Naruto: Uchiha Youngjo's Konoha Spring

Chapter 97: Konoha's Fifty-Sixth Year, December th (Part )
"I'm the captain of the jonin squad, Yoshimura Ryoto."

"Why are the people from the Jonin squad with our Anbu captain?" Uchiha Itachi asked in a low voice, "What are you planning? Let Gekkou Toru answer the phone!"

"Captain Uchiha Itachi, calm down." Yoshimura Ryoto said, "The Jonin Squad and the Anbu are together, so they naturally have a cooperative mission. Why don't you come to the Security Department and we can talk slowly."

"Joint mission? How could I, the ANBU captain, not know about this!" Uchiha Itachi suppressed his anger, "Besides, why are you in the Security Department? You even dared to kidnap Master Jiraiya, what do you want to do? Release Master Jiraiya immediately!"

"Let me say it." At this time, Uchiha Shisui stood up and said to Yoshimura Ryoto.

After Yoshimura Ryoto handed the radio to Uchiha Shisui, Shisui made some preparations first, and only spoke after hearing Uchiha Itachi's angry growl over the radio.

"What about people?"

"Itachi, I'm Shisui, calm down first." Shisui said slowly.

"Shisui?" Uchiha Itachi said in disbelief, "How come even you have joined them? Wasn't it because of your influence that I pledged allegiance to the Sandaime-sama and Jiraiya-sama? But how can you kidnap Jiraiya-sama now?"

"I won't say anything more. Now, release Master Jiraiya immediately!"

"Captain Itachi, I'm sorry, but we can't let him go. Lord Jiraiya is now suspected of aiding the enemy and betraying the village. We can't let him go until everything is investigated. But don't worry, if Lord Jiraiya is sure there is no suspicion, we will release him immediately."

"Brother Shisui!" Uchiha Itachi yelled.

"Itachi, calm down." Shisui reminded again.

"Why should I be calm?" The fact that Shisui had completely sided with the other party had completely torn apart Uchiha Itachi's composure. "All of you traitorous ninjas, just wait for me! I'm coming over now and will use my ninjutsu to blow each of you to the sky!"

Uchiha Itachi hung up the phone angrily.

In Uchiha Tokou's office, Shisui looked at everyone helplessly: "He said he would blow us all up into the sky."

"I can hear you." Kakashi's mouth twitched, and after a while he said to Shisui: "Shisui, please stop him."

"I understand." Shisui nodded.

A flying insect flew out from Aburame Shiwei's body and drilled into Uchiha Shisui's ear. Shisui looked at several people, pushed the door and walked out of the office.

"Senior Jaw, how are things going over there?" After Shisui left, Kakashi used the communication bug to contact Inuzuka Jaw, who was leading the team guarding outside the territory of the Ino, Deer, and Chou clans.

"They've already started gathering," Inuzuka Jaw replied.

"Just hold them back and prioritize our own safety," Kakashi said.

"Understood." Inuzuka Jaw ended the call. In his sight, Akimichi Choza, fully armored, led a team of Ino-Shika-Cho ninjas and slowly walked out of the three clans' territory.

"Chief Jaw, what do you say?" Uchiha Haruka asked after activating his three magatama beside Inuzuka Jaw.

"Just stop them. If they know what's good for them, try to avoid a conflict," said Inuzuka Jaw.

"Understood." The people behind Inuzuka Jaw nodded, no longer hiding their figures, and walked out of their hiding places one by one, blocking the road leading to the village from the three tribes' territories.

The two groups soon met face to face.

"Chief of the Jaw Clan, are you here to visit us again this time?" Qiu Daodingzuo asked with narrowed eyes.

"Yes, we are all grateful for the hospitality provided by Chief Dingzuo last time," said Inuzuka Jaw. "I wonder if Chief Dingzuo can treat our two clans well, just like he did last time?"

"I'm afraid that won't work. Such a big thing happened in the village, I should be there." said Qiu Dao Ding Zuo.

"Has Chief Dingza really thought it through? If you take action, you'll be charged with aiding the civil unrest." Inuzuka Jaw said, "Why are you doing this? Jiraiya has already been arrested. You can't change the outcome. Forcibly intervening will do you, Ino-Shika-Chou, no good."

At this time, behind Inuzuka Jape, ten Uchiha ninjas with three-magatama Sharingan slowly walked out and stood in front of Akimichi Choza.

In this dark night, ten pairs of scarlet Sharingan suddenly brought tremendous pressure to Akimichi Choza and the Ino, Shikaku, and Chou clansmen behind him. This time was different from the last time. Nara Shikaku and Yamanaka Inoichi, who cooperated with him most tacitly, were not around. In terms of one-on-one combat, his strength was only comparable to that of Inuzuka Jaw.

However, the Jonin and Chunin of the Ino, Shika, and Chou clans behind him would probably not be able to resist the Inuzuka and Aburame clans led by ten Uchiha three-magatama Jonin.

Seeing this situation, Akimichi Chozo had no choice but to take out his radio and call Yamanaka Inoichi.

In the Anbu base, Yamanaka Inoichi answered the radio, and Uchiha Itachi and Nara Shikaku also looked at him.

