" Lord Uya, this is..."
Finally, someone spoke up, somewhat surprised. It was Anko, who had just arrived, and she was the only one who dared to ask Uya at this moment.
Uya turned around, ignoring the gazes of others, looked at Anko, and then spoke softly to her.
"An assassin infiltrated Konoha, intending to destroy Konoha from underground. Danzo led the Root ninja in a desperate resistance, but they all perished in the process..."
Although Danzo was extremely dark, Uya was too lazy to expose him, especially for a little girl like Anko. It was better to keep her away from the dark side of Konoha.
As for whether this statement is true or false, there is absolutely no need to distinguish it, because he said it, so it must be true!
After saying that, Uya turned to look at a certain spot in the crowd and said calmly, "Is that so, Lord Hokage?"
The crowd parted to make way, and the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, appeared there with a bitter expression. However, he was also decisive; after taking a deep breath, he nodded to Uya.
That's it.
At a time like this, how could Hiruzen Sarutobi not agree with Uya's words!
Even just now, in the crowd, Hiruzen Sarutobi was extremely uneasy, fearing that Uya's anger would lead him to take it out on the entire Konoha, which would be a huge problem.
At the same time, he hated Danzo to the Danzo because Danzo hadn't reported to him at all this time. However, he did know about Shisui Uchiha's death. Combined with the fact that Uya had appeared at the Root's base, even a fool could guess what Danzo had done!
They truly deserved to die!
The people of Konoha were initially somewhat skeptical of Uya's words, but when they saw the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, nod in confirmation, they immediately believed him to be about 70-80%.
Although they still had doubts about what kind of assassin could be so powerful as to drag the entire Root base down with them, they guessed that some kind of Secret Technique of mutual destruction had been used. Judging from the surrounding scene, it did resemble the scene when the Reverse Four Symbols Sealing Technique was used.
Of course, the more astute Jonin and Elite Jonin didn't believe this nonsense at all. They vaguely guessed the truth, but none of them dared to say it.
"I see. So, it was Lord Uya arrived in time and resolved everything."
Anko showed a hint of realization, and her gaze towards Uya became even more admiring.
Beside Anko, another girl was looking at Uya with similar admiration. She was Kurenai Yuhi, Hinata's teacher in the original story. Kurenai Yuhi Asuma Sarutobi could also be seen in the crowd.
Kurenai Yuhi, Asuma Sarutobi, Kakashi Hatake, Might Guy —the four teachers of the Konoha 12 in the original work—are all around the same age, except for Anko, who is slightly younger, only about ten years old.
The strongest and highest-ranking person right now is Kakashi Hatake, who is already Jonin. Next is Might Guy, Might Guy can now open the Fifth Gate with minimal side effects and is almost at the Sixth Gate, making him Special Jōnin.
Kurenai Yuhi, Asuma Sarutobi, and Anko are all now Elite Chunin.
In fact, Anko's strength should be no less than Kakashi Hatake's, but since she has always served as Orochimaru's assistant and has not participated in any missions, not many people know her true strength.
Seeing Uya approach, Anko blurted out, almost as if possessed, "Um... Lord Uya, would you mind if I invited you to have some dumplings?"
puff!
Hong, who was standing next to Anko, almost spat out her water when she heard what Anko said.
Even Ichiraku Uya was amused by Anko's words. He had originally planned to leave Konoha directly, but he changed his mind slightly and smiled at her, saying, "Okay."
As soon as she finished speaking, Anko sensed something was wrong. First of all, the environment was problematic. This was the Root's base, and it had just experienced a fierce battle where even Hokage's Danzo, had died. Yet, she was so carefree as to start thinking about food.
And what's with the other one, offering Uya dumplings?!
She didn't feel embarrassed at all, but Kurenai Yuhi was incredibly embarrassed for her. Compared to Anko, who was more relaxed around Uya, Kurenai seemed much more reserved in front of Uya. After all, Uya's current status was that of the God of the Shinobi World, a being above the Five Kage.
To the surprise of both Hong and Anko, Uya actually agreed!
It was utterly unbelievable; they weren't even as shocked as Danzo died. The two of them stood there dumbfounded, unable to react for a long time.
Amegakure.
In the distance, a figure streaked across the sky in a white arc, like a shooting star, and wherever it went, the rain parted.
The figure landed directly on the tallest building in the center of Amegakure, then went inside, walked to a room, and pushed open the door.
" Uya?!"
Kushina was bored in her room when she suddenly saw Uya push open the door. She was surprised at first, then smiled happily.
She hadn't seen Uya for a month, and she was feeling rather down.
"Hmm, try this. I brought it from Konoha, it shouldn't be cold yet." Uya smiled slightly at Kushina and placed a bowl of Kushina in front of her.
"Isn't this one of those delicate dumplings from Konoha?"
Although Kushina had been away from Konoha for a long time, she recognized her at a glance.
Uya nodded. "Hmm, the taste is pretty good."
Looking at the dumplings in her hand, Kushina felt incredibly happy. Although she had just eaten, the fact that Uya had come all the way from Konoha and still thought of bringing her something instantly wiped away any worries she had had about not seeing Uya for a month.
Of course, Uya often had to go out for business, and Kushina had gotten used to it.
Even when staying in Amegakure, Uya would often go into seclusion for training, sometimes for as long as half a month. However, their relationship never became strained, because no matter how far apart they were, there was no distance between their hearts.
In the tranquil and elegant bedroom, Kushina, dressed in a light, thin garment, sat cross-legged with her eyes slightly closed, practicing her cultivation to Sage Body.
Uya sat beside her, helping her cultivate while observing the situation within his own Soul Space.
Upon returning, Uya once again released some of his suppression, and the Chakra overflowing from the purple sphere in his Soul Space grew from a thin strand to a thicker one.
After his battle with Kotoamatsukami, Uya's control over his soul became increasingly adept, and his Soul Space became more stable. As a result, his speed in absorbing Chakra and refining his soul nearly doubled!
In that sense, it seems we should actually thank Danzo.
However, precisely because the speed increased, the Chakra contained within that meteorite was insufficient to support Uya's training for too long.
It should be noted that as cultivation continues, Uya can further increase his cultivation speed.
Although, if you calculate it, the Chakra contained in the meteorite that Uya absorbed was enough to support his training for at least six months and at most a year, Uya still felt that he could go to Rōran as soon as possible.
Rōran is a small country in the desert, but it has a Chakra Dragon Vein containing a huge amount of Chakra Dragon Vein, which can even interfere with space and time!
Compared to that meteorite, the Chakra of this Dragon Vein must be much stronger. After all, Chakra capable of disrupting space and time must be beyond imagination. (To be continued.)
