Konoha: I, Uchiha, just want to die.

Chapter 292: Thundergod's Sword, Budu Yuhun!
The thick clouds in the sky turned from white to red, and then the red light gradually faded.

As a result, the city called Yunming City gradually sank into the night.
Under the gloomy and endless sky, birds flapped their wings, fluttered and landed on the telephone poles, tilting their heads to stare at the desolate streets.

as well as,

A group of people passed by quickly on the street.

Uchiha Ci, Namikaze Minato, Terumi Mei, and Hozuki Mangetsu.

In this dull, silent, and even somewhat depressing atmosphere, it seems as if there is a raging fire burning in the night wind.

In the long-awaited reunion, in the return of the old enemy, in the farewell of life and death, in the present moment when great events are about to happen,

No one spoke, yet everyone wanted to speak.

But they are ninjas, ninjas who work for their own "righteousness"!
A ninja is someone who needs to be patient with his own emotions.

It made Uchiha Cidu sigh, Shimura Danzo really directed a good show.

Even if he closed his eyes, through this [mind's eye], he could see——

Kitsune Man Yue at his side was holding his sharp fangs and staring at him with his one purple eye that suppressed his fighting spirit. His palm was stroking the broad blade of Pingmu Yu, like a thirsty old man who was about to release the beauty, and his overwhelming fighting spirit and murderous intent were surging!
On the other side, the dashing beauty was no longer carefree. She would turn her head from time to time and look at her face, looking at her closed eyes, wanting to say something but stopping herself. The expression on her little face was so heartbreaking.

Seeing the person who had been at the top of his heart so worried, Uchiha Ci wanted to stop, hug her tightly, open his eyes, and tell her in the most indifferent tone, I'm fine, look, these eyes are so beautiful~
But Uchiha Ci can't!

Because of Kakashi, once these eyes are opened, they can perform a murderous eye technique!

Compared to fighting, talking, and being honest with each other, the most important thing now is -

It was to stop the best friend in front of him, who had a smile on his face but a smile that was so suppressed that it made people feel distressed, and to stop him from making such a meaningless sacrifice.

In this way, we walked into the silent night.
No one spoke, and everyone seemed to have spoken a lot.

At last,
"Clap."

The sound of rough stones being crushed by the soles of feet could be heard.
The four of them landed in front of a high peak not far from the inner city. The huge vermilion door in front of them had a crack on the side, and in front of the door were two huge stone statues of gods guarding with spears and swords in their hands, baring their fangs and claws.

quickly,

A young voice floated out from it, which was majestic yet lacking in confidence, glorious yet dull.
"Are you the ones who came to see me?"

"Then please allow the messenger from Konoha to enter first."

"I want to meet you in person!"

Hearing this voice, Namikaze Minato's face immediately became serious and he took a deep breath.

His face had a solemn expression like a martyr, and then he took a firm step forward and walked towards the huge inner courtyard.

Ninjas exist to protect.

This is the "righteousness" of Minato Namikaze!
Shimura Danzo's guidance only opened the door in this direction for him, but what really made him make the decision was that he knew in his heart that
As long as the ninja system exists in this world, it may be impossible to establish a truly peaceful order.

The root cause of the existence of the ninja system lies in its system of being employed.

This system restricted the development of ninjas in other directions, making them only bargaining chips for those in power and cold-blooded killing weapons.

How can love be born from a murder tool?
Continuing the hatred and forming unbreakable shackles is their destined fate!

And now, Namikaze Minato will carry out his will, using this hole accidentally opened by Uchiha Ci, and become the first person to sacrifice himself to rewrite the ninja system!
He wanted to assassinate the daimyo, but he wanted to assassinate more than just the person sitting in this position!
He also wants to cut off their power, sever their respect, and remove their positions!
He also wanted to recommend Uchiha Ci, who was recognized by him and could see all this clearly.

Let this young best friend be the one standing in the sunshine!

Accept all his gifts, protect Kushina, protect everyone in the village, bridge the rift between the Uchiha and the village, and control this force that has been twisted into a rope!

Finally, he became Hokage.

Build an era that truly belongs to ninjas!

An era of freedom!
And he, Minato Namikaze, will serve as the guardian in the darkness, silently protecting all of this.
Of course, it would be better if Kushina could stop calling herself an idiot!!

Minato Namikaze thought so in his heart, and unknowingly walked into the door.

however,
"Ci, why did you follow me?"

What surprised Minato was that Uchiha Ci followed closely at this time.

"Are you an old man? Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

Uchiha Ci raised his eyebrows, snorted coldly, and said briefly,

"Can't I just give you a ride?"

Hearing this, Minato felt warm in his heart and smiled.
He asked this question because he was worried that the son of the daimyo, whom he had never met before, would ambush someone here.

He has nothing to be afraid of, but Uchiha Ci has lost his Sharingan and the tailed beast, so he is no longer as powerful as he once was.

