Entrusting Izumi to Yun Yan
Danzo definitely suffered a huge loss this time.
Yun Yan, who had successfully outmaneuvered Danzo and taken revenge on Root, left without any trouble.
Long before Yun Yan used his Lightning Body Flicker to disappear into the depths of the forest, and before leaving, he unleashed a Thunder Swallow, he secretly used the Flying Thunder God to teleport back to his home without Hiruzen Sarutobi noticing.
After returning home, imagining Danzo's terrible state and ugly expression, Yun Yan took off his mask and couldn't help but smile smugly.
The losses Danzo today should be enough to make him feel the pinch, right?
Putting aside the fact that so many Root died, and the fact that I stole Hashirama Cells, just the fact that I destroyed several of his Sharingan at the very end is enough to make Danzo unbearable pain.
The fact that those Sharingan are now useless is equivalent to Danzo several of Danzo's lives.
Danzo's strength was not that great to begin with; if he didn't have enough lives to squander, his strength would be negligible.
Now that those few lives he could have squandered are gone, it's no wonder Danzo is heartbroken and furious.
The Uchiha Clan hasn't been wiped out yet, so where is Danzo going to get so many Sharingan? Where is he going to replenish his lives?
There was nothing Danzo could do; he could only stare helplessly in fear and anger.
Of course, Yun Yan also considered another possibility: Danzo might still have a few spare Sharingan left in his Root Base. Given Danzo's cautious nature, he might very well do that.
But... it's okay, Yun Yan has other methods.
Thinking of this, Yun Yan smiled slightly, having already made up his mind about some things.
But in any case, tonight's uproar at the Root is finally over.
After removing the mask, Yun Yan began to change his clothes. He carefully stored his No-Face outfit in a secret place, making sure no one would find it.
After changing his clothes, Yun Yan took out a storage scroll from his pocket. It contained a lot of Hashirama Cells, which were both valuable and extremely important.
Similarly, after working on it for a while, Yun Yan stored these things in a very secret place that he trusted.
After doing all this, seeing that it was about three in the morning, and considering that Quan and her mother were still worried, Yun Yan hurriedly left his own home and quietly sneaked back to Quan's house.
This time, Yun Yan didn't need to hide. After arriving at Quan's house, Yun Yan appeared in front of Quan openly and honestly.
When Quan and her mother saw Yun Yan return unharmed and in perfect condition, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Quan breathed a sigh of relief entirely because he was worried about Yun Yan, worried that he was involved in so many things.
The reason why Quan's mother breathed a sigh of relief was that she had figured things out during this time.
Although it's unclear what exactly happened, Yun Yan, with his Mangekyō Sharingan and Flying Thunder God Technique, is clearly quite capable, yet he remains very low-key.
Although he seemed to have gotten himself into a lot of trouble, he had no other choice now. He and his daughter were ostracized by the Uchiha Clan, and he didn't have any other friends or relatives to rely on. Now he could only rely on Yun Yan.
Yun Yan's mother knew a bit about him and considered him a trustworthy person. Entrusting her daughter to him was the only and best option at the moment.
To put it even more bluntly, their family now has no other choice but to rely on Yun Yan.
It was precisely because she understood these things that Quan's mother was worried about Yun Yan. Now that she saw Yun Yan, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Seeing that everyone was safe and sound, everyone felt relieved.
The next part of the conversation took place in Izumi's bedroom, where the three of them sat facing each other and engaged in a relatively serious dialogue.
The conversation was actually quite simple; it was just Izumi and her mother asking what had happened, why Izumi had been attacked that night, and what kind of trouble they had gotten themselves into.
At this point, Yun Yan no longer needed to hide anything. He explained the whole story in detail, making sure Quan and her mother understood what had happened.
Hearing the complicated background and the numerous connections involved, Quan and her mother were momentarily overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information.
Please forgive this mother and daughter for not being able to accept it yet; these matters are simply too complicated and overwhelming.
They were just an ordinary mother and daughter who were ostracized within the Uchiha Clan; the daughter was at Jonin, and the mother was very weak.
Such families are not uncommon in Konoha, but they are quite common and ordinary.
As a result, this ordinary family encountered so many complicated and troublesome things.
Going up the chain of command, it involves high-ranking figures like the Lord Hokage and the elders of Konoha.
This involves the future of the Uchiha Clan.
Further down the line, the impact extended to their family itself.
From any perspective, such a big and complicated matter should have had little to do with their ordinary family, yet the mother and daughter were somehow dragged into it.
Yun Yan his deepest apologies for what happened to Quan and her mother, and apologized on the spot.
After all, it makes sense. If Yun Yan hadn't been so involved, how could these troubles have dragged them, mother and daughter, into this mess?
Ultimately, the culprit is Yun Yan. It was Yun Yan who affected the mother and daughter, and he has to take responsibility for that.
Faced with Yun Yan's sincere apology, Quan shook his head to indicate that he didn't mind, and Quan's mother also sighed to say that it was alright.
Quan didn't care at all because the bok choy was already food for pigs.
Girls are outgoing, and Quan had already decided on Yun Yan. Yun Yan's affairs were her affairs, and she didn't care much about any impact or involvement.
Quan's only worry was his mother.
And what about Izumi's mother?
After learning all this, the woman didn't show any resentment or bitterness. It wouldn't be accurate to say she gladly accepted reality, but she did accept it with resignation.
On the one hand, it's because this mother is sensible; she knows that in these situations, she and her daughter are in a vulnerable position requiring protection.
Since they are in a vulnerable position and Yun Yan is still willing to protect them, they have no right to complain or take their anger out on him. This is a practical consideration.
On the other hand, from an emotional perspective, Yun Yan cares a lot about his daughter. Before going out on a mission, he cast a Genjutsu to protect her and also placed the Flying Thunder God Formula on her, preparing various backup plans.
As expected, these protective measures and backup plans all came in handy.
Putting everything else aside, just considering what happened tonight, what would have become of her and her daughter if it weren't for Yun Yan's Genjutsu?
Her daughter, Izumi, is quite capable and might not fare too badly, but what about herself?
With her own weak abilities, she still comes to cause trouble out of impatience. There's a high chance she'll be kidnapped and captured by the Root ninjas, and then there's a Root chance they'll use her to threaten her daughter.
In that case, the mother and daughter would be in utter danger, and they might both suffer and be captured and Root.
If they get caught and taken to the Root of the problem... their fate could be extremely tragic.
Fortunately, none of this happened. Fortunately, Yun Yan had laid out various contingency plans in advance. Or rather... fortunately, there was this kid, Yun Yan.
Quan's mother had thought things through very clearly. Since Yun Yan cared so much about her daughter, and even teleported all the way from afar to protect her and her daughter when he sensed something was wrong, what else could she say?
From now on, I can only rely on Yun Yan.
After thinking it all through, Quan's mother subtly expressed her intention to entrust her daughter to Yun Yan.
Upon hearing this, Yun Yan immediately agreed, adding that there was no problem, as Quan would definitely not be harmed with him around, and Auntie's safety would also be guaranteed, absolutely no problem.
Upon hearing this, Quan was immediately embarrassed and ashamed that his mother had entrusted him to Yun Yan.
Thus, with the consent of Quan's mother, who was his future mother-in-law, Yun Yan and Quan's relationship progressed smoothly, albeit somewhat reluctantly.
Quan and her mother have officially become Yun Yan's own people, completely joining Yun Yan's side, and will be protected by Yun Yan from now on.
In this way, the matter could be considered a win-win situation, and Yun Yan was in a very good mood.
After everything was explained, it was getting late, and the sky outside was beginning to lighten.
