Shirou's clones number 30 million

"It's simple: suppress the Third Hokage's reputation and then win over other ninja clans."

"As expected of you. If I had met you sooner, Minato Namikaze wouldn't have become the Fourth Hokage."

Danzo nodded slightly, looking at him with satisfaction.

This is a talent he recently discovered. Although his ninja rank is only Genin and his strength is low, he is very intelligent and can speak eloquently about the current situation and future development of Konoha.

Moreover, some of the policies he proposed were quite astonishing. Once implemented, Konoha's strength would definitely increase rapidly, and it wouldn't be long before it was able to overpower the other four ninja villages.

Most importantly, he is not a pedantic person.

After "consultation" between the two, a plan was devised to elevate Shimura Danzo to the position of Hokage. The first step of the plan was to eliminate their political rival, the Uchiha clan.

"Lord Danzo, there is no time to lose, the next step of the plan can be carried out immediately."

"The plan requires us to make use of the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hyuga clan. The Hidden Cloud Village has always been eyeing the Hyuga clan's Byakugan. Knowing that the Uchiha clan has betrayed Konoha and that the village's strength has been greatly reduced, they will definitely come to test us."

“But that’s not enough; we need to take the initiative to make this happen.”

"If the envoy from Kumogakure dies at the hands of the Hyuga clan, Kumogakure will definitely threaten Konoha, demanding that they either hand over the culprit from the Hyuga clan or go to war."

"The Third Hokage is weak and easily bullied, and he certainly won't start a war over something like this. In the end, he might send someone from the Hyuga branch family to shut up the Cloud Village."

"At that time, Lord Danzo will stand up again with righteous indignation and show everyone his tough and unyielding attitude."

"At the same time, they secretly spread the negative image that the three generations of adults were old, cowardly, weak, and easily bullied, and that they forced their fellow villagers to their deaths under the threat of the enemy."

"Good!" Danzo couldn't help but smile.

As expected of the genius strategist I personally discovered, his strategic vision far surpasses that of Nara.

With such a perfect plan, Hiruzen, let's see how you can stop it.

Shinichi laughed along with him.

This is only the first half of the plan; the second half will require the Fourth Mizukage himself to take action.

After the Uchiha and Hyuga clans, the Senju clan could also be recruited.

Although allowing the Senju clan to intermarry with commoners and gradually disappear from Konoha was the intention of the previous two Hokage.

However, if you misinterpret it slightly, it becomes a conspiracy by the Third Hokage.

Moreover, with irrefutable evidence such as Danzo Shimura's research on interstitial cells, he had no way to refute it.

Chapter 456 Isn't this kind of personnel selection a joke?

Chapter 456, Section 457: Isn't this kind of personnel selection a joke?

The floating island carrying the Uchiha clan sailed across the ocean and flew straight to Kirigakure.

Under the moonlight, they settled in a place in Wuyin Village that was relatively close to the central area, which could be considered within the second ring road.

This is land that Mizukage Shirou created using magic.

Since this had never been done before, and it was an experimental field, the area was naturally not very large.

However, it is more than enough to accommodate the Uchiha clan.

Although night was falling, in order to show his respect for the Uchiha clan and to appease the villagers, Mizukage Shirou still led many clan leaders and ANBU members from Kirigakure to visit them.

As the head of the Terumi clan and the assistant to the Mizukage, Mei Terumi was naturally among them.

"Lord Mizukage." Fugaku Uchiha approached nervously to greet him.

"Chief Fugaku, let me introduce you. These will be your colleagues from now on."

Mizukage Shirou turned and looked at the various clan leaders, each with a different expression, and began to introduce them one by one:

"This is my wife, Mei Terumi, the head of the Terumi clan, and also the assistant to the Mizukage."

"Terumi-sama."

"This is the head of the Kaguya clan..."

When introducing the last person, Shirou noticed Kaguya Otsutsuki standing on the roof, looking at him with a complicated expression. He immediately spoke:

"This is Kaguya Otsutsuki, a new ninja who has joined the village."

