Naruto: The Brightest Star

Chapter 167 Two Villages with Different Joys and Sorrows

Um·······

Jiraiya looked at Uchiha Xing with dead fish eyes.

Do you think I will believe it?

"Do you have any other questions?"

Uchiha Xing asked Jiraiya and Uchiha Itachi with a smile.

"I have another question. You said you have a spy in Akatsuki. Can you tell me who it is?"

Jiraiya looked at Uchiha Xing and asked.

"Well, I can't tell you yet, but I believe you will know who it is in the near future."

"Now, you two should rest well. Once you have recovered from your injuries, we will enter the battlefield and start dealing with matters concerning the Fourth Shinobi World War. Shiro, take them both back to their rooms to rest."

Uchiha Xing said with a smile.

"I understand, teacher."

Bai said as he carried the cocoon Jiraiya and led the way for Uchiha Itachi.

"Hey, Bai, can you let me go? I can walk by myself."

Jiraiya said with some resistance.

"I can't undo the teacher's technique, so I can only trouble Senior Jiraiya to be patient. Also, the teacher told me that your injuries are very serious. Although most of the injuries have been healed, you still need to recuperate."

Bai said as he left with Jiraiya.

Uchiha Itachi followed Bai and walked forward, but when he was about to leave, Uchiha Itachi stopped, looked back at Uchiha Xing and said: "You really don't know who that person is."

"really do not know."

Uchiha Xing said with a smile.

Uchiha Itachi looked at Uchiha Star for a long time, and then left.

On the other side, Uchiha Shisui received the news about Uchiha Itachi's death from Uchiha Obito.

"He's dead? Sasuke killed him? I should have been the one to kill him!"

Uchiha Shisui said irritably while grabbing his hair.

"No matter what, the mission still needs to continue. Shisui, from today on you will team up with Kisame to capture the Eight-Tails from the Hidden Cloud Village."

Uchiha Obito issued orders to Uchiha Shisui.

"I know, I know."

Uchiha Shisui glanced at the Uchiha leader Hoshigaki Kisame who was behind him, and then started walking out.

Did Itachi really die at the hands of Sasuke? . . . .

Itachi, don't worry, I will definitely do what you ask me to do.

Whether he is staring at Uchiha Madara, or preventing Uchiha Madara from getting close to Sasuke and leading Sasuke back to the right path, or paying attention to the one in the Rain Country.

I'll do it for you, Itachi.

While the Akatsuki organization was busy capturing the tailed beasts, Uchiha Star was treating the injuries of two sick patients.

"Can I not drink it? I remember you have a technique that can instantly restore you."

Jiraiya looked at the black medicine in front of him with disgust.

"This is different. That technique can only stabilize the injury, it can't heal the injury all at once. So, just take the medicine."

Please, if I cure you all, you will definitely return to Konoha. Then what should I do with my next plan? Just drink the medicine in peace.

Uchiha Xing handed the medicine to Jiraiya, and then went to give the medicine to Uchiha Itachi.

After doing this, Uchiha Xing called Uchiha Sasuke to start training.

After Uchiha Itachi drank the medicine, he sat above and watched the two people practicing.

"Well, you two haven't talked yet, have you?"

Jiraiya, covered in bandages, walked over and leaned against the railing to ask Uchiha Itachi.

"Ah."

Uchiha Itachi nodded.

Ever since Uchiha Sasuke found out about Uchiha Itachi, he didn't know how to get along with this brother he had been close to since childhood.

"Hey~ Don't be too anxious. The bond between brothers is not so easy to sever. Take your time."

Jiraiya laughed out loud, and then he started coughing.

"Really? Your throat isn't healed yet. If you keep talking so casually, you might as well hurt your throat!"

Karin came over with a food box.

"Hey! Karin-chan~ comes to see Sasuke again~"

Jiraiya looked at Karin jokingly.

"Of course~"

Karin said this and took a few quick steps to come to Uchiha Itachi's side.

"Can I call you brother?"

Karin asked Uchiha Itachi.

As I recall, Sasuke seemed to care a lot about this little girl.

"can."

Uchiha Itachi nodded to indicate yes.

"Brother~ As soon as I saw you, I felt that you were very kind. Here~ This is the dessert I made, try it~"

Karin said this with a smile, then took out a portion of Karin's special cherry tomatoes from the lunch box and gave it to Uchiha Itachi.

"Thank you."

Uchiha Itachi took the plate, picked up a small tomato with a toothpick, and put it in his mouth.

"Karin-chan, is there a share for me?"

Jiraiya came over with a smile and asked Karin.

