Shizune's expression turned grim as she said, "The second investigation team has also lost contact. The same goes for the secret escort team that was also following us."
Click!
Tsunade clenched her fist.
After hearing the news, she realized the seriousness of the problem.
I thought it was just a minor issue. Although I didn't know the specific reason, I figured that if Konoha sent a few ninjas, they could calm things down. It wouldn't be too late to investigate later.
But now it seems that easily swallowing up two Konoha squads and one Anbu squad is no small problem.
This is like a dragon crossing the river!
"Who will it be?"
Tsunade pondered several possibilities and was about to gather more people to investigate further.
suddenly!
The office door was pushed open again.
Having just returned from the Land of Waves and not yet settled in, Shikamaru and Choji, each supporting the listless Izumo and Kotetsu, quickly entered the room with Asuma and Ino.
Before he could even bow, Shikamaru said with a solemn expression:
"Lord Hokage, something terrible has happened."
(Thanks to "辜沫" for the 350 reward! Thank you to "armsZ" for the 100 reward!)

Chapter 184: Is there a Feathered Robe and Mysterious Moon?
"Uchiha???"
In the Hokage's office, after listening to Shikamaru's rapid recounting of how his team had completed their mission as an envoy and returned to the village, he astutely discovered that Izumo and Kotetsu were under a genjutsu, and after dispelling it, he learned some shocking news from them.
Tsunade's pupils contracted slightly as she looked at the two gatekeepers who hadn't fully recovered and asked:
"Is it definitely the Uchiha clan?"
Izumo Kamui nodded emphatically, his voice slightly weak as he said, "A formation of more than ten people, each with the Uchiha clan crest printed on their cloak. The one who activated his Sharingan and instantly fell under the genjutsu—now that I think back, I recognize him—it's Uchiha Sasuke!"
"Sasuke Uchiha still has more than ten Uchiha ninjas."
Upon receiving the latest information, Tsunade's expression became exceptionally serious.
During her trip to Kasuma Village, she learned from Yamato that the other Uchiha members were still alive.
I didn't think the number would be too many, after all, the list of deaths of the Uchiha clan in Konoha is there.
Unexpectedly, this time, the number of Uchiha members has reached ten.
Such a number is not small for a typical small ninja clan.
'Just how many Uchiha were sent away back then?' Tsunade wondered.
Then, she became increasingly angry with the Third Hokage and Danzo Shimura, who were responsible for the current state of the Uchiha clan.
If they weren't already dead, she would love to punch them right now.
Look at the mess you've left me with!
At this moment, Shikamaru, who had already learned from Shizune that a battle had taken place at the Naga Shrine and that several Konoha teams had been wiped out, quickly analyzed the situation:
"As expected, Sasuke and his group are currently inside the Naka Shrine. The possibility of them fighting amongst themselves is extremely low. There were no Konoha ninjas there to begin with. Their enemy must be someone else entirely."
"There's only one enemy I can think of that would make Sasuke and the other Uchiha ninja risk exposing themselves and ignoring Konoha right next to them, just to come to the Naka Shrine and fight them."
At this point, Shikamaru looked up at Tsunade.
Tsunade took over the conversation and slowly said:
"Itachi Uchiha."
"So, the current situation is that the two Uchiha factions are fighting inside the Naga Shrine. Sasuke and the others are doing this for revenge. But why did Itachi Uchiha also come to Konoha on his own initiative?" Shizune asked, still somewhat puzzled, after her analysis.
At that moment, a new voice interjected: "For the Sharingan."
Wearing a forehead protector with the character "oil" on it, Jiraiya, with his waist-length white hair, walked in with a serious expression.
"Jiraiya-sama."
Shizune, Shikamaru, Izumo, and the others quickly spoke up upon seeing this.
Jiraiya nodded casually and continued the previous topic: "For the Mangekyou Sharingan to evolve further, it must be fused with the Sharingan of a close relative. I think the reason why Itachi Uchiha spared Sasuke Uchiha back then was because he was his younger brother."
Because of the legendary appearance of Hagoromo Gengetsu in the human world, Jiraiya has spent the past two years collecting and reviewing relevant materials from the Warring States period, hoping to gain a deeper understanding of Hagoromo Gengetsu.
By chance, he didn't find any information about Yu Yi Xuan Yue in an old book, but he did discover a secret about the Uchiha clan.
The author seems to know a lot about the Uchiha clan.
In the book, he tells the story of how Madara Uchiha gouged out the eyes of his younger brother, Izuna Uchiha, in order to evolve his Sharingan once again.
I don't know if he misheard the version back then, or if he deliberately smeared Uchiha Madara.
