Chapter 329: I Have The Right
Just as the conversation settled into a brief silence, a young girl approached them. She bowed respectfully.
Fugaku and Mikoto recognized her instantly, yet she was older than they remembered—a jump from thirteen to a young woman standing before them.
"Excuse me," she said, "I am Izumi Uchiha. Forgive the interruption. I wanted to ask... what happened to—"
"Your body?" John smoothly interjected, catching her off guard. "Your lord Arthur knew how you felt about Itachi, who is now older himself. So he used his method to grow your body to his age. You are the only Uchiha altered in this manner."
Izumi's expression lowered.
"Do you regret coming back in an older body?" John asked, scanning her eyes.
Clearly she was uncertain about this all since her gaze was toward the ground before meeting theirs again.
"I appreciate lord Arthur for bringing everyone back," she admitted, "but... why weren't my mother and father brought back?"
That was an interesting question, so John answered, "Those Uchihas who died during the Nine-Tails' attack were too far gone to return..."
The whole truth was that they were deemed too useless in Arthur's eyes.
At this, Izumi accepted the answer with a solemn nod, though she still felt disturbed over her more mature frame.