"Absolutely not."

Karin quickly closed the food box.

Humph~ The one below is for Sasuke.

"How stingy."

Jiraiya curled his lips, then noticed that Uchiha Itachi seemed to have not spoken for a long time.

"Brother~How is it, is it delicious?"

Karin looked at Uchiha Itachi with great anticipation.

Uchiha Itachi's somewhat scattered eyes gradually focused, and then he nodded and said, "Delicious...eat."

"Great, Sasuke will definitely like it this time~"

Karin said this very happily, and just at this moment the two people below had finished their fight. Karin happily ran down holding the food box.

"Is it really that delicious? By the way, why do I feel like there's something wrong with your tone?"

Jiraiya said as he picked up a small tomato and put it in his mouth.

Then Jiraiya's expression became very distorted and his hands were clenched tightly together.

"No, it's how she pickled the cherry tomatoes. They're so sweet on the outside, but sour when you bite into them."

Jiraiya felt like his soul was about to ascend to heaven.

"Also, you taste so bad, and you actually said it tastes good!"

Uchiha Itachi didn't say anything, but silently put the plate in his hand on the lounge chair, and then pushed it in the direction of Jiraiya.

"I won't eat it."

Jiraiya shook his head frantically, then remembered that Karin seemed to have prepared one for Uchiha Sasuke as well.

Suddenly, Jiraiya was very curious about what expression Uchiha Sasuke would have.

So, Jiraiya lay on the railing and looked down with some excitement.

Below, Uchiha Xing felt something was wrong when he saw Karin running towards him with a food box in her hand.

Milk, milk! The milk is here! Sasuke, eat without worry, the teacher is here to take care of you. The teacher will heal you.

Uchiha Xing looked at Uchiha Sasuke with some sympathy.

"Sasuke~ I made dessert today~"

Karin spoke and ran over confidently, taking out the cherry tomatoes she had made herself.

Uchiha Xing stared closely at the small tomato in Karin's hand.

The color is rosy, no problem, no unusual smell, it should be fine this time.

Uchiha Xing stroked his chin in thought.

Uchiha Sasuke took the small tomato handed to him by Karin, then picked one up with a small fork and put it in his mouth.

Uchiha Sasuke bit into the cherry tomato. His body froze for a moment, then he said, "It's delicious."

"Really? That's great!"

Karin was very happy to hear Uchiha Sasuke's approval.

"Sasuke, please don't lie to Karin. Is the food she makes edible?"

A very disgusted voice sounded.

“Why can’t I eat what I made?”

Karin looked angrily at Suigetsu Hozuki, who appeared out of nowhere and was leaning against the wall watching the fun.

"Last time, I don't know who made sushi, but Jūgo tried one out of curiosity and ended up throwing up on the spot."

Hozuki Suigetsu said this with great disgust.

"Huh? You can blame me for this? I just put too much mustard!"

Karin said unconvinced.

"Haha, you put mustard in it? Others use coarse rice as the base, put the ingredients on top, and add a little mustard. But you have mustard and vinegar rice on the outside, which is unique to you."

Hozuki Kizuki spoke sarcastically.

Jiraiya, who had just come down, heard what Suigetsu Kizuki said and was silent for a moment.

Can you eat that thing? . . . . .

"If I don't spank you for a day, you'll feel itchy, right?"

Karin flexed her wrist and attacked Hozuki Suigetsu.

Uchiha Xing ignored the scene of Karin beating up Suigetsu Kizuki and looked at the plates in Uchiha Sasuke's hand. Out of curiosity, Uchiha Xing picked up one and put it in his mouth.

"Well!"

Uchiha Xing quickly spat it out and looked in shock at Uchiha Sasuke who was putting food into his mouth one by one.

"Sasuke, is your sense of taste damaged? Can you help me treat it?"

"The taste is not damaged."

Uchiha Sasuke quickly finished the cherry tomatoes and put the plate back into the food box.

"Tsk, t ...

Uchiha Xing strongly suspected that Uchiha Sasuke had lost his sense of taste.

"Don't worry, it's not. If it's really broken, find a teacher."

Uchiha Sasuke said this and looked up to see Uchiha Itachi walking over.

Uchiha Sasuke turned his head, not knowing how to get along with Uchiha Itachi.

Unlike the warm and happy atmosphere in the Rain Country, Konoha is very solemn.

That day, Uzumaki Naruto, who knew nothing, was called to the Hokage's office by Kakashi.

"Hey? Why are there so many people?"

