Chapter 233：

Quan's face turned slightly red: "Senior...Senior, you are here too."

Natsuki was very satisfied with Quan's title.

This little girl is quite obedient.

"Come in." Xia Mu called Quan in.

Although Natsuki was beside him, Izumi felt a little nervous.

But seeing Itachi lying on the bed, Izumi couldn't help but look worried.

"Itachi, how are you?"

There was no smile on Itachi's face, but his eyes were full of tenderness as he looked at Quan: "I was only slightly injured, why are you here?"

Quan shook his head:

"I was eating at the snack street. News has spread that you are blind and need Orochimaru to treat it."

Itachi turned his head to look at Natsuki, who actually laughed dumbly.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he "subdued" on the front foot, the Third Hokage immediately began to publicize his back foot.

After all, Orochimaru is now from Konoha. If Itachi wants Orochimaru to help treat his eyes.

It is to release a signal that Uchiha and Konoha are reconciled.

The third generation simply did not want to conflict with Uchiha during this period of time.

Coincidentally, Natsuki didn't want to either.

"There is indeed something wrong with Itachi's eyes, but it doesn't matter. I have a solution. You don't have to pay attention to the rumors outside."

Quan naturally believed in his patriarch more than the rumors outside.

So Quan immediately relaxed.

But Natsuki's next words made Quan feel excited.

"Quan, go back and talk to Aunt Yeyue. We will come to your house as guests in the evening in three days."

Quan was so frightened that he suddenly stood up from the bed.

Of course she knew what the patriarch was talking about.

Just because she knew it, she was even more panicked.

She twirled her fingers with a rosy face and glanced down at Itachi who didn't understand.

"Now that Itachi is injured, there's no need to be so anxious."

The voice was very low, and if Xia Mu wasn't so close, he wouldn't be able to hear it at all.

It was quite amusing for Natsuki to see Quan's shy look:

"That's it, let Aunt Yeyue prepare it."

Quan pursed his lips and seemed to accept his fate:

"Then...then I understand, I'll go back first."

Quan turned around and met Itachi's eyes. After letting go of his shyness, sweetness came over him.

Then he smiled sweetly at Itachi: "Waiting for you to come over, Itachi."

Then he left the room with brisk steps.

Itachi was confused at this time.

"Senior, why are you going to Quan's house?"

Natsuki shook his head and didn't talk about it with Itachi: "Of course I'm going to settle your marriage to Izumi."

"Ah, this, this, this..."

It's hard to imagine that Itachi also stuttered sometimes.

Xia Mu's face turned into a tiger:

"When you left Konoha, Izumi followed you without hesitation and suffered for so many years."

"Shouldn't the marriage be finalized?"

"Uh-huh."

Itachi calmed down after the initial panic.

Thinking that Quan has been by his side all these years, cooking for him, preparing ninja tools for him, and making mission plans for him.

Itachi felt sweet in his heart.

Thinking of the time when he saw himself killing Quan because he wanted so-called peace in Natsuki's future scene.

Itachi felt more and more precious about Quan.

"I understand." Itachi said with a serious face.

After figuring out certain things, he felt even more that happiness was hard-won.

Natsuki was about to explain to Itachi again.

Sasuke barged in again.

Seeing that Xia Mu was there, he quickly saluted Xia Mu.

"Teacher, you are here too."

"Teacher, why is the fact that my brother is going to Lord Orochimaru to treat his eyes spread all over the world?"

Sasuke is still young now, but he still feels that something is wrong.

Natsuki shook his head: "It doesn't matter, this is the fact. You can talk to Itachi for a while first."

With that said, Natsuki walked towards Uchiha's hospital.

Now that this matter has spread outside, Tsunade should also have received the news.

I need to explain it to Tsunade.

Natsuki walked inside the hospital, where Tsunade was wiping a photo.

Seeing Natsuki come in, Tsunade put the photo next to her.

Natsuki glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw a photo of Tsunade and Kato Dan.

