"Thank you, thank you."

Hinata Hyuga timidly looked at the strange uncle in front of her, she still knew that she was rescued.

Shen He just nodded.

Seeing that Kakashi was also here, he thought that nothing would happen. When he was about to leave, he suddenly saw Hinata Hyuga's right arm.

There was a trace of blood there.

It should be scratched by a kunai.

But...

Shen He could clearly feel that there was a unique power in her blood.

Reaching out and gently wiping her wound, the wound healed in an instant.

Not only that.

The injuries left by the previous duel with Ningji Hyuga were also completely restored in an instant.

At the same time, a little bit of blood was collected by Shen He.

"Thank you, uncle."

Hinata Hyuga moved her limbs in surprise, and did not forget to bow to Shen He formally to thank her.

Although she is young, as the eldest lady of the Hyuga family, she still has basic cultivation.

"Yeah." Shen He responded softly this time, and then looked at the Konoha people who were still looking at him vigilantly, "Don't think too much, I won't intervene if I say I won't intervene, just because my sister couldn't bear it."

Naturally, he put the blame on Violet.

Kakashi glanced at the completely collapsed arena with his peripheral vision, and the corners of his mouth under the mask twitched slightly.

No matter which of the two girls this person was talking about.

Neither of them seemed to be someone who would "not bear it".

However, now there is indeed no energy to waste with this unknown terrifying strongman.

Kakashi and the other Konoha Jonins looked at each other, leaving two people to protect the eldest daughter of the Hibiki family, while staring at this person, and he continued to fight.

Shen He was also happy to be free.

His eyes swept across the surrounding field.

Most of the ordinary people had already evacuated, and among the twelve little strong men, only Hibiki Hinata was still behind him, and the protagonist Uzumaki Naruto was nowhere to be seen. I think he ran to show off in front of Sasuke just like in the original work.

"Uncle." Hinata took a deep breath and said with courage: "Naruto... My friend is missing, I want to find him."

"Huh?"

Shen He was stunned for a moment, and then he saw the eyes of the senior ninjas from the corner of his eye, and then he reacted.

They should let Hinata find an excuse to leave this dangerous person.

Suddenly he felt playful.

He frowned.

"Naruto? It's a boy's name, right? You don't have to worry about it. Boys should have their own adventures. Any adventure that can't kill him will make him stronger."

"Kill, kill..."

Hinata's body shook, and the little girl was a little scared.

As a ninja, it's normal to die.

But usually, ninjas will intentionally or unintentionally not think about this problem.

"One day you don't become the strongest, one day you live in danger." Shen He looked at the barrier not far away, "Even your third generation Hokage will be in danger this time."

"..."

At Hinata's current age and her personality, she can't fully understand Shen He's words.

But the Root hiding in the dark understood.

This time, Orochimaru's raid was participated by Root Danzo. If the man in front of him intervened and caused the Third Hokage to survive...

he must notify Danzo immediately!

But just as the Root was about to leave, a slightly cold voice came.

"Hehe, even if the Hokage sacrifices, it is the duty of the Hokage."

Danzo, who was supposed to guard the Root, appeared in front of Shen He at this moment.

He has been checking nearby?

Yes, this person wants to be a Hokage so badly that he can't help but keep an eye on such a plan.

Shen He's hands were hidden in his sleeves.

His eyes slightly swept over Danzo's bandaged right arm.

A playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Why did the Uchiha clan of Konoha get exterminated? It turned out that someone was eyeing their Sharingan. Do you think that this kind of eyes is useful if there are more of them?"

"——!"

Danzo's own pupil suddenly shrank. He stretched out his

hand and waved.

Screams were heard in an instant, and the several jonins left behind by Kakashi were all killed by the root ninjas that suddenly appeared.

"There is actually a traitor pretending to be a jonin of Konoha."

Danzo glanced at Hyuga Hinata who was hiding behind Shen He, and still concealed a sentence.

The Uchiha clan is not a traitor in name.

Therefore, it is best to hide his right arm.

