For ninjas, choosing the difficulty of things carefully and rationally is the minimum criterion for judgment.

As a leader, Payne came to the conclusion at this moment: these three years can be used as a buffer to continue collecting Jinchuuriki information. If he gets the assistance and financial support of Mercury Lantern, he can maximize the funds. Development, so...it won't affect your original plan, and you can get better help, so why not?

"Our cooperation so far has been quite pleasant. So, since you want to renew the contract, I have no reason to refuse."

Breaking free from the tedious thinking, Payne finally raised his eyes, stared at the silver-haired girl in front of him and nodded: "I agree."

“Very good~”

This answer made Mercury Lamp's slender brows arch upward in pleasure. She raised her right hand and stretched it out to Payne in front of her: "Then, I wish us a happy cooperation."

Payne also raised his right hand and held the opponent's palm. His tone was still calm: "I agree."

In the small woods not far from here, Kakashi looked at the position of the masked man in disbelief, or rather where the masked man once was. That area had become a sunken cone-shaped pit. , as if the surrounding environment objects also disappeared with the masked man.

Quan walked out from behind Lin with a cold face, and the four-pointed star in her right eye also turned slightly and disappeared, confirming that she was the one who launched the attack just now.

"Those eyes, you are an Uchiha clan..."

Looking at Izumi walking out, Kakashi already felt extremely shocked. He knew the girl in front of him, but he just thought that she was a maid sent by the Hinata group. After all, the Uchiha clan had confirmed that except Itachi and Everyone except Sasuke was dead, but now this one suddenly appeared.

"The mission is completed, is that person the target of death?"

Lin also frowned slightly. She and Quan had never met before, but they confirmed each other's identities with the code provided by the mercury lamp.

"Didn't you watch him die? The power of the Uchiha clan is real. There is no chance that that scum will survive."

Quan's voice contained a hint of disgust and hatred that could not be concealed, and one could even see the sense of pleasure in her eyes.

Yes, she didn't have any psychological burden about killing "Uchiha Madara", and she even felt a sense of revenge.

In Quan's eyes, this so-called 'tribe' is just a traitor like Itachi. Since he and Itachi are in the same organization, this means that not only did he not ask Itachi to repay the blood debt of the clan, but he even accepted this traitor, then... he is also a traitor and deserves to die.

Killing him is just a simple revenge for Quan.

"So...how should I call you? Second sister...?"

Lin's brows frowned slightly. She could feel that from just now, an inexplicable uncomfortable feeling lingered in her heart. It felt like she had made a mistake, with an indescribable feeling. heavy.

"Heh, whatever you want."

Quan also looked back at Lin. She could feel that this strawberry sister who suddenly appeared had a huge chakra reaction, and it was not a rational thing to be against her.

However, she could not accept it easily. The proud blood of the Uchiha clan was flowing in her blood. Now, she only knew that she had completed the agreement with the mercury lamp, so from now on, she should Go do your own thing, train your strength in order to take revenge on Itachi.

Watching Quan's figure disappear into the woods, Kakashi's lips moved a few times, but he still didn't continue to ask. He was willing to believe Lin in front of him, so there was no reason to continue to doubt.

"The mission is accomplished, Kakashi, let's go back."

Nodding slightly to Kakashi, Lin also took the lead to turn around and leave the woods. Kakashi, who stayed behind, took another look at the area where the masked man disappeared, and finally chose to forget about it, and then continued He followed his 'companion'.

On the Hokage Rock in Konoha Village, Sasuke lay here in trance and looked at the sky. This was a rare break for him, and he planned to relax his body and spirit.

Does something seem to go wrong? Or is it that I am wavering about the future?

Inhaling slightly, three rounds of black magatama quickly appeared in Sasuke's eyes, which symbolized the power he currently possesses. Unfortunately, since the last time, he still has no idea how to open the Mangekyo Sharingan. Get started.

Fortunately, it seems that he is not the only one who is depressed.

"Damn it, the lustful Sennin is out traveling, Kakashi-sensei is busy dating that strawberry girl these days, and Hinata is in seclusion alone every day... Hello, Sasuke? Are we being left here? ?”

