Konoha: Uchiha, I can become stronger by causing trouble

Sarutobi Hiruzen rubbed his brows tiredly and sighed:

"This is troublesome. Even if the Sand Ninjas are defeated in one battle, they will not surrender so quickly, and troops cannot be withdrawn. In this way, we will have no way to deal with the Water Country's troops..."

Hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's embarrassed tone, Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En looked at each other, and then looked at the silent Shimura Danzo.

Seeing that the two advisors understood what he meant, Sarutobi Hiruzen then said to Shimura Danzo: "Danzo, in the face of this crisis, should your Root send some people to support the Water Kingdom?"

When Danzo heard this, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes. He understood that this was the suspicion of Sarutobi Hiruzen caused by his previous words.

So Sarutobi Hiruzen weakened his strength in this way.

"I will pull some people from the roots to the border of the Water Kingdom!"

Danzo replied expressionlessly: "But my manpower is always limited, so I should draw some more manpower from other large clans."

Utatane Koharu and Mitokado En nodded after hearing this, "Indeed, you alone cannot resist the Land of Water."

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought for a moment and said, "Well, I will discuss with the leaders of the Inuzuka clan and the Hyuga clan and ask them to transfer some more ninjas."

These two tribes can restrain the Mist Hidden Ninja Technique, which is what the Mist Hidden Ninja is best at, so they have always been the backbone of the force against the Mist Hidden Ninja.

After hearing what Sarutobi Hiruzen said, Danzo immediately rejected it and said, "Most of the people in these two families have already participated in the other two fronts. If we ask them for more people, they will inevitably feel resentful."

Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his eyebrows when he heard this. This was something that he, as the Hokage, would say.

I always feel that Danzo Shimura is about to start causing trouble!

Sarutobi Hiruzen was very familiar with his old comrade-in-arms, and he was definitely not someone who would care whether other families would harbor resentment.

Following Shimura Danzo's meaning, Sarutobi Hiruzen asked, "Danzo, what do you mean?"

Shimura Danzo was calm and composed, not even looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen, and said calmly: "Most of the Uchiha clan are still in the village as guards, so let's use these people!"

When Sarutobi Hiruzen heard this, his pupils suddenly shrank and he looked at Danzo coldly.

In the case of Konoha's lack of military forces, it is normal to draw ninjas from various families in Konoha Village.

When faced with major issues, all ethnic groups can distinguish between priorities.

But at this moment, it is not reasonable at all to let the Uchiha clan, who are good at fire-style ninjutsu, fight against the Mist Village ninjas who are proficient in water-style ninjutsu.

Sarutobi Hiruzen had always known that Danzo Shimura had some grudges against the Uchiha clan, but he never expected that it had escalated to the point where he would resort to such means to weaken the Uchiha clan.

"Why? Sarutobi, you won't disagree, will you?"

Seeing that Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't reply for a long time, Shimura Danzo continued: "There are not many people from the Uchiha clan on the other two fronts."

"Yes, each clan has already lost a lot of ninjas, so the Uchiha clan can only replace them first. When the Sand Ninja surrenders, the ninjas on the Sand Ninja front will replace the Uchiha clan."

As smart people, Mitokado En and Utane Koharu certainly understood the reason, but their attitude was the same as Danzo's. They did not want the Uchiha clan to increase its strength.

Seeing that both advisors supported Shimura Danzo's idea, Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned.

"I need to think about this!"

"Then do it as soon as possible. The Water Country doesn't have much time to delay!"

Danzo Shimura also knew that he couldn't push too hard, so he just said this and didn't mention the matter again.

The four of them discussed other matters, and then Danzo Shimura and the other two left the Hokage's office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sat in his seat, smoking his pipe.

That night, after returning from Kushina, Chiga fell asleep at home. However, not long after he fell asleep, several Uchiha clan members came to his house and woke him up.

It was said that the family would hold a clan meeting that night, and all Uchiha clan ninjas in the village had to attend.

This made Qian He so angry that he almost beat up several people.

