From Hokage to Visionary

Should we sacrifice the young and middle-aged men of the Uchiha family, or give up Uchiha Munezuki?

These were the only two choices Danzo gave him.

For a moment, Uchiha Fugaku impulsively thought, why not just rise up and rebel.

But reason pulled him back from the edge of losing control, and he stared at Danzo coldly.

"Ahem, I think what Danzo said makes sense."

At this time, someone from the Hyuga family spoke up. Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, they tried to smooth things over by saying, "It is not realistic to ask the Uchiha clan to stop the Kumo Ninja alone. Why don't we discuss it and find a solution that will satisfy both parties?"

"it is good."

Fugaku took a deep breath, knowing that he couldn't turn hostile, so he took the opportunity to sit down and said, "I, the Uchiha clan, am loyal to Konoha, but I don't want to become a victim of some kind!"

"Haha~"

Danzo smiled, not caring at all about his sarcasm.

The tense atmosphere eased a little.

Danzo raised his eyebrows, his expression somewhat amused: "Then according to the Hyuga family's opinion, what should we do?"

Right now, Konoha is facing multiple enemies and is at war with the four major ninja villages at the same time, so it is impossible to mobilize more forces. "The Hyuga family was silent for a while, and then changed the subject and said, "Why not let the Uchiha clan hold off the Kumo Ninja for the time being, and after quickly resolving one side of the battlefield, we will immediately mobilize people to help, how about it?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Uchiha Fugaku's pupils suddenly shrank and he looked at the Hyuga family in disbelief.

"good idea!"

Without waiting for anyone else to speak, Danzo slammed the table and said, "The Hyuga family's proposal is good. It can reduce the sacrifice of the Uchiha clan and allow us to concentrate more strength!"

"Haha, Chief Fugaku, what do you think of my proposal?" The Hyuga family smiled slightly.

"you."

Uchiha Fugaku only then realized that the two old foxes, Danzo and the Hyuga family, had actually teamed up to set a trap for him!

"Patriarch Fugaku, you are not going to refuse again, are you?"

Danzo narrowed his eyes, revealing a dangerous cold light: "Now is the most dangerous time for Konoha. Every family must sacrifice and pay for Konoha, even the Sarutobi clan is no exception. You are still planning to conserve your strength at this time. Do you have other thoughts?"

In order to give him a taste of his own medicine, Danzo turned the tables and put a big accusation on him.

Now, Uchiha Fugaku was being roasted on the fire, veins bulging on his face, his Sharingan was looming, and he clenched his teeth in hatred, making a creaking sound.

"Clan leader Fugaku, speak up." Danzo pressed on step by step, not giving him time to breathe. He slowly stood up with the help of the table and said in a very authoritative manner: "Didn't you just say that the Uchiha clan is loyal to Konoha? Now, it's your turn to prove it."

Should I choose Uchiha Munezuki or the family?

A multiple-choice question, two answers, and completely different results flashed back and forth in Fugaku's mind.

Yes, he suddenly realized that the reason for this situation was because other families were afraid that another Uchiha "Madara" would appear!

Uchiha Munezuki, who is only sixteen years old, has demonstrated such incredible strength. Who knows how much he will grow in the future?

In the eyes of Danzo, the Hyuga family, the Sarutobi family and others, as long as Uchiha Sotsuki is alive, there is no doubt that he will be able to suppress the entire village in the future. At that time, with the help of the Uchiha clan, it will be easy for him to ascend to the position of Hokage.

Is there anything more terrifying than letting an Uchiha become the Hokage?

Therefore, the current situation has arisen, where almost everyone knows that it is wrong, but still stands on Danzo's side and helps him force the Uchiha clan to make a choice.

Either giving up Uchiha Sogetsu or sacrificing the young and middle-aged forces in the clan, no matter which one is chosen, it will cause great damage to the Uchiha clan.

After a moment of silence, under the oppression of Danzo and his clans, Uchiha Fugaku seemed to have been drained of his strength. He sat down on the chair weakly, holding his head in pain, his eyes bloodshot, and gnashed his teeth and said, "Uchiha Munetsuki... I'll leave it to you to deal with."

Although Uchiha Sogetsu is strong, he dare not gamble with his entire clan. If something goes wrong in the future, the Uchiha clan will be doomed.

It doesn't matter, at least we still have Itachi, this kid's talent is no worse than Sogetsu's!

