The world I hear is completely different from yours.

As early as when the Uchiha ninjas gathered, Tianqing had already used her listening ability to carefully listen to the revelations about the personal items on their bodies. Therefore, Tianqing now clearly knew which of the Uchiha were supporters of the village and which were treacherous traitors.

Next, the ANBU that Ame-no-Kami had already arranged will be deployed to deal with all those traitors using various reasons and methods, with complete evidence that makes it impossible to overturn the case, ensuring that the other Uchiha ninjas are convinced and have no objections.

Of course, Tianqing wouldn't reveal such a cunning thought. So Tianqing turned her head and said to Orochimaru with a righteous expression, "Of course I believe it, because I believe in their Will of Fire."

She radiates light; she's practically a saint reborn!

Instantly, this overwhelming righteous energy stunned Orochimaru, who even forgot his habitual habit of sticking out his tongue to lick his lips! At this moment, Orochimaru did not yet have the thick skin of the villainous big boss he would become later, so a trace of shame flashed across his face. He felt embarrassed for judging the Hokage with his petty mind. How could he doubt the Hokage's magnanimity?

.............

P.S. My schedule is a bit tight today, I don't know if I can add more chapters.

Chapter 56 The Hokage's actions are just that fair and impartial!

After leaving the meeting room, Uchiha Shisui returned to his small room with a belly full of worries. He sat blankly on his small bed, looking at the dark night outside the window, his heart filled with conflict.

"Brother Shisui? What just happened? Why do you look so bad?" Senju Nawaki poked his head out from the small room next door. As a "second-generation ninja," he unceremoniously used his privileges to forcibly move into the room next to Uchiha Shisui, continuing to pursue his life goal of following the "King of Chicken".

"Nawaki, can I ask you a question?" Uchiha Shisui looked at his die-hard fanboy and the last legitimate male heir of the Senju clan and asked seriously, "Why did you come to the battlefield?"

"Yes, why did you come to this battlefield?" Uchiha Shisui couldn't understand. The Senju clan was nearly extinct; their vast clan territory was deserted, with only Tsunade, Senju Nawaki, and a handful of others residing there. As the last legitimate male heir of the Senju clan, it was practically a death sentence for the clan if he died. So why did Senju Nawaki come to this battlefield where death was a constant threat?

Let's not even talk about the two teammates Tsunade deliberately arranged for him. Even the tightest protective net has its loopholes, and anything can happen on this ever-changing battlefield. Besides, they were just two Jonin. Once the enemy is determined to completely annihilate the Senju clan and unleashes their full power, sending all their elite forces into the fray, how many seconds can two mere Jonin hold out?

As the saying goes, "A son of a wealthy family doesn't sit under a dangerous roof," so why should you, Senju Nawaki, risk your life on the battlefield for a little bit of merit? With the Senju clan's reputation and status, even without any merit, you'd still be an elder in the Konoha cabinet. As for that dream of becoming Hokage, can you compete with Minato Namikaze for merit now that you're only starting to strive for it? Is it really necessary to gamble your life and all the hopes of the Senju clan for a position that might only be attainable decades from now?

"Why did you come to the battlefield?" Senju Nawaki clearly didn't understand the hidden meaning in Uchiha Shisui's question, and answered very straightforwardly, "The village is currently at war, and as a member of Konoha, of course I have to contribute my own strength. Why are you asking such a question, Shisui-nii?"

Uchiha Shisui stared blankly at Senju Nawaki's slightly childish face. Years of experience told him that everything Senju Nawaki had just said was from the bottom of his heart.

In that instant, Uchiha Shisui suddenly realized he understood why the Senju clan had served as Hokage for so many terms, while the Uchiha clan had never held the position. The Uchiha clan always prioritized preserving their own power, while the Senju clan always fought for the village's interests. This was the real reason why everyone in the village supported the Senju but not the Uchiha. Previously, the Uchiha clan had always complained about the village's discriminatory treatment and lamented their inability to compete with the Senju, but they had never seen the price the Senju clan had paid for it.

"Is this the Senju clan's love for Konoha?" Uchiha Shisui murmured to himself, his mind swirling with thoughts.

