Instead of blaming yourself, treat the days to come as atonement.
Uchiha Kei looked at him with pity.
He's a pitiful person too. Despite being a perfect human assistant and a rare strongman in the Shinobi World, his heart is squeezed into such a corner.
"Atonement?"
Karatachi Yagura bewildered, raised his head.
"Yes, Kirigakure now in dire straits because of you, and that's your responsibility."
Uchiha Kei spoke each word clearly.
"You have a duty to make Kirigakure strong again."
What happened to Kirigakure? Uchiha Kei really didn't care.
But no matter what, Kirigakure is still part of the Shinobi World.
When the Otsutsuki Clan descends in the future, they may also be able to contribute their strength.
"I... made Kirigakure powerful again?"
The confusion in Karatachi Yagura's eyes gradually faded, replaced by a bright look of hope.
"May I?"
Uchiha Kei shrugged. "Anyway, something's better than nothing, right?"
Karatachi Yagura's lips twitched slightly.
This way of comforting...
It's somewhat unique...
The real world.
Uchiha Kei slowly opened his eyes; he was already surrounded by people from Kirigakure.
Everyone's eyes were filled with hope.
After Genji's explanation, the members of Kirigakure learned that Karatachi Yagura had been controlled by Genjutsu.
In an instant, everyone in the Kirigakure realized the truth.
No wonder the usually gentle Karatachi Yagura suddenly changed his personality.
Many people still believe that it was power that made the fourth generation so cruel.
Now that Genji has explained it, they all understand immediately.
That is why the people of Kirigakure had such high expectations for Uchiha Kei.
"How about it?"
Mei Terumi squeezed through the crowd, looking at Uchiha Kei with hopeful eyes.
Uchiha Kei glanced at Karatachi Yagura, whose eyes were tightly closed.
It's not clear yet.
Obito's Genjutsu has been dispelled, but that doesn't mean Karatachi Yagura can recover.
The killings of the past years have caused him to completely shut himself off.
Even Uchiha Kei didn't know how to comfort him.
The only one who can save him now is himself.
"What do you mean 'not clear'?"
Mei Terumi spoke anxiously, her hand gripping Uchiha Kei tightly.
The slightly cool little hand stirred something in Uchiha Kei's heart.
It's quite comfortable...
Thinking this, Uchiha Kei said, "Whether he wakes up or not depends on him."
Mei Terumi was about to say something when Genji interrupted her.
"Mei Terumi, don't worry, he'll wake up."
Mei Terumi was taken aback.
"This kid won't shirk his responsibilities."
"He's the Fourth Mizukage of Kirigakure."
Genji sighed, dismissed the crowd, and settled the unconscious Karatachi Yagura.
The wooden house Kirigakure.
Uchiha Kei was idly playing with Naruto's blond hair.
"Thank you very much, Konoha."
Genji sat on a wooden chair, looking at Uchiha Kei with gratitude.
"It was nothing, just a small favor. Aren't Konoha Kirigakure all one family?"
Genji was taken aback.
We are one family.
That's quite a strange word.
"From this day forward, we, the Kirigakure Society, will be Konoha's most steadfast ally."
Despite his thoughts, Genji still made a solemn statement.
"No, no, no, I think Genji has misunderstood."
Uchiha Kei waved his hands repeatedly.
"Misunderstand?"
"Although I am a member of Konoha, I represent more than just Konoha."
Uchiha Kei's gaze was deep.
Genji's eyes flickered.
This sentence...
He understood.
"My home is in Konoha, but standing behind me is Uchiha Itachi."
If the friendship of Kirigakure could be extended to Itachi, it would greatly benefit his chances of becoming Hokage.
This was Uchiha Kei had thought of when he planned to come to Kirigakure.
Although the Kirigakure Village's strength has been greatly reduced.
However, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse; Kirigakure is still one of the Five Great Shinobi Villages, no matter what.
No one can deny this.
"Uchiha... Itachi..."
Genji pondered for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face.
"The Kirigakure will be a staunch ally of Konoha and an absolute supporter of Uchiha Itachi."
Genji had witnessed far too many power struggles and infighting within the village.
Whether it was because Uchiha Kei saved Kirigakure, or because of his terrifying strength.
Genji felt that they should give their full support.
This is important to them, the Kirigakure.
It is beneficial and harmless.
"Then thank you very much Genji."
Uchiha Kei thanked him with a grin.
Mei Terumi, who was standing to the side, also understood.
With her keen political sense, she was no stranger to these matters.
She even gleaned more information from those words.
Konoha, which has been silent for a long time...
The world is about to change.
He looked at Uchiha Kei with a hint of envy.
How come Konoha is able to cultivate such outstanding individuals?
Now that things have come to this, she has to admit that Uchiha Kei is outstanding.
They are very powerful.
Exceptional strategist.
Decisive and ruthless!
This was her final assessment of Uchiha Kei.
"The Fourth Mizukage's Genjutsu has been dispelled; it's time for us to return to the village."
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Uchiha Kei announced his departure.
His main purpose in coming to Kirigakure this time was to uncover the mysterious Yang Organization.
Although in the end it still fell short.
However, gaining the support of Kirigakure was a pleasant surprise.
"Leaving so soon?"
Before the Genji could speak, Mei Terumi exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes, we brought them out on a mission and unexpectedly discovered intelligence about the Yang Organization. This trip to Kirigakure has already delayed us for a long time."
Uchiha Kei was taken aback, and then explained.
"Since we've already wasted so much time, staying another day or two won't hurt, and the Fourth Hokage hasn't woken up yet..."
Mei Terumi muttered something under her breath.
Uchiha Kei was speechless for a moment.
There's something strange about this girl.
Is it because they're worried about the Fourth Mizukage?
"I've already dispelled his Genjutsu, and there's nothing more I can do to help him now; he'll have to rely on himself."
"But..."
She was only halfway through her sentence Mei Terumi lowered her head, her hands gripping the hem of her clothes tightly.
You wretched little brat!
It really is...
Genji, on the other hand, looked thoughtful.
"I believe the fourth generation will wake up, so I have no objection to you leaving."
Mei Terumi suddenly looked up, glaring angrily at Genji.
"However, I have a favor to ask..."
Uchiha Kei waved his hand.
"Just tell me, I'll definitely help if I can."
He was somewhat lazy on ordinary days.
But Kirigakure was involved in a great deal, he didn't mind lending a hand.
"That's right, once the Fourth Hokage awakens, I believe the era of the Blood Mist Kirigakure will come to an end!"
Genji's cloudy eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light.
"Therefore, we in Kirigakure can be said to be in dire need of rebuilding."
Uchiha Kei nodded.
That's true.
In recent years, the Blood Mist Blood Mist policy of the Kirigakure Mist Village has caused the entire Kirigakure to stagnate or even regress.
It's no exaggeration to say that everything is in need of rebuilding.
"But the number of talented people in Kirigakure has been depleted far too much in recent years."
Genji sighed deeply.
Uchiha Kei nodded seriously.
But...
What do you mean by telling me all this?
"Therefore, I would like Mei Terumi to represent Kirigakure and go to Konoha to study."
Uchiha Kei was dumbfounded.
Mei Terumi is going to Konoha to study?
What should we learn?
Go to the Ninja Academy?
Looking at the beautiful Mei Terumi, Uchiha Kei fell into deep thought.
At such an old age...
Is it a bit shameful to go to the Ninja Academy...?
Mei Terumi's face lit up with surprise.
Go to Konoha?
With this little man...?
