PS: I originally thought I could go back to code in the evening, but now I was notified at the last minute that I have to work overtime, so I can only upload it first. It's a little short, so please forgive me.
As the saying goes, the most dangerous moments are often the safest moments.
The first day after arriving was supposed to be the day when Konoha's side was most vigilant, but Shōji planned to conduct a dark operation under the light. As an experienced Ogata, he naturally agreed to such an operation. Originally, Ogata, who was the most professional, should also perform the corresponding tasks, but Ogata does not have the top personal strength of Shōji, and can only be regarded as an ordinary Jōnin at most. Secondly, Ogata is still a quasi-high-level figure of Iwagakure. Once his traces are exposed and taken away by Konoha, even the corpse is likely to be obtained by Konoha's side to obtain more information.
From the perspective of risk and return, it is a 100% uneconomical choice. Risk-taking also requires strategic risk-taking.
The three members of the mission who went to carry out the mission are people with certain strength and professionalism, and after being exposed, they will not bring much loss to their Ninja Village. Although such judgments and decisions may seem very cold and cruel, this is the basic operation of the Ninja Village in the great country at many times!
In the thick night sky, Konohagakure looks prosperous and bright.
Shōji quietly hides his figure in the darkness. With his current strength, as long as he doesn't accidentally run into Konoha's areas with special barriers, he doesn't have to worry about his traces being discovered.
Now, Konoha does not have ninjas with super-sensory abilities like Mito Uzumaki and Kushina Uzumaki. Those ordinary sensory-type ninjas, unless Shōji deliberately approaches a close position and actively exposes some aura or Chakra fluctuations, otherwise it will be difficult for them to detect Shōji's figure.
This is also the biggest reason why Shōji can act at will in Konoha with a little unscrupulousness. Strength is his greatest confidence.
'First of all, we have to go back to the shrine and take a look. Other things can be said, but that one thing is quite important! '
Shōji was thinking silently in his heart while walking.
Returning to Konoha this time was not only for the strategic considerations of the village, but also for the interests of myself and my family.
After all, the last time their family left Konoha, they were in too much of a hurry. Many of the Uchiha Clan's inherited items could not be taken away. Some items were only symbolic. If they were really lost, it would not be a big problem, but some items had great practical significance!
For example, the stone tablet placed in the secret room of the highest gathering of the clan under his own Nanga Shrine. Ordinary Uchiha clan members, even Fugaku, may at most think that this is just a piece of ancient secrets and not that important. At most, it has a certain degree of research value and significance.
This is why during the previous evacuation, no one in the clan mentioned the need to take away this piece of Stone Tablet. From the perspective of their clansmen, the value of this piece of Stone Tablet is not as important as some scrolls in the clan that record advanced ninjutsu training methods.
But it seems different from Shōji's perspective. The previous Shōji did feel that this piece of Stone Tablet didn't have much significance for him as a time traveler. Anyway, he Uchiha Shōji knew the truth of this world better than anyone above Shinobi World now.
The piece of Stone Tablet whose contents had been tampered with by Black Zetsu really didn't mean much, but in the subsequent practice, Shōji felt that his piece of Stone Tablet seemed to have a great assisting effect on him!
Not to mention too much, only the content above Stone Tablet needs to be viewed according to Sharingan, Mangekyō Sharingan, and finally Rinnegan to see different levels of content in sequence. Only Black Zetsu has the ability to tamper with the content of Stone Tablet.
This Stone Tablet is most likely closely related to 'Six Paths Power'!
Of course, this is only Shōji's personal speculation. There is no basis in Original Work. He cannot confirm this now, but it cannot be denied that there is such a possibility, right?
It doesn't take much, as long as there is a probability of one or two layers, Shōji will give it a try. Maybe I can parse what I want from this piece of Stone Tablet?
As Uchiha Clan, Shōji knows very well that if he wants to quickly improve his personal strength, he must rely on his own bloodline, that is, whether this pair of Sharingan can be promoted to Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan or even Rinnegan is the biggest basis for whether he can truly defeat Nagato, Obito, Uchiha Madara, Black Zetsu, and even Ōtsutsuki Kaguya in the future!
To this end, Shōji must conduct various experiments.
For him, time seems to be very abundant, but in fact it is also very tight!
'Huh, the station was completely bulldozed, but there was no change at the shrine? Is this really somewhat unexpected? '
Shōji stood under the stone steps of his shrine, looking at Gate of the Great God above, raising his eyebrows slightly, thinking silently in his heart.
Steps up the stairs.
The reason why this place was not destroyed by Konoha may be due to the influence of customs, but the most likely reason is that they must have left it behind after a thorough search and felt that there was nothing threatening here.
