"Have you already mastered this technique?"
"I never imagined you had such a high talent for learning Sealing Jutsu."
Mito Uzumaki spoke with a sour tone, expressing her disbelief at how quickly Uchiha Nan had learned the Sealing Jutsu.
As soon as Uchiha Nan obtained the extremely difficult Sealing Jutsu invented by Tobirama Senju, he immediately sought out Mito Uzumaki. After all, Uchiha Nan had never been exposed to Sealing Jutsu before, and without a master proficient in Sealing Jutsu to guide his training, it was unknown how long it would take to learn this Sealing Jutsu.
Uchiha Nan would never Tobirama Senju —that inherently evil white-haired old devil!
"Thank you so much for your help during this time."
"Hmph, it's rare to hear words of thanks from you."
Mito Uzumaki's expression remained icy, but the corners of her mouth occasionally curled up, and she even couldn't help but hum softly, clearly indicating that she was in a very good mood.
Uchiha Nan glanced at Mito Uzumaki; why did this lonely old woman have such an arrogant air about her?
Old man, don't you know that being arrogant is outdated?
However, Uchiha Nan was too lazy to argue with Mito Uzumaki. He came to see Mito Uzumaki today not only because of the Sealing Jutsu, but also to resolve the matter of the Uzumaki Clan.
" Mito, next year, the Uzumaki Clan students will be leaving Konoha."
Time flies so fast. Two years have almost passed in the blink of an eye.
"When you're sending them back, remember to let me know. I'll personally see them off. Who knows how long it will be before we see each other again after they leave? I remember."
Mito Uzumaki's previously good mood suddenly turned gloomy, and she began to mutter to herself incessantly.
Uchiha Nan listened patiently to the Uzumaki Clan's rambling, then changed the subject.
"But the situation is a bit complicated now; some students may not be able to return to the Uzumaki Clan."
"What do you mean? What happened?!"
Mito Uzumaki raised her voice and looked at Uchiha Nan. Mito Uzumaki Uchiha Nan seemed to be plotting something.
"That's because of love, of course!"
"Nearly a third of the Uzumaki Clan have partners who are Konoha ninjas. If they leave Konoha next year, it means their relationships will become long-distance. So..."
"They collectively wrote me a petition, hoping to stay in Konoha from now on."
"Besides this reason, some Uzumaki Clan also wanted to stay in Konoha."
Of course, returning to Uzushio wouldn't be bad, but staying in Konoha would offer them a wider world of possibilities.
Uchiha Nan took a piece of paper out of his pocket and handed it to Mito Uzumaki.
The handwritten message on this piece of paper vividly expressed the Uzumaki Clan's longing for Konoha and their willingness to continue their studies Konoha, becoming a bond of friendship between the Uzumaki Clan and Konoha. It ended with a dense collection of red handprints.
"How so!"
Mito Uzumaki frowned; so many Uzumaki Clan were choosing to stay in Konoha.
The Mito Uzumaki instantly recalled the bloodline limit intermarriage plan that Uchiha Nan had mentioned in the past.
"You must have been behind this?"
"You've already set your sights on the Senju Clan, and now you're already targeting the Uzumaki Clan!"
Mito Uzumaki shouted at Uchiha Nan.
"Hey, hey, hey, you can eat whatever you want, but don't say whatever you want. The red handprints on this were left by the Uzumaki Clan themselves; I didn't force them."
"Everything is entirely voluntary!"
"I support freedom of love. Is it wrong for young people to be passionate and want to live with their partners?"
Konoha can provide the best living environment for the Uzumaki Clan. Is it wrong for the Uzumaki Clan to pursue a good and happy life?
" Mito Uzumaki, you don't want to break up this loving couple and shatter the romance of the Uzumaki Clan, do you?"
After finishing speaking, Uchiha Nan casually found a chair, crossed his legs, and looked at Mito Uzumaki.
Mito Uzumaki is a classic example of a woman who sides with outsiders. Whether it's the Uzumaki Clan or the Senju Clan, she will always ruthlessly turn the tables on them when it matters most.
Faced with Tobirama Senju's dying wish, Mito Uzumaki chose to elbow the Senju Clan, standing behind Hiruzen Sarutobi while muttering the nonsense of not taking sides.
The saying goes, "Loyalty that is not absolute is absolute disloyalty!"
Mito Uzumaki's actions were undoubtedly a betrayal of her son and the Senju Clan. Although Tobirama Senju wasn't much better.
