Kurosaki Ichigo in Konoha

"So, are you coming to me just for these things?"

Just when Kurosaki Ichigo guessed Danzo's identity, Danzo suddenly raised his head, the previous decadence on his face was wiped away and he looked at Uchiha Mirror and said coldly.

As a member of the Special Intelligence Department, concealing one's emotions is the most basic ability. Just now, Danzo was a little excited when he heard that he was about to be transferred out of the Special Intelligence Department, so he did not hide his emotions. But it was only for a short moment. He immediately calmed down.

"And I think these things should be notified to me by the higher-ups. They are probably not busy enough to rely on you to deliver the message. Maybe you want to come and see how ugly I am."

Danzo's eyes became dark, and he turned into the guy Uchiha Kyou was familiar with.

"of course not."

Uchiha Mirror denied, then took a step back and sat back in his seat.

"I have another news for you."

"what news"

Danzo raised his eyebrows and his tone became indifferent. Of course, this was the tone he always used when communicating with others.

"Nothing," Uchiha Kage shrugged, "Even Sarutobi is about to be transferred out of the Special Intelligence Department. Sensei, he has already decided that Sarutobi will be Princess Tsunade's teacher."

Although Uchiha Mirror did not say the name of the teacher, both Kurosaki Ichigo and Danzo had already guessed that person was Senju Tobirama.

"Sarutobi"

There was a slight change in Danzo's tone, perhaps even he himself was not aware of it.

Ichigo Kurosaki knew that the Sarutobi mentioned by Mirror Uchiha should be Hiruzen Sarutobi, the father of his classmate Azul, and he could hear that Danzo seemed to have something unusual when he mentioned the name of Hiruzen Sarutobi. The concern is a special feeling different from the concern between friends.

"He's going to be transferred out too," Danzo asked, with a hint of joy in his voice.

"That's right," Uchiha Mirror affirmed, "As you know, Sarutobi was seriously injured and needs a period of training, and you also know his character, which is not suitable for the work of the Special Intelligence Department, so Teacher It was decided to transfer him out.”

"Is that so..." Danzo nodded, raising his right hand to rub the X-shaped scar on his chin.

That scar was left when he and Sarutobi were escaping from Kusakure Village. Of course, the person who left that scar had also fallen under Danzo's ruthless kunai.

After a period of recovery, the wound has healed, but when Danzo's hands that were once stained with blood and covered with thick calluses touch the wound slightly, there will still be a faint pain, but he still feels a little pain. Enjoy the pain, because it always wakes him up from whatever emotion is clouding his sanity.

"I think Teacher's purpose is more than that."

Danzo said calmly. As a disciple of Senju Tobirama, he knew that his teacher would not do anything meaningless.

"That's right," Uchiha Kage nodded, "Both you and Sarutobi will become the team teachers. I think this should be a kind of inspection for you by Teacher Tobirama."

Uchiha Mirror paused and continued: "Danzo, I know that surpassing Sarutobi has been your dream all along, so let's give it a try in this regard."

"Ha, that's ridiculous."

Danzo snorted coldly.

Uchiha Mirror didn't care about Danzo's attitude, just shook his head, then stood up and took Kurosaki Ichigo's hand, leading him towards the door.

Danzo had no intention of stopping Uchiha Mirror. After watching the two of them slam the door and leave, he looked up at somewhere on the ceiling, seeming to be thinking about something.

After a long time, Danzo's long sigh sounded in the small room.

"mirror..."

Kurosaki Ichigo was led by Uchiha Kagami out of the courtyard where Danzo lived. It was not until Uchiha Kagami closed the courtyard door that he raised his head and looked at Uchiha Kagami.

"kindness"

The Uchiha mirror lowered his head and looked at Kurosaki Ichigo, with the gentle smile of the past on his face again.

"Why did you bring me here to meet my future teacher?"

Kurosaki Ichigo asked his question. Uchiha Mirror said that he was bringing him to meet Danzo, but in fact he never even introduced himself to Danzo from the beginning to the end.

"Um, this..."

Uchiha Mirror scratched his head and looked like an ordinary young man.

"Actually, I just brought Master Ichigo to see Danzo."

"Look," Kurosaki Ichigo looked at the Uchiha mirror in confusion, "What do you mean?"

"Ah, having said that, let me introduce someone to you first." Uchiha Kaoru smiled and said while holding Kurosaki Ichigo's hand and walking slowly in the direction of the Uchiha clan. , "A man you should have heard of many times."

"who"

Kurosaki Ichigo didn't understand why Uchiha Mirror suddenly wanted to introduce someone to him again, but he still asked cooperatively.

"That man's name is Hiruzen Sarutobi. He is the father of your classmate Azul Sarutobi. I think you should know him."

Uchiha Mirror smiled at the civilians passing by, and then continued.

