From Hokage to Visionary

Damn it! Uchiha Sotsuki’s face was full of resentment. When he was about to go back to catch up on his sleep, he was blocked by someone.

"Owl, the Hokage wants you to go to his office." The person who stopped him was the Hokage's personal guard, the Anbu 'Elephant', and his tone was still cold.

"Yes, I'll go right away." Uchiha Sotsuki had a blank expression on his face, just like a worker going to work early.

At this moment, his resentment soared to the sky.

The elephant on the opposite side shuddered inexplicably and looked at him strangely: "Forget it, remember to take it with you."

As he spoke, he handed over a mask.

On the white mask, an animal portrait of an owl is drawn with black ink.

Does the mask mean that he has to carry out a mission as an Anbu?

Uchiha Sogetsu took the mask, put it on his face, and walked away without saying a word.

Hokage building, office.

Boom boom boom!

After a brief knock on the door, Uchiha Sogetsu pushed the door open and walked in: "Hokage-sama, I am Owl."

"Well, you're just in time, Xiao." The Third Hokage was sitting behind the table smoking a cigarette with a thick pile of documents at hand. When he saw him come in, he rubbed his brow and said, "I've heard about what happened last night from Fugaku. Can you tell me how you found him?"

Sure enough, it was related to Black Zetsu. Uchiha Sogetsu understood and said, "Hokage, it's the Sharingan. Maybe it's because I'm good at illusions, so I'm very sensitive to chakra."

"Sharingan."

The Third Hokage was lost in thought, his fingers tapping lightly on the table.

There was something weird about this matter from the inside out, which made him wonder who was the mastermind behind it.

Especially at this very sensitive and critical time point.

The election for the position of Hokage has caused these people to jump out one after another, and even Danzo is almost unable to hold back.

"Why did they show up at this time?" The Third Hokage had a terrible headache. He gently pressed his aching temple and took out two reports from the drawer. "This is the report from Jiraiya and Orochimaru this morning. Take a look and tell me what you think."

In fact, he knew the result without reading the report.

Although Orochimaru failed to stop Black Zetsu, he used sealing techniques to directly take away half of Black Zetsu's cells, intending to conduct secret research on them.

To be honest, he was not surprised by this result.

After all, he is the filial son Black Zetsu. No matter what, he was passed down from Kaguya-hime, so he does have some ability.

However, in front of the Third Hokage, he still needs to pretend.

The contents of the reports were basically the same, the only difference being that Orochimaru concealed the fact that he had stolen Black Zetsu's cells, as well as Black Zetsu's identity and origins.

After closing the report, Uchiha Munetsuki pretended to think for a moment, then said: "Hokage, I suspect that they are spies sent from other villages. Their purpose is to seize the Uchiha clan's bloodline limit and stir up internal conflicts in Konoha, and then start a war when we are the weakest!"

His speculation was based on future plot developments, combined with the chaotic political situation within Konoha.

As for exposing Black Zetsu's identity?

This is something only a fool would do. Exposing that guy's identity in advance will only make him lose the plot advantage.

Even worse, considering the worse situation, who knows whether the Six Paths Sage, who has been hiding in the Pure Land, will intervene in order to maintain the plot?

As a qualified audience, you can "guide" the plot appropriately, but you must never tear up the script.

"Pah~ What you said makes sense."

After hearing this speculation, the Third Hokage showed an approving look, then flicked away the ash, blew a smoke ring, and said: "However, I am worried about another thing."

"Another thing?" Uchiha Sogetsu was stunned.

"Yes, that's why I asked you to come."

The Third Hokage reached into the drawer, pulled out an ancient scroll and handed it to him.

This scroll is quite old, with dust on the surface and signs of damage, obviously it has not been well preserved.

"Warring States. Sealing History Scroll?" Uchiha Munetsuki stared at the words on it, and was even more confused for a moment: "Hokage-sama, what is this?"

"This scroll records the dangerous people who were sealed by the major clans of Konoha during the Warring States Period." The Third Hokage put his pipe aside, crossed his hands, frowned, and showed a worried look on his face: "Originally, I almost forgot about this matter, but the person who appeared last night made me suddenly think of it."