In the original Hokage manga, they remained silent and watched the Uzumaki Clan be wiped out. Although it's possible that Konoha Konoha F4 concealed the news from Mito Uzumaki, they didn't seem to suffer any losses afterward, so it's likely they ultimately chose to remain silent.
However, Konoha like Mito Uzumaki was exactly what Uchiha Nan needed, so Uchiha Nan approached Mito Uzumaki with great confidence.
A few seconds later.
"I can't argue with you. What do you want to do about this, Uchiha Nan?"
Mito Uzumaki sighed. She couldn't stop Uchiha Nan from doing what he wanted. She hadn't even been able to protect the Senju Clan, and the Uzumaki Clan would probably not escape Uchiha Nan's clutches either.
Uchiha Nan's ability to manipulate people's hearts is truly too powerful.
The Senju Clan Members are vying to express their loyalty to Uchiha Nan, even though Uchiha Nan is an Uchiha, he still holds the title of Hokage Uchiha Nan.
Moreover, deep down, when Mito Uzumaki heard this news, she even wanted to applaud.
It wouldn't be so bad if the Uzumaki Clan were to join Konoha!
Konoha is a large and prosperous village, and if the Uzumaki Clan were to join Konoha, its future would undoubtedly be even more prosperous.
"Since the Uzumaki Clan wants to stay in Konoha, as the Hokage of Konoha, I would certainly welcome them wholeheartedly. The only problem to solve now is— Uzumaki Luwei might not be willing."
"Your status makes you more suitable to discuss this matter than I am; otherwise, Uzumaki Luwei will think I have ulterior motives towards the Uzumaki Clan."
Uchiha Nan spoke slowly.
The Uzumaki Clan, no matter what, are still Konoha's subordinates; we must be careful with our methods and approaches.
"Aren't you plotting against the Uzumaki Clan?"
Mito Uzumaki glanced at Uchiha Nan with disdain and said, "That bastard is as despicable as ever, trying to dump this job that offends the Uzumaki Clan on me."
"I reiterate, this petition was written by the Uzumaki Clan themselves, and they pressed their own handprints on it. I did not force them at all."
"However, I acknowledge their desire for love, freedom and democracy, and a better life, and I wholeheartedly support their decision!"
Uchiha Nan spoke with great emotion and appeared upright. Although his words were flawless, even Mito Uzumaki couldn't find a single mistake, Mito Uzumaki still felt that something was off.
"So, Mito-sama, are you confident you can complete this mission?"
Uchiha Nan said with a smile on his lips.
I'll do my best.
" Mito, you are not loyal enough to Konoha!"
Uchiha Nan had a serious expression on his face.
"Mission accomplished!"
Mito Uzumaki said through gritted teeth, cursing Uchiha Nan in her heart over and over again.
Uchiha Nan, you bastard, can't you even be a human being?!
"Tell me your thoughts..."
" Appeal to Emotion and reason. Brother Luwei isn't a stubborn person, or rather, his bottom line is much lower than you imagine. For the future of the Uzumaki Clan, he's been trying to bring you and Yangyue together."
Mito Uzumaki pursed her lips. She believed that Uzumaki Luwei would not refuse a marriage alliance between the Uzumaki Clan and Konoha bloodline clan, except for the Hyuga Clan. It wasn't that Uzumaki Luwei was unwilling, but rather that the Hyuga Clan was unwilling.
The Hyuga Clan Hyuga Clan an abnormal, almost perverse, way of protecting their Byakugan. They will only give in if the return on investment far outweighs the harm of losing their bloodline.
What a family that is dictatorial and oppressive internally, but flexible and uncompromising externally.
Mito Uzumaki had no intention of interfering with the Hyuga Clan's Caged Bird System. The fact that the Hyuga Clan has been able to pass it down to this day must mean that it has its own unique features.
But dislike is dislike.
"That's true. The bottom line of the Uzumaki Luwei seems to be much lower than I imagined. Yangyue is quite cute, I like her a lot... very moisturizing cough cough cough."
Sensing Mito Uzumaki's death stare, Uchiha Nan promptly shut his mouth.
"Hmph, Uchiha Nan, I hope you treat Yang Yue well. Ugh, and Tsunade too, or I won't let you off the hook."
Mito Uzumaki clenched her fist and waved it in front of Uchiha Nan.
Uchiha Nan, that scumbag, is really popular with young girls. Whether it's Uzumaki Yangyue, Tsunade, or... they've all been deceived by his mask of pretense.
"We're discussing official business now. When working, we must show respect to the Hokage, and refer to him as a plant!"
Uchiha Nan felt the topic was getting further and further off track, so he quickly moved on.
