Naruto: Who made him a ninja

Chapter 121 Are you questioning Lord Danzo's character? (10,000 words, please subscribe)

"So, we're going to have one more person?"

Shizune looked at Uchiha Hikaru's cold face with a strange expression. She didn't quite understand why Tsunade and Hidezawa had gone out for a night and then came back with another person.

And this person is an Uchiha?

"But she's an Uchiha, why won't they let her return to her own clan?"

Xi Yan was also full of curiosity, but there were many things she didn't feel comfortable asking.

For example, why is she here, and how did Tsunade and Hidezawa meet her?

As a member of the secret service, she was also feeling very stifled. At most, she only dared to ask why she couldn't return to her family.

"She was abandoned by her family, but as a member of Konoha, we can't let her wander outside."

Xiuze smiled at Xiyan, glanced at Tsunade secretly, and then spoke. Tsunade could only nod helplessly.

"Yes, that's about it. But don't tell anyone about this, and don't ask any more questions. That's all."

Tsunade didn't want to help Hidezawa cover for her at all, but she had no choice since things had come to this.

You can't exactly say that this Uchiha girl is actually an evil old Uchiha who has been sealed away for a hundred years and still hasn't died, can you?

Whether others believe it or not, even Tsunade herself would find this outrageous!

Moreover, if anyone believes this, it will likely lead to another bloody storm.

Even though the Uzumaki clan is gone, Konoha has preserved all of the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques.

Immortality is one of the greatest desires in human nature, and Tsunade cannot afford to gamble on it, nor does she want to.

Besides, that bastard Xiuze keeps using her grandfather to humiliate her, what can she do?

Uchiha Hikaru glanced at Hidezawa and Tsunade, but didn't say anything. She also needed time to adjust to the absurd situation she was facing.

"By the way, when we get close to Konoha, we'll just use the Flying Thunder God Technique to go in."

Tsunade thought for a moment, then suddenly spoke up to remind Hidezawa.

"I don't want to get entangled with those people outside. If the sealing team finds out, go and tell them it was my idea."

"it is good."

Hidezawa nodded. Using Tsunade's name made many things much easier.

If it were Xiuze himself, things probably wouldn't be so simple, but he felt that the Sealing Squad wouldn't come knocking on his door.

The Flying Thunder God Technique allows direct passage through space, so Konoha's barrier probably wouldn't be able to detect it.

"Also, you seem to have a very pessimistic view of the Uchiha clan's situation?"

Tsunade doesn't seem to have any intention of letting Hidezawa off the hook; she's been thinking about these issues for the past few days.

Even though she had considered some possibilities, she still wanted to confirm with Xiuze.

As for Yugao and Shizune beside her, she wasn't worried at all that they would talk too much, and Karin was just a little kid who didn't know anything.

"Tell me your thoughts. You're unlikely to say anything carelessly."

"Uchiha."

Hidezawa glanced at Uchiha Hikari and noticed that her gaze seemed to have turned towards him as well, clearly showing her curiosity as well.

"If nothing unexpected happens, this guy will probably get himself into trouble."

"Teacher, you already know what happened in the village. Knowing their personalities, they will definitely not let this go."

"You mean they'll do something irreversible?"

Tsunade seemed startled by Hidezawa. She admitted that there were many mentally unstable people in the Uchiha clan, but they shouldn't be this crazy, right?

Xiuze's words also surprised Xiyan and Shizune. Even Uchiha Hikaru raised an eyebrow, but she quickly regained her composure.

After all, what she wanted most was for this family to die!

"It's hard to say."

Xiuze shook his head, then stroked his chin before speaking.

"We all know they are planning something, and I don't believe Konoha will remain indifferent to such an open move."

The reason there is no action now is probably because the Third Hokage still holds onto hope, even though Danzo has already crushed that hope.

But nobody knows, maybe an even more extreme "Uchiha Kagami" will appear.

"Pshaw, you can only dream about that."

