Analyzing the Ninja World Starting from Konoha

Chapter 234 Today, we must give the Uchiha an explanation!

Konoha's high-level conference room.

The selection of the Hokage has been finalized: the Third Hokage will temporarily serve as Hokage, with Tsunade assisting him. The next challenge facing everyone is an even more pressing issue—rebuilding.

The Nine-Tails' attack caused enormous damage to Konoha. The village's central area was razed to the ground, the Hokage Building was half-collapsed, the commercial street was almost completely destroyed, and the clan residences of many ninja clans were reduced to ruins.

The Konoha leadership learned from the Nine-Tails' attack and decided against gathering all the ninja clans together again. Since they were going to rebuild, they decided to distribute the clans to different parts of Konoha now to avoid being wiped out like they were this time.

In order to discuss the reconstruction, the Third Hokage summoned all the clan leaders of the major ninja clans of Konoha to this place.

The leaders of the various clans—Ino-Shika-Cho, Aburame, Inuzuka, Hyuga…—sat around the long table, their faces either serious or solemn.

Aoba originally didn't need to attend this meeting because he was alone, his house was fine, and he didn't need to worry about where he would be assigned.

However, since he was one of only two people who fought the mysterious masked man on the night of the Nine-Tails' attack, and the other Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, had already sacrificed himself, Aoba became the only key figure who had firsthand information.

The first half of the meeting focused on Konoha's post-disaster reconstruction efforts.

Compared to the previous timeline where the higher-ups characterized the Nine-Tails' rampage as a "natural disaster," this time, due to Aoba's strong intervention, many ninjas witnessed the masked man attacking Aoba. At the beginning of the meeting, the Third Hokage clearly characterized the incident as a "premeditated attack."

The meeting also discussed defense plans against attacks by large summoned beasts.

This is why Orochimaru's summoned snake was quickly suppressed by the Konoha ninja in the future Konoha Crush plan.

Starting today, Konoha has already begun targeted drills, and even during Pain's invasion, Konoha's Anbu performed admirably.

Aoba leaned back in his chair, his eyes half-closed, looking lost in thought. He wasn't interested in these things; it wasn't his place to make decisions anyway, so he could just quietly listen in.

Just as the reconstruction plan was nearing completion, the Third Hokage suddenly looked up at Aoba, who had been silent all along.

"Aoba."

The third generation spoke in a calm and unhurried manner, with a gentle tone.

"What are your thoughts on the masked man who attacked Konoha? From your encounter, were you able to determine his true identity? Or, will he launch a second attack on Konoha?"

Upon hearing this, the previously noisy discussion in the conference room instantly ceased.

All the clan leaders turned their gazes to Qingye.

Upon hearing this, Qingye slowly opened her eyes, inwardly rolling her eyes.

He had already given a detailed report on the masked man on the second day of the Nine-Tailed Fox's rampage.

Is bringing this up again in front of all the ninja clan leaders to pave the way for some upcoming decision?

Qingye quickly thought it over and made up her mind. She immediately stood up and spoke in a calm tone.

"I don't have much information to provide about that masked man."

"The opponent was very cautious, completely wrapped in a black robe and wearing a mask. However, judging from the fight, he possessed an extremely rare and bizarre space-time ninjutsu."

"His body can enter a state of intangibility at any time, making him immune to most physical and ninjutsu attacks, and he can also teleport in and out of space without warning. The reason why the Nine-Tails suddenly appeared in the center of Konoha was because he used this space-time ninjutsu to teleport it in directly."

"As for whether he will attack Konoha again..."

Aoba paused for a moment, then said calmly, "I severely injured the masked man once, so he probably won't dare to do it again anytime soon. But in the long run, since his target is the Nine-Tails, as long as Naruto... as long as the Jinchuriki is still in Konoha, he will come back sooner or later."

As for the two key pieces of information, Wood Release and Sharingan, Aoba didn't mention them at all.

Once the Sharingan is mentioned, the Uchiha clan will be put in a very difficult position, and Aoba also has his own plans.

After hearing Qingye's account, the clan leaders present all gasped in shock, their expressions becoming extremely solemn.

Can it ignore attacks that intangibly? And can it instantly teleport massive tailed beasts? These unpredictable and mysterious abilities are simply impossible to defend against!

Just as everyone fell silent, digesting this astonishing information, Danzo Shimura, who was sitting next to the Third Hokage, suddenly stood up.

