From undercover in Konoha, to I am the Hokage!

Chapter 157: Cultivating relationships starts from childhood!
"Clang."

The heavy coffin fell to the ground with a dull sound.

It was not until several days later that Tianzang and Shennong found the entrance to the cave based on the few information left by Uchiha Madara. However, feeling the chakra that was so strong that it could not be ignored coming from inside, the two of them stood still and looked at each other, and no one dared to take a step forward.

Although Uchiha Madara said before his death that he left behind a successor, God knows what kind of monster that guy who inherited his will will be.

Obviously, after seeing the previous battle between Uchiha Madara and Sahara Kiri, they already had a very clear understanding of their own strength.

"Oh yeah yeah."

However, just as the two of them were still hesitating in front of the door, they saw a black and white figure suddenly float up from the ground, looking at them quietly with a strange look and an unnatural smile on his face.

"We actually have guests today."

"It's obviously a barren place like this."

Almost at the moment when the voice was heard, Tianzang and Shennong took a half step back at the same time, looking coldly at the figure that suddenly emerged from the ground, but neither of them could detect the slightest breath, and their hearts suddenly became alert.

Is this the so-called 'successor'?

However, just as these thoughts came to their mind, they heard the sound of light footsteps coming slowly from the deep cave.

The next moment, a thin girl with a cold look stepped out from the shadows and looked at the two of them indifferently.

The moment they saw each other, both Tianzang and Shennong were shocked.

It seemed that no one expected that Uchiha Madara's proud successor would be such a young girl.

"Are they the two?"

Uchiha Guang spoke in a calm voice, but he was not talking to the two of them. Instead, his scarlet pupils turned to Zetsu who had emerged from the ground.

“Yes, that’s the taste.”

As Jue spoke, he turned his head to look at the coffin that the two of them had thrown on the ground. The corners of his mouth, which had originally seemed very stiff, suddenly opened a little wider, as if he had encountered something that had not been able to disturb his emotions for a long time:

"But it seems that Madara-sama is already dead."

"Humph."

"Expected."

Uchiha Hikaru spoke in a low voice with a hint of coldness in his voice, and turned his gaze to the coffin on the ground.

"Letting that guy die so easily is actually what he wanted."

Her feelings towards Uchiha Madara are actually very complicated.

As a monster who was also abandoned by his clan and a companion who was hostile to the Uchiha clan, Madara was undoubtedly a very powerful helper. What's more, he had the same ambition as himself - to bring peace to the world.

As for the opposite side, it lies in the obviously incompatible paths between the two people.

To be honest, Uchiha Madara's death made her feel relieved, but also made her feel heavy-hearted.

It was naturally a good thing for her that no one was controlling her with talismans.

However, Uchiha Hikaru was also well aware of Madara's strength.

Whether it was Susanoo or pure art, he was actually far inferior to that old-looking guy.

As a result, the guy who was much stronger than her ended up dying in front of Sawara Kiri.

This also shows that on the road to peace that she longed for, there appeared a powerful enemy that was completely unavoidable.

During the girl's brief silence, Tianzang and Shennong subconsciously looked at each other, and then Tianzang spoke first:

"Sir, we two are here to return the coffin according to Master Madara's will."

"If there is nothing else you want to tell me, we will go first..."

Before he could finish his words, he saw Uchiha Guang's eyes suddenly change.

The pupils of the two eyes, which had been pitch black just now, suddenly turned into a deep scarlet at this moment, and the magatama in the center of the eyes connected with each other, turning into a horn windmill shape.

"Now that you're here, let's stay."

The moment they heard these words, Tianzang and Shennong were both shocked, and almost subconsciously shot to both sides, suddenly rushing out dozens of meters away.

Just this one move showed off his extremely superb teleportation technique.

However, in just a flash, Tianzang's eyes saw the petite figure suddenly appear in front of him at a speed that ordinary people could not catch.

Tenzo inherited a large amount of Danzo's memory and had extremely rich experience in fighting against the Uchiha clan. His eyes immediately dropped to the girl's toes while forming seals with his hands.

"Wood Release: Large"

Before he could finish his words, the girl had already attacked with lightning speed. While holding down his knuckles with one hand, she pressed down his neck with the other hand with a "snap".

The force was so huge that it was hard to resist that it even caused a slight creaking sound in Tianzang's neck. He was forced to lift his head up and meet those scarlet eyes.

"Eight thousand spears!"

It was just a brief eye contact, and the sudden burst of eye chakra surged into the depths of his brain like a surging tide, causing all the movements of his whole body to stagnate.

At the same time, a subtle chakra mark appeared behind his neck.

By the time he let go of his hand, Tianzang was already standing still.

What kind of technique is that?!
Shennong, who had no idea about the Kaleidoscope Eye Technique, felt a chill in his heart the moment he saw this scene, and even his footsteps increased by several degrees.

However, even if he was the former leader of the Sky Ninja Village, how could he compare to Uchiha Hikaru who had been training for a year?

Before he could even run a few steps, Uchiha Hikari, who suddenly turned around from Tenzang, kicked out and slammed on his back. He knocked him down like a startled wild goose and pulled his head up again.

