The Uchiha Orphan's Survival Guide [Naruto]

Two weeks later, the bridge leading to courage and hope was finally completed and named Naruto Bridge. Everyone finally completed their mission and returned to Konoha. As soon as they stepped into the gate of Konoha, Anri was ranked first by Hayato and Yui. Team 9 pulled away in the name of celebrating the successful completion of the mission, leaving Yamato alone and messy in the wind.

"Hey, you guys didn't even bring a teacher with you to your celebration..." Yamato twitched the corner of his mouth.

However, the two of them did not take Anri to the barbecue restaurant they agreed to, but to a remote forest.

"Let's explain about your eyes." The two men held their chests and said angrily. "The Sharingan is the bloodline limit of the Uchiha clan, right? Why do you have it?"

"Ah, this..." Anri pointed to her eyes, "Of course because my surname is Uchiha."

"But wasn't the Uchiha clan five years ago..." Yui said, "Were all of them killed..."

Xingli was startled when she heard this, and then smiled gently: "Thanks to my parents and brother, I am lucky enough to survive."

His eyes were dark and unclear.

"Sorry..." Knowing that she was being rude, Yui pinched her fingers awkwardly, "In that case, why should you remain anonymous and not tell the village about this? It would be easier to live as an Uchiha orphan than as an unknown orphan. "

"That's true..." Anri sighed, "But if I reveal my identity, will Itachi Uchiha come and kill me?"

"Although I don't know why, Sasuke was deliberately let go by him. I was not. If he who massacred the entire Uchiha clan knew my identity, he would think that I was just an insect worth mentioning. Either he will ignore me and let me go gently, or he will definitely complete his plan to kill me, who can say for sure?"

"My life was obtained at the expense of the lives of my father, mother, and brother, so I absolutely cannot die. It doesn't matter if I lose my surname, it doesn't matter if I lose my name. It doesn't matter if I can only live an ignoble existence and live a hard life. It doesn't matter anything. , I must live until I send my enemy to hell with my own hands - to complete my revenge!"

She looked excited, with a mocking smile on her face, raised her right hand and raised her fist to hit the boulder beside her. The boulder was smashed into a deep pit. Anri's hand was pricked by the flying gravel, and blood slowly flowed down her fingertips. shed.

The pain in her right hand brought her back to reality. She suddenly realized that she was a little out of control emotionally, so she forced out an apologetic smile and said: "Sorry, I was rude for not controlling my emotions. Thank you very much for helping me keep the secret, but I I’m a little tired, so I won’t go to the celebration party or anything like that.”

"I'm sorry." She bowed to the two of them, turned around and was about to leave, but was suddenly grabbed by the wrist.

"That's not okay." Hayato tilted his head and showed a bright smile, "If you hadn't defeated the enemy, Yui and I would have been dead. You are the biggest contributor to this mission, how can you miss the celebration party?"

"Let's go, let's go together. It's hard to reserve a location for a barbecue restaurant. I managed to get one with great difficulty." He forced Anri's hand and walked towards the brightly lit commercial street.

"Let's go, I'm treating you today." Yui quickly followed and put her arm around Anri's shoulders.

"Okay! I'm going to have a big meal today!" Hayato cheered.

The three of them walked further and further away noisily.

In the next few months, although the three of them would have arguments from time to time, they always supported each other, went through many ridiculous disasters for Yamato to clean up the mess, and completed one task after another in a hurry. In their tortuous journey Throughout my life, this period of time has always been as bright as gold.

One morning, Anri arrived at the meeting point as usual, but only saw Yui and Hayato.

"Where's Mr. Yamato?" she asked, scratching her head.

"Obon Festival is coming soon, and there is a festival in the village. Teacher Yamato has been called to help with security." Hayato said.

Anri nodded: "That's right, shall we disband immediately?" She yawned and prepared to go home and take a nap.

"Hey, don't worry." Hayato grabbed Anri and took out a scroll, "Dangdang, we have accepted a mission!"

"Why do you still have to create a mission when there are no missions during the big holiday?" Anri muttered, "And that looks like a D-level mission scroll! Are you so happy?"

"This is a mission issued by Sasuke." Yui said.

Anri's eyes suddenly widened and she was stunned, holding her breath——

"Team 7 went on a mission and couldn't come back, so Sasuke issued the mission." Yui smiled softly, "I hope someone can clean the clan tomb for him and pay homage to the clan."

"Today is the 12th, and the 13th is the welcome day. We must hurry up." Hayato said.

Anri's eyes were red, she lowered her head and whispered "thank you".

"Speaking of which, do you, the Uchiha clan, have any special customs?" Yui asked, "I made a list based on the Hyuga family's Bon Festival ritual process. Take a look and see if there are any differences that need to be changed."

