Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage

Chapter 235 Uchiha: Madara? This is a sure thing!

"Something's wrong with the Uchiha clan!"

"What's wrong?"

"They gathered together, apparently got into a dispute, and then were taken away..."

"Go and report to the magistrate!"

They immediately realized that something was wrong within the Uchiha clan, but just as they were about to take action, they stopped.

"Go that way, there are people here."

One of them concealed his aura and, guided by the Byakugan, quickly left from the direction opposite to the Uchiha clan's patrol route.

This intelligence is crucial!

Who knows what might happen to the Uchiha clan? It could happen in the next few days. We must not be careless at such a critical moment.

These two members of the branch family had received rigorous training in the Anbu and naturally knew how to handle the situation. They quickly and quietly sneaked back to the Konoha Anbu base.

Inside the base, Kakashi was handling various documents, while Kyohiko took the Nine-Tails clone for a stroll and also went to talk to Aoba Yamashiro about something.

but.

Nine-Tails was clearly not happy, sitting on Kyohiko's shoulder and complaining, "They call it freedom, but I'm practically sealed inside!"

"There are still differences."

Kyohiko replied.

The nine-tailed fox tilted its head, its claws twitching: "What's the difference?"

"Given the current situation, if you move around outside, you might get captured by the Uchiha and Madara's subordinates, and then you won't be free anymore."

Jingyan answered calmly.

Nine-Tailed Fox's face darkened.

斑？

Uchiha?

Isn't this nonsense?

If they don't take action, I'll be stuck with them like this for the rest of my life.

It would be better to seal it inside Kushina's body!

Just as it was about to speak, a sudden thought struck it, and it hurriedly asked, "You mean, the Uchiha clan might have formed a connection with Madara?"

"It's possible in a small percentage of cases."

Jingyan nodded slightly.

The Nine-Tails was excited.

Will Madara come?

"Unlikely. I suspect that Madara Uchiha is either now a chakra life form, having lost much of his fighting power, or he is already very old..."

Jingyan squinted. "He might be looking for Obito to cultivate a spokesperson."

"So, it's a pity that Madara won't be coming this time."

The nine-tailed fox perched on my shoulder, its previous excitement gone.

It has an extremely high enthusiasm for beating up Madara Uchiha, but as for Obito or the other Uchiha...

Then I'll lose interest.

Mainly.

Ryōmine Kyohiko wouldn't even bother with those small fry; there was nothing to be happy about.

"Madara won't come, but Uchiha... on that day, you'll have a chance to contribute."

"Okay, okay!"

Nine-Tails' eyes lit up when it heard this.

Not only can they go out for a stroll, but they can also kill members of the Uchiha clan?

That's a good feeling!

It's hard to suppress the excitement.

How can I cooperate with you?

"No need to cooperate. Just act like a normal Nine-Tails. I'll take care of everything else."

Jingyan said calmly.

Kurama instantly perked up, its little head already contemplating how to entertain the Uchiha clan members who had connections with Madara!

Outside the base.

In the Death Forest, near the ape base, Yamashiro Aoba's whistles constantly changed, mimicking various bird calls, and not far away...

A flock of black crows is fighting with the apes.

The apes of today have developed a higher level of combat intelligence. Although they do not yet know how to use ninjutsu, they have already learned to cooperate with each other and use simple ninja tools.

But at the same time.

The crows in the sky are also evolving their combat intelligence. Especially when Yamashiro Aoba uses whistles to command them, they dart and weave, one group fighting while another swoops down to launch a sneak attack, coordinating seamlessly.

I heard footsteps.

Yamashiro Aoba immediately used a whistle to command them to fly higher and further away from hiding.

Turning around, he saw Jingyan, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Kyohiko?"

Although they still meet and gather in the village every now and then, as their power grows and their tasks become more complex...

The intervals between gatherings are actually getting longer.

Most of the time, it's impossible to get everyone together; someone is on a mission or someone else is out in the field. Jingyan is even busier, having to handle a ton of tasks every day.

He trains the Ninja Birds here.

Most of those who came were other members of the ANBU; this was the first time Kyohiko had come in several months...

"A mission?"

"It's a small task, related to what you're doing now."

Jingyan shared his thoughts.

Using the Ninja Bird Summoning Contract as the core, we will further optimize the existing intelligence system.

If possible, Konoha's intelligence network could directly transmit and gather intelligence through a group of ninja birds.

no doubt.

At this stage, the crow under Yamashiro Aoba's command is the most suitable.

Upon hearing this, Yamashiro Aoba's eyes gleamed.

Ninja Beast System!

Previously, he had considered uniting these crows through a psychic contract, but he abandoned the idea due to financial resources, technology, and practical needs.