In the photo, Kato Suan smiles very gently, and Tsunade still has her hair tied in a ponytail, leaning next to Kato Suan with a happy look on her face.

Kato Dan was Tsunade's first love, who unfortunately died during the Second Ninja War.

His misfortune was that he did not die from his enemies, but from the conspiracy of his own people.

But he is also lucky. Tsunade has been protecting him for more than twenty years.

In Natsuki's eyes, Tsunade's good match should be Kato Dan.

When Jiraiya finally made a bet with Tsunade, it could be said that the relationship between them was not love at all, but was mixed with many other feelings.

Even if Jiraiya comes back alive, they may not be together.

Tsunade has only one lover in her life, not Jiraiya.

Xia Mu's thoughts were racing and he didn't speak for a while.

Tsunade saw that Natsuki was fascinated when she saw the photo, and she didn't know what Natsuki was thinking.

Because based on Xia Mu's age, Xia Mu had just been born when Duan died, so the two people should have had no intersection.

"I just wanted to find you. What's going on in Konoha?"

Tsunade asked.

Tsunade has the habit of going to the casino to play twice a day, so it is very easy for the Third Hokage to find her.

Tsunade was very disappointed with the Third Generation's previous handling of the Danzo incident, so she didn't want to see the Third Hokage.

Therefore, the third generation sent people to deliver information, and Tsunade liked it or not.

But Sandai has been working hard to repair the relationship between him and Tsunade.

So it has never stopped.

When Tsunade went to play two games today, ANBU sent another message.

It means that today the Third Hokage gave Uchiha another honorary elder position, and Orochimaru will help treat Itachi and Fugaku's eyes.

Later, the Anbu also gave Tsunade the appointment letter of honorary elder and asked Tsunade to bring it back to Natsuki.

Tsunade didn't want to gamble anymore, she just wanted to know what happened.

After returning, I heard that Natsuki had gone to Itachi's side, so I temporarily waited for him in the hospital.

"He was tricked by Orochimaru."

Natsuki sighed and briefly explained the matter to Tsunade.

"So, the old man will give you an honorary elder to bribe you?"

Tsunade was a little confused. This honorary elder did have a lot of power.

But the honorary elder only has the right to make suggestions, and there are also advisory elders and the Hokage above.

For Uchiha, who has become completely independent, he does not rely on you, Konoha, to survive, nor does he rely on you, Konoha, to develop.

This thing is like worthless and of little use.

…

Chapter 284 Empty Stronghold

Natsuki chuckled, it might be useless in other people's hands.

But Xia Mu has a way to make him useful.

But he didn't answer Tsunade now.

Instead he asked:

"Tsunade, if one day Uchiha and Konoha fight, who will you help?"

Tsunade was shocked and looked at Natsuki solemnly.

Seeing that Xia Mu's face was calm, he was patiently waiting for her answer.

Tsunade then started to think seriously.

Her eyes flashed across the photos, thinking of her lover who wanted to be Hokage but died young.

Thinking of the rope tree that was younger but still dead.

"I won't let anyone destroy Konoha."

Tsunade's words were resounding. Konoha was the hard work of her two grandfathers, and she would not let Konoha be destroyed.

Xia Mu's expression didn't change much.

Instead, he continued to ask: "What if Konoha wants to destroy Uchiha?"

Tsunade glanced around and thought about the injustice done to Uchiha in the village.

Thinking of Uchiha Natsuki's character and Naruto's smiling face.

He also shook his head firmly:

"I won't let Konoha destroy Uchiha either."

Xia Mu lowered his eyes slightly: "I understand."

Tsunade frowned:

"Natsuki, if you have any plans, you can tell me. It's not the best ending for Konoha and Uchiha to fight until both of them lose."

Xia Mu raised his head and showed a smile:

"Tsunade-sama, do you think I can be the Fifth Hokage?"

Tsunade was shocked and dumbfounded. Natsuki had never shown any interest in the position of Hokage before.

What's going on today?