After killing several possible leakers, Danzo stared at Shen He viciously, but did not dare to act rashly. He

actually saw through his right arm at a glance. Did he leak the news, or was the man in front of him really so terrifying?

Danzo's lips moved slightly, but a voice was transmitted directly to Shen He's ears through the secret method.

"If you don't intervene, I will give you ten forbidden techniques in the Sealed Book."

"......" Shen He raised his eyebrows, "Deal."

He didn't intend to intervene.

If the Third Hokage didn't die, Konoha would not undergo a transformation, and the Third Hokage had lived for so long, and finally died for Konoha, which was considered a death without regrets.

However, his eyes were full of amusement.

To reach such conditions in private was almost like selling out the country, no, selling out the village. Does such a person want to be Hokage?

You know, no matter how dirty things are in private, the person who stands in the open must be respected, not hated.

"Let's go, little girl, I'll take you to find your friend."

Shen He reached out and grabbed one of Hinata's arms, and his figure disappeared in an instant.

Only Danzo with an uncertain expression was left.

At this time, Uzumaki Naruto still saved Sasuke from Gaara at the last critical moment.

This is why Shen He came here on purpose.

He found that the plot of this world is too easy to change.

But there are countless times when it is "a matter of seconds".

"Naruto!"

Hinata wanted to rush out when she saw Naruto.

But she was pulled back by Shen He.

"We just watch the boy's adventure."

Shen He nonchalantly pulled Hinata to sit on a tree, and took out some snacks and skewers.

Hinata was naturally in no mood to eat.

But Shen He was, and he ate very happily.

Thinking carefully, when I watched the animation before, it was this scene, when Uzumaki Naruto fought Gaara, that really fascinated me. Now I watch the live version again, and it feels pretty good, with a hint of sentiment.

For a passionate protagonist like this, if you really want to do good for him, don't interfere too much.

Only a true passionate adventure can create a true passionate protagonist.

I'm already a lazy guy, there's no need to make others become lazy like me.

Shen He watched a wonderful drama again with a nostalgic mood.

When everything was over.

Shen He finally didn't restrict Hinata Mukata's actions.

She rushed down and helped Naruto, who was already exhausted, with tears in her eyes.

Shen He also walked over slowly.

"It's you!"

Uchiha Sasuke looked at Shen He in surprise.

This person didn't have the terrifying aura just now, but the feeling at that time was already deeply imprinted in his heart.

"Low-level curse seal." Shen He looked at the curse seal spreading on Sasuke with interest, "But it has certain potential. Was it imposed on you by Orochimaru?"

"......Yes."

Sasuke whispered, moving slightly to block Naruto.

This unintentional action made Shen He's eyes light up.

At this time, the second pillar was obviously very loving.

When did it become like that later? It seems that it started from defecting to Orochimaru.

"The prisoner I captured before is your enemy?" Shen He asked again with interest.

"Yes!"

Sasuke's eyes burst out with strong hatred and murderous intent again.

"But with your strength, I'm afraid you will be killed in seconds after meeting. Do you know what it means to be killed in seconds?" Shen He stretched out his finger and slowly approached Sasuke's eyes, "That is, in the time it takes you to blink, you will die."

Sasuke's muscles were tense.

Looking at the finger getting closer and closer, he didn't dare to blink at all.

Snap——!

Shen He retracted his finger, but before that, when he couldn't even notice it, Sasuke's forehead hurt.

"It's that simple for that person to kill you." Shen He stood in front of Uchiha Sasuke with his hands behind his back, and said lightly, "It's that simple for me to kill that person."

Straightforward and rough words

made Uchiha Sasuke tremble all over and sweat profusely.

He was dead.

If it was a battle, facing his brother, he would have died.

He looked at his own weakness and the terrifying power in such a bloody way.

"Hehe."

Shen He pretended to be cool a little, turned around with a smile, and prepared to leave.

Sasuke, the second protagonist, is completely different from Naruto.

He is not a hot-blooded person.

