Chapter 3 I'm really hurt
The Hokage Building in Konoha was filled with smoke.
"call......"
Hiruzen Sarutobi put his pipe away and fixed his gaze on the crystal ball on the table.
To be precise, it resides in that boy named Uchiha Ike.
Today, he was just using his crystal ball to secretly observe whether there were any safety hazards around the village, but he never expected to see this scene while patrolling the Naga River.
How can you bully a girl like that?
While feeling displeased, Hiruzen Sarutobi was also somewhat puzzled.
Why do this?
This wouldn't benefit Uchiha Ike either, would it?
Just as he was racking his brains trying to figure it out, Shimura Danzo, who was standing next to him, spoke up angrily.
"Hiruzen, you see? The Uchiha are indeed a naturally evil ninja clan!"
"At such a young age, they already find pleasure in manipulating people's hearts; I don't even want to think about what kind of person they'll become in the future!"
"..." Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at Danzo out of the corner of his eye, then asked, "Danzo, what are you trying to say?"
Danzo Shimura stopped acting altogether and said, "Give this child to Root."
Within his Root organization, there are talented individuals from various ninja clans, but none from the Uchiha clan.
the reason is simple.
Firstly, the intimidating power of the Uchiha clan prevented him from acting openly.
Secondly, Hiruzen Sarutobi was wary of the Uchiha clan, so he couldn't act secretly.
Based on the above two points, although he was fascinated by the Sharingan, his interest was limited to mere admiration.
but......
This boy named Uchiha Ike is different.
Danzo Shimura could tell at a glance that this was a bad apple.
Not only was he a bad apple, but he was also withdrawn, an orphan, and most importantly, he had no special talents.
It has absolutely all sorts of elements.
Even if such a person disappears, it won't cause a big commotion.
If the monkey nods here, Uchiha Ike will receive an urgent mission to go out tomorrow, and then die unexpectedly.
And then, the root group will have one more member tomorrow...
Thinking of this, Danzo couldn't help but continue to tempt Hiruzen Sarutobi:
"Hand him over to me, and the village will not only be rid of a scourge, but also gain a sharp weapon..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi chuckled at this, put his pipe back in his mouth, and resumed puffing away.
"no."
"Why?" Shimura Danzo stared at Hiruzen Sarutobi's face with displeasure. "Madara Uchiha has been dead for so many years, Hiruzen, why are you still so afraid of the Uchiha?"
"I'm not afraid of the Uchiha," Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head slightly in response to Danzo's questioning. "I just feel that a child born of the Will of Fire wouldn't do such a thing. There must be some misunderstanding..."
"hehe......"
Danzo Shimura sneered. What bullshit "Will of Fire"? It's just a brainwashing tactic used to indoctrinate ninjas. He, a monkey, is just afraid of the Uchiha!
Just as Shimura Danzo was about to say something more, Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand, stopping him from speaking:
"Quiet down, they've started talking."
Danzo looked at the crystal ball and saw that Uchiha Ike had turned around in the image, looking like he was about to do something to Nohara Rin.
Danzo crossed his arms and sneered, "Then just you wait and see!"
"I bet you, this is a born evil Uchiha brat!"
#
The Naka River.
Uchiha Ike squinted at the system.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage of Konoha.
That old Deng is really spying everywhere.
Instead of properly checking out the women's bathhouse, they came to spy on young couples confessing their love...
What a perverted old man!
Uchiha Ike mentally complained while simultaneously devising a countermeasure.
It's clear that not only Rin Nohara herself, but also the audience members were very dissatisfied with her performance.
Since they were all dissatisfied with the ending, then as a dedicated actor, Uchiha Ike and fun would satisfy them.
The kind of performance that the audience expects is not called adding scenes, but improvisation.
At sunset.
Uchiha Ike turned around and looked behind him.
Nohara Rin was still standing there, her lips pursed, her little face puffed up with anger, her eyes full of grievance and stubbornness, like an angry hamster.
