Naruto, this is called Kuuga, not White Zetsu

Otherwise, there is a high possibility that the business will collapse halfway through.

After a while, Seto Chihiro told Uchiha Izumi about the note, left her dream and returned to the Senju clan.

I checked the system before going to bed. The task [Attack on Princess Senju] has not been completed yet. I have obtained the points for the second stage of Orochimaru, but the third stage task has not yet started.

Ok?

Seto Chihiro's attention was entirely focused on the task of 'the orphan of the Uchiha clan'.

This mission was triggered a month ago. The mission goal at that time was simply to keep the Uchiha clan alive, and the second stage of the mission was completed automatically without even being seen.

I don't know when the third stage of this mission was triggered.

[The Orphan of the Uchiha Clan·Revised: Thanks to your unremitting efforts, the Uchiha Clan has finally embarked on a new path. But what about the road ahead, which is a paradise that is within reach, or a bottomless cliff?

Mission objective: Let the Uchiha clan break free from the existing shackles.

Task Reward: Unknown reward, issued according to the number of times (number of submissions possible: 3)]

Seto Chihiro was somewhat confused about this mission.

Break the existing shackles? What exactly are these shackles?

This mission does not clearly state the conditions for completing it like previous missions.

It simply gives a mysterious mission introduction and a mysterious mission objective, and even the rewards are mysterious rewards. There is no explanation of the points, nor whether it is ninjutsu or props.

And the word shackles...is there something binding the Uchiha clan?

A light bulb went off in Seto Chihiro's mind, and she suddenly felt as if her doubts had been solved.

If there is something that has bound the Uchiha clan since its birth, it is only the true ancestor of the Uchiha clan - Indra. Even though the Uchiha clan has been given a series of titles such as the Mind's Eye, these were all given to the Uchiha clan by the ninja world.

But only Indra's chakra continued in the Uchiha bloodline from beginning to end.

It sounds unbelievable, but in a sense, it was indeed Indra's soul that bound the Uchiha clan.

The further Seto Chihiro looked down, the more this guess seemed to make sense.

But this is normal. The history of Uchiha and Senju is originally the history of Ashura and Indra. They are the biological sons of the Six Paths Sage, so it is normal for them to have some privileges.

But it is precisely because of this privilege that all the Uchiha and Senju clans are more like tools for the reincarnation of Ashura and Indra.

Chapter 82 Seto Chihiro and the Snail

"A bloodline limit ninja who seems to be able to use Wood Release appeared in Konoha?"

In the Hidden Cloud Village, the Fourth Raikage Ai, wrapped in bandages, was looking at five pieces of information on the table.

These pieces of information are the latest information that the spies of the Hidden Cloud Village have desperately collected from Konoha and the Hidden Mist Village.

Four of them are about the fifth Hokage taking office, Orochimaru's attack on Konoha, the third Hokage's resignation, and the identity of the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai. The last one is about the personal information of the fifth Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village, Mei Terumi.

Ai's face looked unhappy. This Wood Release Ninja reminded him of someone, or to be more precise, a child.

"Do you have any photos or portraits of this Wood Release Bloody Ninja?"

A woman in a green robe with gray hair shook her head and said, "Tsunade protected this Wood Release Bloodline Genkai ninja very well, and he didn't appear many times. Basically, we know that his name is Seto Chihiro, and he is a member of the Anbu in Konoha. His code name is probably Tenzou."

"Seto Chihiro? Konoha's ANBU? Tenzou?"

The Raikage's expression looked slightly better, as long as he didn't call Senju Taichi.

In such a large ninja world, it is not uncommon to see ninjas with Wood Release skills, but if they appear in a hostile ninja village and you miss the chance to kill them, that would be a pity.

"Lord Raikage, Kinkaku and Ginkaku's Six Paths Ninja Tools are still in Konoha, and all the ninjas summoned by Orochimaru to attack Konoha this time are from the Hidden Cloud Village."

"Damn Orochimaru! How could that guy treat the dead ninjas from the Hidden Cloud Village like this."

The bandages on the Fourth Raikage Ai's body were tight, arcs of electricity flashed, and he smashed the table with a fist in rage: "Ma Buyi, go and issue a wanted order for Orochimaru, give the intelligence department additional tasks, and let them pay close attention to Orochimaru's movements!"

Sackcloth hurried out of the room: "Go and inform the medical ninja, Raikage-sama's bandage has broken again!"

"Yes!"

Bright red blood oozed out of the broken skin, and the stinging pain on his body made the Raikage Ai calm down a little. His voice was a little heavy: "Ma Buyi, tell the ninjas in the intelligence department not to be discovered by Orochimaru after encountering him, and report Orochimaru's location first."

"The Cloud Ninjas in Konoha should not be active recently. Let them protect themselves. Make sure the ninjas in the intelligence team always pay attention to the movements of the Hidden Mist Village. If they find that the Hidden Mist Village has the intention of forming an alliance with other hidden villages, remember to kill the outgoing Hidden Mist Ninja intelligence personnel in time!"

