Naruto: As a genin, I just want to live a normal life.

Gradually, the power of the fire and force was eliminated, and it slowly fell to the floor below with a thud.

At the same time, Feng Yi and Bai Xing both landed and found their respective landing spots. Bai Xing landed on the rooftop of a building, while Feng Yi landed on the street floor further ahead.

"why?"

"Why did you intervene, Misaka!!"

In Feng Yi's opinion, if Mikoto hadn't taken action, Shirahoshi might have been killed by her, or at least seriously injured.

Either way, it would be in their favor! But Mikoto shattered this illusion!

"I'm sorry, Sister Fengyi. I can't bear to see Baixing die a second time in front of me." Mikoto was already in tears.

Clearly, it was Mikoto who just used Fire Release, and she skillfully controlled the area-of-effect damage when using it...

"Your strength has improved again, Mikoto," Shirahoshi exclaimed.

“But Miss Fengyi, you don’t need to get so agitated. Even without Mikoto, you can’t hurt me.”

"Stop talking nonsense! Who do you think you are..."

The sudden stop in her speech wasn't due to being interrupted by someone else's words, but rather because the sudden appearance of Shirahoshi in front of her really startled Feng Yi!

No, impossible! How could it be so fast!

Feng Yi reacted and tried to throw a punch, but only hit a blur of afterimages. The real Bai Xing simply turned to the side and raised her knee.

"I'm just giving in to you, Miss Fengyi."

boom!

The knee struck Feng Yi hard in the stomach, sending her rolling further down the street in front of Bai Xing.

After stopping, Feng Yi finally came to her senses from the intense pain she had just experienced.

"puff--"

Feng Yi spat out a mouthful of bitter water. At that moment, her stomach felt as if someone had forcibly tied a rope around a spot, and she felt a tearing pain!

"Uh, ah, uh—"

The speed was too fast; Feng Yi didn't even have time to use her Stand before being hit by Shirahoshi's attack.

"Fengyi!" Mikoto rushed over upon seeing this, but Shirahoshi blocked her way and grabbed her by the neck. Mikoto didn't even use her Sharingan to resist; she just slapped Shirahoshi's hand away, saying, "Let go of me... Hoshi... please don't do anything wrong again... okay?"

Shirahoshi sighed slightly. Now was not the right time for the Uchiha to leave Konoha. Compared to the other ninjas who knew his identity and only had one or two family members, Mikoto's burden was far too heavy.

call out!call out!call out!

"Release the Uchiha ninja!"

"Damn it, that looks like a Jonin from the Uchiha clan..."

"Not only that, but there are also the young Uchiha clan leader and another Jonin on the ground."

"They couldn't even take down three Jonin?!"

Anbu and Konoha ninjas appeared all around. There were at least twenty of them.

among them,

Yuhi Ryuun, a Jonin who stayed behind, also appeared among them.

"Shirahoshi! How could it be you!"

"Shirahoshi?" The other ninjas around him exchanged glances, as if they had heard the name somewhere before...

At this moment, Hirata Shinichi, who had just finished his previous mission on the Fire and Wind battlefield, suddenly focused his gaze.

The streetlights were bright, and although they were some distance from Bai Xing, they weren't too far away. They were enough to complement the moonlight and allow everyone to see Bai Xing's face clearly.

"Shirahoshi, a genin from Konoha."

"I never imagined our reunion would turn into an enemy affair." Shinichi Hirata slowly exhaled a breath of stale air. "Did you come back simply to kill your ex-girlfriend, Shirahoshi?!"

Upon hearing this, Mikoto's expression changed.

However, Shirahoshi discovers Shinichi Hirata's calculated manipulation through language.

"You're truly amazing, Shinichi-senpai."

"You want Mikoto to finally harden her heart and attack me, is that it?"

Shinichi Hirata did not respond, but that speaks volumes.

Then, Shirahoshi leaped upwards, and the shockwave of Earth Release suddenly erupted from the ground...

"This is your backup plan, isn't it, senior?"

At the end of the street, less than 100 meters away, behind a corner wall, the real Shinichi Hirata stood on the street and slammed his fist on the ground to complete the long-range earth-escape attack.

"Damn it, did we fail?"