Arriving at the clan meeting, Qian He glanced around in surprise, and found that no one was teasing him. He immediately realized that there seemed to be something important to be discussed at this clan meeting.

He found a place to sit down and waited for his tribesmen to arrive.

Soon, everyone arrived, and Uchiha Fugaku said in a deep voice: "I just came back from the Third Hokage. Because the war is intense, the village needs our Uchiha clan to dispatch 100 ninjas to the eastern part of the Land of Fire to resist the Hidden Mist Village in the Land of Water!"

"What? The Water Country is also going to invade?" The Uchiha clan members were shocked when they heard this.

Uchiha Fugaku shook his head and said, "Not yet, but according to the intelligence, it seems that the Water Country has this plan."

"Okay, but why our Uchiha clan?"

"The ninjas of the Land of Water are very good at water escape techniques, which can easily restrain our clan!"

"Indeed, and the Sharingan will also be affected by the Mist Hidden Technique!"

"Patriarch Fugaku, isn't this a bit unreasonable?"

"Can't we go to other fronts? The Land of Earth or the Land of Wind will do!"

"Yeah, even if it's the Land of Lightning, those guys who only think about muscle are the easiest to fall into illusions!"

Chapter 184 Qianhe's Counterattack

The Uchiha clan's ninjas had no objection or complaints about going to the front line to resist the invasion of ninjas from other major powers, but they questioned the irrationality of this decision.

In response to the clan members' discussion, Uchiha Fugaku just closed his eyes, folded his arms across his chest, and said nothing, as if he wanted the clan members to finish their discussion before speaking.

As Uchiha Fugaku remained silent, the clan members gradually stopped talking and waited for Uchiha Fugaku's explanation.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Uchiha Fugaku finally opened his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, I know that our clan is not good at fighting against the Mist Ninja, but this is the first time since World War II that a large number of our clan members will go to the front line."

"As long as our clan performs well in resisting the Water Country, our clan's prestige in the village will be further enhanced."

"This is our clan's chance to enter the upper echelons of the village!"

"By the way, the Third Hokage is already very old, and it will only be a few years before he steps down and takes over."

"Maybe the next Hokage position is not impossible!"

At this point, a gleam of light flashed in Uchiha Fugaku's eyes. He will personally lead the Uchiha clan into battle this time.

According to Uchiha Fugaku's original plan, the Uchiha clan's bet was on Minato.

When Minato becomes a high-ranking official or Hokage of Konoha, he will be able to gain the right to speak in Konoha Village for the Uchiha clan by relying on his relationship with them.

But first the Wind Country invaded, then the Earth Country joined, and now even the Water Country, which did not participate in the Second Ninja World War, is about to be eliminated.

It looks like this war will affect the entire ninja world.

In this situation, Uchiha Fugaku saw an opportunity, an opportunity for himself to enter the upper echelons of Konoha.

They, the Uchiha clan, indeed lack opportunities to achieve success.

As long as the Uchiha clan makes enough contributions, they will definitely be able to enter the upper echelons of Konoha.

This was also the promise that Sarutobi Hiruzen made to him personally.

Uchiha Fugaku was obviously tempted by Sarutobi Hiruzen's promise. He did not even think of rejecting Sarutobi Hiruzen's proposal and agreed to it immediately.

Although the Mist Ninja of the Water Country restrained the Uchiha clan.

But they are the Uchiha clan, the top blood-stained family in the ninja world. Would they be afraid of such restraint?

And in the big pie drawn by Uchiha Fugaku, the members of the Uchiha clan also became arrogant!

"Hehe, this is a good opportunity! For the Uchiha clan, I'll go!"

"Chief Fugaku, I'll go with you too!"

"Hmph, it's just the Mist Hidden Jutsu. I haven't even awakened my Sharingan yet. This jutsu is useless to me! I'm going too!"

"+1!"

All the members of the Uchiha clan showed excitement on their faces.

Even the hawkish representative Uchiha did not oppose Uchiha Fugaku's decision.

Only Qian He frowned.

I always feel that this matter is not that simple.