*Crack!* In an instant, a trace of blood and tears appeared in Uchiha Shisui's eyes, and his Sharingan, which originally only had two tomoe, suddenly gained another tomoe!

"Brother Shisui, your eyes!" Senju Nawaki exclaimed in surprise as he looked at the three tomoe in Shisui's eyes. "How amazing! Is this the evolution of the Sharingan? I never imagined that Brother Shisui could not only fight at three times the speed, eat at three times the speed, but even his eyes could move at three times the speed!"

"Yes, from today onwards, I am the 'Konoha's' Three Times Speed ​​Instant Shisui!" This time, Uchiha Shisui no longer referred to himself as "Uchiha's" Shisui, but as "Konoha's" Shisui!

..................

In the aircraft carrier's command center, Tian Qing watched as her direct subordinates returned after completing their mission, and activated her listening ability!

"Have you dealt with all those Uchiha traitors?"

"All taken care of!" said a squad leader wearing a bird-face mask. "The mission went very smoothly. As long as we don't look into their eyes, those Uchiha traitors are no match for us!"

At the same time, the bird-faced mask spoke up: "Bullshit, he's talking nonsense! Just now, when dealing with a three-tomoe Uchiha traitor, he accidentally glanced at the other party out of habit and was immediately pulled into a genjutsu by the Uchiha's Sharingan. He was almost killed instantly. Fortunately, his subordinates arrived in time, otherwise his name would already have a place on the memorial tablet."

"Hmm, you did a good job." Tian Qing looked at the ANBU squad leader with a half-smile, secretly noting down his number. You dared to lie about military intelligence? Very well, your performance bonus for this year is gone! And next month's salary will be halved! And you won't be eligible for the Advanced Ninja title next time either!!

Yes, this Hokage is just that fair and impartial! Under my watchful eyes, nothing can escape my notice!

The punishment may be delayed, but it will never be absent! Don't underestimate a woman's petty nature!

"Now that all the traitors have been eliminated, you should immediately inform the remaining Uchiha ninjas to prepare. Once the aircraft carrier lands, we will immediately assemble on the ground and return to Konoha by land!"

Although the expeditionary force had previously sent back to the village with the message that they would arrive in Konoha the day after tomorrow morning, in reality, the expeditionary force's aircraft carrier had already arrived not far from Konoha Village by that time. At the speed of ninjas, it would only be a two-hour journey!

Tonight, Ame will lead all the Anbu and the Uchiha ninjas loyal to the village directly into Konoha, storm the Uchiha clan's territory, and eliminate all the rebels inside!

The claim that they would only be able to return to Konoha Village the morning after tomorrow was just a smokescreen deliberately sent back to the village to lull the Uchiha clan into a false sense of security! Moreover, to prevent the operation from being discovered by the Uchiha clan's reconnaissance ninjas on the ground, Ameyoshi also ordered the Konoha Anbu to send out capable personnel to eliminate all suspicious individuals along the route, ensuring the absolute secrecy of the operation.

"According to the agreed-upon time, that person should have removed all the obstacles along this route by now, right?" Tianqing thought to himself. "With your Flying Thunder God Technique and the Gold Cloth I gave you, you should be able to completely overwhelm the grunts along the way, right, Minato Namikaze?"

Chapter 57 To whom can I tell my pain?

"Huh? Why are all the aircraft carriers descending?" A Konoha ninja who couldn't sleep at night, looking out the dark sky and busy counting sheep in an attempt to lull himself to sleep, suddenly asked in surprise.

"Really?" Upon hearing this, a Jonin on duty nearby also leaned out to take a look. "It's true, the aircraft carrier is indeed descending. Why is that? This wasn't part of the previous marching plan."

Subsequently, numerous squad leaders, having received orders from their superiors, rushed over and relayed the emergency that "all aircraft carriers need to land for maintenance" to every ninja in the army. They also explained that since the maintenance would be very short and the carriers would take off again immediately after a brief landing, all ninjas were required to remain in their rooms to prevent anyone from getting lost after landing and being unable to board the ship.

