The old grandma prepared to take a step to go home, but after lifting her foot, she didn’t know which way to step.
Her eyes were somewhat confused, and she muttered: “Where is my home?
Why don’t I remember?” Uchiha Aozora hurriedly comforted her: “It’s okay, Konoha’s roads are indeed quite hard to remember, getting lost is very normal.” “Think carefully, is there anything special near your home?” Under Aozora’s comfort, the old grandma’s mood calmed down a lot, and she slowly recalled.
“Anything special?
I remember there’s a big locust tree near my house.
Every autumn when the leaves fall, they look like golden butterflies flying around.
When Saburo was little, he loved running around the big locust tree the most.” “There’s a big locust tree.
I’ll ask around for you.” After saying that, Uchiha Aozora walked over to Sosuke and Yuichi, and told them his deductions.
“Amnesia?” Sosuke and Yuichi looked at each other.
“Yes, as the name implies, after getting this disease, one easily forgets memories.
Right now she might have already forgotten many things, only remembering a few of the most precious memories.” Aozora briefly explained.
“Because she has forgotten a massive amount of memories, her personality now might be just like a child’s.
You can’t reason with her; you have to humor her and coax her.
Right now the old grandma has agreed to go home, but forgot where her home is, only remembering there’s a big locust tree in front of the door.
Seeing her clean clothes, her family conditions must be good, and her son used to attend the Ninja Academy.
There shouldn’t be many places that meet all these conditions at the same time, right?” Uchiha Yuichi laughed “haha” and said: “Aozora, you’ve got some skills.” Uchiha Sosuke also gave him an appreciative look and said: “Well done.
There are indeed very few such places.
I remember there’s a big locust tree in front of Chunin Kamikawa Ken’s house.” “Then Sosuke, please lead the way.
I’ll go tell the old grandma.” He said a few words to the old grandma, and then Aozora and the old grandma followed Uchiha Sosuke to the residence of Chunin Kamikawa Ken.
With the old grandma leaving the intersection, traffic returned to normal.
Uchiha Aozora, however, saw the disappointed faces of the onlookers, gaining a deeper understanding of the relationship between the Uchiha and the village.
Not long after they walked, the three along with the old grandma ran into Kamikawa Ken, who was currently searching for people.
Kamikawa Ken was startled, then anxiously stepped forward and asked: “Officers of the Police Force, did my mother commit some crime?” Uchiha Sosuke said coldly: “Your mother suffers from amnesia, and was blocking the intersection next to the Ninja Academy, obstructing traffic.” Hearing this, Kamikawa Ken hurriedly apologized: “I’m sorry, I will take my mother home immediately.” Uchiha Sosuke led Kamikawa Ken in front of the old person and said: “Grandma, follow your son back home.” The old grandma glanced at Kamikawa Ken and said: “He’s not my son.
Little Ken is clearly only ten years old.” Hearing this, Kamikawa Ken smiled bitterly and said: “I went to support the Hidden Cloud border a while ago, and when I came back I found my mother couldn’t remember me anymore.” Sosuke expressed his understanding, handed the old person over to him, and said: “The old person has lost her memory, you must take good care of her in the future.
Don’t let her disturb public order again.” “Understood, sorry to trouble the three officers from the Police Force.” After thanking the three, Kamikawa Ken half-coaxed and half-tricked the old person, finally leading her away.
Watching the mother and son walk away, the three felt happy inside.
Uchiha Aozora felt even more comfortable all over; every single cell in his body was filled with joy.
Because a new water drop had appeared on the heavenly book once again.
While Aozora was grinning foolishly, Sosuke withdrew his gaze from the departing mother and son, thanking him: “Aozora, luckily we had you here!” Yuichi also said: “Yeah, this time it was all thanks to Aozora.
Otherwise, facing such an amnesiac old person, Sosuke and I wouldn’t have known what to do.” Next, he asked casually: “By the way, Aozora, whose family are you from?
