Black Zetsu Frets While Shingen Heads South

However, once the number of Mist Ninja reaches a certain level, it must cut costs.

Either save money from the Land of Fire, or save money from the Land of Wind.

As for those excessive ninjas, how to prevent them from becoming a problem for the village, and instead continue to play their role and be worthy of the resources the village has invested in training them, there are really not many options.

After inquiring with his subordinates about the movements of Iwagakure and Cloud Village, Karatachi Yagura roughly understood the current situation.

The most powerful ninja clan in Leaf Village is the Uchiha Clan, Jonin is the Hyuga Clan.

The four clans of the Police Force basically represent the core strength of Leaf Village's offensive style.

It's all in Hidden Mist Village, plus a Tailed Beasts.

However, since the Two-Tails Matatabi belonged to Uchiha Shingen, no one had any intention of taking Matatabi away from him.

Their attention was focused on the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

It was during this battle that everyone learned that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was actually the Fourth Hokage's wife and the head of the Uzumaki Clan, and that both of them were currently entangled by Hizou Takayama Hizo of Cloud Village.

Of the remaining ninja clans, the Ino-Shika-Cho and Sarutobi Clan clans are significantly weaker than the four major clans of the Police Force, but they have the advantage of having more people and more resources to allocate. However, their leader has now been blocked by Orochimaru.

At the front lines, Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin, Jiraiya holding the fort, while at the rear, Tsunade, another of the Legendary Sannin, was making the Tsunade arrangements.

Overall, Leaf Village handled the situation reasonably well, clearly having been prepared. However, Leaf Village's assessment of the situation was still insufficient, and the three major villages still had a chance.

"The biggest pressure is on our side..." Karatachi Yagura, signaling his subordinates to be quiet and let him think.

It was already dark outside.

The battle had been going on for almost ten hours, and both Susanoo and Jinchūriki had withdrawn from the battlefield.

Without the Gundam, the battle between the two sides became much more normal.

The power of Tailed Beasts is, of course, Infinite compared to that of a human, Jinchūriki is finite.

"Uchiha Shingen hasn't shown up yet?"

"No, Lord Mizukage."

"Where are the Seven Ninja Swordsmen? Haven't any news come back?"

"No, Lord Mizukage..."

Karatachi Yagura tapped on his makeshift desk.

If the Seven Warriors didn't return, he had to continue fighting. Fortunately, there were many of them, so they could take turns.

Kisame Hoshigaki's strength is top-tier even in Kirigakure, making him Kage Level.

With Zabuza Momochi, most people wouldn't be able to hold out against them for long.

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, reunited, were his direct subordinates; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to successfully bring out all these unstable elements from Kirigakure.

Losing the Seven Ninja Swordsmen is unacceptable; at the very least, Kisame Hoshigaki and Zabuza Momochi cannot be lost.

"Green."

"Lord Mizukage"

"I'm going to infiltrate the Uchiha Clan Compound. You'll be in command of the troops for now."

"Lord Mizukage, shouldn't you reconsider?" Ao asked.

Ao naturally understood the importance of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

But in the end, none of them are as important as Karatachi Yagura and Three-Tails.

The so-called Seven Ninja Swordsmen were a product of the Second Mizukage's fanatical enthusiasts who liked to infiltrate far and wide, venturing into enemy territory alone. Although all seven swords were excellent, their over-reliance on swords made them incomparable to combinations like the Legendary Sannin of Konoha or the Cloud Village Brothers of Leaf Village.

Geniuses like Kisame Hoshigaki and Zabuza Momochi have gone even further without their Ninja Blade.

"No need. In this era, no one can defeat Uchiha Shingen in a one-on-one battle. I think they've probably met their match."

"If that's the case, they might already be dead."

"If they were dead, Uchiha Shingen should have appeared here by now," Karatachi Yagura said. "I'll go check on things and come right back. After all, this is Uchiha Clan territory, Uchiha Shingen is more worried than I am."

Chapter Thirty: Black Zetsu is anxious, Shingen heads south.

The changes in the Uchiha Clan Compound are truly enormous.

Uchiha Madara remembered that at that time, Hidden Leaf Village was not very big, and in fact, the houses were initially built in the forest.

Back then, the entire Hidden Leaf Village consisted of only one street.

The Senju Clan to the north, the Uchiha Clan to the south, and there's a road in between.

It's so simple; you can explore the whole village by walking along one road.

As more and more ninja clans joined, the village gradually grew, and the original landscape of houses and forests was changed.

[Uchiha Madara, what are you thinking?]

Black Zetsu followed Uchiha Madara, watching the man who seemed to be leisurely heading home, and his mind was filled with doubts.

The Uchiha Madara he knew never did anything without a purpose, and he did so day after day for decades.

Led by a group of the Uchiha Clan ninjas, Uchiha Madara arrived at a house that looked all too familiar to him.

This house was built by Hashirama and him together.

The Uchiha Clan Compound is no longer in a familiar location, and this house was clearly moved there, showing signs of having been dismantled.

However, the relocator preserved its original appearance to the greatest extent possible, which shows great care.

This used to be his residence in Hidden Leaf Village.

However, as someone who had awakened the Rinnegan, Uchiha Madara had excellent eyesight, so he immediately noticed a sign standing by the door of the house that read...

