The children weren't scheming, so they didn't notice the malice coming from their "big brother."
Mito Vortex chuckled but didn't point it out.
After the story was finished, the children all ran out to play. Little Qingyue seemed to be quite happy as she blended in with them.
Akabane breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed like he hadn't gone too far off track. Mito Vortex's brainwashing skills were still top-notch.
After the children all left, Mito Vortex sat up straight and stared at Akabane for a while before saying, "I keep feeling like you're maliciously speculating about me."
"No … I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare."
Akabane chuckled awkwardly.
He almost forgot that she had the ability to sense malice, but fortunately, she was still far from being able to read minds.
Mito Vortex chuckled coldly but didn't expose him. Instead, she continued, "In your manga, Orochi Maru went to Tsunade to treat his hand injury and mentioned that he killed two of his most beloved people. Could it be that one of them was me?"
"How could it be? With your life, who else in the world can take it away from you apart from time?"
Akabane flattered her lightly.
"Oh? So you're saying that one of them was you? "
Mito Vortex smiled faintly. Her intelligent eyes seemed to have seen through everything.
"Cough, cough."
Akabane coughed violently and couldn't help but blush.
He was old and experienced, and there were some things that couldn't be hidden from her. His mind raced as he tried to think of an explanation.
At this moment, Mito Vortex smiled smugly as she rocked back and forth in her chair. "If it was Jiraiya or anyone else, I might have to go to the hospital to visit you and Jiraiya when your next volume is released. If it was you …"
"What would happen?"
Akabane became nervous.
Hospitalized?
At least they had some foundation in their relationship. It couldn't be that serious, right?
"Hohoho ~ Won't you know when Tsunade returns after the new volume is released? Spoilers aren't a good habit, little Akabane. You said it yourself. "
Uzumaki Mito laughed treacherously, and there was a hint of schadenfreude.
Akabane gritted his teeth.
If you don't want to talk about it, please don't mention it in the first place!
He gritted his teeth and asked, "When will Tsunade come back?"
"You're very concerned?"
Mito Vortex continued to tease Seiji, which was followed by another round of laughter.
However, after the laughter, she fell silent. After a full ten seconds, he said, "Her father gave birth to a younger brother for her, so Tsunade went over to check on the situation."
"Little brother?"
Akabane was stunned for a moment. Tsunade's brother was Rope Tree.
Now he was born …
"I think it was named Rope Tree."
Mito Vortex shook her chair rhythmically, as if she didn't care about this at all. She also seemed a little helpless about Tsunade's "father."
"Speaking of which, who is Tsunade's father?"
Akabane was somewhat curious.
The manga didn't mention Tsunade's parents, and it didn't even specify Tsunade's surname. Although he lived in the Forest of Thousand Hands, perhaps only the Thousand Hands members knew what his surname was.
Mito Vortex glanced at him and remained silent for a while before saying, "As the child of the God of Ninja, he has been under tremendous pressure since he was a child. However, he didn't inherit any of his parents' talents, so most people doubted him, so …"
"He ran away from home?"
Akabane asked cautiously.
"More or less. He gave up the Thousand Hands surname and left the Wood Leaf, Rope Tree … Sigh."
Mito Vortex sighed softly.
What would happen to a rope attached to a tree after it left the tree?
Akabane obviously also thought of this. Although there were some problems with this interpretation, it was clear that Tsunade's father still had a lot of feelings for the Thousand Hands. It's just that he gave up the Thousand Hands surname, and now it's very likely that the old lady didn't want him to come back.
Mito Vortex was silent for a long time before she continued, "When Hashirama and Tobirama died, he said that he wanted to come back, but I refused. It's a good thing for a child to leave the family. Even if the Thousand Hands clan died, at least the bloodline would still be passed down outside."
"You're thinking about the family."
Akabane admired her greatly. She sacrificed too much for the family, including refusing to let her child return, but also for the future of the family.
As for the family, he could only put it behind him.
"But … if the Thousand Hands clan really fell, I'm afraid that he wouldn't be able to survive, and being alone outside is likely to be assassinated first."
When the nest is overturned, there will be no eggs intact.
If they had the ability to make a move against the Thousand Hands clan, it wouldn't be difficult to find out the identity of Tsunade's father, especially if Tsunade was still in contact with him.
Mito Vortex was silent for a long time, and finally sighed, "Who knows what will happen in the future."
Me!
Akabane really wanted to say this.
According to the manga, Tsunade was left alone in the end. It was obvious that his parents had died long ago, and Nawaki "triggered a trap" in the war and died. Even his internal organs were not preserved.
Looking at all these factors, Hashirama's direct bloodline was completely cut off.
According to Akabane's personal guess, perhaps it was to cut off Chakra's reincarnation …
Of course, this was only his personal guess.
Without concrete evidence, he didn't dare to reveal these things in front of Mito Vortex, so he could only keep it in his heart. Also, should he change Nawaki's name?
