After sealing the house, Zhishui walked up to Zhixue, took a breath, and said.
"Zhixue, Konoha Village is not very safe lately. It's not just the outside forces, but the villagers also seem to be very suspicious of you. So you must be careful lately. I'm quite busy in the Anbu and may not be able to keep an eye on you completely, but I will take some special measures against you. Remember not to resist."
Zhi Xue nodded to Shi Shui, and then when those Mangekyou Sharingan, resembling shuriken in both hands, appeared before her, Zhi Xue subconsciously leaned back. Wasn't this unfolding a little strange?
"Nissan, why are you turning on the kaleidoscope for no reason?"
Zhixue took a few steps back and gave an awkward smile. It has to be said that Shisui's Kotoamatsukami is quite intimidating. Being stared at by those eyes really makes your scalp tingle.
Shisui gently touched Shisui's forehead, and the kaleidoscope shaped like a shuriken began to slowly rotate as it looked at Shisui.
"Zhixue, this is for your safety, trust me..." Shisui's right eye emitted a strange light, and the eye technique of Kotoamatsukami was stored in Zhixue's left eye by Shisui through transcription and sealing.
When Shisui is in extreme danger, this seal will be broken, and the light of Kotoamatsukami will penetrate any barrier and strike the enemy's brain, achieving perfect control. However, the duration is not very long, because Shisui plans to use the long-lasting Kotoamatsukami in his left eye as a backup plan, the key to saving the entire Uchiha clan and Konoha.
Sensing the appearance of the seal, Zhi Xue breathed a slight sigh of relief. She had thought that Zhi Shui had discovered she was no longer the original Zhi Xue and was about to attack her. If he were to use the Kotoamatsukami on her, many secrets would likely be exposed.
……
Three months have passed since the terrible attack on Zhixue. According to the barrier team's report, the number of intrusions by outsiders has disappeared for a long time. The Uchiha clan has also maintained this status quo, without making any major moves. Gradually, everyone has forgotten about the incident.
Shisui successfully returned to the Guard Corps and became a happy slacker opposite Ichiraku. Every day, besides slacking off, sleeping, practicing sage techniques, and training in the virtual training ground, there seemed to be nothing else to do. However, even though Danzo was still dismissed, Shisui would still often remind Shisui not to reveal the Mangekyou Sharingan's abilities, and Shisui would always agree without getting annoyed.
In the training ground, the corpse of a Jonin disappeared as a stream of data, and Zhixue wiped away non-existent sweat from her forehead.
After two months of training, her strength has almost reached the Shadow level. In addition, she has almost mastered the Inorganic Reincarnation Technique. When she has time, she will go to Dragon Cave to learn other immortal techniques. It's just a pity that the rewards for slacking off for these two months are not very good.
Most of the items were shuriken, scrolls, and small toys. The most valuable item was probably a new sword, which was said to be the weapon used by Tobirama Senju. However, because he wasn't very skilled in Lightning Release, he couldn't unleash the sword's true power.
Waking up in the training ground, Zhi Xue climbed out of her comfortable bed, glanced at the alarm clock showing 7:44, and without any panic, formed a hand seal.
"The art of shadow clone."
A wisp of white smoke appeared beside Zhi Xue, and Zhi Xue's shadow clone, dressed in a security team uniform, stared at Zhi Xue with dead fish eyes.
"Hey, employing child labor is illegal!"
"Well, hiring yourself shouldn't count, and I'm just asking you to temporarily fill in for me. I'll be right there after I finish eating," Zhixue said dismissively, stretching.
"Sigh, alright." The shadow clone sighed, ultimately succumbing to the tyranny of the main body and obediently went to report to the guard post.
"One day, I will be summoned and I will definitely seek revenge. For example, I will push down the original body and teach her a lesson in bed..." The shadow clone, feeling somewhat indignant, swung its little pink fist and muttered during the journey.
Of course, this was just the shadow clone talking; if she actually did it, the person playing the role might be reversed.
Zhi Xue was completely unaware of the shadow clone's imagined scenario. After getting up, she changed her clothes, washed up, ate breakfast, and was ready to head to her workplace. Just as she was about to step out the door, the system's voice rang out.
Ding! The system store discount has been delivered. Do you wish to receive it?
Zhixue lifted one of her small feet back over the threshold.
"Wow, three months have passed in the blink of an eye. Since there's a discount, cough cough, let's let the shadow clone fill in for a while. Anyway, he's the one who goes to work all the time, so it doesn't matter whether I go early or late. But I'm so poor right now, can I afford the discount?"
Chapter 62, Izanagi (transfer seal)
Early in the morning, it was still a bit chilly in early autumn. On his way to the Ninja Academy, young Sasuke put on a thick coat.
