God Grace to Uchiha - Chapter 8
Chapter 8 Windfall
Konoha, in front of the Memorial Monument.
Under normal circumstances, except for special holidays, few people come here. It’s not that the people of Konoha are indifferent, but the sacrifices made in the war are too great.
Although Konoha initially achieved victory in the war, the casualties paid were really huge. The cemetery where the commemorative monument is located is densely packed with tombstones, carrying countless sorrows and sadness. If it were not to pay homage to their loved ones, most people would not come here.
But now there are two unusual people, one with white hair, standing here for a long time; the other with short black hair, walking staggeringly in the other direction with a bundle of white flowers in his arms.
Shin apparently came to pay homage, but actually he came for Kakashi. During this time, he carefully recalled the details in the original work. After finding no help, he decided to break through from the easiest place.
As he found after analysis, Kakashi was the most likely link to leak the news. He is not only Hokage’s most trusted disciple, but also a member of the Jinchuuriki’s protection operations. He also likes to beep at “dead people”! No matter what, Shin wants to eliminate this “dangerous link” that is the only one he can get!
Of course it’s not to kill people and silence them, and you can’t beat them yourself.
Shin’s plan is very simple and crude, which is to interrupt Kakashi every day when he beeps. If an “outsider” like himself is present, especially an outsider from the Uchiha clan, Kakashi still can’t control what he says.
That was the fate of Hokage.
As for this news being released by Danzo or gathered by Black Zetsu, he is not sure. And he can’t stop that from happening.
He can eliminate just one of these options.
Shin spent a few days and roughly figured out the frequency of Kakashi’s visits to the monument – about once a week, almost always on weekend afternoons and evenings. Shin guessed that it was because of his busy schedule. Kakashi was not idle enough to get lost on the road of life every day at the beginning of the plot.
Shin didn’t go for reconnaissance secretly. With his untrained stealth skills, others had discovered him from long distance. It would be better to show it openly to others, which would eliminate any negative possibilities.
“Wait a mininute!”
This is the first time Kakashi has said to Shin in so many days. He discovered this strange Uchiha tribesman very early – the fan behind his back was easy to recognize, but he didn’t take it to heart.
Although Uchiha is a wealthy family, it is not to the extent that even a child who has not yet gone to ninja school needs special attention. Even in the unlikely event that the other party had any evil intentions, Kakashi didn’t think he could accomplish anything, a little kid under six years old?
Can he still jump up and hit himself in the knee?
There is nothing strange except that I keep seeing the other person hanging around here recently. Kakashi is an excellent ninja, and he is very professional in this aspect of observation. He can be sure that the other party is just wandering around in a circle.
But today is different, he brought such a big bundle of white flower!
What is this for? How many people in his family must have died to need so many flowers to pay tribute?
Involuntarily, Kakashi felt a subtle sympathy for Shin.
Shin didn’t know yet that he was being sympathized by the Konoha King. He was just a little happy that he didn’t have to find an excuse to talk to Kakashi, and it seemed more genuine that the other party took the initiative to speak.
“I’m here to present flowers to you seniors, Kakashi-senpai.”
No need to pretend that you don’t know the other person. As a disciple of the fourth Hokage, the only ninja who is not from the Uchiha clan can obtain the existence of the Sharingan. It would be fine if Shin was born as a civilian. As an Uchiha, it would be too false to say that he did not recognize the other party.
“You know me?”
Okay, some people are really confused.
Kakashi was defeated by Shin’s idiotic look. He didn’t know why he saw the other person’s meaning from the other person’s eyes, and couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed.
Being despised by a brat or something.
Hey! You are a brat yourself!
Kakashi quickly changed the subject: “Why do you suddenly want to pay homage to your seniors? Today is not a special day. I thought your family… was sorry.”
Shin heard the implication of Kakashi’s words, but he didn’t care. Instead, he sighed melancholy: “Oh~ I’m also feeling uneasy, and I hope to rely on this method to make myself feel better.”
“Oh.”
Kakashi has no intention of getting to the bottom of it, who doesn’t have some secrets yet?
But this child looked innocent and had no bad thoughts at all: “My brother has graduated and become a genin and started to perform tasks…”
He paused and said with a worried look on his face: “I heard that there is a war going on recently, and my brother, a genin, goes out of the village every day to perform missions. I asked him if it was a war mission, but he didn’t tell me, so he reassured me and said Nothing will happen to him.”
“That was a war! So many seniors have died, and he is only nine years old this year! If something happens to him, I will be the only one left in our family…”
At this point, Shin almost burst into tears. He squeezed his eyes and found it a little difficult, so he had to lower his head to prevent Kakashi from seeing his current expression.
“I can only come here and pray every day, hoping that the heroic spirits of my predecessors can protect my brother. I don’t ask my brother to achieve great achievements, as long as he survives safely.”
Listen, he is just like a good brother who is worried about his elder brother. Shin gave full play to his acting skills 120%, and in the end he did not forget to put a time limit on his actions: “He told me that he has been very busy in the past few months, and I plan to come over every day. I hope that seniors For the sake of my sincerity, please protect my brother from getting into trouble.”
At the end, he bowed quite formally, and then, without waiting for Kakashi’s reply, he placed flowers and bowed starting from the first place.
This is the method Shin came up with: I won’t disturb you here, so you can’t drive me away, right? What’s more, this is a good deed to pray for and accumulate virtue for my own brother. How politically correct! Do you dare to say no?
In order to prevent Kakashi from coming over when he was away, Shin specially added the adverbial “every day”. Anyway, it was less than two months. Although it was quite expensive, it was worth it if it could eliminate a disaster!
In this world, a mother’s due date can be accurate to the month, but no one knows the specific day. Shin guessed that Kakashi would only know a time range at best, and then wait a few days before Kushina’s attack, before the entire village would enter the alert state of “Jinchūriki giving birth”.
If Konoha is on alert for too long in advance, it will be easy for spies from other villages to make unnecessary speculations, which is very dangerous. This is why Obito was so accurate in his previous life.
Shin didn’t want to completely hide Obito, that was unrealistic, he just needed to be vague about the specific delivery date. It doesn’t matter if Obito knows that it’s October, or even the beginning of October. As long as he can’t know from Kakashi’s mouth when the village will be under martial law, so he can stay on guard during those days, it shouldn’t be a big problem.
Kakashi didn’t expect that there were so many thoughts in the little black hair’s mind. He just felt a little emotional. He didn’t expect that this Uchiha was a little different from other Uchiha people he had met. The words about war actually aroused a lot of emotion in Kakashi, which made him look at the small fan in front of him more favorably – after all, he is a member of Obito’s tribe.
“Hey! What’s your brother’s name?”
“Huh?” Shin was a little confused. He had already finished his performance. According to Kakashi’s character as a cold-faced and arrogant man, he probably wouldn’t talk to him, but he still answered.
“Uchiha Shisui, my brother’s name is Uchiha Shisui.”
Kakashi raised his eyebrows. He had also heard of Shisui’s name, but he didn’t expect it to be that person’s younger brother: “I know, I will also go to the battlefield. If I see your brother, if I can, I will Take care of him.”
Shin didn’t expect that such an unexpected result would be obtained after performing it.
