Naruto, this is called Kuuga, not White Zetsu

"Anyway, I'm leaving it to you, Lady Tsunade."

Fugaku glanced at his wife and children behind him and bowed deeply: "They are all Uchiha ninjas who love Konoha. I'll leave it to Lady Tsunade."

The clan leader's behavior attracted the attention of many ninjas.

Tsunade glanced at the surrounding ninjas and agreed loudly: "Don't worry, Uchiha clan leader, I will not only treat the Uchiha clan, but all ninja clans and every ninja equally."

Seto Chihiro didn't say anything and stood quietly behind Tsunade.

As for what would happen to the Uchiha clan, he had already known the result in advance, and it had nothing to do with him.

......

The Land of Grass is located in the northeast of Konoha, and it takes about half a day to reach it even at the speed of a ninja.

The Land of Fire is indeed one of the most fertile lands in the Ninja World. There are nothing but big trees along the way. If the environment of the Land of Wind can be improved a little, the Wind Shadow will not be thinking about invading the Land of Fire all day long.

Every jump on the tree gave Seto Chihiro an illusion that she could easily blend into the tree and continue on her way.

At the same time, Seto Chihiro followed Tsunade closely along the way.

Tsunade also explained to Seto Chihiro many travel techniques used by ninjas when traveling, including techniques for concealing whereabouts, anti-tracking, and trap setting. Most of them were explained verbally without any actual practice.

Five hours passed quickly, and Tsunade organized the team to rest for a few minutes before continuing on their journey.

Along the way, several Uchiha children were carried on the journey by their own senior ninjas, which aroused the dissatisfaction of many ninjas.

During the meeting they said they would send out ninjas from the Uchiha clan, but in the end they only sent out a few children and adults, as if they didn't take the war seriously at all. Although the discussions around were very small, the voices of dozens of people added up, which still made Seto Chihiro feel a little noisy.

Tsunade ate the Bingliang pill in her hand and looked at Seto Chihiro who was walking towards her. There was a trace of worry in her eyes: "Chihiro, when the time comes, you will act together with the Uchiha kids."

"Isn't this not good?"

Seto Chihiro sat on a huge rock: "I am not here to be a babysitter for children. I am here to prevent my teacher from dying."

"You protect me?"

Tsunade raised her eyebrows and said jokingly, "Wait until you can beat me in a bet! Then when we fight the Mist Ninja, don't let me down."

"Heh~ Lady Tsunade, it would be bad if you end up holding your own disciple back."

Seto Chihiro pretended to be unconvinced. With his current strength, he only needed to evolve Kuuga's form to a higher level and he would definitely be stronger than Tsunade.

"Chihiro, I remember you seemed to have used chakra to increase your explosive power, right?"

Tsunade stood up, took out two scrolls from her body and threw them at Seto Chihiro.

"This records my two ninjutsu. We need to confront the Hidden Mist Village during this period. You can read it first and try to learn it yourself. If you have any questions, just come to me directly."

Chapter 35 The Hope of the Uchiha Clan

After taking the scroll handed over by Tsunade, Seto Chihiro did not open it immediately to check the ninjutsu on it, but put it into the ninja tool bag behind her.

"Don't you want to see what ninjutsu is written here?" Tsunade was a little curious as she watched the movements of her disciple's hands.

After meeting the little child Chihiro Seto, she vaguely felt that this child was very different from other children.

She has her own sense of justice. Without anyone's guidance, she is willing to go to the Kusagakure Village alone to rescue people who have nothing to do with her. Among the people she knows, except Jiraiya and her grandfather, there is basically no fool willing to do this.

But even his grandfather and Jiraiya, based on their own powerful strength, could not come up with a safe and reliable idea of ​​what to do with the people they rescued if they did this.

However, not only did his own disciples do this, they did not rely on their own strength, but through strategies. They deceived the Jounin of Kusagakure Village, sneaked into Kusagakure Village to rescue people, and finally figured out how to arrange for the rescued hostages.

This is very commendable. In Tsunade's memory, no one can do such a thing at the age of 8.

"Tsuna... um, sir."

"Um?!"

Seeing Tsunade's expression change, Seto Chihiro pointed at the people walking towards Tsunade and said, "It seems someone is looking for you. I think I may need to change my location to check the scroll now."

He can now participate in this operation with Tsunade, on the one hand because Tsunade is his teacher, although it has not been announced yet, and on the other hand because Konoha is currently lacking high-level combat power, so it would be a waste to have free labor.