Another attack of eight thousand spears was fired, and Shennong's figure immediately stopped.

In just a few seconds, two powerful men who were well-known even in the entire ninja world were already under the control of the "Eight Thousand Spears".

After a while, Tianzang suddenly recovered from his previous confused state.

He first subconsciously felt around his body and found that he had no missing limbs. Then he looked at the black-haired girl with a cold face and said coldly:

"What on earth did you do to us?!"

However, Uchiha Hikaru seemed to be used to this kind of reaction and said calmly:
"The strength is pretty good."

"From today on, you will be under my command."

"Bastard!"

There was no way Tian Zang could be easily overwhelmed by such an answer.

It was understandable that he couldn't defeat Uchiha Madara before, but now as the future ruler of Konoha, how could he be ordered around by this random person who came out of nowhere?
He immediately formed seals with his hands and slammed his hands on the ground.

"Wood Release: The Technique of the Great Forest!"

With a loud bang, countless wooden roots that surged like tentacles suddenly rolled out from under the originally flat ground, heading directly towards Uchiha Hikaru.

However, the girl who had been as fast as lightning before completely ignored his attack and turned around and walked away.

There was a flash of light in Tianzang’s eyes.

But the next moment.

"boom!"

The countless roots that were still rolling forward in the last second suddenly stopped drastically at the moment they were about to touch Uchiha Guang.

Countless roots seemed to have suddenly been put into a state of stillness.

All stopped within that short distance.

It's not just his Wood Release.

Tianzang could clearly feel that even his own body seemed to have lost all response at this moment, and the control of his entire body and even the chakra in his body had all changed hands.

But he couldn't react at all.

'What on earth is this.'

The shock and fear in his heart became more and more intense.

Uchiha Hikaru looked calm.

The Eight Thousand Spears can remotely control the marked ninja and even absorb the opponent's chakra for its own use.

This is why she was regarded as the "ultimate weapon" by the entire family.

Anyone who is under the spell will be controlled unless Uchiha Hikaru is willing to remove it himself.

Shennong, who had wanted to resist just now, suddenly saw this scene. His Adam's apple rolled unconsciously, as if even his breathing was stopped.

First there was Sawara Kiri, then there was Uchiha Madara, and now there is this woman.
How many terrifying monsters like them are hidden beneath the deep sea of ​​this ninja world?
Just by looking at this scene, he completely lost the will to resist.

As if noticing his expression, Uchiha Hikaru cast a few glances at him and nodded, "Finally, there is someone who knows what's interesting."

"gone."

She only gave an order, and the two of them completely lost control of their bodies and quickly followed Uchiha Hikari.

As for Uchiha Madara's body and coffin, they were swallowed whole by Zetsu who was watching the show on the other side and kept them in his body. No one knew where they were teleported to.

On his black and white face, he still had that disgusting smile on his face, and he swam quickly on the ground, following the enemy.

However, none of them noticed the vaguely heavy look on Uchiha Guang's gradually calming face.

It's really embarrassing.
The girl's mind unconsciously recalled the scene when she first met the young man. After she was defeated, he forcefully tapped her forehead.

Although his eyes were still heavy, a gentle smile appeared unconsciously at the corner of his lips, and the conflicting emotions were all on his face. If even Uchiha Madara can't defeat you.
What should I do to completely conquer you?

Sawara Kiri.

Konoha, deep in the Forest of Death.

"Qiang!"

Tiny sparks flew from the friction between metals.

Two short figures kept crossing each other in the dense forest, the short knives and kunai in their hands hitting each other in a continuous and rapid collision.

Another girl with dark red hair leaned against the tree trunk next to her, quietly watching the fight between Zabuza and Man Yue, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Judging from physical skills alone, these two boys, who are only six or seven years old, have already reached the level of Genin. They are very good in both speed and strength, and their mastery of close combat techniques is quite outstanding.

If he could show his full strength, it would not be difficult for him to graduate directly by skipping a grade, or to be promoted to the newly established Ninja High School.

However, their strength can only be fully displayed in such a remote place.

However, Mei Terumi's thoughts were not on the two of them.

Even though many days had passed, her mind would still constantly recall the battlefield that the three of them saw in front of the gate of Konoha Village.

The tight skin that is unique to children was twisted tightly due to a little worry, forming a small pimple on her forehead.

"Is that kind of strength really the level that a ninja can achieve?"

"It's like a valley formed by the battle of the tailed beasts."

"What's more, the enemy is the legendary Uchiha Madara."

Even a child like her had heard of the name of the Shura of the Ninja World, and would never dare to ignore such a big shot just because time had passed.

After all, was the reason why the first Five Kage Summit was possible because the other countries really wanted to participate?
It’s because the other villages have completely surrendered to the power of Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara.

What concerned her more was another issue.

"Why would a strong man like Master Lian need to stay in this village and be a little spy?"

"Are you really going to turn Konoha into a vassal of Kirigakure?"

'Is this possible?'

Although she is still young, Mei Terumi has already demonstrated superhuman maturity and a vision beyond her age.

She was keenly aware of this contradiction.

"Yo."