Uchiha Fugaku comforted himself in his heart that he could not abandon the lives of his entire clan for one person. As long as they were alive, there was still hope!

"Haha~ Congratulations to Patriarch Fugaku for making a wise choice."

Danzo sat down slowly, crossed his legs, lifted his hair with his slender fingers, and smiled charmingly: "Patriarch Fugaku, the Cloud Ninja battlefield is now in your hands. I will send Gen to assist you. You just need to hold on for ten days. Do you think this is okay?"

Uchiha Fugaku nodded painfully. What other choice did he have?

Although the result essentially did not change much, but at least he won the future for Uchiha, and the fresh blood preserved will thrive in the future!

"I'm sorry, Zong Yue."

Fugaku sighed guiltily and apologized silently in his mind.

Everyone~Happy New Year!

Jiandan wishes all the audience to make a lot of money in the new year! Good health! Happy family! All your wishes come true! Those who are single will find a partner, and those who are have a partner will be happy and content! Everything goes well and everything goes smoothly!

Chapter 152 You are quite nice

The country of hot springs, a country famous for its hot springs.

However, its geographical location is awkwardly located between the two major countries of Thunder and Fire.

Looking at the map, the entire country is like a long and narrow corridor, sandwiched between two huge monsters.

Because of this, the last time and the time before that, and even dating back to the Warring States Period, Tang's country had repeatedly become a battlefield when the two countries went to war because of its strategic location.

Now that the Leihuo countries are ready to make a move and the war is about to begin, merchants are almost avoiding the Tang Kingdom.

Even the people of the country who have the ability to migrate are leaving, leaving only a few poor people who cannot afford to migrate and stay in the country to maintain a few scattered hot springs.

Uchiha Munetsuki, wearing a bamboo hat and a black robe, looked at the bleak scene on both sides. At a glance, all the shops on the street were basically closed. He sighed and felt a little bit sorry: "Well, we came at a bad time. We were planning to experience the hot springs in the Land of Hot Springs."

Those Cloud Ninjas and Konoha Anbu who are still in the Land of Lightning, desperately searching for his whereabouts, probably would never have thought of this.

The madman who had just caused a big disturbance in the Cloud Village and beheaded the Third Raikage in public actually came to the Land of Hot Springs and even planned to experience the "hot spring" culture.

You know, Konoha is almost getting anxious and exhausted right now!

Danzo sent out batch after batch of people, hoping to find the 'missing' Uchiha Sogetsu before the Cloud Ninja Village.

The results of it?

The real culprit is not in the Kingdom of Thunder at all, but in the Kingdom of Soup.

Finally, with Uchiha Sogetsu's persistence, he actually found him a "hot spring shop" with a century-old sign.

Probably because of the war, there were basically no customers in the store.

The boss was dressed simply and looked very old, but he was in good spirits. When he saw a customer coming, he greeted him warmly.

Soon, Uchiha Sogetsu experienced the unique hot spring culture of the Land of Hot Springs.

The steaming hot springs are at just the right temperature, the water is clear and rich in minerals, and the air is filled with a faint smell of sulfur.

Immersing himself in it, Uchiha Sogetsu leaned against the side and closed his eyes comfortably: "As expected of a century-old shop, it feels different."

"Lord Munetsuki~"

At this time, a green head gurgled out of the hot spring. Who else could it be but Bai Zetsu?

Uchiha Munetsuki, who was enjoying the hot spring, didn't even bother to raise his eyelids: "What's the matter?"

"Lord Munetsuki, something big has happened in Konoha!" White Zetsu said anxiously, "Sarutobi Hiruzen fainted during a public speech, suspected of being poisoned and unconscious, and appointed Danzo to temporarily take over the duties of Hokage. That guy united several families and put pressure on Uchiha Fugaku at the same time, intending to sell you out to the Kumogaku Village!"

"So, Uchiha Fugaku bowed his head?"

Uchiha Sogetsu didn't seem surprised. He asked slowly without even raising his eyelids.

"You're not angry?"

White Zetsu blinked, not expecting this reaction.

"Why should I be angry?"

Uchiha Sogetsu half-lifted his eyelids, and a hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Isn't this normal? With Uchiha Fugaku's personality, this day will come sooner or later."

"Lord Munetsuki, you didn't already know that Sarutobi Hiruzen would be poisoned and fall into a coma, so you designated Danzo to temporarily serve as Hokage, right?"

Bai Zetsu looked at him suspiciously. He had brought such big news, but Uchiha Sogetsu was not surprised at all. It was very strange no matter how you looked at it.