"Repair?" The Konoha ninja who was counting sheep lay helplessly on the bed after hearing the order from his squad leader, staring blankly at the ceiling. "Looks like I won't be able to count sheep while looking out the window anymore."

To prevent the leakage of aircraft carrier manufacturing technology, all windows on the aircraft carrier are closed during maintenance to prevent personnel inside the carrier from observing the maintenance work outside. Therefore, during this brief maintenance process, no one would realize that when the aircraft carrier landed, their Hokage had already disembarked with many people.

"Report! All personnel have landed!" a Hyuga clan ninja shouted.

"Very well, then it's time for us to take off!" Orochimaru said in a hoarse voice, sitting in the commander's seat, while licking his lips with his long tongue. For the next while, these aircraft carriers would circle Konoha Village high in the sky until they received Tianqing's order, at which point they would officially enter the airspace above Konoha Village.

In this operation, to prevent any unforeseen events from occurring while Tensei was absent, Orochimaru did not leave with Tensei, but remained with the expeditionary force as acting commander-in-chief. After all, the Uchiha traitors previously dealt with still wielded considerable influence within the Konoha army. Even with irrefutable evidence of their crimes, they could still be exploited by malicious individuals, potentially causing unrest. Therefore, it was necessary for a powerful figure like Orochimaru, with considerable prestige, to remain in the army to ensure stability during this period.

........................

When the troops returning to the village reassembled on the ground, Uchiha Shisui keenly noticed a difference: the number of Uchiha clan ninjas gathered this time was less than the number gathered in the command room last time.

"They were probably assigned to stay on the aircraft carrier to handle other important tasks." Uchiha Shisui didn't think too much about it. After all, it was rare to see a lord like Tenqing who could immediately see through all the players' identity cards at the beginning of the game, then use a Zhuge Crossbow to kill the traitor with four Kill cards, and then lead the loyal subjects to slaughter the remaining rebels.

"So, is everyone here?" Tian Qing asked, standing at the front of the line.

“Yes, everyone is here, Hokage!” said one of the ANBU squad leaders.

"Very good, everyone move out!"

At Tian Qing's command, figures shot off like arrows into the darkness.

"Minato, you seem to be in a bad mood?" Tensei asked Minato Namikaze as he ran.

Even before the aircraft carrier landed, Minato Namikaze had already completed the task of clearing out all suspicious persons along the way and was waiting for the troops to assemble near the aircraft carrier's landing point.

However, Minato Namikaze, the blond, warm-hearted man who used to always have a sunny smile, now had a gloomy face, as if someone owed him tens of millions of dollars. Not only was his face anxious, but when he saw the Uchiha ninja in the group, a hint of hostility flashed in his eyes, intentionally or unintentionally.

"Nothing's wrong, I'm just not in a good mood," Minato Namikaze said casually, as if he had some unspeakable secret, like having his period unexpectedly.

Unfortunately, when faced with Tian Qing's listening skills, you can't help but talk, no matter what you want to say.

"Activate your listening ability!"

Minato Namikaze spoke up, his headband protruding: "Shortly after Minato's team returned to the village, Obito Uchiha disappeared, along with his entire family. The Konoha Police Department concluded that Obito had defected. For safety reasons, Minato has brought Rin Nohara's entire family to live with Kushina in the Senju clan's territory. He's also been guarding them day and night to prevent the Uchiha clan from harming them again. He absolutely will not leave the village this time if it weren't for a mission."

This time, Minato Namikaze underestimated the power of the Uchiha clan. No matter how high Minato's reputation was in the village, even though he was the most popular candidate for the next Hokage, he was still just an ordinary Jonin and had no power to resist the orders issued by the Uchiha clan as the Konoha Guard.

Minato Namikaze originally planned to rely on the power of Elder Hiruzen Sarutobi to fight against the Uchiha clan. However, to his surprise, due to the sudden outbreak of the war on the front line, Hiruzen Sarutobi had to leave Konoha and personally lead the troops to fight the enemy. The two elders left in the village who had no real power were simply no match for the Uchiha clan.

