannot be ignored."
Inside the inner world, moving with the soul, Black Nine-Tails's eyes widened as he completely lost his ability to perceive chakra and Natural Energy.
"Uchiha kid, what did you do?"
"I just want to conduct a more thorough experiment to verify the feasibility of this path, that's all."
At the same time, at the junction of the three great kingdoms of fire, wind and earth, there is a kingdom that cries all year round, Land of Rain, Amegakure.
Danzo sat upright and handed the nine true and one false evidence to the existence in front of him, known as Amegakure demigod, Salamander Hanzo.
"To actually do such a sinful thing under the guise of peaceful words, and to try to subvert the village and start a war, Xiao... I thought they would be existences with the same aspirations as me."
Danzo looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose. It was not until Salamander Hanzo was at the most irritable moment that he spoke.
"The human heart is the most unpredictable existence. These unstable elements that threaten the peace of all countries need to be dealt with personally by Your Excellency Hanzo."
"After all, I am an outsider and have no intention of interfering in Land of Rain's internal affairs, so I will take my leave."
After leaving Amegakure, Danzo immediately changed his image and went to the emerging ninja organization in Amegakure, Akatsuki.