"you guess?"

Uchiha Sogetsu smiled slightly and did not answer it.

“I don’t really understand, it feels too complicated.”

With White Zetsu's intelligence, he couldn't figure out the connection at all. He scratched his head and said, "But, Master Sogetsu, Danzo and Uchiha Fugaku have reached a consensus to hand you over to the Kumogakure to calm the anger of the Kumogakure. In my opinion, you should just not go back and rebel against the village directly!"

"Why don't you go back?"

Uchiha Sogetsu smiled playfully and said softly: "Not only do I want to go back, but I also want to go back as a savior when Konoha is in the most dangerous time."

"But if this happens, even if the crisis can be resolved, Danzo will not let you go, right?"

In this regard, White Zetsu expressed his confusion, tilted his head and asked: "Besides, with your current strength, why do you have to stay in Konoha Village?"

"Because I still need Konoha Village."

Uchiha Munetsuki leaned on the edge, looking up and enjoying the hot spring: "As for being targeted by Danzo later, isn't that exactly what I want?"

He needed a suitable moment to "take his bow" to end this grand performance, so it was perfect to let Danzo show his last bit of brilliance.

"Do you need me to cause him some trouble? Lord Zong Yue."

White Zetsu's loyalty is unquestionable, and he can perfectly sneak into any place and act as Uchiha Sogetsu's 'eyes'.

"Heh, don't worry about him for now, let Danzo be happy for a while."

Uchiha Munetsuki closed his eyes and said, "Doesn't he like playing with these things? He calls himself the 'root' in the shadows, so let him experience what it feels like to be betrayed by his ideals and be deserted by his friends and relatives~"

"Then I will continue to keep an eye on Danzo, Master Sogetsu."

Seeing this, Bai Jue tactfully dived into the water and disappeared silently.

As time passed, Uchiha Sogetsu, who had a good sleep, felt more energetic. He slowly got up from the hot spring, put on his clothes and walked out.

"Guest, how do you feel?"

The boss came over with a very attentive look on his face, rubbing his hands, and said carefully: "The food has been prepared for you, please follow me."

Looking at the somewhat nervous expression on the boss's face, Uchiha Munetsuki, who was wearing a moon-white kimono, put his hands in his sleeves, thought for a moment, and nodded with a smile: "Okay, let's go and take a look."

I followed the boss to a room and when I opened the door, I saw it was filled with sumptuous food.

Uchiha Sogetsu sat at the table, looking at the food on the table with a smile on his face. The old man next to him was a little nervous, rubbing his hands, and chuckled, "Boss, are you sure you can enjoy such a big table of food for a few thousand taels? It can't be a scam, right?"

"How... How is it possible, guest!"

The boss's face froze, but he quickly forced a smile: "You misunderstood. Isn't there going to be a war soon? We haven't had any customers for a long time. I think you are destined to be together. Anyway, it's just sitting there, so why not take it out to treat you? My store is a century-old shop, how can it be a black shop!"

"Oh~ It's not a black shop. I feel relieved then."

Uchiha Munetsuki suddenly realized something, patted his chest, and let out a long sigh: "I'm so lucky, you're so lucky, thank you for the hospitality, boss~"

After saying that, he really put his mind at ease and ate the meal in front of him with relish.

"Hey, please enjoy your meal slowly~"

The boss bowed flatteringly, then bent over and slowly left the room, closing the door behind him.

The moment the door closed, he slowly raised his head. The restraint and flattery on his face disappeared instantly, and turned into a hint of ferocity and madness, with a scarlet cruel light in his eyes:

"Hehe, idiot, just eat it~ Eat more, hehehe."

Two chapters are posted today~ Have a happy new year everyone~ Xoxo!

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 153 The Evil God Cult doesn’t sound good, let’s change the name!

The boss waited outside the door for nearly half an hour.

He thought it was about time, so he opened the door again and said, "Sir, how is the food here? Are you satisfied?"

There was no response. He raised his head slightly and took a peek.

He found that the food and delicacies had basically not been touched, and Uchiha Sotsuki was leaning over the table with his eyes closed, as if he was asleep. Next to him was a fallen wine bottle, and the wine in it spilled all over the table.

"Huh, I thought you were so powerful, but a ninja is nothing more than this."

The boss breathed a sigh of relief, then straightened up, looked up and down at the sleeping Uchiha Sogetsu, with a hint of sneer on his face.
