In the empty office, Shōji's figure has long disappeared.
A single figure remains.
It's obviously a cold January day.
But Ōnoki felt as if a raging fire was igniting deep in his heart at this moment. His slightly red pupils and his breathing that obviously became a little bit rapid all proved the turbulent heart of Lord Tsuchikage, who was nearly seventy years old.
I think that my generation has seen many storms, and Ōnoki, who witnessed the desperate pressure brought by Konohagakure in his early years, has always felt that at this age, he will not be easily touched by anything.
Including the initial choice to accept Uchiha Clan, Ōnoki seemed to be very determined to make up his mind, but in fact, there was no big turmoil deep in his heart. There was a certain risk in taking risks, but it was enough to make Ōnoki feel moved. In this life, he has experienced more dangerous things!
But today, Ōnoki was really shocked by Shōji's words.
How courageous it is to destroy all the countries, unify Shinobi World, and leave only one country and one Ninja Village in the whole world. Of course, this does not mean that this idea is ahead of its time. It was Shōji who proposed it first. Not to mention, Uchiha Madara once proposed the same plan. It can be said that the leaders of major countries and Ninja Villages have more or less had similar ideas.
But ninety-nine percent of it is just a thought.
Among the remaining one percent, Fourth Raikage, who is still relatively young, must have similar ambitions, but even Fourth Raikage A doesn't really think that he can do it. But just thinking about it, he wants to overpower other Four Great Shinobi Villages and become the largest hegemonic ninja village in Shinobi World!
That's all.
But what Shōji showed was that he wanted to annex other ninja villages. He really dared to say and do it, and he obviously had a very careful plan. This is the most important thing!
Because there are so many people with ideas!
Having a plan and being able to develop and execute it is the key!
The resolute look of Shōji just now flashed in Ōnoki's mind.
"I'm old, I'm really old. Today's young people are really amazing."
There was also a different kind of light flashing in his pupils, and he murmured in a low voice.
After the shock, Ōnoki was filled with excitement and relief deep in his heart. He was pleased that he had not made the wrong choice in the first place. Choosing to accept Uchiha Clan was really the wisest decision he had ever made in his life!
I am excited by this ambitious plan proposed by Shōji.
"Let Iwagakure become the only remaining ninja village above Shinobi World? It really makes me, an old man, completely excited!"
Ōnoki was thinking about the plan that Shōji had just proposed to him about how to use Akatsuki, Kirigakure, and the conflicts among the major ninja villages to implement the unification step by step, Lord Tsuchikage's heart became more and more turbulent.
Again, it is no use just having an idea. It must be equipped with the strength and capacity, as well as a careful and orderly plan. Only when the three are present, your idea is not just a fantasy and can be turned into reality!
Does my Ninja Village have such strength?
The answer is yes!
What about the measure?
Ōnoki said that he still has great ambitions!
The third equally important condition - the plan, Shōji is also placed in front of Ōnoki. If everything goes well, they Iwagakure really have a high probability of destroying other ninja villages!
What if it fails?
You can also stop midway.
As long as they Iwagakure are not stupid enough to declare war on everyone Shinobi World from the beginning, there will always be room for redemption!
At this point, let alone Ōnoki, a mature and prudent Tsuchikage, even Shōji who has a good second-level attribute would not do it. He went to declare war on all Shinobi World after losing his mind!
The stupid thing Obito did in Original Work.
Shōji just don't do it. Isn't it good to just keep silent and make a fortune?
Regarding how to achieve the great cause of unification, countless ancestors in previous lives have given the most standard answer!
If you can't even copy, Shōji can simply buy a piece of tofu and kill him. In Shōji's plan, the overall goal is to unify Shinobi World, but the specific process has to be done step by step!
Just like the melee of the Seven Kingdoms in a certain era in the previous life.
Destroying a country must come one after another. It would be best to let the remaining opponents engage in an appeasement strategy. That would be the most satisfying.
For example, Kirigakure, who was attracted by Shōji, was one of the selected targets.
Declaring war on the world is a hot-blooded and refreshing thing, but the corresponding difficulty of unification will also multiply exponentially, and even if the plan is finally realized!
The price you need to pay will definitely be higher!
The reason why Ōnoki is so exciting is why I appreciate Shōji even more.
This is also because Shōji's plan is very pragmatic.
Maximize returns and minimize risks.
Of course, this may, or should be said to be almost 100%, related to the problems of various countries, especially the daimyo of their own countries. Shōji and Ōnoki have a tacit understanding and subconsciously ignored it. Why is it said that daimyo is the nominal supreme leader of the country?