"Mr. Ding? What happened?" asked Yamanaka Haiyi.

"I'm afraid our support won't be able to arrive. The Inuzuka and Aburame clans have sent out their elite troops, and there are also ten three-magatama-level Uchiha jonin. We should not be their match." Akimichi Choza said.

After Akimichi Choza finished speaking, Yamanaka Inichi and Nara Shikaku fell into silence.

After a while, Nara Shikaku sighed deeply and took the radio from Yamanaka Inoichi. He said, "That's fine. Take the people back with you. Inoichi and I will take care of this."

"Assistant Shikaku?" Uchiha Itachi looked at Nara Shikaku in disbelief. He hadn't expected Nara Shikaku to give such an order at this critical moment. "Go back and tell Shikamaru that he is the sixteenth generation of Shikaku."

"Ino will be the sixteenth generation pig." Yamanaka Inoichi also said at this time.

After the two finished talking, Nara Shikaku hung up the radio.

"Captain Itachi, please forgive me. As the clan leader, I cannot let my clan members die in vain. I have to be responsible for the family." After arranging everything, Nara Shikaku looked at Uchiha Itachi.

"Is the family more important than the village?" Uchiha Itachi asked with difficulty.

"Of course the village is more important than the family, but this is just a civil war, isn't it? After the sun rises tomorrow, the village will still be a village." Nara Shikaku said.

"Captain Itachi, let's go." Yamanaka Inoichi said at this time, "Aren't we going to use ninjutsu to blow those rebellious ninjas to the sky? Take all the ninjas that can be mobilized with us."

"But..." The confusion on Uchiha Itachi's face became even more intense. Didn't they let all the clansmen go back home?
"The Ino, Shika, and Chou clans are powerless to do anything about this matter, but the fifteenth generation of Ino, Shika, and Chou clans can't stay out of it." Nara Shikaku said as he took off the earrings from his ears. At the same time, he took out a small metal box engraved with the Sarutobi clan's emblem, opened it, and put the box inside.

At the same time, Yamanaka Inoichi took off his earrings and put them back in.

Looking at the missing corner of the box, the two looked at each other and smiled helplessly.

At the same time, outside the territory of the Ino, Deer, and Chou tribes, Akimichi Choza, whose communication was disconnected, put down the radio and looked at Inuzuka Jaguar and his group with a serious face.

"What, has Chief Ding Zuo thought it through?" Inuzuka Jaw said.

"We can withdraw, but I require to speak directly to your leader," said Akimichi Choza.

"Okay." After confirming with Kakashi again, Inuzuka Jab nodded and winked at a ninja from the Aburame clan next to him. After the other party understood, a communication bug slowly flew to Akimichi Choza's ear.

Akimichi Choza did not resist. He waited until the insect drilled into his ear before inputting chakra.

"Senior Choza, how are you?" Kakashi's voice rang in Akimichi Choza's ears.

"Kakashi? It's you?" Akimichi Choza nodded.

"With Dou Guang gone, I'm in charge of the overall situation." Kakashi said, "Tell me, Senior Choza, what are the conditions of the Ino-Shika-Cho clan?"

"Our three tribes can withdraw, but you have to let me pass." Qiu Dao Ding Zuo said, "Don't worry, I'm alone."

"Why?" Kakashi asked puzzled.

"Some things should end with our generation," said Akimichi Choza.

Kakashi was silent for a while, then said, "Yes, I'm in the security department, waiting for you three to come."

The communication was cut off, and the communication bug left Qiu Daodingzuo's ear. Qiu Daodingzuo turned around and looked at the tribesmen behind him.

"Everyone, go back. The sixteenth generation of Ino-Shika-Cho, namely Yamanaka Ino, Nara Shikamaru, and Akimichi Chouji, assist them well."

"Clan leader, what are you doing?" a Jonin from the Akimichi clan asked in confusion.

Akimichi Choza didn't answer, but continued to give his own orders: "Let Shikamaru choose the witnesses for the three of them to swear the earring oath. As long as they are not from the Sarutobi clan, they will be fine."

After saying that, Akimichi Choza walked towards Inuzuka Jape and his group alone. Inuzuka Jape also waved his hand, and everyone made way for him.

In Uchiha Tokou's office, after Kakashi ended the call, he also sorted out his ninja tools and then looked at Aburame Shiwei.

"Chief Zhiwei, all that's left is this final battle. Please keep an eye on this place for me. If there is any situation, please notify me at any time." Kakashi said.

"I understand." Aburame Shizue nodded slightly.

Afterwards, Kakashi also walked out of Uchiha Douguang's office.

……

In the Anbu headquarters, Uchiha Itachi also began to mobilize the ninjas that could be mobilized from the entire Anbu and the Jonin Squad. However, apart from the civilian staff, there were only seventeen combat forces that Uchiha Itachi could mobilize. Except for one ninja from the Yamanaka clan and one from the Akimichi clan, they were all from the Utatane, Mitomon and Sarutobi clans.

And these are all the forces that Uchiha Itachi can mobilize at present.

Just before Uchiha Itachi was about to take his men out, Akimichi Choza hurried over.

Seeing his old friend rushing over, Nara Shikaku sighed helplessly, then said, "The earring box is on my desk."