Upon hearing her name, the head of the Bamboo Clan subconsciously frowned, but didn't think much of it, only feeling that her name sounded a bit awkward.

"Uchiha...a descendant of Hagoromo?"

"Since you're here, why don't you come down and chat for a bit? Do you expect me to go up and invite you down?" Mizukage Shirou chuckled.

"I have no interest. I just found your use of ninjutsu very interesting and came to observe."

"Want to learn? I can teach you."

"unnecessary."

Kaguya Otsutsuki paused for a moment, then continued:

Do I need money to buy things?

"Of course, that should be common sense, right?"

"Give it to me."

"You're saying that so confidently! Consider it a loan from me, you have to pay it back." Shirou turned to look at the astonished Mei Terumi and said with a smile, "Mei, get her two million later."

"Not enough!" Kaguya Otsutsuki suddenly spoke up.

"Huh...? How much do you want?"

"Ten million."

"Okay. Xiao Ming, get her ten million."

Mei Terumi stared at him blankly, then quickly came to her senses and nodded repeatedly.

"no problem."

Although full of doubts, it was not appropriate to ask in detail in front of so many people.

Fugaku Uchiha looked at the group with confusion, then turned to look at the clan leaders, who also looked puzzled, and kept wondering what was going on.

A woman with horns on her head is already very strange.

Moreover, they seem to lack common sense, almost like aliens.

"Xiao Ming, would you like to be a team leader for a while?"

"Am I not qualified yet? Besides, my abilities are somewhat lacking..."

If she were just an ordinary female ninja, there would naturally be no problem.

However, as the wife of the Mizukage, it would be too dangerous for her to lead a team out of the village when she was only an elite Jonin.

Mei Terumi was quite self-aware about this.

“I’ll assign you a vice-captain, and the two of you will teach the students together. You’ll teach common sense and experience, and she’ll teach ninjutsu.”

At this point, Shirou looked up at Kaguya Otsutsuki, who was about to leave, and said with a smile:

"Kaguya, come be Mei's vice-captain. We'll call off the ten million from earlier."

"I am not qualified to teach others."

"It's alright, as long as you know how to kill, that's enough. That's just the job of a ninja. As for those trivial team duties, Xiaoming will take care of them."

"I want to be the captain."

"Okay, then let Xiao Ming be your vice-captain."

Mei Terumi looked bewildered. What was going on? How did I become a vice-captain in the blink of an eye?

Who exactly is this woman that Shirou values ​​so highly?

Could it be that the goddess of the rabbit that was mentioned before was actually real?

Previously, she had been skeptical, thinking Shirou was just joking.

Looking back now, Shirou rarely jokes, so perhaps it's true.

But how is that possible?

Just a few years ago, Shirou couldn't even beat me, so how come he's now so strong that I can't even look at him?

"Well... I look forward to working with you from now on, Captain Kaguya."

"Okay." Kaguya Otsutsuki nodded slightly, it was unclear whether she was referring to her or the matter at hand.

"Where are the team members?" Mei Terumi immediately asked.

Shirou did not answer directly, but instead looked around.

The more perceptive individuals present immediately realized what was happening and quickly said:

"Our Hozuki clan happens to have a suitable candidate!"

"Me too!"

We were too late!

It was only then that Fugaku Uchiha realized that the Mizukage's sudden mention of having his wife as the team leader was clearly intended to help the Uchiha clan integrate into Kirigakure more quickly.

I was so stupid; I didn't even realize it right away.

"Lord Mizukage, there are quite a few members of our Uchiha clan who also want to become the students of Clan Chief Terumi."

"I didn't expect there to be so many suitable candidates. In that case... let each of us gather our people together, and let Mei and Kaguya choose together."

"Yes!"

......

Itachi, there might be a test tomorrow. You must perform well and try to be chosen by the Mizukage's wife.

On the training field, recalling his father's words again, Itachi Uchiha felt a little nervous.

Having lived in Konoha for many years, I wonder how strong my peers in Kirigakure are?

At that moment, Kaguya Otsutsuki suddenly pointed at the girl next to her.

"You, you, and you too!"
