"Since the Uchiha Clan has joined Kumogakure, that's our fault. Hozuki Mangetsu, you can take your men and leave."
Hiruzen Sarutobi a step back.
At this point, it's best to back down; after all, the Hidden Kumogakure doesn't have many more days to cause trouble.
"Oh? As expected of the Third Hokage."
Hozuki Mangetsu showed no mercy, his tone full of sarcasm. After all, he hadn't expected that Hiruzen Sarutobi would let him go so easily.
No wonder the Fourth Lord Raikage jokingly called him the " Strongest Infighting Hokage "—he's so subservient to outsiders.
The Uchiha Clan clan members also wore meaningful smiles at this moment.
Well Hiruzen Sarutobi a fierce attack against the Uchiha Clan, but now you're all cowering before the Kumogakure. I can only say that you made the right choice this time.
"Take Uchiha Fugaku with you, let's go."
Hozuki Mangetsu then ordered everyone to take Uchiha Fugaku away, and the group left Konoha.
" Sarutobi, you've once again disgraced Konoha."
Danzo said coldly, in his view, Konoha no longer needed to consider the opinions of Kumogakure.
"What do you know? We can't rush things, especially in situations like this. I'm going to go see how Jiraiya's research is going."
Hiruzen Sarutobi ignored Danzo and, after ordering the Anbu to retreat, went to find Jiraiya himself.
He also knew that if this got out, Konoha would lose all its reputation, so he had to launch a counterattack against Kumogakure as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, Uchiha Itachi and Obito disappeared without a trace, presumably having joined the Akatsuki.
" Lord Raikage, the Uchiha Clan has arrived safely."
Led by Hozuki Mangetsu, the Uchiha Clan arrived in Kumogakure a week later.
At this time, Kumogakure was even more prosperous than Konoha, after all, Kumogakure's economy had reached the strongest in the Shinobi World, and exceeded the combined economy of the other ninja villages.
Thanks to Ziyun's vigorous development, the Kumogakure became just as prosperous as the Hidden Leaf Konoha, leaving the Uchiha Clan stunned.
Having lived in the outskirts of Konoha for a long time, they were naturally shocked to see such a prosperous scene.
"Welcome to the Uchiha Clan's residence in Kumogakure. From now on, your clan's territory will be adjacent to that of the Senju Clan."
Ziyun welcomed the Uchiha Clan and granted them a piece of central land in Kumogakure.
In fact, there aren't many powerful clans with bloodlines Kumogakure now, and there's plenty of land in the center of the village, so giving it to the Uchiha Clan wouldn't be a problem.
"Thank you, Lord Raikage -Lord Raikage. We will never forget your great kindness. The Kumogakure Uchiha Clan to serve Kumogakure to the death."
Having recovered somewhat Uchiha Fugaku quickly expressed his gratitude to Ziyun.
I didn't expect the Raikage to be so generous; I definitely made the right choice this time.
After all, if they had stayed in Konoha, how could the Uchiha Clan have received such treatment?
" The Uchiha Clan has also joined Kumogakure."
At this moment, Mikoto also appeared and came to Ziyun's side.
Upon seeing Mikoto, the Uchiha Clan clan members instinctively stepped back.
After all, they had a grudge against Uchiha Mikoto, and they were afraid that this female demon would suddenly make a move.
The opponent is a woman who Awakening the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan; even if the entire Uchiha Clan were united, they wouldn't be a match for her.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here to welcome you. My grudge is with the former Uchiha Clan clan head and the former Uchiha Clan elder, it has nothing to do with you."
"Besides, I am indeed a member of the Uchiha Clan clan. I am very happy that you have come to Konoha. Kumogakure is your home, so you can live here without worry."
"If you have any difficulties in talking about, you can come to me, and I can help you."
Mikoto delivered a speech that appeased the Uchiha Clan.
After hearing this, the Uchiha Clan calmed down. Now that the hatred had been resolved, they could live in Kumogakure with peace of mind.
So Uchiha Fugaku happily led his people to build the new clan territory.
"Praise me quickly."
Mikoto Ziyun for praise.
"As expected of Mikoto."
Ziyun hugged Mikoto and gently tapped her forehead.
Actually Ziyun didn't ask Mikoto to show up; her presence here was probably Mikoto's own idea.
She came to the Uchiha Clan Uchiha Clan facilitate their smoother entry into Kumogakure.
After all, the Uchiha Clan is inherently sensitive and suspicious, and their emotions are fragile. If their defenses are not lifted, it will be quite troublesome.