Tsunade gave a light snort, her face showing slight disdain.

"I think the old man probably doesn't want to be criticized. Taking the initiative to attack a family would make everyone feel insecure."

Nobody knows who will be next now that you've taken the initiative against the Uchiha.

I've heard about what happened with Hinata; the old man should watch his reputation.

The consequences of the Hyuga incident were indeed enormous. Although the Hyuga clan is behaving themselves now, they still hold grudges.

Look at Hyuga Hiashi, who was sitting in the arena watching Hyuga Neji's performance during the Chunin Exams, he turned around and was gone.

Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi was about to die, he suddenly appeared outside the arena and launched a powerful attack on the Sand Ninja and Sound Ninja.

As for the Uchiha clan, although Hidezawa admitted that the Third Hokage's final choice was acceptable, letting them fight amongst themselves was acceptable.

After all, as he said, an even more extreme "Uchiha Kagami" emerged in the Uchiha clan, who ruthlessly slaughtered the entire clan.

However, just when the Uchiha clan was closest to launching a rebellion, a person suddenly appeared and wiped out the entire clan in one fell swoop.

It's hard not to make some connections, like, "Is this a shadow of Konoha?"

Once such a connection is made, coupled with Hiruzen Sarutobi's leniency towards Danzo in recent years, many talented individuals from various clans have been forcibly taken away by Danzo.

The most subtle impact was probably the dramatic drop in the Third Hokage's reputation, ultimately turning the Chunin Exams into the beginning of a new era for Konoha.

"Maybe, who knows?"

Xiuze shook his head, sighed, and continued speaking.

"But no matter what, whether we let them act on their own or Konoha takes the initiative to attack, it doesn't matter."

If this family continues down this path, their days are probably numbered.

As for the personalities of the Uchiha clan, I think the teacher knows better than I do.

Therefore, whether we do something or not, the outcome is probably already predetermined.

Tsunade fell silent upon hearing this, unable to speak. This was almost exactly the worst-case scenario she had imagined.

Xi Yan and Jing Yin were both horrified, and were momentarily stunned when they heard such a shocking revelation.

Has the Uchiha clan, such a large organization, unknowingly reached this point?

Only Uchiha Hikaru's eyes flickered at this moment; this didn't seem to be bad news!

"Alright, everyone, stop overthinking it. These are all just guesses."

After a long while, Tsunade shook her head helplessly.

"We should just listen to these things; I don't want anyone to spread them."

"After all, it doesn't mean anything to us."

"Obito, what do you think that kid will ultimately choose?"

In a forest outside Konoha Village, Black Zetsu stood with Obito on the edge of a cliff, looking down at Konoha. At the same time, he couldn't help but ask Obito a question.

Obito went to find Itachi Uchiha alone, and he did not go with him, mainly because he was worried about Hidezawa.

Ever since witnessing Shuzawa's "Yang Release: Chakra Mode," Black Zetsu has been worried that Shuzawa might really be the "reincarnation of Ashura."

Even without concrete evidence, he acted entirely according to the standards for dealing with "Asura reincarnations".

We absolutely must not get close, and we absolutely must not let this guy notice anything amiss.

Unlike Obito, he knew all too well just how outrageous these "reincarnated beings" were, and he didn't want to cause trouble for himself.

"I'm not quite sure how to choose yet, but I saw something different in his eyes."

Obito didn't care about Black Zetsu's "cowardice"; his mind was full of Itachi Uchiha right now.

"This kid seems to have a special feeling for Konoha. It's not hard to guess what choice he will make."

To be honest, I really didn't expect the son of the Uchiha clan leader to turn out like this.

"What, are you seeing a reflection of your past self?"

Black Zetsu asked somewhat jokingly, and Obito actually nodded.

"That's right, there are indeed traces of my past, but I'm different from him. His resources are far more abundant than mine."

As for me, I think it's probably because he has too many resources and too high a status that he never takes his so-called clansmen seriously.