"I've heard it many times. Isn't it the same Sarutobi you mentioned to Danzo before? He seems to be a very special person."

"That's right," Uchiha Mirror said with certainty, "He is indeed a very special person, as gentle as sunshine, but as stubborn as a monkey, but that stubbornness is not annoying, but rather annoying. One senses his unwavering faith.”

"Hey, why does this description sound so similar to..."

Kurosaki Ichigo couldn't help but speak after listening to Uchiha Mirror's description of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Does he look like the first-sama?" Uchiha Kagami smiled and said the next words for Kurosaki Ichigo, "Yes, even my teacher Senju Tobirama once commented that he looks like the first-sama."

"So," Kurosaki Ichigo asked with a frown, "Sarutobi Hiruzen is very similar to the first generation. What does it have to do with you bringing me to Danzo?"

"And Danzo, don't you think he is a bit like the patriarch?" Uchiha Mirror talked about Uchiha Madara easily in front of Kurosaki Ichigo. It seemed that he was not the one who led the tribe to resist Uchiha Madara before. Saki Ichigo understood that it was because he had a clear conscience for his actions.

"You haven't had much contact with him or don't know much about him, but I have fought side by side with him and regard each other as companions," Uchiha Kagami continued, "So I can feel the similarities between him and the patriarch."

"They are equally cold, they also hide their emotions deeply, and they also regard the First Generation Sir or people who are very similar to the First Generation Sir as their lifelong rivals..."

"But" at this time, the two of them had come to a deserted street. Uchiha Mirror stopped and looked at Kurosaki Ichigo and said, "What they don't know is that the people they regard as their old enemies have only treated them from the beginning to the end. Just treat it as a friend who can trust you with your life."

Ichigo Kurosaki wanted to refute Uchiha Mirror. He was not familiar with Danzo, but he knew Uchiha Madara very well. After several years of getting along, he understood Uchiha Madara's feelings for Senju Hashirama. More like a rival than a friend, Senju Hashirama actually regarded Uchiha Madara as a brother.

"This is what I want to say to you," Uchiha Kagami said, "Don't you think both the clan leader and Danzo are pathetic?"

"Why do you say that?" Kurosaki Ichigo asked blankly.

"They self-righteously regard others as their lifelong rivals, but they don't know that from the day they think this way, they are destined to live in the shadow of the other person for the rest of their lives."

Uchiha Kagami's voice was very soft, with a hint of pity, but every word he said was like a sledgehammer, hitting Kurosaki Ichigo's heart. He bit his lip, seeming to be thinking what.

The Uchiha mirror didn't seem to notice Kurosaki Ichigo and continued: "I saw that Master Ichigo, you seemed to regard Hatake Sakumo as your opponent today, so I brought you here to see Danzo's embarrassment. .”

"Wolf... embarrassed"

Kurosaki Ichigo looked at the Uchiha mirror and asked. Danzo did seem a little excited, but he was embarrassed and didn't know where to start.

"Yes, he is embarrassed." Uchiha Mirror replied, "He seems to be calm now, but his heart is in chaos, because when he came back from Kusanagi Village, Hiruzen was seriously injured trying to cover him, and he When he was questioning whether he was inferior to Hiruzen, he was already in a state of embarrassment, just like when the clan leader was defeated at the hands of the First Lord but was not killed by the First Lord."

"Why are you saying these things to me?"

After hearing Uchiha Mirror's words, Kurosaki Ichigo asked in confusion.

"Because you are the young patriarch of the Uchiha clan, it is my mission to assist you. I don't want you to live in the shadow of others all your life like the patriarch or Danzo."

Uchiha Mirror bowed slightly to Kurosaki Ichigo and said solemnly.

"Heh," Kurosaki Ichigo shook his head, "Am I worthy of you doing this?"

"Of course," Uchiha Mirror replied without the slightest hesitation, "Not only do you have potential that even the patriarch and the first generation of adults can't believe, but more importantly, I believe that you have a vision that goes far beyond the narrow clan. If you lead the Uchiha clan, it will be a great thing not only for the family and Konoha, but also for the entire ninja world."

It was like this again. Kurosaki Ichigo sighed. After getting along with him for a period of time, he had become accustomed to Uchiha Mirror's praise and praise for himself. No matter what he said, he would eventually come back to this topic.

"You think too highly of me, Kagami," Kurosaki Ichigo sighed. He had become accustomed to Uchiha Kagami's admiration for him. He walked towards the Uchiha clan and said, "I am just an ordinary person. That’s all.”

"Master Bu Ichigo," Uchiha Kagami chased after Kurosaki Ichigo and said, "Why are you always unwilling to believe in your potential and quality?"

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Please tell me more about Sarutobi Hiruzen in detail."

Kurosaki Ichigo waved his hand and said.

"Don't change the subject, Master Ichigo..."

Under the setting sun, the shadows of the two people stretched very long, but their figures moved further and further away.
