Uchiha: Madara? This wave is stable!

"Something's wrong with the Uchiha Clan!"

"What's wrong?"

"They gathered together, apparently got into a dispute, and then were taken away..."

"Go and report to the magistrate!"

They immediately realized that something was wrong within the Uchiha, but just as they were about to act, they stopped.

"Go that way, there are people here."

One of them concealed his aura and, guided by the Byakugan, quickly left from the direction opposite to the Uchiha Clan's patrol route.

This intelligence is crucial!

Uncertainty could arise within the next few days for the Uchiha to change; we must not be careless at such a crucial moment.

These two members of the Branch House had received rigorous training in the Anbu and naturally knew how to handle the situation. They quickly and quietly sneaked back to the Konoha Anbu base.

Inside the base, Kakashi was processing various documents, while Kyohiko took the Nine-Tails clone for a stroll and also went to talk to Yamashiro Aoba about something.

but.

Nine-Tails was clearly not happy, sitting on Kyohiko's shoulder and complaining, "They call it freedom, but I'm practically sealed inside!"

"There are still differences."

Kyohiko answered.

Nine-Tails Fox tilted its head, its claws itching to strike. "What's the difference?"

"Given the current situation, if you operate outside, you might be captured by the Uchiha and Madara's subordinates, and then you won't be free anymore."

Kyohiko answered calmly.

Nine-Tails's face darkened.

spot?

Uchiha?

Isn't that nonsense?

If they don't take action, will I have to be kept around like this for the rest of my life?

That would be better than sealing it inside Kushina's body!

Just as it was about to speak, a thought suddenly struck it, and it hurriedly asked, "You mean, the Uchiha Clan might have made contact with Madara?"

"A small percentage is possible."

Kyohiko nodded slightly.

The Nine-Tails was excited.

Will Madara come?

"Unlikely. I suspect that Madara Uchiha is either now Chakra life form, having lost much of his fighting ability, or he is already very old..."

Kyohiko squinted. "He's probably looking for Obito to cultivate a spokesperson."

"So, Madara won't be coming this time, what a pity."

The Nine-Tails perched on my shoulder, its previous excitement gone.

It has an extremely high enthusiasm for beating up Madara Uchiha, but Obito or the other Uchiha...

Then I'll lose interest.

Mainly.

Kyohiko Yoshimine wouldn't even bother with those small fry; there's nothing to be happy about.

"Madara won't come, but Uchiha... on that day, you'll have a chance to contribute."

"Okay, okay!"

Nine-Tails' eyes lit up upon hearing this.

Not only can they go out for walks, but they can also kill Uchiha members?

That's great!

It's hard to suppress the excitement.

How can I cooperate with you?

"No need to cooperate. Just act like a normal Nine-Tails, and I'll handle everything else."

Kyohiko said calmly.

Nine-Tails instantly perked up, its little head already contemplating how to entertain the Uchiha clan members connected to Madara!

Outside the base.

In the Forest of Death, near the ape base, Yamashiro Aoba's whistles constantly changed, mimicking various bird calls, and not far away...

A flock of black crows is fighting with the apes.

The apes of today have developed greater combat intelligence. Although they don't yet know how to use Ninjutsu, they have already learned to cooperate and use simple Ninja Tools.

But at the same time.

The crows in the sky are also evolving their combat intelligence, especially when Yamashiro Aoba is directing them with whistles. They move nimbly, fighting in groups and swooping down to launch surprise attacks, coordinating seamlessly.

I heard footsteps.

Yamashiro Aoba immediately used a whistle to command them to fly higher and further away from hiding.

Turning around, he saw Kyohiko, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Kyohiko?"

Although they still meet and gather in the village every now and then, as their power grows and their affairs become more complex...

The intervals between gatherings are actually getting longer.

Most of the time, it's impossible to get everyone together; someone is on a mission or someone else is out in the field. Kyohiko is even busier, having to handle a ton of tasks every day.

He's training the Ninja Birds here.

Most of those who came were members of other Anbu; this was the first time Kyohiko had come in several months...

"A mission?"

"It's a small task, related to what you're doing now."

Kyohiko shared his thoughts.

Using the Ninja Birds Summoning Contract as the core, we will further optimize the existing intelligence system.

If possible, Konoha's intelligence network could directly transmit and gather intelligence through a group of Ninja Birds.

Without a doubt.

At this stage, the crow under Yamashiro Aoba's command is the most suitable.

Upon hearing this, Yamashiro Aoba's eyes gleamed.

Ninja Beast System!

Previously, he had considered uniting these crows through Summoning Contract, but he abandoned the idea due to financial resources, technical limitations, and practical needs.