But this is good too; having a start might make things easier later on.

He now loves the village, but later he realizes that neither the village nor the world is the source of cholera.

I think he will make the right choice.

"Maybe."

Black Zetsu glanced at Obito, but then nodded in agreement.

Obito originally really loved the village and even dreamed of becoming Hokage, but then he met Madara Uchiha.

And through Rin Nohara, who also deeply loves the village, he slapped him and made him "fuck his Naruto dream".

As for Uchiha Itachi, Black Zetsu had no idea what was wrong with him. In any case, he had never seen anything so outrageous in his thousand years of life.

Aside from lamenting that the Uchiha clan's education was "getting worse with each generation," he probably only had one thought.

This was probably the most insane Uchiha he had ever seen, actually having the idea of ​​wiping out his entire family.

Is it still for Konoha Village?

Even Madara Uchiha wasn't that crazy; he only abandoned his clan because he was betrayed by his own people.

He hasn't even made a move yet!

Shaking his head, Black Zetsu was too lazy to think about this lunatic.

He was incapable of empathy, and even somewhat disdainful, because he still had to save his mother.

"So what's your plan if that Uchiha Itachi really comes looking for you?"

You must understand that Konoha is not a easy place to deal with right now, especially with Shihara Hidezawa in the mix. If you're not careful, you might get yourself into trouble.

Without Shihara Hidezawa, Black Zetsu felt that sending the Uchiha clan to their deaths wouldn't have been too difficult.

But with this extra person, it will probably be more difficult for the two of them to do anything.

Unless Konoha gives the green light and powerful members of the Uchiha clan simply accept their fate, this matter will be quite difficult to resolve.

After all, how could Konoha possibly want the Uchiha's power to disappear? How could those powerful members of the Uchiha clan just sit and wait to die?

"Let's contact the Akatsuki organization; Shihara Hidezawa is indeed a tough opponent."

After a moment's thought, Obito came up with his own idea.

"I don't know what's going on in Konoha, but if Itachi Uchiha wants to do it, we'll help him to the end."

He probably has a hard time feeling at peace after slaughtering the Uchiha clan. I can gradually guide him so that he will genuinely agree with our plan.

After all, it's hard to believe that someone with blood on their hands can keep up with their beliefs. Does thinking about Konoha Village really put their mind at ease?

No, he will only live in sin, his heart constantly yearning to escape, and creating a new world can give him solace.

At that point, he'll probably become a much more competent tool.

"Give it a try."

Black Zetsu thought for a moment and nodded. As for whether Uchiha Itachi would become a suitable tool, he was actually not too sure.

Moreover, he felt that even if Konoha gave the green light, the Uchiha would not surrender easily.

But in any case, all of this needs to be carefully examined, and everything needs to be planned first.

"Nagato, what new plan does that guy have now?"

As the rain continued to fall, Konan found Nagato, who was resting with his eyes closed, inside a tall tower in the Land of Rain. She was holding a scroll.

Since returning from the Land of Water, they have kept a very low profile.

After all, the actions of the Land of Water had a great impact on them, especially their contact with Shuzawa, which made them think deeply.

They have so much to think about, and they really need to consider other issues as well.

In particular, the collaboration with Xiuze

Unbeknownst to them, they had been forced to change their approach, from initially wanting to recruit Xiuze to now thinking about how to cooperate with this guy.

After all, Xiuze is too assertive, and at the same time, he seems to have a much broader perspective than them.

"Who is that conman going to cause trouble for this time?"

Nagato opened his eyes, and his Rinnegan seemed to carry an invisible pressure.

Although he didn't directly reveal Obito's identity, he had already begun to describe Obito as a "liar" behind his back.

"Konoha".

Xiao Nan's words were concise, and even a hint of disdain appeared on her face.

"This guy doesn't seem to have given up yet. Who knows what he's up to? But I think this might be a good opportunity."

Is there a chance?

