It was a rare gathering. Except for Kushina and Mikoto who did not drink alcohol because they were pregnant, the other men were drinking unsteadily. Even Anyo was in a tipsy state, leaning on a chair and smelling of alcohol.
Minato came over with a red face and asked, "Anyo, when do you plan to get married?"
Anyo sneered and said, "I've been married a long time ago."
"When? Why didn't I know?" Minato looked surprised.
"You're not here." Anyo flashed through Kirigakure's time in his mind and said grandly, "My wedding was much more popular than yours. The whole village Ninja attended, at least a hundred tables of banquets, and fireworks filled the sky. It's nothing like yours. With just such a small number of people, it doesn't look like a Hokage wedding ceremony."
"Minato, don't listen to Little White Mao's nonsense here. He is probably drunk. I have never seen anyone in Konoha get married with such a grand ceremony."
Kushina, who was wearing a white wedding dress today, was full of ladylike temperament, but unfortunately her true colors were revealed as soon as she opened her mouth.
Even Mikoto on the side didn't believe it and said insinuatingly, "Why have I never seen you bring your wife over for me to see?"
Little Chili Pepper can ignore her, but when facing sister Mikoto, Anyo said with a smile, "She looks average, not as good-looking as you, sister Mikoto, so I never brought her out."
Mikoto thought it was a lie when he heard it. He knocked Anyo on the forehead and said, "I know it's nonsense."
Anyo looked out the window and said, "It's getting late. I'll take you home and leave time for the two newlyweds."
Mikoto nodded and said, "That's fine."
"Kushina, Minato, bless you."
"Thank you, Sister Mikoto."
Seeing the two people leaving, the other men stumbled to their feet and congratulated each other before leaving.
Along the way, Mikoto persuaded Anyo from time to time, "Look, Minato who are about the same age as you are getting married. Why don't you care at all? There are many good girls of marriageable age in the family. How about..."
"No." Anyo refused. "Sister Mikoto, you don't have to worry about this, I have someone I like."
Seeing that nothing made sense, Mikoto sighed and had no choice but to keep silent.
When we arrived at Uchiha Clan Compound, Fugaku was waiting for Mikoto. After seeing Anyo, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
Fugaku took a step forward and said, "Mikoto, you go back first, I will discuss something with Anyo."
Mikoto glanced at the two of them and responded, "Okay."
The two walked along a small road Clan Grounds until they came to a dilapidated old house and stopped.
Fugaku spoke, "Anyo, I heard Shisui say that you came here, presumably for the stone tablet passed down from generation to generation by the Uchiha Clan."
Anyo said calmly, "Yes."
"Then you should already know the origin of our clan." Fugaku said excitedly, "We and Senju Clan are both descendants of Sage of Six Paths, and Konoha was founded by the two clans together. Do you think the current Konoha is fair to the Uchiha Clan?"
"It seems that you are still dissatisfied with not becoming Hokage." Anyo understands Fugaku's thoughts, but does not agree. From the perspective of the village, Minato is indeed more suitable than him.
Fugaku snorted coldly, "Not only am I dissatisfied, there are even more voices of dissatisfaction among the clan. Our clan has made so many contributions to the village, but what has been gained in return? It is normal that you can't feel it after being away from the clan for so long. Anyo, I now solemnly invite you to return to the clan, and appoint you to be the next Clan Head of Uchiha."
Facing Fugaku's invitation, Anyo seemed very calm. "I think you should have thought about it for a long time before making this decision."
"Yes, as long as you come back, I will help you to the greatest extent." Fugaku was full of confidence and felt that Anyo would agree.
However, what Anyo said made him frustrated.
"Fugaku, your vision has always been narrow, always limited to the family. This is one of the reasons why you can't be Hokage. Of course, Hokage is actually the same. You can only hold one Konoha in your heart." Anyo smiled lightly and said, "I am different. My heart is narrower and only contains myself, so I refuse."
"You let me down so much." Fugaku said angrily, "I'm so ashamed of the Bloodline Uchiha Clan inside me."
"Hey, you still don't understand." Anyo sighed, "When Madara Uchiha ran away from Konoha, no one followed Uchiha Clan. Do you think it was he who abandoned the family, or the family who abandoned him?"
"Bloodline, Clan Head, Hokage are all false, only strength is real." Anyo gave the final warning. "Instead of feeling sorry for yourself, it is better to work hard to improve your strength. That's all."
After saying that, Anyo didn't care whether Fugaku listened or not, and Body Flicker Technique left directly, leaving Fugaku with an indignant look on his face.
Arriving at the gate of Root, a figure stood here like a piece of wood, almost blending into the darkness.
Anyo recognized him at a glance. "Yugao, why are you here?"
After seeing Anyo, Yugao said with a dissatisfied look on his face, "Have you been avoiding me?"
"No." Anyo simply forgot about it.
Yugao took out a letter from Scroll, tore it up in front of Anyo, and said firmly, "I will not leave Anbu."
"Why, now that Third Shinobi World War is over, you can put down the knife and enjoy this hard-won peace."
"After leaving Anbu, I don't know where to go?" Yugao's tone was hesitant. Although he was wearing a mask, it was expected that the face under the mask was full of confusion.
Anyo laughed and said, "How could you not know? Isn't Konoha so big that you can't accommodate you?"
"I'm the only one left." Yugao's bleak tone was filled with loneliness.
This loneliness made Anyo's heart tremble. After a moment of silence, Anyo popped up a flame and burned the Scroll 0 that Yugao tore off. said, "Okay, then you stay at Anbu, practice Swordsmanship well, and don't waste it. It is very dangerous for Anbu to perform tasks."
Yugao said happily, "Okay, I will."
"Now, follow me, the same place."
The two came to Training Ground where they met for the first time, and Yugao began to demonstrate the basics Swordsmanship to Anyo.
Among Third Shinobi World War, Yugao's strength has improved the fastest among the team members, and Swordsmanship has made great progress. With Anyo's guidance, there is almost no bottleneck. The only shortcoming is that he is too young, and his physical strength and Chakra have not yet reached their peak, making it impossible to fight for a long time.
After the demonstration, Yugao looked at Anyo expectantly.
Anyo praised without hesitation, "It seems that you have been persisting and practicing well. Next, I will demonstrate my Eight Great Swordsmanship Techniques to you. How much you can learn from it depends on your understanding."
"Zheng..."
There was a sound of the sword, and Unintentional Blade was unsheathed.
Starting from Iaido, the entire Training Ground was shrouded in Blade Light. The dense sword light poured out like a mountain of ten thousand knives. The sharp and shocking wind pressure of Blade Light caused cracks to appear on the ground.
The final blow to Okatana Swordsmanship was accompanied by a "boom" sound, and a rocky mountain in front of Training Ground exploded instantly. Earth and rocks were scattered in all directions, and holes of different sizes were shot out of the surrounding trees. The destructive power was astonishing.
Yugao, who had watched it completely, let out a deep breath, with nothing but shock in his eyes.
