Analyzing the Ninja World Starting from Konoha

How to read Chapter 238? Read it standing up, of course!

Let's return our attention to Kushina's home.

After listening to Aoba's account, the living room fell into a deathly silence.

Tsunade felt completely overwhelmed and rubbed her throbbing temples.

The power struggles among Konoha's high-ranking officials and the post-disaster reconstruction following the Nine-Tails' attack were already enough to give her a headache.

Now another organization has emerged that is suspected of monitoring the entire ninja world.

At that moment, she suddenly remembered what Aoba had said to her in the consciousness space.

In the future, another rogue ninja organization possessing the Rinnegan will destroy Konoha.

Tsunade felt completely numb.

How did the world suddenly become something she didn't recognize?

Compared to Tsunade's headache, Shizune and Kushina were even more bewildered.

They didn't know as much information as Tsunade, but the mere phrase "monitoring the ninja world" was enough to send chills down their spines.

Tsunade took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing her agitation, and looked up at Aoba.

"Is this why you risked exposing your eye technique at the meeting to help the Uchiha clan out of trouble?" Tsunade stared intently at him.

"Yes."

Aoba nodded in agreement, "In the future battles, we need the strength of the Uchiha clan. If we allow Danzo to drive them to their doom, it will not do Konoha any good."

Of course, he also had the intention of causing trouble for Danzo.

However, there's no need to say that aloud.

At this moment, Kushina, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.

"Blue Leaf".

Kushina's voice was soft, but every word was crystal clear.

"That masked man who controls the Nine-Tails, and the organization monitoring the ninja world from behind the scenes... will their next target be the Nine-Tails?"

After these words were spoken, the living room fell silent once again.

Aoba and Tsunade exchanged a glance, but neither of them answered immediately.

Because right now, the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki is none other than young Naruto.

But Kushina had already gotten the answer from their eyes.

"I see."

To everyone's surprise, Kushina showed neither panic nor fear.

She glanced down at the sleeping baby Naruto in the crib, gently smoothed his soft golden hair, and a gentle yet firm smile appeared on her lips.

"It seems I can't stay immersed in sadness any longer. As Naruto's mother, I must become stronger."

Seeing Kushina's determined look, Aoba smiled slightly.

"Don't worry, Kushina-nee."

Aoba said softly, "We still have time."

Aoba then took out a ninjutsu scroll and handed it to Kushina.

"Kushina-nee, this is for you."

"This is?"

Kushina took the scroll and curiously unrolled it.

"Chakra Absorption Technique".

Aoba explained, "I found the incomplete surgical technique in the medical records before, and I spent a lot of time completing it."

"What's the use?"

"Kushina-nee, although the Nine-Tails chakra within you doesn't have the Nine-Tails' consciousness, it's still a tailed beast-level power. There's no reason to leave it unused. In fact, because it doesn't have the Nine-Tails' consciousness interfering, it's easier to control."

Upon hearing this, Kushina's eyes immediately lit up.

"but……"

Aoba changed the subject, his tone becoming serious, "This part of the Nine-Tails' chakra is like water without a source; once it's used up, it's gone. Once it's exhausted, it could endanger your life."

She was well aware of her current situation; although it was very little, the Nine-Tails' chakra within her was indeed decreasing little by little.

"So you mean...?"

Kushina's gaze fell on the sleeping Naruto.

Yes, that's exactly what you think.

Aoba's lips curled up slightly. "Even if Naruto only has half of the Nine-Tails inside him, the Nine-Tails' chakra is still enormous. You can use the Chakra Absorption Technique to extract the Nine-Tails' chakra from Naruto to replenish your own consumption."

"Don't worry, Naruto inherited the Uzumaki clan's physique, and with Kurama's own regenerative ability, extracting Kurama's chakra will not have any impact on him. On the contrary, it will allow him to adapt to Kurama's chakra in advance."

Upon hearing Aoba's explanation, Kushina was overjoyed.

"In that case... I can maintain my Jinchūriki's fighting strength indefinitely!"

"That's right."

Aoba nodded. "And with the Wood Release buff, your fighting power will only get stronger. If anyone dares to mess with Naruto, you can just slap them to death."

Kushina gripped the scroll tightly, her eyes slightly reddening, but the smile on her face was brighter than ever before that evening.

Kushina grinned, carefully putting away the scroll, her eyes filled with gratitude.

"Aoba, thank you."

"Don't mention it, we're all family."

Qingye waved her hand repeatedly.

As Tsunade watched this scene, the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up slightly.

This kid is becoming more and more reliable!

……

next morning.

The appointment letter from the Hokage Building caused quite a stir among the upper echelons of Konoha.

Yamashiro Aoba has been officially appointed as the director of Konoha Hospital!

"The old man is being surprisingly generous this time?"

Tsunade was also somewhat surprised.

