Crossover Anime: I'm Dominating Konoha, Sailing Through Bleach

At that moment, Uchiha Ryosuke flashed before their eyes and disappeared.

Only after he left did the two of them finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"What should we do now?"

Koharu, her face grim, turned to look at Homura Mitokado.

"I'm afraid we won't be able to wait for Sarutobi to return. Let's go and discuss this with Danzo now!"

"The Uchiha's actions constitute a de facto rebellion!!"

Mitomon En gritted his teeth in uncontrollable rage.

"Shall we summon the heads of the other families as well?"

Xiaochun said after turning to bed.

"Okay, I'll send someone over to inform them right now!"

Mitomon Yan stood up angrily and turned to walk out of the secret room.

The journey from Konoha to the Land of Fire is long and arduous; it would be impossible for an ordinary ninja to travel there in a day or two.

Therefore, Uchiha Ryosuke was not in a hurry after calculating the time.

After leaving the secret meeting room with the advisor, he took the handwritten letter and went to the Hyuga clan's territory in Konoha.

Upon arrival, I overheard several members of the Hyuga clan discussing something.

Upon closer listening, Uchiha Ryosuke realized they were talking about their heroic feats on the battlefield.

　840 It seems that Danzo the old scoundrel has indeed kept his word.

He released information related to the Uchiha clan's battle achievements.

"Cough cough..."

Uchiha Ryosuke coughed twice and appeared in front of the Hyuga clan members who were discussing the matter.

Upon seeing a stranger appear, the Hyuga clan members immediately became alert.

"Wait, he seems to be..."

One of them was stunned when he saw Uchiha Ryosuke's Konoha headband and the Uchiha clan crest.

“That’s right, I am Uchiha Ryosuke, whom you were just talking about.”

Uchiha Ryosuke grinned and said, "Is your clan leader here? Could you please call him out? I have something to say to him."

"Master Patriarch?"

The members of the Hyuga clan exchanged glances upon hearing this, and looked at Uchiha Ryosuke with a mixture of disbelief and skepticism.

They weren't quite sure if this was the legendary man who single-handedly defeated a hundred enemies on the battlefield, routing the enemies from Kirigakure, Kumogakure, and Iwagakure, forcing them to retreat in disarray.

However, considering that if this were true, not informing them would be disrespectful to the guests, one of the Hyuga clan members quickly turned around and ran back to inform Hyuga Hiashi.

A short while later, Hyuga Hiashi followed the eleven or twelve-year-old Hyuga clansman to the door.

He recognized Uchiha Ryosuke at a glance.

At that time, he and his brother Hyuga Hizashi were on the battlefield trying to support three Konoha defense forces that were besieged.

They never expected the number of enemies to be so large, and their strength to be so outrageous that they almost lost both of them.

Fortunately, Uchiha Ryosuke intervened in time, not only saving the two brothers but also routing all the enemies from Kumogakure, led by the Fourth Raikage.

This incident deeply shocked the Hyuga brothers, Hiashi and Hizashi.

So they always remembered this life-saving kindness.

"Hyuga-kun, how have you been?"

Upon seeing Hyuga Hiashi, Uchiha Ryosuke immediately greeted him with a friendly smile.

"I didn't expect it to be you who came in person. Please come inside and have a cup of tea so we can chat."

Hiashi Hyuga nodded politely and turned to make a gesture of invitation.

However, Uchiha Ryosuke waved his hand and declined the other party's kindness: "I'm in a hurry, so I won't trouble myself."

"I came here to tell you something. By the way, where is Hizashi-kun?"

"He is presiding over the funeral of the family members who died during the division of the clan. I will send someone to inform him immediately..."

Despite his inner confusion, Hiashi Hyuga wondered what Ryosuke Uchiha was doing here so late.

But since the other party was the savior of his two brothers, he showed sufficient politeness and courtesy.

Uchiha Ryosuke quickly waved his hand again: "Since he's busy, I won't bother him. You can just relay what I said to him later."

"Brother Liangyou, what are you planning to say?"

Hiashi Hyuga looked at the man in front of him with suspicion.

His intuition told him that he might have been too enthusiastic just now, and what the other party was about to say might bring trouble to himself and even the Hyuga clan.

"Next, I will run for the position of Fourth Hokage."

"I hope that your Hyuga clan will fully support the Uchiha clan."

Uchiha Ryosuke cut to the chase and revealed his true purpose.

Upon hearing this, Hiashi Hyuga's expression changed slightly, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.

I didn't expect it to be as troublesome as I suspected.

Hiashi Hyuga looked at Ryosuke Uchiha meaningfully: "You are the savior of our Hyuga clan. Logically speaking, we have no reason to refuse your request, but..."

He hesitated.

The fact that Uchiha Ryosuke specifically sought him out to get his support for the Uchiha clan suggests that this election is no simple matter.

The conflict between Konoha and the Uchiha clan has a long history, and any ninja with some seniority in the village has heard a few rumors about them.

At this moment, Hiashi Hyuga's thoughts were very simple.

He didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing, and of course he didn't want the Hyuga clan to be drawn into the struggle between the Uchiha clan and the village.

Unless absolutely necessary.