Anri took the list handed over by Yui, glanced through it quickly, and then nodded: "Actually, I can't remember exactly what Uchiha's special customs are, but the ritual procedures of the big clans in Konoha are pretty much the same. Just follow this process, but I remember that after bidding farewell to the dead, everyone will go to Minamigagawa Shrine to worship the Uchiha God."

Yui nodded: "Then add the point of going to Nanga River Shrine to worship."

"It's okay that I'm an orphan. Yui, is it okay for you not to celebrate Obon with your family?" Hayato suddenly asked. "Besides, the Hyuga clan is a famous family, so they will hold grand sacrificial ceremonies. Is it really okay for you not to attend?"

Yui examined the list carefully and replied without raising her eyes: "Anyway, I'm just an insignificant second daughter of the branch family. It doesn't matter if I go or not, no one will care. I'm too lazy to listen to the clan members' speeches at the ceremony. Talk about broad.”

"I told my brother about the mission, and he said he would help me talk to the clan." She paused and added, "My brother and I usually pay homage to our father privately after the Hinata family's festival is completed. , the two of us have made all the preparations we need to do in the past two days. After I complete the mission and return, I just need to worship my father with my brother."

She confirmed the process written on the list, and seemed to have remembered something. She suddenly raised her head and frowned: "But when I told my brother this morning that the task was to help Sasuke clean the clan tombs and pay homage to the clan members, his expression changed. It seems a little strange, he seems hesitant to speak...but since he agreed to let me come out, there should be no problem."

Hayato and Anri twitched their lips when they heard this, and couldn't help laughing.

Yui looked confused and asked, "Why are you laughing?"

The two turned their heads and tried to hold back their smiles, waving their hands and saying, "No...it's nothing..."

Yui sighed helplessly, stuffed a broom into Anri and Hayato's hands, "Let's go, clean the clan tomb first." After that, he pulled the two of them towards the Uchiha clan.

When we arrived at the Uchiha clan's land, we saw that there was still a seal hanging on the door. I couldn't tell if I forgot to remove it or something. In the first few months after the annihilation of the clan, there were many ANBU guards here. However, as time went by, they gradually disappeared. This place is already remote, and such tragic murders have occurred, so no one dares to approach it. The once lively and prosperous Uchiha clan has now become a deserted and dead place.

The three of them nimbly passed through the seal, and what they saw was a dilapidated scene. The window lattice of all the houses was covered with thick dust, the walls were covered with moss, and even the tiles were corroded into disgrace. There was a rustling sound coming from the darkness, as if a mouse was crawling across.

Anri stared at everything in front of her for a long time, and there seemed to be thousands of confusing thoughts in her mind, but in the end, there was only a blank blankness left.

"Anri?" Hayato called out worriedly when he saw that Anri's expression was not right.

Anri pointed at a dilapidated house and said in a very dry voice: "That house was originally a pancake shop, run by Uncle Teiyaki and his wife. The uncle's wife is very kind. I When I was a kid, I would always pester her to add more fillings when I came to buy pancakes, and she never refused.”

She led the two of them deeper and deeper, introducing them as they walked.

"That house used to be a wine shop. The proprietress was a woman who married from a foreigner. Later, her husband died on the battlefield, and she has been living here as a widow, raising a son and a daughter. Her wine is very delicious, and she drinks it every day. There is an endless stream of people coming to her shop to buy drinks, and my father used to send me to buy drinks."

"There lived a couple who were not very harmonious in that house. They had a daughter about the same age as me. I used to play with her when I was a child. I remember her smile was very sweet and she had two cute dimples at the corners of her mouth. .”

She walked to a ruins and stood there, showing a light and sad smile.

She pointed to the ruins and said: "That's my home. My father is a skilled tailor. My mother quit her job as a ninja very early. She has been in poor health over the years. My brother is a member of the police force. An ordinary little player, but he is very proud of it..."

"I didn't want to become a ninja when I was a child. Although I was born into a powerful ninja clan like Uchiha, my parents understood and supported my choice. After hearing this, my brother just touched my head and said, 'It doesn't matter if you don't want to become a ninja. Brother will become a powerful ninja and protect you for the rest of your life.'"

"Liar..." Anri lowered her head and cursed softly, then silently left with Yui and Hayato.

Finally arriving at the family tomb, Anri looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar names engraved on the tombstone one after another, and murmured: "Uncle Teyaki, Aunt Japonica, Aunt Hongmei, Sister Natsuko, father, mother, brother...it turns out... You have all been gone for so long..."

It turns out that I have been away for so long...
