Start with the Mangekyo Sharingan: Follow Lord Madara out of Konoha

Chapter 164: Chapter 57: Truth isn't asked for



Inside the room, Nian closed the diary, stood up against the wall.

His eyes were lowered, and frustration and impulse intertwined, soaking his body in this complex and surging emotion, like the turbulent surface of the sea, sometimes sinking deep into the ocean with the current, and sometimes stirring up towering waves.

In fact, even before seeing the diary, he already had the answer in his heart.

Because Senior had told him the name "Uchiha Kagami" a long time ago.

But he didn't understand why the genius ninja who possessed the Mangekyō Sharingan and Wood Release at the same time, who inherited the precious power of the Uchiha and Senju clans, became a deserter in the eyes of the clan and condemned by the people of the village?

What had he done to cause such resentment from both humans and the heavens?

Uchiha Nian took a deep breath, rubbed his sore nose, and suppressed all his emotions.

He said softly to Tsunade, "Why did you tell me this?"

"I… I just feel like this whole thing is strange."

Tsunade clenched her white fist and said, "My parents taught me from a young age that even if I can't become a great ninja like my grandfather, I must have justice in my heart and love for the world. If your father was truly a hero commanding the battlefield, even if he eventually sacrificed himself on the battlefield, then why should you, as the son of a hero, live so… so…"

She carefully glanced at Nian's expression. In the dim light, she could see his red eyes and a pair of moist, cold Sharingan.

"If there is a misunderstanding, everyone can clarify it, but if there is really some conspiracy, I will help you get justice and make the truth clear to the world!" Tsunade stood in front of him, a determined look on her face.

"After all, you are also a genius who inherited the power of Wood Release and Sharingan. As a princess, I absolutely won't allow such injustice to happen to you."

Nian suddenly smiled. "So, if I were an average and unremarkable person, Tsunade wouldn't stand up, would she?"

"This…" Tsunade opened her mouth, a little embarrassed.

She wanted to refute, but she was indeed attracted to his Wood Release talent.

If Nian had remained at the level of the Ninja Academy during the Hell Valley mission, he wouldn't have come into her sights, and none of this would have happened today.

"As expected, strength is the key to power." Nian thought silently, "Senior's words are truly a truth."

"Tsunade, thank you for this. Can I have this diary and photo?" Nian revealed a pleading look, "This may be the only thing I have to remember my father."

"This…" Tsunade hesitated, but looking at the earnest and pitiful expression, she couldn't bear it and could only nod. "Okay, but don't tell anyone. After I go back, I will continue to investigate the truth."

She immediately prepared to leave, walking to the door to pick up her shoes, putting them on her feet lightly.

"Oh, by the way, don't tell anyone I came to see you tonight. Before figuring out the truth, I don't want to alert the enemy," Tsunade instructed.

"Sorry…" Nian carefully placed the photo and diary, his eyes changing. "It seems you've already been exposed."

"What!" Tsunade's heart jumped, her face showing a hint of doubt.

She had avoided all the patrols, so how was she exposed?

Nian sighed softly. "Ever since I met with the Hokage and Danzo during the day, my room has been constantly filled with eyes."

"This…" Tsunade suddenly remembered that Nian was also an excellent sensory ninja!

Perhaps because the halo of Wood Release was too strong, she subconsciously ignored his sensory ability.

"If you hadn't come, it would have been fine, but now that you have come, things have changed. God knows what these people will do after you leave." Nian shook his head. "But I don't blame you, because I didn't know anything about my father until today."

"No, no, I'm going out to stop them right now." Tsunade was about to push the door open, her hand on the doorknob.

"No."

Nian said immediately, "If you really want to find out the truth, then don't do anything, go out normally, go home normally."

"Why?" Tsunade was a little anxious. She felt that her rash actions had implicated Nian.

"Sometimes, truth isn't asked for—it's revealed. "Nian moved his shoulders, warming up for a fight, "Actually, I'm also very curious about what the people outside will do, and their reaction will tell me everything."

"Idiot, you might be in danger!" Tsunade said, "What I brought out were classified documents! They will never forgive you if they find out."

"The more dangerous my situation, the more it can prove the truth," Nian lifted his eyes slightly and whispered, "Tsunade, thank you, but you should go."

Tsunade was helpless, but after all, it was Nian's choice, and she had no right to insist on her actions. Moreover, she had already acted rashly once, and she didn't want to pit Nian again.

"You… be careful." She pushed open the door, and the cool air of the night seeped into her nostrils, making her shiver.

She glanced around slightly. She didn't know why, but before she came, she felt that there was no one around, but now she felt that the dark corners were full of hidden gazes, like a densely woven spider web, making her feel goosebumps all over her body.

At this time, Nian's faint voice came from the room.

"Keep walking, don't look back."

Tsunade pursed her lips and left the Uchiha clan without looking back.

For the first time in her life, she felt that the village didn't always have sunshine and hope.

The moonlight was like water, covering the earth, giving the room a thin silver glow.

I don't know how long it was, and knocking came on the door again.

"Who is it?"

"We are Root ninjas, subordinates of Danzo."

A low voice came from outside the door: "Uchiha Nian, Danzo-sama has seen your potential. From today on, you are a Root ninja."

A second voice continued: "Root people have no name, no emotions, no past, and no future. All they have is missions. Root ninjas are roots buried deep in the earth that support the great tree of the Konoha village. Everything must follow the will of Danzo-sama. Come out now, and we will take you to Root to accept your identity."

After a moment of silence, Nian said, "It sounds like I don't have the right to refuse?"

"Either join Root, or… die!"

A sharp wind sound cut through the air, and the handle of the door was cut off. The moment the door opened, four people wearing tight-fitting clothes and colorful masks rushed into the house.

The leader was burly, and his huge hand pressed the distraught Nian to the floor, the knuckles exerting pressure, as if he could crush his skull with a thought.

"Be obedient, maybe we can still become colleagues."

"Hahahaha…" At this time, Nian laughed lightly, "It seems… things are much more complicated than I thought…"

The few people looked at each other in surprise, not knowing what was wrong with this kid.

Suddenly, Nian turned into a cloud of smoke, and fire blazed in several corners of the room.