Although the Uchiha clan dared not openly harm Minato Namikaze due to his status as a Hokage candidate, they had no such scruples when it came to his genin disciples. Kakashi Hatake was relatively safe, as the Hatake clan was a fairly large clan, and Sakumo Hatake's strength was sufficient to protect him. However, Obito Uchiha was in a different situation; his entire family was on Uchiha clan territory, and the clan could dispose of them as they pleased. Rin Nohara, a commoner ninja, was even more vulnerable. If it weren't for Minato's arrangement to move into the Senju clan's territory, it's likely that more than just Obito's family would have been "defected."

Considering the influence of the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan on the Nine-Tails, could these rebellious Uchiha ninjas take advantage of Minato Namikaze's absence to enter the Senju clan's territory and attack Kushina Uzumaki, the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki? After all, who in the Senju clan can actually stop the Uchiha clan now? They're just using the name "Senju" to intimidate others!

Minato Namikaze, constantly worried about the safety of his disciple and girlfriend, was naturally in a bad mood. With so many Uchiha ninjas behind him, he couldn't directly complain to Tensei about the evil deeds of the Uchiha clan.

P.S. First update. Please continue to bookmark and recommend. I missed an update yesterday due to some things, so I'm making up for it today. I'm really sorry.

Chapter 58 Every goalkeeper is very experienced

Midnight is the darkest and most intense time of day.

"Ah..." Uchiha Chitoshi stretched and yawned lazily. As a member of the Konoha Guard, Uchiha Chitoshi had been guarding the gates of Konoha for almost ten years. Although it was currently a time of war, with Konoha fighting against several other major powers, the village was located far from the front lines, and the Konoha army was achieving great success. Therefore, Uchiha Chitoshi had become somewhat complacent.

“Senior, it’s not good to slack off while on duty!” A young Uchiha man standing nearby said somewhat angrily after seeing Uchiha Senji’s actions. “The vice-clan leader emphasized this before: no matter who you see, you must report to the clan immediately. Only with the clan’s permission can you allow others to enter Konoha Village!”

"Heh, the vice-clan head's order?" Uchiha Senji didn't take offense at the junior's rudeness, but instead asked with considerable curiosity, "Does everyone have to be informed? So, even when the Hokage returns, he has to inform the clan first?"

"This..." The Uchiha youth choked on his words, only able to stammer, "As the Konoha Police Force, shouldn't we do our best to protect the village's safety? ...The Hokage, as a member of the village, should naturally have notified us or something..."

Hmph, these idiots who've been fooled by Uchiha Matsu! Uchiha Senji looked at the stuttering Uchiha youth and immediately lost interest in teasing him. Instead, he turned around boredly and stared blankly at the dark forest in the distance, no longer trying to provoke his junior.

As a middle-aged man with considerable life experience, Uchiha Senji had already sensed something unusual about the Uchiha clan. Previously, it had only been him and another Konoha Chunin guarding the gate, but in the past few days, the Konoha Police Force, citing "strengthening village security," had transferred that Konoha Chunin away and replaced him with several Uchiha ninjas.

It's important to understand that the main gate of Konoha, as the village's primary access point, has always been jointly guarded by the Uchiha and Senju clans. Even now that the Senju clan is gone, Konoha would never allow the Uchiha clan to control it alone. In short, the Uchiha clan's actions are a serious challenge to Konoha's bottom line!

Moreover, these Uchiha ninjas sent to guard the gate were all supporters of the vice-clan head, Uchiha Matsu; not a single one was a supporter of the clan head, Uchiha Fugaku. Even if the Uchiha clan wanted to cause trouble, that decision should be made by the clan head, not by a vice-clan head.

Indeed, Uchiha Matsu, having awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, is currently the strongest ninja in the Uchiha clan. However, he is not Uchiha Madara; he doesn't have a brother with the Mangekyou Sharingan. Therefore, his Mangekyou Sharingan will soon cause him to lose his sight due to overuse, and his immense power will vanish like smoke in an instant. This is one of the reasons why Uchiha Matsu wasn't chosen as the new clan leader during the election process. Who would choose a blind man who is destined to go blind soon to be the head of their clan?

