I will use the ninja world to aid my cultivation of immortality.

Once he was sure there were no problems, Garuro stepped forward and handed the scroll to Naraku.

The scroll was opened casually.

Naraku lowered his head to read the contents of the scroll, and soon raised an eyebrow.

He looked up at the woman opposite him, staring intently as he asked, "Is your current clan leader Uchiha Mikoto?"

"Yes, Lady Mikoto is now the head of our clan," the woman said truthfully.

Naraku put down the scroll he had finished reading and tapped the table thoughtfully.

The reason why the Uchiha clan suddenly approached him was more interesting than he had imagined.

The scroll clearly states that Uchiha Mikoto, the clan leader, wants to lead the Uchiha clan to join the Land of Stars.

"When did your clan leader awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan?" Naraku suddenly asked, his gaze falling on the woman.

Upon hearing this, the woman stared at Naraku in astonishment.

Clan Chief Mikoto even told the other party about the Mangekyou Sharingan.

"This... the clan head awakened after Lord Fugaku's death." The woman, who subconsciously assumed that the Mangekyou Sharingan was recorded by Mikoto Uchiha in the letter, hesitated for a moment before replying.

He has indeed awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Upon hearing the woman's reply, Naraku immediately understood.

He said that even if Mikoto Uchiha was the clan leader's wife, it wouldn't make it possible for her to succeed Fugaku Uchiha as the clan leader.

Mikoto Uchiha's letter did not actually mention that she had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Naraku only sensed something was amiss when Mikoto Uchiha suddenly ascended to the position of clan leader, so he tested her.

"This is quite interesting. I didn't expect that Fugaku Uchiha's death would stimulate Mikoto Uchiha to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan, and that she even plans to join me," Naraku thought with amusement.

Mikoto Uchiha's awakening of the Mangekyou Sharingan was indeed a surprise to him, but what surprised him even more was her actions.

As husband and wife, Fugaku Uchiha was hesitant and timid, but Mikoto Uchiha was unexpectedly decisive.

Naraku expressed his admiration for this decisiveness.

Resources are not just things like money and goods, but also people.

The resources he intends to seize from the Land of Fire include those of the ninja clans in Konoha.

The Uchiha clan, for example, constitutes a large portion of this group.

Now that the Uchiha clan has taken the initiative to pledge allegiance to him, he certainly won't turn them away.

Soon, Naraku had Garuro fetch him a blank scroll.

In addition to replying to Mikoto Uchiha, he also included a Flying Thunder God kunai as a gift.

"The building is about to collapse; Konoha probably won't be able to hold out for much longer."

As the Uchiha woman left with the reply and the Flying Thunder God Kunai Yuga Rura's arrangements, Naraku turned to look at the sky outside the window and uttered a sigh.

Get a glimpse of the whole leopard.

Naraku felt that he might have overestimated Konoha.

Given the situation of the Uchiha clan, it's likely that Konoha will collapse from within before the four major ninja villages even conquer it.

Chapter 238 Certificate of Surrender

"Have you heard? The Uchiha clan has elected a new clan leader."

"The new clan leader? Who is it?"

"She was the wife of the former clan leader, Fugaku Uchiha. Her name was something like Mikoto Uchiha."

"Huh? What's going on? How did the former clan leader's wife become the new clan leader? Could it be that this Uchiha Mikoto is a hidden master of the Uchiha clan?"

"Who knows? Anyway, I don't know much about this Uchiha Mikoto."

"Who is the clan leader is not important. What is important is that the Uchiha clan has not sent anyone to the battlefield so far. Could it be that they are afraid of Kirigakure?"

"Afraid? Even if you're afraid, you still have to go to the battlefield. Otherwise, if the war is lost, can the Uchiha clan bear the responsibility?"

"That's right, the Uchiha clan is really outrageous. If something happens on the front lines, we'll be in danger!"

"."

Although the Uchiha clan lost all its power under Danzo's suppression, it was still a powerful clan among the many ninja clans.

When Mikoto Uchiha became the new head of the Uchiha clan, the news quickly spread throughout Konoha.

Most people in Konoha are relatively unfamiliar with Uchiha Mikoto.

