Naruto: Fox and Cat

Chapter 269: Uchiha Cemetery

Uchiha are an inherently evil clan and a cursed clan.

In the process of 'understanding love' and 'losing love', this family will awaken powerful power, but they are also more likely to be blinded by hatred or power, and their temperament will change drastically.

Konoha was originally the product of the cooperation between the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan to end the perennial war. Unlike the first generation Hokage Senju Hashirama's trust in the Uchiha clan, the second generation Hokage Senju Tobirama had nothing to do with this perennially hostile clan. I have a good impression, not to mention that there is a dangerous person like Uchiha Madara opposite me.

After Uchiha Madara led the Nine-Tails to attack Konoha, the Second Hokage used this as an excuse to suppress the Uchiha clan. Although they were given the title of Konoha Guards, they were actually not close to the center of power at all. .

When the Third Hokage was in power, the top management of Konoha were basically the students of the Second Hokage --- Danzo (whose power could compete with the Hokage), Shuiyan clan (advisor), Koharu (advisor), etc., under the leadership of Teacher Qian Under the influence of Tobirama, they naturally did not have a good impression of the evil Uchiha clan, and suppressed that clan even more than before.

Especially when the Nine-Tails attacked the village and resulted in the death of the Fourth Hokage, the Uchiha clan did not contribute. (At that time, the Uchiha clan was ordered by Danzo not to stop the tailed beasts. After the nine tails were sealed, Danzo used this as an excuse to rush the entire clan to the edge of the village and isolate them.).

Where there is oppression, there will be resistance,

Not to mention that the Uchiha clan has always been a powerful and proud clan.Moreover, except for Uchiha Madara who started the war at the beginning, everyone else in this clan silently endured for the sake of rare peace and silently obeyed the arrangements of the second and third generation Hokages.

However, their constant forbearance only resulted in the other party's advancement. In the end, they were imprisoned far away from the village like savage beasts.When the unwarranted charges of Kyuubi Time were pinned on their heads, the villagers of Konoha were even more terrified of them.After all, the Kyuubi can only be summoned by the Sharingan. At that time, no one knew that the mastermind behind that incident was Uchiha Obito.

When they learned that the Uchiha clan was preparing to rebel, senior advisors and Danzo planned a plan to eliminate the Uchiha clan, preparing to completely wipe the Uchiha clan from Konoha.

The only regret was that Sasuke Uchiha was left alive at that time.

And because of Itachi's threat, they didn't dare to do anything to Sasuke, even when he left the village and defected to Orochimaru.But after hearing that Itachi Uchiha was 'dead', Danzo treated Sasuke as a wanted traitor as a ninja as soon as he took office, and he was still an S-class one.

Fortunately, the past history has now made up for it a little bit, but although most people did not say it explicitly, they still felt afraid of the name Uchiha Itachi. After all, no matter what the reason, this man still wiped out the Uchiha clan with his own hands.Of course, for most people, Uchiha Itachi died after the war, so there is no need to worry.

As for Uchiha Sasuke, the only remaining descendant of the Uchiha clan, everyone loves him very much.After all, the only time that child went out of line was when he was young and ignorant and went to seek refuge with Orochimaru. However, after he went to Orochimaru, he disappeared without causing any trouble.What's more, the snake didn't look like a good person at first glance. He must have been the one who abducted the young and innocent child.

Especially when Naruto left the village, Uchiha Sasuke also stayed in Konoha to help. Although his attitude was still arrogant and cold, he completed the tasks well and would try his best to agree to any request that was not excessive.

However, the above are just appearances that ordinary people see.

For Konoha's top brass, especially those who personally planned the Uchiha genocide, they all knew that Uchiha Itachi was still alive, and even entered the ANBU with the tacit approval of the current Hokage Kakashi.Of course, they tried their best to stop this, but the sixth generation Hokage just smiled and said that Uchiha Itachi was dead, and he just sent a promising junior to the Anbu for training.

As a result, the promising junior put the messy ANBU in order in just one month, and even kindly asked some ANBU members to show their loyalty to the current Hokage again.

Those were the members who used to belong to the 'Root' and were now consultant spies. The kind-hearted junior chopped off everything they could with their hands that crossed the line, secretly reducing their rights.The most frustrating thing was that they could not report to the current Hokage that the man had instigated the rebellion of the spy they had placed in the ANBU. Once they said this, it would prove that they had second thoughts about the Hokage, and they might even step down because of it.

Although they are still on the high-level advisory group, they no longer have much power. What's more, even if they still have power, they still dare not act rashly.

Just because Itachi Uchiha is still alive.

Just because they no longer have the ability to control the current Uchiha Itachi.And that man was only twelve or thirteen years old at the time, and he had already seen through everything.

After all, Uchiha Itachi is still an Uchiha.He is an extremely contradictory Uchiha. He can be extremely gentle and kind-hearted, and he can also be extremely cruel, cold-blooded, and decisive in killing.