Unexpectedly, Yamashiro Aoba didn't need it, but Kyohiko took the initiative to bring it up, and further expanded and deepened the utilization and planning of the Ninja Birds.

Intelligence transmission.

This is indeed a good idea.

even--

"If the technology advances, we can also use the relationship between the Ninja Birds and their clan, and the contract, as a medium to use Reverse Summoning Technique to bring the Ninja Birds and humans back directly."

The Iburi Clan is currently the main force in intelligence work.

Their ability to Smoke Transformation allows them to easily possess Ninja Birds, but it's unclear whether such possession can be recalled using the Reverse Summoning Jutsu.

The Yamashiro Aoba were filled with surging emotions.

He had never imagined that the crows he had raised would one day hold such important significance. After much consideration and reflection, he felt some unease...

I'm afraid the crows I raise aren't strong enough.

"You don't need to worry about that. As the functionality is further enhanced, I will definitely provide you with some additional assistance. First, there's Orochimaru- senpai, who has some experience in raising Ninja Beast. Second, there's the Inuzuka Clan..."

The Inuzuka Clan.

The only clan in Konoha that currently possesses the technology to raise Ninja Beast.

In a sense, Kyohiko to have Yamashiro Aoba and Orochimaru research Ninja Beast and Ninja Birds would threaten the interests of the Inuzuka Clan. The previous small-scale use and experiments were harmless.

But.

If this is implemented on a large scale, the interests of the Inuzuka Clan must certainly be taken into account.

Furthermore, once the Uchiha Clan is defeated, their Ninja Cat will definitely need to be utilized.

At that time, a new and highly sought-after profession will surely emerge in Konoha.

Veterinary!

What a coincidence.

The Inuzuka Clan are also experts in this area, but currently their veterinarians are limited to their own Ninja Hound and are not yet as specialized in other breeds.

However, communicating with beasts should be second nature to the Inuzuka Clan.

Even if you're not skilled...

Kurokawa can also help.

As a special Sage Body, Kurokawa's abilities have been steadily increasing along with the development of his physical strength and Chakra, Jonin without much difficulty.

However, once he unleashes his power, he cannot perfectly control himself, and Konoha is currently very strong, so there is no need for Kurokawa to take risks and expose another of Konoha's trump cards.

so.

Kurokawa has been staying in Konoha's Anbu during this time.

He remained in the Anbu mainly because he was prone to going berserk and couldn't perfectly control his Senjutsu Chakra.

This process requires continuous practice and cannot be accomplished overnight.

But without a doubt, he is also a formidable fighting force.

These people, including the Inuzuka Clan, must be utilized, and after the Uchiha incident is successfully detonated...

There is indeed such an opportunity.

Police Force.

For the Uchiha, the Police Force wasn't a particularly desirable power, but it was different if other clans and commoners joined together to form a joint Police Force.

A group of ninjas from clans and commoner backgrounds, who also harbor hatred towards the Uchiha —then the Uchiha really isn't suited to be part of the Police Force...

Kyohiko sorted out his thoughts and then looked up at Yamashiro Kiyono.

After considering it for a long time, Yamashiro Aoba said, "If that's the case, I can give it a try."

"Good."

Kyohiko nodded, and then gave some instructions, asking the other party to come up with a specific plan on how to coordinate, divide, and assign tasks.

As for Summoning Jutsu, Reverse Summoning Jutsu, and the Inuzuka Clan, he'll handle those.

Just then, a broken bamboo strip appeared in his hand.

This was sent by Kakashi.

Kakashi, while not yet having mastered the complete Flying Thunder God, has little trouble using Shadow Clone for short-range information transmission.

It's prone to cracking and damage, but as long as it's delivered, it's fine.

Kyohiko grabbed the Nine-Tails clone and vanished on the spot with a Flying Thunder God Technique.

Inside the office, Chikakazu Hyuga was reporting on what he had witnessed.

Kyohiko listened quietly until the end.

After the other party finished reporting, he asked, "Who is the leader of the Uchiha Clan?"

"Judging from their Chakra and height, it should be Fugaku Uchiha and Shisui Uchiha, but I can't be sure."

Chikakazu Hyuga answered respectfully.

Kyohiko nodded slightly.

Shisui, Fugaku.

Forget about the latter.

Based on his understanding of Fugaku, he knew that guy definitely didn't have that kind of guts.

So, it was made by Shisui?

Kyohiko was secretly surprised, and then couldn't help but feel a little worried.

He already had a plan in mind regarding the Uchiha; now all that was left was to detonate it and close the net.

Could Shisui have ruined his plans?

He looked at Kakashi: "Write this down, we'll deal with it together when I get back."

At this time, people were urgently gathered in two locations within the Uchiha Clan Compound.

Fugaku, standing on high ground, observed everything with the help of his Ninja Beast.

