Sexy Female Ninja

Uchiha Gento took in the expressions of everyone present.

He knew that with Danzo providing such an assist, his ability to analyze politics had already gained the preliminary approval of the Hokage.

He continued, speaking up:

"The war against Kirigakure in the east is likewise nothing to fear."

"Although Kirigakure has achieved victories on local battlefields, how many more ninja can they afford to expend?"

"The Mizukage of Kirigakure enforces the Bloody Mist Policy, using a survival-of-the-fittest method to select ninja. While this can indeed produce outstanding ninja in the short term, such a long-term practice will inevitably lead to a sharp decline in their total numbers."

"Therefore, I conclude that the offensive from Kirigakure is already at the end of its strength; it won't be long before they withdraw their forces voluntarily!"

Gento's assertion sparked another round of hushed discussion.

On the battlefield, when has the side with the advantage ever voluntarily retreated?

But recalling how Danzo had just been slapped down, no one dared to jump out and question him.

Instead, Mitokado Homura adjusted his glasses and asked cautiously:

"According to you, the Land of Lightning, the Land of Water, and the Land of Earth are all of no concern. Does this mean Konoha can end the Third Shinobi World War without doing anything further?"

Gento shook his head at this:

"No, there is one more major village that poses a threat to us, and that is Sunagakure of the Land of Wind!"

"Pfft... Hahahaha, do you even know what you're saying, you Uchiha brat?"

"In your eyes, the powerful Land of Lightning and Land of Water pose no threat, but the weakest Land of Wind does?"

Danzo finally couldn't hold back after hearing Gento's speculation and jumped out once again.

"You aren't worried about the other powerful villages, yet you fear the weakest Sunagakure? Uchiha brat, are you talking in your sleep?"

It was no wonder Danzo lost his composure.

Among the Five Great Nations, the Land of Wind had the harshest environment, and with its lack of resources, the number of ninja it could support was limited.

Therefore, Sunagakure had always been regarded as a weak nation.

However, Gento, who knew the plot in advance, understood well that the most inconspicuous opponents could become the most fatal variables.

In his memory, the iconic event marking the end of the Third Shinobi World War was precisely the Battle of Kikyo Pass initiated by Sunagakure against Konoha.

The so-called Battle of Kikyo Pass was a sneak attack launched by Sunagakure on the Konoha outpost at Kikyo Pass while the village was caught off guard.

The original work did not detail the specific records of the war.

Although the battle eventually ended in a victory for Konoha, Gento was certain that it was a pyrrhic victory.

Because the original work vaguely mentioned that Sunagakure had once pushed all the way to the outskirts of Konoha.

It was also during this battle that Yakushi Kabuto was sent to Konoha as a spy by Sasori of the Red Sands.

Supported by the original plot, Gento spoke with great confidence.

He addressed Danzo directly:

"If you, Danzo, think Sunagakure is no threat, it is only because of your ignorance and incompetence!"

"I truly don't know where all the funding the village allocates to your Root goes; how could you miss such vital intelligence?"

"If you ask me, if you, Danzo, are going to take the funding and do nothing, you might as well resign from your post and let the village allocate the budget to us Uchiha. We Uchiha would certainly do a better job than you!"

Provoked by Gento, Danzo's chest heaved violently with rage.

"You wretched Uchiha brat! You... you..."

Gento didn't give him a chance to say more, cutting him off directly:

"I am telling you, I, Uchiha Gento, am certain that Sunagakure will launch a sneak attack on our Land of Fire, and the location is very likely the Kikyo Pass outpost on the border."

"If the defensive line collapses due to your negligence, Danzo, can you bear that responsibility?"

As soon as Gento finished speaking, Hiruzen's pupils constricted.

Because yesterday, he had indeed received a scroll of intelligence from the Anbu, and the ninja who submitted it claimed that there were traces of enemy ninja near Kikyo Pass.

But because there was no further substantial evidence, the danger level was ultimately set to only C-rank.

Hiruzen hadn't paid much attention to it and had simply tossed the report aside.

Now, according to Gento's analysis, could there be a hidden agenda behind this?

