The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

"Shin has already mastered Ice Release, so the development of Ice Release ninjutsu will be left to him. Just like Lava Release, I will only use Ice Release once a day to allow my body to gradually adapt to it."

It doesn't mean that once the adaptation period is over, the body's adaptation to the bloodline limit is gone.

This adaptation still exists, but it doesn't fundamentally change the body, that is, it doesn't evolve. Instead, it's similar to the development of the Five Elements Escape Technique. The bloodline chakra that the body can simultaneously convert and the speed of conversion are closely related to this later adaptation.

The development of ninjutsu can be left to the clones, but the adaptation can only be done by Uchiha Kiyoshi himself.

However, this adaptation is not very complicated; you can treat it as a regular daily practice, just like body tempering techniques.

马迦

Leaf.

Hui, Uchiha Kiyoshi's clone in Konoha, also began to change during this year.

With Fugaku Uchiha's secret support, Hikaru's identity underwent some changes. He was no longer just Orochimaru's assistant. The guard unit's files also recorded Hikaru as a Konoha ninja.

With the file Danzo made for Hui, Hui's identity can be said to be completely flawless.

The premise is that Hui himself does not expose himself.

With a proper identity, Hui began taking on missions and building relationships with Konoha ninjas.

In short, Hui is undergoing a transformation into a Konoha ninja.

Since the only "unfamiliar ninja" or out-of-town ninja that Hui usually needed to contact was Uchiha Kiyoshi himself, and their contact was accomplished silently using the Annihilation and Resurrection Technique, without showing any abnormal behavior, Hui left no trace during this year.

As Hui completed his year-long mission without leaving any trace, Konoha's vigilance towards him began to decrease.

In Konoha's records, Teru's status changed from unknown to temporarily safe.

"After thinking about it, I think it's best to make contact with Obito."

After all, Kamui is still a bit outrageous.

Didn't you feel bad when Obito targeted you that day?

Although I'm not afraid of him, Obito's unpredictable Kamui is still a bit disgusting.

Ideally, there should be a way to restrain the other party and ensure that Obito won't cause trouble for me later.

It's a bit too obvious that a mysterious Orochimaru assistant directly contacted a Uchiha clan ninja, so it's necessary to clear his identity.

Moreover, White Fang's plans here also require Hui to have a plausible identity.

With little time left before White Fang's suicide, Uchiha Kiyoshi wanted to save him and change his fate, but first he needed to be able to intervene.

"Sakumo, I've done so much to save you, and if you're still so stubborn then... sigh..."

The thought that he had finally succeeded in his plan, only to have Hatake Sakumo's mind go haywire gave Hui a headache.

Sakumo Hatake was too stubborn; otherwise, he wouldn't have committed suicide.

"Forget it, let's save them first and then think about other things."

Chapter 166 The White Teeth Incident

"White Teeth."

well!"

They were friends after all; I couldn't just stand by and watch someone die. But the cause of White Fang's death was too mysterious.

Can't handle rumors?

Bullshit!

They were all Kage-level powerhouses, ninjas with unwavering wills, yet they would commit suicide because of villagers' rumors?

Uchiha Kiyoshi didn't believe it.

However, Danzo must have done something to cause Sakumo Hatake's suicide.

I just don't know what role the root played in all of this.

"This time, the main body also needs to come over."

Hui also had his own plans.

"However, the news that White Fang abandoned the mission to save his companion has just happened and hasn't even spread among the villagers yet. There should still be several months before White Fang commits suicide, so there's no rush to notify the main body."

In the past two days, Hui has also been closely monitoring the people and events related to the white teeth incident.

First, there's the ninja that White Fang saved. Hikaru sent a shadow clone to keep an eye on him, to see if any Root ninjas would come, and when they would arrive.

Secondly, we need to keep a close eye on the Hatake clan.

Through occasional chance encounters with Kakashi over the course of the year, Hikaru got to know Sakumo Hatake, and their relationship progressed significantly.

Yes, on the surface.

Who is Hatake Sakumo? He's the famous White Fang of Konoha. Doesn't he see through Hikaru's intentions?

He wasn't sure why the other party wanted to befriend him, but even Orochimaru's assistant had to give him face when he came to make an acquaintance.

After all, Kiyoshi was Orochimaru's disciple, and he himself had some contact with Orochimaru back then.

As long as they don't have malicious intent towards me, it's fine.

In this respect, Sakumo Hatake was indeed very confident, a confidence befitting a swordsman.

