Evil Uchiha brat, I'll marry you myself.

“I know about this matter, and I am investigating it secretly.”

"Therefore, Shimura clan head, you should also investigate who is disrupting the peace of Konoha. Consider this a lesson for you."

"As for Uchiha Tetsushin, the bottom line is that he cannot kill a Jonin. After being imprisoned for a month, I will naturally release him back to the Uchiha clan."

Tobirama Senju glanced at the Shimura spy and even wondered if he had orchestrated this whole thing.

After all, with Chief Shimura seriously injured, the Shimura spy group would be the biggest beneficiaries.

"Yes, Lord Hokage, I promise to investigate thoroughly."

Shimura, the spy, lowered his head and spoke with great respect.

"Since the Hokage has said so, then we will all leave. We apologize for being too impulsive."

The Uchiha vice-clan head spoke helplessly, but thankfully, at least he knew that Uchiha Teshin was still alive.

"let's go."

As soon as the Uchiha vice-clan leader gave the order, the surrounding Uchiha Jonin instantly moved, appearing and disappearing as quickly as mice.

After seeing that the Uchiha members had completely left, Tobirama Senju narrowed his eyes and finally spoke again: "So, Dan-spy, do you know who in your clan is provoking the Uchiha clan?"

Upon hearing this, Shimura Tano, who was standing next to the spy, immediately felt a pang of panic.

If I were to expose myself, wouldn't I be severely punished, and in serious cases, I might even die?

"This... Lord Hokage, I'm sorry, I don't know yet. Everything happened too suddenly."

"However, Hokage-sama, rest assured, I will definitely find out the culprit behind all this."

Shimura, the spy, looked apologetic.

Tianye is his confidant now, how could he easily betray him?

"Do not you know?"

Tobirama Senju glanced at the spy a few more times, paused for a few breaths, and then spoke again: "Spy, you should know that sometimes playing with fire can lead to getting burned."

“These last few times, I was still nearby. Next time, your entire clan might really be wiped out.”

"Haha, second brother, it's not as serious as you make it out to be. How could the Uchiha clan be so ruthless?"

Hashirama Senju, who was standing nearby, immediately spoke up in rebuttal.

Tobirama didn't offer much explanation for this.

"Good luck to you. At least you should think about Danzo. I still think highly of his potential."

After saying that, Tobirama Senju took Hashirama and left.

Seeing that everyone around him had disappeared, Shimura Dan's eyes immediately turned cold, like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows.

"You all go and treat the injured. As for you, Tianye, come with me for a moment."

"Clan leader, are you holding back when you speak to the Hokage?"

Inside the council chamber, Shimura Tano addressed the group spy seated in his seat, asking him a question.

"That's natural. If it weren't for good luck, our Shimura clan might have really been severely injured by the Uchiha clan."

"What did you do to provoke an elite Jonin from the Uchiha clan to assassinate you, and even attack my son?"

Shimura Dan's eyes held a hint of curiosity.

"This is actually just a previous conflict, but now I won't easily provoke the Uchiha clan."

Shimura Tano spoke up about his plans, his expression seemingly serious, but in reality, his heart was already as cold as winter.

As expected, seeking revenge through one's family is impossible.

"That's good. Go and comfort the injured clansmen. I plan to establish a good image during this time and try to take control of the entire clan's power before the clan leader recovers from his injuries."

As the saying goes, the young inherit from the old. As Danzo's father, he naturally had great ambitions and was unwilling to be inferior to others.

He was confident that under his leadership, the Shimura clan would become even stronger.

"Yes, Chieftain, I will make the arrangements."

Shimura Tano lowered his head slightly and slowly retreated, making it difficult to see the expression on his face.

......

Meanwhile, in the Hokage's office, the Second Hokage, Tobirama, stared speechlessly at the mountain of documents piled up before him.

He seemed to understand somewhat why his elder brother had stepped down.

"Bang bang bang~"

Upon hearing the knocking at the door, Tobirama Senju's expression immediately turned serious:

"Enter."

The newcomer was the captain of the Dark Guard, who was wearing an animal mask.

"Is something wrong?"

The commander of the secret service knelt on one knee, speaking respectfully:

"Reporting to the Hokage, we have focused our investigation on the Shimura clan's recent communications."

"One noteworthy point is that one letter was first sent to the post station and then delivered to the Hyuga clan by the post station."

"Ok?"

Tobirama Senju's eyes twitched.

Could this matter be related to the Hyuga clan?

Tobirama Senju wasn't as wary of the Hyuga clan.

At least, on the surface, they don't seem to have any ambition.

However, sometimes, what seems harmless is the most deadly.

"Have you uncovered any specific details?"

"I'm sorry, Lord Hokage, no."

"Well, you go down first."

Tobirama Senju waved his hand. "That's right. If there really were letters being exchanged, they would probably have been destroyed long ago."

Rubbing his temples, Tobirama Senju knew he needed to speed up his consolidation of power.

At the very least, we must keep some of Konoha's main fighting forces under our control.

......

That night, the bright moon hung high, like a silver platter, and a figure in black robes appeared and disappeared like a ghost on the rooftops of the Shimura clan's territory. In the gentle breeze, the black-robed katana flickered in and out of view, like a phantom in the shadows.

The sudden intrusion of the Uchiha clan was like a sharp blade, piercing deep into the Shimura clan's heart and severely damaging their strength.

As a result, night patrols became virtually nonexistent and extremely lax.

At least, they believed that the Uchiha clan would never assassinate them again.

Chapter 29 Having a wife is just too much!

"Sure enough."

As Gu Mu crouched on the rooftop, he noticed that the ANBU ninjas who had been hiding around during the day had quietly withdrawn at night.

Is this a trap, or did Tobirama Senju do this on purpose?

Is it a case of using someone else to do the dirty work, or luring the snake out of its hole?

Gu Mu was uncertain, but it didn't affect him much.

Even if it's a trap, Gu Mu is confident he can escape in an instant.

Inside the Shimura clan's council chamber, Koki quietly lurked on the roof, listening to the conversation below.

"Tianye, how is it? What about the injuries of the clansmen?"

"Clan leader, most of our Chunin have suffered severe sword wounds. It will take at least a month for them to recover."

Shimura Tano began to report the intelligence he had compiled with a respectful expression.

"boom!!"

Upon hearing this, Shimura Dansei slammed his fist on the table next to him, his voice filled with rage: "Damn the Uchiha clan, they're like mad dogs."

"Chief, I don't think this is a bad thing, as long as we keep the people at ease during this time."

"At that time, more people will choose to support the clan leader."

"Even if the old patriarch recovers from his injuries in the future, he will probably lose a lot of support."

Shimura Tano's expression was serious.

"Hmm, Tianye, you're very good. I'll leave all this to you. As the clan leader, it's not really appropriate for me to take the initiative to recruit clan members."

Shimura nodded with satisfaction.

How come he never noticed before that this guy was so smart?