Nagato glanced at Konan and immediately understood what his close friend meant.

"Shihara Hidezawa, it is indeed an opportunity, but I have never figured out one thing: what exactly is his purpose?"

He let us go, but his relentless pursuit of the Akatsuki organization has not stopped. Obito Uchiha is now wanted by the four great ninja villages.

He's worried we'll be used as pawns if he doesn't figure out his motives. This guy is too inscrutable; he always makes me feel uneasy.

If Nagato were alone, perhaps he could disregard everything else and just go for it.

But with Xiao Nan around, some things can't be done so casually; he needs to ensure more things are in place.

He never wanted what happened before to happen again, and he was even more unwilling for Xiao Nan to be hurt again!

"The simplest way to find out these things is to ask them in person."

Konan remained remarkably calm, watching as Nagato's expression gradually turned serious.

"Perhaps there's something I can do about this."

"you?"

Nagato looked puzzled, while Konan looked up at the window and after a while, she smiled and spoke.

"I plan to visit Konoha on behalf of the Land of Rain, since relations between Konoha and the Land of Rain have been tense for a long time."

Jiraiya-sensei is in the Land of Whirlpools, so there shouldn't be any trouble if I go there myself.

It might alleviate some minor problems, and besides, I can also meet with Shihara Hidezawa alone.

Some things are better asked face-to-face, and some things are better told face-to-face to show more sincerity.

At this point, Konan stopped, turned to look at Nagato, whose expression seemed rather unpleasant, and gently shook her head.

"Don't even think about refusing me, Nagato. I've already made up my mind."

"I'm not a child, and I don't want to live under your protection forever."

"We are friends, we are partners, and I want to work hard for each other's dreams."

"What do you think, Nagato?"

"Ugh, this is so boring."

In Konoha, inside the Senju clan's ancestral home, Hidezawa stretched lazily out of boredom.

He's now pondering a question: has he been slacking off a bit too much?

Upon returning to Konoha, Hidezawa did not resume work. This was not because he was unwilling, but because the Third Hokage, citing the need for "more recuperation," instructed him to continue his leave.

This was a well-intentioned move, because Hiruzen Sarutobi had a private conversation with him, during which he subtly mentioned Shisui.

Even though he spoke in a very veiled way, Xiuze understood what he meant, so he simply continued his vacation.

He was on vacation, but Yugao didn't. She still had to go to work, while Tsunade, because of what Hidezawa said, started to investigate more information.

Meanwhile, Hiruzen Sarutobi has been brought to the brink of death twice by anger, and she needs to devote more energy to this.

Today, she went to the Hokage's office to look up more information, and Shizune naturally followed her.

Even Karin, the little nobody in the family, had already gone to class, leaving Hidezawa to stay home alone.

"It doesn't seem like he's really alone."

Turning his head, Xiuze saw Uchiha Hikaru walk out with a cold expression on his face.

The Senju clan's ancestral home is very large, with many rooms and various spaces inside.

Living here allows for freedom of movement; as long as one doesn't go out, everything is fine. And Uchiha Hikaru clearly has no intention of leaving.

"How are you finding it? Are you settling in alright?"

Xiuze sat up, still feeling lazy, but he had perked up a bit.

"There's nothing I'm not used to; at least it's better than a cage."

Uchiha Hikaru's tone was icy, and his face was completely expressionless.

"However, the situation is still similar, except that the seal has changed from a cage to my body."

"."

Xiuze tilted his head, looking somewhat helpless.

"Sorry, Hikaru, but if we don't take some precautions, who knows if you'll go crazy."

After all, the Uchiha clan has always had mental health issues; don't you know that all too well?

"."

Uchiha Hikaru glanced at Hidezawa, not even bothering to acknowledge him.

She didn't even seem to agree to this name outright, did she?

Although she had indeed accepted the name in her heart

"Speaking of which, Hikaru, what was your era like? Could you tell me about it?"

