Blind Uchiha and Platinum Star

Chapter 185 Chapter 180 Three: Master Duan Shui and 'Hokage Root' (5.7k)

"Master Jiraiya, which side do you think I am on?"

The words spoken by the boy from the Uchiha clan in front of him made Jiraiya scratch his head again.

"Cunning brat, you are really good at throwing questions back."

Cheng Yi laughed: "I didn't throw it back, but even if I give a clear answer, it can't be the real answer in Master Jiraiya's heart, right?"

"I'm the 'Uchiha kid who knows how to lie' in your mind."

Jiraiya sighed slightly, and did not continue this topic.

"What an unlovable little bastard."

Seiichi also tactfully kept pace.

Just before he knocked on the door, he suddenly said:

"Speaking of which, my lord, does Auntie Jiushina cook delicious food?"

Zilai also looked sideways slightly, and said seriously: "You'd better get rid of the habit of addressing this before entering the house. Girls who haven't given birth to children all care about this kind of thing."

"Food. It's delicious. Anyway, after a few rounds of drinking, I can't taste anything."

Mr. Ziraiya speaks very tactfully.
Alas. Just know.
He Uchiha Seiichi refused a delicious meal
But if you think about it, you can guess who cooks better food just by looking at the difference in temperament between Kushina and Mikoto, so you shouldn't expect anything like this.

Jiraiya also pushed open the door of the house that Seiichi was not familiar with.

"Yo Minato, I brought this kid here for you."

Cheng Yi glanced slightly at the number of people in the room, and it was as expected.

Kakashi was sitting on the side of the water gate and seemed to be reporting something, and the shoes on the entrance also indicated that Lin should also be helping in the kitchen at this moment.

Originally, Obito should be there, but it's a pity that I invited him, but he misses his grandma so much, it's really not easy to force him.

Minato turned his head to look at the visitor at home, and first nodded slightly at Jilaiya.

"It's hard work teacher."

"Haha, what's so hard about it, you can have a free meal after running errands, no matter how many times you come to such a simple task, this old man will not refuse."

The handsome golden retriever didn't say much anymore, he also knew that it was a great blessing that Mr. Jiraiya could continue to support him like this.

"And. Chengyi-kun, good evening."

"Good evening, Minato-sama." Seiichi also acted extremely politely.

Anyway, he is also a child of the upper class ninja of the Uchiha clan.

Although the education of etiquette and literacy is not as good as that of the Hyuga clan who still follow the patriarchal system, they have been taught since childhood.

The smile on Minato's face was as kind as ever, but it seemed to be somewhat exhausted and weak.

It seems that this period of time has not been particularly easy for this golden flash.

After all, there are no capable subordinates to help with affairs, and almost everything has to be handled by him.

At present, those who have the "will" to assist him with all their heart and soul are all Konoha's "new generation talents".

This is the aftermath of the 'violent' handover. Before cultivating one's own cronies, such days may last for a long time.

Seiichi barely counts as a non-staff member of the Minato faction.

Really reliable, there is really only one master Ziraiya and one apprentice Kakashi.

And no matter how good Kakashi is, he is only good in the sense of being a 'ninja'.

In many things, like his teacher of "Rookie Hokage", he is still a complete novice.

Others are more or less unreliable.

"Huh? Is that Mr. Chengyi here? Let me see! Lin will leave it to you first!"

"Eh?! Wait, sister Kushina? I'm still frying eggs."

"It's okay, it's okay, just help watch the fire!"

"Eh?!"

There was a commotion from the kitchen.

A head of long bright red hair came into view, and Makoto leaned slightly: "Hi, it's our first time meeting, Kushina Uzumaki. Senior, my name is Makoto Uchiha."

"Ah, so you are the Seiichi that Minato and Mikoto talked about!"

Before Cheng could finish speaking, the woman with thick branches and leaves put her arms around his head and twisted his cheek vigorously.

She glanced around Cheng whole body as if very curious, and was particularly interested in this young man who was so outstanding no matter whether it was said by her friends or her husband.

"Oh, I didn't notice it in the blink of an eye at first, but I was unexpectedly cute."

Chengyi: "."

Not why?

What kind of body search and test is this?
if not
Now it is confirmed where Naruto's straight-ball robot's temperament was inherited.

Minato blushed a little: "Well, well, Kushina, let Cheng finish talking. You should have something to tell me, Seiichi-kun?"

