Revitalizing the Uchiha clan starts with becoming a Kage.

There's no need to explain it to Si.

The Third Tsuchikage, who had already gathered relevant intelligence, knew very well that the Uchiha clan, having experienced a major battle and the subsequent fierce pursuit, must have suffered a high casualty rate. It was almost impossible for any member of the Uchiha clan to possess 'Yang Release Chakra,' so there was no way anyone could become a professional medical ninja. At most, a small number of female clan members might be able to use some basic medical techniques.

But this is clearly far from enough!

In addition, this kind of temporary departure plan makes it difficult to be fully prepared, and basic supplies are also a major problem. This is why the majority of the vanguard led by Huang Tu consisted of medical and logistics personnel.

The real support force.

Then, the elite troops led by Chi Tu followed behind.

As Fugaku returned.

Seeing this, my heartstrings relaxed even more. From this small detail, I can see that the Third Tsuchikage is very sincere and is not deceiving the Uchiha clan. Just confirming this is enough.

We strode into Fugaku, the central area of ​​the camp.

Shisui, Elder Zongxuan, and Elder Xuanlan were already gathered there. As for Jiangsi, he goes without saying. Another burly figure wearing a red uniform from Iwagaku Village with a yellow-brown vest immediately caught Fugaku's attention.

A majestic and powerful aura.

At first glance, Fugaku could tell that this Iwa ninja must be the son of the Third Tsuchikage, the same Tsuchikage who had a considerable reputation in the ninja world!

"Chieftain!"

Jiang Si also noticed the arrival of his clan leader and Itachi's short figure immediately, and stepped forward to greet them.

"Let me introduce you. This is Mr. Huang Tu, and this is Fugaku Uchiha, the head of our Uchiha clan. Head, this is the son of the Tsuchikage, and also the village commander who led the team to support and support our Uchiha clan this time—Mr. Huang Tu!"

Shoji stood between the two and introduced themselves to each other. As his identity had changed, Shoji deliberately changed his tone and address, because from this moment on, he, and even the entire Uchiha clan, were now members of Iwagakure!

You might feel a little uncomfortable at first, but you have to constantly remind yourself of these details from the very beginning, because if you don't consider yourself a member of Iwagakure, how can you expect others to accept you?

With the combined influence of strength and status.

In their previous meeting, Elders Zongxuan and Xuanlan both showed basic respect for Huangtu.

He possesses power at almost the level of a 'Kage', backed by his past achievements, and is also the only son of the Tsuchikage.

Fugaku was no exception.

As he clasped his hands together with the loess soil.

With a perfectly measured expression of gratitude and respect on his face, Fugaku said, "We are extremely grateful for the support of the Tsuchikage and the assistance of Kitsuchi-kun. The Uchiha clan will always remember this kindness!"

139. Uchiha enters Iwagakure.

P.S.: Thank you to all my readers for your donations, votes, and subscriptions!

This is indeed a win-win strategy.

The Uchiha clan can significantly raise the ceiling of Iwagakure, undoubtedly making it the number one ninja village that surpasses Kumogakure and rivals Konoha. However, at this stage, Iwagakure's decision to accept the Uchiha clan is an act of kindness!

Providing the homeless Uchiha clan with a stable place to rest and recuperate was of paramount importance to their survival.

Especially when they were face-to-face, after exchanging glances with Shoji and obtaining the most crucial information he wanted to know, Fugaku's words were completely devoid of any false sentiment.

"No, this is what I should do, because we are already comrades, Clan Chief Fugaku!"

Although Huang Tu was a bit more simple-minded than his father, the Tsuchikage, he was by no means a political novice. In the end, Huang Tu did not become the Fourth Tsuchikage in the original work, most likely because he himself was unwilling, just like Jiraiya. Later, it was because his daughter was also qualified to become the Tsuchikage.

This person will be skipped directly.

Otherwise, even by the highest standards of ninjas, Huang Tu and Jiraiya would be considered outstanding top-tier individuals.

In his words and deeds, he never makes any inappropriate mistakes.