Just as she was deep in thought, a soft sound suddenly came from behind her.

Mei Terumi's mind suddenly shook, and she came back to life from her daze. Almost subconsciously, she stabbed a kunai behind her.

However, before she could stretch out her hand, a big hand firmly pressed it on her shoulder.

When I raised my head, I met a pair of blue eyes that seemed to be smiling.

"It's not good to frown like an adult at such a young age."

Sawara Kiri gently stretched out her hand and slowly massaged the little girl's brow, helping her to relax the small pimples that were originally tightly furrowed, and joked, "But you will age prematurely."

The moment she saw the man's face, the fear that suddenly rose in Terumi Mei's heart was immediately suppressed.

But, how could it be.?

She had clearly placed so many secret perception seals nearby.

Even if a bird flies through the woods, it should trigger her perception.
Fortunately, the person who came was Lord Lian.

Mei Terumi thought so in her heart, but she immediately lowered her body:

"Lord Lian."

"Don't be so reserved when you're in Konoha. Just call me by my name here." Sahara Kiri patted her head gently, motioning her to stand up, and then turned to look at the two people in the woods, "You two are working hard too."

At this time, Zabuza and Man Yue also noticed his figure and immediately trotted over to salute.

"Mr. Fog."

"That's right."

Sawara Kiri smiled gently, but her blue eyes stayed on the slightly restrained face of Terumi Mei for a moment, but she said nothing.

Kids, it's good to be a little more sensitive.

It’s not necessarily the case for adults.

Different from Mei Terumi who was reserved and had a hint of worry on her face, Zabuza and Mantsuki behaved more like ordinary children, with eyes full of longing when they looked at him.

Although Zabuza had his face covered, his excitement almost popped out of his eyes.

Kizuna Mangetsu was more careful and obviously noticed the brisk footsteps of Sawara Kiri when he appeared silently: "Master Kiri, are your injuries healed?"

"That's about right. After all, I've been raising it for several days."

Sawara Kiri's words were unintentional, but the little kids felt excited when they heard them.

He had fought such a fierce battle with such a monster, but he had recovered in less than a week?
As expected, you are Lord Sawara!
Mei Terumi's gaze became slightly more serious.

But when he raised his head, he showed that innocent smile that only belonged to his age:
"Master Wu, are you finally going to give us a mission?"

"It should be considered a mission."

Sawara Kiri still had that gentle smile on his face, and he didn't seem to care about the anxious expressions of these children at all: "Before coming here, I asked the ninja school teacher about your situation."

"Which teacher said that you are a little bit of a loner."

"This is not conducive to a long-term ambush."

The smile on his face became gentler, and he said in a negotiating tone: "So, as the first task - go make more friends with everyone in the class?"

Hearing this, the three undercover agents of Kirigakure were all stunned.

What kind of mission is this?
"Is it hard to understand?" Sawara Kiri looked at them and said as a matter of course, "If I hadn't integrated myself into this village and adapted to the environment here, I would have been arrested as a suspect by the Root during the previous rounds of investigations."

"In this village, there are more than one or two undercover agents your age, and those who survive to the age of fifteen are only a minority among the few."

"But."

Zabuza, who was impatient, wanted to refute something.

Mei Terumi immediately spoke up:

"Yes, I understand!"

Zabuza and Mangetsu turned to look at her at the same time, with an expression of inexplicable surprise.

Before, the one who most wanted to get the mission among them was obviously Mei Terumi?
"That's right."

Sawara Kiri stretched out her hand, and with a smile she rubbed the little boy's head again, making it feel soft and fluffy.

However, while he was rubbing her head, Mei Terumi raised her head slightly and asked with an expectant look, as if she was a little embarrassed:
"Um, Mr. Mist!"

"Actually, I am also a bloodline ninja. If I have any questions later, may I ask you for advice?"

"Bloodline development?"

Sahara Kiri looked at her and immediately noticed her careless thoughts. He seemed to be a little helpless and stretched out his hand to her: "I'm not very good at this either."

"Is that the extent of it?"

As he spoke, he raised his hand as if casually.

A crack suddenly appeared between his wrists.

The white bone covered with a light gray layer emerged from his wrist at an astonishing speed and pressed against the edge of the girl's cheek like a bayonet.

Wrapped in a trace of unintentional chill.

Mei Terumi's heartbeat speeded up unconsciously.

She suddenly had a hunch that something was extremely dangerous.

If she were touched by this thing, even if it just touched her skin, she would probably be doomed.

"Fuck!"

The bone spur shot out along her cheek and pierced through a huge tree with a diameter of several meters behind the three people, disappearing an unknown number of meters away.

Sawara Kiri was already smiling gently.

Zabuza and Mangetsu Hozuki on both sides showed excitement in their eyes.

Only Mei Terumi could clearly sense the strong murderous intent that seemed to be able to freeze people in that instant.

Cold sweat broke out on my back.

Sahara Kiri's big hand was still on her head, and his voice was still gentle: "Next, I will find time to conduct secret training for you guys, but remember the principle of confidentiality."

"Ming, do you understand?"

He lowered his head and looked at the still young girl.

"Yes! Lord Mist!"
