Chapter 127
The Gari of the Explosion Release was also instantly killed by Fugaku Uchiha with a single glance, without any power to resist.
Immediately afterwards, Fugaku Uchiha swiftly Jonin several elite Iwagakure.
Due to a lack of information and fear of the strange Mangekyō ability, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki immediately led all his subordinates to retreat.
This day.
Fugaku Uchiha once again made a name for himself.
The name of the Wicked Eye Fugaku resounded throughout other countries...
63. Spy Candidates
That evening.
All operational intelligence was relayed back to Konoha.
The battle against Sunagakure has been a success.
However, it did not have the profound and impactful effect of the battle results achieved by the Fugaku Uchiha side.
According to intelligence reports...
Fugaku Uchiha instantly killed sixty-three Jonin.
After a day of continuous pursuit.
Iwagakure suffered a complete defeat.
"Even Chunin and Special Jonin are no match for Fugaku Uchiha. Even ordinary Jonin can't last more than two moves against him..."
Mitokado Homura frowned as he looked at the intelligence report on the table.
"What's even more terrifying is that renowned powerhouses like Explosion Release: Hunting, Magnet Release: Troy... were instantly killed in a single exchange by the Mangekyou Sharingan's eye techniques..."
"This is clearly unreasonable."
Danzo looked at the report.
According to the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju Mangekyō Sharingan.
Using the Mangekyō Sharingan continuously in this way will inevitably lead to rapid blindness.
Fugaku Uchiha's eyesight must have deteriorated significantly.
It even brought them close to blindness.
--Assuming Aburame Ryoma's report is correct.
Because there are no people who possess the Mangekyō Sharingan.
He can use his Dōjutsu 63 times in a single day, and each time it's an instant kill.
Unless...
Fugaku Uchiha received a transplant of cells from the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju.
But that's impossible.
The remains of the two ancestors are still well preserved in the cemetery.
The entire site of the Wood Release experiment previously conducted by the village has also been destroyed.
So, what exactly is this...?
"Iwagakure is already planning a ceasefire; summon Fugaku Uchiha back immediately."
Danzo provided his conclusion.
If Fugaku Uchiha continues to kill, who knows what will happen?
He might just become the Fourth Hokage while killing people.
After all, building up a reputation is currently the most important thing in the election for the Fourth Hokage.
"What do we do now?"
Mitokado Homura agreed with Danzo's statement.
And then what?
The Uchiha Clan also possesses the Mangekyō, specifically the spacetime type.
The most difficult to deal with, and the most troublesome.
During the conversation between the three senior executives.
An Anbu entered the conference room.
A message from Utatane Koharu, sent from the front lines in the Land of Rain, was presented.
Hiruzen Sarutobi took the message, glanced at it, and then fell silent.
A moment later, he raised his head and said to his two colleagues, "Aburame Shikuroo... is dead."
Because there was no report for a long time.
Utatane Koharu sent someone to the capital of the Land of Rain, only to learn that Aburame Shikuroo had been killed two days earlier.
After understanding what happened...
Hiruzen Sarutobi, Mitokado Homura, and Shimura Danzō discovered it.
They underestimated the danger posed by the Amakawa Akito's ideology.
They actually... threatened to kill the daimyo, and even dared to be an enemy of the entire ninja world.
"Hmph, anyone can talk tough."
Although Danzo said this, he already understood in his heart.
If Amakawa Akito really goes to extremes...
Therefore, the plan to threaten the Daimyo of the Land of Rain and force Amegakure to surrender would have been a complete failure.
Because he said that if the daimyo died, he would simply replace him with another one, and if he actually did that, threatening the daimyo would become meaningless.
In Konoha...
It contains Uchiha Clan, who have awakened an unknown number of Mangekyō.
Beyond the Land of Rain, Amakawa Akito and Nagato.
Konoha's current situation, beset by internal and external troubles, is quite awkward.
After all, the Third Shinobi World War had already lasted for six years, which was far too long.
The national treasury is completely empty, and it will take time to recover.
If this drags on, Konoha will truly become the biggest loser.
"Hiruzen, it's time to choose the Fourth Hokage."
Danzo up and said.
On one hand, the emergence of a new Hokage can be used to suppress the Uchiha, and on the other hand, it can completely eliminate their possibility of becoming Hokage.
On the other hand, he planned to recommend Orochimaru to Hokage Orochimaru and thus control Konoha.
The Hokage election in Konoha.
It requires official endorsement from the Land of Fire and the consent of the Daimyo.
And the Konoha Jonin Corps election.
But in fact...
This thing... can actually be officially designated.
Just like how Tobirama Senju took away Madara Uchiha's rightful place as the Second Hokage.
Even the First Hokage and Second directly designated the young Hiruzen Sarutobi as the next Hokage.
Everything has been arranged.
Rules and regulations.
He was just an ordinary person, a low-level ninja, following the rules.
The upper echelons... never follow the rules.
The merits of Fugaku Uchiha were sidelined, and he was prohibited from being nominated.
They don't even give them a chance to be nominated, let alone vote.
Just like a race.
A fair competition requires that the athletes are standing on the track.
How can you expect a fair competition if you don't even allow athletes to step onto the track?
The candidates for the Fourth Hokage have already been decided: Orochimaru and Minato Namikaze.
In the end, Minato Namikaze victorious...
Mitokado Homura adjusted his glasses, already knowing the outcome.
Danzo's efforts to support Orochimaru were ultimately futile.
"Accept the ceasefire agreement from Iwagakure, end the Third Shinobi World War, and extricate the Land of Fire from the quagmire of the war."
"Then they will elect the Fourth Hokage to continue suppressing the Uchiha..."
"At that time, whether we concentrate our efforts on dealing with the small Amegakure or use the Uchiha Clan as cannon fodder... no, as vanguards, the situation will be under our control."
Mitokado Homura banged on the table.
He revealed Konoha's next decision-making direction.
"We should send someone to Amegakure to appease them temporarily."
Danzo revealed Amegakure's countermeasures.
As long as diplomatic personnel are sent to Amegakure to draft a ceasefire agreement, Amegakure will be temporarily put on hold.
That will allow things to develop in a positive direction.
"In addition, I also plan to send spies to infiltrate Amegakure and gather intelligence on them..."
Danzo stated.
The most important thing is to ascertain the situation of Amakawa Akito and keep track of his movements at all times.
And... to find out whether Hanzo of the Salamander is really dead or not.
The Akatsuki Organization reached an agreement with Amakawa Akito and others regarding whether it was located within the Land of Land of Rain or hidden in Amegakure.
"Who are you planning to send?" Mitokado Homura asked Danzo.
Amegakure... is not so easy to infiltrate.
Especially since the enemy has just recaptured the village, the level of surveillance will be doubled.
"Hehe, I have someone in mind."
Danzo smiled slightly.
The image of the retired "Walking Miko, Yakushi Nonō" flashed through my mind.
I heard that she recently became a nun and opened an orphanage, taking in some children who lost their homes because of the war.
It's been several years since we last met.
Yakushi Nonō faded from public view.
Amegakure... will absolutely not discover any flaws.
He only needs to threaten her a little.
Yakushi Nonō will obediently resume serving Konoha...
