The Inside Story

"It seems to be working well!"

In the distance, when Uchiha Yue used his Purple Eye to perceive the expressions of Minato Namikaze, Kushina Uzumaki Uchiha Yue, and the Kushina Uzumaki, a smile gradually appeared on his usually calm face. Then, continuing to observe Minato Namikaze expressions, he thought to himself, "The first step of the plan has succeeded. Now the entire Uchiha Yue Shinobi World knows that I'm going to challenge Kirigakure."

"I'm afraid those guys inside Kirigakure are starting to get restless, aren't they?"

"Furthermore, as the Fourth Mizukage, do you also feel the pressure?"

Thinking this to himself, the smile on Uchiha Yue's lips deepened even further.

Immediately afterwards...

After taking a deep breath, Uchiha Yue continued to think silently to himself:

"Now that the first step has been successful, it's time to move on to my second step."

"Minato, Kushina, Mr. Choza, Mr. Inoichi, I'm so sorry."

"For my mother's sake, I have no choice but to ask you to make this sacrifice!"

"Because..."

"Only you can help me convey my will to Konoha!"

Thinking of this, Uchiha Yue, who was still using his Purple Eye eyes to Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, finally felt a pang of guilt. Clearly, if it weren't for his mother, Minako, Uchiha Yue Uchiha Yue n't want Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki to go through so much trouble for him. However, he knew that rescuing his mother was no longer something he could do alone. Therefore, when considering his plan to rescue his mother, Uchiha Yue, he already wanted to seek support from Konoha Minako.

The reason why Uchiha Yue support from Konoha was because he had recently come to understand something.

That was the true purpose behind Kirigakure's desire to obtain Minako, the mother of Uchiha Yue!

On the surface, Kirigakure's desire to acquire Minako Uchiha Yue's mother, appears to be for the Uzumaki Bloodline. This reason is plausible, as Kekkei Genkai are something all ninja villages in the Shinobi World covet. The physical attributes of the Uzumaki Clan members have always been a source of madness for countless Shinobi World villages. Therefore, when Uchiha Yue learned that his mother, Minako, had been sent to Kirigakure, his first thought was that Uchiha Yue wanted to study the Kirigakure Uzumaki Bloodline power.

However, after causing a ruckus in the Land of Water, Uchiha Yue Uchiha Yue, having calmed down somewhat, suddenly realized that things might not be as simple as he had imagined.

The reason why Uchiha Yue had such thoughts was because of the Fourth Mizukage of Kirigakure, Yagura!

The Fourth Mizukage of Kirigakure, Yagura, was the Jinchuriki of the Three-Tails Isobu, and was also one of the Jinchuriki in the Shinobi World who could perfectly control the Tailed Beast within him.

It was simply impossible for the Fourth Mizukage, Shikura Yagura control of the Three-Tails Isobu, within him. Therefore, when Konoha and Kirigakure had just reached an agreement, the people of Konoha already knew Kirigakure's true purpose. However, the Third Hokage of Konoha, or the members of the Konoha Council of Elders, did not know the original plot of this world like Uchiha Yue did.

In the original story, the identity of the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, is not as simple as that of the Three-Tails Isobu Jinchuriki the Fourth Mizukage.

The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, truly represented Uchiha Madara!

Long ago, Uchiha Madara had already infiltrated Kirigakure and used his eyes to control the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura.

Therefore, when Uchiha Yue recalled this point, he suddenly realized that his previous considerations had been somewhat simplistic.

Did Uchiha Madara, who stood proudly at the pinnacle of the true Shinobi World, really need the power of the Uzumaki Clan's bloodline?

Why would Uchiha Madara, who already possessed the Hashirama Cells First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, need the power of the Uzumaki Clan's bloodline?

Following this line of thought, Uchiha Yue dismissed all his previous speculations.

It was at that moment that Uchiha Yue suddenly realized that what Uchiha Madara, or even the Fourth Hokage Yagura, truly needed was not the power of the Uzumaki Clan's bloodline.

Similarly, if they don't need the power of the Uzumaki Clan's bloodline, why would they use Minako, Uchiha Yue's mother, as a bargaining chip?

At this point, the answer may become quite simple.

That's right...

The Fourth Mizukage 'Yagura true purpose, or perhaps Uchiha Madara's, was not to need Uchiha Yue's mother, but rather Uchiha Yue!

Uchiha Madara, possessing a terrifying mind, had long ago, based on reliable intelligence, guessed that after Minako, Uchiha Yue's mother, was sent to Kirigakure, Uchiha Yue would go berserk. And when Uchiha Yue went berserk, either Konoha would suppress Uchiha Yue, preventing him from going to rescue his mother, Minako, Uchiha Yue would break with Uchiha Yue and go to Kirigakure Konoha Minako his mother.

Regardless of the outcome, Uchiha Madara can be considered a winner.

If Konoha were to stop Uchiha Yue, causing a rift between Uchiha Yue and the Konoha, Uchiha Madara could simply wait for an opportunity to abduct him, just as he abducted Uchiha Yue in the original story. If Uchiha Yue and went to Uchiha Obito to rescue his mother, Konoha, things would become even simpler. Minako could then appear before Kirigakure as his savior after Uchiha Yue's Uchiha Madara attempt to rescue his Uchiha Yue. At that point, Uchiha Madara would feel even more confident in winning Uchiha Yue.

After all, he was Uchiha Madara, one of the two strongest Shinobi World back then!

Immediately afterwards...

After Uchiha Yue figured out the key point of the matter, he realized that he had already appeared within Uchiha Madara's line of sight.

At the same time, Uchiha Yue also discovered that the conspiracy he had been drawn into was entirely orchestrated by Uchiha Madara, the mastermind behind it all.

At that moment, Uchiha Yue, who had just come to his senses, felt anger. He even wanted to storm into Kirigakure, rescue his mother Minako, and then kill the heavily injured Uchiha Madara. However, after Uchiha Yue calmed down a bit, he realized that his thoughts were too realistic. In any case, Uchiha Yue, coming alone to rescue his mother Minako, seemed somewhat outnumbered and vulnerable.

Especially with Madara Uchiha in Kirigakure Uchiha Madara, Uchiha Yue would need to rely on other forces to rescue his mother, Minako.

For example, the power of the Uchiha Clan.

For example, the power of Konoha!

And so, Uchiha Yue prepared to show himself and have a proper talk with Minato Namikaze and the others within the range of his Purple Eye.

Of course, Uchiha Yue didn't want Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki to help him; rather, he wanted to have a proper talk with Minato Namikaze. Soon after, when Kushina Uzumaki Uchiha Yue appeared before Minato Namikaze Kushina Uzumaki Kushina Uzumaki, they represented not just themselves, but the entire Konoha.

Now, Uchiha Yue has appeared with the intention of making a deal!

A deal with Konoha, the number one ninja village in the Shinobi World!