But after thinking about it, he just let Uchiha Ci follow.

He believed that with the Flying Thunder God Technique, even if he encountered a strong enemy like the Third Raikage, he could at least escape with Uchiha Ci!

Passing through the red gate and walking past the waterside pavilion,
The two people walked resolutely in the night wind and soon arrived at a palace-like building. At this moment,

A young man with fair skin and a hint of fear in his eyes was sitting on the main seat in the hall.
This person is the son of the Daimyo of the Land of Thunder. As the young master of the Land of Thunder,

Ryuzoji Sugu!

On his left and right were rows of warriors, each with their hands on their scabbards, staring dangerously at the two men who entered the hall.
Uchiha Ci frowned slightly. With the enhanced senses of [Mind's Eye], he could sense from this palace,

There are also people hiding behind the gauze on the beams in the hall. There are quite a few of them, and there are chakra fluctuations in their bodies.

So it seems,
The young prince of the Thunder Country is a person who lacks a sense of security.

Neither party spoke until Minato and the other two came closer.

The son of the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning, Ryuzoji Sutani, who was sitting on a high seat, then carefully looked at the two people in front of him.

He ignored Uchiha Ci who was handsome but had ordinary black hair, was shorter than Minato, and seemed to be blind, looking like a follower.

His eyes were fixed on the handsome and extraordinary Namikaze Minato.
After seeing Namikaze Minato's iconic golden hair, Ryuzoji Sutani seemed to be relieved, and then asked curiously:
"You, are Minato Namikaze, the ninja known as the 'Yellow Flash'?"

The person in front of him was a young prince from a foreign country. Minato was neither humble nor overbearing in the face of this scene. He just bowed slightly and agreed:
"Yes! Master Shaojun."

Ryuzoji Sugu asked with a hint of excitement:
"I already know the conditions you conveyed to this young master, and I have no objection."

"It's just that I heard that you are very strong?"

"How strong are you?"

The strange thing is,

now,

The thing that the daimyo's son, Ryuzoji Sutani was most concerned about was not the unorthodox conditions presented by Minato, but he actually agreed to all of them. Even when Minato told him that the person to be killed was his old man, his father, his daddy, he did not show any displeasure at all.

Noticing this, combined with the other party's insecure look, the additional manpower in the palace, and the series of horrific events that occurred in Yunming City on this absurd day,
Uchiha Ci's heart suddenly became clear.

He began to understand why the daimyo's son chose to meet with Minato at this time.

Faced with such a straightforward question, Minato Namikaze wanted to be humble.
But at this time,

Behind him, Uchiha Ci suddenly interrupted and said calmly and indifferently:

"He is very strong, so strong that he can keep you safe even when everyone outside wants to kill you!"

"Quit, you."

Hearing this, even if it is the truth,

Minato couldn't help but glare at Uchiha Ci in reproach.
As expected, the samurai guarding the Ryuzoji Temple Sugu saw that Uchiha Ci was so rude, his eyes immediately turned cold, and he shouted angrily:
"How dare you do that in front of the young master!"

However, before the samurai could finish his scolding, Ryuzoji Sutani, who was sitting at the first seat, stood up with an excited look on his face.
"Good! Good! Good!"

He stared at Minato Namikaze as if he was looking at a rare, invincible Guan Gong sword, and the whites of his eyes were filled with bloodshot.
After receiving such a straightforward and arrogant response from Uchiha Ci,

Instead of being angry, he stood up and danced with joy, and spoke to Minato with great emotion:

"Minato-sama!"

"I already know what you want to do!"

"And I already had this idea in my mind!"

At this point, the son of the daimyo could not help but throw his head back and burst into laughter.
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"

"Ryuzoji Nobuo, you have lost all humanity and abandoned your wife and children. In the face of danger, you hid in the Hidden Cloud Village alone."

"You actually left me alone to face so many bandits!"

After laughing, his expression changed again, becoming hideous, distorted and terrifying, as if he had swallowed an unpeeled durian. He clenched his fists tightly and kicked over the table in front of him with a bang!
"A man who is cowardly without fighting is not a king!"

"Even though he is my father, the monarch of this country."

"It's also worth asking for!"

Hearing Ryuzoji Sugu's words and seeing his opponent's behavior, Minato couldn't help but frown slightly.

This son of a daimyo behaved like a frightened bird.
This made Minato a little worried. Could the conspiracy with the other party really be accomplished in the hands of such a person?

When Minato frowned like this,

Ryuzoji Sugu was immediately startled, as if he was afraid that this extremely powerful ninja in front of him would be displeased and abandon him and run away.
He waved his sleeves and called out to his men:
"Quick, go and bring this young master the national treasure inherited from the Land of Thunder!"

"I'm going to give it to Lord Minato!"

"That legendary artifact—"

"Thunder God's Sword, Budu Yuhun!"