When talking about the Hidden Mist Village, some lightning flashed from Ai's body again.

Last month, the Fourth Mizukage, Karutagi Yagura, gave up the advantageous naval battle and went to the Hidden Grass Village to go to war with Konoha.

After learning about this, Ai personally led the team to stop the Fourth Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village, Karotachi Yagura. Not to mention annexing the Hidden Mist Village, but at least to take a piece of its meat.

However, no one expected that this Mizukage had a unique geographical advantage when fighting at sea, as well as the Water Mirror Technique that could restrain physical techniques.

Although he successfully killed the Mizukage in the end, he was affected by the explosion of the Tailed Beast Ball and had to lie in bed for nearly a month.

Now, the Hidden Mist Village no longer has the protection of the perfect Jinchūriki. Ai only needs to wait for his injuries to fully heal before he can launch an attack on the Hidden Mist Village.

"Damn Kirigakure, I'll make you pay the price this time!"

Compared to the Kumogakure Village, which treated the Mist Village as its prey, the Iwagakure Village was both expecting and unexpected about the appearance of Wood Release ninja in Konoha.

"Did they create a vine-covered terrain directly? Are the vines very similar to the Wood Release in the Land of Grass? Did they grow so much in such a short period of time?"

The Third Tsuchikage Ohnoki sighed at the rapid growth of the new ninja world, then looked at the report of Sarutobi Hiruzen's resignation and immediately hissed: "When you get old, you should give way to the young, you can't refuse to admit your age!"

Although the Third Hokage did not say it explicitly, Konoha and Iwagakure had been fighting for so many years, and Ōnoki knew his old rival very well. He actually allowed a genocide of the ninja clan to happen in his own village, and this situation was caused by a misjudgment by the Konoha high-level officials.

This made Ōnoki feel a little depressed, and his relationship with the village's Jinchūriki was not very good.

This inevitably made him wonder whether he would become like the Third Hokage and encounter a similar situation.

There is not much to say about the Fourth Kazekage.

If I have to say it, it was a congratulatory message for the Fifth Hokage, which seemed very shabby among the gifts Tsunade received when she took office.

At the same time, Tsunade, who was sitting in the office, also found the gift from the Sand Village among the vast number of gifts. Looking at the simple attire, she took a look and threw it aside.

"Is this all the Sand Village sent?"

"Yes, Lady Tsunade, the envoy from the Sand Village has already left Konoha. According to the Anbu who arranged the envoy from the Sand Village, the other party left Konoha after handing over this congratulatory message to the Anbu."

Tsunade shook her head and didn't dwell on it too much.

The alliance between villages is just a formality. The fact that the other party sent a congratulatory message means that the Sand Village at least still regards Konoha as an ally for now.

The Sandaime's resignation caused a huge uproar in Konoha.

When Sarutobi Hiruzen took office after the death of the Fourth Hokage, there was some discussion in the village. Some people felt that it was not a good choice to let a Hokage who had not brought any benefits to Konoha in the Third Ninja World War take the position again.

However, due to Jiraiya and Tsunade leaving Konoha and Orochimaru's defection, Konoha urgently needed a Hokage to stabilize the people's hearts. There was no choice but the Third Hokage. Even if some people disagreed, they were suppressed by the majority.

And now, after Sarutobi Hiruzen resigned for the second time in just ten years, some unclear rumors finally began to spread in the village.

Some people began to wonder whether it would have been better if the Sandaime Hokage had taken the initiative to seal the Nine-Tails on the night of the Nine-Tails. Some people also began to wonder if if Jiraiya and Tsunade had been called back at that time, Konoha would be stronger now and the Uchiha clan extermination would not have happened.

But in the final analysis, neither Tsunade nor Sarutobi Hiruzen gave a clear explanation as to why the Sandaime resigned. Except for a few people who knew the truth, most of the villagers were just talking about it for fun.

Tsunade was sitting in her office at noon, writing furiously, and she gave a unified reply to all the ninja villages and countries that had sent her congratulatory messages.

Because Konoha had just suffered an attack by Orochimaru, almost all of the congratulatory messages carefully inquired about Konoha's losses, trying to guess Konoha's next foreign policy based on Konoha's response to them.

Half an hour later, Tsunade threw the pen on the table, stretched, and slowly leaned back in the chair: "Ah! Finally finished!"

The door opened and Shizune walked in, holding a large amount of documents.

"Tsunade-sama, you still have so many documents to sort out..."

"Shizune, why are there so many?"

"Because Kakashi was dealing with Danzo's affairs, basically there were two days of documents that were not processed."

Tsunade frowned, her eyes lingering on the Senju clan identity certificate on the table and the documents held by Shizune, and finally decided to hand these documents over to Kakashi.

Seeing this, Shizune had no choice but to move the documents that she had just moved from the Anbu to the office back to the Anbu again. Under Kakashi's confused eyes, she put the mountain of documents on the table and turned and left.

