"Little Chuan, do we really want to sell our clan land?"

Fugaku Uchiha came closer and lowered his voice and asked.

The surrounding Uchiha people all looked at him, and they also wanted to hear Uchiha Chuan's reasons.

"Of course we want to sell it." Uchiha Chuan's voice was as calm as a deep pool of water, but everyone present could hear it clearly, "We Uchiha live in the middle of the village, like birds in a cage, and our every move is under the surveillance of others. How can a family really develop and grow in such an environment?"

"But Little Chuan," an elder Uchiha with a mustache couldn't help but say, "It's too far from the center of the village, just in case..."

The place that Uchiha Chuan is moving to is exactly the place where Uchiha was forced to move after Nine-Tails' Rampage in the original work.

"What if?" Uchiha Chuan interrupted him with a sneer at the corner of his mouth, "What if the higher-ups want to harm us? Or what if other families take the opportunity to attack?" His eyes swept over everyone present, "Don't you see it clearly yet? In the center of the village, we are the real turtles in the urn. With exclusive access and independent space, we can take the initiative."

"I understand, we believe you, since you said so, then we will do it." Fugaku Uchiha nodded directly.

"We also support Master Chuan's decision!" Uchiha members of Moderates immediately echoed loudly.

Uchiha Hardliners and Uchiha looked at each other first, then nodded and said, "As long as Uchiha can be revitalized, it doesn't hurt to move."

But there are still some people who are just pretending to express their opinions, and their expressions are still suspicious.

There is no way, after all, they have seen hope again. By killing their relatives, they can unlock the information of Mangekyō Sharingan.

"Let's go home." He put away the map, turned around and stepped forward. Uchiha Everyone followed him like a tide, their black uniforms forming a moving shadow in the sunset.

Not far away, Minato looked at Uchiha's retreating back, a complicated look flashed in his blue eyes.

"Little Chuan It really takes one step to see ten steps." He sighed softly, with admiration and a hint of worry in his voice.

Kushina stood beside him, her long red hair like a burning flame. She patted Minato's shoulder carelessly. "Of course! That's Uchiha's genius, someone I, Kushina, recognize!"

Minato smiled bitterly and shook his head, but there was nothing he could do about it. Who told him to just like Kushina?

"I just hope..." Minato whispered to himself, "It would be best not to be enemies with Uchiha Chuan in the future."

Also watching Uchiha Clan leave were the three people from F3.

They didn't speak, just watched in silence until Uchiha Clan walked away.

Third just said, "Let's go back to Hokage's Office."

Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura opened their mouths, wanting to say something, but thinking of Uchiha Chuan's pervasive monitoring, they silently closed their mouths.

I feel infinitely frustrated.

"Hey, let's leave too." Shikaku Nara said.

Then he left with Ino–Shika–Cho Three Clans.

"Hizashi, take Police Force back to patrol." Hyuga Hiashi said. After saying that, he turned and left.

The Inuzuka patriarch and the Aburame patriarch also made such arrangements.

Kurama Tianya Because he was the captain himself, he took his people back to patrol.

As for Kushina.

Then he said with high spirits, "Young men, let's go Training Ground Three, let's recruit the remaining four team members."

"Yes, Lord Kushina." In an instant, thirty-six civilian Police Force members shouted in unison.

As for the undercovers among them, they shouted even louder at this moment. After all, they also knew that their previous performance was too poor.

So, just like that, in the blink of an eye.

Hokage Building, which is so densely packed with people, the building becomes empty when people leave.

When the three returned to Hokage's Office, the ninjas of Barrier Team had completed their work. The leading ninja saluted respectfully. "Lord Hokage, the chakra isolation barrier you wanted has been set up."

Third nodded. "Thank you for your hard work, let's go down."

As Barrier Team left, Utatane Koharu couldn't wait to look around. "Is this the isolation barrier? Why don't you feel anything?"

"Haha, Yan, try using Transformation Technique and see." Third said with a slight smile.

Mitokado Homura did not answer, but quickly moved his hands Hand Seals: "Transformation Technique!"

There was a soft "bang" sound, and his figure twisted and changed, and in the blink of an eye he turned into the appearance of Shimura Danzō - including the iconic bandages and sinister eyes. However, this change only lasted less than a second, and there was another soft sound, and he returned to his original state.

"That's it." Mitokado Homura showed a stunned expression, "Any chakra leaving the body will be immediately isolated, which means that whether it is Invisibility Technique or other eavesdropping methods, they will be ineffective here."

Third blew out a smoke ring, and the wrinkles on his face became more profound in the smoke. "Now we can speak freely. About Uchiha Chuan..."

"Hiruzen, we must take action!" Utatane Koharu slammed the table and stood up, causing the teacup on the table to jingle. "That kid's behavior today has seriously crossed the line! He is openly challenging the order of Konoha!"

Mitokado Homura pressed her shoulders and signaled her to calm down. "Koharu, impatience will not solve the problem. Hiruzen, what is your plan?"

Third walked to the window and looked down at Konoha, who was gradually shrouded in night. The lights of thousands of houses flickered like stars, and the location where Uchiha Clan Territory was was shining with particularly dense light spots at this moment.

"Our previous strategy was wrong." He said slowly, with an unprecedented level of exhaustion in his voice, "Every time we took the initiative, but Uchiha Chuan just took advantage of the situation and used it as a trick. This made us restricted in every way, because he could always see through our intentions."

Utatane Koharu frowned. "Then what do you mean..."

"Keep your promise." Third turned around, with a flash of light in his eyes, "We will not suppress or target Uchiha for the time being. Let them expose the problem themselves, and then... it will be our turn to take advantage of them."

Mitokado Homura nodded thoughtfully. "Should we switch from taking the initiative to waiting for the enemy? Indeed, this way we can occupy the moral high ground and don't have to worry about falling into the other party's trap."

"But what if Uchiha Chuan really leads them out of our control?" Utatane Koharu asked unwillingly.

Third's eyes suddenly became sharp. At that moment, he was no longer the kind old man, but the all-powerful "Ninjutsu Professor" Shinobi World.

"The only thing we can do is..." He tapped the pipe lightly, sparks falling, "Let's see who is stronger."

The office fell into silence, with only the faint sound of burning tobacco in the pipe. Utatane Koharu slumped back on the chair, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to have deepened a lot.

"Damn Uchiha Chuan..." she cursed through gritted teeth, "Why did Uchiha produce such a monster..."