Danzo held a baton in his hand and pointed at the huge map of Konoha Village on the table.

"Regarding the defense plan, I have something to add."

The leader narrowed his eyes and slammed his baton down on the very edge of the map. "The police headquarters was completely destroyed in the Nine-Tails' attack. I propose that the police headquarters, originally located in the center of the village, along with the Uchiha clan's territory, be relocated here for reconstruction!"

The moment these words were spoken, the entire conference room fell into a deathly silence.

"I object!"

Fugaku Uchiha, the head of the Uchiha clan, suddenly stood up and stared intently at Danzo.

"Our Uchiha clan's police force is responsible for maintaining daily security in the village. If we move the police force to the very edge of the village, how can we possibly respond in time to an emergency in the village center?!"

Fugaku's opposition was not without reason.

What kind of police force is it if it's not located in the center of the village?

This is blatantly stripping the Uchiha clan of their law enforcement powers and completely marginalizing them!

Faced with Fugaku's rage, Danzo remained unusually calm, even a cold smile playing on his lips.

"In case of an emergency, the Dark Division will naturally be dispatched immediately."

Danzo's tone suddenly shifted, becoming incredibly chilling, "Furthermore... I not only propose that you relocate, but I will also build watchtowers around your new clan territory for 24-hour surveillance!"

boom!

These words were like a bombshell, exploding in the conference room!

Fugaku's eyes instantly revealed the three-tomoe Sharingan, and powerful chakra fluctuations uncontrollably overflowed.

"Surveillance?! Danzo, what do you mean by this?!"

Fugaku practically roared through gritted teeth, "Are you doubting the Uchiha clan?!"

This is no longer just a doubt; it's practically pointing a finger at the Uchiha and throwing the blame on them!

"This is not a doubt, but a reasonable inference."

Danzo pressed on relentlessly, a sinister glint in his single eye: "According to the top-secret records left by the Second Hokage, in the entire history of the ninja world, only that one person has ever used his eye power to control the Nine-Tails and signed a contract with it as a summoning beast."

"The Nine-Tails inexplicably appeared in the center of the village this time and was controlled by someone. Besides your Uchiha Sharingan, who else could do such a thing?!"

Danzo's words were well-reasoned and insightful, each word striking at the heart of the matter.

None of the other ninja clan leaders present spoke; no one who could become a clan leader was a fool.

Since Danzo has said that, does it still matter whether the Uchiha clan is involved or not?

Fugaku was speechless with anger and trembled with rage. He knew that the Uchiha clan had been wronged, but he could not produce any evidence to refute Danzo's logic.

Just then, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was sitting in the main seat, coughed lightly, preparing to speak.

According to the normal script, after Danzo played the good cop and cornered the Uchiha, it would be time for him, as the Hokage, to step in and play the bad cop, appease the Uchiha, and naturally finalize the relocation decision.

However, at that moment, an untimely voice abruptly interrupted his spellcasting.

"I say, Danzo, do you have some misunderstanding about the Sharingan?"

Aoba crossed his arms, glanced around, and finally fixed his gaze on Danzo, his tone carrying an undisguised mockery.

"Aoba, what do you mean?"

Tuan's eyes narrowed slightly, a dangerous glint flashing in them.

"It would be unnecessary to suspect that the Uchiha clan orchestrated this attack simply because 'the Sharingan can control the Nine-Tails'."

The room fell silent upon hearing this.

Fugaku was stunned. He never expected that at a time when everyone was avoiding the Uchiha clan, it would be an outsider like Yamashiro Aoba who would stand up for them.

Danzo's face darkened, and he sternly rebuked, "Yamashiro Aoba, what do you know? This is a record left by the Second Hokage! The Nine-Tails was controlled by the Sharingan back then!"

"Huh! A record? Or a frame-up?"

Aoba chuckled, then said with certainty, "Although I'm not a member of the Uchiha clan, I know very well that a normal Sharingan is absolutely insufficient to perfectly suppress and control the Nine-Tails. One must awaken a higher level of ocular power beyond the three-tomoe Sharingan!"

boom!

This statement was like a bombshell, causing an uproar in the conference room.

Fugaku's expression changed drastically in an instant, staring at Aoba with disbelief in his eyes, his shock was beyond words.

The next level above the Sharingan is the Mangekyou Sharingan.

