Chapter 421 Cleaning and Memories
After making it clear to Kakashi, Obito felt much refreshed, so he said goodbye to Kakashi and walked out of the training team.
But when he walked out of the training team, he looked at the sparse trees in front of him and looked up at the blue sky. The weather was very good today, cloudless and sunny, and he suddenly felt confused again.
Konoha is very good now, but it has nothing to do with him. He is like an outsider, incompatible with this place.
He has no home here, his grandmother has passed away long ago, and he has no relatives in Konoha.
He doesn't know where he is going now, he has nowhere to go.
Boundless loneliness suddenly surrounded him, making him feel empty and lonely.
Looking at Obito who was suddenly stunned on the spot, Nagaze asked aloud: "What's wrong? I suddenly fell into a daze here."
"It's nothing, I just find that I don't seem to have anywhere to go." Obito looked away and said with some melancholy.
Now he is truly homeless.
If Kakashi wasn't married, he could hang out with Kakashi, but Kakashi already had children, so he was too embarrassed to go there.
"There's no place left. Your house in Uchiha won't be used by the clan so quickly." Nagazawa complained when he saw Obito starting to suppress the clouds.
Konoha has always been in a situation where there are fewer people and more land. Land shortage does not exist, so the Obito family's house will not be expropriated.
At most, it may have become very dirty because no one has lived in it for several years. This is true.
But dirty things like this are not a problem for ninjas. They can directly create a dozen multiple shadow clones and work more than ten times faster, and it is not easy to clean up quickly.
"Aren't you ready to go back to Uchiha?" Nagazawa asked.
"If all those things about me are exposed, it might make it difficult for Uchiha." Obito said with concern.
"That's right." Yongze touched his chin and thought.
He is still continuously reducing the conflicts between Konoha and Uchiha. If the Obito incident is revealed, on the one hand, Konoha residents and ordinary ninjas will have a backlash, and their hatred towards the Uchiha clan will increase, and Nagazawa and others will be
Years of hard work conjuring up some conspiracy theory.
On the other hand, some dishonest Uchiha will have some bad thoughts when they see that there is another person in the Uchiha clan with such strong strength.
Therefore, the fact that Obito is the masked man of Kyuubi Night cannot be exposed in a short time, and can only be known to a few people.
Otherwise, Yongze's efforts over the years may be in vain.
"Let's do this. We will announce to the outside world that you were seriously injured in the Third Ninja World. You later went into exile in the Ninja World and recently returned to Konoha with difficulty." Nagazawa thought of a good reason.
In fact, this reason is only for Uchiha. After all, Obito's social circle is not large and the people he knows are limited.
"Yes." Obito nodded in agreement. He didn't want to cause any more trouble to the Uchiha clan.
Then Nagazawa and Obito walked to the Uchiha clan's residence and found Obito's former house.
Obito lives in a very ordinary wooden country two-story house with a small yard, which is a very common configuration here.
There is a common broad-leaved tree in the yard, its green leaves shining brightly in the sunlight. Although no one takes care of it, it is still growing well.
The yard was very dirty, and it was a mess as far as the eye could see. There were plastic rubbish blown in from nowhere, and unknown weeds growing haphazardly everywhere.
"It seems like a big project." Yongze commented as he looked around the yard.
Destroying this yard is easy, Obito can do it with a fireball, but cleaning it up is not that easy.
"Actually, you can issue a D-level mission and let the genin take care of it." Nagazawa suddenly thought of a good idea.
D-level tasks are all about groceries, either looking for cats or picking up trash, so it makes sense to clean up the yard and so on.
"It's better to tidy up your own home. I'll do it myself. Senior Yongze, you can go and talk to the clan leader about my affairs first, and then come to my place in the evening. It should be tidied up by then."
Obito declined Nagazawa's proposal. When he first became a ninja, he hated those D-level tasks of finding cats to pick up trash. Cleaning this courtyard house that has been unoccupied for five or six years is much more tiring than looking for cats, so it's better not to do it.
Leave some bad memories for those genin.
Moreover, it is also advantageous to tidy up by yourself, so as to prevent some familiar items from being thrown away as garbage, and you can reminisce about the past.