That's because the daimyo have never been able to truly command and control the ninjas in the country, including the so-called "kage" succession that requires the approval of the daimyo. It is just such a procedure. There is only one situation where the daimyo can affect the ownership and ownership of the "kage". Ninja Village affairs are the chaotic situation within the Ninja Village where there are competing factions. For example, when Tsunade was unconscious in Original Work, the problem was deliberately caused by Danzo.
Otherwise, if you look at the succession of the kages in the ninja villages of various countries, how often has it not been decided internally and then reported to the daimyo for review?
Don't talk about Shōji, even Ōnoki can't really take the orders of his daimyo in his eyes. It's enough to show you the courtesy and respect.
"Since you have such courage and determination, then I will accompany you with my old bones. Shōji, this world will definitely be in our hands Iwagakure!"
Ōnoki looked at the world map that had been spread out at some point, with an irrepressible brightness in his pupils. He clenched his hands into fists and said this with the most firm words.
The open window let in the cold wind.
This seems to be the case.
Only then can Third Tsuchikage's burning heart be cooled down a little.
On the other side, Shōji, who was already heading back to his family's camp, naturally didn't know that his plan would have such a big impact on Ōnoki. As mentioned before, the reason why he 'confessed' at this point in time!
It's also because Shōji feels that the time has come.
I originally planned to hold on and develop for a while, but now that there's a 'collision', it's better to take the initiative on my own side.
In this way, we can seize the initiative as much as possible!
Be it Four Great Shinobi Villages, Akatsuki led by Obito or Nagato.
Shōji is also determined to speed up.
To realize his own greatest ambition when he came to this world, apart from the first and most important goal of saving his family.
Shōji, who returned to the clan, also headed straight for the location of Fugaku's home.
Wait until Shōji arrives.
In the study room of Fugaku's house.
Fugaku, Elder Sōgen, Elder Genran, Elder Chie, and Shisui are already waiting inside. Counting Shōji, these six people are now The top management in the Uchiha Clan is here, and the remaining Inaho, Tekka, Kogen, Yashiro and others are certainly the backbone of the clan, but they are still not qualified to participate in the most intensive meetings.
Shōji had mentioned before that he could let Itachi participate in the affairs of the clan earlier, but Fugaku directly refused. After all, in Fugaku's view, although his eldest son Itachi was extremely talented, he was only eight or nine years old after all, which was too young. It would be more appropriate to wait until he was eleven or twelve years old.
"Clan leader, Elder Sōgen, Elder Chie, Elder Genran, and Shisui!"
After Shōji stepped forward, he knelt down on the cushion and greeted Fugaku and others one by one.
"Well, Shōji, you have reported clearly to Lord Tsuchikage, right? Including the matter of Obito? Is it true!?"
As soon as Shōji sat down.
Fugaku couldn't wait to ask.
The three elders and Shisui on the side also looked at Shōji with a very tense expression.
Even though it has been several days since the news came from Shōji, I believe that Shōji will never be careless about this incident, but Fugaku, Shisui, It is still hard for Elder Sōgen and others to believe that the real culprit behind Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's Attack was actually Uchiha Obito, who was sacrificed in Third Shinobi World War. He was once the guy in their clan who least fit their Uchiha style.
If we have to say what kind of impression Obito left on the people of the Uchiha clan that we know, there are only two points: a good old man and a direct subordinate of Fourth Hokage, Fugaku once paid close attention to Obito for a period of time. What he valued most was that he was Minato Namikaze's direct subordinate, because at that time Minato had already shown the potential to become a "shadow"!
In addition, there is the support of Jiraiya, a master with a high status.
Fugaku intends to strengthen the relationship with Minato Namikaze through Obito. The team members he personally leads can be regarded as half disciples. Fugaku will definitely not miss this relationship. After Obito sacrificed later, Fugaku is a pity. For a long time, the reason why Uchiha Clan did not take back the Sharingan from Kakashi was that Fugaku alone suppressed the pressure of the whole family, and for the sake of Minato Namikaze, Kakashi continued to hold the Sharingan.
Otherwise, follow the rules of the blood family.
Regardless of whether Obito is voluntary or not, that Sharingan must not be given to Kakashi. At this point, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzō and others cannot have any There is no room for intervention. It is one thing to suppress Uchiha. It is okay to secretly covet other people's blood successors. But if they interfere in other people's Kekkei Genkai issues openly, it will definitely arouse the vigilance and public anger of all the blood successor secret arts families in the village.
Even though those blood successor families are very repulsive and disgusted with the Uchiha Clan, maintaining the blood successor family is the common interest of all blood successor families.