"Yes"

When Kushina heard this, she suddenly looked back and glanced at Minato, not knowing what it meant.

Minato also feels dark.

"I forgot about Minato, Seiichi-kun, you are now Minato's Anbe? That's amazing, you still look like a child."

"But be careful, Anbu's job is not that easy, Kakashi, you have to listen to it, you know?"

"Yes, Mrs. Kushina, Kakashi will keep it in mind." Although Kakashi still dragged the dead fish eye, he answered Kushina's worry honestly.

At this moment, after taking a sip of the wine, Zilai also picked up the appetizers that were already on the table with his chopsticks, and at the same time turned around and said, "Jiu Xinnai, if you are worried about this kid's strength, I can guarantee it."

"Hmph, Teacher Zilaiya, shouldn't you worry about something else?"

"Um"

Ji Lai stopped talking, and turned his head to look at Minato with some helplessness.

"Sister Jiuxinna, come back soon! Both sides are going to have trouble! What should I do!"

"It's coming, I'm sorry Lynn."

Seiichi was finally able to sit down.

He seemed to be deeply relieved, and gave Kakashi a look of 'what a terrible woman'.

Kakashi closed his eyes slightly, but did not refute.

This aboveboard eye contact naturally couldn't escape the observation of the two old ninjas on the table.

Minato's home is not too big, on the long dining table, Minato and Kakashi are sitting facing the window at the moment, and Jiraiya is also sitting alone in a corner facing the kitchen, sipping wine.

The corner closer to the kitchen and the water gate is left blank at the moment, which is obviously where Kushina is.

Seiichi sat opposite Kakashi.

"Chengyi-kun, how are you doing recently?"

Minato raised the topic, but it seemed to be a casual question.

Cheng nodded a little: "Hey, except that I went back to the clan with my brother this afternoon, it's the same as before, nothing very unexpected."

Jiraiya remained silent, although Kakashi wanted to speak, but he held back.

Minato picked up the water bottle and poured a glass of ice water for Cheng Yi and continued: "So, Cheng Yi-kun, do you have no plans to move back to the clan area? I think the misunderstanding on your side will be resolved soon."

Cheng nodded and took it, taking a sip of cold water.

"No, I don't plan to move back to the Hui family anyway, and the family is still alone."

"It's pretty good now, not to mention that Auntie Liye already has a baby, and I want to hug that baby more."

There was a sudden 'thump' sound from the kitchen for some reason, and Minato's head sank subconsciously, as if he was dodging something.

A meaningful smile appeared on Seiichi's face.

"Compared to me, Minato-sama, you don't look very good. Are you a little too busy recently?"

Kushina hinted a few times before that if it was someone else, Seiichi might still think that this person is not as simple-minded as in the original book.

And after this probing sentence, Seiichi understood exactly where Kushina's 'maternity' that seemed to come out came from.

I'm afraid it's because so many 'babies' have poured into the house together, making her feel even more unbalanced?

Whoa whoa. Poor Minato.

Where is your safe place now?
Minato looked slightly embarrassed, and continued:

"Hey, the many things left over recently are indeed a bit tricky. But these things, you and Kakashi are not suitable for participating in them yet."

Sincerity is clear.

That's a hint. Let me stay out of these things?
But yes, apart from Minato and Orochimaru, Uchiha Seiichi is probably just a sharp knife in the heart of Konoha upper ninja.

Participating in all this in person can be uncomfortable.

It is also very simple to give an example. A "Jinyiwei" who entered the public eye by liquidating the "former prime minister" has to talk to the ministers alone
I'm afraid that in the minds of all the ministers, they will only feel that the person who came to the door was a plague god rather than a talker.

Therefore, Chengyi changed the subject and said casually:

"Speaking of which, what about Teacher Orochi, I haven't seen him for a while."

Speaking of Orochimaru, Jiraiya, who had been on the sidelines, frowned slightly.

"That guy, Minato, you'd better pay more attention. Although I think he's actually a nice guy, he... has done some bad things after all."

".Even if he is the old man's friend, I can't say that I dare to guarantee him."

Huh. This is a somewhat unexpected piece of information.

It seems that the experiment of making wooden ninjas jointly ordered by the third generation and Danzo was not hidden from Jiraiya.

Although the experiments that Orochimaru has done on the surface may occasionally make people feel creepy, it is not enough for this close friend to issue such a warning.

