Chapter 36: Ch.36 Watchful Eyes In The Arena
In the apartment.
Uchiha Shinji stood still for a long time after returning, finally taking off his disguise: the mask and the cloak.
This time, the fight against the invasion hadn't actually taken much time. The clock on the wall showed that it had taken around forty minutes, but he still felt extremely fatigued.
This burden... It was getting too heavy for him to bear!
He gazed out the window, looking at the peaceful Hidden Leaf Village in the quiet of the night, and an inexplicable sense of loneliness began to grow in his heart. Right now, no one besides him knew about the impending crisis, and he couldn't just shout it out loud.
It seemed that everything had to be silently borne by him, the last remnant of the Uchiha clan.
"Why was I chosen...?"
He began to doubt himself, questioning whether he even had the capability to prevent the destruction of the ninja world.
However, he didn't allow this pessimistic thought to spread further. Instead, he quickly collected his thoughts, focusing on finding a solution.
The burden was already on his shoulders—he had no choice but to carry it!
As a Junior Lampbearer, he now had the ability to recruit two attendants.