Historical and cultural buildings in Hidden Leaf Village) are protected and may not be touched.

There is one more line of text below.

Office of the Planning and Natural Resources Committee of Hidden Leaf Village.

Uchiha Madara lived from the end of the Warring States period to the end of the Third Shinobi World War, for decades, and I've never heard of such a weird name.

"What is this?" he asked.

"Clan Chief, this was proposed by Shingen- nii. He said that not learning history is disrespectful to our ancestors, so he designated some historically significant buildings in the village." An Uchiha Clan ninja quickly replied, "Shingen- nii also said that different historical buildings require different focuses in their maintenance and repair, and should be classified and protected according to their architectural style, historical function, and age."

Uchiha Madara: "... What's the point of this?"

He became a little curious.

He knew that the Uchiha Clan were a ninja clan that collected various Ninjutsu and the research results of their predecessors; he had added a lot of things to their library.

But what about historical buildings?

"This is so that the children can understand the hardships of our ancestors, Chief Clan Head."

This young man is actually Uchiha Tekka's younger brother.

This little guy, whom Uchiha Tekka used to skip work to pick up from school, has now become a Chunin.

"Nonsense," Uchiha Madara sneered. "Fine, open the door and let me see."

Black Zetsu praised Uchiha Shingen highly, his words implying the same thing. "Boss, let's change people."

However, Uchiha Madara didn't think much of anyone during his lifetime, otherwise he wouldn't have gone it alone.

They had no choice but to pick Uchiha Obito back then; they were forced into it.

If he doesn't choose a replacement soon, he'll be finished.

Uchiha Obito might really be an idiot, but he was the one who chose him; how could he just change him like that?

Let him observe for a while.

"Yes."

Everyone quickly opened the door.

Uchiha Madara went inside.

He glanced at it, and his expression softened slightly.

Even the furniture was placed in the same location.

Well, although his goals are at a higher level and he is no longer limited by a single clan, he is still a member of the Uchiha Clan. These young people keep calling him "Clan Head," so he can't be too harsh on them.

However, he was somewhat surprised that the Uchiha Clan did not perish.

Although he was outside the village, he still had some understanding of the situation in Leaf Village. As he expected, Tobirama's successors continued to suppress the Uchiha Clan. In his view, the demise of the Uchiha Clan had been on the countdown ever since Senju Tobirama came to power.

But he didn't expect that the Senju Clan of the Forest would perish even faster.

According to Black Zetsu, the Uchiha Clan suddenly prospered after his death. Now, I'll take a look and learn more about it to pass the time.

Now that things have come to this, it's undeniable that these future generations might also become obstacles for us.

But considering what has happened today, he is willing to give the younger generation a choice.

Just like back then.

Uchiha Madara entered his bedroom.

The placement of the bedding remained unchanged.

Uchiha Madara walked over and rummaged through the bedding on the tatami mat.

That's right, it's the same old formula.

Black Zetsu was watching anxiously from the sidelines, but it couldn't show it.

It would mention Uchiha Shingen in front of Uchiha Madara, hoping that this arrogant guy would also be interested in Uchiha Shingen and bring the latter to their side.

Instead of having Uchiha Madara interact with this group of the Uchiha Clan.

The shamelessness of the Uchiha Clan was beyond its expectations, and it could clearly sense that Uchiha Madara's attitude towards these Uchiha Clan was softening.

Back then, it was a huge struggle to get this guy to sever all ties with his family.

While Black Zetsu was getting anxious, Uchiha Shingen was heading south.

The Mist Ninja who infiltrated the clan's territory have been wiped out.

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen were probably just incompatible with Hidden Leaf Village, as they were completely wiped out this time.

To be honest, this generation of the Seven Musketeers is not bad.

Aside from Kisame Hoshigaki, Zabuza Momochi, and the remaining characters Ringo Ameyuri and Chojuro, were also outstanding figures in the Fourth Shinobi World War in their original timelines.

That last move should be the Naraka Path of the Rinnegan.

Uchiha Shingen also checked on the four who had lost consciousness.

This led him to a deeper speculation about a more realistic definition of the soul in the Hokage world.

Whether they live or die is another matter, all four of them had their Chakra extracted, and they looked as if they had been deprived of "information".

He conducted a similar experiment during his first playthrough. The reincarnation technique he painstakingly researched back then was, to put it bluntly, the Chakra Reincarnation Technique.

After all, the soul is such a mysterious thing, he has no starting point to study it.

This thing is like a myth; everyone can talk about it, but that's all they can say. It's all just talk; it's all just floating on the surface. Nobody can really explain it clearly.

This time, the enemy used the Impure World Reincarnation, which conveniently allowed him to further investigate this secret.

However, we must first defeat the Mist Ninja in the south; we cannot allow them to continue their entanglement.

With Sunagakure as an ally, fighting on three fronts again is not unacceptable for Hidden Leaf Village now, as long as the village itself is no longer on the front lines of the war.

As Uchiha Shingen was heading south, he suddenly sensed a familiar Chakra.

[Huh? Just one person? So brave?]

Uchiha Shingen was somewhat stunned, feeling that it was not quite real.

Then he remembered the seven swords he had sealed in the scroll.

It's normal to forget about that.

Since that's the case, he'll gladly accept the Three-Tails 'Chakra!

Uchiha Shingen's body twisted in mid-air, changing direction.