It must be a major event related to human life.

Regarding Orochimaru's experiments on immortal arts, and even reincarnation in the dirty soil, Jiraiya probably hasn't discovered it yet, otherwise in the original book, how dare he leave Konoha swaggeringly.

If I found out now, I would have been unable to sit still.

Minato obviously didn't take the teacher's words as a deaf ear, he nodded deeply.

"So, I also hope that Seiichi, you can go and coordinate with your teacher Orochimaru. The darkness of the root organization has just been liberated and I can't condone it. Konoha is leading darkness again under his leadership."

Let the disciples monitor their own teachers?
Um.
This is somewhat of a warning.

After all, let Orochimaru become the new root leader, or reform and reorganize the root organization
In this regard, Seiichi and Orochimaru are on the same side.

Whether it's the research on Baijue and the cells between the pillars, or finding a way to counteract the side effects of Kaleidoscope Sharingan, or Seiichi's selfishness.

It caused him to have to lean towards Orochimaru at that time.

Therefore, Minato used this method to test himself out.

Facing this seemingly unofficial task.

Although Seiichi didn't get up, he still nodded solemnly and said, "Konoha Anbe Uchiha Seiichi has correctly accepted this task from Minato-sama."

After receiving such an answer, the smile on Minato's face finally eased a little.

At the young man's request, whether it is the identity given by the name of "Special Action Anbu", or the power of the "new root leader" Orochimaru.

All of this made Minato faintly uneasy.

It is undoubtedly good news for Konoha that the abscess of the old root, the Konoha, has been dug out, and the interference of the old forces headed by the third generation has been ruled out.

But in order to achieve this goal, the cost
It also released considerable power to the so-called two 'companions' on the same ship.

Even Watergate can be said to be forced to participate in this struggle for power, so how can they feel at ease.

The accident at the very beginning was so unexpected that the meeting could not be more unexpected.
'I just want you to be silent. '

Minato finally fully understood the energy contained in these words.

So...he couldn't keep silent at all.

He had to stand up and ask, even question, what the Uchiha boy and the senior Orochimaru wanted to achieve.

And now.
Seiichi Uchiha still accepted this task as a subordinate.
At least it can be confirmed that he is not completely on the side with Orochimaru.

The worry in Minato's heart can finally be released a little bit.

Seiichi looked at this 'newcomer Hokage' meaningfully.

The few words on the table of this "banquet" that has not officially started, seem to be very ordinary greetings and worries on the surface.

But under this table, Minato's temptations have come from the dark several times.

The level is much higher than that of Fuyue!
Seiichi took the initiative to say that he did not move back to the Uchiha clan, expressing that he did not want to stand completely with Uchiha.

And the topic of Orochimaru seems to be randomly mentioned, which is also leading Jiraiya and Minato into worries about "new roots".

When it came time to take over the task of monitoring Orochimaru to prevent him from acting too indulgently, it was Seiichi who was telling Minato.

I didn't fall to any side, not even the water gate itself.

I have to say that Minato, a guy with a gentle smile, is actually not simple in his mind.

Compared with the straight-forward big swinging fists with Fuyue in the clan land, after coming to this small home, there is more or less the meaning of Tai Chi pushing hands.

The dark energy is surging, every push and grab is full of probing meaning.

But although Minato wasn't going to be led by the nose like Fugaku, but he was also firmly in his hands.

This bowl of water is flat on one end.

Because if it's not fair, many of the previous things will be in vain.

He's not doing this for a little shit power.

on the bright side
It is much more difficult to help a Hokage who was born as a commoner and only has military exploits to really take control of Konoha than to let a powerful family seize power.

It's like Jiraiya's confusion about Uchiha Seiichi's as if seeing flowers in a fog, so that he can only ask his position in person in the end
In this ninja world, no one can really see clearly Uchiha Seiichi's position.

Painful and painstakingly selected two 'war orphans' civilian-born ninjas to become Konoha's new helm.

its intent.
Naturally, in order to disintegrate the current family power of Konoha, Konoha was dismembered again, forming the status quo of "a family in a village in a village".

Therefore, Seiichi, who is Uchiha, cannot be Hokage, and cannot even have too much power on the surface.

This is what he said to Fu Yue
Important, is 'identity'.

The 'shadow' born of common people, the 'root' born of common people. Plus, a group of 'fire' from another world.

