Naruto: The Brightest Star

Chapter 180: Simple People

"Hey! It's closed again?!"

Uchiha Xing looked at the Nth closed inn with shock in his eyes.

Not every hotel closes so early, and it's packed with people once it closes!

Am I going to sleep on the streets today?

Uchiha Xing looked at the closed door of the inn in front of him with a dull expression.

Senju Tobirama, who was standing by, looked at the closed door of the inn in silence for a moment, then said, "It seems that all the inns have closed early. If you don't mind, you can stay at my house first."

"Hmm? Hmm!!!"

Uchiha Xing quickly retreated and looked at Senju Tobirama with a vigilant look on his face.

Why is this guy so enthusiastic! Is he trying to trick me into coming over and use me for human experiments? ! !

Moreover, I just ran away from the Uchiha clan and joined the Senju clan, so it’s weird no matter how you think about it!!!

Senju Tobirama seemed to see what Uchiha Xing was thinking, he retracted his gaze, turned around and left, saying: "Don't worry, I don't live with the Senju clan. I live alone on the edge of the village, where no one will disturb me while I study ninjutsu."

"No one is interrupting..."

Uchiha Xing's original intention was to find a quiet place and find a way to leave here. Senju Tobirama's words seemed to hit Uchiha Xing's heart.

......

Haha, I actually followed.

Uchiha Xing rubbed his face, then followed Senju Tobirama into the wooden house deep in the forest.

Senju Tobirama lit the candle, and the dim room instantly became bright.

Uchiha Xing walked into the wooden house and looked around Senju Tobirama's room.

This log house looks like it was built no more than half a year ago, and...

Scrolls scattered around the room as Uchiha Xing's eyes passed.

It seems that this house was really used by Senju Tobirama to study ninjutsu.

Senju Tobirama put the scroll he had just brought back into the scroll rack, and then began to sort out the other scrolls scattered around the room.

"Let me help you."

Uchiha Xing said, squatting down to pick up the scroll at his feet.

Hmm? This formula... is a space ninjutsu, it doesn't seem to be Flying Thunder God's ninjutsu, what kind of ninjutsu is this?

Uchiha Xing opened the scroll and was about to read it carefully when the scroll in his hand was taken away by Senju Tobirama.

"This jutsu is not complete yet. There are many loopholes in it."

Senju Tobirama rolled up the scroll and then placed it in a specific grid.

"That's it."

Uchiha Xing nodded casually and wanted to continue helping, but Uchiha Xing found that Senju Tobirama had already picked up all the scattered scrolls.

"Sit down. I'll boil a kettle of water."

Senju Tobirama said as he left the room and went to the small kitchen built next to it.

After Senju Tobirama left, Uchiha Xing was bored and decided to wander around.

He walked to the shelf where scrolls were placed in Senju Tobirama and picked up a scroll at random to look at it.

Another space ninjutsu? This is a hypothesis.

Suppose you jump from one space into another space that is unmarked and does not exist.

Uchiha Xing looked at the speculations and assumptions above, and his hand holding the scroll tightened.

“Da, da…”

Senju Tobirama pushed the door open with a tray in his hand.

Senju Tobirama glanced at Uchiha Xing who was sitting at the table with his chin resting on his hand.

"Want to eat? I made noodles."

Senju Tobirama placed a bowl of noodles on the tray in front of Uchiha Xing.

"Thank you."

Looking at the simple noodles, Uchiha Xing took a bite casually.

Um... I've eaten premium noodles before, but suddenly I eat this kind of noodles, and it tastes so bad...

Uchiha Xing ate slowly.

"Just now I saw that the Hokage Rock here is engraved with Uchiha Madara. How did he become the Hokage? Why is there a new person now?"

Uchiha Star asked Senju Tobirama.

"After the establishment of the Konohagakure here, the people chose Uchiha Madara, with Senju Hashirama as his assistant."

"Under their joint management, Konoha continued to develop in a good direction. However, although Konoha was stable, the entire ninja world was not stable. Therefore, after discussion between Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama, they decided to leave Konoha together and prepare to pacify the ninja world. For this reason, Uchiha Izuna inherited the position of Hokage."

Senju Tobirama spoke casually.

"I see, these two are really amazing~"

Uchiha Xing said casually.

"Ah, after all, one is the strongest in force, and the other is the strongest in strategy."

