The Poisonous Strategist Tamura

Dodai and his four companions returned directly to the Ninja Army's encampment without stopping. Dodai's brow furrowed as he looked at the two large scrolls and the young girl glaring at someone.

Because of that brat's meddling, although they had gained immense benefits, the plan had also become fraught with variables.

"Lord Dodai, there's no need to worry. With this foundation and this girl, the Uzumaki Clan Head will surely lean more towards our Kumogakure," Tamura Hiroshi said, trying to appease him. He had put much thought into his actions.

"You despicable scoundrel!" The Uzumaki Kushina opposite him grew even angrier, cursing the person as despicable.

Grandfather had told her to go to Konoha to see her great-aunt, but who would have thought she'd end up with the Ninja Army here in Kumogakure? Clearly, both she and Grandfather had been tricked by that despicable scoundrel.

Tamura Hiroshi's expression darkened at the young girl's insults. He then looked behind her with feigned terror, exclaiming, "Uzumaki Clan Head, why are you here?"

"Grandfather!" Uzumaki Kushina instinctively turned her head, a hint of joy appearing on her face. Grandfather had indeed come to pick her up.

But as she turned, she found nothing behind her. Before she could even comprehend what was happening, her nape stung again, and her consciousness faded into darkness.

"I hate it when people curse me the most!" Tamura Hiroshi snorted coldly after subduing the young girl. He inwardly marveled at the unreasonable Chakra Quantity of the Uzumaki clan.

Although this girl was only ten years old, the Chakra Quantity she could unleash was even greater than Dodai's. Considering her strength with such Chakra, he knew he could only capture her through trickery.

Dodai and Yozuki A watched Tamura Hiroshi, who still needed to resort to schemes to capture a young girl, and both twitched their faces. Fukai even covered his face, not wanting to admit that he was his student.

"Now, let's all think about how to proceed," Dodai said, rubbing his temples. The variables were too great, and he couldn't adjust things easily.

Fukai and Yozuki A didn't know what to say. They were pure combat ninjas; such mind games weren't suited for them.

Dodai didn't hold out hope for them and turned his gaze to Tamura Hiroshi. This brat was full of clever ideas and should be able to provide some inspiration.

Seeing Dodai look over, Tamura Hiroshi calmly said, "Let's proceed according to the original plan. The three great Ninja Villages have already shown us hostility, so we should prioritize taking down one of them. Kirigakure is the most suitable.

However, based on the internal situation of Kirigakure that Lord Dodai told me about, the Third Mizukage's faction and the ninja clans are increasingly at odds. We can take this opportunity to exacerbate their conflict.

We could even identify the personnel the Third Mizukage has placed within this Ninja Army and send them back, along with Sealing Techniques that can perfectly seal the Three-Tails and Six-Tails. This would bolster the Third Mizukage's faction, allowing them to eliminate the ninja clans of Kirigakure.

We, in turn, can take the opportunity to absorb some of the younger ninja clan members, integrating their Kekkei Genkai and Secret Techniques into our Kumogakure.

We could even specifically leave behind some women from Kirigakure's Ninja Army during this War, bring them back, and arrange them with single ninjas in our village. As long as they give birth to children, coupled with the hatred of Kirigakure's destruction, they should be able to integrate into the village.

Moreover, several ninja clans in Kirigakure are very suitable for us, such as the Kaguya Clan. If Brother A could bring back a female ninja from the Kaguya Clan and have children, with the Kaguya Clan's Shikotsumyaku Kekkei Genkai, they could cultivate the Yozuki clan's inherited Hand Blade technique through their own training, even surpassing it, without the need for Secret Medicine.

Tamura Hiroshi pointed at Yozuki A as he spoke. Ever since deciding to establish Kumogakure as their base, he had many ideas, especially drawing inspiration from the Naruto fanfiction he had read in his past life.

For example, having Kimimaro Kaguya cultivate the Eight Inner Gates. With his bone strength, he would definitely be able to withstand the explosive power of the Evening Elephant, preventing bone fractures. If he could cultivate the Lightning Release Armor and Hell Stab, he would undoubtedly become even more formidable.

Kimimaro Kaguya hasn't been born yet, but we can integrate the Kaguya Clan into the Yozuki Clan. We don't need to obtain the complete Shikotsumyaku; as long as it can improve bone and body strength, that's enough.

