The Artisan Ninja Plan
"I am already over sixty years old. To resurrect the progenitor, I need to sacrifice myself. At my age, it is only right for me to sacrifice myself. Otherwise, my descendants will have to do it."
"Inabi the progenitor requires a massive amount of Chakra and will be dangerous. You need to think it through carefully."
Although Jonin Baogui is obsessed with reviving the progenitor, he has already become a powerful ninja in Yuho City after staying Land of Tea for so long.
I have a good understanding of Uchiha Seki, the lord of Yuho City, and Uchiha Hyaku, the Jonin Class Leader. These two leaders are simple-minded people who are focused on building the city and never engage in any underhanded tactics.
Furthermore, within the Yuho City, there are also the survivors of Uzushio Village, who, like others, have fallen on hard times Uzushio Village and Artisan Village both possess special skills and were similarly destroyed by mysterious ninjas.
Ever since Uzumaki Jonin of the Uzumaki Clan, brought some of the Uzumaki's young Genin to join the Yuho City, the Uzumaki and Artisan Ninja have become natural friends.
Furthermore, the Uzumaki Clan had a very good relationship with the city lord, the Uchiha, and held many important positions in the Yuho City. They trained many disciples skilled in Fuinjutsu for the city, and the clan completely controlled the Yuho City's Department of Defense and Barrier Team.
"No need for further words, Baogui. I, Uchiha Inabi to help you revive your progenitor."
Uchiha Inabi greatly admired and respected the Baogui, and even more so, she longed to pay homage to their Founder of the Artisan Ninjas.
"Hahaha, very good, very good! With your help, Inabi, success is sure to be swift! However, it would be best to discuss these matters with Lord Shi, the city lord!"
Baogui Turtle did not provide details on how much Chakra was needed to revive the progenitor.
"Okay! I'll go back and discuss it with Shi right away!"
Uchiha Inabi threw down his hammer, wiped the sweat off his body with a burlap sack from a large vat beside him, and headed toward the Lord's Mansion.
"Father, if I remember correctly, reviving the progenitor requires the Chakra of Tailed Beast, right? If it's Inabi, although his Chakra is enormous, he might die from overconsumption."
Kisen watched Inabi's departing figure, then turned to the Baogui beside him and said something. The other Artisan Ninja also stopped what they were doing.
"If more people could transfer Chakra together, it would be good, with Inabi as the main one. This way, Inabi's life wouldn't be in danger, and the progenitor could be resurrected."
After my sacrifice, Kisen, you must inherit my name, assist the progenitor, and carry on the legacy of the Artisan Ninja.
Although Baogui had designs on Inabi, he did not intend to harm Inabi. Otherwise, they would have been eliminated by the Uchiha and the Lord of Yuho City.
"Oh, in that case, it shouldn't be a problem. I've heard that the Uchiha are the most powerful clan in the Shinobi World, and they hold a high position of power in Konohagakure Village in the Land of Fire. We can't afford to offend a clan like that."
Kisen is in his thirties. In the seven or eight years he has lived in Yuho City, he has come to love the peaceful environment and beautiful scenery here, and he also has a good understanding of the situation in the Shinobi World.
"Yes, the Uchiha Clan is the royal family of Yuho City. With such a ninja clan to rely on, we, the Artisan Ninja, will definitely not repeat the same mistakes."
Baogui nodded, agreeing with his son Kisen's words.
Yuho City
Lord's Mansion
"Baogui, huh? That fellow is no honest man. I had a very strong impression of him when I invited him here back then; I can't forget him."
Uchiha Seki expressed doubt upon hearing Inabi's words about resurrecting the progenitor.
"Those were the past, and now is the present. The weapons of our Yuho City, as well as the Chakra Armor and divine weapons sent to the clan, were all forged by Baogui and the others. They made numerous contributions. Brother Shi, please don't dwell on such trivial matters from the past."
Inabi showed great respect for the Baogui, calling him "an adult" on both sides. He was enthusiastic about helping Artisan Ninja revive the progenitor, showing a determination to help him to the very end.