It can be said that at that time, Fugaku really gave Minato Namikaze a lot of face. Facts also proved that Fugaku's choice was not wrong. Minato Namikaze really succeeded Fourth Hokage. Fugaku thought that his family could truly usher in the moment of revival, but a huge Nine-Tails disaster directly brought everything back to full circle. The death of Fourth Hokage and his wife in battle can be said to be a serious blow to Fugaku!
This is why Fugaku has always regretted why he did not forcefully break through the Root sent by Danzo. If only he could be more decisive and rely on Mangekyō Sharingan's restraint on Tailed Beast, even if it takes all Dōjutsu Power, as long as Fourth Hokage and his wife can be saved, then all the efforts will be worth it.
It's just that everything is a no-brainer, and now their Uchiha Clan situation is also very good. Fugaku would regret it before, but not now, but when they originally thought that this matter would be over, the news from Shōji shocked Fugaku extremely.
Obito!
This boy who is the most unlike Uchiha in the history of his family is actually the real culprit behind Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's Attack!?
I was surprised at Obito's ability to control Nine-Tails.
Fugaku What's even more shocking is how the once so sunny and kind-hearted young man could become the murderer who directly killed his master and master's wife!?
As far as Fugaku knew, Minato Namikaze took great care of Kakashi, Obito, and Lin who were in the team at that time, and all three of them had been guests at Minato's home, and Kushina Uzumaki had entertained three of them!
Obito can become so cruel.
Fugaku really doesn't believe it.
He had personally come into contact with that child!
It is also because of this that he believes that Obito can become the link between his family and Minato Namikaze!
Shisui, Elder Sōgen, Elder Genran, and Elder Chie, who all know more or less about Obito, also hold similar attitudes.
"Well, everything that needs to be reported has been reported to Lord Third. Regarding Obito, Mr. Patriarch, I can tell you for sure that it is true. I personally broke his mask., Obito and I are of the same age, I can still recognize him, his face has hardly changed at all, except that it has become much colder and bloody, and when I confronted him, he didn't say anything to refute him!"
Shōji nodded slightly and said in a very firm tone.
"It seems like it's really Obito."
"I didn't expect that this kid would turn out like that..."
"Is it really because of Rin Nohara's death that he became so crazy?"
"Alas..."
Including the reason for Obito's blackening, Shōji also used a 'guessing' tone, and told Fugaku and others in the first clan in the previous information transmission.
Even today, when Shōji returns, these elders still cannot understand the changes in Obito. If he was born to be a person with a bad character, it would be easy to say, but Obito is a member of a clan, no, it can even be said He is one of the few kind-hearted people in the entire Konoha and even the entire Shinobi World. If you really want to find a person who is kinder than Obito, there will only be Bai, the one in Original Work who can even show mercy to the enemy.
This is why Fugaku, Sōgen, Chie and others really still don't want to believe that there will be such a huge change after Obito's 'resurrection'.
"That Obito would become like this, I really didn't expect it."
Shisui also sighed after hearing this. He couldn't help but recall the scenes where he met Obito occasionally in the clan, and said with a very complicated look.
"We have no way of knowing the specific reason if Obito doesn't explain it, but this guy is the biggest traitor to our clan and is an existence that we must deal with. This point needs to be made clear. The most important point is that I can sense that this guy's eyes are just ordinary Mangekyō Sharingan, not Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, but Dōjutsu Power He is much stronger than Shisui and the clan leader and you two. This is based on the fact that he has only one eye. Once he has both eyes, he will still be weaker than me, but he is already far beyond us. Mangekyō Sharingan is at his limit. In addition, when he uses Dojutsu, he is simply unscrupulous and cannot sense the weakening of Dōjutsu Power at all!"
"There must be something wrong with his pair of Mangekyō Sharingan!"
There are some things that Shōji is definitely 100% sure of, but without any evidence in hand, he can only speak in a speculative tone.
This is the case with the Mangekyō Sharingan information of Obito.
"With one eye, he can control Three-Tails, Nine-Tails, and Dojutsu can be used unscrupulously. Is his Dōjutsu Power really not consumed at all!?"
Elder Sōgen said with a frown.
"Shōji, are you really sure that Obito's eyes are not Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan? Is there another rebellious tribesman who also turned on Mangekyō Sharingan and transplanted eyes to Obito!?"
Elder Chie said with a very solemn tone.
Shisui on the side also looked closely at Shōji. Regarding the question of Mangekyo and Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, Shisui only recently learned from the patriarch of Fugaku, and it was only when the information came back a few days ago that he learned that the eyes of his patriarch had actually been transplanted to Shōji.
Let it obtain the true ultimate form of the blood descendant of the clan - Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan (actually the ultimate form should be Rinnegan.)
