Chapter 417: Naruto: I am Uchiha Shirou [417]
Konoha.
In the lodging of the Tsuchikage from Iwagakure.
With satisfied smiles, Ino Yamanaka and Temari both beamed happily.
Beside them, Kurotsuchi's legs were trembling, clearly exhausted, as she panted heavily for breath.
Uchiha Shirou, feeling refreshed and clear-headed, was currently outside the door.
"Jonin Keyaru, this is a mission from the Hokage."
Seeing the new mission, Shirou's eyes lit up in realization. It seemed the Seventh Hokage had called for backup after learning Kaguya Otsutsuki had broken free from her seal.
"The Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, huh."
Shirou narrowed his eyes, glancing toward the Hokage's office, a faintly amused smile curling at his lips.
"Maybe it's not just a mission. After breaking free from hypnosis, I bet the Seventh Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki, is using this mission as an excuse to separate me, to give himself a chance to fix everything.
As expected of the Child of Destiny—even now, he never considered quietly getting rid of me behind the scenes."
