Chapter 73: Welcome Home, A Uchiha Festival
Chapter 73: Welcome Home, A Uchiha Festival
Fortunately, everything had already changed.
With the appearance of Yuyi Xuan Yue, the scattered Yuyi tribe would reunite as one.
This was the prestige and charm of the strongest patriarch in a millennium.
After learning about the current situation of the Yuyi tribe from Mu Ting and regaining control without any fuss, Yuyi Xuan Yue turned to the aged Mu Ting, thought of a certain person, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes. He quickly suppressed the emotion and sighed softly, "Only you are left from the tribe back then."
Mu Ting remained silent for a moment before replying in a hoarse voice, "It's not easy for a tribe to relocate and separate. During the long process, sickness, and killings tend to leave people behind."
The lifespan of ninjas was already short during the Warring States period.
Even in the early years of the Ninja Village, the impact of the Warring States period left many ninjas with damaged bodies and depleted vitality. They couldn't enjoy the peaceful times for long before falling ill and passing away.
To survive as long as Konoha's F4, one would need a lot of medical support, but more importantly, they would have to live a life of luxury and comfort.
The relocation of the Yuyi tribe was naturally not a peaceful journey; it was filled with blood and gore.
"Speaking of which, the Uchiha clan contributed quite a bit during the entire relocation process," Mu Ting added at this point.
Yuyi Xuan Yue had some understanding of this from Samui, but Mu Ting, who had experienced it firsthand, knew more of the specifics.
Mu Ting explained, "After all, the Uchiha and Yuyi clans have been allies for many years. Even though there was less contact after the establishment of Konoha, the friendship remained. Moreover, there were frequent intermarriages between the two clans. Although the Yuyi clan did not actively seek aid during their relocation, the Uchiha clan still sent a group of ninjas to help."
"Does Konoha know about this?" Yuyi Xuan Yue asked.
Mu Ting shook his head. "No. The Uchiha sent people secretly."
Yuyi Xuan Yue now understood.
It must be said that while the Uchiha clan was proud and gave the impression that they were difficult to get along with, they were trustworthy as friends.
If it had been someone else showing such enthusiasm to help the Yuyi clan, Mu Ting and the others would have been on their guard.
But not the Uchiha. If they really wanted something from you, they would just take it by force instead of scheming behind your back.
Additionally, large clans were usually only interested in their own gains.
However, due to the nature of the Sharingan, the Uchiha often let their emotions override everything else.
For example, they secretly helped the Yuyi clan without Konoha's permission.
If Konoha had found out, the Uchiha's political standing in the village would have been even worse.
The reason the Uchiha did this was not for gain but because of their long-standing friendship and intermarriages, as well as the fact that there were Uchiha members within the Yuyi clan, such as Mu Ting's wife, who was originally from the Uchiha clan.
"Clan Leader, the boy you brought back this time is Uchiha's sole survivor, Uchiha Sasuke, right? How do you plan to treat him?" Thinking of how his wife had been secretly pinching him hard on his waist, Mu Ting asked cautiously.
Yuyi Xuan Yue, who had seen right through Mu Ting's expression, waved his hand and said, "Rest assured, I won't make you go home and kneel on a washboard."
As the head of the Yuyi clan in the Land of Lightning, Samui had bluntly revealed the fact that Mu Ting was afraid of his wife when narrating the current situation of the Yuyi clan.
"Uchiha Sasuke is not a prisoner here. Your wife and those people, if they want to see him, they can."
There was a hint of surprise on Yuyi Xuan Yue's face as he said this.
Just as a butterfly flapping its wings in the Amazon can cause a hurricane in Texas.
"What was the name of that Uchiha member?" Yuyi Xuan Yue asked.
"Uchiha Setsuna!" Mu Ting replied with a hint of nostalgia in his voice.
"He was the one who proposed to support the Yuyi Clan and personally came to escort them along the way!"
On the streets of Suqian Village.
Sasuke walked with his hands in his pockets, looking bored as he followed Ali around.
If given a choice, he would rather be training than wandering around in this village, which resembled Konoha but was much smaller and less bustling.
However, Yuyi Xuan Yue was different from Kakashi or Orochimaru.
Sasuke had no room for refusal when it came to his instructions.
If it had been anyone else, they might have harbored resentment in their hearts.
Although Sasuke was headstrong, he did one thing well—when it came to true power that could make him submit, he would willingly follow their orders.
Well, Kakashi didn't impress Sasuke much.
As for Orochimaru, he was just asking for trouble.
After walking for a while, Ali seemed to have received some instructions. He led Sasuke away from the bustling streets to a quiet mansion.
Sasuke looked around and asked casually, "Why have you brought me here?"
Stopping in front of the mansion's gate, Ali raised his right hand in an inviting gesture and said, "There's someone inside who wants to meet you, Sasuke."
"Meet me?"
Sasuke, who wasn't worried about encountering danger in Yuyi Xuan Yue's territory, didn't hesitate. He stepped through the gate and, following Ali's lead, arrived at a room.
"Go on in; there's a surprise waiting for you inside," Ali said, clearly aware of Sasuke's background. He pointed at the door with his finger, indicating that Sasuke should enter by himself.
Glancing at Ali's handsome smiling face, Sasuke didn't feel like thinking too much. He strode to the door and was about to push it open when, for some unknown reason, his hand paused, and he felt a twinge of hesitation in his heart.
He couldn't explain why he felt this way.
It was just that, thinking of Ali standing by his side and observing him, Sasuke snorted coldly in his heart and forcefully pushed the door open.
The door creaked open with an ear-piercing sound, revealing a much darker interior.
Sasuke didn't mind the darkness as he looked forward and saw an old woman with very black hair despite her apparent old age. Her appearance and demeanor gave him a strange sense of familiarity as she sat in the main seat, gazing at him kindly.
It wasn't just the old woman.
Sasuke also noticed that on either side of her were about a dozen young men and women with black hair and black eyes. There were no elders or children among them.
Unlike the old woman's kindness, the gazes of these young people made Sasuke feel a mix of emotions.
There was excitement, relief, pity, and even hatred.
Sasuke didn't recognize these people and didn't understand why they were looking at him with such complex emotions.
Then, the old woman sitting in the main seat, with her dignified posture and refined demeanor, spoke to Sasuke with a loving expression: "Child, welcome home."
As her words fell, everyone in the room, including the old woman, closed their eyes for a moment and then opened them again.
In the next instant, one pair after another of crimson Sharingan eyes blossomed in the darkness, radiating dazzling light.