Furthermore, the Kaguya Clan itself possesses considerable self-healing abilities. Combined with the Yozuki Clan's Secret Techniques, it would be like adding wings to a tiger. If the Eight Inner Gates were added, they could even contend with Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju.

"Me?" Yozuki A was stunned, not expecting to be brought into this.

"For the future of the Yozuki clan and the village, Brother A, you must make a choice. This is the resolve you must have. Of course, if you could persuade Third Teacher to marry a female ninja from the Kaguya Clan and have another junior brother, that would work too," Tamura Hiroshi earnestly persuaded him. This was definitely a good thing.

"I'll do it!" After opening his mouth, Yozuki A ultimately didn't dare to suggest persuading his father to take another wife. If he did, even without his father taking action, his mother would definitely be the first to chop him up when they returned. He could only do it himself, hoping to find someone not ugly.

"That's a viable approach!" Dodai rolled his eyes at the young man and acknowledged the idea. If they were merely to capture female ninjas from Kirigakure's Ninja Army and bring them back to marry and have children, they might not necessarily submit to Kumogakure. The will of a ninja wasn't easily swayed.

However, if the Third Mizukage's faction annihilated the enemy ninja clans within the village, it would be equivalent to severing those individuals' ties to Kirigakure. With the added benefits of marriage and children, there would be a high probability of them becoming loyal to the village.

Still, this matter required further consideration and refinement, and a decision would need to be made after the Third Hokage arrived.

"Aren't you afraid the Uzumaki Clan Head will come after you later?" Dodai then glanced at the young girl who had been knocked unconscious. He could imagine the Uzumaki Clan Head's rage at this moment, probably wanting to tear this brat apart.

"It's already a done deal, what else can he do? Besides, if they want to cause trouble for me, they'll have to survive this first. I have a lot of confidence in Konoha."

Tamura Hiroshi truly didn't care, especially after confirming that the youth accompanying Sarutobi Shinnosuke on his diplomatic mission to Uzushio Hidden Village was most likely Aburame Shibi. This further solidified his belief that Hiruzen Sarutobi and Lord Danzo had no intention of letting the Uzumaki clan survive.

It made sense that the future Aburame Torune could be considered an ace by Shimura Danzo; he was a strategic, terrifying existence.

That kind of nano-poisonous insect was too stealthy, too lethal, and extremely difficult to detect. Once deployed, especially during wartime, it would be even harder to notice and counter. The Uzumaki clan would be lucky to even leave behind a complete corpse.

"Konoha is a significant variable. I wonder how much strength Hiruzen Sarutobi and Shimura Danzō will deploy."

Lord Dodai looked forward to it. In that regard, their goals overlapped with those of the Third Hokage's faction.

The plan to conquer the Uzumaki clan was itself conceived based on the actions of the Third Hokage and his associates. The more intense the killing intent the Third Hokage and his group harbored towards the Uzumaki clan, the better, as it would sever the Uzumaki clan's attachment to Konoha.

Then, after the First Hokage's wife passed away, the Uzumaki clan would completely belong to their Kumogakure.

Thinking of Sarutobi Shinnosuke, whom he had met before, and the deep killing intent the youth held towards him, Tamura Hiroshi spoke, "And then there's that Son of the Hokage, Sarutobi Shinnosuke. I recall you mentioning, Lord Dodai, that the Third Hokage's Taijutsu primarily relies on his Summoning Beast, the Monkey King Enma. That Son of the Hokage must have also signed a summoning contract with the Monkey Clan.

If we capture him, we can definitely interrogate him for many of Konoha's Secret Techniques and Ninjutsu, even the Forbidden Jutsu from the Scroll of Seals, especially the Sarutobi clan's Great Fireball Technique.

Then, we can control him to summon the Monkey King Enma, have the Third Teacher suppress him, and invite an Uzumaki clan expert to help seal the summoning contract to prevent Enma from escaping.

After that, we can use the Monkey King to obtain the Monkey Clan's summoning contract, then use Reverse Summoning to bring the Third Teacher to the Monkey Clan's territory and destroy them. This would definitely greatly weaken the strength of the Third Hokage and the Sarutobi clan.

It seems the Third Hokage's Enma also has an indestructible body. This is very valuable for research. After research, his corpse could also be used as medicine..."

Hearing this, the three people present couldn't help but twitch their eyelids. So sinister!

But I like it, let's do it.

Lord Dodai sighed, "Truly a talent nurtured by Shimura Danzo, so devious!"
