Chapter 141 Invitation

Konoha.

Hokage Office.

"Years ago toad sage of mount Myoboku had made a prophecy which somewhat matches with the current situation, *Crimson Eclipse Binds! A Lone Wanderer Unites the Fractured the World"

"The first part of this prophecy clearly is similar to the red moon and the chains that bound everyone in the details though I'm still not sure about the rest, also he had mentioned to kill a man with a mark on his forehead who would be the doom of the world"

Jiraiya didn't keep the suspicions in his mind to himself and shared them with everyone in the room, he had already told about the prophecy to kazuki before but the rest still needed to know.

"He doesn't seem to have a mark though?"

Everyone in the room was shocked at his words though orochimaru noticing that the man in the portrait had some differences from the man mentioned in prophecy pointed it out.

"Yes that's why I'm still in doubt if it is that man or not…and I just wanted to share my thoughts so that we could stay vigilant of a potential enemy just in case"

Told Jiraiya with a heavy look on his face.

"Whether or not this prophecy is true or not we can't just ignore it; the man who has the strength to take down two kage rank shinobi along with three thousand shinobi is someone anyone would have to be careful about"

"Still if we try to hunt him down and Kumo's information about him turns out to be false we would end up making a strong enemy for no reason; so I suggest increasing the security of every populated town in the land of fire and just in case he does appear to attack notify back to the village immediately"

Gave Sarutobi his opinion on this matter after a long thought, the plan simply to be more vigilant and not actively sought out trouble.

"Umm!!"

"Hn!"

Everyone in the office agreed with Sarutobi's suggestion, finding it be the best thing to do in the current decision.

So before everyone Kazuki giving orders to send shinobi out to guard the populated towns of land of fire disbanded the meeting.

Thud!

One by one everyone started to leave the office though Kazuki not paying attention to that in a deep thought on his seat.

*Yasuke's infiltration right on the time when I had to leave the office… this is definitely not as simple as it seems*

Kazuki's mind was preoccupied with the matter of scroll of seals being taken away, a lot of things about this incident made him think that it wasn't as simple as it seemed.

First Yasuke was someone who even before the uchiha police force was opened to other clans had a good reputation among villagers compared to the rest of uchiha, Kazuki also found him eligible to enter the anbu not just because of his good reputation but also because he was the brother of late uchiha kagami, shisui's grandfather.

One of the few uchiha's who had a kind heart compared to the rest would suddenly act like this kazuki found it hard to believe, on top of that at the time this incident happened was too perfect.

Kazuki using flying raijin had disappeared suddenly without anyone noticing and for a day no one even knew he was fighting Onoki

and co so definitely when Yasuke infiltrated he knew that Kazuki won't be back for a while.

But how could Yasuke so far from where he was battling know about it in a matter of seconds; this was what puzzling kazuki truly and his mind was working on the speed of light, using his knowledge of this world to come up with a lot of possibilities.

"Is it…?"

Eventually Kazuki ruled out most of the possibilities and focused on the last which could actually explain this bizarre situation perfectly.

Thup!

Just as Kazuki seemed to have figured out

what truly happened, a soft hand was placed on his shoulders bringing him out of his thoughts.

Giving the hand on his shoulder a look Kazuki tilted his head to look up a little, a woman with blonde hair and a beautiful face, donning a blue kimono standing next to him with a somewhat concerned look on her face.

"I was about to leave but saw you so deep in thought; I know hokage is a huge responsibility but you have to take time for yourself as well, don't burn yourself out"

Said Tsunade with a concerned look on her face, her green eyes that gazed at the silver haired man before her hiding a lot of emotions.

At her words Kazuki's tense brows seemed to loosen a bit, a smile appearing on his face and his lips parting.

"I'm somewhat of a medical shinobi myself which you know already Tsunade-San so don't worry I'm maintaining my health, still thanks for the caring words"

Said Kazuki gently in response to her concern, the smile on his face maintained.

"Umm… that's good to hear… well I won't bother you anymore, take care" Saying that with a hint of loss deep in her eyes Tsunade walked towards the door.

"Umm… actually

Kazuki not thinking much about this once again went back to his earlier thoughts though only for to be interrupted again.

Raising his head Kazuki looked towards the door and found Tsunade holding the knob and looking at him with a hesitant look deep in her eyes.

"Actually there's a plan for yakiniku tonight, me, Nawaki, Orochimaru and Jiraiya are all joining… a much needed breather for everyone after the war"

"Would you like to join? It's just one night so probably won't affect your work much!" Asked Tsunade hesitatingly with a hint of expectation in her tone, unlike in the past Tsunade seems to have lost the power to be straightforward to kazuki and despite being older found herself nervous before him.

At her invitation Kazuki didn't give an answer immediately and went into a deep thought, Tsunade waiting for his answer eagerly.

*If it's really him behind this… then sending others to look for Yasuke is no different from death… a break before figuring out a way to find him won't harm and probably relax me a little*

"Sure, I'll be there right on time"

"Great! looking forward to tonight"

Making a decision inwardly Kazuki accepted her invitation as Tsunade nearly cheered out loud like a school girl, with a bright smile on

her face heading out.
