Chapter 34: Trends of All Parties

Hokage's office.

"Sir, the Uchiha clan has sent back the four detained Anbu."

"They were not punished, they were just locked up for one night."

"Is that so?" The Third Hokage took a puff of his cigarette.

"Sarutobi, what are you going to do?" Mitomono asked beside him.

The Third Hokage sighed: "Withdraw all the Anbu who are monitoring the Uchiha clan, and they don't have to go there anymore."

"Is this really okay, Sarutobi?"

Mitomono was still worried. Monitoring the Uchiha clan has always been the order left by Tobirama.

They didn't dare to relax for a moment, but they never caught any handle.

But the Nine-Tails Rebellion was clearly caused by the Uchiha's Sharingan.

"If you don't withdraw, are you going to let all the Anbu die there?"

The Third Hokage snorted heavily.

"Now the two Uchiha Kage-level strongmen, Fugaku and Natsuki, are all masters of the Mangekyō Sharingan. Now Killer Bee is still lying in our Konoha hospital!"

Mitomon En sat down sullenly without saying a word.

Utatane Koharu said:

"Otherwise, call back Jiraiya and Tsunade?"

Sarutobi took a deep puff of cigarette:

"Tsunade's whereabouts are uncertain, let Jiraiya come back."

Mitomon En and Utatane Koharu looked at each other. How could Tsunade's whereabouts be uncertain?

Wherever she went, the title of big fat sheep spread.

The reason why Tsunade didn't come back was that she had always doubted the Konoha high-level officials.

The death of Nawaki and Duan was too obvious, but Tsunade had no evidence, so she left Konoha.

It's not easy to find Tsunade now.

Jiraiya's personality is easier to control.

Utatane Koharu nodded:

"I'll make arrangements."

After Utatane Koharu left, the third generation asked:

"How are the Kumogakure?"

Mito Kado En picked up the official letter in his hand:

"Kirabee is now fine after emergency treatment in the hospital. With his Jinchūriki's physique, he will be discharged soon."

"Yumuto wrote a letter back to Kumogakure. But they all stayed in the embassy honestly and didn't go anywhere else."

The third generation nodded. Kumogakure was really scared this time.

It is estimated that they didn't expect Uchiha to publicly support Konoha Village.

Although Konoha Village can get some benefits from the peace talks this time, the Hyuga clan...

The third generation Hokage was deeply troubled. How could the Uchiha family produce a freak like Natsuki?

This series of changes in the Uchiha family was caused by Natsuki becoming the deputy clan leader.

Now that their Hokage line has lost the Hyuga ally, they have no choice but to recall Jiraiya.

If Orochimaru was here, it would be great.

The Third Hokage knew what kind of character Orochimaru had.

But Orochimaru was top-notch in both scientific research and IQ.

If Orochimaru was to be the Hokage...

The Third Hokage was a little absent-minded for a while.

"Sarutobi? Sarutobi?"

Mito Kado En's voice brought the Third Hokage back to his senses.

He shook his head. He was really old. How could Orochimaru come back?

The Third Hokage pulled himself together:

"Well, what is Danzo doing recently?"

Mito Kado En hesitated and said:

"Since the Root entered the security team, Hizashi only let them do law and order maintenance work."

"Since too many people complained, Danzo had to go and rectify it himself."

"I'm not sure what he has done recently. But he often sends people from the Root to go around the places in charge of Uchiha."

"Humph, the Uchiha now is not so easy to bully."

The Third Hokage loved and hated Danzo. They were teammates back then.

Later, he became the leader. He was the Hokage and Danzo was the shady guy. They worked well together.

However, Danzo's ambition has been growing day by day in recent years. The number of people in the root has exceeded the original number by far.

How many roots are buried deep underground, even he, the Hokage, doesn't know.

Before, Danzo coveted Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan.

As a result, he was caught by Natsuki and was hit hard. Now he still doesn't give up.

"Hmm..."

The third generation thought for a while.

"Pass this message to Natsuki. Let them fight on their own."

Mitomon nodded in approval.

He also saw Danzo's ambition in recent years. They were teammates back then, but Danzo now has a superior attitude.

Now that Uchiha is so strong, Danzo is likely to suffer.

...

Land of Fields.

After many days of long journey, Itachi and Shisui finally arrived at the Land of Fields.

The Land of Rice is just a small country, not even one-tenth the size of the Land of Fire.

Its products are not as abundant as the Land of Fire, and its national strength is relatively low.

However, after traveling in the wilderness for many days, the people just want to have a good rest.

Let's find out some news.

In a small town.

The Uchiha group directly booked the entire hotel.

The hotel owner, who was about to go bankrupt, suddenly received such a big business, and was so happy that he couldn't see his eyes.

He was very attentive to Itachi and his group, and responded to their requests.

After a day of rest, the group also recovered their vitality.

Early the next morning, Takuya had already started to inquire about the information of the Land of Rice.

"Has your Land of Rice recently built a new ninja village?"

"Hey, guest, you all know this." The innkeeper was surprised.

"We established a new village called Otogakure a few years ago. Although it is a small village, it is quite capable."

"There are many foreign ninjas in Otogakure, and the missions in Otogakure are very efficient."

"Our daimyo is also very supportive of Otogakure. I heard that a lot of money has been allocated to Otogakure."

Before setting off, Elder Takuya inquired about the location of Otogakure and some details.

After resting, all the Uchiha quickly moved towards Otogakure.

The land of Tianzhi is very small, and it took only two days to reach the territory of Otogakure.

In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, Itachi arranged the other Uchiha in the town, and he and Shisui prepared to go there alone.

The overall scale of Otogakure is very shabby, and the land area is not as large as that of the Uchiha clan, with only a few hundred people entering and leaving.

But when Itachi and Shisui walked into Otogakure, they clearly felt that there were many powerful chakras hidden in the village.

Those were obviously jonin-level ninjas.

Itachi and Shisui were both secretly careful and went to the mission center as the mission client.

There was only one reception window at the mission center.

There was a fat aunt inside, just an ordinary person.

Shisui walked up to negotiate, and the aunt looked kind:

"Welcome to Sound Village, what can I do for you?"

Shisui answered politely:

"We need to find someone, he should be in your Sound Village."

"Oh? Who is the guest talking about?" The aunt asked in confusion.

"They are here to find me."

A man wearing glasses walked in from the door with a smile on his face, it was Kabuto Yakushi.

"Come with me, both of you."

Kabuto Yakushi greeted the aunt. He took Itachi and Shisui to the back of the village.

Behind the village was a branch of a mountain range, and there were fewer and fewer people along the way, until only the footsteps of three people were left.

Not long after, Kabuto stopped at the mouth of a col.

"I wonder why the famous Shunshin Shisui and the young clan leader of the Uchiha came to the Sound Village."

As he spoke, several figures jumped down from the side, and they had different forehead protectors.

All of them were followers that Orochimaru found from other ninja villages, and they were all ninjas at the level of Jonin.

Everyone looked at Itachi and Shisui with hostility.

Itachi ignored everyone's gaze and took a step forward:

"You are Kabuto Yakushi, right? Where is Orochimaru?"

Itachi's tone was flat, without any ups and downs, but several Jonin seemed to be stimulated.

"How dare you call the adults by their names!"

Then he pounced fiercely on Itachi and Shisui.
