The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

Strictly speaking, even if the Hokage did something wrong this time, their actions were still excessive.

At the same time, the Third Hokage seemed to have realized something as well.

And so, all three parties fell silent.

Hiruzen Sarutobi realized that his position was unstable.

The family's power is still too great!

Deep down, perhaps even he himself didn't realize that he was becoming increasingly wary of his family's power!

"Ugh!

Let's leave this matter here.

Danzo kidnapped ninjas from his own village, and although it was for the village's sake, he ultimately made a mistake.

Effective today, Danzo is relieved of his position as an elder.

Also, the roots...

Temporary rectification.

The remaining villages will compensate you.

At this moment, although the Hokage's words were so calm, they fully demonstrated the Hokage's authority.

He is the true Hokage!

He is the highest decision-maker in Konoha!

Chapter 126 Planning

The Third Hokage made the final judgment, and no matter how dissatisfied the various clans were, there was nothing they could do.

With the Third Hokage currently in power, that means the other side has the most power.

We can't keep arguing about this anymore; we should focus on compensation!

The solution has been found, and it was decided by you, the Third Hokage.

Okay, we'll give you that favor.

However, the compensation must be offered with sufficient sincerity!

After much wrangling, a final result was reached.

Each family provides some form of compensation in terms of resources, and there are also quotas for members of the Dark Guard.

That's right, the Third Hokage used this as compensation!

Anbu, a department directly under the Hokage.

The direct descendants of the Hokage.

It not only brings the various clans and the Hokage closer together, but also makes it easier for the clans to receive information in a timely manner.

Previously, the recruitment conditions for the Anbu depended entirely on the Hokage. Even if each clan had some clan ninjas among them, the number was definitely not large.

The number of slots offered by the Third Hokage this time is equivalent to the number they accumulated over the previous years.

However, the heads of each family were only happy for a short while before they calmed down.

Recalling the Third Hokage's final suggestion, he fell into worry.

The Third Hokage seemed to have realized something during this incident, and finally came up with a statement that surprised everyone.

To avoid similar incidents and unnecessary conflicts in the future, each family can proactively send talented individuals to the Root...

The root is also for Konoha's sake, so there's no need to be too hostile.

Of course, this was just a suggestion, and they were not forced to send their clan ninjas into Root.

But you are all the heads of your families, aren't you all shrewd and capable?

Isn't the meaning of the three generations' words obvious enough?

We will regularly send talent to the root region.

Not delivering?

You dare not deliver it?

According to the Third Hokage's words, then don't blame me for making things difficult for you.

This is something that worries everyone, but how cruel would it be to send the younger generation of the family to the root?

However, it's best to leave this topic aside for now and discuss it later. The conditions for the younger generation to arrive at the root of the family must be agreed upon; first and foremost, their treatment at the root needs to be thoroughly negotiated.

These are problems that have been solved for other clans, but not for the Uchiha clan.

The Third Hokage didn't know how to solve the problem of the Uchiha clan.

We can't really use Danzo as an accomplice, can we?

The Third Hokage declared: As long as I am here, Danzo will be safe!

At this moment, the Third Hokage demonstrated what it truly means to distinguish between close and distant relatives.

However, compensation is still necessary.

The two most important positions in the Anbu are crucial for the Uchiha clan.

Uchiha Kai is indispensable.

Since the Second Hokage, the Uchiha clan has been in charge of the guard force. Although this position is quite stable, the Uchiha clan has been excluded as a result, and no clan ninja has ever entered the Anbu.

Only Uchiha clan leader Uchiha Suke truly understood how important the Anbu slots were to the Uchiha clan.

So, this is the only way to go this time.

At this moment, Uchiha Kai felt only frustration and resentment.

However, with the ancestor Uchiha Madara defecting from Konoha, the Uchiha clan has already become estranged from Konoha. Could they possibly turn against the Hokage completely as well?

The Uchiha clan was already unpopular, and their guard force had offended many people. The villagers of Konoha didn't have a good opinion of the Uchiha. If they were to oppose the Hokage, the Uchiha clan would have no choice but to defect en masse.

Is that even possible?

Ugh!

......

Uchiha Kiyoshi was unaware of what was happening in Konoha.

Since faking his death, he has been constantly changing his whereabouts and has not had time to contact his Konoha clone. He really doesn't know much about the situation in Konoha, nor about the situation on the battlefield. He hasn't been in contact with his clone there, so he doesn't know much either.

Caution is the boat.

It's all worth it to completely escape the sight of all factions!

He swam out of the river again, found a cave, and added a protective barrier to himself.

Concealment Technique

Uchiha Kiyoshi drew sealing seals on his limbs and torso, starting with his legs, then his abdomen, then his arms, and finally setting up switches on his hands.

This is a scaled-down version of a barrier that isolates one's aura.

By inscribing the technique on one's body, one can isolate one's chakra aura and prevent chakra from dissipating once activated.

However, there are still drawbacks, namely that it cannot use ninjutsu.

It's not that it can't be used, but once ninjutsu is used and the chakra is released externally, this concealment technique will no longer be effective.

Well, it's fine to just mobilize chakra without releasing it outwards.

Go underground to remove the barrier, then return to the surface.

"We've been running around for most of the day, that should be enough."

"The Land of Rivers, well, although it has been affected by the war, there are no large battlefields within its borders, so it is relatively stable. Let's find a place to settle down here now."

Having broken away from Konoha, Uchiha Kiyoshi was no longer in a hurry.

There's still plenty of time.

"Also, find a black market. I have quite a few spoils here, and I need to get rid of them quickly."

"Now, during wartime, prices are high, so you can get a good price for your goods."

Uchiha Kiyoshi began to make plans for his future training.

Having left Konoha, I will definitely fall far behind in terms of intelligence without Konoha's support.

And in many situations, intelligence is extremely important.

Even though Uchiha Kiyoshi knew about the major events that would happen in the ninja world, he still needed the support of intelligence.

He only knew about the major events and their details, but he wasn't very clear about when and where they happened.

Therefore, intelligence becomes very important.

Therefore, the first step in the plan is to build our own intelligence system.

And this kind of thing must be done by someone you trust.

It would take at least several years to train someone now, which is definitely too late, so we can only rely on ourselves.

Perfect, Uchiha Kiyoshi doesn't lack this kind of tactic either.

Wouldn't the clone technique be perfect for this?

Of course, it wasn't specifically designed to create clones to gather intelligence.

Instead, they create multiple aliases to gather intelligence while causing trouble.

However, there is one thing that needs to be done first.

That is the transmission of messages.

In the eyes of others, he was already dead...

Hmm... okay, Orochimaru should know he's not dead.

After all, his name was still above the spirit contract!