Why haven’t I seen you in the clan compound?” Uchiha Aozora’s attention was currently in his mind, and hearing this he subconsciously replied: “My brother is Shisui.” “Uchiha Shisui?” The two repeated in surprise.
Aozora was pulled back to reality by the gasps of the two, and affirmed: “Yes, my brother is Uchiha Shisui.” Sosuke just had a complicated expression, while Yuichi’s gaze towards Aozora was no longer friendly, and there was even some resentment in his eyes.
He directly mocked openly: “So it’s the brother of that traitor!” Before Yuichi could say more, Sosuke directly stopped him, shouting: “Yuichi, shut up.” Seeing this, Aozora thought: Is Shisui so unpopular among the clansmen?
Even the word ‘traitor’ has come out.
After calming Yuichi down, Sosuke turned around to look at Aozora seriously and said: “I don’t know if your brother has ever told you, but the village has developed suspicions towards our clan.” Uchiha Aozora remained silent.
Uchiha Sosuke didn’t wait for his answer and continued: “Perhaps it’s too early to tell you these things, but you’ve already become a ninja, sooner or later you will have to make a choice.” “Faced with the village’s suspicion and suppression, there are different thoughts within the clan.” “Some people want to show goodwill to the village, some people want to show a demonstration of power to the village, and some people want to rely on time to erase the suspicion.” Hearing this, Aozora suddenly asked: “Lord Sosuke, what do you think?” Uchiha Sosuke was stunned upon hearing this.
His eyes were a bit confused, and only after a while did he reply: “I don’t know.
But I know that once the seed of suspicion is planted, time will not make the seed lose its vitality; it will only make it take root and sprout.
The Uchiha must do something, but I know that neither showing goodwill nor demonstrating power are good methods.
As long as the village doesn’t trust us, whatever we do is futile.
Everything we do will at most only delay the arrival of that day.” After saying that, Sosuke revealed a bitter smile.
At this time, Yuichi interjected: “It’s not futile.
As long as someone from the Uchiha becomes the Hokage, the matter will be solved.” Uchiha Sosuke glared at Yuichi, made him shut up, and then said: “What Yuichi said is one kind of thought in the clan, and your brother Shisui holds another kind of thought.
Until the end, no one has the right to judge right or wrong.
No one will force you to make a choice now, but when you become a Chunin, you must make a choice.
Right now, take a good look at Konoha, take a good look at the Uchiha.
I hope you can find a new path.” After saying that, Uchiha Sosuke took Yuichi back to the Police Force.
Watching Uchiha Sosuke walk away, Aozora felt somewhat shocked in his heart.
He originally thought the Uchiha clan were all proud and cold people, but Uchiha Sosuke’s words let him know that all of this was a stereotype given to him by the anime.
Does the Uchiha clan only have this group of arrogant and conceited ninjas?
No, even if the Uchiha clan possesses a special bloodline, they are not all cut from the same cloth.
They have different thoughts, different propositions, and different personalities.
Among them, there must be people who love peace, people who are calm and wise, and people who want to live and work in peace.
Unfortunately, these types of people in the Uchiha, due to their emotional stability, often don’t progress quickly in strength, and haven’t even awakened the Sharingan.
In the ninja world, strength dictates status.
They have no strength, no status, and can only be swept along by the mainstream, eventually rushing toward the sea of death.
“How about, I save the Uchiha?” “There are bad people in the Uchiha, but the vast majority of the entire clan are just ordinary people.
They are innocent.” “Moreover, that would be a huge amount of merit!” Uchiha Aozora muttered to himself softly.
Originally, he just wanted to keep his brother alive, but now a new thought arose in his heart.
However, for this thought to be realized, stronger power was necessary.
“Sigh, Danzo is not the only one who wants to destroy the Uchiha!” Life is hard; Aozora sighed.
Physically and mentally exhausted, Uchiha Aozora went home, casually made something to eat, and then fell deeply asleep.