The voice of Naruto lying on the side was full of dullness, which was enough to show how decadent he was towards this salty life.

"Shut up, Cranetail, don't disturb my rare peace."

Closing his eyes, Sasuke really didn't want to think about anything at this time, because he found that he had to face a choice: whether to make a desperate move and continue to pursue revenge, or to follow the rules and risk everything for the revival of the Uchiha clan. .

If you have nothing, it's easy to risk everything for revenge. But now, having truly felt the burden, Sasuke's smart mind must think about it.

"Ah~ I heard that both Sakura and Ino were accepted as disciples by Grandma Tsunade. She is also a Sannin after all~ What do you think, what if they become more powerful than us?"

But it turns out that it is absolutely impossible to watch the sky quietly with Naruto. Halfway through, Naruto was already holding his head and starting to roll around on the ground whining: " Ahhh! Grandma Tsunade is also a very powerful guy! What if Sakura and Ino really become stronger than us! What will happen to our dignity as men!"

"Tch~ Did your dignity come from beating women?"

At this time, a feeble voice sounded from the stairs next to him. When Naruto looked over instinctively, what he happened to see was Shikamaru's iconic pineapple head, and the other party was obviously not alone. , followed by Choji, Ino, Sakura, Shino and Kiba, and the final ones were Xiao Li, Tenten and Neji.

Generally speaking, except for Hinata, Konoha's twelve strong men have gathered together.

"Hey, hey? Sakura~ You didn't hear anything just now..."

Naruto, who was covered in cold sweat, suddenly fell into an extremely embarrassing posture, and glanced at him angrily. Sakura, who had her hands on her hips, also said mockingly: "I tell you, if you are really compared with us, , you don’t have to call yourself a man anymore, just put on women’s clothes and be a woman~ Ah~ Of course, a strong man like Sasuke will definitely not fall behind~~”

"That's enough. Why are you all here? Did Hinata say you want to gather here?"

Sasuke was not surprised by Sakura's duplicity. He was sure that he had not received any orders today, but now that everyone from the Hinata group had gathered, he had to confirm.

"No~ It's just because we bump into each other once in a while, so we all want to take a walk together... The book says that this is conducive to strengthening relationships."

The tone was like a textbook, obviously Shino's unique voice, while the tooth on one side shrugged slightly: "So, Neji confirmed that you are here, so we came together~"

"Hinata-sama is constantly working on the affairs of the village, so I also hope that we can live in harmony. This may reduce her burden a little."

With his arms folded, Neji's tone and attitude were much more humble. He could even feel the strange aura around him, as invisible but qualitative as water mist. There is no doubt that this is the practice of Nandou Shui Funeral Fist. One of the results was that as a genius who was proficient in Rou Quan, he also had an extremely good understanding of Water Funeral Quan of the same nature, which made Sasuke look at him a little more cautiously.

"Oh~! That's it! So, do you want to run around the Leaf Village ten times together?!"

Xiao Li, who was clenching his fists, waved his fists energetically, but before he could finish his words, he was pushed aside by Tian Tian angrily: "Okay, okay~ It's rare for everyone to get together, so don't mention it again. It’s the kind of thing that makes people sweat just thinking about it.”

"That's it. It's enough for everyone to sit here, chat, and have some fun."

Ino, who was beside Sakura, also spoke with emotion: "After all, we have rarely had the opportunity to get together like this since graduation."

This sentence obviously aroused everyone's emotion, and everyone fell into silence for a moment. As a few leaves fluttered in the wind, everyone's eyes subconsciously looked towards the Konoha Village below the Hokage Rock.

"Ha! But, we are still here! In our village!"

Suddenly, Naruto waved his fist and said these words boldly, which made the other people around him who were startled angry at first, but soon they all turned into understanding smiles.

"Hmph, that's right~ We are here now."

Subconsciously walking forward, Sasuke's eyes also fell on the area below belonging to the Uchiha clan. It can be seen that although there is still a large area of ​​desolation there, some prosperity and popularity have been restored, although now it is only brought by outsiders. prosperity, but Sasuke is already confident that his tribe will be revitalized again.

Perhaps, this is the fate you have chosen.