Hidezawa didn't mind and asked with a smile, but unfortunately, Uchiha Hikaru didn't seem to want to answer.

"That's a painful memory. Do you enjoy reopening old wounds? What would you do if I kept asking you about those painful things?"

"I guess I won't feel anything, since I'm used to it."

Xiuze pursed his lips and casually said something that stunned Uchiha Hikaru.

As a Milan fan, he always gets roasted whenever the topic of "comeback" or "halftime celebration" comes up.

He just couldn't understand why everyone was talking about the "three-goal comeback" and the "halftime champagne," as if this "Istanbul night" was destined to never end.

"Fine, I won't force you if you don't want to talk about it, but I hope you understand that times have changed and many things have changed."

I know you've suffered, and I'm sorry about that, but you can also be happy, after all, you outlived those guys.

"."

Is this the result I wanted?

Uchiha Hikaru glared at Hidezawa; she would rather have killed all those guys and turned the entire ninja world upside down!

After all, this world was also the root of her tragedy.

"Don't you think that this world is also the root of tragedy?"

However, just as this thought crossed her mind, Xiuze suddenly spoke up.

You can read minds?

Uchiha Hikaru looked at Hidezawa with a strange expression, even though he hadn't said anything.

"Thinking about it carefully, it is indeed true that constant wars have created tragedies for generation after generation."

Xiuze sat up and immediately began to gulp down 'poisonous chicken soup' (a metaphor for toxic motivational speeches).

"But no one seems to have ever thought about where the root cause lies, and there seem to be very few people who really want to change the world."

That's why I say that Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage who created Konoha, was great, because he broke down the hatred between them, let go of everything, and created a new system.

Even if there are many problems, it's still an attempt to change the world, isn't it?

The latest novel is first published here!

"What does this have to do with me?"

Uchiha Hikaru raised an eyebrow and gave a soft snort.

"I've always been curious, since you've had the same experience as me, what did you do?"

Don't tell me you chose to forgive; that's disgusting.

"Who told you I chose to forgive?"

Xiuze raised an eyebrow, a smile appearing on his lips.

"I've never been that magnanimous. I always remember the grudges that need to be avenged, and I won't let some things pass so easily."

But I won't be as silly as you, constantly talking about everything and saying all sorts of nonsense.

You really should thank me, because if it weren't for me, you would have been killed by Tsunade.

This world is terrible, but those who create this world are always a minority who wield power.

Tsunade inherited the will of the First Hokage and will not use her power on ordinary people.

You probably can't imagine that a powerful ninja like her would be surrounded and chased by a group of ordinary people just because she owes a debt.

When you said those words, Tsunade-sensei already had murderous intent.

Although Tsunade was persuaded, Hidezawa had indeed sensed Tsunade's killing intent beforehand, which is why he kept bringing up Hashirama Senju.

If a real fight were to break out, Uchiha Hikari, who had just awakened and had virtually no power, would be completely unable to retaliate. In fact, she had been sealed away by Hidezawa.

This is probably a characteristic of the Uchiha clan: when they go crazy, they dare to say and do anything.

"Hmph, perhaps it would be better for someone like me to be dead."

Uchiha Hikaru paused for a moment before shaking her head and speaking indifferently.

"After all, I don't belong to this era, and I can't find any meaning in it."

"idiot."

However, Xiuze rolled his eyes and sat up straight, continuing to chug down the "poisonous chicken soup" (a metaphor for toxic motivational speeches).

"Living itself is meaningful, and haven't you already stated your significance in this era?"

If you believe this world is the root of your suffering, then why not try to understand everything about it?

Why not investigate what created your tragic fate? Is it that you lack the ability or the motivation?

Or are you just saying it for show?

"The root of suffering?"

Uchiha Hikaru paused for a moment, muttered something under his breath, while Hidezawa pressed on.

"I've said it before, the Senju and Uchiha clans likely have a very deep connection, and their falling out may even be due to a succession issue."

But this is something we need to investigate, and I'm also thinking about something else.