Unexpectedly, Yamashiro Aoba didn't need it, but Kyohiko took the initiative to bring it up, and further expanded and deepened the utilization and planning of the Ninja Bird.

Intelligence transmission.

This is indeed a good idea.

even--

"If the technology is advanced enough, we can also use the relationship between the ninja birds and their clan and contract as a medium to use the reverse summoning technique to bring the ninja birds and people back directly."

The Ibrahim clan is currently the main force in intelligence work.

Their ability to transform into smoke allows them to easily possess ninja birds, but it's unclear whether such possession can be recalled using reverse summoning techniques.

The mountain city's green leaves were filled with surging emotions.

He never imagined that the crows he had bred would one day hold such important significance. After much consideration and reflection, he felt somewhat worried…

"I'm afraid the crows I raise won't be strong enough."

"You don't need to worry about that. As the functionality is further enhanced, I will definitely provide you with some additional assistance. First, there's Orochimaru-senpai, who has some experience in raising ninja beasts. Second, there's the Inuzuka clan..."

The Inuzuka clan.

The only clan in Konoha that currently possesses the technology to raise ninja beasts.

In a sense, Kyohiko's decision to have Yamashiro Aoba and Orochimaru research ninja beasts and ninja birds would threaten the interests of the Inuzuka clan. The previous small-scale use and experiments were harmless.

but.

If this is rolled out on a large scale, then the interests of the Inuzuka clan must certainly be taken into account.

Furthermore, once the Uchiha clan is defeated, their ninja cats will definitely need to be utilized.

At that time, a new and highly sought-after profession will surely emerge in Konoha—

veterinary!

What a coincidence.

The Inuzuka clan are also experts in this area, but currently their veterinarians are limited to their own ninja dogs and are not yet so specialized in other breeds.

However, communicating with beasts should be a piece of cake for the Inuzuka clan.

Even if you're not skilled...

Kurokawa can also help.

As a special Sage Body, Kurokawa's abilities have been steadily increasing with the development of his physical strength and chakra, making him a Jonin without much difficulty.

However, once he unleashes his power, he cannot perfectly control himself, and Konoha is very strong now, so there is no need for Kurokawa to take risks and expose another of Konoha's trump cards.

and so.

Kurokawa has been staying in Konoha's Anbu during this time.

He remained in the Anbu mainly because he was prone to going berserk and couldn't perfectly control his Sage Chakra.

This process requires continuous practice and cannot be accomplished overnight.

But without a doubt, he is also a formidable fighting force.

These people, including the Inuzuka clan, must be utilized, and after the Uchiha incident is successfully detonated...

There is indeed such an opportunity.

Guards.

For the Uchiha, the guard force was not a particularly desirable power, but it would be different if other clans and commoners were included to form a joint guard force.

A group of ninjas from clans and commoner backgrounds, who also harbor hatred towards the Uchiha clan, then the Uchiha clan really isn't suited to be part of the bodyguard team...

Jingyan cleared his thoughts and then looked up at the mountain town of Qingye.

After considering it for a long time, Yamashiro Aoba said, "If that's the case, I can give it a try."

"it is good."

Jingyan nodded, and then gave some instructions, asking the other party to come up with a specific plan on how to coordinate, divide, and assign tasks.

As for summoning techniques, reverse summoning techniques, and the Inuzuka clan, he'll handle those.

Just then, a broken bamboo strip appeared in his hand.

This was sent by Kakashi.

Kakashi, while not yet having mastered the complete Flying Thunder God Technique, has little trouble using Shadow Clones for short-range information transmission.

It's prone to cracking and damage, but as long as it's delivered, it's fine.

Jingyan grabbed the Nine-Tails clone and vanished on the spot with a Flying Thunder God technique.

……

Inside the office, Hinata Kinka was reporting on what he had witnessed.

Jingyan listened quietly.

After the other party finished reporting, he asked, "Who from the Uchiha clan is leading the charge?"

"Judging from their chakra and height, it should be Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Shisui, but I can't be sure."

Hinata Chika answered respectfully.

Jingyan nodded slightly.

Shisui, Fugaku.

Forget about the latter.

Based on his understanding of Fugaku, he knew that guy definitely didn't have that kind of guts.

So, it was made by Zhishui?

Jingyan was secretly surprised, and then couldn't help but feel a little worried.

He already had a plan in mind regarding the Uchiha clan; now all that was left was to detonate it and close the net.

Could Zhishui have ruined his plans?

He looked at Kakashi: "Write this down, we'll deal with it together when I get back."

……

At this time, people were urgently gathered in two locations within the Uchiha clan's territory.

Fugaku, standing on high ground, watched everything unfold with the help of his ninja beasts.

Soon.