Hui had no ill intentions towards him.

that's enough.

Thus, Hui and Hatake Sakumo got along quite well, and Hui would occasionally visit their home.

At this time, Hikaru would usually leave his chakra in the Hatake clan to facilitate his use of spiritual perception.

At the very least, we need to know which ninjas entered and exited the Hatake clan, and when they entered.

The ninja saved by Konoha's White Fang was named Aburame Shizuru. White Fang saved him when he was clearly about to be fatally attacked during a battle with the Hidden Cloud Village ninjas, but this also led to the mission's failure.

"This Aburame Shi is really strong, and he hasn't made any mistakes during missions before."

After investigating this oil woman, Zhizhen, Hui analyzed her life story.

"No, Shima Aburame isn't doing enough missions. It's not enough for him to be promoted to Jonin."

Furthermore, the other party was promoted a few years after World War II, so it had nothing to do with war merits.

Hui narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling as if he had discovered the problem.

"Shima Aburame definitely completed all his missions. It's unlikely that the Konoha higher-ups would make such an obvious mistake if he hadn't completed enough missions and was mistakenly promoted to Jonin. You have to understand that even the legendary Sannin, Minato Namikaze, and Kakashi Hatake, who are direct descendants of the Hokage, had to complete corresponding missions to be promoted."

"Therefore, part of Aburame Shima's file is classified and I cannot access it."

That's the dark area, or the root area?

It's highly unlikely to be the Anbu. After all, the Anbu isn't some shady organization. Almost all the ninjas in the village know about them, and not all of their missions are clandestine, so they wouldn't be left out of the regular files.

Furthermore, all ninjas who have served in the Anbu (secret branch of the Kuomintang) have this information recorded in their files.

"So, Aburame Shi is really a Root ninja!"

"Has Root already infiltrated the clan's ninja? The Aburame clan...?"

The fact that Teru was able to discover Shima Aburame's Root identity from the other party's file was not because Teru was particularly meticulous or intelligent, but simply because Teru looked at the file with a purpose, even with malice, which made his attitude different.

When other ninjas see the other's file, their first thought might be the other's terrifying mission success rate, rather than the number of missions completed.

Moreover, who would bother to use a ninja's file to assess someone else's situation?

Asking others would be more intuitive than this, wouldn't it?

Furthermore, ninja files aren't accessible to just anyone; at least through official channels, the Konoha leadership isn't allowed to access ninja files without the Hokage's approval. Accessing a ninja's file requires the Hokage's authorization.

As for where Hui got the file on Aburame Shima in his possession.

Hehe, of course it was obtained through irregular channels...

"If this Shima Aburame really is a Root ninja, then everything makes sense."

Even the deadly crisis at that time might have been staged.

"Sakumo, you're so stubborn. Danzo and his gang have been playing you for fools."

At this moment, Hui felt even more sympathy for Sakumo Hatake, the White Fang of Konoha.

Yes, sympathy.

To be schemed against by Danzo for no reason is simply unbelievable.

Hui believed that Hatake Sakumo truly had no interest in the Hokage position, but his belief was useless; everyone else had to believe it too.

Moreover, if you don't become Hokage and don't join any political party, you'll definitely be everyone's first target to deal with. Whether they want to recruit you or suppress you, that's for sure.

Even the Third Hokage wouldn't stand up for him.

Each Hokage can only come from the Hokage lineage!

And they have to be direct descendants of the Hokage!

Huh? Direct descendants?

"After Kakashi was taken in as a student by Minato Namikaze, he seemed to become one of Minato's protégés."

Hui fell silent.

"So, there was a reason behind Sakumo Hatake's suicide?"

Having seen the truth of everything, he still did not want to participate in the so-called factional struggle, nor did he have any ambition for the position of Hokage. However, he knew that if he continued like this, he would still be targeted and suppressed, even warned, and it might even affect Kakashi. Therefore, he reached an agreement with some people.

I'll give Kakashi the status of a direct descendant of the Hokage, not expecting him to become Hokage in the future, but only hoping that Kakashi won't get caught up in a vortex like mine in the future.

As for himself, he needed to give an explanation to the Third Hokage and Danzo.

However, perhaps even the Third Hokage couldn't have imagined that Sakumo Hatake would be so resolute as to choose suicide.

At this moment, Hui had a clearer understanding of the causes and consequences of Bai Ya's suicide.

"As expected, White Fang's death was of his own volition, not entirely due to being threatened."

But this is a real headache: how do you persuade the other person not to commit suicide?