If he immediately drew his child to death as soon as he was born, he was afraid that the crown prince would come back and tear him apart.
Akabane fell into a dilemma.
Mito Vortex didn't talk about Tsunade's parents in depth. Instead, she mentioned Uzumaki Kiyotsuki's situation. She had temporarily resolved the knot in her heart, but it was hard to say what would happen in the future.
Akabane left the Thousand Hands clan.
Mito Vortex was obviously in a bad mood today. It was probably because of Nawaki's birth and name that made her waver and doubt her decision.
From the bottom of her heart, she longed to reunite with her family.
However …
Now that the crown prince had returned, even if he didn't participate in any Wood Leaf wars, he would still cause a lot of trouble.
Because he was Hashirama's son.
Various factors made it difficult for her to make a decision, and these were not things that Akabane, an outsider, could participate in.
Leaving the Thousand Hands clan.
Akabane was still struggling with the problem of Nawaki, but all his worries were gone when he arrived at the manga store.
His clone had already finished drawing Nawaki's plot.
Very good, very powerful.
If he asked to change the draft, the clone would probably explode on the spot, so in order not to increase his workload, Akabane decided not to change it.
He hoped that Tsunade would go easy on him!
Akabane thought of this and couldn't help but feel nervous, and began to think about how to avoid this beating.
Clones were definitely not good.
The Shadow Clone Jutsu's endurance is not good, and it can't take a beating at all. If she finds out that it's a Shadow Clone Jutsu, Tsunade may increase her strength.
Ah!
Akabane sat in the store, sighing and struggling. After a long time, he began to write a report.
Jokes aside, as an A-class ninjutsu, if submitted to the village, it would definitely bring a lot of benefits.
On the other hand …
It wasn't difficult for the Third Generation to learn Rasengan from others with the use of binoculars.
If this report was submitted, he could get a lot of benefits, and on the other hand, it could also clear his name. Rasengan wasn't thought of in such a perverted way, it had a scientific basis and a reason to follow!
The report was very easy to write, and in just a few minutes, Akabane wrote down the principles of Rasengan, and a more reasonable practice method, and integrated it into a report scroll, which he submitted to the Third Generation in the Hokage's office.
The Third Generation didn't say anything about benefits.
However, with the medical class and these ninjutsu, the benefits would definitely be great, and it was likely that they would be distributed together after the front line ninjas returned.
Sho Sho came back yesterday, Tsunade went to visit Nawaki today, and with the sudden increase in ninjas, it was estimated that all the ninjas would return to the Wood Leaf in a day at most.
However …
In the late afternoon, an "uninvited guest" came to Akabane's store.
It was Danzo with his right hand wrapped in gauze.
At this time, his right hand was injured, and his right eye was almost 90% similar to Sandgate's.
Of course, he wasn't that old yet.
"Danzo-sama."
Kuruma Kumuro immediately stood up, and he was a little nervous.
"Don't worry about me, you can continue on your own."
Danzo's tone was very gentle, but he just came back from the battlefield, and it was difficult to hide his murderous aura, and ordinary people like Kuruma Kumuro couldn't resist.
"Sensei, let's go outside and talk."
"Ok."
Danzo glanced at the shelves in the store and fell into deep thought.
After looking for a long time, Akabane came out of the store, and he retracted his gaze and said: "Manga is a good thing, it can dilute the tension, fear, and sadness of the battlefield, I should draw more recently."
He was caught off guard.
Danzo walked a few steps along the path.
After a full minute, he said: "Do you remember the Root Team that I asked you to train?"
"Yes."
Akabane had an impression of those people, although he didn't even know their names, he was very familiar with their Chakra aura.
"They were all good, not afraid of death on the battlefield, and every time they took the initiative to take the most difficult and terrible task, and after counting, none of them came back alive."
Danzo sighed with a heavy heart.
The cruel reality of the illusion gave them a will that was not afraid of death, but it also made them disregard life and death, and become a ninja tool that absolutely put the mission first.
Akabane was stunned for a long time, and then asked: "Do you want me to continue training another group?"
"No."
Danzo's eyes were a little confused.
It was rare to see this emotion in him.
War always needs sacrifice.
Danzo has always believed in this, and he hasn't wavered until now. His heart was heavy, but he felt sorry for the victims.
At least for now, he still had this kind of feeling.
Akabane didn't quite understand what Danzo meant, and his mind was a lot more chaotic than before.
"Where Konoha's leaves dance, the fire will grow and grow endlessly. With the illumination of the fire, there will naturally be shadows and darkness. There will be countless people willing to step into the darkness and silently protect Konoha. It shouldn't be an organization, it should be a great spirit …"
Danzo said very passionately.
In the end, Akabane couldn't tell whether Danzo was convincing others or himself. In short, this time he really dispelled the idea of "Root".
Hearing this, Danzo seemed to have convinced himself.
He paused and said to himself: "Yes, it's true."
"Sensei is right."
Akabane pondered for a long time, and could only squeeze out such a sentence.
