Traveling through Nagato, from conquering Konan to dominating the ninja world

"I really can't imagine that with his strength, he could be ambushed by an enemy ninja. The only person who could have ambushed him is probably someone he trusts the most."

Shisui murmured, "The people that our ancestors...trusted the most were probably the high-ranking officials of Konoha who were also disciples of the Second Hokage."

After Fugaku was silent, he said in a deep voice: "The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, he has a rare talent as a Hokage, and treats people with 'kindness', but his 'kindness' must rely on a strong iron fist to ensure its implementation."

"Furthermore, the third generation takes the overall situation into consideration, so it is difficult for him to make decisions on local sensitive issues. He is easily influenced by hardliners and makes compromises, which leads to the accumulation and intensification of contradictions."

"Similarly. It is precisely because he takes the overall situation into consideration that he makes the decision to sacrifice the local situation in order to preserve the overall situation when the local conflicts become intensified to the point where they cannot be alleviated."

Fugaku's eyes suddenly became fierce at this moment: "Therefore. Shisui, I dare to assert! If the Third Hokage is in office, within ten years at most, our clan will definitely face the critical juncture of life and death!"

"!!" Shisui raised his eyes in astonishment and looked at the serious profile of this elder... For a moment, he was unable to refute.

The fierceness in Fugaku's eyes was hidden. "Fortunately, the Third Generation also understood the drawbacks of his own rule, so he selected a successor early on. I hope that Konoha can embark on the road to revival under this new trend."

"His choice was wise."

"Namikaze Minato, like me, participated in the final battle of Mount Kikyo. First of all, I don't feel any prejudice against the Uchiha clan from him."

"I originally thought that it was just the 'softness' that the Third Hokage had inherited, until something happened later that completely changed my opinion of him."

Shisui asked, "What's going on?"

Fugaku recalled: "At the critical moment of the war, the ninjas of Kumogakure actually held the relatives of the Fire Country Daimyo hostage and used them to threaten the Konoha ninjas to surrender! In that situation, everyone, including me, was afraid to act... But he acted without hesitation!"

"Kill all the enemies and save the daimyo's relatives!"

"I know his decision very well. It is not only because of his confidence in his own strength, but also because he knows what the consequences will be if he is controlled by others at a critical moment of life and death!"

"Even if he can't save the daimyo's relatives, he will still take decisive action!"

"This incident also made me see clearly the courage under his gentle appearance. That is the courage that the Third Hokage will never possess!"

"If he says so, then Minato Namikaze will not be shaken by the dark side of the village!"

"From this... I see hope for resolving the conflict between the clan and the village."

"As long as Minato Namikaze is in power, the clan will not be pushed to the brink of rebellion!"

Fugaku raised his head and looked at the sun hidden in the clouds.

"So Shisui. I have decided to place your grandfather's hopes on this young Hokage. I will lead the clan and fully support his position as Hokage."

Shisui's eyes sparkled: So that's how it is...Mr. Fugaku.

Fugaku said in a low voice: "But the young people in the village probably won't obey willingly. So, I can only express my determination to you first."

"Because, whether in ninja talent or vision, you are the most outstanding genius in the clan. I want to place my hope of changing the younger generation of the clan on you."

A bright smile appeared on Shisui's face: "Is this the reason why you volunteered to take on this mission, and... the reason why you took me on this mission alone?

"That's right. The young Hokage, who will also become the father of a newborn baby in a year, should be able to feel my determination as a father."

"Shisui, there is one more thing. It is a personal request from me."

Fugaku looked down at Shisui and said solemnly: "Itachi, at such a young age, has the same outstanding vision and delicate heart as you."

"But what worries me is that he witnessed the cruelty of war and the coldness of death too early, which led to a dark and depressed tone in his heart. Even if he has love, it is a love with a gray tone. I am worried that premature maturity will largely affect his future behavior."

"From now on, I would like to ask you... to guide that child more."

Shisui turned around and said solemnly: "Ah, thank you for your trust, it's my honor!"

Fugaku put down his hands that were in front of his chest, rolled up his sleeves, and smiled for the first time in a long time: "Okay, no worries, let's start working..."

……

"We're here. This is it." After an unknown amount of time, Nagato stopped.

Xiaonan glanced behind him: "Human Dao, there is no supplement, is it okay?"

"It doesn't matter. Five Dao Battles with Two Heroes should be more than enough."

A wild smile appeared on Nagato's lips.

Shisui, Fugaku... My future also lies in you!

Chapter 31 Fierce Encounter!

In the heart of Platycodon Mountain, a steel wire that is too invisible to the naked eye is buried in the weeds.

Shisui stood on a high place, used his Sharingan to observe, shot out a kunai, and hit the steel wire accurately!

"Click!!"

The detonating trap buried deep underground instantly bounced to the height of an adult. After the explosion, hidden weapons were sprayed in all directions!

Shisui swung his sword to block and knocked down all the approaching hidden weapons. He sighed, "It's not enough to have a jumping mine, but there are also splashing hidden weapons that are triggered by the explosion..."

His Sharingan moved towards the hidden weapon nailed to the stone wall, and the faint purple color on it made him narrow his eyes slightly.

"The hidden weapon was even poisoned? In order to kill someone, they would do anything possible."

"Fortunately, this trap was not triggered during the war, otherwise there would have been heavy casualties."

"boom!!"

After eliminating another similar trap not far away, Fugaku walked over and said, "Now, all the traps left by the three warring parties in the Battle of Kikyo Mountain have been eliminated. This area can be unblocked."

Shisui sheathed his ninja sword and jumped down from the cliff, saying with a sense of relief, "Yes, I've been busy for three whole days and three nights. It's really a huge project."

