Chapter 645 This is the last time
Although Itachi and Shisui did not interact much with Chiyo, in their hearts Chiyo was always like a pillar of strength, the core pillar of the entire clan.
They felt incredibly at ease as long as Qianyao returned.
At this moment, Fugaku's expression was slightly strange, and he muttered to himself thoughtfully:
"Five years have passed, and those children have all grown up, but Qianyao doesn't seem to have changed at all."
Mayumi confirmed, "The clan leader looks exactly the same as he did in the battle five years ago; he hasn't even changed his clothes."
Fugaku frowned slightly, lost in thought.
After a moment, he said, "Judging from the information we have so far, the clan leader's experience during that period should not have been very long."
After Chiyo left, Orochimaru spent a considerable amount of time trying every possible means to bring him back to Konoha.
During this period, Orochimaru consulted a large number of ancient books and documents, doing his homework thoroughly.
Meanwhile, Fugaku and his clansmen took this opportunity to learn a great deal about time travel and the differences in the flow of time in different time spaces through Orochimaru's research.
At this moment, Shisui gently rubbed his signature bulbous nose and interjected:
"If we calculate according to the normal timeline, wouldn't Itachi be the same age as the clan leader?"
Upon hearing this, Itachi quickly waved his hand and shook his head in denial, saying, "Senior gives off an impression of being much more mature than his actual age."
In fact, Chiyo herself far surpassed most of the Uchiha clan in both intelligence and emotional cognition.
This often leads people to overlook his real age.
Thinking of this, Fugaku couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion:
"It is truly a blessing for the Uchiha clan that such a gifted genius as Chiyo has emerged."
"I have no worries about the future prospects of the Uchiha clan. It's just a little regrettable that I can't help them anymore."
His words revealed a hint of regret and helplessness.
Despite his deep longing to fight alongside Qianyao, his physical condition has become an insurmountable obstacle.
In order to conceal the fact that the Mangekyou Sharingan would cause blindness, even if he were to get other eyes in the future, he would no longer be able to fight on the front lines.
This is undoubtedly a regret for Fugaku.
"Father..." Itachi wanted to comfort her, but before he could say it, Fugaku stopped him with a gesture.
Fugaku put his hand down: "I was just remarking that Chiyo has just returned and must be quite busy lately. Let's wait until he's thought it through before making a decision."
……
The atmosphere at the Uchiha clan's training grounds was exceptionally lively.
Karin, Sasuke, Naruto, Hinata, Hydrangea, Hotaru, Yakumo Kurama, and Shion were all gathered here, quietly waiting for something.
Meanwhile, Gaara, Kimimaro, and Haku were still in the distant desert, completely unaware of Chiyo's return. They would have to wait until their next reunion to find out.
Sasuke stared intently at Karin, his eyes gleaming with barely suppressed excitement and anticipation.
Sasuke is now the same height as Karin, but visually Karin appears to be slightly taller.
However, if you carefully measure their heights, you will find that Sasuke is actually the slightly taller one.
Sasuke has been teased as the junior brother for too long; he wants to be the senior brother too.
Looking back five years, from the moment Sasuke successfully evolved the three-tomoe Sharingan, his strength skyrocketed like a rocket.
Whether it's the amount of chakra within his body, or the physical abilities, genjutsu, and ninjutsu essential for a ninja, he has experienced comprehensive and rapid growth.
Especially in the field of illusion, he received meticulous instruction from top masters like his older brother Itachi and Shisui;
As for the Fire Release technique, it was personally taught to him by his father, Fugaku.
As for swordsmanship, the Uchiha clan is full of talented individuals, with many masters generously sharing their knowledge.
Sasuke, who has excellent teachers in every subject, says that there's no way he can learn everything; there's simply no way he can learn everything.
Sasuke yearned to showcase his achievements, the result of his years of hard work, to his master.
Using "eagerly awaiting" to describe it is not an exaggeration at all.
The meeting at Chiyo didn't take up too much time.
After Sasuke and the others waited for a while, Chiyo slowly walked over.
When everyone saw him appear, a look of genuine joy appeared on everyone's face.
"Master!"
"headmaster!"
"Lord Qianyao!"
Greetings mingled and echoed in the air.
Almost everyone present was around the same age as Naruto; in other words, they were all teenagers around sixteen years old.
At sixteen, they have shed some of their childishness and are beginning to understand things more clearly.
Girls like Hydrangea and Yakumo Kurama have a deeper understanding of how rare the opportunity to join the Uchiha clan is.
Ying finally understood the good intentions behind Qianyao's rescue of her.
Even the usually shy and introverted Hinata knew that without Chiyo's help, she and her sister Hanabi would have already perished, becoming victims of the family's internal power struggle.
As Qianyao drew closer, everyone rushed forward and quickly surrounded him.
Naruto couldn't contain his excitement and kept muttering to himself:
"Principal, where have you been? We all miss you so much."
"Alright, alright, you're so old already, yet you still act like a child."
Qianyao's lips curled up slightly, revealing a doting smile. At the same time, he reached out and gently ruffled Naruto's golden hair, saying in a slightly teasing tone.
Although Chiyo had met Naruto from two different periods after his transmigration, he didn't have many interactions with those two people.
In contrast, the Naruto in front of me is completely different.
This Naruto was rescued from dire straits by Chiyo himself, who went to great lengths to save him.
That is why the bond between them is far from ordinary.
Qianyao patted each of their heads one by one:
(′?w?)?(._.`).
Ever since they arrived here, Qianyao has often made such caring gestures.
These memories are already deeply etched into everyone's minds.
Whenever Qianyao does this again, that familiar and warm feeling instantly surges into their hearts, filling them with an unprecedented sense of security.
However, when it was Sasuke's turn, the situation changed slightly.
Sasuke muttered softly, "Master, you've been gone for so long, and you haven't been able to witness every step of my growth."
Hearing this, Qianyao smiled slightly, then put his hands together and gently tapped Sasuke's forehead with two fingers, softly saying:
"Forgive me, Sasuke, this is the last time."