Hearing Hiashi Hyuga's troubled reply, Ryosuke Uchiha looked at him meaningfully.

The entire Hidden Leaf Village has just experienced the brutal Third Shinobi World War. Not to mention countless ordinary clans, almost the entire family was sacrificed, leaving them without descendants.

Even these prestigious families suffered heavy losses and were severely weakened.

Given this context, it is understandable that Hiashi Hyuga was unwilling to participate in the village's struggles.

Furthermore, he probably wouldn't want to see infighting between villages.

Thinking to himself, Uchiha Ryosuke smiled slightly: "Don't worry, we just want your Hyuga clan to show their attitude, we won't ask you to participate in the war."

"Brother Hiashi, all you need to do is make a promise, which shouldn't be difficult for you."

After he finished speaking, he stared at Hiashi Hyuga with a half-smile.

This smile, though seemingly harmless and friendly, gave Hiashi Hyuga a chilling feeling.

Recalling the scene of Uchiha Ryosuke single-handedly slaughtering hundreds of Kumogakure ninjas on the battlefield, Hyuga Hiashi felt a chill run down his spine.

This man is definitely not as friendly and polite as he appears on the surface.

If the Hyuga clan gets involved in the village's internal strife, the consequences will be very serious.

After thinking it over, Hyuga Hiashi slowly closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"Answer one question for me first."

Hiashi Hyuga stared intently at Ryosuke Uchiha and said in a deep voice.

"You said."

Why does the Uchiha clan want to rule Konoha?

How should I answer that question?

Uchiha Ryosuke shook his head, both amused and exasperated, his gaze meeting Hyuga Hiashi's without blinking: "Is it to make the Uchiha clan lead Konoha to greater prosperity and stability? Or is it to make Konoha, and the Land of Fire, greater?"

After saying that, he shook his head self-deprecatingly.

"Let me put it this way, Brother Hiashi, the most important thing for the Uchiha clan is to survive, develop, and continue.

"Everything else is secondary. If the Uchiha clan no longer exists, then there is no need for Konoha to exist either. I don't know if you can understand what I'm saying."

After he finished speaking, he stared at Hiashi Hyuga.

After a moment of silence, the latter finally nodded in understanding.

At this moment, Uchiha Ryosuke once again said earnestly, "I can guarantee one thing: no matter whether the Uchiha clan is the ruler of Konoha or not, we will not betray our beliefs or turn our backs on this homeland we stand on."

After a few seconds of contemplation, Hiashi Hyuga calmly replied, "Since you've already put it this way, what more can we say?"

"So, Mr. Hiashi, you've agreed?"

Uchiha Ryosuke's face lit up with joy, and the corners of his mouth slowly turned up involuntarily.

When he saw Hiashi Hyuga nod silently, he finally revealed a genuine smile of joy.

"From now on, the Hyuga clan and the Uchiha clan are in the same boat."

He Ryosuke patted Hyuga Hiashi on the shoulder: "Oh right, don't forget to tell Hizashi about this. I'll be going now."

After saying that, Uchiha Ryosuke turned around and disappeared in a flash.

Several Hyuga clan members nearby witnessed and heard the entire conversation.

At this moment, they all looked at the silent Hyuga Hiashi with strange and complicated expressions.

Coming to his senses, Hiashi Hyuga turned to them, frowning as if nothing had happened, and said, "Aren't you going to deliver the order? No matter what happens between the Uchiha clan and the village..."

Before Hiashi Hyuga could finish speaking, a figure suddenly appeared before them like a ghost.

The sudden appearance of the figure startled them.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Uchiha Ryosuke, who had returned.

"Oh right, buddy, I forgot to tell you earlier."

"You can rest assured that the Uchiha clan will not cause serious bloodshed in Konoha. We will not attack anyone who supports us, whether they come from noble families or are commoners."

"So, goodbye."

He grinned, revealing a bright, sunny smile, then waved to them before disappearing again.

Hiashi Hyuga and several of his clansmen still harbored deep apprehension in their eyes.

Their feelings at this moment were incredibly complex.

I don't know if Uchiha Ryosuke just deliberately showed off his strength in front of them to send a warning.

But that kind of stealthy, ghost-like speed is truly awe-inspiring.

"Pass the order."

Hiashi Hyuga snapped out of his daze and solemnly ordered the remaining clansmen: "No matter what happens in the village, no member of the Hyuga clan shall be an enemy of the Uchiha!"

...

After leaving the Hyuga clan's territory, Uchiha Ryosuke quickly arrived at the territory of another prestigious Konoha clan.

Young Nara Shikaku and his wife Nara Yoshino were preparing to go to bed.

Suddenly he became alert, frowned, and crawled out of bed again.

"what happened?"

Nara Yoshino looked at her husband with a puzzled expression, but Nara Shikaku did not speak. Instead, he walked slowly out of the house with a solemn expression and carefully observed the situation outside.

Under the moonlight, a figure could be clearly seen standing in their yard.

The other person deliberately turned their back to me.

It seemed he wanted to make himself see the Uchiha clan crest on his back.

"A member of the Uchiha clan... What are you doing here?"

Nara Shikaku asked warily.