If it were Obito, seeing this scene, he would probably kneel down and surrender, begging for forgiveness.
But Uchiha Ike is different.
He simply gazed calmly at the girl and said indifferently, "Do you really have to see me in such a sorry state?"
[Panic detected from Rin Nohara!]
[Gain 10 points and increase damage by 2%!]
Nohara Rin's mouth gaped open as she stared blankly at Uchiha Ike: "What?"
She didn't expect that Uchiha Ike, whose true colors she had exposed, would not feel ashamed, but instead become even more indifferent.
Has this person really become this wicked?
Or is it that things aren't as I think?
Just as Nohara Rin was feeling her mind getting a little confused.
Uchiha Ike had already raised his leg and was slowly approaching Nohara Rin.
One step, two steps...
What does he want to do?
Are you enraged and want revenge?
Although confused, as a genin who had already passed the test, Nohara Rin quickly put her hand on her ninja tool bag and took out a black kunai.
She stared intently at Uchiha Ike's torso, ready to retaliate at the slightest suspicious movement to protect herself.
But to Rin Nohara's surprise, Ike Uchiha did nothing.
He simply walked step by step, ignoring Nohara Rin's hand tightly gripping the kunai, and went straight to her.
"Do you really have to see me so heartbroken?"
Uchiha Ike's voice was unusually calm.
"What do you mean?" Nohara Rin, who was still on guard, looked up blankly at Uchiha Ike's face.
And so, the reddened corners of her eyes naturally came into view.
"He...cried?"
At the same time, Uchiha Ike's voice rang out again.
"I'll be moved to tears of gratitude for your kindness when you finally say we can still be friends."
"Or should I wait for you for years after you say you want to focus on your ninja training?"
Uchiha Ike's tone was calm and indifferent:
"What exactly do you want to see? Do you want to see me with a mournful face, to see my throat choked with sobs... or do you want me to cry here for you to see?"
This time, Nohara Rin finally heard the tremor in the other person's calm voice.
That was the same grievance I felt.
Nohara Rin panicked a little, feeling that things had once again exceeded her expectations.
"I...I didn't mean that..."
Nohara Rin stammered as she tried to explain, but was immediately interrupted.
"Isn't that what you meant?" Uchiha Ike stared directly into her eyes:
"Aren't you thinking this is a prank because I don't look like I'm in enough pain?"
Nohara Rin choked.
She did indeed doubt the sincerity of Uchiha Ike's confession because his expression was too calm.
"Then let me tell you, I'm very sad right now, very hurt, and I really want to find a quiet corner where no one is around to cry, is that okay?"
Uchiha Ike wiped his eyes with his sleeve, swallowed, and his eyes became even redder: "Is that enough? Are you satisfied?"
"I..." Nohara Rin slowly lowered her head, wanting to say something, but found that she couldn't say anything.
Only now did she realize how hurtful her words had been.
After finally mustering up the courage, the person you like thinks it's a prank, and even questions whether your feelings are genuine...
Just imagining it in her own mind made Nohara Rin feel like she couldn't breathe.
She broke Uchiha Ike's heart...
Nohara Rin dared not look at Uchiha Ike anymore, and looked down at her toes.
Her lips trembled uncontrollably; she was clearly trying to suppress her emotions, but her vision was becoming increasingly blurry...
Uchiha Ike's words abruptly ceased, seemingly due to the girl's sobs.
He didn't say anything more, but just looked at Nohara Rin quietly, his eyes filled with a hint of lingering affection.
I don't know how much time passed, maybe a few seconds, or maybe a few minutes.
"Just treat this as a prank," Uchiha Ike said with a wry smile. "At least this way, I'm not a pathetic clown in your memory."
After saying that, Uchiha Ike disappeared into the afterglow of the setting sun without looking back.
Even after the sun had completely disappeared below the horizon, Nohara Rin remained standing in the same spot, staring unfocused at the ground.
Like a child who has made a mistake.