So what exactly is Vice Clan Chief Uchiha Matsu planning? Uchiha Senji frowned as he pondered.

Not long ago, clan head Uchiha Fugaku claimed to be ill and did not appear in public, with vice clan head Uchiha Matsu temporarily taking charge of clan affairs. After that, the Uchiha clan's style of doing things changed significantly, and even elders like Uchiha Senji could not stand their methods.

For example, the matter of Obito Uchiha's "entire family defecting" greatly displeased Senji Uchiha. He and Obito's family were neighbors, so Senji knew everything about them. What was there for such an ordinary family to defect from? It was simply murder to silence them, wasn't it? But what important secret did the Uchiha clan have that was so important that they needed to turn against their own clan to cover it up?

"Who goes there?! State your name or we'll attack!" an Uchiha ninja shouted, raising his weapon and aiming it at a ninja who emerged from the darkness.

"It's me, Uchiha Shisui." Uchiha Shisui, who was walking in front, raised his head so that the other person could see his face clearly, and then asked casually, "Why are you the ones guarding the gate? Where are the Konoha ninjas who were supposed to be guarding the gate?"

Several Uchiha ninja activated their Sharingan. After confirming that Uchiha Shisui was not an imposter disguised as another ninja, they vaguely replied, "It's a new rule in the clan... Oh right, Shisui, weren't you supposed to be on the front lines? Why are you back?"

"Nothing much, just back to carry out a mission." Uchiha Shisui replied casually as he continued walking forward, then added in his mind: This mission is to come back and eliminate you traitors!

Initially, after seeing the information Tianqing provided, Uchiha Shisui still held a sliver of hope, believing it might all be a misunderstanding, simply due to communication problems between the Anbu and the Uchiha clan. However, after witnessing the behavior of the group of Uchiha ninja at the Konoha gates, Uchiha Shisui completely lost hope.

"Vice Clan Leader Uchiha Matsu! Look at the mess you've made! What exactly have you been feeding your supporters?!" A surge of uncontrollable anger and sorrow welled up within Uchiha Shisui. He knew very well that after this operation, these Uchiha ninjas who had participated in the rebellion would likely meet a terrible end.

One step, two steps. The moment Uchiha Shisui approached them, Uchiha Senji looked at Shisui's expressionless face and a sudden, indescribable fear welled up in his heart. He remembered that back on the battlefield, it was this sudden intuition that allowed him to dodge a fatal blow from the enemy!

Then, all the Uchiha ninjas fell to the ground like wheat in a downpour!

Triple-speed Body Flicker Technique!! At such close range, Uchiha Shisui's speed was like teleportation!

Flying Thunder God Technique!! Using the Flying Thunder God mark that struck Uchiha Shisui on the back, Namikaze Minato instantly appeared in the middle of the enemy; his speed was teleportation!

With the combined speed of these two experts, the Uchiha ninjas guarding the door were taken down before they could even react!

"It seems something terrible is about to happen to the Uchiha clan." In his last moments before collapsing, this thought flashed through Uchiha Senji's mind before his consciousness faded into darkness.

Chapter Fifty-Nine: A dead man hangs himself in the sky, a dead ball is a dead ball—On courting death

Outside the Uchiha clan's territory, a dozen ANBU operatives quickly formed a specific formation, and then each of them simultaneously formed the same ninjutsu with both hands: "Combination Ninjutsu * Black Cavity Barrier!!"

Instantly, a massive barrier enveloped the Uchiha clan's territory, completely absorbing all sounds and light emanating from within, ensuring that the outside world remained completely unaware of what was happening within the clan's grounds.

"Mission begins!!"

Then, a large number of figures rushed in quickly. With the assistance of many Uchiha ninjas, everyone involved in the operation became thoroughly familiar with the terrain of the mission area. Afterwards, the Uchiha ninjas were responsible for appeasing the ordinary people in the clan's territory and persuading those who were unaware of the situation to surrender. As for those die-hards loyal to Uchiha Matsu, the Uchiha ninjas and Konoha's Anbu worked together to eliminate them.