The reason why the station needs to be cleared is because the original Uchiha Clan station occupies a large area of the entire Ninja Village. It must be disposed of to make room for it. However, this shrine is in a more remote location in the village and does not occupy a large area. It is normal for it to be left behind.
No one has set foot in this shrine area for more than a year. The shrine itself, Gate of the Great God outside and the worship steps are all covered with dust. Shōji entered the shrine step by step.
In it, Shōji even discovered the survival and activity tracks of some "cute" animals.
'It's really going to be a ruined place. '
Shōji shook his head slightly, and then came to the seventh tatami from the right. After opening it, an underground stone staircase was exposed. Shōji's pervasive perception was that he could completely grasp every move around him, and then he stepped into the most important gathering room of his clan.
This is still a familiar stone wall passage. The cold aura coming from it does not require careful observation. Shōji can clearly tell that this secret place of his family has not been invaded since his family left. I don't know if Konoha is a group of people who are arrogant and think it doesn't matter, or are they so stupid that they can't even discover this secret room.
However, in Shōji's opinion, the former is more common.
Because from a common sense perspective, it is indeed not very important here.
If Shōji had not had its own plans and considerations, this Naka Shrine and the assembly chamber below would have more symbolic and commemorative meanings.
Therefore, such an arrangement is normal.
Shōji That is, after turning such a thought in his mind, he threw it out of his mind, striding forward, passing through the corridor that was only more than ten meters long, and what caught his eyes the next moment was In a spacious underground secret room, Shōji lit the lights on the side. Without paying attention to anything else, he went straight to the Stone Tablet that stood at the front and had mysterious writing on it.
He stretched out his right hand and gently touched the text on Stone Tablet, feeling the cold texture.
"Buzz!"
The wild fluctuations spread in the space.
Shōji's pupils, which were originally black and white, were now a scarlet color. The three slowly rotating black Tomoe were directly connected at the next moment, converging into a slightly sharp Four-Pointed Windmill Sharingan form.
Although it is still unable to completely absorb the Natural Energy around it for its own use, Shōji at this moment is consciously absorbing it. The further enhanced sensing and detection capabilities are not to observe the content above Stone Tablet, which has no meaning for Shōji, but to carefully sense the entire Stone Tablet at this moment.
There seems to be a little bit of sensation in this, but it seems to be a slight fluctuation like an illusion.
"Oh, it still doesn't work? Either my guess is wrong, or my level is not good enough now, but this is more or less a possibility, and I still have to take it away!"
Shōji turned off his Sharingan, and the clear eyes returned to him. After Shōji sighed lowly, a ray of determination appeared in the depths of his pupils. Not to mention that he felt that his guess was very likely, even if it was only one or two levels of probability, Shōji would not give up!
In the past time, Mangekyō Sharingan of Shōji has not been used very frequently, but its consumption is not low. Don't say too much. Even if you keep using your Mangekyo with such intensity and rhythm, your Dōjutsu Power will definitely be exhausted within a few years at most. Once you encounter a strong enemy!
For example, if it is Jiraiya, Fourth Raikage, Obito, or even Nagato, the consumption of your own Mangekyō Sharingan Dōjutsu Power will definitely be doubled than before. Losing the light is a matter of time. For this consideration!
Shōji must be fully prepared.
This is an occasion where there is no need or reason to hesitate.
Shōji flipped his palm and pulled out the Tachi behind him. The Chakra that was attached to the top dug down again!
He directly dug out this piece of his family's inheritance Stone Tablet, then took out the black cloth bag that he had prepared before, put it into it, then Tachi inserted it into his waist, carried this piece of Stone Tablet behind him, and took another look at his own station.
Shōji also turned around and left without any thought.
I still have a lot of things to do next, so I can't waste too much time here. Of course, I must give priority to getting my Stone Tablet back to the hotel. Otherwise, if I really carry this thing on my back, my movements will still be restricted to a certain extent.
After returning to the hotel for the time being and placing my special piece of Stone Tablet, Shōji disappeared into the night again. Although it was said that there would be three full days in the future, there was no telling when something like an accident would come.
Given the opportunity and time, we must be able to do more things, including exploring the situation of the orphanage established by Nonō, which was one of the goals in the original plan.
Throughout the night, Shōji's figure shuttled among Konoha. It must also be said that Konoha's vigilance and security force ended at Third Shinobi World War, especially Fourth Hokage After E Minato Namikaze died in battle and Uchiha Clan left, the overall situation dropped a lot. Although there was a bit of luck involved, it was not only Shōji's actions that went so smoothly.
Even the special investigation behavior of several other people has not been exposed, which is enough to explain the problem. The Kumo Ninja incident in Original Work, and the subsequent main plot opening, in Konoha Crush Plan, the conspiracy alliance between Sunagakure Ninja and Sound Ninja, Yakushi Kabuto Kazuma has had several secret talks in Konohagakure, but only a trace has been found, which can prove that Konoha is really gradually declining. To put it in a harsh word, Konoha in Original Work is really supported by Naruto.