Words spoken at just the right moment to build rapport can easily win someone's favor.

At least, Fugaku, along with Genran, Sogen, Shisui, and others, all had a very good first impression of this son of the Third Tsuchikage.

"Yes! From today onwards, we are companions in the same village!"

After a slight pause, Fugaku gripped the yellow earth even tighter.

Although many things are still in the uncertain future, things are going very smoothly at the beginning.

"Clan leader, Lord Tsuchikage has already allocated a settlement for our clan in the village. The Eighth Generation Elder will stay there to work with the village's professionals to build our clan's resettlement area. We should also start arranging our departure as soon as possible and return to the Land of Earth!"

Although only a handful of ninja clans in the ninja world dared to covet the Uchiha clan, now that the clan has joined Iwagakure and has Iwagakure troops to support them, the leaders of those ninja villages have to think twice.

However, some people are indeed blinded by greed and will take risks.

Sunagakure and Kirigakure can be ruled out for the time being, but the Fourth Raikage of Kumogakure and Danzo Shimura of Konoha are still on the highest alert. No one can be sure whether these two will do something that crosses the line.

Especially the latter.

Not to mention that Shoji had no idea that Hiruzen Sarutobi had already imposed the strictest restrictions on Danzo Shimura and Root's actions. Even if he did know this, Shoji would not give up any fear of Danzo Shimura!

Leaving aside the original story, Shoji's own personal experience in this life is enough to illustrate the point. The Uchiha clan's defection this time can be said to have been orchestrated by Danzo Shimura. If it weren't for Danzo Shimura, Shoji would still be steadfastly carrying out his first plan and would never have shifted to this matter.

You could even say that...

On the occasion of Konoha's 50th anniversary.

They would also take the initiative to use missions to wander the ninja world in search of Jiraiya and Tsunade, trying every means to bring one of them back to the village and start the next generation of leadership in Konoha as soon as possible!

Therefore, Shoji can relax a little in any aspect, but he must learn a lesson from that old scoundrel Shimura Danzo!

As long as this old scoundrel lives, Jiang Si's heart will never be at peace.

Therefore, even if it was a little rushed, Shoji still hoped that his clan could go to the Land of Earth and arrive at Iwagakure Village as soon as possible!

Fugaku held the same view.

The longer a clan stays away from home, the higher the risk becomes. In addition, it is easy for panic and unease to arise. Not everyone can maintain a calm mindset when facing such dangers, and negative emotions are the easiest to spread. Now, the clan is filled with anger and sadness because of the deaths of too many clan members. It is only because Fu Yue, Elder Zong Xuan, Elder Xuan Lan and others have high prestige that the clan is not easily torn apart.

Even the strongest person cannot escape the limitations of being 'human'.

"Yes, I understand!"

At this moment.

Fugaku nodded emphatically.

"Then we'll have to trouble Mr. Yellow Earth a lot from now on!"

"No, this is my duty!"

Those who are able to move out should be prioritized to set off, while those who are more seriously injured should stay behind for the time being. Fortunately, this time we have the support force from Iwagakure. Even just the advance team consists of more than a hundred elite Iwagakure ninja, so there is no need to worry about insufficient protection.

We can confidently allow the elderly, women, and children to set off ahead of schedule.

As long as they can successfully cross the border between the Land of Earth and the Land of Grass, the second batch of Iwa ninja led by Akatsuchi will be there to meet them. After all, it is still a period of peace, and the Land of Grass is a country with a rather ambiguous relationship.

With Iwagakure, or more precisely, Onoki, still having some reservations, sending two or three hundred Iwagakure ninja across the border into the Land of Grass was already considered crossing the line. If not handled carefully, it would be a blatant signal of war!

Given that its geographical location is only slightly better than Konoha's, but it still has to compete with the three major powers, Onoki, as the Tsuchikage, needs to carefully consider any decision he makes.

With only two years and one year since the end of the Third Shinobi World War, not only Konoha, but all the major nations are now in a situation where they are afraid of both sides.

Therefore, returning the Uchiha clan to Iwagakure in the shortest possible time is the approach that best suits Onoki's wishes.

