Soon, a brand new news spread throughout Konoha.
"Have you heard? Last night, Hokage-sama was actually fighting the secret mastermind who controls the Kyūbi!"
"Let me just say, Hokage-sama is definitely not the kind of person who runs away!"
"But Hokage-sama still failed to catch that person, so he decided to take the blame and resign."
"Huh? That's not true, right?"
"I heard that Hokage-sama retired to capture the secret mastermind by himself."
"Who is the new Hokage, is it Sōseki-sama?"
"It is said that it will be Elder Danzō."
"Huh? Eehhh!"
Uchiha Clan's compound.
Fugaku listened to the reports of his subordinates with a complicated expression, and then sighed after a long while, "You can go first."
"Yes."
After his subordinate leave, Mikoto walked over from the side, "It's really good luck for the Uchiha Clan to have a friend like Sōseki -sama!"
"Friend?" Fugaku shook his head helplessly, "I've always been in contact with the others with the intention of making good friends, but what about Sōseki? He took the initiative to give up the Hokage's position for me, an incompetent guy, and was even forced to leave! A despicable person like me is not worthy of being his friend!"
"Don't talk about yourself like that." Mikoto comforted, "You are also doing it for the Uchiha Clan's future, and do you think that with Sōseki-sama's wisdom, he can't see through the thoughts you have deliberately given?"
"Because of this that I am even more ashamed!" Fugaku sighed and said as he gently rubbed Itachi's head, "Itachi, your useless father has nothing to teach you. But there is only one thing that I hope you can promise me."
"If your sincere friends and loved ones are in trouble, you must protect them no matter what, this is what the real man do!"
"For that, no matter how difficult the road ahead is, you have to face it... I want you to be that kind of man!"
Itachi nodded longingly, "I will definitely become a man like Sōseki-sama!"
...
Hyūga Clan's compound.
"Huh! I'm so glad!" After receiving the news about the Uchiha Clan, Hiashi breathed a sigh of relief.
"It is gladding indeed!" Hizashi rarely agreed.
As Konoha's second strongest clan, and often be compared with the Uchiha Clan, the public always thought that the Hyūga Clan seem to have a dislike for the Uchiha Clan, who is always pressing them, and hope that the Uchiha Clan will be in trouble.
But it is not true.
It's true that they don't have good feelings towards the Uchiha Clan, but they definitely don't want the Uchiha Clan to fall.
The reason Hyūga Clan can develop with peace of mind is mostly because the Uchiha Clan has attracted the others' hatred as the strongest clan.
Without the Uchiha Clan, they can't guarantee that the attitude of Konoha's higher-ups towards them will be as gentle as it is now.
"I just didn't expect that Sōseki-sama could do this for the Uchiha Clan!" Hiashi said with emotion.
"It is because Sōseki-sama really loves this village!" Hizashi said excitedly, "For the sake of his friends and for the sake of the village, he never cared about his own interests!"
"Yeah! Sōseki-sama is such a broad-minded man!" Hiashi agreed.
"Such a man, I really want to follow him at all costs!" Hizashi's eyes are full of admiration, "I believe that he is someone who can change the world!"
Hiashi at Hizashi in surprise, it was the first time he saw such an expression in his younger brother's eyes.
'It's because of the fate of the Branch House that made him yearn for someone who can bring change!' Hiashi sighed in his heart, and then said seriously, "Don't forget, you still have Neji!"
"Yeah, I still have Neji!" Hizashi took a deep breath and said with a firm look in his eyes, "I will train Neji well and let him fulfill my dream instead of me!"
...
Konoha's gate, Sōseki's friends surrounded him in the middle.
Because they have scolded Danzō many times, no one cares about him anymore.
"Sōseki, can we leave with you?" Kurenai asked hopefully, blinking her big eyes.
"Well, we can help you too!" Shizune nodded again and again like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Don't be silly, I'm going out this time to carry out a mission. How can I take you away with me?" Sōseki gently patted their heads, "Besides, I'm only leaving temporarily, and it's not that I can't come back. Maybe, after you go out to perform a mission, I'll be in the village when you come back!"
Relatively speaking, Asuma and the others behaved more freely... if you ignore the tears in their eyes.
"You bastard, don't forget about training when you are outside!" Asuma and Sōseki fistbumped, "Just you wait, next time you come back, you will already be overtaken by me!"
Sōseki smiled and said, "I'll remember those words. If I come back next time and find that you haven't made any progress, don't blame me for laughing at you!"
Guy showed his shiny teeth and gave a thumbs up, "Senpai, Youth will last forever, and even if we can't train together, as long as we're under the same sky, I can feel your fiery heart!"
Sōseki didn't know whether to cry or laugh when he heard this, "I understand, I won't forget to train!"
Kakashi walked out with a cold expression, hesitated to say anything, and then he finally said, "Senpai, take care!"
Sōseki smiled and said, "Don't always stay in the past, you need to look forward more."
…
After everyone gives their blessings, Sōseki left without looking back.
He is not hard-hearted, and leaving everyone is a very difficult choice for him.
However, he couldn't stop.
'Sorry, I have to follow the path I planned. Before the Ōtsutsuki comes, I... must become stronger!'
According to his previous life, this means that if you pick up a gun, you can't hug them, and if you put it down, you can't protect them.
After Sōseki left, the atmosphere was very silent, and many people even sobbed quietly.
Seeing this, Asuma looked at Mizuki and said with a smile, "Mizuki, I thought you would follow him desperately!"
Mizuki gave him a sideways look and said, "Idiot! It's best help for Sōseki if I stay in the village!"
"Who are you talking about..." Asuma stared at him and suddenly paused, "Wait, staying in the village is the best help for Sōseki, what does this mean?"
"Sōseki will definitely be back!" Mizuki said firmly, "And before he returns, I will manage everything in the village for him!"
"Manage?"
"People are forgetful. Isn't Danzō intending to erase Sōseki's traces and eliminate his influence through time? As long as I stay in the village, this kind of thing will never happen!"
Hearing him say this, everyone also cheered up.
"That's right, we can help Sōseki by staying in the village!"
"It's decided then, we must let Danzō know our strength!"