When Konoha doesn't take action against Uchiha Sasuke, of course they can live in peace.But when Danzo took office, he labeled Sasuke a traitorous ninja and ordered him to be hunted down, which successfully tipped the scales in his heart.

For various reasons, Konoha's political team maintains a happy appearance. The top management seems to have no idea that Uchiha Itachi is still alive. The compensation to the Uchiha clan is also very generous, including the construction of a mansion. , repairing the old Uchiha house, allowing Sasuke to take the Jonin exam, recognizing Sasuke's performance in the four battles and making him a great hero on par with Naruto, etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., all made everyone feel that the Uchiha incident ended here. illusion.

However, there is always calm before the storm, because an illusion is still an illusion after all.

..........................................................................................

The Uchiha clan has a large territory. In addition to the main house where the clan lives, there are also some houses where separate families live.

Naturally, there was no one in sight in the empty house. When I stepped in, I only felt a chilling coldness. It was not just the coldness of the outer temperature, but the chill emanating from deep inside.

In the evening, although there were still some warm rays of the sunset falling on the place where corpses once lay on the ground, it still could not dispel the gloominess as if the ground was full of dead souls.

Sakura Luofeng walked in front holding a large bouquet of white chrysanthemums. Her long snow-white hair and moon-white kimono were dyed pale yellow by the setting sun.She didn't seem to feel the gloominess, as if this was just an ordinary no-man's land.

This is the first time for Naruto to come here. Although he grew up in Konoha, he has never been to the Uchiha clan's territory, because it was forbidden for people to approach before the clan was exterminated, and it became a ghost house after the clan was exterminated. No one dared to come over.

Although the surrounding houses have been repaired, they are only left with a lifeless and gloomy look that has been unoccupied for more than ten years.

Always feeling like there were countless wronged souls in those houses staring at him, Naruto shuddered and quickly followed Sakura Luofeng in front of him.

The new cemetery of the Uchiha clan was built on an original open space. Over a hundred commemorative monuments were lined up in more than a dozen rows, neatly bathed in the faint sunshine.It may have been a long time since anyone came here. The ankle-high weeds have turned yellow with autumn, and no one has ever come to lay flowers or visit the grave.

"!!" Looking at the tombstones everywhere, Naruto's pupils shrank, and the coldness radiating from his heart made him freeze in place.

At that time, he didn't feel much when listening to other people's rumors, but now he had a definite feeling after seeing the large number of tombstones with his own eyes.

Were all the people here killed by Itachi Uchiha?Including his parents?Why...why can you even attack your own parents...

Ying Luofeng just passed by silently from the first row, placing a white chrysanthemum blooming quietly in front of each commemorative monument.Names she had never seen before appeared in her field of vision, and then left her field of vision accompanied by white chrysanthemums.

The hand holding a white chrysanthemum paused, and Ying Luofeng, who was bending down to put the flower down, stopped. She quietly looked at the name on the memorial monument in front of her, and then looked at the comforter next door who had not yet arrived. Unsurprisingly, I also saw a familiar name on the memorial tablets, and there were only traces of someone visiting these two memorial tablets.

Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Mikoto.

"These two adults are Itachi and Sasuke's parents." Ying Luofeng introduced calmly, put down the flowers and continued walking to the next tombstone.

Naruto was still standing outside the cemetery, his lips trembling for a while before he asked, "Why... Brother Itachi can..."

"You don't know the whole picture, and you won't judge. You can speak well and do things well." Ying Luofeng answered the question. She turned a white chrysanthemum in her hand for a while and then suddenly turned her head to look at Naruto, with a gentle smile in the gradually darkening light. It sounded strange, "Naruto, did you know? After escaping from the Kingdom of Water, after our clan settled down, all the branch clans and ninjas who betrayed the clan were given to Orochimaru for dissection and study."

The snow-white chrysanthemum was gently turning, and she was placed in front of a stranger's tombstone in her calm and smiling words, "Pull them out one by one, even the children. Those who cannot be taken away, Just kill him. If he takes it away, it will be given to Orochimaru as a gift of cooperation. In order to keep the most important person alive, we can sacrifice everything, including ourselves. To a certain extent, Itachi is very similar to us~ "

"..." Naruto stared at her leisurely movements, but didn't know what to say.To be honest, as an orphan since he was a child, he really couldn't understand the way each family chose.

In order to protect themselves, the Sakura Fall clan chose to go to war with Kirigakure Village, and finally escaped from Kirigakure Village and established themselves as kings. By the way, they also annihilated those who had betrayed them.

Itachi Uchiha chose to wipe out the entire clan for the sake of the peace of the village and the life of his younger brother. In the end, only the descendants were left who were eager to be eradicated by the top management of Konoha.

Why can't we sit down and talk and find another way to live in peace?

"But I won't think too much about problems that are too complicated. Konoha and the Uchiha clan have their own problems in this matter. If you want to clarify the reasons for this kind of thing, it will be unsolvable.", Ying Luofeng was very calm. There was no point in looking into the past. "Everyone is satisfied with the status quo, so just maintain this peace."

