• Ruohuo dramatically declares that Konoha’s people do not belong exclusively to the Third Hokage, Hiruzen, and orders a full-scale operation to catch the bathhouse voyeur.

Chapter Summary: “Are You Threatening Me With Grandmother!”

Key Plot Points and Events

Ruohuo outlines his three main objectives upon returning to Konoha:

1. Remove the Third Hokage from office so the Uchiha Clan can gain both territorial control and political authority over the Land of Fire.
2. Advance Impure World Reincarnation, primarily to help Orochimaru develop the Uchiha bloodline and eventually raise the clan’s average abilities.
3. Acquire Sage chakra, with arrangements involving Tsunade, Orochimaru, and possibly Mount Myoboku.
   The Uchiha migration is effectively guaranteed, but Ruohuo’s immediate goal is to pressure Konoha’s leadership. The Uchiha now possess four Tailed Beasts, including the One-Tail, leaving the village with little time to respond. Ruohuo also considers manipulating the rivalry between Nagato and Minato over Kushina, since the Nine-Tails remains a crucial interest of both Danzo and the Third Hokage.
   Ruohuo prepares food for Shisui and his younger brothers while Jiraiya eats with him. When Jiraiya casually suggests staying overnight at Ruohuo’s home instead of turning himself in to the Military Police, Ruohuo interprets the remark as an attempt to exploit his grandmother’s hospitality and threaten his authority.
   Ruohuo attacks Jiraiya with Mangekyo Sharingan abilities, first creating a flaming dagger at his throat and then trapping him in a terrifying Susanoo-based genjutsu. Jiraiya breaks free, but Ruohuo then uses Susanoo to launch him away in a black Lava Style sphere. His grandmother calmly reminds him not to fight inside the house and later points out that he accidentally threw Jiraiya toward the Hyuga Clan grounds. Ruohuo sheepishly admits his mistake.