"Hmm, alright, I'll consult with Lord Naraku about this. Also, Inabi, you've come at the right time. There are two important missions that require your assistance; please choose one to carry out."
First, send the death row inmates from Yuho City to Qingcha Town in the Land of Fire. This is a mission issued by Naraku. Once you arrive, contact Hayata using the Ninja Cat.
Secondly, on an island near the Land of Tea, Jonin Uzumaki Hibiki found a lost member of their clan. More importantly, the island is home to many powerful Summoning Beast, and Lord Naraku issued a special mission to them.
You choose one; the other will be carried out by other elite members of the tribe."
Uchiha Seki was at a loss as to what to do about Inabi's obsession with forging ninja tools. He had tried to persuade her and reason with her, but fortunately, Inabi completed the task quite efficiently, so no one dared to say anything more.
Of course, the most important thing was to report this matter to the clan chief Naraku. The clan chief replied without saying much, only saying to let Inabi act freely and follow his own wishes.
"I accept! I'm going to Qingcha Town. It's been a long time since I've seen the clan leader! Since the clan leader has become Hokage, I'll go directly to him to ask about the Jonin Baogui. I'll prepare and then set off."
Inabi paused, her previously brisk words trailing off. Her relaxed demeanor turned serious, and she gave Ishi a look. Uchiha Seki narrowed his eyes and nodded slightly. The two exchanged glances, seemingly noticing something amiss.
As Uchiha Inabi and Uchiha Seki mobilized their Chakra, a familiar voice rang out from outside the door.
"Don't be nervous, it's me."
Uchiha Zensui walked in from outside.
"Brother Zensui?"
"Zensui?"
Inabi and Shi breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the newcomer. Sensing someone lurking nearby, the two were just about to make their move to capture him.
The two were somewhat surprised to see Zensui enter, as they had not received any orders or messages from Naraku saying that someone would be sent here.
"Zensui, what secret mission do you have?"
Uchiha Seki was surprised and suspicious of the visit from Zensui, the captain of the clan chief's personal guard.
"No missions, I'm on vacation, so I'm just taking a stroll around Yuho City."
Zensui Uchiha Zensui explained softly. Zensui had an unshaven face, empty eyes, and a poor complexion. He lacked the refinement and composure he displayed when he served as Naraku's bodyguard.
Inabi frowned slightly as he looked at Zensui's unkempt face with a stubble. In his memory, both the clan leader Naraku and the Guard Corps, Zensui, were very refined and concerned about their appearance.
"Zensui, what happened to you? You look like a beggar. What happened?"
Inabi Zensui protected Naraku together for many years, and the two were very close.
"No, I just came here to take a look."
Zensui replied with a relaxed yet dangerous demeanor. After his failed Zensui attempt on Naraku, Zensui was deeply disappointed that Danzo and Root's operation also failed, and that Naraku, the clan leader, became Hokage.
Uchiha Zensui originally intended to betray Naraku, become the clan leader, and lead the clan under Naraku's Mangekyo power to become the Fifth Hokage of Konoha.
The Fourth Hokage had to relinquish the position due to Naraku's death, but the young Hokage was confident he could become the Fifth Hokage.
However, everything that happened was so different from what Zensui had imagined that it left Zensui feeling lost and without any sense of meaning or purpose in life.
Uchiha Zensui wanted to become the clan leader and inherit Naraku's will. Although he was arrogant when showing off his Mangekyo, it was like a child showing off to his parents.
He did manage to show off, but the clan leader didn't die; he's alive and well. Zensui is unable to inherit Naraku's will to lead the Uchiha.
After wandering the Shinobi World for several months, I arrived in the southern part of the Land of Fire. Remembering all that had happened in Yuho City, I decided to come and take a look.
He didn't reply to any of his grandfather Uchiha Kyo to contact his Ninja Cat, nor did he know how to reply.
Even though the clan leader Naraku was always kind and forgiving, Zensui didn't believe that the clan leader would forgive him.
But when Zensui saw the surprised looks in the eyes of the two people before him, instead of immediately attacking, Zensui understood that the clan chief had not yet announced his crimes...