The Sage of Six Paths shouldn't have left without designating a successor, so could there be some other problems here?

For example, if someone is interfering, or if someone is actually dissatisfied, aren't these directions we can explore?

At this point, Xiuze paused slightly, and looking at Guang who was frowning, a smile returned to his face.

Although I didn't experience your era, I've said before that I understand you.

In this era, at least starting with Tsunade, the Senju and Uchiha no longer harbor hatred towards each other.

"Then why don't you let us help you? I also have friends from the Uchiha clan, and I think we can become friends too."

"Help me, friend."

Uchiha Hikaru repeated it softly, seemingly lost in thought.

Xiuze didn't press his advantage; he silently gave himself a thumbs up.

Shifting the girl's focus from "destroying the world" to "exploring the root of her own tragedy" is a good idea and an attempt.

As for whether he can succeed, he needs to keep increasing his efforts. If all else fails, he can shift the blame and make things difficult for other "shadows".

After all, isn't "changing the world" also a form of "destroying the world system"?

Shaking his head, Xiuze focused his attention on his control panel.

[Complete the hidden mission: Uncover the secrets of the Senju and Uchiha clans (1)]

[Completion Rating: S]

[Gain Free Points: 10]

This reward was refreshed when he last mentioned the relationship between the Uchiha and Senju clans.

He hasn't started adding anything yet, though, because he's incredibly excited!

There are so many secrets about the Uchiha and Senju that are worth exploring, and they can even involve Black Zetsu and the Otsutsuki!

Going even deeper, even Hyuga couldn't escape it.

Xiuze has already seen golden eggs hatched by him, and he can continue to reap the rewards as long as the time is right.

He could never have too much freedom; in fact, he needed to prepare for obtaining the [Storm Release] in the future.

He has fused various attributes through his Bloodline Limit, and he is now only missing [Storm Release] to complete the set. However, it is somewhat regrettable that he is currently unable to engage in combat with the Hidden Cloud Village.

He has already decided on the points to be added this time.

"This time, I'll add more chakra. The more chakra I have, the more freely I can unleash my pirated [Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion]!"

As for the "Ninja World Scientist" who still has one more chance, he is considering whether to directly explore the Flying Thunder God Technique or wait and see later.

The spatial attribute of Flying Thunder God has always been something that Hidezawa really likes. However, if he were to fuse with [Bloodline Limit] later on, he might also awaken his spatial abilities.

If techniques similar to space-based abilities or even more bizarre abilities emerge, then the [Ninja World Scientist] will likely be wasted.

Shusawa has always received very few rewards for his special abilities. So far, the only ones who have ever gotten a lot of gold coins are the Third Hokage and his apprentice, and Black Zetsu, whom he has never even met.

But the gold coins they dropped were real 'golden flashes'!

"Let's wait and see how things develop, or deal with any special circumstances before making a decision."

After much deliberation, Xiuze decided to suppress his desire and refrain from taking action.

"That's not right."

However, at that moment, Hikaru suddenly looked up and stared at Hidezawa with a puzzled expression.

"If you have an Uchiha friend, why are you just sitting here waiting for the Uchiha clan to be burned to ashes?"

"."

"So, your friends are just superficial friends?"

"."

"Or are you just lying to me?"

"."

"Oh, it's rare that you have time to see us, Xiuze."

In an extremely secluded room in the Anbu, Kabuto Yakushi looked at Hidezawa and couldn't help but jokingly speak.

Meanwhile, the pharmacist Nono from another room also came over, and a smile appeared on her face when she saw Hidezawa appear.

"Dean, it's been a long time."

Hidezawa greeted Yakushi Nonou seriously, showing great respect for the headmaster who had taken care of him when he was a child. He then shrugged and spoke.

"What do you mean by 'rare'? There's been a lot going on in Konoha lately, and I've been very busy, okay?"

But even though I said that, I felt a little uneasy inside.

