Konoha Has Taken Over This Place

The Impure World Reincarnation Ninjutsu is incredibly complicated to set up, making it inconvenient to use and giving it a bad reputation.

In the old environment, coupled with the infamous reputation of the Senju Muzoku, everyone kept quiet. But after the Senju Muzoku was created, no one used him anymore.

Given Uchiha Shingen's current strength, there's really no need for him to do this.

"However, is it necessary to do this because of the elders of the Hyuga Clan?"

"Clan leader, the Jonin Council Jonin Hyuga Clan."

Uchiha Fugaku suddenly realized.

It's still a matter of habit.

He always forgets it without even realizing it.

Uchiha Shingen is now in the Jonin Council. The Uchiha Clan is no longer just trapped in the Police Force; a glimmer of hope has appeared.

The Uchiha Clan used to be able to entertain themselves behind closed doors, but they can't do that anymore.

The Hokage Building has already made concessions, and if things still can't get going, then there's no way they're being suppressed.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Fugaku got excited.

"That makes sense!" He quickly got into character. "But if you go alone, it might raise suspicions. It would be better to bring a few more people; that would better demonstrate the Uchiha Clan's goodwill."

He knew about Hyuga Ziji; due to historical reasons, her "seniority" in Leaf Village was not low.

She is also one of the most powerful elders in the Hyuga Clan, highly respected within the Hyuga Clan, and enjoys extremely high support among the lower-level members.

If you do this favor well, the benefits will be huge.

Moreover, as both are relatively marginal ninja clans and both are clans that use Dōjutsu, the Hyuga Clan are also people that the Uchiha Clan must befriend.

"Why gather so many people?" Uchiha Shingen wondered, puzzled. What was this expressionless clan leader so excited about now?

Besides, he was looking for the Senju Muzoku of the Hammer; he was going to see if Madara had left anything good behind.

Too many people would be so inconvenient.

"That's too much, too much, Clan Chief." Uchiha Shingen said sternly, "The marks are too obvious."

"Hmm... that's true..." Uchiha Fugaku thought for a moment and agreed.

There was no way around it; after being stuck like this for so many years, it was inevitable that he would get excited when suddenly there was hope.

Being the clan chief must be incredibly stressful for him...

"Okay, be careful when you go out," he said in a formulaic manner.

The claim that the Uchiha Clan is the strongest is just a myth; anyone who takes it seriously is a fool. However, it is a fact that Uchiha Clan ninjas can be incredibly powerful once they get going.

With so many tricks up his sleeve, Uchiha Shingen wasn't worried about his safety at all.

"Alright, I'm off." Uchiha Shingen acknowledged, then used Flying Thunder God to instantly disappear from the scene.

A few blinks later, they appeared at the entrance of the Hokage Building.

Now, he can go to the Hokage's office without being stopped by the ANBU.

Knock on the office door and hear a "Come in" from inside. Uchiha Shingen pushes the door open and walks in, Namikaze Minato is writing furiously.

Uchiha Shingen timed it well; it's not time for the department meeting yet.

"Lord Hokage, I need to leave the village and just wanted to let you know."

"Oh, I see." Namikaze Minato didn't even look up.

Uchiha Shingen waited patiently, showing his experience.

After a while, Namikaze Minato suddenly looked up.

"Shingen, it's you." He put down his pen, rubbed his eyes, and asked, "What did you just say?"

"I'm here to report that I'm going out for a bit."

"What brings you out?" Namikaze Minato picked up his teacup, only to find he had already finished it.

"I went to the Hyuga Clan yesterday. Elder Murasaki was quite interested in it, so I'll look for it for her again."

"Oh..." Namikaze Minato remembered this matter, "Can we find it?"

"Do your best, it's not good to refuse."

"That's true." Namikaze Minato with deep feeling, "This elder is quite nice, very approachable."

I didn't know that before I became the Hokage, but after becoming the Hokage, I realized that the Hyuga Clan had such a powerful figure, with incredibly long and senior experience. Third and others had to treat him with great respect.

He was said to have a fiery temper when he was young, but he didn't seem to realize it.

"Since that's the case, perfect timing. There's some information you should pay attention to." Namikaze Minato opened the cabinet, pulled out a scroll, and handed it to Uchiha Shingen. "Take a look."

Uchiha Shingen opened it and began to read, his expression growing increasingly strange with each glance.

This guy hasn't joined Akatsuki yet?

"The intelligence indicates that this is a very powerful ninja. Recently, Bounty Exchange. This ninja is also searching for traces of Lord Wu Zu's legacy, and you might run into him," Namikaze Minato said.

Then his expression turned strange.

"There's some information I find a bit dubious; it claims they assassinated the First Lord..."

No, it's true...

This guy really did it. Whether you call it being scammed or overestimating his abilities, he really did it.

It can only be said that he chose a good target.

They encountered Senju Hashirama, who avoided killing whenever possible.

As the God of Shinobi who brought order to a chaotic world, Senju Hashirama was a true genius.

He knows Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, Space-Time Ninjutsu, Medical Ninjutsu, Sealing Jutsu, and immortal Senjutsu —he's proficient in them all. He's a true all-around monster; he's not a hexagon, he's a complete circle.

I used Wood Release all the time simply because I thought Wood Release was the easiest to use.

His only weakness is that his fantasies are slightly higher than reality.

Of course, this is much better than Uchiha Madara. Uchiha Madara was a complete fantasy, Senju Hashirama at least had two feet on the ground, while Uchiha Madara was floating in the sky.

