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

"Gone?"

Inside the Senju clan's territory, Tsunade abruptly stood up from the sofa, looking at her subordinate who had come to report in disbelief.

"Yes, Lady Tsunade. The entire Uchiha clan has suddenly disappeared from their clan's territory, and neither the gatekeepers nor the sensory team found any Uchiha members leaving the village last night." Tsunade's subordinate nodded repeatedly, reporting the situation truthfully.

Once she was sure she hadn't misheard, Tsunade's expression began to change unpredictably.

how is this possible

How could the Uchiha clan members suddenly disappear?

Could it be that someone attacked the Uchiha clan's territory last night and killed all the Uchiha people?

wrong.

Putting aside the strength of the Uchiha clan, even if someone had attacked the Uchiha clan's territory, there would have been a lot of noise last night.

Even Danzo couldn't have done that.

So what exactly is going on?

"Quickly, thoroughly investigate the entire Uchiha clan territory. Look for any signs of battle or anything else; don't miss any clues." After a while, Tsunade, suppressing her surprise and doubt, immediately gave the order with a grim expression.

"Yes! I will go immediately." The subordinate was apprehensive and left hastily after receiving the order.

Tsunade wasn't the only one thoroughly investigating the Uchiha clan's territory; Danzo was too.

When Danzo learned that the Uchiha had suddenly disappeared, he was also greatly shocked and immediately sent people to the Uchiha clan's territory to investigate.

"There are no signs of a battle, and all the important valuables are gone. Lady Tsunade, could it be that the Uchiha clan has secretly defected from the village?"

"Given the current situation, this is indeed highly likely; otherwise, the sudden disappearance of the Uchiha clan would be impossible to explain."

"But the problem is how the Uchiha clan left the village. No one noticed any Uchiha leaving the village last night."

"Could it be that the Uchiha clan bribed the sensory team or the gatekeeper?"

"."

Tsunade and Danzo were not the only ones to discover the mysterious disappearance of the Uchiha clan; many ninja clans and high-ranking officials in Konoha were also informed of the news immediately.

In response to this situation, high-ranking members who seemed to support Tsunade unanimously gathered at the Senju clan's territory.

At this moment, when the results of the thorough investigation of the Uchiha clan's territory were relayed back, the high-ranking officials gathered here were all filled with astonishment and uncertainty.

There were no signs of a battle.

This means that the disappearance of the Uchiha clan was not due to an attack.

The disappearance of important property.

This further demonstrates that the disappearance of the Uchiha clan was not only due to their own actions, but also because they had been preparing for it for a long time.

In other words, the disappearance of the Uchiha clan was essentially a defection.

The only thing that's puzzling the higher-ups right now is how to get the Uchiha clan to leave.

"Do you still remember the attack on us by Sunagakure, Kumogakure, and the Land of Stars?" Suddenly, someone brought up a matter.

Upon hearing this, everyone present was taken aback at first, and then, as if they had realized something, their expressions changed drastically.

"You mean the Uchiha clan's defection came from that man?"

"In the current ninja world, the only person I can think of who could take away the entire Uchiha clan without a sound is that man."

"That can't be right. The Uchiha clan even sent assassins to kill them back then, and many of their elite members died because of it. How could these two sides be involved?"

"There's nothing they can't do. What does the death of a few people matter compared to actual benefits? With the Uchiha's strength, if they really surrendered to the Land of Stars, that man most likely wouldn't refuse. As for why the Uchiha defected..."

When someone raised doubts, others quickly began to calmly analyze the situation.

However, as the analysis progressed, he immediately became hesitant and unable to continue.

The Land of Stars is willing to accept the Uchiha clan, but why did the Uchiha clan defect from the village?

Many people present fell silent at this point.

The common people in high positions may not be aware of the Uchiha clan's plight, but the ninja clan leaders certainly are.

During Hiruzen Sarutobi's time, the Uchiha clan suffered overt and covert suppression.