Throughout Sasuke's entire life, he was either on the road of pretending to be cool himself, or on the road of being pretended to be cool by Naruto. In short, he used his coolness to set off the coolness of the first protagonist.

So it feels good to pretend in front of him.

"Please wait a moment!"

Sasuke's voice came from behind Shen He.

He stopped.

He had already guessed what Sasuke was going to say.

"What should I do!" Sasuke clenched his fist tightly, "What should I do to become strong!"

"Didn't you see it just now?" Shen He didn't look back, "Compared to hatred, the heart of protection is the source of strength. You have to think clearly, what you hate is Uchiha Itachi, or yourself who can't protect important people."

After leaving such a sentence, he walked forward again. This time, no matter what words came from behind, Shen He didn't stop again.

Uchiha Sasuke looked at Naruto, who was originally just a tail car.

Thinking about his amazing battle just now, even that terrible monster was defeated by him.

Is this the power of protection?

Sasuke, who was extremely eager to become stronger, began to face Naruto's highlights for the first time.

At the same time.

Shen He smiled bitterly in his heart.

Obviously, he didn't want to intervene, but he couldn't help but say a few more words.

However, after saying more, it seems that another root has merged into his body.

Because his words may affect the fate of important characters?

Forget it, just say more. It's impossible to come to this world without changing anything. If these people deviate from the original track and even lose their lives... that is also their own choice.

...

In the end.

The Third Hokage died.

Konoha Village suffered heavy losses in such a war. Most importantly, the death of the Third Hokage shocked many young people.

The spirit of Konoha and the will of the Hokage were not buried in the hearts of the new generation of backbones until this time.

Shen He also stayed in Konoha Village.

Danzo gave him a large courtyard, which seemed to be the base of a certain root before.

Standing at the door, looking at the villagers and ninjas in black outside the door, feeling the strong atmosphere of mourning, even Shen He was slightly infected by this atmosphere.

The most primitive family and country feelings started with the appearance of sacrifice.

If he had taken action at that time.

The Third Generation might have survived, but Konoha Village might have lost more.

"Master." Violet, who had been staying beside Shen He, suddenly looked at the distance of the street, "That person is here again."

"Really..." Shen He shook his head, not knowing what to say.

Walking down the street was Uchiha Sasuke in black.

After knowing that they lived here, he came almost every day.

"Mr. Shen."

Sasuke called out, then stood at the door, not saying anything or making any unnecessary movements.

"Don't you need to practice?" Shen He asked helplessly.

"Teacher Kakashi said that the curse seal on my body is unstable, and it is not suitable to practice too much in a short period of time." Sasuke looked up, and his dark pupils looked directly into Shen He's eyes without flinching, "What's more, Naruto is training with Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas. If I train alone, the gap between me and Naruto will only get bigger and bigger."

Since a few days ago, Uchiha Sasuke has been begging Shen He to teach him how to practice.

However, Shen He was studying basic ninjutsu from scratch.

So he naturally refused.

Then he became what he is now. Even if Hubie or Violet beat him up and threw him out, he would only think it was a test, and he would come back with bandages the next day.

However... Shen He really didn't know how to teach. If it was Naruto, he might be able to give some pointers, but as for Sasuke, he made rapid progress only when he was with Orochimaru.

God knows what Orochimaru experimented on him to get such a result.

"Master, Violet, it's time to eat."

At this time, Jeanne suddenly came out of the house, wearing a scarf and holding a stack of delicious food with tempting aroma.

Although she looks like a housewife with amazing cooking skills.

But in fact, it's just a little heating of the food made by Erina Uchiha.

"Coming."

Shen He turned around and responded, then took Violet's hand and turned to walk into the house.

Sasuke looked at his back.

These days, he also roughly knew who was in this house.

A very, very warm atmosphere, just like his former home.

Sure enough...

Even such a strong man who could easily capture that person, also relied on the heart of protection to reach this level?

It's just... Uchiha Sasuke clenched his hands, and the thing he wanted to protect the most had been destroyed.
