Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 560 The Kurosaki Clan

"So, Mr. Tachibana was actually an undercover agent sent by our Uchiha clan to Kirigakure?"

Looking at the black-haired little boy in front of her, who was holding an infant in his arms and looking at her with a blank expression, Tachibana Kenkawa's gentle smile completely crumbled.

A few days ago, it took a lot of persuasion from Tachibana Kanagawa to finally convince Hikaru Uchiha.

"Establishing a new family for her in Kirigakure" and "creating a new family together" are two completely different things.

As a result, when Hikaru Uchiha heard that the new clan member to be accepted was from the Uchiha clan, her pretty face, which was not very happy to begin with, immediately showed a look of being burdened.

Fortunately, it was later clarified that her position as clan leader was only temporary and she did not need to have much contact with these "clan members".

Uchiha Hikaru reluctantly led his men to the Land of Fire and brought the relocated people back to Kirigakure.

Afterwards, perhaps because they had already mentally separated the Uchiha of this world from the Uchiha of the Dragon Vein world.

Or perhaps it's because most of the Uchiha clan members who were transferred here were children.

After returning, Uchiha Hikaru stopped giving these kids the cold shoulder and reluctantly acknowledged the identities of his clansmen.

However, expecting Uchiha Hikaru to soothe these newly arrived and unsettled Uchiha clansmen in a gentle and kind manner is simply wishful thinking.

There was no other way, so the person who started this whole thing, Tachibana Kenkawa, had to take matters into his own hands.

Considering that all of the dozen or so people who came had been sealed by Fugaku Uchiha, Tachibana Kenkawa was not worried about them leaking secrets.

He simply revealed "his" Sharingan to try and get closer to the other party.

Who knew that this little brat's sudden remark would silence Jianchuan Ju.

A cute girl in purple saw that Tachibana's smile suddenly froze on her face, so she quickly and secretly approached and carefully tugged at Itachi's sleeve.

However, upon seeing this scene, Tachibana Kanagawa's expression became even more rigid.

"You've really got some nerve, Fugaku Uchiha! You sent your son here and you're worried about him not finding a wife? You even sent a daughter-in-law along with him?"

The person holding a baby in his arms and refusing to let go is none other than the famous Uchiha Itachi.

The little tagalong following him closely is Izumi Uchiha, Itachi's rumored girlfriend in the original work.

Whether it was intentional or not, Fugaku Uchiha had agreed to send children who were selected based on their personality and talent.

As luck would have it, his son's girlfriend was also included in the list.

However, this was not the time to concern oneself with such matters, and Tachibana Kanagawa was even less likely to stoop to the level of Itachi Uchiha, who was only five years old.

He simply closed the three tomoe in his eyes and spoke to the two of them in a gentle tone.

"Well, I wouldn't call myself an Uchiha. As for why I possess the Sharingan, that's a secret. As future ninjas, you should understand the importance of keeping secrets, right?"

To everyone's surprise, after hearing what Tachibana Kenkawa said, Itachi Uchiha simply stared blankly into his eyes and nodded.

But in reality, he became more and more certain of his previous guess, and at the same time, he felt a little more at ease.

Previously, at the mass funeral after the Nine-Tails' death, Itachi Uchiha had personally seen Kakashi Hatake, a member of another race who possessed the Sharingan.

Even those without Uchiha blood possess the Sharingan, but they cannot activate and deactivate it so skillfully.

Unaware of what Itachi Uchiha was thinking, Tachibana Kanagawa ignored the kids and turned to look at the only adult from the Uchiha clan who had come this time.

A Jonin of the Uchiha clan named Uchiha Yakumi.

According to Fugaku Uchiha, this man was an absolutely loyal subordinate and also one of the few kind-hearted people in the Uchiha clan who would actively study medical ninjutsu.

It just so happens that he was carrying a lot of children who needed to be taken care of, so he was chosen as the first Uchiha Jonin to be transferred to Kirigakure.

However, perhaps because of Itachi's question earlier, this Jonin Uchiha was now looking at Tachibana with an awkward expression, unsure of what to say.

With his signature smile on his face, Jianchuan Ju asked in a gentle tone.

"You've mastered the secret technique that Fugaku taught you before, haven't you?"

Seeing that Jianchuan Ju didn't seem to take the eldest son of the clan head's family's abruptness to heart, Uchiha Yakumi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and then respectfully replied.

"Lord Kenkawa, rest assured, all six ninjas who came to Kirigakure to report this time, including myself, have already mastered the secret techniques you bestowed upon us."

As he spoke, Uchiha Yakumi pointed to the five young Chunin who looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old and were sitting rather restlessly to the side.

Seeing the somewhat timid and hesitant appearance of the five Chunin boys and girls, Tachibana Kenkawa couldn't help but shake his head inwardly.

Although selecting members with gentle personalities who don't like to cause trouble was a threshold set by Tachibana Kenkawa and Fugaku Uchiha from the very beginning.

However, given their somewhat timid appearance, let alone Jianchuan Ju.

Even if you threw them onto the streets of Konoha, as long as they didn't have the Uchiha fan insignia on them, probably no one would suspect that they were Uchiha ninjas.

"Isn't this going a bit too far?"

However, Tachibana Kanagawa thought that while a gentle personality might be acceptable in other clans, it would probably be considered an "outlier" within the Uchiha clan. It would be understandable if her personality had some issues.

However, even among such anomalies, Fugaku Uchiha was able to find five Chunin aged thirteen or fourteen, which shows that the Uchiha clan is truly full of talent!

"With a little nurturing, they're all potential Jonin!"

Just as Tachibana Kenkawa was feeling sentimental.

Noticing the smell of medicine from the Uchiha clan in Tachibana Kenkawa's gaze, and seemingly worried that this future backer of the Uchiha clan might suspect him of exaggeration, he decisively gestured to the five Uchiha boys.

The five boys, who had been given a hint earlier, exchanged glances and then each took a strange hilt from their waists, which seemed to have been deliberately cut off at the base of the blade.

His hands immediately began to rapidly form hand seals.

"Burn, *Shanyue*!" "Burn, *Shanyue*!" "Burn."

Five clear voices rang out in succession.

Then, from the hilts of the swords that were originally like wooden sticks, long, thin blades made of burning purple flames appeared out of thin air in the hands of the five boys.

As the five purple flame katanas were completed, the boys simultaneously pointed the tips of their swords at the ground and looked at Jianchuan Ju with a hint of anticipation.

Although his quirky sense of humor made this appearance a little awkward.

However, Tachibana Kanagawa still praised her enthusiastically.

"Excellent! From today onwards, you are the Kurosaki clan, belonging exclusively to Kirigakure and possessing the secret technique of the Moonlit Blade!"