Senju Tobirama said this with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

"Yeah."

Uchiha Xing said casually, then put down his chopsticks.

"I just noticed that there seems to be only one bed in this room. Where should I sleep?"

"I'll sleep on the bed and you sleep on the floor."

After finishing the last bite of noodles, Tobirama Senju began to clean up the dishes.

"Huh? You made me, a cute and lovely girl, sleep on the floor!"

Uchiha Xing looked at Senju Tobirama with shock.

Senju Tobirama's hands that were packing his things paused and he looked at Uchiha Xing as if he was an idiot.

"You? Cute and adorable? Hehe."

Senju Tobirama left with the dishes he had eaten.

"That mouth is still so annoying."

Uchiha Xing stood up and walked to the only bed in the room, rolled up everything on it, and threw the quilt next to the scroll rack next to Senju Tobirama. Then he took out a brand new quilt from the quilt and spread it on the bed.

When Senju Tobirama came back, his bed had already been occupied by Uchiha Xing.

"Ha~"

Senju Tobirama glanced at the rolled-up quilts beside the bookshelf and sighed.

"Stop snoring and talking in your sleep, or I'll throw you off the bed. People who snore and talk in their sleep are not fit to sleep in this bed."

Snoring? Talking in sleep?

Please! I'm a girl! A girl!

Uchiha Xing gritted his teeth silently.

If you weren't so weak, I would beat you up!

"Get some rest, it's not too late."

Tobirama Senju extinguished the candle that illuminated the Uchiha Star, sat back in his office, used a not very light-transparent paper to block half of the candle light on the table, and continued to study his own ninjutsu.

"Tobirama..."

Uchiha Xing was covered with a quilt, leaning back on the bed, looking at Senju Tobirama opposite him.

"Ah."

Senju Tobirama hummed lightly.

"Have you ever seen an Uchiha brat wearing an orange swirl mask."

Uchiha Star asked Senju Tobirama.

"Uzumaki mask? No."

Senju Tobirama thought for a moment and then spoke.

"Really? That's a bit troublesome."

Uchiha Xing said while rubbing his forehead.

"Why, is that little devil important to you?"

Senju Tobirama put down what he was holding and looked up at Uchiha Xing.

"Ah, after all, he was the one who caused me to come here. No matter what, I must let him know how terrible the consequences of angering me are."

Uchiha Xing said this, with a sinister look in his eyes.

"I see it."

Senju Tobirama withdrew his gaze and continued to write down his thoughts.

"When I saw you on the street, you didn't hide your murderous intent at all."

Senju Tobirama spoke casually.

"You found murderous intent in me and brought me back. Aren't you afraid that I will suddenly kill you?"

Uchiha Xing turned his head and looked at Senju Tobirama.

"you will not."

Senju Tobirama said this with great conviction.

"Well, you trust me."

Uchiha Xing chuckled and didn't say anything else.

Senju Tobirama kept writing something, and for a moment the only sounds in the room were the sound of Senju Tobirama writing and Uchiha Xing's faint and steady breathing.

After a long time, Senju Tobirama raised his head and looked at Uchiha Xing who was sitting on the bed against the wall opposite him, sleeping soundly with a knife tightly in his hand, and sighed silently.

Are you warning me?

On the other side, the projection of Uchiha Obito appeared at the highest point of Konoha.

Looking at the two avatars on the Hokage Rock, Uchiha Obito fell silent.

The first one is Uchiha Madara, right? Then who is the second one? Sasuke?

What is her relationship with Sasuke? Could it be...

She wants to be an old cow eating young grass!

Hiss~ They are thirteen years apart! Thirteen years! Not three years!

tsk tsk~

At this time, Uchiha Obito's gossipy mind gradually became occupied by the desire to find out who Uchiha Xing was.

But why did she think that Madara would become the Hokage? And why did Sasuke become the Nidaime? The timeline was not right, it should be the Sixth Hokage.

While thinking, Uchiha Obito arrived at the Uchiha clan's territory.

Looking at the clan land that was completely different from what he remembered, Uchiha Obito couldn't help but be stunned.

Here...is the Uchiha clan's land!

Uchiha Obito was a little bit unconvinced, but looking at the Uchiha clan emblems everywhere around him, Uchiha Obito had to believe it.