Later on, the clan meeting turned into a mobilization meeting. Since Chiga had to go to the front line in the Land of Wind, there was no need for Uchiha Fugaku to bring Chiga along.

Qian He was no longer sleepy at this moment, and while it was still early, he came to the woods outside the roots.

As to whether there is any conspiracy behind sending the Uchiha clan members to the battlefield, just ask the Root ninjas.

The only person in this village who could find ways to target the Uchiha clan is Danzo Shimura.

Sarutobi Hiruzen has no such intention, and the other two advisors will do so through Shimura Danzo if they want to target him.

After scanning the surroundings with the Sharingan and seeing that there was no one around, Qianhe entered the Sage Mode, formed a hand seal, and then shouted in a low voice: "Sage Technique·Sealing Technique·Liang Yi Seal, Release!"

In the Root base, a Root ninja's brain suddenly twitched, and then two magatama flashed in his eyes. His eyes immediately became dull, and he walked towards Chiga.

After a while, the two met.

"Master Chiga!"

When he saw Chiga, the Root ninja raised his head, and it was Ryoma Aburame who was beside Danzo.

Chiga had already perfected his illusion technique to control the Root Ninja. Normally, it was sealed with the sealing technique blessed by the fairy law, and it was no different from an ordinary Root.

Once the seal is broken, the illusion will take effect and the person will become directly controlled by Qianhe.

Chiga asked directly, "Was it Shimura Danzo's idea to send the Uchiha clan to the Water Country battlefield?"

Aburame Ryoma replied, "Yes!"

Chiga raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and then asked, "What is Shimura Danzo's purpose?"

"Shimura Danzo wants to weaken the Uchiha clan while obtaining the Sharingan!"

From Aburame Ryoma's narration, Chiga's expression gradually became ugly.

Although Chiga guessed Danzo Shimura's purpose when she heard that it was Danzo Shimura who proposed to send the Uchiha clan to the front line, she still felt a nameless anger rise in her heart after hearing it with her own ears.

I'm fighting hard on the front line, and you're still greedy for my blood?

Isn't that too disrespectful to me?!

"Hard enough!"

Qianhe snorted coldly. In this case, Qianhe would never let the Uchiha clan go to the front line of the Hidden Mist Village.

This matter is not suitable to be discussed with Uchiha Fugaku. This guy obviously has his own plans and is unlikely to listen to his advice.

And without evidence, I won't believe it.

Of course, Chiga can also take Aburame Ryoma to talk to Uchiha Fugaku about this matter at this time.

But Chiga didn't want to expose the fact that she used illusions to control the Root ninjas.

Thinking of this, Qianhe pondered for a while and decided to think carefully about how to stop the Uchiha clan from going to the front line.

It seems that Danzo Shimura found a ninja from the Uchiha clan because his own troops were insufficient in number.

Then it seems that the matter can be easily solved.

Are there not enough ninjas at the root?

Haha. As someone who controls more than a dozen Root ninjas, Chiga still has a say.

The number of Root ninjas has reached about a thousand ninjas, which is more than enough to destroy a small ninja village.

With so many people exposed in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen, will Sarutobi Hiruzen be afraid?

Qianhe knew what to do next.

Since the reason for summoning ninjas from other clans is that there are not enough ninjas in the Root, Chiga will have to see if Sarutobi Hiruzen will let the Uchiha clan go to the Water Country front again when he sees how many ninjas there are in the Root.

After giving a few more instructions to Aburame Ryoma, he summoned Crow Feather and asked him to go find Kushina.

In order to lure Sarutobi Hiruzen to inspect the Root base for no reason, a suitable excuse is needed.

Teacher Kushina is very good.

Fortunately, it was not too late at this time. Kushina was still awake. After seeing Crow Feather, she knew that Chiga would come.

After closing the door of her room, Kushina injected a little chakra into Crow Feather's body.

Chiga, who sensed something from a distance, instantly came in front of Kushina.

Kushina looked at Chiga in confusion and asked, "What's wrong? You come to my place so late at night and you need to use such a method to avoid being discovered by the Anbu."

"Teacher Kushina, I need your help today!"