Shizune walked out of the Anbu, walked quickly to Tsunade's side, and returned to the Senju station.

More than a month had passed since Seto Chihiro was confirmed by Tsunade to be a member of the Senju clan. She had never known that Konoha had such a thing as identity proof.

Of course, Tsunade didn't find him specifically for this identity proof. She just quickly formed seals with her hands and slapped the ground with one palm.

"Ninjutsu. Psychic summoning technique!"

A black psychic circle appeared on the ground, a cloud of smoke rose, and a slug appeared under Seto Chihiro's feet.

"Tsunade-sama? Are you ready?"

Seto Chihiro looked at the scene in front of her and felt confused. What was she ready for?

Tsunade, who was standing next to him, patted him hard and said, "The Ninja Academy has not been completed yet. Let this kid learn Sage Mode in the next few days."

Although the slug has been Seto Chihiro's summoning beast for a short time, after the other party awakened the Wood Release, she could clearly feel the favor of natural energy on this child. This is the first time she has seen such a human in thousands of years.

"With the favor that natural energy has shown to Chihiro-sama, Chihiro will surely learn Sage Mode very quickly."

After hearing the conversation between the slug and Tsunade, Seto Chihiro realized what to do next. Then he thought of the giant slug that appeared in his mind after signing the contract that day, and he began to look forward to the journey ahead.

"Ninja technique. Reverse summoning technique!"

As Tsunade used this ninjutsu, the slug suddenly turned into a large ball of white smoke, and the two figures standing on her back also disappeared from the spot.

The Wet Bone Forest is the inheritance place of the three great sages in the ninja world. The other two corresponding to it are Ryuchi Cave and Myoboku Mountain.

After a dizzying moment, Seto Chihiro opened his eyes. Tsunade was still standing beside him. The slug under his feet had disappeared. In the hazy white mist, slugs of various sizes and shapes were wriggling in it, as if he had come to the world of slugs.

Looking around, the trees around appeared to be bare, with only the towering trunks left.

“Is this the Wet Bone Forest?”

Seto Chihiro took a deep breath. In this space, the natural energy in the air was very rich. The Yamadam spirit stone in her body absorbed the natural energy and strengthened her body at a faster speed.

"Lady Tsunade, Lady Chihiro, please stand on me."

In the thick fog, the slugs on the ground and on the trees began to move towards the feet of Seto Chihiro and Tsunade. Soon they formed a huge slug, carrying the two people on their backs and moving towards the depths of the fog.

Seto Chihiro looked forward. He just saw some creature moving in the distance, and then there was a vibration on the ground.

"Little guy, this is your first time meeting the Slug Sage. Remember to be respectful later." Tsunade casually reminded.

Seto Chihiro was not paying attention to what Tsunade said. He looked at the figure in the thick fog with a look of shock on his face.

Big! Really too big!

Although he had met the Living Slug Immortal when he signed the spiritual communication contract, only after he actually saw him and had a reference object did he know how huge he was.

Just by lowering his head, a simple action, could make the earth begin to tremble, and the huge blue and white body was hiding in the mist.

White mist continuously floats out of the slug's body, which is purified natural energy.

The abundant natural energy and chakra in his body made him feel as vast as the ocean.

"Long time no see, slug!"

"Long time no see, Lady Tsunade."

After greeting Tsunade, the Living Shrimp Sage slowly shifted her gaze to Seto Chihiro. In her eyes, the latter was emitting a silver-white light, demonstrating her will all the time. The natural energy of the Wet Bone Forest seemed to be attracted by her, and was constantly gathering here.

"This should be our second official meeting, Master Chihiro."

Different from the clones summoned by spirits on weekdays, the words and gestures were exactly the same as before, but the ethereal female voice and the vast aura emanating from it all the time made Seto Chihiro unconsciously serious.

He looked up at the other party's white tentacles with a solemn expression: "It is an honor to meet you formally. Thank you for your help during this period."

"You're welcome, Master Chihiro. You can call me the Living Slug just like Master Tsunade. As you can see, I'm just a slug that has lived for a long time. Living Slug Sage is what the outside world calls me. As my contractor, there are not so many rules between us."

Seto Chihiro restrained her previous seriousness and replied with a smile: "Okay, live snail, but if there are no so many rules, you can just call me Chihiro from now on."

"I understand, Chihiro."

The huge tentacles on the slug's head shook twice, and it was very fond of this way of getting along.

Having lived for more than a thousand years, she has seen many human beings and can observe the essence through superficial phenomena. Whether a person is lying or not does not mean much to her.

Humans can be said to be proud creatures. Even when Tsunade first signed the contract with her, she treated her as a fighting partner. The few bits of respect in her eyes were also out of respect for her own body and strength.

Calling someone "sir" may lower your own attitude, but it can undoubtedly quickly narrow the distance between two people.

It is very rare for a slug to see a human being like this who has no prejudice in his eyes and puts himself in the same position as others.