"Okay." Nagazawa nodded, walked out of Obito's yard, and walked towards Uchiha Fugaku's home.
Watching Nagaze leave, Obito withdrew his eyes, closed the courtyard door, moved his body, and quickly formed seals.
"The art of multiple shadow clones!"
Bang bang bang!!!
Lines of white smoke exploded, and more than a dozen figures instantly appeared in the dilapidated courtyard.
"You clean the door, you clean this side, you clean that side..." Obito arranged different positions for each shadow clone and cleaned them at the same time.
However, Obito did not arrange for the shadow clone to clean the inside of the house. He prepared the main body to clean the inside of the house himself.
When he opened the door, Obito felt a large amount of dust coming from the floor.
Waving his palms to blow away the dust around him, Obito looked inside and saw the familiar four-legged wooden dining table. Everything was so familiar, but it was covered with a thick layer of dust.
Obito walked onto the wooden floor, which was perfectly covered with dust. Naturally, there was no need to take off his shoes and change them.
He walked into the kitchen and tried to start the induction cooker, but found that there was no power at all or it was broken.
Finally, Obito walked up to the second floor and opened the door to his own room.
After walking in, Obito looked to the right. There was a double-open glass window there, and there was also a desk and chairs. To the right of the desk was a full bookshelf, where Obito used to often read and study.
The height of the desk is just at the same level as the bottom of the window. When you sit there and read, you can look at the blue sky outside through the window and the people on the street.
Obito walked to the desk. There was a picture frame on the desk, which was about four-fifths the size of a single glass window.
There is nothing else on the photo frame, only a photo of a girl named Nohara Rin. It is not a big one, but many small photos grouped together.
There are photos from the ninja school days and photos from the ninja period. In the photos, Lin's expression is the same, with a bright smile, as if there is no such word as sadness in this girl's world.
Obito stretched out his hand to touch the photo, but in the end he only touched dust on his hand. Thanks to the protection of the photo frame, the photo inside was not stained.
Obito was originally going to wipe it with his sleeve, but after thinking that it was the ANBU uniform given by Nagazawa, he found an old piece of clothing to use as a rag and wiped the photo frame carefully.
After wiping it once, Obito looked at it carefully again and felt that it was still not clean, so he wiped it carefully twice.
Now the photo frame is completely clean, and the dust in the small gaps has been wiped away.
Obito sat on the chair as before and placed the photo frame against the window, just covering four-fifths of the right window.
At this time, there was nothing else in Obito's sight, only Lin's photo.
In the past, when he wanted to give up, he would do this, stand up Lin's photo, so that only Lin's existence was in his sight. When he recalled Lin's words of encouragement in his heart, courage and belief would continue to emerge.
.
Obito just watched in silence for twenty minutes.
Twenty minutes later, Obito took a deep breath, carefully put away the photos, then went downstairs and started cleaning up the inside of the room.
……………………
When Nagazawa arrived at Fugaku's house, he saw everyone in the Fugaku family at a glance. Fugaku stood in front of Itachi in the yard and didn't know what he was talking about. Uchiha Mikoto and Sasuke sat on the wooden walkway built around the house.
, but Sasuke obviously didn't want to stay by his mother's side, and kept trying to walk next to his brother, curious about what his father was whispering to his brother.
For a ninja of Fugaku's level, and whether Nagazawa had deliberately hidden it, he was naturally discovered by Fugaku as soon as he entered.
Fugaku stopped teaching his eldest son. Just now he was teaching Itachi the technique of fire escape.
Itachi has already advanced to the semi-finals of this extraordinary Chunin Exam, and if he advances again, he will be in the finals.
This Chuunin Exam is different from the previous ones. Not only is the number of people and the quality far better than the previous ones, but also because the Raikage, Tsuchikage and Kazekage gather together, it is given some special meaning.
If he could win the Chunin Exam, it would definitely be good for the family. Having reached this point, Fugaku certainly wanted Itachi to win the final victory.
Therefore, he did not miss even the last few days, put aside some affairs in the clan, and personally taught Itachi Fire Release, imparting all kinds of experience to Itachi.
