Konoha: Rebuild the glory of the Uchiha

Chapter 2: Mito Uzumaki's Confusion. (Please recommend and add to your favorites)

The normal path to becoming Hokage was blocked with Tobirama Senju, so Uchiha Kusunoki only had one option left.

That is to wait!

Until Tobirama Senju dies, even though Uchiha Nan has a trump card that can temporarily contend with Tobirama Senju: the Mangekyou Sharingan trial card.

But what good is having the Mangekyou Sharingan? Tobirama Senju did kill Izuna Uchiha, who also possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan.

He couldn't really expect to incite the Uchiha clan to launch a coup with him, so it would be more reliable to find a way to seek refuge with Uchiha Madara, who was hiding in a cave. At least Uchiha Madara didn't discriminate based on race, and his equal discrimination wasn't against every single Hashirama.

Uchiha Nan had no intention of wasting the Mangekyou Sharingan trial card, which he cherished and had been reluctant to use even in several perilous situations, on the fight against Senju Tobirama.

No one knows how many forbidden techniques Tobirama Senju researched specifically to deal with the Uchiha clan while he was alive. If you want to know, you will only have the opportunity to look through the Scroll of Seals after you become Hokage.

However, Uchiha Nan has finally made it. By tonight, Tobirama Senju's body should be completely cold.

Thinking of this, the gloom in Uchiha Nan's heart caused by the bad luck in drawing cards vanished, and he couldn't help but feel happy. A wild smile appeared on his face, which then turned into the Uchiha's ancestral maniacal laughter.

"Ha ha ha ha"

"Hehehe!!"

"."

"Cough cough cough, I choked on my saliva."

Uchiha Nan coughed twice, then suddenly heard two meows. A completely black cat climbed in through the window, habitually jumped onto Uchiha Nan's bed, flicked its tail twice, and sat down.

"Nan, we've got the information."

"The negotiations between Konoha and the Raikage this time were indeed ambushed. As you guessed, the Second Hokage lured away the pursuers alone, and his chances of survival are slim."

The black cat licked the fur on its paws, changed its sleeping position, lay on its belly on the soft mattress, and just lay there with its four paws on the ground. Uchiha Nan sat down next to it and skillfully stroked its fur.

"I got this information from Chazi; it took a lot of effort to pry it out of his mouth."

"Well done, Little Manji."

Banji is Uchiha Nan's summoning beast, and Chachi is Uchiha Kagami's summoning beast. The Uchiha clan and the ninja cat clan have been friends for generations, and the ninja cats under Granny Cat's command often sign contracts with the Uchiha clan.

Ninja cats are small and agile, making them excellent at gathering information. They have specialized intelligence channels in the ninja world.

After Uchiha Nan displayed his talent at the Ninja Academy, he was introduced by his clan, and Granny Cat had Banji sign a contract with Uchiha Nan. At that time, Banji was still a little guy.

Over the years, when Uchiha Nan went out of the village to do missions, Banji had gone through life and death with him several times. Uchiha Nan trusted Banji and sent him out to gather information.

"How are you going to thank me?"

Manji made gurgling sounds and showed an expression of enjoyment on his face, very satisfied with the cat-petting master Uchiha Nan's skills.

"Three bottles of cat grass!"

"No, double it!"

Manji twitched its tail, indicating its displeasure.

"no problem!"

Uchiha Nan was in a great mood. She took out a jar of cat grass from the drawer and tossed it to Manji.

"I'll buy you the remaining five bottles tomorrow."

Manji couldn't wait to open the can of cat grass, grab a handful, and take a big bite.

"This is the taste; the product is very authentic."

"aa+!"

Manji showed an expression of great enjoyment, poured out all the catnip from the bottle, spread it on the bed, and rubbed it around with its legs spread wide.

"Manji, remember that the ninja cat you're close to has been staying in Konoha these past few days, keeping an eye out for information for me."

"Manji? Manji?"

Manji's eyes were vacant, his tongue was sticking out, and his two paws were mechanically stuffing cat grass into his mouth. He was obviously munching on cat grass and getting high.

Forget about Banji for now. Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others haven't returned yet, and we haven't brought back news of Tobirama's death. Let's wait and see.

sleep!

A few days later, Hiruzen Sarutobi and his group hurriedly returned to Konoha, bringing not the good news of a ceasefire, but bad news that could shake the entire village.

Negotiations between Konoha and the Raikage broke down, the Raikage was ambushed and killed by his subordinates Kinkaku and Ginkaku, and Tobirama Senju died in battle.

Thousand Hands Clan Land

"Tobirama, he's dead?"

"How is this possible? How could Tobirama be dead?"

Upon receiving the news, Mito Uzumaki looked bewildered and lost, still reeling from this devastating blow. She simply couldn't believe that her brother-in-law, Tobirama, would die.

In Mito's memory, Tobirama was always so calm and resourceful, managing Konoha perfectly after Hashirama's death.

His strength was among the best in the ninja world. He survived the chaos of the Warring States period and died during a ceasefire agreement, a fact that Mito Uzumaki could hardly believe.

Mito Uzumaki looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi, hoping he would say something, but reality is reality. Hiruzen Sarutobi could only remain silent, afraid of provoking Mito Uzumaki.

Tears welled up in Mito's eyes, but she quickly wiped them away and glared at Hiruzen Sarutobi with a sharp look.

"Tell me everything from beginning to end, without omitting a single word!"

Mito Uzumaki's tone was icy, and due to her unstable emotions, her chakra flowed out with her words.

The Uzumaki clan's chakra was already abundant, and with Mito being the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki, the chakra fluctuations she emitted made it difficult for Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others to breathe.

Konoha had just ended a great war; the First Shinobi World War lasted a full eight years. Even though Konoha was strong and healthy, the eight years of war had taken a heavy toll on the village, leaving it severely weakened.

At this critical juncture, the village's Kage has died. If the situation is not handled properly, Konoha could very well fall apart.

"Yes, Lady Mito."

Hiruzen Sarutobi repeatedly agreed, recounting how the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, and the Second Raikage were ambushed by Kinkaku and Ginkaku during their negotiations, and how they were then pursued by Kinkaku and Ginkaku's elite forces.

In the end, Tobirama Senju sacrificed himself to act as bait, covering the escape of his group. Hiruzen Sarutobi recounted this story from beginning to end.

Finally, Hiruzen Sarutobi, of course, didn't forget to mention that Tobirama had appointed him as the Third Hokage before his death.

Mito Uzumaki interrupted several times, asking specific questions and making Hiruzen Sarutobi repeat them several times, as did everyone else present.

Combined with Kurama's unique ability to sense emotions, Mito Uzumaki ultimately concluded that Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others were not lying.

Mito Uzumaki looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi with a complicated expression, and for the first time began to doubt Tobirama's judgment. Were these little brats in front of her really worth Tobirama sacrificing himself for?

And what about this Hiruzen Sarutobi? Does he deserve the position of Hokage?