In this life, it was only in Konoha 51 that it could be seen that Konoha was gradually declining, but even so, there was still a lot of basic security. When they had to be careful to ensure their own safety, it was difficult for those Iwagakure Ninjas to collect some useful information!
The intelligence previously obtained from those Root people and Nonō was obviously lagging behind. Although Danzo would do stupid things, it did not mean that they were really stupid. After realizing that there was a problem with the elite team he sent out, Danzo would definitely make corresponding adjustments!
It cannot be said that these people sent out gained nothing, but they did not obtain very useful information!
The only thing that is certain is that in the recent period, Konoha seems to have taken the initiative to become more restrained in its military operations in the northeast, and has a tendency to further increase its troops in the northwest border area!
This discovery.
Let Ogata pay attention instantly.
After Shōji further confirmed that the orphanage established by Nonō was indeed not taken seriously by Danzo, as in Original Work, and had not been harassed, and was running smoothly as expected, he returned to the hotel where his mission was staying as soon as possible.
Just returned.
This information was obtained from Ogata.
"Northeast? Are you sure? Ogata-san?"
Shōji also frowned immediately.
"It should be a high probability event. This point was obtained through the information points previously obtained from the brain of the member named Aburame Ryūma Root, and then obtained through further investigation by Hu Yin According to the information, although the power of the border has not changed yet, Konoha is likely to change its focus in the future. Do we also need to change our strategy based on this? Shōji?
Ogata is one of the quasi-high-level officials of Iwagakure. He is more or less aware of Lord Tsuchikage's intentions, as well as some established strategic goals in the village. The only intention of the mission this time is Shōji's own plan, which Ogata doesn't know and has no intention of understanding. Ogata knows all the rest of the strategic goals!
This includes the balance of power actions of the Ninja Village in Land of Grass, and even deep into the Land of Fire border area. To a large extent, it depends on the response of the Konoha side, and secondly, the dynamics of the Kumo Ninja side. If one of the two changes, it will have a chain reaction to a large extent, let alone two changes at the same time!
The most basic intention of their mission is on this point. Although the information is not very accurate now, judging from the current intelligence analysis, Ogata is more inclined to soften his attitude slightly in the subsequent negotiations. It is more reliable to look at the situation between Konoha and Kumogakure first-hand.
Of course, the specific operation depends on the decision-making of Uchiha Shōji, the team leader. Just like in the previous spy hunting battle, this time before the Iwagakure mission set off, Ōnoki had already made it clear that all actions would be subject to the command of Shōji.
Ogata is certainly no exception.
"Change strategy?"
Shōji paced back and forth in the room, lowering his head slightly and murmuring in a low voice.
Of course he knows very well that with the current strength of Iwagakure, even Konoha after the return of Jiraiya and Tsunade can beat one on one, but they will never be able to fight one against two. What's more, once they really fall into a two-front battle, Sunagakure from the south will definitely choose to join the battle even if it hurts!
By that time, Iwagakure will definitely face the worst situation.
This is a scene they Iwagakure absolutely do not want to see and absolutely cannot accept.
Shōji's initial intention was to 'fish', but he could not have imagined that not only the fish would not be caught, but the bait would also be eaten. That would be the result of blood loss.
"Okay, then let's..."
Just after Shōji thought about it over and over again, he decided to exercise some restraint.
Suddenly.
"Wait a minute!"
There seemed to be a flash of inspiration in the depths of my brain, and a certain idea appeared in my mind.
"Will it unfold like that? If that's the case? Then this is a huge opportunity!"
Shōji murmured in a low voice, and his pupils became brighter and brighter.
Ogata in the opposite position suddenly looked confused. He simply didn't understand what Shōji meant at this moment.
"So? Mr. Shōji?"
Those words were asked softly and cautiously.
"Oh? Yes? Ogata-san, I'm sorry, I just thought of something else. Ahem, my opinion is that we don't need to worry for the time being. This matter may not necessarily change in a bad direction. The details still depend on the situation of Konoha and Kumo Ninja, right? In my opinion, everything is possible! We just need to wait for a moment!"
Shōji said with a smile on his face.
If my prediction is correct, there is a certain probability that the famous plot event in Original Work may happen next - the case of Kumo Ninja raping Hinata Hyuga! Of course, Shōji cannot be 100% certain. To be honest, the probability is still between 50 and 50. Not to mention that the timeline is somewhat inconsistent. The most important thing is that the plot in this life has already undergone a big deflection. It is difficult to say that some subsequent Original Work plot events will definitely happen according to the established trajectory.