The Uchiha clan are all lunatics!

Hidezawa had no idea where Hikaru had heard about "fake brothers" from, and the series of questions almost left Hidezawa completely bewildered.

Because he really did lie.

Fortunately, Xiuze reacted quickly, only giving Guang a 'mysterious' look and implying that 'you'll know later' before saying anything more.

Of course, as for that "Uchiha friend," Hidezawa told Hikaru to ask Yugao himself.

Everyone knows about Shisui's situation, although to outsiders he is now considered dead.

After chatting with Yakushi Nonou and Yakushi Kabuto for a few minutes, Hidezawa finally spoke.

"Dean, I've come here this time to take Dou out for a while. I have some things to discuss with him."

"Oh?"

Dou blinked, still not understanding what was going on. Normally, they could communicate entirely through Xiuze's "secret technique".

"this"

Yakushi Nonou hesitated for a moment before asking.

"Won't going out of here cause you trouble? The Hokage said we should stay here. Actually, this place is quite nice; it has everything."

"I need Kabuto's help with something, and he should be fine with the mask on."

Xiuze smiled indifferently. He let them stay here to protect them, and at the same time, he didn't want Xiuze to know too much about the 'dark' things.

But they all knew in their hearts that there was no coincidence; it was all arranged by Xiuze in secret.

"I've already asked Tsunade to speak with the Hokage, so I don't think there will be any major problems."

"Is that so?"

After thinking for a moment, Yakushi Nonou finally nodded, but she didn't forget to give Kabuto a look, reminding him not to cause trouble.

Dou nodded, and soon the two of them left.

Perhaps Tsunade had already given the word, because the Anbu members didn't stop Hidezawa and his group when they saw them. They even reminded them not to be too conspicuous.

Before long, they left the secret service and came to a grove of trees outside.

"What's wrong? Is there something you wanted to ask me to come out?"

Wearing a mask, Kabuto looked at Hidezawa beside him and asked with a smile.

"Of course, do you remember what I told you?"

Xiuze nodded, then suddenly asked a question that made Dou pause slightly.

"You mean you're going to make a move?"

"Not yet, but the preliminary work will be done soon. Did you hear any news while you were in the Anbu?"

Hidetsawa shrugged. It was too early to make a move against Danzo. He had generated so much buzz for Danzo, how could he let it go to waste?

Traffic needs to be monetized, but now is not the time. At the very least, he can't lose his "Konoha civil servant" image.

"information?"

Kabuto didn't know what Xiuze meant or what Xiuze's plan was, but he trusted Xiuze.

After thinking for a moment, he asked a question out of curiosity.

"Is an envoy from the Land of Rain coming to visit Konoha? Is Danzo connected to the Land of Rain?"

"It's a huge deal. Huh?"

Xiuze casually replied, then suddenly froze.

An envoy from the Land of Rain?

Now that Hanzo is already dead, why is there still a special envoy coming to Konoha?

Suddenly his expression turned strange. Could this envoy be a member of the Akatsuki organization?

"Looks like I need to contact Kakuzu. He didn't even tell me about this beforehand."

Hidezawa thought about it for a moment, but he felt that Kakuzu might not really know, and this was probably an arrangement made by Nagato and the others.

"No, that's not it. You've heard about the Uchiha clan, haven't you?"

"Uchiha, huh?"

Dou frowned and lowered his voice.

"I've heard of it, but the Anbu forbids discussion, so I don't know much about it. Was this done by Danzo?"

"To be precise, I did it on Danzo's orders."

Xiuze patted Dou on the shoulder and added a sentence in Dou's astonished gaze.

"The person who was attacked is Uchiha Shisui. Do you understand the seriousness of the situation now?"

Kabuto was an experienced spy. Although he didn't have much contact with the Uchiha clan, he always managed to get some information while working in the Anbu.

He had heard that the Uchiha clan had serious problems, and when he heard that Hidezawa had actually killed Shisui, his expression changed.

