Chapter 269 I must be alone

The armies of   Iwagakushi and Sandyin continued to harass the border of the Land of Fire.

The only advantage   Konoha has over the other four hidden villages is that the commander is strong enough.

   Under the commander, Konoha, with one enemy and four, faced an extreme shortage of troops.

   If it weren't for the existence of the portal and the medical troops led by Tsunade, the attrition was greatly reduced, and Konoha would now have almost no soldiers available.

   After all, a line of defense cannot be defended by the frontline commander alone.

   Therefore, in the face of the almost continuous increase of troops from the Shikoku, although the direction of the rain country can be reassured for the time being, the crisis in Konoha is still not resolved.

Although    Yahiko wanted to actively seek dialogue and mediation of the war, Iwagakushi and Sagakushi, who had their own thoughts, ignored him at all.

   As long as this powerful force does not help Konoha, they can completely ignore it.

   In this regard, Yahiko has no good way to do it. When the countries are in the upper hand, keeping the war out of the door is already the best result they can do.

  Satoru's current location is Uchiha's defense zone, Nonoyu's border orphanage.

  The three of Ohnogi ran back to Yanyin Village to resist the elite troops led by the three generations of Raikage who came across the sea.

  The defense line of the Grassland, with the help of the mirror image clone of Satoru and the repaired war mech, Hyuga Riza is maintaining the deterrence of the troops of the opposite Iwayin Village.

   At this time, Satoru would not start the battle lightly, that would only increase casualties.

  Everything, just wait for the portal!

  The reason why Satoru came to the orphanage was to see if there were any weird children there.

   "Hmm... five or six years old, amnesia, gray hair, myopia..."

   Looking at the white-haired boy wearing No Naoyu's round-rimmed glasses, who was a little out of tune with the children in the orphanage, Satoru scratched his head.

   "Big Brother Wu, this is a wandering child from the Land of Wind."

  Nonoyu saw that Satoru looked at the child for a while, and smiled and introduced to him:

   "Sandaimu allows the orphanage to take in homeless orphans from the enemy country, but this child can't remember his name and past, so I call him 'Dou'."

   "Ah... he's a good kid, he can already perform simple medical ninjutsu."

  Satoru saw Tou reading a book in the corner earnestly, experimenting with medical ninjutsu from time to time, thinking that it should be a manual of medical ninjutsu or something.

   "Yes, his medical ninjutsu talent is even better than Mute, plus he has amnesia, so I..."

  No Naiyu hesitated to explain, but saw Satoru smiling:

   "It's okay, No Naiyu, it's okay to teach him medical ninjutsu - if it's because of his status as a child of an enemy country, you can rest assured."

   "You gave him all your glasses, which shows that you value him - this kid will become an excellent researcher in the future."

   "A great researcher?"

  No Naoyu covered her mouth in surprise, but she knew what rank Satoru called an "excellent researcher".

   "I thought he was just a genius in medical ninjutsu..."

   "Well, I don't think I can read it wrong, um... leave this to him."

  Satoru thought about it and took out a notebook.

   "Basics of Enchanting".

"this is not……!"

  No Naiyu recognized this notebook. This is Satoru's original creation. At present, only he and Orochimaru have powerful abilities mastered!

   paused, Satoru looked at the surprised Ye Naiyu and smiled slightly:

   "You...you didn't just give him glasses, did you?"

   "...Yes, I adopted him and gave him my last name."

  No Naiyu was silent for a moment, and finally summoned up the courage:

   "Brother Wu, I...I know, for you, I..."

   "Shh..."

   Satoru made a silent gesture and nodded apologetically:

   "Thank you, No Naiyu, then, I'm sorry, I have my own business to do—

   I don’t know what the situation will be and what the end of the road will be.

  The mysteries of the world are too heavy. With one more person, there will be countless uncertainties. I am not sure that I can protect myself, let alone other people.

  Before the peak, I must, alone. "

  "...Well, I understand, I've been enlightened a long time ago...

   Brother Wu, go after your ideals, as long as you watch you go further and further on your own path, I... I am very happy! "

   Tears slid down Ye Naiyu's smiling face, making Satoru's eyes dim for a moment.

   But in just an instant, Satoru's eyes lit up again.

   "If he can read that book, after the war, bring him to me—"

   "Pharmacist pocket, will become my direct disciple."

   "...Thank you, Brother Wu."

  …

  Satoru looked at Uchiha Mikoto's angry look, and couldn't help but wipe his sweat.

   "Go-kun! You are really...really...ah!!"

   "Well...Sister Mikoto, why are you so angry? Captain Fuyue bullied you? I'll beat him!"

"……do not!"

   Seeing Satoru as he was about to leave, Mikoto had no choice but to hold on to him:

   "You bastard, don't let the girls finish talking!

  Nonoyu She...Alas! "

   Looking at Satoru's innocent face, Mikoto felt that there was nowhere to go.

   But thinking of Ye Naiyu's gentle smile that seemed to see through everything, Mikoto felt that she couldn't say anything.

   "You... ah... maybe it's good to be decisive..."

  Mikoto sighed deeply:

   "I was too naive, thinking that a big block of ice like you could still be melted, and I advised No Naiyu not to give up.

  Perhaps it would have been better for her if I persuaded her to give up earlier. "

   "...I'm sorry, Mikoto-san, I have something to do, I don't have time to think about it, I'll ask you to take care of it from Nonoyu's side."

   "Huh, man... give up everything for ideals? What an old-fashioned plot!"

   Mikoto snorted coldly:

   "I can only be thankful that you persisted from the beginning, not to abandon your wife and children."

  “…”

  Satoru could only smile bitterly.

  Mikoto glared at him for a long time, but could only helplessly change the subject:

   "You guys are really... Fuyue wants to find you something, and he didn't even tell me what it was...

  After the last incident, Fuyue seems to have been on his mind, Wu-kun, if you can, can you help him? "

   "Captain Fuyue..."

   Wu pondered for a moment, then nodded:

   "Okay, the portal thing, it's already a water mill, and the preliminary preparations have been completed. You can do it yourself. I'll meet Captain Fuyue."

   "As for help..."

  Satoru smiled helplessly:

   "If he can talk openly and honestly with me, of course there is no problem, but you also know the relationship between the Uchiha clan and the higher-ups, Mikoto-san.

   And unfortunately, my dad was one of the top executives.

   If this layer of identity makes our communication difficult, there is nothing I can do. "

   "...I understand, but Wu-kun, you and your father are different, I still know that."

  Mikoto nodded slightly, sighed softly, and then resumed her usual gentle smile:

   "I hope the war ends soon and I can go back and teach Itachi.

   Speaking of which, I would like to thank Go-kun for your flame civet, Itachi likes it very much. "

   "Hehehe, if you like it..."

  …

   Uchiha Fugaku stepped into the space door in front of him, looking at the unprecedented scenery around him with a shocked expression.

   This is a huge space that makes people feel like they are in the universe.

  The endless starry sky surrounds the perimeter of the space. If it weren't for the boundary like a huge light curtain, Fuyue would not be able to realize how big it is.

   "This is... a private time and space?!"

   This kind of thing that only existed in legend completely stunned him.

  Satoru wants this effect.

   "The private reception room where no one can eavesdrop, Captain Fuyue, are you satisfied?"

   Satoru waved his hand, the sofa and table in the distance flew over, and a service-model humanoid butler stepped forward and served the two of them a magic drink.

   "Captain Fuyue, please take a seat - what's the matter with me?"