"Hmph, anyway, Shishio probably won't mind if the Uzumaki Clan stays in Konoha. Besides, you're not exactly rich, so if all else fails, you can just keep using your money."
Mito Uzumaki spoke with envy about Uchiha Nan's financial power.
If all else fails, we can just spend money; Konoha isn't short of cash anyway.
"Money is a small problem, but Konoha's money doesn't grow on trees."
I hope that through this petition, you can get Uzumaki Luwei to come and beg me to let the Uzumaki Clan stay in Konoha. After all, a deal that's too easy to get is not a good deal.
Mito Uzumaki stared wide-eyed at Uchiha Nan. "You're trying to sell yourself and then want a plaque to commemorate your chastity!"
"Why are you staring at me like that? It's true that the Uzumaki Clan wants to stay in Konoha. As the Hokage of Konoha, am I supposed to grovel and beg the Uzumaki Clan to Konoha?"
"My reputation is Konoha's reputation, and therefore your reputation."
" Uchiha Nan, you're even more shameless than I imagined."
" Mito, you are not loyal enough to Konoha!"
"Go to hell!"
night
Uchiha Nan finally persuaded Mito Uzumaki to resolve the Uzumaki Clan issue and then, as usual, visited Tobirama Senju in the underground laboratory, taking the opportunity to show him his Sealing Jutsu achievements. In order to learn this Sealing Jutsu, Uchiha Nan had been studying the Sealing Jutsu formulas day and night for a long time.
"You actually learned this Sealing Jutsu!"
Tobirama Senju sounded surprised, with a hint of displeasure in his expression, but Tobirama Senju quickly regained his cold demeanor and said in an indifferent tone:
"Too slow. Your talent is nothing special."
"Even the Sharingan of the Uchiha won't work?"
"Snort"
Faced with Tobirama Senju's sarcastic tone, Uchiha Nan simply snorted and didn't take it to heart.
"How is the progress of the Puppet Army of the Moryo?"
"This monster, more than a month has passed, Tobirama, you still haven't dealt with it?"
I have reason to suspect you're slacking off!
Uchiha Nan inquired about the Moryo, mentioning that it was about to snow, and that the work efficiency of both ninjas and ordinary people would be greatly reduced in cold environments of minus four or five degrees Celsius, or even ten degrees Celsius.
We can't really risk human lives to meet a deadline!
Unless absolutely necessary, Uchiha Nan is reluctant to do this kind of thing.
All you ever do is nag."
Tobirama Senju took out a crystal ball, its surface radiating a purple light. Inside were fragments of the soul of the Moryo, but the Moryo was now curled up in a ball, seemingly asleep.
Uchiha Nan sensed the Miko's Chakra through the crystal ball.
" The Miko's Chakra is special. Through the power left behind in Miko amulet, combined with the technique I developed, and your Mangekyō Sharingan's power, I put the Moryo into a deep sleep and stole its power. However, the Moryo is currently only a fragment; it is not complete. To completely seize the Moryo's power and control all the puppet soldiers, you must obtain the whole Moryo."
Tobirama Senju introduced his research findings, Uchiha Nan beamed with delight, finally getting free labor to do the dirty work!
"However, obtaining a whole Moryo is not an easy task; the Miko of the Land of Demons have guarded the Moryo for generations."
According to your information, the current Miko has sealed away the Moryo, and persuading Miko to break the seal won't be easy.
"I will handle this matter. The Miko's mission can end with this generation."
"If the Miko wants to be dignified, then let her be dignified. If she doesn't want to be dignified, then there's nothing I can do but use my Sharingan to persuade her."
"Don't go too far."
I know what I'm doing.
Uchiha Nan nodded, and then discussed the plan to capture Black Zetsu with Tobirama Senju. They needed to devise a meticulous plan to ensure a successful strike.
The meticulous and ruthless Tobirama Senju was very familiar with this kind of thing. In the Warring States Period, before Konoha was established, every ambush against the Uchiha was planned by Tobirama Senju behind the scenes, causing the Uchiha to suffer great losses.
"You've come to the right person. I have a few special Ninjutsu specifically designed for ambushes. However, considering Black Zetsu's mastery of concealment techniques and Yin-Yang Release, I need to modify these Ninjutsu. First, the ambush location is crucial; secondly..."
When finishing off an opponent, never talk too much; be quick, accurate, and ruthless.
"Back then, I led the Senju Clan in an ambush against the Uchiha... cough cough cough."
Tobirama Senju Uchiha Nan, prompting Uchiha Nan to clap his hands in admiration.
I forgot to set the timer.