Fugaku said, "Let's rest here for a while and return to the village to report at dawn."

"Boom!"

Thunder rumbled, and the thick clouds that had accumulated over a month in the sky could no longer hold back the rain, which seemed to wash away the wounds of war...

However, the two pairs of Sharingan looked at the rainy sky, and the expressions of their respective owners became solemn.

The chakra mixed in with the rain could not escape the eyes of the two men.

Fugaku and Shisui looked at each other and reached a consensus.

"It seems... it's not possible to rest."

……

In the dense forest at the foot of Platycodon Mountain, the rain hits the leaves, making crisp sounds, and the air is filled with the unique scent of moist soil.

Nagato and Konan, wearing raincoats, stood side by side.

"By the way, Konan, take this." Nagato took out a 'crystal ball' that he had obtained along the way from his ninja tool bag and gave it to Konan.

He formed a seal with his hands and covered the crystal ball.

Noisy!

On the crystal ball, there appeared a scene of Fugaku and Shisui walking in the rain.

"This is..." Xiaonan couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes.

Nagato put down his hand that was forming a seal and said, "This is the 'telescope technique' used by the Third Hokage for long-distance spying. This technique is recorded in the remaining volume of the 'Book of Sealing' that I obtained. I have mastered it along with that technique."

Xiaonan asked: "Can this technique be used to spy directly in any situation?"

Nagato smiled and said, "No, you must be familiar with the other party's chakra characteristics to do this. I use the Rain Tiger Free Technique to confirm the other party's chakra, and then use the Telescope Technique to display the image. It is a perfect match."

This jutsu... should be the jutsu that teacher Jiraiya has always dreamed of.

Xiaonan asked, "What about the distance? Now that you are familiar with the characteristics of chakra, can you see it at any distance?"

Nagato said: "Of course not. The farther away from the target, the more chakra is consumed. On the other hand, if the chakra is strong enough, you can see it no matter how far away it is..."

Konan thought: Is that so... With Nagato's chakra, he should be able to see very far.

Her expression changed slightly.

"Can I learn this technique?"

Nagato smiled and said, "Of course, if you want to learn, I can teach you. However, for now, you should rely on the crystal ball in my hand to watch every move on the battlefield."

But... after a moment's silence, Konan returned the crystal ball to Nagato.

She said seriously, "Nagato, I would rather participate in the battle directly than watching the battle beside you!"

"Konan..." Feeling Konan's determination, Nagato couldn't refuse, as it would be disrespectful to her.

"Then go ahead. I'll give you a mission. During the battle, use your ability to collect their blood..."

After all, no matter how powerful Pain is, it is unimaginable that he can pin those two people to the ground and collect their blood directly. With Konan, Nagato can fight without any worries.

"I understand." Xiaonan said.

"In addition..." If Konan joins the battle, there is one thing that Nagato has to pay attention to, and that is the eye power of Fugaku and Shisui.

On the eve of the Uchiha Rebellion, Shisui and Fugaku both activated their Mangekyō Sharingan.

But... the original work did not reveal the exact time when they opened their eyes.

The death of a close person, or an equal mental stimulation, is an opportunity to open the kaleidoscope.

The Third Ninja World War has just ended... To be honest, the probability of these two opening their eyes is really high, especially... Fugaku!

If they had opened their eyes at this time... Fugaku's pupil power is unknown, let's not talk about it for now. However, Shisui's pupil power "Kotoamatsukami" must be guarded against, especially... for Konan, a living being!

Nagato warned sternly: "Konan... in this battle, you must not look into Uchiha Shisui's eyes under any circumstances!"

"Ah, I see. Not to mention Shisui, I won't look directly into the eyes of any of them!"

"That's good." Nagato put the crystal ball away.

"Bang!" At that time, the Beast Path Perrin summoned the Yatagarasu and flew away towards the mountainside in the rain!

……

Platycodon Mountain, halfway up the mountain.

"Feel that, Shisui?"

"Ah, the air is becoming scorching. It feels like the enemy's chakra is quite strong!"

"In the village, only a few people know about our mission. Apart from the village leaders, there are only members of the police force..."

"I believe that the Fourth Generation will not take advantage of our misfortune, and I believe that our tribesmen will not betray us."

"Besides that, who else could possibly target us? After thinking about it, it's only that person..."

The person that Fugaku was talking about...it goes without saying that it is Danzo Shimura!

Under the premise of intelligence isolation, this is almost the only answer.

As they moved forward, both of them became more alert!

Suddenly... a shadow came down!

"coming!!"

Fugaku and Shisui stopped, looked at each other, and jumped back at the same time!!!

"boom!!!"

The flaming mechanical wrist... heavily slammed into the spot where the two had just stood, leaving a terrible hole!!

"Click!" Shuradao retracted his strange arm and the mechanism closed!

“Whoosh!” “Whoosh!” “Whoosh!” “Whoosh!”

Dark shadows flashed alternately in the rainy sky.

Fugaku and Shisui were moving at high speed, and the Sharingan in their pupils were swaying red light left and right!

"The number of enemies: one, two, three, four, five..."

"Swish!" "Swish!"

The backs of the two people were pressed together again!!

There was a figure standing on each of the six raised camel humps, forming an encirclement, looking down at the two people standing back to back below!

"There are... six of them!!"

“Screech!” A dark shadow shrouded the sky, and the Yatagarasu came roaring from the sky...!

Fugaku and Shisui formed seals with their hands at the same time, and used their best family ninjutsu against the descending black shadow! !

——Fire Style: Great Fireball!!!