Perhaps to prove something, Uchiha Obito relied on the special nature of his projection to sneak into every room.

However, there was no one in the tribe whom he knew.

Although this is a world projected according to the inner wishes of the person being cast, everyone in it will be projected according to the other person's memory.

Logically, the other person seems to be a few years younger than me, but why, why don’t I know any of the Uchiha people here!

Yuzhixing, who are you?

As if he didn't believe it, Uchiha Obito planned to find some people they knew in common.

For example, Hatake Kakashi.

However, when Uchiha Obito left the Uchiha clan's land, he found himself in a completely unfamiliar village. Although the roads were somewhat similar, the buildings were completely different.

Is this...really Konoha?

Uchiha Obito couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"Whoosh!"

Several kunai were shot out from a distance and passed through Uchiha Obito's projection.

"Ok?"

Uchiha Obito turned his head and saw Uchiha Izuna holding a short blade.

Sasuke? No! No, he just looks like him.

"Who are you? What is your purpose in coming to Konoha?!"

Uchiha Izuna looked at the translucent Uchiha Obito warily.

The kunai just went through, does it ignore the physical damage?

Uchiha Izuna was thinking, three magatama were spinning in his red eyes.

"I am Madara Uchiha."

Perhaps he was used to pretending to be Uchiha Madara, so when he heard someone asking, Uchiha Obito almost subconsciously called out this name.

quiet......

"How dare you impersonate Brother Ban's name! Today I will kill you for Brother Ban!"

Uchiha Izuna said this and began to use ninjutsu tentatively to test the depth of the opponent's ability.

Brother Ban?

Uchiha Obito ignored the fire escape coming towards him and thought seriously about Uchiha Izuna's words.

Come to think of it, apart from looking like Sasuke, I always feel like I've seen this guy somewhere before.

Judging from his tone, he should know Old Man Ban, so he should appear in Old Man Ban’s memory.

Uchiha Obito carefully recalled the memory that Uchiha Madara showed him at that time.

I remember now! Isn't this Mr. Ban's younger brother?

Wait! That is to say...

Uchiha Obito looked towards the direction of Hokage Rock, his expression darkening.

This is not the Konoha I know, but the Konoha of the past. Why is Yuzhixing so familiar with the Konoha of the past, and why is this the world she longs for in her heart!

Could it be that she was once that person at this time!

Her age and appearance...

Uchiha Obito guessed, and the images of Orochimaru and Tsunade appeared in his mind.

Is it a secret technique? I see, I see. No wonder she is so supportive of Konoha.

Uchiha Obito lowered his eyes for a moment, then looked up at Uchiha Izuna who was looking at him warily, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Perhaps he could take advantage of it.

Uchiha Obito thought so and appeared in front of Uchiha Izuna in a flash.

"Izuna, I didn't expect to see you in this world."

Uchiha Obito imitated the tone that Uchiha Madara used to speak to Uchiha Izuna in his memory, and spoke along with Uchiha Izuna.

"Say it again! Don't pretend to be Madara-nii!"

Uchiha Izuna said this, preparing to use illusion on Uchiha Obito.

"Izuna, I'm really happy that you defend me like this. I really am your Madara brother, but I'm not the Madara brother in your world."

Uchiha Obito said very seriously.

"What do you mean, man!"

Uchiha Izuna couldn't help but frown when he heard what Uchiha Obito said.

The Uchiha Izuna in this world is not like the Uchiha Izuna that Uchiha Xing knows. Although he is smart, his mind is relatively simple, he is also kind and easy to trust others.

In order to make Uchiha Izuna believe him, Uchiha Obito took great pains to find the memories of the interactions between Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Izuna.

So, Uchiha Obito followed Uchiha Izuna and told them the story of their past.

"Are you really Brother Ban?"

Uchiha Izuna still looked at Uchiha Obito with some disbelief.

"Hmm? You're right to doubt me. Although for me, those are things from our past, we are not in the same time and space after all. Maybe you haven't experienced those things. Well~ In this case, your physical characteristics shouldn't change much."

"I was often the one who took care of you when you were little. I remember there were three moles on your side."

Uchiha Obito spoke after thinking for a while.

Uchiha Izuna covered his waist with his left hand, lost in thought.

There are indeed three moles on my waist, and no one else knows about this except those close to me.

"Brother Ban?"