"You mean, that person is very likely a dangerous figure who was sealed during the Warring States period?" Uchiha Sogetsu looked surprised.

Unexpectedly, after tricking Black Zetsu, he actually made some new discoveries.

The Scroll of the History of Sealed Warring States Period, this thing never appeared in the original novel, let alone the dangerous people who were sealed.

"From the reports of Jiraiya and Orochimaru, it is very likely." The Third Hokage said solemnly: "A person who is good at using Yin-attribute ninjutsu is rare in the ninja world today. Although it is possible that he is a spy from another ninja village, I suspect that he may also be a dangerous person sealed by our ancestors."

"what do you mean?"

Uchiha Munetsuki roughly guessed the task that the Third Hokage intended to assign to him: "Are you asking me to follow the locations on the scroll and explore whether these seals are still there?"

"Yes, only you can complete this task." The Third Hokage showed an approving look again and said, "Although the Warring States period is a long time ago, those who were sealed may have died long ago, but we still have to investigate to be at ease."

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

Uchiha Munetsuki gladly accepted the task: "I will follow the locations marked in the scroll and investigate the seal situation one by one."

"The level of this mission is S-level."

The Third Hokage picked up the pipe again, put it in his mouth and took a deep breath, the smoke was round: "So, I also sent someone to assist you, waiting for you at the gate of Konoha."

"Okay, Lord Hokage, I'll be ready to leave and meet up with him now." Uchiha Sotsuki put away the scroll that recorded the seal location, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

It sounds nice, is it assistance, or is it surveillance?

However, it is actually normal if you think about it. Given Sarutobi Hiruzen's personality, how could he only send one person from the Uchiha family to carry out such an important mission?

Politics is an art, but it's a pity that Sarutobi Hiruzen only learned the basics.

Uchiha Sogetsu left the office, holding the scroll in his hand, with a smile on his lips: "The history of the Warring States Sealing. Interesting, let me think about how to use it?"

Dear readers, please vote more and keep up the reading rate. It's too difficult to read a new book. I lack everything, especially monthly tickets, and I can only update twice a day. I will make up for it after the book is put on the shelves~

Chapter 18 You Regret My Shadow

Shortly after Uchiha Sogetsu left, another person stepped into the Hokage's office.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

The wooden stick hit the ground, making a dull sound.

The Third Hokage who heard the voice did not even raise his head, and continued to deal with the piles of documents. He seemed to have known the identity of the visitor for a long time, and his tone was a little impatient: "Danzo, what are you doing here? If it's about Uchiha, I should have already answered you."

"Hiruzen, you are too careless."

The person who came was Danzo, with a gloomy expression and a hoarse and low voice: "What happened at the Uchiha station last night is definitely not that simple!"

The pen on the document paused, and the Third Hokage slowly raised his head, his eyes filled with indifference: "So?"

"Leave that Uchiha brat to me!" Danzo said with a cold face and a stern tone, "I promise that I will pry everything out of his mouth!"

"No."

The Third Hokage snorted angrily and rejected his proposal directly: "You are trying to stir up civil strife in Konoha. I will never allow you to do this, Danzo!"

"Huruzen, you are too naive!" Danzo growled angrily, "The Uchiha are an unstable bomb. The teacher thought so at the beginning. It is because of your weakness that they have become more and more arrogant. The illusion of that Uchiha brat must be hiding some secrets!"

"I'll say this one last time, Danzo!"

The atmosphere became tense, and the Third Hokage simply tore off his guard, no longer caring about friendship: "You are not allowed to interfere in this matter. I have my own arrangements for Uchiha Sogetsu!"

Danzo gnashed his teeth, but in the end he was helpless and could only say hatefully: "You will regret this, Hiruzen!"

"Danzo, I am the Hokage!"

The Third Hokage choked back coldly.

"Huh, okay!"

Danzo was choked and speechless. He could only swallow his anger and slam the door and leave.

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Uchiha Sogetsu arrived at the gate of Konoha, but after looking around for a long time, he didn't see the person the Hokage mentioned.

"Could he have forgotten?" He scratched his head in confusion, but felt that it was impossible. Who in Konoha Village dared to ignore the order of the Hokage?

As he was thinking about it, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a beautiful scenery.

