Ryun Uchiha stood at the village entrance at this moment, enjoying the crowd surrounding him. Unifying this war-torn ninja world that had fought for a thousand years, this achievement was already enough to make him rival the Sage of the Six Paths.
Even Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, the Sage of the Six Paths who was in the Pure Land, opened his sleeping eyes at this moment and looked at the ninja world above. He never expected this outsider could actually accomplish this step.
It really was not easy! Uchiha Ju heard at this moment that the mysterious Hokage had accomplished the most difficult achievement in thousands of years, unifying the ninja world, something almost impossible to do.
She ran out from home. Her father and mother were out handling matters, and the Anbu shinobi dared not startle the snake by hitting the grass, they could only follow behind, protecting her safety.
They all understood. Uchiha Ju did not know the Hokage's true identity. To be precise, she did not know her father was the Konoha Hokage, and Tsunade was the Hokage's wife.
Also because Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi had gone to the battlefield, she was bored alone, so she suddenly became interested, wanting to see who that mysterious Hokage was!
She pushed forward at this moment. The next moment, she didn't know who she bumped into. She cried out "Ouch", then looked up and saw Uchiha Itachi at this moment with a katana on his back, lowering his head to look at Uchiha Ju.
Originally, Uchiha Itachi was curious about who kept pushing through the crowd, heading towards Ryun Uchiha at their center. He never expected it to be her.
Immediately, Uchiha Itachi's face broke into a smile. He bent down and asked, "Is Ju Ju here specifically looking for her brother because she knew her brother was coming home?"
Uchiha Ju, hearing this familiar voice and seeing this handsome appearance, knew this was her brother Itachi!
She immediately wanted to nod, but then shook her head. "Although Ju Ju really misses brother Itachi, this time, it's not for brother Itachi. I want to see what the legendary Hokage looks like this time!"
"What does the person who accomplished this unification achievement, something the Kage of every village for over a hundred years wanted to accomplish but none could achieve, look like!" Uchiha Ju's gaze sharpened.
Although brother Itachi was also very important, at this moment, she was more curious about this great hero who accomplished the unification, who exactly the Hokage was!
Hearing this, Uchiha Itachi was first stunned, then the corners of his mouth lifted. "If that's the case, how about Ju Ju sits on brother Itachi's shoulders to take a look at the Hokage's imposing manner?"
Hearing this made the Anbu behind him freeze. They made eye signals to Uchiha Itachi, indicating he should not do that! The Hokage had not permitted it.
But Uchiha Itachi glanced at them. His Sharingan immediately turned into the Mangekyō, pulling them into Tsukuyomi. For a time, they could not break free.
Uchiha Ju was stunned. She was somewhat tempted at this moment because she knew. The Hokage was right in front at this moment, but the dense crowd ahead made her shrink back.
She couldn't possibly, a weak and delicate young girl, push through the crowd alone to see his imposing manner, could she?
Now Uchiha Itachi was letting her sit on his neck to look. It was truly tempting. But suddenly thinking of something, Uchiha Ju became hesitant.
She was now eight years old, almost nine. She also knew some things about relations between men and women. Usually, having dessert together, drinking milk tea was fine.
But now, letting her sit on Uchiha Itachi's neck made her somewhat shy. She opened her mouth about to refuse, but saw Uchiha Itachi had already crouched down and lowered his head.
This made Uchiha Ju's heart flutter. "What are you waiting for? Ju Ju, come on up quickly!"
Did Itachi not know about the propriety between men and women? He knew. But he did not feel this was excessive. Rather, he felt with Ju Ju, all of this was perfectly reasonable!
Uchiha Ju, as if guided by spirits, nodded. "I'm very heavy! Itachi, brother Itachi must hold me steady!"
Uchiha Itachi said with a smile, "Don't forget, I am a shinobi. And Ju Ju is not heavy at all!" After hearing Uchiha Itachi's words, Uchiha Ju relaxed.
Then, Uchiha Ju walked towards Uchiha Itachi. Finding the right angle, she straddled over. Uchiha Itachi slightly froze, swallowing hard.
His fair, slender hands grasped Uchiha Ju's ankles. He clearly felt the young girl's body tremble, then in an instant become tense and compliant.
Uchiha Itachi took a deep breath, banishing distracting thoughts from his heart, and slowly stood up. Uchiha Ju was nervous, originally worried if she was too heavy, that Uchiha Itachi couldn't get up?
But as her view slowly rose, becoming broad, she forgot her nervousness. Her eyes lit up, looking around.
"Wow! Brother Itachi, I see so many people. They are all shorter than me!" She laughed happily at this moment, completely forgetting her nervousness and previous shyness.
The corners of Uchiha Itachi's mouth lifted. Indeed, a child was a child, so innocent, so pure. He couldn't help but curse himself inwardly, truly a beast.
He had actually had so many improper thoughts just now. He transmitted his voice to Uchiha Ju, "Ju Ju, tell me, where do you want to look?"