Uzumaki Naruto entered the office and saw that in addition to Tsunade and Shizune, there were also Haruno Sakura, Sai, Uzumaki Kushina and an unfamiliar toad.

"Naruto..."

Uzumaki Kushina opened her mouth, and for a moment she didn't know how to tell Uzumaki Naruto that Jiraiya was dead.

"This child must be Jiraiya's disciple."

Fukasaku looked at Uzumaki Naruto who came in and asked Tsunade.

"Yes, this is Uzumaki Naruto, the child of prophecy mentioned here."

Tsunade nodded.

"What is this, this old frog?"

Looking at the tiny Fukasaku, I couldn't help but feel curious.

"Hey! Naruto, be careful with your words. This is Master Fukasaku, one of the two great sages of Mount Myōboku. He came here specially because he has something to ask you."

Tsunade immediately stopped Uzumaki Naruto's rudeness.

"Looking for me specifically?"

Uzumaki Naruto looked at Fukasaku in confusion.

"Well, you are indeed Jiraiya's apprentice."

Fukasaku looked at Uzumaki Naruto to confirm again.

"Of course! Of course I am the disciple of the Lecherous Immortal. Could it be that the Lecherous Immortal asked you to come to me?"

Uzumaki Naruto guessed.

"A lecherous sage? Hehe~ It's very suitable to be called Little Jiraiya~"

Fukasaku chuckled twice, then looked at Uzumaki Naruto and said, "I'm sorry, it wasn't little Jiraiya who asked me to come look for you."

"I came to you to tell you something."

"Little Jiraiya died in the battle."

Hey?

Uzumaki Naruto stood there in a daze.

"You're kidding, aren't you!"

Uzumaki Naruto forced a smile and looked at Fukasaku, then looked at the others.

Everyone in the office fell silent.

"Hey! Speak up! Speak up! You are all lying to me! Right..."

Uzumaki Naruto looked at everyone in the room pleadingly, hoping that someone would tell him that they had deliberately lied to him.

"Naruto."

Uzumaki Kushina walked towards Uzumaki Naruto and raised her hand to hold Uzumaki Naruto's hand.

"It happened suddenly. Jiraiya-sensei was trying to obtain information about Akatsuki...unfortunately he died in battle."

Although Uzumaki Kushina was also very painful inside, she still told Uzumaki Naruto about this matter.

Uzumaki Naruto was silent for a long time, and then he said, "Grandma Tsunade, did the lecherous sage go there alone? Did you ask him to go?"

Tsunade listened to Uzumaki Naruto's question and was silent for a moment, then said, "Yes."

"Why!"

"Shh-!"

Uzumaki Naruto shook off Uzumaki Kushina's hand.

"Naruto!"

Uzumaki Kushina called out as she looked at Uzumaki Naruto who was walking forward.

"Why! Why let him go alone! Don't Akatsuki members work in pairs? If everyone knew this, why let him go alone? Granny Tsunade knows exactly what kind of person he is! Why, why did she let him go anyway?"

Uzumaki Naruto shouted angrily.

"If it was Granny Tsunade, the lecherous sage would never let you go alone!"

"Naruto!"

Uzumaki Kushina raised her hand and covered Uzumaki Naruto's mouth.

"Well, we'll discuss Tsunade's matter later. I'm going to take Naruto out first."

Uzumaki Kushina smiled at Tsunade, then pulled Uzumaki Naruto out.

"Let me go! Let me go!"

Uzumaki Naruto struggled, his eyes full of anger and sadness.

Uzumaki Kushina dragged Uzumaki Naruto out and said angrily: "Enough of the trouble! Tsunade's sorrow is no less than yours, Naruto!"

"Tsunade...all the important people are gone."

Uzumaki Kushina hugged Uzumaki Naruto and said in pain.

Uzumaki Naruto fell silent, then pushed Uzumaki Kushina away and ran away alone.

"Naruto, Naruto!!!"

Seeing Uzumaki Naruto jumping out of the window to escape, Uzumaki Kushina hurried out to catch up with him.

In the evening, Uzumaki Kushina finally found Uzumaki Naruto sitting alone under a street light in a deserted place.

"Naruto..."

Uzumaki Kushina looked at Uzumaki Naruto under the street light, walked over and sat next to Uzumaki Naruto.

"Do you need a shoulder? If you want to cry, just cry."

Uzumaki Kushina spoke softly as she sat next to Uzumaki Naruto.

Uzumaki Naruto remained silent and didn't say anything.

Uzumaki Kushina felt heartbroken when she saw Uzumaki Naruto like this.

"Naruto, let me tell you a story."