Tsunade had previously stopped herself from going to the border of the Land of Fire and had not mentioned that she was her student in order to protect herself.

But even so, Seto Chihiro is still an outsider ninja to Konoha and has no ability to eavesdrop on the conversations between Tsunade and the captains.

"No, there is no need. We are not discussing any battle plan right now. You can sit here."

Yamanaka Inoichi, Akimichi Choza, Nara Shikaku, Kakashi, and Uchiha Mikoto of the Uchiha clan walked towards this side slowly.

Nara Shikaku sat casually not far from Tsunade: "Lady Tsunade, is this the child you said could defeat Kakashi?"

"With his current strength, he is still far from defeating Kakashi." Tsunade waved her hand and said mercilessly: "Kakashi didn't even use his Sharingan at the time. At most, he took advantage of the lack of intelligence among the ninjas and Kakashi was careless. This brat was just slightly better."

Seto Chihiro scratched her head in embarrassment. Kakashi didn't use the Sharingan, but didn't he use Kuuga's transformation either?

And in order to hide his weakness, he deliberately kicked off target, otherwise Kakashi might still be lying in the hospital.

Moreover, he didn't think that Kakashi was careless at the time. If he hadn't reacted quickly enough, Kakashi might have really cut a wound on his body.

......

In the ninja world, every major country would send ninjas from its own ninja village to garrison its borders.

They would not interfere too much with the caravans coming and going, but would instead protect the merchants who came and conduct business dealings with their own economy.

However, it is mainly for the convenience of gathering intelligence from other countries and preventing invasion from other countries.

At noon, Tsunade's ninja brigade finally arrived at the border between the Land of Grass and the Land of Fire. The entire border was shrouded in a tense atmosphere.

Ever since Yamashiro Aoba escaped from the Land of Grass last night and told what happened inside, the border commander immediately increased the number of border patrols.

From last night till now, the branch ninjas of the Hyuga clan have been using their Byakugan non-stop to detect any movement of the Mist Ninjas in the Land of Grass, and to prevent their attacks at all times.

With the arrival of reinforcements, the Hyuga clan on the border can also have a short rest.

In Konoha, there are many bloodline limits, and the one that can often be compared with the Uchiha clan's Sharingan is the Hyuga clan's Byakugan.

The Hyuga clan is an ancient and prestigious family in Konoha, or more accurately, the main family of the Hyuga clan has a high status in Konoha. They are responsible for inheriting, protecting and promoting the Hyuga clan, and for dominating and enslaving the branches of the Hyuga clan.

The Hyuga clan's Byakugan has extraordinary insight. Unlike the Uchiha clan's Sharingan Bloodline Limit, the Hyuga clan's Byakugan can be awakened very easily.

After awakening, the Byakugan has a 360° field of view, and is a perspective eye that can see through things.

After Tsunade and the leaders of the Ino, Deer, and Chou clans arrived at the border, they needed to hold a meeting to discuss the issues of the Hidden Mist Village in the Land of Grass.

The ninjas brought by each family also took the initiative to take over the border ninja patrols. Because the Uchiha clan was too small in number, there were only two senior ninjas, and Mikoto was one of them. At the same time, they were hostile to the surrounding Konoha ninjas.

In order to facilitate management and to prevent the Uchiha clan from cooperating better, Tsunade did not put the Uchiha clan into the patrol team. Instead, they were assigned to the logistics team.

"Hello Captain Mikoto, my name is Seto Chihiro, please take care of me from now on."

When she first met Uchiha Mikoto, Seto Chihiro introduced herself.

The other party was not wearing the standard Uchiha attire, but a green vest exclusive to jonin. The hair on both sides fell freely, giving people a mature and virtuous feeling. There was a little nervousness in the gentle tone:

"Hello, my name is Uchiha Mikoto, and I am the clan leader of the Uchiha team. I will take good care of you in the next period of time."

"Then I'll trouble you, Captain Mikoto."

After a conversation, Seto Chihiro sat quietly in her seat.

Before war breaks out between major powers, the logistics department does not have many tasks to do. They only have to sort out supplies, which can be said to be a very leisurely life.

Chihiro can also take this opportunity to carefully observe these people who are called the "last hope" of the Uchiha clan by Uchiha Fugaku.

According to his perception, there were only 11 people including Uchiha Mikoto and Sasuke.

