I am Uncle Uchiha

"Hey! You can really say such crazy things!"

Are you not ashamed?

Suigetsu looked at Sasuke blankly and murmured.

Of course, he didn't dare to say the second half of the sentence.

"But." He suddenly laughed wildly again, "Don't just focus on being cool, Sasuke! I also want to participate in such a crazy thing! Anyway, I will help you. Who makes us teammates?"

"And me! Sasuke! I will definitely do my best to help you!" Xiang Lian also expressed his stance eagerly.

She always unconditionally supports whatever decision Sasuke makes.

...Except for the incident between him and Sakura.

"Thank you."

Sasuke nodded to the two of them and looked at Neji standing in front.

"..."

Neji was silent for a moment, and then said to Sasuke awkwardly: "I also want to see if you can realize the big words you said."

"I will do it!"

Sasuke said confidently.

He understood what Neji meant.

(Suigetsu: Only tsundere can understand tsundere!)

"Uncle and Grandpa Madara may be experiencing life and death dangers in a place we don't know about."

Sasuke looked up at the sky surrounded by tree branches in the forest.

There were no stars visible in the clear daytime sky at this moment.

He solemnly said: "Even if I can't go with them, in addition to expecting them to come back with good news, I will also do my part."

……

In a different space named "Li Space" by Uchiha Li.

Uchiha Ri and Madara sat opposite each other on the floor of the wooden house, with a wooden shogi board between them and two steaming cups of tea beside them.

Uchiha picked up the tea and took a sip, then raised his hand to move a chess piece.

"Ah!"

He sneezed suddenly.

"Who is thinking of me?" He rubbed his nose, "Maybe it's fate."

"Ah!"

Immediately afterwards, Madara also sneezed.

It should be that Izuna is thinking about me.he thought to himself.

Recently, Uchiha Li has been living a very leisurely life as he needs to rest and recover his mental and soul energy.

Ban will also exercise his skills every day.

Although for him who has become a heroic spirit, exercising is not necessary.

Apart from eating, sleeping and meditating, Uchiha's daily life consists of figuring out how to pass the time.

"How is your recovery?"

Madara reached out and moved the pieces.

"not bad."

Uchiha took another sip of tea comfortably and stared at the chessboard thinking for a few seconds before taking action.

"How much longer will it take?"

"It will take about five days to recover."

"Very well, let's go after you recover."

"Alright."

"Do you have any concrete plans?"

"I only have a general idea, the details will depend on the situation."

"I hope you can actually do it."

"Don't worry, you'll have to wait and see when the time comes."

"Ah."

……

Earth, the Land of Fire, the Hidden Leaf Village.

Even though the three of them, Zhu, Deer and Die, traveled non-stop all night, by the time they returned to the village, it was already the next morning.

Time was running out and they rushed to the Hokage Building immediately after entering the village after not sleeping all night.

Tuk Tuk Tuk.

Ino jumped ahead of the guards and knocked on the door of the Hokage's office.

"Ino?"

Sakura opened the door and saw her three classmates. As soon as she smiled, Ino pushed her away and rushed into the office.

"Hokage-sama!" Ino said to Tsunade, "We have encountered an emergency and need to report to you!"

"Ino?"

Tsunade raised her head and saw Shikamaru and Choji looking tired behind her as Ino rushed into the office.

"Thank you for your hard work, what happened?" She waved her hand for Sakura to close the door.

"Hokage-sama, this is our mission goal."

Shikamaru stepped forward and pulled out a scroll.

"The 11 rebel ninjas headed by Shimura Ken and Sarutobi Sanju, including 5 rebel ninjas from Konoha, 3 rebel ninjas from Sunagakure, 2 rebel ninjas from Kirigakure, and 1 rebel ninja from Iwagakure."

"You are doing great!"

Tsunade motioned to Shizune beside her to take the scroll containing the rebel ninja's head.

"I didn't expect you to complete the task so quickly. It seems that you have made great progress. By the way, what is the emergency that Ino said?"

"No, Hokage-sama!"

Ino said hurriedly: "We did not complete the mission. We met Sasuke and Neji. These people were killed by Sasuke!"

"Sasuke-kun!" Sakura's expression immediately changed.

Just as Tsunade was about to speak, Ino continued in rapid succession: "Later, Orochimaru's subordinate Kabuto appeared, and he told Sasuke that Orochimaru was preparing to hold a grand event in the capital of the Land of Fire! It will be two days later! He invited Sasuke to attend! Sasuke agreed!"

"What!" Tsunade clenched her fists, "The capital of the Fire Country? What on earth does that guy Orochimaru want to do!"

"Sakura!"

She stood up immediately.

"Go and inform Jiraiya to come over and tell him directly the information reported by Ino!"

"Yes!"

Sakura didn't have time to worry about Sasuke and hurried out the door.

"As for you."

Tsunade looked at the three of them and her face softened a little.

"Thank you for your hard work, you three."

She waved.

"Now, I'll give you the simplest task!" she said, "You are responsible for calling both Shikaku and Asuma!"

"Yes!"

The three of them responded and left the office.

"Damn Orochimaru!"

Tsunade paced back and forth in the office.

"We are short of manpower at this time! If something happens to the capital of the Fire Nation, the entire Fire Nation will be completely in chaos!"

She muttered anxiously, and then said to Shizune: "No, Shizune! Go and count how many jonin are left in the village without going on missions, and give me a detailed list as soon as possible!"

"Yes!"

Shizune hurriedly ran to the side and picked up a stack of documents and started counting.

"Yo! Tsunade!"

Jiraiya suddenly jumped in from the window.

"Jiraiya!" Tsunade looked at him seriously, "I'm afraid I can only rely on you to stop him this time."

"I have long thought that such a day would come."

Jiraiya leaned against the window sill.

"I never understand what Orochimaru is thinking!"

"I don't understand either! I thought... after the Rain Country war, he would always be on our side." Tsunade sat back behind the desk again, holding her forehead with her hands.

Speaking of Orochimaru, a former teammate, the two middle-aged and elderly people sighed in despair.

But Tsunade quickly cheered up.

"Jiraiya, this time..." she said with a cold face, "What Orochimaru did this time is absolutely unforgivable! Not only did he make the whole world a mess! Now he also wants to cause trouble in the capital of the Land of Fire , you...know what to do!"

"what……"

Jiraiya sighed again, raised his head and said solemnly: "I know, this time... I will end things with him."
