The man responsible for delivering the message nodded: "Yes!"
Then he slipped away.
A moment later, Uchiha Fugaku arrived in the Hokage's office.
"Lord Hokage!"
Fugaku bowed slightly.
Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of his cigarette, then raised his head and forced a smile on his face: "I'm sorry to disturb you so suddenly."
"I've received Dai's message!"
Fugaku said directly.
In recent days, news about this war has been spreading to the village from time to time, and the Uchiha clan has naturally received a lot of it.
"Ok!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded.
Then, he spoke somewhat awkwardly.
"This time, we may need the help of the Akatsuki team."
Fugaku nodded: "Understood!"
After hearing the other party's agreement, Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression relaxed, and then he sighed.
"No news yet about Xia Le?"
"It's been five years since he left Konoha, right?"
Hearing this, Fugaku was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "Not yet, but before he left, he left a letter and went out to travel!"
"is it?"
"It would be great if he were here at this moment!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed.
But he felt inexplicably relieved in his heart.
Xia Le's existence is undoubtedly a huge pressure on him as the Hokage. His powerful strength is almost in a dominant position in Konoha, coupled with the assistance of the Uchiha clan.
Then, relate your age to how long you have been in office.
It's really hard to say who will be the next Hokage if he is still around.
The long inheritance of Hokage and the will of fire have been passed down and have become a complex political relationship.
Under such circumstances, with human greed and selfish desires, how could it be possible for the Hokage position to be passed on?
Compared to Xia Le, although Fugaku in front of him also has a Mangekyō, it is undoubtedly easier for the Naruto series to deal with, or control.
"Xia Le, it'll be okay, don't worry Hokage-sama."
Fugaku smiled.
That man's strength is probably unmatched in the entire ninja world.
However, it is indeed strange that five years have passed and there has been no news.
Thinking of this, Fugaku frowned again.
"Get ready for battle!"
"I hope that this time we will suffer less losses!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed.
“Peace is such a difficult thing!”
Fugaku turned and left.
Various news have been circulating in recent days, indicating that other countries are also ready to make a move. Under such circumstances, the start of the Third Ninja World War is only expected.
-
The entrance to Konoha Village.
A figure, pulling a slanted shadow, slowly walked out of the forest.
"It seems like a long time has passed!"
Staring at the village entrance ahead, Xia Le frowned slightly.
He didn't know the time when he would open up a new path, but when he saw some changes in Konoha, he felt something was wrong.
Many things have changed, but these changes cannot be achieved in a short period of time.
"you are?"
At this moment, two figures suddenly walked out from the door and looked at Xia Le in a daze.
Soon after, a hint of shock flashed across the eyes of the two men.
"Master Xia Le from the Uchiha family?"
Xia Le nodded: "It's me!"
"You're still here?"
The two looked at each other and clearly saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
Because the other party has not appeared for five years, many people speculated that the strongest Uchiha might have encountered an unknown crisis while traveling in the outside world and had passed away.
But I didn't expect to see him again today.
"Ok?"
Xia Le frowned.
"what happened?"
The two of them waved their hands quickly: "I'm just a little surprised. I haven't seen you for five years!"
"I still remember the first time I saw you, I was still in the Ninja School and I just saw you from a distance."
One of the Chuunin said with a smile.
"Five years have passed, you say?"
Xia Le's expression suddenly changed.
"Yes!"
The Chunin said curiously.
The next second, Xia Le walked past him and walked quickly towards the village.
The two did not stop him because the other party's identity was very special in Konoha.
And at this moment, the news of Xia Le's return to the village spread at an extremely fast speed.
The first person to receive the news was the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Hokage-sama, Xia Le has returned to the village!"
The Anbu said softly, a subtle look behind the mask.
"Xia Le?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned for a moment, and then his expression became complicated.
Because the previous second, he was still asking the other party and felt relieved that he had disappeared, but at this moment, he received such news.
But soon, a smile appeared on his face.
"The return of Elder Xia Le has given me greater confidence in the upcoming war!"
The ANBU nodded.
Xia Le's strength is obvious to all. He is from the same era as the former White Fang and is known as the Black Flash of Konoha. He has a lot of experience.
At the same time, after about ten years of training, his Akatsuki team is now gradually blooming.
Not long ago, a ninja assessment exposed the members of this team to everyone's sight.
The three of his disciples were the most outstanding, and all of them had been recognized as Jonin. Some of the other civilian ninjas that were recruited before had also become Jonin and Chunin.
It can be said that apart from the Anbu, this Akatsuki team is now the most elite team in Konoha, and it is not an exaggeration.
The Third Hokage was also very clear that although he was nominally the boss of this elite team, the actual control was in the hands of the Uchiha clan.
the other side.
Xia Le returned to the Uchiha clan.
When they saw his figure, the Uchiha clan instantly became excited.
"Elder Xia Le is back!"
"Quick, quick, quick, spread the word that the elder is still alive, Elder Xia Le has returned from his travels!"
"Now, let's see what those guys who mocked us have to say!"
"..."
Listening to the noisy sounds around him, Xia Le frowned slightly.
After a moment, Fugaku sat face to face with him.
"Elder Xia Le, where have you been for the past five years?"
Fugaku asked with a smile.
Xia Le raised his head and glanced at the kid behind him, who was about three or four years old.
“I didn’t go anywhere!”
"I found a secluded place in the Konoha Forest to meditate."
Fugaku was stunned: "The elder is in the Konoha Forest?"
"Not bad!"
"Is this your son Itachi?"
"I'm sorry that I missed your wedding with Mikoto!"
Xia Le said with some regret.
"It doesn't matter. My wedding with Mikoto was also simple, and only a few people were notified."
Fugaku said with a smile.
Then, he reached out and grabbed Itachi.
"However, even though I missed the wedding, I still can't miss the gifts."
Hearing this, Xia Le was stunned and shook his head awkwardly: "I don't have any gifts to give now!"
"Itachi!"
Fugaku laughed and called the child beside him.
Although the latter was young, he was very smart and sensible. He lowered his head and said, "Father!"
"Call the teacher!"
Fugaku pointed at Xia Le.
Itachi was stunned, and a big question mark appeared on his little head.
Xia Le also understood at this time and couldn't help but laugh.
This guy is insisting on a wedding gift.
"Call the teacher!"
Fugaku said again.
"teacher!"
Itachi said in a baby voice, his pair of dark eyes looking at Xia Le curiously.
"So, you are waiting for me here."
