Chapter 112 - Chapter 112: Before, I Had No Choice

"I will be there on time."

Qingchuan replied indifferently.

The Uchiha glanced at her once more.

After confirming, he disappeared.

And Qingchuan.

After the Uchiha left, immediately drew his sword.

Continuing to slash...

To this day.

For the so-called large clan gatherings, the so-called gatherings.

He... didn't feel much about them anymore.

Before, he had no choice.

It was all for survival...

But now?

All that was lacking... was waiting for the night of the massacre to arrive, and then, completing the mission.

Of course.

If Itachi had a pang of conscience and abandoned the massacre, or chose to postpone it...

He would not hesitate to take the rewards and run away.

Without the slightest bit of sentimentality...

Still tirelessly slashing away for an afternoon.

Even after obtaining the power of Bankai.

Qingchuan's training remained the same.

Even more so...

Like a diligent king, the more the kingdom developed and prospered under his efforts.

The more diligent the king became, the more he cherished it...

After learning Bankai.

Qingchuan's perspective had also increased quite a bit...

Soon, it was time for the Uchiha's announced gathering.

Qingchuan sheathed his sword, calculated the time, and unhurriedly walked towards the Uchiha Clan Compound.

Very calm.

Walking on the road.

Still met with gazes that were somewhat fearful, but still couldn't help but look at him.

A delicate and lovely girl, wearing the Uchiha clan crest.

This was inherently a complex contradiction...

Qingchuan was long used to it.

The professional smile on his face remained the same.

Just walking silently, he soon arrived at the Uchiha Clan Compound.

Although he had only passed through a few streets.

But... when he stepped into the Uchiha Clan Compound.

The two worlds seemed to have been directly reversed.

Outside the Uchiha Clan Compound in Konoha.

Flourishing, lively, but people's eyes were somewhat cold, even carrying a strong sense of vigilance.

The Uchiha Clan Compound was somewhat desolate.

Because this clan didn't have many members, and most of the talented young people had voluntarily joined the Konoha Military Police Force, to guard the clan's honor.

But when such a person stepped into the Uchiha Clan Compound.

Even though she was wearing a somewhat stern Shihakushō and carried a long sword at her waist.

The gazes from the Uchiha clansmen were incredibly warm...

"Little Haruko is back? You've become even more beautiful!"

"Uncle hasn't seen you in a long time!"

"Have you eaten?"

...

Greetings like these constantly echoed in the streets.

Qingchuan politely responded to each one.

But at the same time, Qingchuan's heart gradually grew puzzled.

Frankly speaking.

The Uchiha clan was quite united.

Even if they were outwardly dismissive and arrogant.

The more that was the case, the more friendly the Uchiha clansmen were to each other.

He just didn't know how Itachi could bring himself to do it...

So many families, so many bonds.

To just cut them down.

But...

It didn't matter anymore.

If Itachi's sword really pointed at him.

Then these innocent, ordinary Uchiha might survive.

Qingchuan had that confidence.

After walking for a while.

Qingchuan followed the route in his memory and arrived at the Uchiha clan's Naka Shrine.

There were already many people there.

But most of them were ninjas, it seemed this gathering was inherently held for ninjas.

Qingchuan's arrival.

Inevitably attracted many people's attention.

A graceful and lovely girl, wearing a stern Shihakushō, with a sword at her waist.

The seriousness carried a peaceful aura.

People's gazes were somewhat amazed.

Standing at the head of the group with his arms crossed, the Uchiha clan head, Fugaku Uchiha.

Also saw the girl's arrival.

A hint of satisfaction flashed in his tranquil eyes...

After a long time, the girl had grown up a lot.

And had become more silent...

It was a pity.

He heard that the girl had voluntarily applied to leave ANBU.

Voluntarily leave...

Was she tired of the ANBU life?

That was fine.

After leaving ANBU, she should return to the Uchiha clan sooner.

Feeling Fugaku's gaze.

This familiar scene, familiar gaze.

Qingchuan's heart no longer held any of the panic he had felt back then.

He raised his head, smiling faintly, looked at Fugaku, and nodded slightly.

Their eyes met.

The scene was so similar to that of the past.

But now...

With Bankai in hand, Qingchuan clearly had the confidence.

Fugaku also nodded.

The satisfaction in his eyes grew stronger, and even his stern face couldn't help but wear a smile...

He had to let his son take more time out...

Not attending such large gatherings was not okay.

Being busy with ANBU work all day, he couldn't miss out on things he shouldn't miss...

But just then.

Being in the gathering, Qingchuan suddenly sensed something abnormal.

His eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Spiritual Perception was fully activated.

Sure enough, in a corner slightly away from here.

Qingchuan discovered such an aura.

Cold, cruel, even somewhat crazy.

And like most of the Uchiha clansmen on the field, it carried a strong sense of arrogance.

But compared to the Uchiha on the field...

The visitor's aura was clearly colder.

This was an Uchiha whose eyes had received enough nourishment.

From love came hate, and he had evolved to a certain extent.

Obito Uchiha.

The smile on Qingchuan's face remained.

Obito's arrival was sudden enough, but also expected.

But again...

Senbonzakura in his hand could already unleash Bankai.

He had nothing to fear...

Before, he had no choice, but now...

"Look if you want to."

"Anyway, you're not the only one."

Qingchuan murmured, his smile still the same...