It's better to do it sooner rather than later!

The Uchiha clan rested for three full days in the Land of Grass.

It was also when Fugaku's order was issued that they were mobilized again. Although there were still some clansmen who felt lost and confused about the future, at least for now they had a clear goal to move forward.

Live!

Live on strongly!

This is the shared will of the remaining members of the Uchiha clan.

The sheer size of the departing force, numbering over two thousand, was impossible to conceal, especially as news of the Iwa ninja crossing the border and arriving in the Land of Grass, along with the news of the Uchiha clan's renewed departure, spread.

The entire ninja world was once again shaken.

Because this is a very clear signal.

This signifies that the Uchiha clan and Iwagakure have reached a tacit agreement.

The strongest clan in the ninja world is about to join Iwagakure!

It can be said that when this news was quickly relayed back to the village by the scouts from various countries, the leaders of those countries, especially the Fourth Raikage A and the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, all showed an expression of disbelief and anger at the same time!

140. Shock and Anger

This is a reasonable scenario, but it is a scenario that no ninja village except Iwagakure would want to see. If the Uchiha clan did not join their own ninja village and their village could not obtain the Sharingan's bloodline limit, they would naturally hope to see the Uchiha clan independent of the five great villages, returning to the old ninja clan survival mode, or joining a small ninja village!

Even complete destruction would be the best outcome!

The only thing he couldn't accept was joining one of the other five great ninja villages that wasn't his own. It could be said that the moment he learned of this news, the Fourth Raikage, A, smashed the desk in his office once again.

As the village's leader, and having fought a fierce battle with Iwagakure during the Third Shinobi World War, Kumogakure was the village most familiar with Iwagakure's strength and the most hostile to it. This was especially true for the Fourth Raikage, A, whose village had been defeated by Iwagakure and whose father had died at the hands of Iwagakure ninja.

This deep-seated hatred was etched in the heart of the Fourth Raikage, A, at all times. Given the chance, this Raikage, along with the entire Hidden Cloud Village, would surely unleash the most brutal revenge. But now, upon hearing that the Uchiha clan had actually joined the Hidden Stone Village...

I feel terrible!

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Samui, immediately order the gathering of all the Jonin in the village! I'm sending troops out immediately! I'll surround and wipe out the entire Uchiha clan on the border between Kusanagi and Tsuchiya!"

In the Raikage's office in Kumogakure.

The Fourth Raikage, A, with a furious expression, slammed his fist on the newly replaced smooth tabletop in front of him again, shouting in an uncontrollable tone.

The two Raikage's personal secretaries, Mabui and Samui, who were sitting nearby, looked at each other with a bewildered expression. Samui had no idea whether her Raikage was speaking angrily or really intended to start a war.

Fortunately, we are in the office at this moment.

There is also someone who can persuade the Fourth Raikage, A.

"Lord Raikage, please calm down. You should know very well that this is simply impossible. Not to mention that the Uchiha clan still has a huge remaining population, just the three Uchiha clansmen with the Mangekyou Sharingan—Uchiha Shoji, Uchiha Fugaku, and Uchiha Shisui—are not beings that ordinary forces can stop. Even if we were to just face these people, we Kumogakure would have to pay a very heavy price to take them down, which is not in the interests of Kumogakure!"

Tsuchida took a step ahead, first waving gently to Samui and Mabui, allowing the two girls to breathe a sigh of relief and quietly retreat to a more distant position. Then, this 'strategist' who had served as the highest strategist of Kumogakure since the Third Raikage looked at the Fourth Raikage in front of him with a very serious expression and said the following.

How terrifying is the Uchiha clan!

Each of the major ninja villages has its own understanding of the Sharingan, a bloodline limit, and there are varying degrees of written records about it. Why were the first Hokage of the four major ninja villages so frustrated? It wasn't so much because of the first Hokage, but because compared to ordinary ninjas, he was practically a model of a 'good guy'!

Madara Uchiha was the only exception.

Cold-blooded, brutal, and ruthless!