Shirahoshi grabbed Mikoto and leaped high into the air.

Just then, a black shadow streaked across the sky and flew straight toward Bai Xing!

"Secret Technique: Shadow Tentacles!"

This attack was performed by a Nara Jonin who used hand seals; the tentacles were intended to rescue Mikoto.

next second.

Shirahoshi and Mikoto were both grabbed by the shadow tentacles cast by the Jonin man.

"Well done, Suzaku!"

"No problem." The young Nara Suzaku smiled slightly, thinking to himself that this time it could finally stop...

boom! !

Before Nara Suzaku could even feel happy, the shadow tentacles above him exploded!

Shirahoshi emerged from within, stepping on invisible air, making it appear as if he were grabbing Mikoto and flying off in one direction...

"This is outrageous! To be able to fly on air... Shirahoshi, what are you..." Shinichi Hirata witnessed all of this and was extremely shocked.

"Don't just stand there! Chase after them!" Nara Suzaku's secret technique was broken, and he quickly broke the silence.

"Oh! Quick! Chase them!"

"The rest of us will stay behind to check on their physical condition. You guys go after them!"

"Yeah!"xN

Four ANBU members volunteered to stay behind, while the other twenty-odd ninjas nodded in agreement and chased after Shirahoshi.

......

A forest on the outskirts of Konoha Village.

All around were Konoha ninja patrols assisting the Uchiha squad in their pursuit of the masked man.

The masked man stood on a large tree, watching Shirahoshi arrive as if walking on thin air, and teased:

"Senior~ Did you bring back a woman?"

"Oh. She's holding on tight, it's really annoying." Shirahoshi looked down at Mikoto, who was still clinging to her arm, and exchanged a glance with the woman.

Then, he threw a punch directly at Mikoto's face.

Mikoto's face turned red instantly.

But she still didn't give up.

"Senior is so cruel~" The fighting was done by Shirahoshi's clone, but the speaking was done by Tobi.

"It's good enough if she doesn't end up like the Konoha ninjas on the ground." Shirahoshi looked down and saw that all the Konoha ninjas below were injured to varying degrees and had fainted.

"Why, Hoshino, what are you trying to do? Why are you walking with this man?!" Mikoto hadn't forgotten Afei's appearance and glared at him angrily.

"It was you! You were the one who bewitched Xing, weren't you!"

Afei was taken aback, then let out a mocking laugh: "Hehehehe—so what? This unlovable lady."

"asshole!!"

"Mikoto, would you like to join us and help us achieve this great ideal?" Shirahoshi said.

“Ideal? What…you mean…” Mikoto thought of that incident from back then, and now she finally had the answer, “If Infinite Tsukuyomi can really bring peace, then why didn’t the Sage of Six Paths use it!”

"Because he failed."

This time, Fei was replaced, and Shirahoshi's clone spoke.

His voice was deep and hoarse, remarkably similar to that of Madara Uchiha.

"And I will become the second Six Paths."

"To fulfill his dream."

"Then can you tell me what your basis is?" Mikoto was obviously not a fool. Unlike Madara, she had many friends and family. It was impossible for her to give up everything to directly believe in something like Infinite Tsukuyomi, even for Shirahoshi's sake.

This is why Shirahoshi didn't tell Mikoto the truth.

"Hasn't reality already given us the answer?" the masked man said calmly. "Endless war, endless hatred, when will it ever end?"

"Can you stop it?"

"still me?"

“I tried to use my power to change things, but my former friend stopped me.”

"But I also learned something from that incident."

“Power is not absolute. Even if I possessed the strongest power in the world, I could not truly achieve peace.”

"You're wrong, Madara. I am the strongest in the world right now," Shirahoshi interrupted her clone, adding, "Peace is not a matter for one person alone."

“Strength is just a foundation.”

"Peace cannot be achieved in a year or two. It requires a long-term plan."

If the war is not resolved and there is constant fighting, with ninjas acting impulsively and killing indiscriminately every day, then he will never be able to live a peaceful life.

So what if the world fears him? Does he have no weaknesses? Absolutely not? In Boruto, even the Daimyo's son was kidnapped and almost replaced. If he had a child or something, wouldn't that happen too?

Second.