Even if they knew each other, they obviously didn't expect that Uchiha Mikoto, the clan head's wife, would suddenly take over as the new clan head of the Uchiha clan after Uchiha Fugaku's death.

Amidst the discussions, Mikoto Uchiha's appointment as the head of the Uchiha clan was clearly viewed with great skepticism by the people of Konoha.

After all, what was spread was that Uchiha Mikoto became the clan leader.

Information such as the Mangekyou Sharingan and the intention to leave Konoha was effectively suppressed by the Uchiha clan.

"Uchiha Mikoto? Hmph, it seems the Uchiha clan is truly lacking in talent, actually letting a woman become the clan leader."

Inside the Hokage's office, Danzo sneered upon hearing the report from the Root organization members.

He naturally knew about Uchiha Mikoto.

But the only noteworthy thing about this woman is that she is the clan chief's wife.

Mikoto Uchiha has now become the head of the Uchiha clan.

In his view, it was highly likely that Fugaku Uchiha's sudden death caused chaos within the Uchiha clan.

Therefore, in order to quell the chaos as soon as possible, the Uchiha clan temporarily put Uchiha Mikoto, the clan leader's wife, in the position of clan leader.

In response, he could only say that the Uchiha clan had truly fallen into decline.

However, he was quite satisfied with this situation.

Indeed, compared to the weak Hiruzen, he was the best Hokage.

If he had become Hokage back then, the Uchiha clan wouldn't have been able to enjoy such a carefree life for so long.

The current decline of the Uchiha clan is a result of his hard work as Hokage.

"That's not enough. If we don't even mention that wretched woman Tsunade, the Uchiha clan has no value to exist. Next, we must press our advantage and completely wipe this evil clan out of the village." With a glint in his eyes and a deep expression, Danzo immediately gave instructions to the Root members opposite him.

Although the Uchiha clan has declined to the point where a woman is the clan leader, he has no intention of giving up the suppression.

On the contrary, he will not only continue to suppress them, but also ensure that the Uchiha clan has no chance to recover.

Although the conflict with Tsunade led to a split in Konoha and greatly reduced Danzo's power, he still held the position of Hokage and wielded considerable authority.

For example, the control of public opinion.

Despite the renewed outbreak of war, the Uchiha clan remained inactive.

This undoubtedly gave Danzo room to maneuver.

His instructions to the Root members were to mobilize their manpower to manipulate public opinion, hoping to use the pressure of war to make the Uchiha clan a pariah, despised by everyone.

Uchiha Mikoto

While Danzo was on his way, Tsunade was also pondering the matter of Uchiha Mikoto within the Senju clan's territory.

Mikoto Uchiha's sudden rise to power was something she hadn't expected either.

"I need to talk to them as soon as possible," Tsunade thought to herself.

The Uchiha clan, under the advocacy of Fugaku Uchiha, had previously been her supporters.

However, after Fugaku Uchiha's incident, the clan severed ties with her.

She even sent people to communicate with them multiple times, but they were all turned away.

She was very dissatisfied with this.

After all, war has now reignited.

In order to fight against Danzo and defend her rights, she took the initiative to take on the battlefields of both Sunagakure and Kirigakure.

Although the gathering of the Senju clan greatly increased the strength of her forces, without the support of the Uchiha clan, she would undoubtedly lose an important force.

Tsunade already has plans to return to the battlefield in Sunagakure to oversee the situation.

Therefore, before leaving, she planned to first deal with the Uchiha clan, so that they could continue to support the battlefield in Kirigakure as before.

Now, the Uchiha clan has elected a new clan leader.

Regardless of whether Mikoto Uchiha's position as clan leader is legitimate, as the clan leader, gaining the other party's approval would undoubtedly open a breakthrough for regaining control of the Uchiha clan.

Danzo and Tsunade both took action as Uchiha Mikoto rose to power.

late at night.

Inside the Uchiha clan chief's residence.

In the brightly lit bedroom, Uchiha Mikoto was drenched in sweat.

After a fierce battle, Naraku looked at the beautiful married woman beside him who hadn't recovered yet and was somewhat speechless.