Including Mikoto, there was a jonin whose name he couldn't remember, the rest were 6 chuunins, and three children who were not even genin.

Perhaps in order for Fugaku to revive the Uchiha clan faster, there are more women in this team, a total of 7 people.

Chapter 36: The Uchiha Clan Full of Love and Hope

In the evening...Border logistics...

"mom!"

Uchiha Sasuke hugged Mikoto's arm and puffed his lips: "Why don't my brother and father need to participate in this mission?"

"You'll be able to see them when we return to Konoha in a few days." Uchiha Mikoto picked up Sasuke lovingly, her smile a little forced.

"Sasuke, don't disturb Lady Mikoto from working. Come~ have some candy~"

Uchiha Izumi Mikoto passed by, peeled Sasuke off Mikoto's body, stuffed the candy in her hand into his mouth, and looked at the other three little ones, "This is for Meihui and Huimei. Your name is Chihiro, right? Here~ I'll give you two."

"I'd like to trouble you to play with Sasuke during this time~"

"Thank you, Sister Quan." X2

"Thank you."

Seto Chihiro accepted it calmly again. The white candy in her hand was a symbol of Izumi's "bribe" to take care of Sasuke. He has gradually become familiar with life in this Uchiha team.

Apart from Uchiha Sasuke who kept clamoring to see his brother around Mikoto, he was "playing" with the two Uchiha children.

Since she had just arrived in Konoha, Tsunade did not announce on the way that Chihiro was her apprentice, so the Uchiha clan only regarded him as a powerful Chunin.

During this period, he did not suffer any discrimination from these Uchiha people. Instead, he was taken care of by them, who asked him if he needed water, if he was hungry, etc.

Even these Uchiha people took the initiative to take on the workload of several children including Seto Chihiro.

Tsunade and other clan leaders knew about the situation of the Uchiha clan.

Unfortunately, once you go to the front line, you have to accept front-line work. Even children of a few years old are scheduled to work night shifts by the staff.

The actions of the Uchiha clan greatly changed Seto Chihiro's impression of the Uchiha clan. They were not as strong as in the "Road of Ninja" chapter, nor did they show any arrogance towards civilian ninjas.

To sum it up with Uchiha Madara’s words: [These Uchiha clan members are full of kindness and love for others from the bottom of their hearts].

In a sense, this is indeed the Uchiha clan's last "hope".

After all, this is the last member of Fugaku's clan that he found in his own clan, and he does not exclude Konoha...

Thinking about the original plot, Seto Chihiro felt a little headache.

Because of this butterfly, the current situation of the entire ninja world can be said to be a mess. The Mist Ninja traveled thousands of miles to go to war with Konoha, and the outcome of Uchiha Itachi's massacre of the Uchiha clan may also change.

With the unique blood of the Uchiha clan, he doesn't mind providing assistance to the Uchiha in the logistics department without affecting his own base.

That might sound a bit too smug... arrogant...

However, these problems will be improved after the war between the Mist Ninja and the Konoha Ninja...

"Chihiro, don't you like candy? If you don't, I'll eat it."

"???"

Just as Seto Chihiro was thinking, a little girl's voice rang out, and then he felt the candy in his hand quickly disappear. Then he realized that two little girls had sat on his left and right while he was thinking.

"Foolish Meihui, that was the food that Lord Quan left for this commoner, how could you eat it?"

Seto Chihiro looked at the candy in his hand and was stunned. Although he was at the front line, he felt the same as the orphanage in his previous life. At that time, people often took the candy from him, but there were also people who gave him their candy...

"Sister, look, you snatched the candy from Chihiro's hand, and this civilian is already completely angry and doesn't say anything..."

"Meihui, what should I do? I took the candy from him because he didn't react..."

"Maybe if you give him your candy, he won't be angry anymore..."

"Really? I..."

"Wait, don't vomit!"

Seeing that the little girl was really going to spit out the candy in her mouth and put it in her hand, Seto Chihiro stopped Emi from doing so and complained to the two of them:

"I'm not angry. My expression hasn't changed since the beginning. How can you tell that I'm angry? And don't believe everything your sister says."

Of course, in reality, Chihiro Seto was observing these people carefully in secret.

He observed very carefully, not only memorizing these people's chakras, but also their appearances and personalities.

Huimei and Meihui are the two children without chakra besides Sasuke.

"Meihui, you lied to me again."

"A little bit~"

Seeing the little girl playing around, Chihiro did not stop her, as he was used to it.