"No wonder he didn't dare to investigate. This has disrupted the bridge between the Uchiha and Konoha. Has Danzo gone mad?"

And you, wasn't Uchiha Shisui your teammate? How could you bring yourself to kill a teammate?

"Being able to do it is one thing, but..."

Xiuze grabbed the corner of Dou's clothes, and in an instant, space shifted.

After feeling an extreme dizziness, Kabuto suddenly realized that they were in a basement.

Before them sat a figure, and Xiuze's voice rang in their ears.

Whether a person is dead or not is another matter entirely.

"Xiuze, you're here?"

This figure was none other than Shisui, who had already activated his Sharingan upon suddenly sensing the fluctuation of chakra.

However, upon seeing the newcomer, he immediately regained his bloodshot eyes, but his gaze also fell upon Dou.

"Oh, we have another guest? And who is this?"

"A bastard I want to strangle the most, a bastard who tricked me into going to the root of the problem, who was also my childhood friend."

As Hidezawa removed his mask, he gave a brief introduction to the pharmacist Kabuto. Kabuto, despite feeling dizzy, also removed his mask, but Hidezawa's introduction made him somewhat embarrassed.

"Hello, I think this isn't our first meeting."

"You're one of the two spies who returned to Konoha with us last time?"

Shisui had a good memory; he hadn't forgotten their "great achievements" in Iwagakure, and naturally he also remembered the two spies that Hidezawa had brought back.

He just didn't expect that these two spies would have such a deep relationship with Xiuze.

"Shisui, the fact that I brought him here shows that I trust him, and he's probably the one who wants to kill Danzo even more than you do."

Xiuze sat down casually, and after thinking for a moment, he continued to speak.

"As for why I came here today, I want to discuss some follow-up issues."

"What are the follow-up questions?"

Shisui glanced at Xiuzawa, then at Dou, and for a moment he didn't quite understand what Xiuzawa meant.

However, he eventually nodded. Xiuze naturally had his own plans. After all, having gone through so much, he had long trusted Xiuze's judgment.

"The Uchiha clan is making more and more noise, and no one can say for sure what will happen in the end."

Xiuze spoke directly, glancing at Shisui and Kabuto before slowly beginning to speak.

"Therefore, we need to make some preparations in advance to prevent the situation from worsening and leaving us with nothing to do."

"Will it worsen further?"

Shisui frowned slightly upon hearing these words, feeling that Xiuze might have gone a bit too far.

The Uchiha clan has come to this point, and someone has to pay the price. Shisui was able to foresee this.

External pressure from Danzo and internal inaction from Fugaku Uchiha have led the Uchiha clan to its current predicament.

He was powerless to do anything about it, but Xiuze's words seemed to indicate that things might escalate further.

Could it be that the entire family is going to suffer?

"Hidezawa, with the Third Hokage here, the problem shouldn't be too serious, right?"

"Isn't it too serious?"

Xiuze and Dou were stunned for a moment, then they looked at each other and finally looked at Shisui with sympathy.

"After what happened, you still believe in such things?"

Xiuze sighed helplessly, while Dou shook his head beside him.

"The Third Hokage may agree with your idea, but Danzo does things without any scruples. This is not the first or second time he has disobeyed the Third Hokage's orders."

"So, Shisui, you're really too naive."

Xiuze patted Shisui on the shoulder, and Kabuto chimed in with a sarcastic remark.

"Although we're not close, I want to ask you a question: Are you questioning Lord Danzo's character?"

Listening to Xiuze and Dou's back-and-forth banter, Zhishui's face froze at that moment.

"Is this Konoha?"

On the outskirts of Konoha, Konan looked up at the outline of Konoha Village not far away, and at the prominent Hokage Rock that seemed to be staring at everyone.

She quickly straightened her clothes, then led the ninjas from the Land of Rain forward.

"Shihara Hidezawa, I'm here!"

"I hope my sincerity will be adequately rewarded."
