Chapter 70: Farewell

Chapter 70: Farewell

Konoha.

Night.

The silvery moonlight sprinkled on Konoha lighting up the whole village.

The flow of the people didn't decrease as the streets were filled with families out for fun.

______________

Ichiraku Ramen.

"Thanks for the food"

Both Shisui and Itachi clasped their hands in front as they started digging in the ramen.

"Shisui, what is the village to you?"

Kozuki who sat beside them asked him since he wanted to know whether he was completely brainwashed or was there a hope for recovery.

"Sensei, to me village is a family that I need to protect no matter what happens"

Shisui answered honestly though a bit surprised why Kozuki would ask such a question suddenly.

"Then, for the village can you kill your comrades or even your own family"

Kozuki didn't look at him as he kept his head down eating the ramen.

"This..."

Shisui was speechless as no matter how he tried to answer but words were stuck in his mouth.

"There is no need for you to answer it now"

Kozuki stopped him from thinking too much and motioned him to eat.

Kozuki hoped that under his guidance, the naive Shisui could be able to correct his thoughts.

Shisui started eating once again but his eyes were a bit lost obviously thinking of his question.

"Kozuki"

Kozuki heard the voice from behind and saw Kurenai with Shizune and a Blonde hair women looking at him.

Due to Kozuki becoming a Jonin, he didn't need to perform tasks with his squad and with his strength he was completely free to do whatever he wants.

"It's an honour to meet you, Lady Tsunade"

Both Shisui and Itachi stood up and introduced themselves, bowing slightly.

Tsunade was surprised by their polite manners as in her memory Uchiha were all arrogant but these two kids were completely different.

"Kid, I think you already know and I don't need to say this, that taking students from Uchiha could cause you trouble"

Tsunade knew about her teacher that he would immediately become suspicious of Kozuki when he knows that he took students from Uchiha.

"Haha, there's nothing to worry Lady Tsunade, since I accepted them as my students I naturally am confident to deal with any trouble"

How could Kozuki not understand what she was talking about, but with his strength he wasn't afraid of anyone in the village.

Tsunade shrugged her shoulders and didn't say anymore as she started to eat the ramen in front.

"Kozuki I wanted to tell you something"

Kurenai who sat beside Tsunade suddenly spoke looking at him.

"What's the matter?" asked Kozuki

"Lady Tsunade is going to leave the village tomorrow, Me and Shizune are going along with her"

Kurenai was a bit sad since she was going to separate from Kozuki but she had to go with her to attain enough strength to fight side by side with him in the future.

"No need to be so sad, I will always come to meet you when I have time"

Kozuki saw her sad and stood up arriving near her patting her head.

Kozuki was actually happy that she was going with Tsunade.

Not only will she become stronger under her guidance but also with Tsunade her safety was guaranteed.

Even if she has fear of blood, Tsunade wasn't so powerless that anyone could kill her.

"Then it's a promise"

Kurenai immediately became happy hearing his words.

"It's a promise"

Kozuki nodded assuring Kurenai.

After eating, Kozuki said goodbye to everyone but he didn't know that many people in the village who recognized him has already seen him with the Uchiha and rumors started brewing.