"Hey, little devil!"

Uchiha Sogetsu's head was suddenly held down by someone and directly stuffed into the soft waves.

Although it was soft to the touch, accompanied by a refreshing fragrance, the mature temptation made his heart beat.

But... I'm suffocating.

Uchiha Sogetsu struggled to escape from the 'waves', breathing in big gulps of fresh air: "That was a close call, I almost suffocated to death!"

"Hahaha, little boy, you are so cute." A familiar female voice with a hint of coquettishness.

"Tsunade-sama, please pay attention to the impact. Don't do this next time, okay?" Uchiha Sogetsu looked indifferent and took a half step back to avoid being 'suffocated' again. He added: "Also, you shouldn't call me by my name. My current identity is an Anbu. You should call me by my code name."

Although the identities of the ANBU were kept highly secret, they were limited to ordinary ninja.

It's not surprising that direct descendants of the Hokage, such as the Sannin, knew of his status as an ANBU.

"Sorry, sorry, I'm used to it." Tsunade patted her chest generously, and then trembled again: "I will pay attention next time."

Although she is a woman, her generosity is no less than that of a man. It can only be said that she is worthy of being the King of Books. Uchiha Sogetsu secretly admired her and changed the subject: "Tsunade-sama, you should be in Konoha Hospital at this time. What is the matter with you coming here?"

"Well, guess?"

Tsunade's beautiful eyes moved slightly, and her slender, jade-white fingers lightly touched her red lips. She half tilted her head and laughed.

Great! Even Uchiha Sotsuki, who is a spectator, has to admit that a woman who exudes mature charm, has a plump figure and is especially beautiful, doing such actions is really very tempting and full of hormones.

appease!

Slaying the restless thoughts that were aroused, Uchiha Munetsuki said expressionlessly: "Lady Tsunade, I am on a mission."

"Tsk, what a boring brat." Tsunade curled her lips and rolled her eyes: "Forget it, I won't tease you anymore. The old man asked me to come here. Do you understand now?"

"."

Uchiha Sogetsu had never been so speechless.

Was Sarutobi Hiruzen's brain blocked by the golden cudgel, so he actually sent Tsunade to assist him in his mission?

Is this assistance, or is it asking him to help take care of the "child"?

When he thought about Tsunade, who was even less reliable than Jiraiya and had hemophobia, he already felt a headache.

"What? You have an opinion!"

Seeing that the boy remained silent for a long time, Tsunade suddenly became angry and punched him on the head: "I am a Sannin! Do you know how important the Sannin is? I, Tsunade-sama, one of the Sannin, am willing to assist you in your mission. You should feel honored, kid!"

The punch was very light, and Uchiha Sogetsu twitched his mouth: "It is such an honor to go on a mission with you, Master Tsunade."

"Hehe, that's pretty good." Tsunade crossed her arms across her chest in satisfaction, as if she didn't hear the words the other party had deliberately emphasized.

Uchiha Sogetsu didn't say anything. He was feeling a little melancholy now.

If it were someone else, they could still find a way to get rid of them on the way, but Tsunade couldn't do that. If she was left alone and encountered a hostile ninja, she would be at the mercy of others due to her hemophobia.

Not only does he have to complete the mission, but he also has to distract himself to protect Tsunade. Isn't this at least SS level difficult?

"Don't think that the old man asked you to take care of me." After playing around, Tsunade returned to normal, guessed his thoughts, and said meaningfully: "The dangerous people recorded in that scroll are basically sealed by the Uchiha and Senju clans."

"There is one more thing the old man didn't tell you."

After that, she paused deliberately, waiting for the boy to show a hint of curiosity, and then continued with satisfaction: "There are a small number of people in the seal, that is, the Uchiha and Senju clans."

"The sealed Uchiha and Senju?"

This news really shocked Uchiha Sogetsu. This scroll actually contained such a big secret.

"So, do you understand now? Uchiha brat."

Tsunade chuckled, stretched out her hand and flicked the boy's forehead, pursed her sexy red lips and said: "There is also good news. Thanks to your treatment, my illness has improved a lot."

Oh?

This is a pleasant surprise. Uchiha Sogetsu looked surprised.