Uchiha Ju said with a smile, "To the left! I see many people crowding towards that direction. That must be where the Hokage is!"
Hearing this, Uchiha Itachi turned his body to the left. Uchiha Ju looked in that direction without blinking. Although the Hokage's figure was briefly blocked by the crowd now, she knew in a little while, she would definitely see his true face!
The next moment, the people blocking his figure suddenly moved aside. The Hokage took a smiling step forward. This step also exposed his figure, making Uchiha Ju's originally smiling face freeze.
It was replaced by disbelief. This Hokage was actually her father, Ryun Uchiha!
Perhaps it was the telepathy between father and daughter. Ryun Uchiha suddenly looked up and saw his daughter looking at him. And her current position suggested she was sitting on someone's shoulders!
Ryun Uchiha was also stunned, then frowned. Who was she sitting on! If it was a female shinobi, that was one thing. If it was a male shinobi, Ryun Uchiha narrowed his eyes.
The shinobi who saw his expression quickly made way, creating a path. Uchiha Itachi's movements were a step slower, targeted by Ryun Uchiha's almost murderous gaze!
Uchiha Itachi's mouth twitched. This group of people was simply too disloyal! And their movements were so uniform. Why didn't they make way this quickly when Uchiha Ju was pushing through earlier!
Ryun Uchiha walked towards Uchiha Itachi's direction, expressionless! Uchiha Itachi also didn't know what to do! He also never expected this. In the crowd, Uchiha Fugaku's eyes held an indescribable look. He also never expected his son and Uchiha Ju had such a good relationship!
But looking at his teacher like this, he decisively chose to shut up. He looked at Uchiha Itachi with ambiguous eyes. Uchiha Itachi gritted his teeth. This old man! Completely unreliable!
When Ryun Uchiha walked in front of Uchiha Itachi, he looked at Uchiha Itachi, then looked up at the little girl on his head, and said, "Get down!"
Ryun Uchiha was so angry he gritted his teeth, even his Sharingan turned into the ringed shape of the Mangekyō!
Uchiha Ju bit her lip, then shook her head. "I won't!" As she spoke, she also said, "Brother Itachi, let's go!"
Uchiha Itachi was in a dilemma. One was Ryun Uchiha, one was Uchiha Ju. Both were very important to him. Ryun Uchiha's killing intent was almost materializing!
Uchiha Ju's voice was full of heartache and determination. This voice simultaneously pained Ryun Uchiha and Uchiha Itachi.
Uchiha Itachi could only awkwardly offer a smile. "Ahem, Hokage, Ju Ju doesn't want to deal with you right now. I'll take her to calm down first. I will definitely return her to you safe and sound tonight!"
After saying this, Uchiha Itachi, for the first time in his life, defied his teacher and grandfather's order. Gripping Uchiha Ju's slender calves, he used the Body Flicker Technique to leave the scene.
Uchiha Ju was very disappointed at this moment. She didn't understand why her father hid it from her, why he didn't tell her the truth!
Ryun Uchiha's veins bulged at this moment, his face unfriendly as he looked in the direction Uchiha Itachi left.
Not a single person present dared to make a sound. They could only lower their heads, pretending nothing happened, nothing was seen.
Just as Ryun Uchiha prepared to chase after them, Tsunade suddenly stopped him, shaking her head at him. "This time it's our fault. Let her calm down, husband."
Ryun Uchiha paused, took a deep breath, suppressing his negative emotions. He naturally understood what Tsunade meant. But his concern wasn't that. It was that Uchiha Ju was already so old, yet still didn't know to avoid impropriety!
He smiled. "I know, wife." After saying this, he led the people back to Konoha Village.
After sending Tsunade home, he came to the Hokage's office and started smashing things!
His face full of rage made Uchiha Fugaku and Nara Luming tremble all over. For over ten years, they hadn't seen the Hokage this angry.
Uchiha Fugaku had it worst. Because he was implicated by his son, his mood in the office was extremely apprehensive at this moment.
This kid had made progress with her and didn't even tell his old father. He felt particularly helpless now! However, thinking about Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Ju, Uchiha Fugaku, for some reason, the corners of his mouth inexplicably lifted.
But his expression did not escape Ryun Uchiha's eyes. Ryun Uchiha gave a cold laugh. He patted the table. "Fugaku, what are you smiling about?"
Uchiha Fugaku immediately stopped smiling, looking at Ryun Uchiha with a serious face. "I am smiling because Konoha, under your leadership, unified the ninja world, ending this century of strife. I am smiling for the Hokage's achievement!"
Nara Luming couldn't hold back a snort of laughter. Your son hooked up with his daughter, and you, the father, are here trying to confuse the issue, talking nonsense.
Really interesting. Do you think the Hokage is getting senile? Or do you think your explanation is believable?
Ryun Uchiha snorted coldly at this moment. If Uchiha Fugaku hadn't contributed merit in attacking Kumogakure this time, he would definitely make him suffer a bit right now to relieve the hatred in his heart!