A brand new 'Hokage root' system.
This is Uchiha Seiichi's goal.

'Fire' cannot have power, because power is a dirty swamp.

No matter how hot the flames are, it is inevitable that they will sink into the abyss made of rotting flesh and blood.

It must stand alone.

"Shadow" cannot be slanted, but must be pure-minded and dedicated to fighting for the common people.

The place 'shrouded' by 'shadow' should also be the place illuminated by 'fire'.

Minato is this "selfless" person, a small family, a couple of wives and children are all of his "selfish desires".

The 'root' must not be bloated, its mission is to provide nourishment for the branches and trunks, and the 'it' must not have a family.

Because there is no 'family', there is no need to 'hoard'.

Orochimaru pursues eternity, and only the eternal "life" will not make the "root" become greedy.

Because greed means nothing to 'eternity', which is everything.

And if.
'Shadows and Roots' is starting to rot.

'Fire' will burn them up.

The burning of 'decay' will bring new 'shadow'.

The size of the 'shadow' means the growth of the 'tree'.

'Trees' need 'roots' to provide nutrients in order to thrive.

And wait until next time.
'Fire' is still the end of 'decay'.

It's just... one more time.

No one anyone is special.

Only this 'fire' from another world cannot change.

But 'fire' is not the only one.

Cannot be the only one.

Improper is 'unique'.
Therefore he needs companions, comrades,
up to.
Comrade.

However, the road is long and long, and the road is blocked and the long journey is approaching.

There are still many things that need him to do.

The destination of the next stop has also been determined.

Thinking of this, Seiichi wanted to sigh a little.

What were you thinking about before?
'Little pendulum for a day'.?

can't move
Mr. Orochimaru, you have to show some results to everyone in Konoha Village.

Otherwise push to a root and regenerate a root
Whether it's Konoha's family power, or the new Hokage, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult to deal with.

Of course, even if they all accept it.

The most embarrassing test is actually him Uchiha Seiichi.

He is the one who will not allow the 'root' to spread and become bloated again.

I made you a 'root'. I didn't want you to start sucking blood unscrupulously.

However, Konoha's new Hokage said that he hinted that he should not participate in the current struggle.
But look at your dark circles are swollen.
Everything else is fine, don't die suddenly
And Naruto
Very important!
You kid can't lose my Naruto because of a small loss.

So Seiichi took another sip of clear water and suddenly said:
"By the way, Minato-sama, I have another friend I want to introduce to you."

Minato was taken aback for a moment: "Friend?"

"Hey, it seems that the abscess of the root can be pulled out smoothly, but it would not be possible without his help."

Minato raised his eyes slightly: "Well, my friend, do you live far away?"

Cheng Yi smiled: "Do you want to prepare an extra table and chopsticks? Master Minato."

Minato seemed to hesitate a little, but Jiraiya sipped his sake and said:

"Anyway, Kushina also prepared for Obito, didn't she? She worked hard this time. If there is a lot of food left, I'm afraid she will be sad."

Naturally, Minato would not ignore the teacher's words.

He nodded and said, "Then Chengyi, please take that friend with you."

Hearing this, let's get together.

"Then forgive me for being rude, I will go back soon, don't worry."

However.
Waited and waited until both Jiuxinna and Lin had completely prepared the prepared dishes and served them on the table.

Cheng Yi is still missing.

Ji Lai also had an ugly expression on his face: "What the hell is going on, kid?"

Could it be because I told him before coming in that the food would not be delicious?
It can't be because of something like this.
Just when everyone was a little embarrassed, Cheng Yi's voice of the same complaint came from outside the door.

"Oh, hurry up, can you really bring so many things?"

"Chengyi, didn't you say that?"

"Okay, let's go in and talk."

Everyone finally got to meet Seiichi's so-called friend.

He looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, and his face was fairly neat.

only.
what's the matter with his appearance
What are those big bags and small bags on their backs?The appearance of the pocket is also very strange. It looks a bit like some kind of leftover skin.

The visitors were a little dazed when they saw such a large table, especially the eye-catching silver, gold and red heads.
Chengyi rubbed his head and said helplessly, "I told him to come over quickly."

"But...he said that he is a fan of Jiraiya-sama, so he insisted on carrying these things."

Zilai was also slightly stunned.

"Are you my fan too?"

　Sorry for the lateness. Don't ask, I'm a coward.

　　It will be updated normally tomorrow.