"Master of the family."

A person appeared behind him.

"Yashiro, how's it going?"

"We've already notified them. Besides, is it really necessary to be this cautious?"

"Of course, you see."

Fugaku points into the distance.

Looking down, the eighth generation could only see the clan members moving about in the distance. Although many had tried to hide their presence, they were still not difficult to spot if one looked closely...

They headed towards Uchiha Nobushi's house.

Uchiha Shinji.

Yashiro frowned, and said with displeasure, "What is this guy trying to do?"

"Our family was at a crossroads; they chose one path, while we chose another."

"Fugaku said in a low voice."

Yashiro paused for a moment, then nodded.

"I see!"

"Let's go."

……

Another place, by the lake.

Shisui recounted her situation to Kyohiko in detail, and Kyohiko breathed a slight sigh of relief after hearing her description.

Ok!

It did not affect the overall situation; in fact, to some extent, it greatly contributed to the overall situation that Konoha needed!

The water stopped flowing, just like a fishing spot being dug.

Although it startled the snake, it also attracted the fish.

but.

What surprised him was—

Zhishui's progress is truly astonishing!

Previously, he only had two tomoe, but now he has already awakened three tomoe. His physical abilities and chakra are much stronger than before.

The bloodline limit of the Uchiha clan is far superior to that of ordinary people!

of course.

The main reason is that Zhishui is clever.

Kyohiko gave the other person a deep look and said, "Don't make too many moves afterward. Let Fugaku handle it. Also... be careful!"

You mean...?

Zhi Shui frowned.

Who would kill him?

"If it were just them, they definitely wouldn't have the guts. But now, in a way, we're not fighting against these useless fools, but someone who seems to be Madara Uchiha. So you need to be careful!"

Jingyan explained.

Madara and Shisui had no clan ties whatsoever. He wouldn't care if Shisui were wiped out, let alone the Uchiha clan.

"I see."

A hint of melancholy appeared in Zhi Shui's eyes.

People of the same race face each other!

At present, this step seems unavoidable.

If the family is not cleaned up, the entire family may be implicated, but now, at least they can take the initiative.

With this in mind, Shisui gradually became more determined.

He did not betray.

But...

There is absolutely no future in following the so-called "Uchiha Madara".

……

"Lord Madara! Is it really that person?"

Everyone exclaimed in surprise.

Xinzhi nodded slightly.

"Absolutely right. The other side sent a special clone, but they know many Uchiha secrets. The real body should be Uchiha Madara."

"It's Madara..."

"Very good!"

"Conquer Konoha!"

Everyone got excited.

Back then, apart from Hashirama Senju, almost no one could defeat Madara!

Time passes.

Hashirama Senju is dead, and only "Little Hashirama" remains. How could he possibly be a match for Madara Uchiha!

"Just keep this to yourselves, don't spread it around, understand?"

Uchiha Nobushi gave instructions.

Only a few elders present shared his reluctance to follow Konoha.

From the beginning, everyone had intended to betray Konoha, and now Shinji is simply revealing the truth.

Everyone discussed it animatedly, and then the elders left satisfied, promising to help Xinzhi stabilize the situation.

but……

Not long after they left.

Why did you tell them?

A voice suddenly rang out from behind him.

Uchiha Shinji shuddered, then noticed the dark figure behind him twisting.

He immediately knelt down.

"My lord, I had no choice!"

"Oh?"

Black Zetsu sneered, "I'd like to hear just how desperate you were!"

Uchiha Nobushi quickly recounted the events of the day, mentioning some recent developments, before looking up and saying, "Sir, I have a feeling that Fugaku might be planning to make a move!"

According to Uchiha Nobushi's thinking, it was natural to strike first.

and so.

He hopes...

If Ban has any preparations, help them complete their "rebellion" as soon as possible!

"No rush."

Black Zetsu chuckled lightly, "Remember this technique."

As he spoke, he tossed down a scroll.

Xinzhi took it.

Above it is a seal for unsealing, and a special talisman.

"Lord Madara suspects that Kurama may have been sealed with a contract seal and some other sealing techniques. This seal can help break the seal."

"Yes! I understand!"

Uchiha Shinji was overjoyed.

Black Zetsu said coldly, "Let me finish!"

"Yes, I'm sorry..."

"Place this talisman inside your son, Tiehuo. It can suppress his words and actions, preventing him from ruining our plans again."

"Understood, sir! Thank you, sir!"

Uchiha Shinji had no doubts about him.

Such control-like talismans may not exist within the Uchiha clan, but it's not surprising that Madara, who has survived to this day, has mastered this technology.

"Um."

Black Zetsu has disappeared.

Uchiha Shinji breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face after leaving the basement.

It's done!