Not long after.

"Master."

A person appeared behind him.

"How about the Yashiro Uchiha?"

"We've already notified them. Besides, is it really necessary to be this cautious?"

"Of course, you see."

Fugaku points into the distance.

Looking down, the Yashiro Uchiha could only see a surge of family members in the distance. Although many had concealed their presence, they were still not difficult to spot upon closer inspection...

They headed towards Shinji Uchiha's house.

Shinji Uchiha.

Yashiro Uchiha frowned, and said with displeasure, "What is this guy trying to do?"

"Our family was at a crossroads; they chose one path, and we chose another."

Fugaku said in a low voice.

Yashiro Uchiha paused for a moment, then nodded.

"I see!"

Let's go.

Another location, by the lake.

Shisui recounted her situation to Kyohiko in detail, and Kyohiko breathed a slight sigh of relief after hearing her description.

Fine!

It did not affect the overall situation; in fact, to some extent, it greatly contributed to the overall situation that Konoha needed!

The Shisui, just like a fishing spot being dug.

Although it startled the snake, it also attracted the fish.

but.

What surprised him was--

The progress made by Shisui is truly astonishing!

Previously, he only had two Tomoe, but now he has already awakened Mitsudomoe. His physical abilities and Chakra are much stronger than before.

The Uchiha Clan's Kekkei Genkai is far superior to that of ordinary people!

certainly.

The main reason is that Shisui is clever.

Kyohiko gave the other person a deep look and said, "Don't make too many moves afterward. Let Fugaku handle it. Also... be careful!"

You mean...?

Shisui frowned.

Who would kill him?

"If it were just them, they definitely wouldn't have the guts. But now, in a way, we're not fighting against these useless fools, but someone who seems to be Madara Uchiha. So you need to be careful!"

Kyohiko explained.

Madara and Shisui had no kinship whatsoever. Shisui Uchiha, or even if the entire Uchiha clan were destroyed.

"I see."

A hint of melancholy flickered in Shisui's eyes.

People of the same race face each other!

At present, this step seems unavoidable.

If the family is not purged, the entire family may be implicated, but now, at least they can take the initiative.

With this in mind, Shisui gradually became more resolute.

He did not betray.

Instead...

There is absolutely no future in following the so-called "Madara Uchiha".

"Lord Madara! Is it really that person?"

Everyone gasped in surprise.

Xinzhi nodded slightly.

"Absolutely right, the other side sent a special clone, but they know many Uchiha secrets; the real body should be Madara Uchiha."

"It's Madara..."

"Very good!"

"Conquer Konoha!"

Everyone got excited.

Back then, almost no one could defeat Madara except for Hashirama Senju!

Times have changed.

Hashirama Senju is dead, and only "Little Hashirama" remains. How could he possibly be a match for Madara Uchiha!

"Just keep this to yourselves, don't spread it around, understand?"

Shinji Uchiha gave these instructions.

Only a few elders present shared his reluctance to follow Konoha.

From the beginning, everyone had intended to betray Konoha, and now Shinji has simply unveiled that secret.

There was much discussion among the crowd, and then the elders left satisfied, promising to help Xinzhi stabilize the situation.

but...

Not long after they left.

Why did you tell them?

A voice suddenly rang out from behind him.

Shinji Uchiha shuddered, then noticed the dark figure behind him twisting.

He immediately knelt down.

"My lord, I had no choice!"

"Oh?"

Black Zetsu sneered, "I'd like to hear just how desperate you were!"

Shinji Uchiha quickly recounted the events of the day, mentioning some recent developments, before looking up and saying, "Sir, I have a feeling that Fugaku might be planning to make a move!"

According to Shinji Uchiha's thinking, it was natural to strike first.

so.

He hopes...

If Ban has any preparations, help them complete their "rebellion" as soon as possible!

No need to rush.

Black Zetsu chuckled lightly, "Remember this technique."

As he spoke, he tossed down a scroll.

Xinzhi took it.

Above it is an Unsealing Seal and a special Talisman.

"Lord Madara suspects that Nine-Tails may have been bound by Contract Seal and some other Sealing Technique, and this seal can help break the seal."

"Yes! I understand!"

Shinji Uchiha was overjoyed.

Black Zetsu said coldly, "Let me finish!"

"Yes, I'm sorry..."

"Place this Talisman inside your Kotetsu. It can suppress his words and actions, preventing him from ruining our important plans again."

"Understood, sir! Thank you, sir!"

Shinji Uchiha doubts about him.

Such control-like Talisman may not exist within the Uchiha, but it's not surprising that Madara, who has survived to this day, possessed this technology.

"Um."

Black Zetsu has vanished.

Shinji Uchiha breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face after leaving the basement.

It's done!