"Assistant Nagazawa, are you here to see Itachi?" Fugaku asked Nagazawa.
Nothing happened to Uchiha recently, and Itachi is Nagazawa's disciple, so Uchiha Fugaku felt that Nagazawa should have come to find Itachi.
After hearing Fugaku's words, Itachi also looked at Nagaze and said hello to Nagaze.
Nagaze stepped forward and touched Itachi's head, but shook his head and said, "No, I'm not here to see Itachi, I'm here to see you. I want to talk to you about Uchiha."
"About Uchiha..." Fugaku looked serious. If it was about Uchiha, then it was business.
Fugaku let Itachi practice on his own first, and then took Nagaze to the living room.
"I wonder if Fugaku still remembers an Uchiha boy named Uchiha Obito." Nagazawa asked.
"Uchiha Obito, I have the impression that he died during the Third Ninja War."
Because Obito's talent was average, he was said by many of his peers to be the weakest of the Uchiha clan. In addition, Obito was a disciple of Minato, so Uchiha Fugaku had some impression of him, but he was still a little confused as to why things happened with a
Relevant to people who have 'died'.
It's not like Uchiha Obito came to life again and returned to Konoha.
"Once, his teammates thought he had died on the battlefield, so they reported it. However, in fact, Uchiha Obito was not dead, but was seriously injured and wandered in the ninja world. Now he has returned to Konoha." Nagazawa breathed out.
Finished.
Uchiha Fugaku didn't know how to complain for a while, but he really came back to life and returned to Konoha.
And he felt there was something wrong with Nagaze's explanation.
However, Uchiha Fugaku is a smart man. He knows that there are some things that you can ask and some things that you can not ask.
Things like the addition of an extra Uchiha member don't need to be asked, because they won't have any impact on the Uchiha.
"I understand. I remember that there is no one at home anymore, and the house is abandoned. I will send someone to clean it up briefly." Uchiha Fugaku thought for a while and replied.
Nagaze shook his head and said, "That's no need. Obito has returned to his home and is ready to clean up by himself."
"Is there anything else besides this matter?" Uchiha Fugaku asked.
"No more." Yongze said there was only this one thing.
Fugaku's expression remained unchanged, but he felt in his heart that Obito's matter might not be simple, and Nagaze came here just to talk about this matter.
Nagazawa had nothing to do, so he stayed at Fugaku's house for a while, teasing Sasuke.
"Little Sasuke, you should respectfully call me Lord Nagazawa, or Assistant Nagazawa." Nagazawa teased Sasuke.
"It's Sasuke, not little Sasuke." Sasuke puffed up his cheeks and looked at Nagazawa unhappily. This man, like the red-haired aunt, always couldn't understand human speech. His name was Sasuke, not little Sasuke!
"Okay, Sasuke-chan." Nagazawa said in a serious tone.
Sasuke:......
Hard, hard. The fist is hard.
At this time Itachi walked up to Sasuke and rubbed Sasuke's little head. Sasuke showed an expression of enjoyment and rubbed his brother's chest.
"Sasuke, Mr. Nagazawa is a great ninja and his brother's teacher. You can't disrespect him." Itachi said, touching Sasuke's little head.
Now that his brother had said it, Sasuke stood in front of Nagazawa honestly no matter how reluctant he was, and said with a straight face: "I'm sorry, Nagazawa, assistant."
Nagaze smiled, pinched Sasuke's little face and said, "What does it look like for a child to say something with a straight face? You have to say it with a smile to be sincere."
Sasuke forced the corners of his mouth to raise, forming an extremely twisted smile.
Yongze was stunned for a moment, then laughed twice, rummaged around, and shook his head regretfully. He didn't have a camera on him, so he couldn't record this interesting expression.
‘From now on, I have to carry a camera with me at all times to record happiness at any time.’ Nagaze said in his heart.
Seeing Nagazawa laughing suddenly, Sasuke felt extremely traumatized in his heart. A layer of mist appeared in his clear big eyes, and he hid directly behind Itachi.
"Brother, he just wants to bully me." Sasuke's young face bulged into a small bun, and he complained to his brother angrily.
Itachi looked at Nagaze and Sasuke behind him, and fell into deep thought.
