"Hero?", Uchiha Itachi murmured that word quietly.
"That's right. No matter which village, which country, heroes who protect the people, protect the village, protect the country, those are the ones most easily accepted and recognized by others."
"If the Uchiha beco heroes who protect the village, do you think the villagers would still exclude those who protect them? Even if there are villains who oppose you, the masses of the people will choose to support you."
Aoba explained patiently.
"But… there will be people who tarnish heroes."
Uchiha Itachi lowered his eyes, thinking of that guy, Shimura Danzo.
'Shisui used to be a hero on the battlefield too…'
"Then you'll have to solve it yourselves," Aoba could only offer a relatively feasible plan, after all.
As for the specific results, it would still depend on the actual performance of the Uchiha.
Uchiha Itachi also temporarily set aside this issue.
"Then how can the Uchiha beco heroes? After all, there's no war in the ninja world right now."
"There are many opportunities to beco a hero. The key is whether you can grasp them," Aoba thought of another ungrateful wolf from the Uchiha, but he couldn't say it out loud, it was hard to explain the source of the information.
"...", Uchiha Itachi also fell silent, lowering his head in thought.
'Maybe… I can go find the Third Hokage and discuss it.'
'If the Third Hokage truly wants to ease the conflict between the village and the Uchiha…'
'He will surely try to co up with a plan together with .'
"Aoba, I truly thank you!", Uchiha Itachi bowed at a ninety-degree angle to Aoba.
"If only I had co to you earlier…"
"I was just speaking casually, after all. As for how to solve it, that's up to you guys. I should head back," Aoba waved his hand, then walked past the other party, heading toward the Senju clan residence.
This ti, Uchiha Itachi did not stop him.
After walking for a while, Aoba suddenly stopped again. He turned around, Uchiha Itachi in the rain had already put his mask back on.
Uchiha Itachi also noticed Aoba's gaze and looked over.
"Uchiha Itachi, with your mask on, I don't know what you're thinking. But the rain today is pretty heavy. Getting soaked isn't good for your health."
"So much pressure, huh~", Cosplaying Kisa for a mont, Aoba turned around and left without looking back. [T/N: It's a Chinese , I will give it in the paragraph comnt. Remind ]
Uchiha Itachi silently watched until Aoba's figure disappeared completely.
He hesitated slightly, then used Body Flicker Technique and vanished from the spot.
———
In the forest, Uchiha Itachi arrived again at the Naka River, this was where Uchiha Shisui had died.
"Shisui…"
"Uchiha Itachi, are you feeling despair now?", A voice suddenly sounded from behind Uchiha Itachi.
As soon as he heard the voice, he instantly reacted. A kunai appeared in his hand.
He quickly turned around, and the kunai was thrown toward the source of the sound.
The kunai cut through the air and instantly pierced into the person's body.
But unexpectedly, the kunai passed directly through the body and embedded into the tree trunk behind.
Not a drop of blood was drawn.
That person wore an orange tiger-striped mask. Upon seeing who it was, Uchiha Itachi halted his actions.
"It's you!"
———
Aoba quickly arrived at Tsunade's front door.
After chatting so much with Uchiha Itachi, he wasn't sure how effective it had been.
After all, Uchiha who've awakened Mangekyo Sharingan are all extremists.
But judging by Uchiha Itachi's appearance just now, he probably listened a little, at least.
"Hmm?"
Standing under the eaves, Aoba saw an umbrella placed by the door.
"Is there a guest?"
He didn't use the key to open the door, but chose to knock.
"Don't you have a key?"
Opening the door, Tsunade looked at Aoba with so confusion.
"Uh… well, I saw there was a guest," Aoba pointed at the umbrella outside the door.
"You've got quite the little sches," Tsunade rolled her eyes at him, then carefully looked him over, "You're not hurt, right?"
"Hmm?", Aoba was montarily stunned. Then he realized, during the conversation with Uchiha Itachi earlier, he probably fell into Tsunade's sensory perception.
Yet Uchiha Itachi still had that confident look like no one could notice him.
"No, he just chatted with for a bit."
"That's good. Co on in first!"
Aoba followed Tsunade into the house.
Upon entering, he more or less understood why Uchiha Itachi had suddenly shown up at his doorstep.
Probably to wait for his mom…
Uchiha Mikoto was sitting on the sofa in the living room, wearing a dark blue dress, with long black hair, radiating a gentle aura from head to toe.
Noticing Aoba's gaze, Uchiha Mikoto stood up and gave him a smile, "You must be Aoba. I've often heard Sasuke ntion you."
"I'm Sasuke's mother, Uchiha Mikoto. You can just call Aunt Mikoto."
"Aunt Mikoto," Aoba greeted politely.
Uchiha Mikoto kept smiling, then gave a slight bow, "Thank you so much for being willing to be friends with Sasuke. That child has a bit of a prickly personality, but in his heart, he's truly happy to be friends with you all."
"Aunt Mikoto, you're too kind. That's exactly why we wanted to be friends with Sasuke," Aoba responded with a smile.
"Then I'll have to trouble Aoba to look after Sasuke more in the future," After exchanging a few polite words with Aoba, Uchiha Mikoto looked at Tsunade, "Lady Tsunade, sorry for the sudden visit today. I'll take my leave for now and visit again next ti."
"Mm," Tsunade nodded with a complicated expression.
Before leaving, Uchiha Mikoto said one last thing, "Lady Tsunade, please reconsider the proposal I just made."
As soon as Uchiha Mikoto left, Tsunade flopped down onto the sofa, completely drained.
She looked absolutely exhausted, like her battery had run out.
Aoba didn't ask any questions, he could already guess roughly what it was about.
He walked to Tsunade's side and pulled out a tulip he had prepared from his coat.
"Sensei."
"Flowers?", Tsunade looked at Aoba with so surprise.
Aoba smiled, "For you."
Tsunade's expression instantly turned teasing, "No wonder you took so long to co back after delivering dicine. Co on, how many people did you give this flower to?"
"Hehe," Aoba didn't answer, just shoved the flower into her hands and ran upstairs, "I'm going to check on Sakura."
"You brat!", Tsunade couldn't help but laugh and scold. She brought the flower to her nose and gave it a sniff.
'Slls pretty good.'
