Chapter 9 Trust!
Chapter 9 Trust!
Are you here to mess with me?
Why are you bringing me here?
Uchiha Kagami felt the sharp gazes, and the eyes of his former teammates were full of disappointment. Just now the six of them were huddled together for warmth, resisting the tremendous pressure brought to them by Uzumaki Mito, but now they were falling apart.
Danzo Shimura, Koharu Utane, Mito Kado En, and Akimichi Tofu, as if they had telepathy, moved away from Uchiha Kagami. Only Sarutobi Hiruzen stayed where he was, looking at Uchiha Kagami with complicated eyes.
At this moment, Uzumaki Mito's hair was fluttering. People who were familiar with Uzumaki Mito knew that she was on the verge of a rage.
The enormous amount of chakra in Mito's body was released, and visible chakra gas appeared around his body. Tiny cracks appeared on the hard floor under his feet. As long as Uzumaki Mito exerted a little more force, the floor would explode into pieces.
Say something!
Must say something!!!
Uchiha Kagami alone endured the pressure brought by Uzumaki Mito and felt like a small boat drifting on the endless ocean.
At this moment, the sky over the sea was covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and waves dozens of meters high were roaring on the sea and rushing towards him. A deep feeling of powerlessness filled Uchiha Jing.
Murderous intent mixed with various negative chakras enveloped Uchiha Kagami's entire body, but he was unable to exert any strength.
Weak! !
Uchiha Jing had never felt so weak before. In his memory, the old man in front of him was kind and gentle, always with a smile on his face.
Even so, Uchiha Jing did not underestimate her. Her identity was no secret to the Uchiha clan, and her strength was always praised by the clan elders.
That old lady Mito is not an easy character to get along with. Even for me, I can only be on equal terms with her. An old man from the Uchiha Warring States period once commented on Uzumaki Mito.
Now Uchiha Jing understood that the old man in his family had more nonsense than he thought. As for Uzumaki Mito's strength, Uchiha Jing had imagined it, and thought that even if he was not his opponent, he could at least fight.
Now it seems that I was overthinking.
"Not me. I would never leak information, and I would never swear casually using the Uchiha name!"
Uchiha Kagami brought up the Uchiha clan. Uchiha Kagami had not yet fallen to the point of swearing a curse that all the Uchiha clan members would be killed.
However, Uchiha Jing's explanation seemed pale and powerless. As soon as the six of them returned to the village, they went straight to the Senju clan's territory to report the death. They did not see any other people in the meantime. After arriving at the Senju clan's territory, they never left.
But in one afternoon, the news of Senju Tobirama's death spread throughout Konoha.
The source of the news came from Uchiha. Including Uzumaki Mito, there were only seven people who knew about the death of Senju Tobirama, and Uchiha Kagami happened to be an Uchiha.
It’s not like the Uchiha don’t have ways to secretly transmit information. Is it necessary to pass the message face to face?
Uchiha Kagami's words obviously could not convince Uzumaki Mito. Things had already happened, and someone had to step up and pay the bill and take responsibility for it all.
Whether it was Uchiha Kagami who did it or not is no longer important to Uzumaki Mito. Since the news came from the Uchiha, Uchiha Kagami has become an accomplice, because he is an Uchiha after all.
Uzumaki Mito stood up, his eyes filled with murderous intent. He couldn't kill the Uchiha brat in front of him, but he could beat him until he had to lie down at home for half a year.
"Mito-sama!"
"I believe in Uchiha Kagami!!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke loudly, then stood in front of Uchiha Kagami, staring at Uzumaki Mito.
Everyone present was surprised. Even at this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen still dared to stand up and protect Uchiha Kagami.
A look of surprise flashed across Uzumaki Mito's face, but it was fleeting. He stared at Sarutobi Hiruzen's determined face for a few seconds, and then a voice came out of his throat:
"You little monkey, do you know what you are talking about?
"Want to be a hero here and pretend?"
"This kind of little trick can't impress me." The aura emitted by Uzumaki Mito moved away from Uchiha Kagami and stared at Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Uchiha Kagami looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with a grateful expression, then began to breathe heavily. The feeling of floating on the sea and being able to drown at any time just now disappeared.
The cold sweat all over his body had soaked through his underwear, and the clothes were tightly attached to Uchiha Jing's skin, and the sticky feeling was very uncomfortable, but Uchiha Jing didn't have time to care about this now.
"Huruzen, stop being so stubborn. Uchiha Kagami is still an Uchiha after all!"
Danzo Shimura looked at his good friend, who was bearing the pressure alone, and the person he was protecting was an Uchiha who leaked the information.
In Danzo Shimura's opinion, the person who leaked the information among the six of them must be Uchiha.
Teacher Tobirama has always been on guard against the Uchiha clan. After all, Uchiha Kagami is still a member of the Uchiha clan, and leaking information to the Uchiha clan is not unacceptable.
"Shut up!!"
"Did I let you talk?"
Uzumaki Mito looked at Shimura Danzo and was very dissatisfied with Shimura Danzo's interruption.
Feeling the murderous gaze of Uzumaki Mito, Danzo Shimura immediately shut his mouth and acted as obedient as a quail.
"Mito-sama, I have no intention of playing any tricks."
"I believe Uchiha Jing is not that kind of person."
Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke, his eyes sparkling, and there was no trace of fear in his tone.
"Tell me your reasons."
Uzumaki Mito demanded.
"Uchiha Kagami is special. He doesn't have the domineering and arrogant nature of the Uchiha. He is gentle and kind."
"He is always gentle to his companions. On the battlefield, he is a reliable comrade, and I can trust him with my back without any worries."
"."
Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke slowly, saying that he knew everything about Uchiha Kagami, from every little detail in life to their life and death together on the battlefield.
In Sarutobi Hiruzen's memory, the Uchiha clan members were always arrogant, especially the Uchiha who opened the Sharingan, who were even more arrogant.
Sarutobi Hiruzen recalled the Uchiha generation of his peers. Two outsiders appeared among the Uchiha, one was the familiar Uchiha Kagami, and the other was Uchiha Nan.
They were both very powerful and humble, and even ordinary ninjas could joke with them both.
Even if they were occasionally offended, they never got really angry. They thought the other party had just said something inappropriate, and they would just laugh it off and let it go.
Because of this, Senju Tobirama tried to accept disciples, Uchiha Kagami and Uchiha Kusunoki.
Uchiha Kagami accepted it, but Uchiha Nan refused.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's description was so detailed that everyone present could not help but be moved. Even Shimura Danzo, who had just identified Uchiha Kagami as the leaker, began to wonder if he had wrongly accused Uchiha Kagami.