This is the most core secret of the Uchiha clan, unknown even to the vast majority of Uchiha members.

How did this outsider named Yamashiro Aoba know all this?!

Not only Fugaku, but also the Third Hokage, Mitokado Homura, and Utatane Koharu on the stage all changed their expressions.

The Third Hokage subconsciously turned to look at Tsunade beside him.

Tsunade, who had been lost in thought, now put away her nonchalant expression and stared intently at Aoba.

As a princess of the Senju clan, Tsunade naturally knew the secret of the Sharingan.

She knew very well that to control such a massive aggregate of chakra as the Nine-Tails, the three-tomoe Sharingan was absolutely not enough; one had to have the legendary Mangekyou Sharingan!

"I didn't expect this kid to even know this!"

Previously, in the consciousness space, Aoba revealed to her the so-called "time travel of people from the future." Although she was shocked at the time, she calmed down afterward and quickly noticed many loopholes in Aoba's words.

If Konoha is truly destroyed in the future, how could there be Konoha ninjas who travel back in time? Moreover, Aoba's account was truncated and clearly with some omissions.

However, Tsunade did not intend to investigate further.

As long as he doesn't harm Konoha, that's enough.

Faced with the Third Hokage's probing gaze, Tsunade simply shrugged innocently, pretending to know nothing.

The Third Hokage turned his gaze back to Aoba, his expression enigmatic.

"Nonsense!"

Danzo retorted, "Yamashiro Aoba, how do you, an outsider, know that the Sharingan can't control the Nine-Tails?!"

Faced with Danzo's questioning, Aoba not only did not get angry, but instead a mocking smile appeared on his lips.

"What do you know?"

Aoba chuckled softly, "Of course, I personally tested it with the Sharingan!"

What?!

Everyone in the room was stunned, completely unable to understand what Qingye meant by those words.

The next second, to everyone's horrified gaze, Qingye's originally dark pupils suddenly flashed with a chilling crimson light.

Immediately afterwards, three jet-black magatama appeared in his pupils and began to slowly rotate!

It's the real deal... the three-tomoe Sharingan!

hiss! ! !

A collective gasp filled the entire conference room!

Everyone stared at Aoba's scarlet eyes as if they had seen a ghost, their minds momentarily blank.

The Third Generation stood up as if he had been electrocuted, staring at Aoba in disbelief.

Tsunade's eyes widened, her red lips slightly parted, and she looked as if she had seen a ghost.

She never imagined that Aoba would have the Sharingan!

Of all the people, the one who was most shocked and least able to accept it was Danzo Shimura!

Danzo's one eye almost popped out of its socket, and his hand gripping the stick was trembling violently, his knuckles turning white from the excessive force.

As the root of Konoha, no one knows Yamashiro Aoba's background better than him!

This kid's parents, grandparents, and three generations back were all commoners, not even from a small ninja clan, let alone having any blood relation with the Uchiha clan!

How could he possibly have Sharingan?!

Just then, Fugaku Uchiha, who had recovered from his extreme shock, also activated his Sharingan and looked at Aoba.

Aoba also looked over without any attempt to hide it, and the two pairs of pupils collided instantly.

"Such powerful eye abilities, as expected..."

"It's true!"

Through the clash of their eye powers, Fugaku has confirmed that the Sharingan in Aoba's eyes is real!

It is common knowledge that if an outsider forcibly transplants the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan, it is absolutely impossible to shut it down!

Konoha has a living example: Kakashi Hatake!

Even when not in combat, with his headband covering his Sharingan, his chakra is constantly being depleted.

but now!

Yamashiro Aoba not only possesses the Sharingan, but everyone clearly saw that his pupils were originally black, and he activated the Sharingan voluntarily under everyone's watchful eyes!

What does this mean?

This means that Aoba can perfectly control these eyes, just like a real Uchiha clansman, and freely turn them on and off!

This was an earth-shattering event for the Uchiha clan, who placed extreme importance on bloodlines!

Fugaku took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the shock in his heart, and stared intently at Aoba.

"Yamashiro Aoba!"

Fugaku's voice was low and suppressed, "If I remember correctly, you are not a member of our Uchiha clan?"

"Yes, I don't have Uchiha blood."

Aoba admitted it very frankly.

"Then how do you possess the Sharingan of our Uchiha clan? And how can you use it freely?"

"Today, you must give the Uchiha an explanation!"
