The Senju Remnants Of The Uchiha Clan

Your ramen is ready, please enjoy."

"Thank you, you've worked hard." The old man with a black cloth wrapped around his eyes thanked him. He fumbled to pick up the bowl of noodles and smelled it… Eh? It smells pretty good... It doesn't seem as bad as the rumors say…

Toyotaka turned to look at Setsuna, who was sitting next to the old man, with a flattering smile on his face: "Elder Setsuna, would you like to eat? I'll make you a bowl too?"

"Roll."

"Okay—"

Seeing Toyotaka's lackey-like appearance, Setsuna's eyes twitched. No, where was your courage when you blocked my door with a kitchen knife?

"Cough, cough, cough, wait a moment."

The blind old man put down his chopsticks with a painful look on his face. He stopped Toyotaka, who was about to leave obediently and started taking out his wallet.

"Oh my Huoji-sama, you can't do that! I treated you to this meal; you don't have to pay."

(T/N: For those who read it as Hikaku, I change the character names to Huoji.)

"I didn't intend to pay! You, take my wallet and go to Ramen Ichiraku to buy me a bowl of noodles! Really, how come such a disgusting ramen shop hasn't closed down yet! Your child can still grow up healthy under such torture, which is also a rare talent…"

Toyotaka: "…"

Setsuna also chimed in: "Now that Shiratori is rich, you bastard should quickly close the ramen shop… Every time the ninjas of the family think about having to eat your noodles after the mission, their whole expression becomes gloomy."

Toyotaka: "…"

As soon as Shiratori came downstairs, he saw his father standing frozen in place; his face turned gray and white, and he looked like he would break if touched lightly.

"Who is this?" 

He saw the only blind old man he had never seen before.

A tall figure, a black robe, and a black cloth covering his eyes…

Oh my god! An elderly version of Cyclops?!

… …

"So you are not blind?"

"Um."

"Just can't see the sun for some reason?"

"Um."

"Your eyes really can't emit lasers? The kind that starts to make indiscriminate attacks once you take off the black cloth?"

Huoji Uchiha: "…"

Okay, stop asking! How could such a question come out of your mouth?!

Who knows that kind of thing?!

Is it really okay for Setsuna to choose you as his successor? Why do I feel like you're a little off-kilter?

In fact, Shiratori didn't want to cause trouble; he just wanted to verify something.

This old man named Huoji Uchiha was invited by Setsuna to be responsible for protecting his safety for the next month; he will not interfere with any decisions of the team and can be completely ignored.

Setsuna is far more afraid of Danzo than Shiratori imagined. He suspects that the disappearance of several clansmen over the years is related to Danzo, but he has not obtained conclusive evidence.

But Shiratori was extremely confused by the old man's decision.

Not to mention that this old man is obviously unable to move. At that time, will he protect me, or will he protect him? The composition of the Konoha team is decided by the Hokage. Is it really okay to just stuff someone in like this?

Does the third Hokage know that you found a non-staff member for my team?

However, Setsuna was adamant and forced him to agree to this outrageous decision.

So out of curiosity, Shiratori secretly activated his Sharingan to observe before going out and indeed found some problems.

Although the Sharingan cannot see the flow of Chakra in the Chakra Network as clearly as the Byakugan, the general flow direction, and gathering points can still be observed.

He discovered that all the Chakra in the old man's body was gathering towards his eyes every moment.

But… Isn't the other party blind?

So, on the way to the gathering location outside the gate of Konoha, Shiratori kept hesitating, but when he got outside the gate, someone finally shared his firepower…

Kizashi Haruno stood there with a bald head and a stiff expression.

His bright head can reflect light…

Mebuki and Might Duy next to him were almost laughing like crazy!

"Wait a minute! I remember that I didn't shave your head bald? Didn't I leave some for you?" 

Shiratori felt that his memory was missing something and even suspected that Minato had tampered with his memories again…

Kizashi was extremely angry. Shiratori-sensei, please change your career in the future! 

The dog-bitten hairstyle you designed… Do I have any other choice besides shaving my head?

After some laughter and joking, the group finally set off.

Although the three team members were curious about Huoji Uchiha, since Shiratori didn't mention it, they didn't ask and just treated it as a companion along the way.

That's all…

After several days of traveling, Team Shiratori arrived at the southeast camp to report.

Not surprisingly, they were stopped.

The first thing Danzo Shimura did after taking charge of the southeast camp was to cancel the meeting. The entire southeast camp became his one-man show, and all the key departments here were replaced by ninjas from Root, including the guard forces.

The ninjas from Root didn't waste any words when it came to Huoji Uchiha's existence. They just surrounded him with their weapons in hand as if they were ready to execute the suspicious individual on the spot without even giving him a trial.

Before Shiratori could explain, Huoji Uchiha, the person involved, calmly took out a yellowed scroll from his arms.

"What is this?"

Although it was a question, the ninja's tone did not fluctuate at all, as if he had long lost his human emotions.

"A mission letter signed by one of the two founders of Konoha, the first Hokage, Senju Hashirama."

The four members of Team Shiratoriall looked sideways.

This… Is it so important?

"What does it say? Read it to me." The ninja asked. Even the name of the Hashirama could not change their expressions in the slightest.

"It's written… How the hell am I supposed to read it? Can't you see I'm blind? Should I use my nose to see? Take this to that bastard Danzo; he'll understand."

Even when Huoji put the scroll on their faces, they didn't react like puppets. However, when they heard Huoji call Danzo a bastard, the expressions of several ninjas changed.

Shiratori felt the murderous aura as if it were tangible, and even though he had experienced the Shinobi World War for several years, he still felt surprised.

Kizashi and Mebuki swallowed and subconsciously took a step back.

Might Duy was still heartless, still looking at the people around him with a silly smile…

Facing this murderous aura, Huoji, who was surrounded by ninjas from the root, was not afraid at all: 

"Are you trying to scare me? When I was killing people on the battlefield, your parents were still drinking milk! Get out of here now!"

The leading ninja looked at Huoji deeply, as if he wanted to remember the other's image firmly in his mind, and then turned and left with the scroll without saying a word.

Shiratori was somewhat helpless.

The Uchiha and the Root were already incompatible, and they almost had a conflict just after arriving. His days in the southeast camp were probably not going to be easy…

"Are you blaming me in your heart?"

Huoji turned his head and looked at Shiratori.

"…"

Shiratori didn't say anything.

"No matter how talented they are, a brat is still a brat. How naive!"

Huoji suddenly laughed: "Do you think Danzo will let you go if we don't cause trouble? The bloodline of Uchiha and Senju… Tsk tsk, the research value is too great! Isn't one of the hobbies of that scum, Danzo, to kidnap children for live experiments?"

He said these words in front of all the Root ninjas present…