So Mikoto came up with this idea, and it seems to have been very successful. The Uchiha Clan has lowered their guard and should be able to serve the Kumogakure wholeheartedly.
Meanwhile, news of the Uchiha Clan joining Kumogakure ) also spread throughout the Shinobi World.
The various ninja villages and the Kage were shocked once again, especially after learning the details of the incident.
"Hmph, Konoha is finished... They actually let Kumogakure come to their village demanding their people, and they even let the Uchiha Clan escape."
Ōnoki looked at the new intelligence and snorted coldly.
The Konoha High Command is too cowardly. Hozuki Mangetsu, an ordinary Kage Level, led dozens of Kumogakure to brazenly storm into Konoha and actually withdrew unscathed.
They even took the Uchiha Clan and Uchiha Fugaku, along with the Konoha High Command officials... What a bunch of useless trash.
It turns out that Ōnoki had some admiration for Hiruzen Sarutobi, after all, the two were of similar age and had similar experiences, and both had held the highest power in the village for decades.
But now Ōnoki looks Hiruzen Sarutobi because he's much more cowardly than him.
If things continue like this, Konoha is not far from destruction.
Without the Uchiha Clan and the Fourth Hokage, Konoha only had Jiraiya besides Hiruzen Sarutobi Shimura Danzō, who were both Kage Level.
Konoha is now at its weakest point, just waiting for a trigger to ignite a conflict.
" Kitsuchi, inform everyone to intensify their training during this period. Another great battle may be coming soon, and we must obtain something. Konoha may very well be destroyed."
Ōnoki instructed Kitsuchi.
Konoha is so fertile that even now, Konoha economy is second only to Kumogakure.
Meanwhile, Rasa of Sunagakure shared the same idea as Ōnoki.
Konoha is too weak, and they handled this matter in a very cowardly manner.
Rasa felt that if he were in such a situation, he would fight to the bitter end rather than let Kumogakure leave so easily.
In fact, Rasa was overthinking it. After all, he hadn't experienced it firsthand, so it was much easier for him to just imagine it.
It's impossible to let him die in vain, and also drag the Sunagakure down with him.
However, this did not stop Rasa from looking down on the Konoha High Command. He was also secretly preparing that once a major war broke out, Sunagakure would also turn its attention to Konoha.
Meanwhile, Hiruzen Sarutobi was also busy preparing for the Impure World Reincarnation.
To summon the dead using the Impure World Reincarnation, three conditions must be met.
First, a certain amount of the deceased's physical body needs to be extracted; if this condition is not met, reincarnation is impossible.
However, the body of the First Hokage Hashirama Senju, has been perfectly preserved within Konoha, a condition that is easily met.
Secondly, the soul of the person being reincarnated must exist in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss and must not be sealed.
If the soul is sealed, it cannot be summoned.

However, this is not really a problem. Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju have been dead for many years, and their souls must exist in Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
The last condition is the most stringent one.
That is, the body of a living person must be used as a container for the soul of the deceased, so that the soul of the deceased can attach itself to the container.
The problem is that if you want the summoned dead to be powerful, then the vessel containing their souls should also be powerful.
Otherwise, the power of Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju would be greatly reduced, so it would be better not to summon them at all.
"This is a serious problem, Danzo. It's time for you to sacrifice yourself for Konoha."
Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at Danzo beside him.
... 0
Danzo now possesses a significant number of Hashirama Cells, greatly enhancing his strength. Furthermore, he has taken some Sharingan from the Uchiha Clan.
Although not as many as in the original work, some of the Uchiha Clan clan members were still killed by Itachi, Sharingan naturally went to Danzo.
If Danzo is used as a vessel, then the summoned Hashirama Senju will definitely be close to his strength in life.
" Sarutobi, don't even think about it. Konoha needs me right now. How could I possibly die like this?"
Danzo angrily refused.
I never expected Hiruzen Sarutobi to pull this trick on me, trying to make me sacrifice myself for justice?
You yourself can use the Reaper Death Seal Technique, so why don't you sacrifice yourself for righteousness?
If you had made up your mind to use the Reaper Death Seal Technique decades ago to seal away Yeyue Ziyun, none of this nonsense would exist now.
"What can we do then? If summoning the First Hokage doesn't bring him the same power he had in life, then everything is meaningless."
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked worried and distressed.
After all these years, he didn't know how much Yeyue Ziyun had grown.
Unless it's Hashirama Senju his peak, a weakened version of Hashirama Senju would have no chance against Yeyue Ziyun.
" Lord Hokage, someone wants to see you. He says he can provide the perfect vessel for the Impure World Reincarnation."
Just then, an Anbu suddenly reported to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