After Danzo came to power, his suppression of the Uchiha clan became even more blatant and overt.

Despite being the strongest force in the village, they were not only not treated well, but were also constantly suppressed because of the selfishness of those in power.

Even a rabbit will bite when cornered, let alone the already aggressive Uchiha clan.

Given the Uchiha clan's situation, not launching a coup was already considered mild, and their defection was utterly insignificant.

Tsunade, who was sitting in the first seat, also remained silent.

While the Uchiha's defection greatly angered her, she was truly at a loss as to how to blame them for their actions.

"I will send people to investigate whether the Uchiha clan has defected to the Land of Stars. Right now, the most important thing is the war."

"Next, I'm going to the battlefield in Sunagakure immediately. We'll have to rely on you all for Kirigakure on the other side." Tsunade took a deep breath, looked around at everyone, and began to make arrangements.

Regardless of whether the Uchiha clan defected to the Land of Stars, their defection is undeniable.

Now that the Uchiha clan's strength is missing, the war pressure she faces will undoubtedly increase.

"Really? The Uchiha clan has defected?"

"Of course it's true, it's already been officially announced."

"How could this be? How could the Uchiha clan have defected?"

"Damn Uchiha, how dare they betray the village."

"This is troublesome. With the Uchiha defecting, won't the village's strength be greatly reduced? What will happen to the war then?"

"."

The Uchiha's defection not only shocked and angered Tsunade and others, but also caught Danzo completely off guard.

However, it's different from Tsunade's side.

Danzo was furious.

He had planned to completely wipe out the Uchiha clan, but now the other party had escaped.

Enraged, he publicly announced the Uchiha's defection within the village and even issued a large-scale manhunt, seemingly intending to exterminate the entire Uchiha clan.

However, such actions are clearly of no use.

Instead, his announcement stunned the people at the bottom of Konoha.

No one would have imagined that the Uchiha clan would defect.

Similarly, the defection of the Uchiha clan sent chills down the spines of many.

Because of the police department, many people in Konoha harbor hostility towards the Uchiha clan.

However, it is undeniable that the strength of the Uchiha clan is deeply ingrained in people's minds.

Now that even the village's wealthy families have left, many shrewd individuals have begun to consider their future.

There's no way around it. Konoha's ship is like the Titanic. At first, everyone thought it was an unsinkable super ship, but now it's showing signs of hitting an iceberg and sinking.

Chapter 241 The Uchiha Clan of the Land of Stars

The kingdom of stars.

Inside the Star Tower.

"The Uchiha clan is now in your hands."

Inside the office, Naraku gave instructions to Nonou, who had come to him.

Nono nodded and said, "Understood. I will integrate the Uchiha clan into our country as soon as possible."

She was quite surprised when she first learned of the Uchiha clan's defection.

But along with the surprise, I was also very happy.

The power of the Uchiha clan is beyond doubt.

Having received Naraku's instructions, Nonou has begun to consider how to arrange things for the Uchiha clan.

The treatment will naturally not be harsh.

After all, they are not like Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo, and they wouldn't be afraid of the Uchiha without a reason.

Moreover, she believed that with Naraku in charge, the Uchiha clan wouldn't have the ability to retaliate.

The preferential treatment was not only to appease the Uchiha clan, but also to send a signal to the outside world.

That is because their Star Kingdom has an inclusive spirit that embraces all rivers.

Even if they were enemies in the past, as long as they 'repent and reform' in time, the Star Kingdom will be willing to accept them sincerely.

Of course, while the treatment was one thing, Nono had no intention of leaving the Uchiha clan idle in other aspects.

The Uchiha clan's outstanding combat capabilities make them fully adaptable to any combat role.

Whether it's the police force stationed in Star City and other important cities in the country, or the military force deployed on the border and responsible for conquest, the Uchiha clan can be used as the main force with a little training.
