I, Uchiha Hikaru, have joined the chat group.

Chapter 122 Uchiha Tobirama Hikaru

The plan to tutor the "juniors" in the clan was something Uchiha Hikaru had already conceived while still in the Dragon Clan world.

She originally intended to entrust this matter to Fugaku, but Shisui…

Maybe it will be better.

After all, Fugaku's age is a factor, and his thinking is basically fixed, so it won't be easy to change him in a short time; Itachi is also a taciturn person, and his thoughts are hard to understand; compared to them, Shisui is more worth cultivating and reforming. As long as his naivety, childishness, and gullibility can be corrected, his future is still promising.

"By the way, Shisui, is Tsunade still in Konoha?"

Uchiha Hikaru asked another question.

Shisui thought for a moment: "It seems that Lady Tsunade left the village after Danzo... Shimura Danzo defected."

That's right.

The former leader of Root, Danzo Shimura, has now transformed into a newly emerged rogue ninja despised by everyone in Konoha.

The rating is S.

In theory, he was also carrying out a secret mission from his mentor, Tobirama Uchiha, and was enduring humiliation to try to infiltrate the Akatsuki organization as a spy... However, no one in the entire Hidden Leaf Village knew about this, not even the deceased Tobirama himself.

Such a contrast is somewhat ironic.

But Danzo deserved this fate.

"Understood."

Having obtained the information he wanted, Uchiha Hikaru exchanged a few more words with Fugaku before leaving the Shisui family.

I went ahead and bought some fruits and vegetables as planned.

Then I went to see Naruto, had a meal with the blond guy, chatted about our recent situations, and petted the dog for a while.

—Actually, Hikaru Uchiha really wanted to pet that Inuyasha dog from the Inuyasha world; those fluffy dog ​​ears must feel nice to touch. However, given their unfamiliarity with each other, it wouldn't be appropriate. As for the big dog Sesshomaru… he hasn't seen him yet, and his danger level is too high, so he's out of the question.

Until evening.

After having freeloaded dinner, Uchiha Hikaru returned home, estimated the time, and used "Crested Tsukuyomi" to pull Danzo into the illusion space. He then inquired about the progress of the undercover mission under the identity of "Tobirama Hikaru".

"...Have we encountered the Akatsuki yet?"

"Well, it doesn't matter. This is a long-term mission anyway. If you rush to find them right after defecting, it will only arouse suspicion. As long as you maintain the persona of a rogue ninja and get Akatsuki's attention, people will come looking for you."

Uchiha Hikaru was not speaking carelessly.

If she's not mistaken, the "white-haired man skilled in psychic arts" who participated in the attack on Shisui is likely Hiruko.

—That Konoha rogue ninja who was once a classmate of the Sannin, but due to his own lack of aptitude for training, he developed the "Oni-Garara Technique," which allows him to fuse the bloodline limits of others. In a sense, he was a research genius comparable to Orochimaru.

If it really is him...

That means the Xiao organization is currently looking to recruit new members.

Aside from being older, Danzo was not weak in terms of strength. His Wind Release ninjutsu could even break Susanoo. He also had several capable subordinates such as Kabuto Yakushi by his side. In addition, he had a deep-seated hatred for Konoha, the Uchiha clan, and especially for Uchiha Hikaru himself. It can be said that he met the Akatsuki's recruitment standards in all aspects.

Hmm... there might be a small problem.

Because Danzo colluded with Hanzo of the Salamander during the Second Shinobi World War, destroying the First Akatsuki organization and indirectly causing Yahiko's death... Nagato and Konan had ample reason to kill him.

but……

If you want to become Hokage, how can you not take some risks?

"Go, Danzo!"

"Once I return from this mission, I'll have Hiruzen Sarutobi step down and elect you as the Fifth Hokage of Konoha!"

Uchiha Hikaru clenched his fist, casually giving Danzo a shot of adrenaline, and then ended the call under the latter's excited gaze.

after that.

She pushed open the bathroom door, leisurely filled a tub with hot water for herself, tested the water temperature with her hand, then took off her clothes and lay down inside, slowly stretching her soft, fair body out in the bathtub, enjoying a very pleasant hot bath.

Although living alone in such a large mansion feels a bit empty, it does have some advantages.

When she lived at Naruto's house, she never had the chance to take a bath like this.

One reason was that she was afraid Naruto would see her and corrupt the children, but the main reason was that the bathroom in Naruto's single apartment was pitifully small, only big enough to fit a showerhead... And now, she could even splash around in the bathtub a few times, symbolically taking a dip.

"Speaking of which..."

Uchiha Hikaru rolled over, crossing her white, lotus-root-like arms in front of her chin, and looked through the misty heat towards the window diagonally above her: "Kabuto Yakushi, who's with Danzo, should already be in contact with Orochimaru by now, right?"

"Maybe he's already hooked up with Scorpion..."

The effectiveness of the "Eight Thousand Spears" has been largely proven on Danzo. Shisui's "Kotoamatsukami" swords are currently in her possession; theoretically, she could simply attach them to a crow and use them as a makeshift weapon.

With these two layers of insurance...

The plan to subdue Orochimaru and Dr. Gero can now be put on the agenda.

……

late at night.

In a mountain range not far from the border of the Land of Fire.

The man wearing the swirling mask tossed a dying ninja in front of the white-haired man: "As agreed beforehand, this Uchiha clansman is yours now. Hiruko."

"...Is it just a three-tomoe jade?"

"Three tomoe are already quite good. There are only two pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan in the Uchiha clan right now, one of which is Uchiha Shisui, whom we tried to ambush but who managed to escape. With these three tomoe, you can perfect the Demon Sprout Technique."

"All right."

Wearing a high-necked coat, Hiru sighed, bent down to examine the ninja on the ground, and seemed to remember something: "By the way, isn't there another person in Konoha named Kakashi who also has the Sharingan...?"

"...His life is mine, you don't need to think about it."

Obito snorted coldly, then softened his tone slightly: "Uchiha clan members with the Mangekyou Sharingan are too rare to find. However, if you're interested in the Shikotsumyaku and Ice Release techniques from Kirigakure, I can get you a few samples. In exchange, you'll have to do more for Akatsuki."

Hiruko pondered for a moment and nodded: "Alright, but I need more freedom of movement to complete my ninjutsu research."

"No problem, you can do anything outside of mission time."

Obito took out a black robe with red clouds and a ring with the character "朱" (Zhu) from his Kamui dimension: "These are your clothes and ring. I will contact you again later."