Anyway, after Jiraiya finished reading it, he immediately thought of Itachi Uchiha and Sasuke Uchiha.
He made those remarks because he was unaware of the truth behind the night of the massacre.
"I don't know who said the Uchiha were a cursed clan. Now it seems that it is indeed true."
The idea that brothers killing each other is the only way to gain greater power is something Shikamaru finds hard to believe.
But now is not the time to continue discussing this issue.
"We must never allow Itachi Uchiha to obtain Sasuke's eyes, or for Sasuke to obtain Itachi Uchiha's eyes!"
Since the older brother can evolve by taking the younger brother's eyes, the younger brother can also evolve by taking the older brother's eyes.
Itachi Uchiha and Sasuke Uchiha are now both S-rank rogue ninja of Konoha.
Unlike Naruto, Shikamaru didn't act on emotion and immediately suggested to Tsunade, "Hokage, we must send out a large force as soon as possible to seal off the Naka Shrine and wipe out Itachi Uchiha, Sasuke, and the others."
Tsunade nodded and added, "One more thing."
She looked at Izumo and Kotetsu and asked, word by word, "Is Hagoromo Gengetsu among the Uchiha ranks?"
The moment the words "Feathered Robe and Mysterious Moon" were uttered, the Hokage's office fell silent.
Compared to others in the ninja world who had only heard of Hagoromo Gengetsu's name in writing or speaking, the Konoha ninjas, whose Root organization had been wiped out right under their noses, had a much deeper impression of Hagoromo Gengetsu.
Izumo and Kotetsu nervously swallowed, and after thinking carefully, shook their heads and said:
"I'm not entirely sure. Sasuke Uchiha attacked too quickly; we didn't even get a clear look at everyone before we were caught in the genjutsu."
Tsunade frowned, having not received accurate information.
After a quick thought, she made a decision.
"Asuma, Shizune, quickly gather all Chunin and Jonin in the village who are not on missions. I will personally lead this operation!" Tsunade ordered.
Although the Uchiha ninjas were powerful, it seemed a bit too audacious for just a dozen or so of them to act right under Konoha's nose.
Unless they have other guarantees.
The only thing Tsunade could think of was another Mangekyou Sharingan ninja who appeared with Sasuke at the Fire Temple and Mount Katsuragi, or perhaps, the arrival of Hagoromo Gengetsu himself.
In addition, there were Itachi Uchiha, Sasuke Uchiha, and others.
With so many powerful enemies in the village, Tsunade, as the Hokage, had to go there in person instead of sitting motionless in her office like the Third Hokage.
"Yes, Lord Hokage!" Asuma and Shizune immediately took action upon receiving the order.
"I'll go too." Thinking of the person he had brushed past while trying to spy on someone before and while trying to escape being chased, Jiraiya solemnly chose to go along.
Tsunade did not refuse.
Soon, the available Chunin and Jonin in the village gathered, and Tsunade and Jiraiya did not delay, leading everyone to quickly head towards the Uchiha clan's territory, which had been deserted for a long time.
Izumo and Kotetsu, who had been under the illusion spell and had not fully recovered, stayed behind.
The two looked at each other, understanding each other's meaning through their eyes.
If Yu Yi Gengetsu was indeed in the previous Uchiha group, wouldn't that mean that the two of them survived from the enemy?
wrong!
It should be said that the two of them were ninjas who had fought against the legendary Yu Yi Gengetsu, who was said to be on par with the gods, and survived.
However, thinking of his colleagues who were on their way to Nanka Shrine at that moment...
Izumo and Tetsuo still felt it was better not to have this achievement.

Chapter 185 Disaster to Chiyu
Nanga Shrine.
The buildings, which were originally dilapidated but still able to stand, were completely reduced to ashes by Itachi Uchiha's Susanoo.
"Uchiha Flame Formation!"
A deep red barrier, its surface wreathed in blazing flames and so strong that even tailed beasts couldn't break it in a short time, rose up and sealed the massive Susanoo inside.
Compared to before, Sasuke and the others, who had been injured and reduced by half, were now scattered around the Uchiha Fire Formation, their hands pressed against the barrier, constantly channeling chakra to maintain its existence.
Bang!
When the Ten-Fist Sword struck the barrier, it not only failed to cause any damage, but instead caught the barrier's fire, causing the sword to burst into flames.
Itachi Uchiha watched the outcome expressionlessly, without continuing to control Susanoo.
Even if they could break the fire array, it would take a lot of time and their limited chakra.
With a flick of his Mangekyou Sharingan, Itachi Uchiha's massive Susanoo gradually dissipated, leaving only a portion of his ribs to protect his entire body.
If you want to drag this out, then let's drag it out.
He looked at Sasuke, about to say something.
Sudden.