On the other side, Danzo, who had wanted to berate Gento, saw Hiruzen's expression and immediately felt a sense of foreboding.

What did that look on Hiruzen's face mean?

Could it be that this wretched Uchiha brat was right again?

Sure enough, Hiruzen spoke slowly:

"I did indeed receive intelligence yesterday submitted by an Anbu ninja stationed near Kikyo Pass, mentioning that there appeared to be traces of enemy ninja in the vicinity."

The conference room fell into a dead silence once more.

Danzo's face turned ashen.

The gazes of the others toward Uchiha Gento shifted from their initial disdain to gravity, and even wariness.

After all, while the combat prowess of the Uchiha was formidable, most of them lacked the brains to match, so there was no need to fear them.

However, now that a young Uchiha with such a sharp mind had suddenly emerged, they could not help but be cautious.

Even Hiruzen felt a sense of helplessness.

Was this child named Uchiha Gento truly an Uchiha?

If he hadn't seen Uchiha Gento's Sharingan with his own eyes, he would have suspected that a child from the Nara clan had been swapped at birth.

The meeting eventually concluded in a subtle, tense atmosphere.

The major ninja clans were impatient to verify the truth of what Uchiha Gento had said during the meeting.

Uchiha Gento walked home, his thoughts racing.

He must have left a deep impression on the Konoha high-ups by now.

The next step was to wait for the situation to ferment, then seize the opportunity to garner merit to support his bid to become the Uchiha clan head.

Of course, before the battle at Kikyo Mountain fully unfolded, the most important thing he needed to do was improve his own strength.

To earn merit on the battlefield, personal strength was indispensable.

To serve as the head of the Uchiha clan, one needed at least the power of a near-Kage level.

His current strength was merely that of an ordinary Jonin.

And for now, wanting to rapidly increase his strength still required completing system missions.

A female ninja willing to engage in dual cultivation with me... who should I look for?

Thinking this, he had already arrived back at his home.

No sooner had he reached home than a knock sounded at the door.

An Anbu stood outside:

"Uchiha Gento, the Hokage summons you."

Uchiha Gento grew thoughtful upon hearing this.

A summons from the Hokage?

He dared not delay and quickly headed to the Hokage's office.

"Uchiha Gento reporting to the Hokage!"

"Oh, Gento is here."

Hiruzen set down the intelligence report in his hand.

"Your analysis at the meeting just now was truly brilliant."

"The Hokage overpraises me; political analysis is exactly what we Uchiha excel at."

Even with Hiruzen's remarkable composure, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth upon hearing Uchiha Gento's reply.

I praise you a little and you start getting ahead of yourself?

If someone from the Nara clan said that, he might believe it.

The Uchiha? Forget it.

He stopped wasting time with Uchiha Gento, instead taking out a mission scroll and handing it to him with a solemn expression:

"Since you pointed out the hidden dangers regarding Kikyo Mountain, I have decided to send you to the vicinity of Kikyo Mountain to conduct a detailed intelligence investigation."

"The rank of this mission is: S-rank!"

Uchiha Gento felt a slight chill in his heart as he took it with both hands.

"Of course, considering you have just been promoted to Jonin and have not yet formed a suitable squad, I have already arranged a partner for you."

As he spoke, Hiruzen turned his head toward the door and said:

"Come in."

The door was pushed open.

A female ninja with a graceful figure walked inside.

Uchiha Gento looked over, his eyes lighting up involuntarily.

The female ninja was dressed in a tight-fitting combat suit, the fabric clinging to every curve of her body, rising and falling gently with her breath, her full silhouette faintly visible.

The combat suit was neatly cinched at the high waist, outlining a slender waistline that made it look even more alluring.

The hip-hugging miniskirt she wore below also clung tightly to the curves of her waist and hips, the hem stopping at mid-thigh, revealing long, snow-white legs as she walked.

Most striking were her eyes—crimson pupils, clear yet containing a soft, lazy charm; as her gaze shifted, there was a natural, unique allure to her.

She was like a vibrant rose, making one want to ravage her fiercely.

Uchiha Gento suppressed the waves in his heart, thinking: The target for unlocking the "More Children, More Blessings" system... hasn't she just arrived?