Only then did I truly realize that the reason why Ancestor Madara of ours could unscrupulously control Nine-Tails and other Tailed Beast was because of the existence of Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. After all, although the ordinary Mangekyō Sharingan can also control the weaker Tailed Beast, it is not impossible to control Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails by force.
But Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails have stronger resistance capabilities.
The holder of Mangekyō Sharingan must spend a lot of Dōjutsu Power to suppress it, and this is not a node problem. If you want to always control Tailed Beast, you must always use Mangekyō Sharingan suppresses the consciousness of Tailed Beast, which means that Dōjutsu Power has to be consumed all the time. Where can ordinary Mangekyō Sharingan have so many Dōjutsu Power to use?
Shisui Take yourself as an example.
Control Nine-Tails.
It may be possible, but it is only for a short period of time. If you don't take the initiative to release the control, when Dōjutsu Power is exhausted, what awaits Shisui is Nine-Tails's crazy counterattack!
Now, since Shōji has categorically said that Obito's eyes are not Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, then how did his Mangekyō Sharingan Dōjutsu Power control Nine-Tails so easily and powerfully!?
That was the tragic Nine-Tails Rebellion that resulted in the deaths of the Fourth Hokage and his wife, as well as the casualties of nearly a thousand Konoha ninjas!
"I can be sure of this. The patriarch, Shisui, and the three elders do not need to doubt it. As I have adapted to this pair of eyes, and I have inherited part of the abilities of the patriarch Mangekyo, I can be 100% sure that Obito's eyes are not It's Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. As for the question of Dōjutsu Power, clan leader, you should know about my previous experiments. I smelled the same scent on Obito. It seems that this guy has completed the experiment I thought of before in advance!"
Shōji nodded heavily again.
He emphasized his judgment again, and then fixed his gaze on Fugaku in the middle. The words he said made Fugaku's pupils suddenly shrink.
"You mean Wood Release cells of First Hokage!?"
Fugaku lost his voice.
Immediately, Shisui and Elder Sōgen looked sideways.
He also showed a hint of doubt at the same time.
How come their Uchiha Clan's Sharingan is related to the First Hokage cells again.
"Yes, it is Wood Release cells of First Hokage. This aura is very obvious in Obito. He must have perfectly integrated the cells of First Hokage to achieve the result of further activating Sharingan of our Uchiha Clan and actively replenishing and consuming Dōjutsu Power!"
Shōji nodded and said.
"What? Wood Release cells can supplement Dōjutsu Power!?"
"Isn't it possible!?"
"Ah!?"
Although there is a little bit of speculation.
But when Shōji finished speaking.
Shisui and Elder Sōgen still showed a look of extreme surprise.
"There is no doubt about this. The three elders, Shisui, this is the information I investigated from Root when our clan was still in Konoha, Danzo That guy has been secretly studying Sharingan of our Uchiha Clan and Wood Release cells of First Hokage. I got it After that, I did some research together and found that Wood Release cells of First Hokage can achieve a very delicate balance with our Sharingan, which can stimulate each other and achieve a certain degree of activation. Therefore, I have discussed with the clan leader before whether we can try to completely integrate the two powers to solve the problem of Mangekyō Sharingan Dōjutsu Power in our clan!"
Shoji is not lying. The plot in the original work has shown that Danzo is indeed secretly studying the power of Wood Release Cells and Sharingan Eyes, and is also cooperating with Orochimaru. The Wood Release Cells on Danzo's body, as well as the right arm full of Sharingan Eyes, are Orochimaru's masterpieces. The reason why Danzo can transplant so many Sharingan Eyes and have Wood Release Chakra in his body is to achieve this goal by balancing the two!
Otherwise, even if it is Danzo, if any kind of power is transplanted alone, it will definitely be counterattacked, Wood Release will not talk about it.
Ordinary Tomoe Sharingan is not affordable by ordinary people.
Why doesn't Uchiha Clan have the same restriction as Caged Bird Seal like Hyūga? Uchiha people often die in battles outside the village, but no other people in the Ninja Village can transplant and use Sharingan?
The reason is that Sharingan is too repellent!
The usage restrictions are a bit too much!
Take a look at Kakashi. He looks extremely weak all the time. He is a genius in the true sense!
Even Kakashi can hardly withstand the load brought by Sharingan perfectly, let alone others!
To put it bluntly, the increase and load brought by Sharingan to Kakashi are estimated to be exactly the same!
Even without Sharingan, Kakashi might be stronger than his self in Original Work at the same time!
Want to know who his father is?
The famous Konoha White Fang!
Sharingan is really not a force that anyone other than Uchiha Clan can withstand.
But Danzo coveted this power, so he decided to focus on the Wood Release power of First Hokage!
Don't tell me, Danzo is really a 'little genius' in this aspect!