"How did Sasuke accept all this..." Naruto now felt his mind getting more and more confused, and even looked at the people standing among the countless tombstones in the distance with disbelief, "Wind, what on earth were you doing at that time? What did you say to make Sasuke and Itachi reconcile?"

Ying Luofeng stood at the last tombstone, looking at the last white chrysanthemum in her hand. She squinted her eyes for a while and then said in a daze, "Who knows, I have forgotten it."

Naruto looked at her blankly, then just took a deep breath and relaxed.

Yes, no matter what happened in the past, if the present is good and the future will be good, then that’s good.

The last white chrysanthemum spinning in her hand suddenly stopped. Ying Luofeng lowered her head to look at the flower in her hand, her face suddenly turned pale, and the hand holding the flower branch suddenly turned white with force, "I am... the biggest now." Weakness...]

Naruto, who was walking over, also keenly sensed that something was wrong with her. When he quickly dodged over, he saw that she had already bent over and put the flowers away with a normal expression on her face. He stretched out his hand to help her stand steady and then asked worriedly, "Wind, What happened to you just now?"

"Don't worry, it's just dizziness as before." Ying Luofeng rubbed her brows, her face looking much paler than before.As if feeling the coolness of the weather, she leaned a little closer to Naruto, then looked up at the dark sky and asked, "It's really peaceful now. Does Naruto like Konoha like this?"

Although he didn't know why she asked, Naruto nodded firmly and said with a bright and confident smile, "Well! No matter it is the Konoha of the past, the Konoha of the present, or the more peaceful Konoha of the future, I will I like it so much! Because I am Uzumaki Naruto of Konoha, I will definitely become the Hokage!"

Ying Luofeng turned her head to look at his bright and cheerful smile, and the next second she looked away as if she had been stabbed by the scorching sunshine. She smiled and continued, "Well, I have never doubted this. I also I believe that Naruto will inherit the will of fire and protect Konoha at all costs."

Naruto tilted his head, always feeling that these words were a bit strange, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

After holding her cold right hand, Naruto felt a little more at ease. He looked down at her pale profile. Naruto just held her hand silently. His originally gentle blue eyes were a little unclear. [Also It doesn’t matter if you think I’m the innocent kid I used to be, as long as you stay with me. ]

After a while, a faint sound sounded, and then they saw Sasuke jump down from the sky. When he was almost close to the ground, he used Susanoo to buffer him and then stood outside the cemetery.

After nodding to greet the two people standing there, Sasuke was not surprised by the flowers in front of each tombstone. He just placed the two bouquets of flowers he brought in front of his parents' graves, and then looked at Sakura Luofeng, " Thanks."

Ying Luofeng just smiled and then asked, "Sasuke, have you completed all the tasks at hand?"

"Yes. There are no other tasks for the time being." Sasuke nodded and suddenly frowned slightly after looking at her expression, but he didn't say anything.

"Then you can have a good rest." Ying Luofeng just smiled gently, walked over and patted his shoulder, "Thank you for your hard work, Naruto and I will go back first~"

"???", Naruto was confused from beginning to end, but he also knew that he couldn't say anything at this time, so he could only wave to Sasuke who was standing there, "Sasuke, you want to go home quickly."

"Yes." Sasuke nodded and watched them leave before looking down at the two tombstones in front of him. He closed his eyes and mourned for a while before taking out a piece of paper from his collar and silently reading the words on it. Just burn it, then turn around and leave.

..........................................................................................

When he returned to the Wind House, it was getting late. After finishing dinner on the way, Naruto sent Sakura Luofeng back to the Wind House.

Perhaps the previous comfort had worked, and he was now able to rest assured that she could take care of herself by herself, so he went back to his house at night to continue tidying up.

After watching the lights on the third floor turn on, Naruto smiled and counted the seconds in his heart. At the third second, he saw the curtains being opened as he wished, and watched her open the window and smile at him.

"Good night then, Feng~" Naruto waved to her happily, and then walked back step by step.

Ying Luofeng just waved her hands with her face raised, and after looking at him for a while, she suddenly called out to him. "Hey, Naruto. Can you stay here today? I feel like I'm going to have nightmares today..."

"Stay here, stay???" Naruto, who was confused for a moment, widened his eyes and his face turned red instantly.

"Don't think too much! You sleep on the floor like before!" Yingluofeng puffed up her face and slammed the window shut and drew the curtains.

"That's OK!! Yo ho!!", the golden-haired fox who was instantly happy postponed his plan to clean up the house again and ran back happily.

Ying Luofeng leaned against the curtains and listened to his voice. She shook her head in amusement, then opened the curtains a little, and looked at the dark house in the distance through the gap.

Although she couldn't avoid what was coming, at least let her rest for a night.

..........................................................................................

At the corner of the street, which was so silent that not many sounds could be heard, and where it was too dark to see clearly where the support was, there was a faint conversation:

"It still won't work today, Uzumaki Naruto is staying the night."

"Then we can only wait and see what happens."
