hateful!
That's outrageous!
Mikoto never expected that her Uncle Nanagen'u would actually meet Araki and tell her parents about it.
If Kushina were the only person living in this house, then everything would be fine, and she could continue to stay.
but...
For the Uchiha Clan, gathering information in Konoha was almost effortless; after their investigation, they quickly discovered that the house belonged to Araki.
In this way...
No matter how she explained, it was no use.
Even though Araki doesn't live here at all, she can't stay any longer; she'll have to leave after tomorrow.
Right now.
Araki agreed that we could go shopping tomorrow.
This is just right so she can enjoy her last day here.
This all came at the perfect time!
Araki glanced at the two women again, then nodded silently. This time, he didn't leave the bag in the house, but instead took some talismans with him before turning and leaving his residence.
It's time to go to class.
The main reason Araki didn't waste any more time with Kushina and Mikoto was that it was time to recharge his energy for his daily training session with Tsunade.
Recently.
He discovered that the green Chakra was becoming increasingly durable.
It is almost impossible for it to run out of resources.
However, each time it recharges at the Nawaki, it can still continuously store energy in its heart, as if there is no end in sight.
This feeling is strange.
Araki felt like he was a battery with an abundant energy reserve that was practically inexhaustible, yet could never be fully recharged, as if it had no end.
actually.
Araki wants to know now too.
What will it look like when it's fully charged?
Not long after.
Araki arrived at Tsunade's doorstep.
"Snap!"
At that very moment, the sound of a door opening rang out, and with that sound, a slightly flustered figure appeared directly in front of Araki —it was Tsunade.
" Tsunade-sensei?"
Araki stood at the door, stunned. He had come here for class, and he had just arrived. Why was the teacher leaving already? And judging from Tsunade's expression, something serious seemed to have happened.
In a single thought.
He thought of many things.
perhaps...
It's probably related to Dan Katō!
" Araki, I have some urgent matters to attend to. You can go back or practice on your own," Tsunade immediately instructed Araki.
"Hmm." Araki nodded. He had no intention of going back; now was a good opportunity to recharge. He then said, " Tsunade-sensei, tomorrow..."
"I might not be able to attend class tomorrow. Why don't you come back the day after tomorrow? This matter is a bit urgent," Tsunade said solemnly.
"Yes," Araki replied immediately.
"Hmm..." Tsunade was about to leave, but after a moment's thought, she turned to Araki and said, "Things have been a bit chaotic in the village lately. I don't know the specifics, but I'll tell you when I find out. If you're free tomorrow, come over too. I'm a bit worried about Nawaki."
"Yes," Araki replied again.
"Then I'll leave it to you."
Tsunade nodded to Araki and then left, though she herself wasn't quite sure what she was feeling.
It seems that someone I know has run into some problems.
He wasn't entirely clear on the specifics either.
but...
Ultimately, it reminded her of Nawaki!
Anyone in Konoha can get into trouble now, but not Nawaki, because he's the person she cares about most.
He wouldn't trust anyone else to do it.
Only Araki.
It allows him to feel safe and secure.
After Tsunade left, Araki stared at the half-open door and fell into deep thought.
"If I'm not mistaken, the reason Tsunade is in such a hurry is because there's a major problem in the village, which must be related to Dan Katō."
"The village probably hasn't confirmed whether Dan Katō Dan Katō alive or dead yet, but judging from the timeline, he's been missing for a full half month. Even without any evidence that something happened to Dan Katō, under these circumstances, anyone can guess that he's probably in Doji."
"The biggest problem is Jonin ) have problems!"
"Of course, this kind of question shouldn't be discussed casually before it's confirmed, and it's even more important not to let others know."
This could cause unnecessary panic and may even have the opposite effect.
Araki quickly pondered in his mind. He hadn't received any information about Dan Katō in half a month, which he didn't think was a problem. After all, his position was what it was. He was just a student at the Ninja Academy, not yet graduated, and not even Genin yet. There was no way he could know anything about Jonin matters.
This is beyond his capabilities!
but.
However, a new problem has presented itself to him.
That's a problem for tomorrow.
Before he came out, he had just promised Kushina and Mikoto that he would go shopping with them tomorrow, and Tsunade also happened to have something to do tomorrow, but Nawaki's problem kept Araki away.
actually.
Araki knew.
The Nawaki is not in danger for the time being.
The only one who posed a threat to the Nawaki recently Dan Katō, has died.
but...
He was unaware that this was...
How many " Dan Katō " are there in Konoha? Is anyone still watching Nawaki?
This event, which already seemed to have drawn the attention of the Konoha Jonin, didn't appear to be a particularly good time to act, but it was precisely a very opportune moment.
After all, if this succeeds, the blame can be shifted onto the person who killed Dan Katō.
That is to say...
On Araki himself!
"Absurd!"
Araki's lips twitched violently. He came to the ninja world with no other demands. He didn't expect to shift all the blame onto Danzo, but at least he didn't want to take the Danzo for Danzo.
Otherwise, it would be a disgrace to time travelers!
Let's postpone our shopping trip for a couple of days!
Araki silently considered his options. He had actually thought of a plan: to use his Wood Clone to create a substitute to go shopping in his place. After all, if Nawaki were to encounter the First Hokage's Necklace, his identity would be immediately revealed, and he would have no way to disguise himself.
However, doing so carries enormous risks.
If he were to encounter Tsunade while shopping with these two girls, there would be no way to explain it clearly. The matter of the clones would be exposed, and since he wasn't using the Shadow Clone the Jonin of Konoha would learn, many things would be impossible to explain.
Although it was a promise he made himself, it was not worthwhile to put his Wood Clone at risk of exposure just for something like going shopping, and Araki was unwilling to do so.
"Brother-in-law, why aren't you coming in yet?!"
Nawaki's bored voice came from inside, and he saw Araki standing at the door, deliberately calling him that.
Nawaki now uses the term "brother-in-law" as a way to provoke Araki, like an insult, and a very offensive one at that.
After all, in Nawaki's eyes, Araki was not even ten years old, while his older sister was already twenty-two. This doubling age difference, coupled with his sister's fiery temper, made the term "brother-in-law" too offensive. Sometimes he even wondered if it was going too far.
"Clang!"
As soon as Nawaki finished speaking, the door to the house was closed, Araki walked towards him step by step, a strange smile on his face that seemed very sinister to him.
"What, what are you going to do?" Nawaki couldn't help but shiver.
"You really want me to become your brother-in-law?" Araki asked curiously as he approached.
"No... no..." Nawaki quickly shook his head.
"Isn't that right?" Araki pressed on.
"No! No!" Nawaki suddenly said firmly. Faced with Araki's threat, he dared not curse anymore.
"Then who do you hope it is?" Araki suddenly asked with a smile.
"I... I..." Nawaki's eyes widened, somewhat dumbfounded. This answer had actually caught him off guard.
"Why did you stop talking?" Araki asked with a half-smile.
"Why..."
Nawaki suddenly sighed, his tense expression relaxed, and he immediately shrank back on the tatami mat, his sincere eyes filled with worry.