The original plan was for Tsunade to nominally take over Konoha Hospital first, and then, with Tsunade's authorization, for Aoba to control Konoha Hospital.

Now it's great, we can get it done in one step.

"But this is for the best, it saves us from going around in circles."

With the appointment letter, Aoba could now legitimately and officially take over Konoha Hospital.

In the following days, Fugaku formally visited Tsunade, and the two reached an agreement.

Subsequently, under Tsunade's mediation, the relocation of the Uchiha clan proceeded in an orderly manner.

The new base is located in the southwest area of ​​Konoha Village. Although it is not in the most central area, compared to the miserable situation in the original timeline where they were driven to the very edge of the village and were monitored by the watchtower 24 hours a day, this result is already much better.

Although the Uchiha clan members were still somewhat dissatisfied with the relocation, most of them accepted the reality after seeing the scale and supporting facilities of the new base.

Fugaku personally stepped in to appease the clan members, and the entire relocation process went much more smoothly than expected.

Aoba originally thought that things had stabilized for the time being at this point.

However, he was still too optimistic.

Just a few days after the Uchiha clan moved into their new clan home, an undercurrent began to quietly stir within Konoha Village.

"Have you heard? On the night of the Nine-Tails' rampage, someone saw a Sharingan pattern in the Nine-Tails' eyes!"

"Really? Could it be the Uchiha clan?"

"Who else could it be but them? The Second Hokage said long ago that the Uchiha clan is inherently evil!"

"This is terrifying! They actually want to destroy Konoha!"

Rumors spread like wildfire through the streets and alleys of Konoha, and the villagers' gazes toward the Uchiha clan were once again filled with vigilance and hostility.

When Aoba heard these rumors, he simply rolled his eyes in exasperation.

It's a familiar recipe, and it's a familiar taste.

It's obvious without even thinking that this was definitely Danzo's doing.

When they failed to pin the blame at the meeting, they resorted to secretly inciting public opinion – this is practically a traditional tactic of the underworld.

Ironically, this method actually works.

The public doesn't need evidence; they just need a seemingly reasonable explanation, and the fact that "the Sharingan can control tailed beasts" is the best catalyst.

That afternoon, Aoba, having been secretly invited by Fugaku Uchiha, arrived at the new clan headquarters of the Uchiha clan.

Inside Fugaku's study.

Several scrolls exuding an ancient aura were neatly arranged on the low table in front of Qingye.

"Mr. Aoba, everything you asked for is here," Fugaku said solemnly, kneeling opposite him.

Aoba's gaze swept over the scrolls, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

The list includes advanced genjutsu such as [Translation Seal], [Izanagi], [Izanami], [Magic Illusion: Shackles Technique] and [Magic Illusion: Mirror Heaven and Earth Transformation], which are used in conjunction with the Sharingan. Even the Uchiha clan's taijutsu, [Sharingan Windmill Manipulation: The Third Great Sword], is prominently featured.

Aoba nodded in satisfaction.

It seems that Fugaku really went all out this time and didn't hide anything from him.

Seeing the change in Aoba's expression, Fugaku secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, Fugaku also went through a fierce internal struggle when preparing these scrolls.

After all, these are the core secret techniques accumulated by the Uchiha clan over generations, the foundation upon which the clan stands in the ninja world. To hand them over to an outsider like this puts immense pressure on the clan head.

But he gritted his teeth and took it all out in the end.

Because he knew very well that what the Uchiha clan needed most right now was not to guard these inanimate objects, but a powerful ally who could speak up at the higher levels.

Without saying a word, Aoba instantly activated his three-tomoe Sharingan.

At the same time, the learning aid chip in the mind enters a high-power operation state.

[Beep! Scanning started... Data entry in progress...]

Under Fugaku's shocked gaze, Aoba simply unrolled the scrolls from beginning to end and looked through them. In less than ten minutes, he closed all the scrolls again and put them back in their original places.

"Okay, I've written it all down."

Aoba closed his Sharingan and put the scroll back in its original place.

"You... you've memorized it?"

Fugaku's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.

It's important to understand that the Sharingan's abilities are limited to copying and observation; it doesn't possess any "photographic memory" function.

And even with an amazing memory, it would be impossible to understand the workings of a technique in such a short time, right?

"It's alright, Mr. Aoba, you can watch for a little longer."

"Thank you, I've noted it down."

Aoba smiled. "Thank you, Clan Chief Fugaku."

"Mr. Aoba, you're too kind. This was our agreement."

The two went to the living room and sat facing each other.

After serving the hot tea, the maid respectfully withdrew.

Fugaku picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and seemed to be carefully considering his words.

After a moment, he put down his teacup, looked at Qingye, and sighed.

"Mr. Aoba, what do you think of the rumors circulating in the village about our Uchiha clan?"

Qingye held her teacup and gently blew on the floating tea leaves, but in her heart she was ranting and raving.

How can I watch it? Of course, I'll stand up and watch it.