As Itachi Uchiha, who was on a mission, passed by, a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes when he saw Sasuke walking alone by the roadside.
"Ah, if you want to see your little brother, you should come after get off work. We should go now," Kakashi said, patting Itachi on the shoulder.
"Hmm." After taking one last look at Sasuke, Itachi and Kakashi leaped onto the rooftops and quickly arrived at the place where Shisue had been attacked by Root three months ago.
"So this is where it is?" Itachi's expression was somewhat surprised. He didn't expect that the place where the Anbu were monitoring the Uchiha clan was right in front of his own clan's gate.
"Well, the most dangerous place is the safest place. But I didn't expect you, a member of the Uchiha clan, to be placed here." Kakashi jokingly shrugged, then led Itachi through several alleys to a thatched hut where miscellaneous items were stored.
After sweeping away the dust on the ground, Kakashi groped around on the ground for a while, then pulled on a cover, revealing a long iron ladder in their view.
After Kakashi went down first, he waved to the seven opponents.
Itachi didn't say much and climbed down with him.
"Oh, it's Kakashi-senpai. Wait... this is Uchiha fighting seven people at once? He's from the Uchiha clan!" In the hidden monitoring room below, an ANBU member wearing a tanuki mask pointed at Itachi incredulously.
"It's alright. The Hokage has already allowed Itachi to come here. Trust the Third Hokage's judgment," Kakashi explained to the Anbu.
Upon hearing that it was Hiruzen Sarutobi's order, the Anbu didn't say anything more, but Itachi felt that the Anbu seemed to be looking at him very awkwardly.
"Alright, since it's the Hokage's order, I won't say anything more. However, this is a highly confidential location in Konoha, and its location must not be revealed, not even to your closest family members."
"Don't worry." Itachi nodded, and then the ANBU member led Kakashi to the monitor screen at the front desk.
There are more than a dozen surveillance machines here, with various types of serial numbers monitoring the Uchiha clan's every move in the surrounding area from hidden cameras.
Whenever the Uchiha clan prepares any large-scale activities outside, the surveillance cameras here can detect them.
Itachi looked at a scene on the monitor where Shiki ran out of the clan, seemingly a little unhappy.
"Excuse me, is this real-time surveillance?" Itachi Uchiha asked several Anbu members sitting at the front desk.
Several ANBU members glanced at the one-against-seven situation, then turned their attention to Kakashi.
Kakashi: ………
Unfortunately, Itachi is from the Uchiha clan, and that identity is somewhat sensitive when he comes here. However, the Hokage has already granted him permission, so there's nothing particularly taboo about it.
Kakashi nodded to several Anbu members, and then one of them spoke up to explain to the seven-man team.
"It is indeed real-time 24-hour monitoring with an error of no more than 0.2 seconds. Moreover, the cameras we use are the most advanced technology with high resolution. Even if a dragonfly flies in, we can detect it. However, this is only a decision we have to make in response to the recent threat from the Uchiha clan."
"You don't need to worry too much. This is just a necessary precaution for Konoha." Kakashi seemed to sense the sadness of the one-against-seven situation and went over to pat him on the shoulder to comfort him.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. I'm an Anbu now, and I'll keep everything that Konoha needs to keep secret." Kakashi looked at Itachi's unwavering gaze and nodded.
He was genuinely worried that Itachi might find this scene too much to handle. It's like being a soldier on a mission for the country, only to discover that the person you're tasked with dealing with is your own family member—most people couldn't accept that.
……
Ding! Discounted items have been delivered. Please check them.
Note: The discount store policy has been modified.
"Chief, what changes have been made to the system?"
Ding! The discount store has been changed to update every 3 months, but discounted items will be added during the period and will not disappear.
Upon hearing the news, Zhi Xue opened the discount store without much thought.
Item: Feather duster (A good mother's exclusive tool, which can be used for cleaning or as a weapon, with a 100% critical hit effect on her naughty son), Discounted price: 100 taels.
Item: Sturdy brick (a very useful tool for reasoning with others), discounted price: 2000 taels.
Skill: Great Elbow Strike: (A ninjutsu technique that concentrates immense power into a single point, possessing considerable destructive force; however, it requires strong physical attributes, and those with weak kidneys should use it with caution.) Discount Price: //
two.
Skill: Water Gun Technique (Improved Version): A ninjutsu that gathers water-style chakra at the fingertips and fires it. It boasts extremely high speed, high penetrating power, and high replayability. Discount Price: //
two.
Item: Izanagi (Translation Seal) — The ultimate power capable of distorting reality. It has no time limit after activation and will not cause loss of the Sharingan, but can only be used once. Discounted Price: 40 ryo. Usage: After setting and confirming the activation trigger, stare into the target's eyes for 10 seconds to perform the seal. If using it yourself, only the first step is required.