"I understand." Uchiha Shingen handed the intelligence scroll back. "It shouldn't be long. If I do encounter any underworld ninjas, I'll play it by ear."

"It's good that you know what's going on." Namikaze Minato nodded. "Alright, go ahead. If it takes more than a month, go back to the village and check in. Don't end up like Jiraiya -Jiraiya, disappearing for months at a time."

"Good."

After reporting his arrival, Uchiha Shingen turned and set off.

Chapter 42 This place has been taken over by Leaf Village

After leaving Leaf Village, Uchiha Shingen first went to the Land of Hot Water.

It was not for any other reason than to destroy any spells left in the armory.

I was in a rush and didn't have time to make it.

The technique definitely has to be destroyed. Although it's just a complementary technique, and the risk of it falling out isn't great, it's still not good if someone else gets their hands on it.

He's always the one getting things for free; when has he ever been the one getting things for free?

This isn't a matter of technique; it's a matter of principle in being a person.

Uchiha Shingen first ran all the way to the border, and then followed the original route to the mountainous area in the northwest.

He was still very cautious, after all, the Cloud Ninja had already "redeemed" South Gate City.

Since even the Bounty Exchange has missions now, the Cloud Ninja probably won't let it go either.

The ninjas in the underworld are only in it for the money, while the Cloud Ninja have just been attacked and are determined to investigate.

Along the way, Uchiha Shingen began to discover traces of ninja activity.

Judging from the traces, there were quite a few people, but they were scattered.

It was likely left behind by underworld ninjas who lost or defected from the organization.

After losing their organization, these ninjas would have no "comrades." Even if they formed teams, it would only be driven by self-interest, with little trust or cooperation.

There are reasons why the various ninja villages look down on these ninjas.

As Uchiha Shingen drew closer, more and more traces appeared, including signs of a battle.

After venturing into the mountains, they even discovered several Explosive Tag traps.

Adhering to the principle of not wasting anything, he defused the trap and confiscated the Explosive Tag.

He didn't use the Flying Thunder God. Although he had no shortage of Chakra, he still wanted to conserve it in case the enemy outnumbered him.

Following the winding mountain road, Uchiha Shingen entered the depths of the dense forest.

This was also the first time he had encountered an enemy.

The other person had a cut on their Forehead Protector; they were missing-nin.

Hidden Mist Village.

This is not surprising. Since the Third Mizukage Hidden Mist Village the Blood Mist Policy, Kirigakure has been producing a large number of missing-nin, almost occupying half of the missing-nin world.

There are very few truly powerful ones; most are mid- to low-ranking ninjas who fled during the war.

The missing-nin saw Uchiha Shingen's face clearly halfway through his attack.

He turned and ran.

Then his head was severed by a chop that crackled with lightning.

Since upgrading to Mitsudomoe, no ninja below the Jonin has successfully used the Substitution Technique in front of him.

"Crazy..." Muttered to himself, Uchiha Shingen continued on his way.

He activated the Lightning Release Body Flicker Technique, treating it as a form of training.

Among techniques like Body Flicker Technique, Lightning Release Body Flicker Technique is the fastest, bar none.

After Uchiha Shingen digested the principles of the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, he recorded the technique and the Lightning Release Taijutsu he modified based on those principles into the Uchiha Clan Library.

There are actually quite a few Uchiha Clan who can manipulate the nature of lightning.

Few people use Wind Release techniques; Wind Nature Transformation is quite rare in the Land of Fire.

The idiom "swift as the wind and lightning" truly applies to Uchiha Shingen now.

Arcs of electricity generated by the Lightning Release Taijutsu flashed repeatedly through the forest.

As the crimson sun reached its highest point in the sky, Uchiha Shingen arrived at the location of his armory.

The seal is still intact, there are just a few more people now.

About five or six ninjas were attempting to break the seal with actions that Uchiha Shingen considered quite unprofessional.

After activating his Sharingan and carefully checking his surroundings to confirm that there were only a few people around, Uchiha Clan walked out.

These people didn't even notice that he had been squatting there for half a day, which seemed like a waste of his time.

No one shouted "Who goes there?" They were all ninjas who made a living in the underworld, so they weren't exactly eager to chat. When the ninjas saw Uchiha Shingen appear, they were first startled, and then they drew their weapons.

They each maintained a "safe distance".

Uchiha Shingen's identity is self-evident; he was dressed in Konoha Ninja attire.

Their first reaction was to suspect each other, believing that someone had made a deal with Leaf Village.

"Stop guessing, nobody made a deal with me." Uchiha Shingen interrupted their overly dramatic internal monologues. "Leaf Village has taken over this place. You can leave."

"Konoha Ninja, such a request is impossible... I'm sorry! I've disturbed you!"

One ninja initially spoke in a harsh tone, but halfway through his sentence, he saw Uchiha Shingen activate his Three-Tomoe Sharingan, and his attitude completely changed. He quickly bowed and disappeared.

The others reacted a little slower, but took the same actions.

"So you're Jonin from Hidden Leaf Village! Why didn't you say so sooner? I didn't see anything, I'm leaving now."

"Oh dear, the person who gave me the quest is gone, so this place is no longer my concern."

"Um... Jonin- sama, I'm just making some money, I absolutely have no intention of opposing Hidden Leaf Village. I'll leave immediately."

The group vanished in the blink of an eye.