"Hmm, it seems there aren't many things I can buy." Zhixue took out her wallet, which she had saved up over the past three months, counted the money, and after a moment's consideration, bought Izanagi. This would be perfect for sealing on Shisui's body and would be very useful when Danzo tried to launch a sneak attack.
Shisui: So you're the only one who can use a watch as a stand-in, huh?
After buying Izanagi, Zhixue then looked at the other items.
Emmm...
Forget about the big elbow strike; she's quite self-aware and already has the Rasengan. However, you could buy a Water Gun; it's not very expensive and can be used for ranged attacks.
.........
While Zhixue was still at home dealing with discounts, her shadow clone was already lazily lying on a chair, with her two fair and jade-like legs propped up on the table, holding a bowl of hot Ichiraku Ramen in her hand.
"While the main body hasn't arrived yet, I'll enjoy this leisurely time on Xianyu a bit. Mmm... this tastes so blissful~" A blissful expression appeared on Zhi Xueying's pink face. Because Zhi Xue hadn't had time to eat breakfast this morning, she was still coming to work hungry. How cruel of her, even exploiting herself.
Chapter 63, Little Kyuubi.
"Clan leader, those old fogies from the Hokage faction have been politically suppressing us again lately. If we continue to endure this, we probably won't be able to live in peace any longer!"
"Fugaku, Inahisa's words make sense. The recent continuous suppression and demonstrations in Konoha have caused endless resentment among the clan members, especially that Danzo. Even with Root gone, he's still so arrogant, he simply doesn't take us seriously!"
In the lobby of the security headquarters, a group of high-ranking Uchiha officers sat together, chattering incessantly in Fugaku's ear.
The meeting was still filled with resentment, anger, and an uncontrollable ambition.
Konoha was originally founded by the Uchiha and Senju clans, but now that it has reached the fourth generation, not a single Uchiha has become Hokage, and the suppression against them is intensifying.
So many years have passed, why does the Uchiha clan receive this kind of treatment in Konoha?
"Clan leader, stop hesitating! When Orochimaru defected, we didn't seize the best opportunity. If Konoha takes another two years to recover, our Uchiha clan will probably never have a chance to rise again!" A radical young man in the clan slammed his fist on the table and said, instantly winning the approval of many clansmen around him.
"Konoha Village has been established for so many years, its position is already deeply entrenched, and there are several other clans watching over it. Our chances of winning are slim." Fugaku sighed, and then someone else jumped out and said a name that could instill fear in everyone in Konoha Village.
"The Nine-Tails! But isn't our clan's Sharingan supposed to be able to suppress the Nine-Tails? Didn't our ancestor, the Uchiha, use the Sharingan to control the Nine-Tails and wreak havoc on Konoha, turning the world upside down?"
"Yes, we'll use the Nine-Tails to create chaos, then gather our elite forces to infiltrate Konoha and uproot them. At that point, they won't be able to disobey us."
Upon hearing this plan, most of the clansmen present revealed maniacal smiles. To have the Uchiha clan in power was truly wonderful.
There were also a few pro-peace Uchiha ninjas in the meeting, but constrained by the situation, they didn't voice their thoughts. These guys were already insane; speaking out would probably be pointless and would only get them purged by their clansmen.
Although it sounds easy, it is extremely difficult for the Uchiha clan to get close to the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, since the Anbu under the Hokage's command are not blind.
"Let's postpone this matter for a while; it's not the right time yet." After a long silence, Fugaku finally spoke, leaving the people in the meeting somewhat puzzled.
Is the clan chief also a cowardly peacemaker?
After a heated debate, the meeting ended. Many radical members of the pro-war faction were once again left empty-handed by Fugaku. It wasn't that Fugaku didn't want to take action, but rather that if he did, the situation would be extremely tragic, even worse than the Nine-Tailed Night a few years ago.
If he agrees, Konoha will surely be drenched in blood. Even if the Uchiha clan succeeds, they will likely pay an extremely heavy price. Furthermore, Fugaku has not yet figured out Uchiha Shisui's thoughts.
A Kage-level fighter can change the entire battle situation. With Shisui's strong support and without his help, the situation is completely different. It was precisely because of Shisui's reputation and power that the clan dared to propose a "coup".
Fugaku Uchiha returned to the Uchiha clan compound from the guard unit with a restless and uneasy mind. When he was on the outskirts of the compound, he took a deep look at the camera hidden in the cracks of the rocks in the distance.
……
Ichiraku faced away from her. One of his shadow clones was propped up on the table, seemingly half-asleep, while Shiyuki's real body was lying on the small bed in the guard post, training in ninjutsu.
Ding! Daily slacking-off task completed (30/30), system reward issued: Little Nine-Tailed Fox.
