Five days
The Uchiha Clan's defection.
It's like dropping a torpedo onto a calm lake.
The Shinobi World, which had only recently achieved some peace, was greatly shaken by the announcements from the Land of Fire and the Land of Water.
First, the Land of Fire announced the defection of the Uchiha clan from Konoha, and then the Land of Water, which had been closed off for many years, suddenly emerged.
The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi Three-Tails Jinchūriki, announced the acceptance of the Uchiha Clan on behalf of the Karatachi Yagura.
They presented various pieces of evidence to show that Sarutobi Third Hokage, along with Danzo and other Konoha High Command officials, had been ostracizing the Uchiha Clan in various ways within the village.
Even their base was strategically located in a corner of the village, under constant surveillance by the Anbu police!
In addition, it was revealed that the Konoha High Command officials coveted the village's clan secret techniques, Kekkei Genkai from their Dōjutsu.
They secretly conducted human experiments and harmed the village's Kekkei Genkai ninjas.
The infighting between Konoha and Kirigakure also prompted the other three major nations to secretly take action.
"The intelligence relayed back by the spy is almost identical to what the Mizukage said."
Upon hearing his subordinate's report, a glint of light flashed in Ōnoki's eyes as he floated in mid-air.
"Send people to investigate; the spies can be a little more aggressive."
"Also, have the ninjas on the border cause a little disturbance and see how Konoha reacts."
He was about two meters tall, with broad shoulders and a thick waist.
His white robe was half-open, revealing the bulging muscles of his upper body.
Just standing in front of this person, one can feel an overwhelming, imposing aura!
"Spies and spies, these petty tricks are unnecessary!"
"Send a delegation directly to Konoha to investigate!"
The Fourth Raikage A, cracked his knuckles.
The city was surrounded by sandstorms in the center.
The Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, gazed towards Konoha, a strange glint in his eyes.
Compared to this yellow world...
That fertile land is more suitable for the survival of the Sand shinobi.
Konoha, Hokage Building.
Wearing the Hokage hat, which made him look even older, Sarutobi said softly, "Still no news?"
The Anbu at the bottom shook his head. "The third team responsible for tracking the Uchiha Clan has all gone missing, and there's been no news since."
" Lord Jiraiya has received the message, but there has been no response."
" Lady Tsunade... she directly refused."
"Is that so..."
Sarutobi sighed softly, pondered for a moment, and then said seriously, "The work of appeasing the villagers must be done well!"
"Those strange rumors are off-limits for discussion!"
As he spoke, a hint of malice flashed in Sarutobi's eyes. "If any foreign spies show up during this period..."
"Kill!"
Such a big thing happened.
Other ninja villages will inevitably try to probe us, so we must maintain a sufficiently tough stance at this time!
However, we can't just put on a show; the village's actual strength still needs to be strengthened.
The day after the incident, Sarutobi's first action was to summon Jiraiya and Tsunade back to the village.
Looking at the few empty chairs beside him, Sarutobi began to miss the days when Danzo was still around.
shore.
A spacious wooden cabin, with familiar soft cushions.
Haruma took a sip of the hot tea that Mikoto had just brewed, squinting her eyes with a look of enjoyment.
Wherever you go, you build houses; you can rest whenever you want. The practicality of Wood Release is truly impressive.
Over five days, to prevent any accidents, Haruma and Fugaku escorted their clansmen all the way to the handover site.
Mei Terumi and the others had already been notified using the Magic Lantern Body Technique, so now all they need to do is wait on the shore for Kirigakure to send a ship to pick them up.
Aren't you coming back with us?
"It's water!" asked Shisui, who was standing nearby.
Haruma shook her head. "I don't have anything to do back in Kirigakure now."
"The company is just starting out, and the Land of Water's economic recovery plan has only just begun."
"Instead of wasting time in that vast expanse of white, we'd be better off checking out the company's new branch."
Fugaku's face darkened. To put it bluntly, Kirigakure is just not Kirigakure right now, so you don't want to go back?
Did you bring our clan here because of the unfair treatment we received in Konoha, or to help you build a base in the rear...?
Fugaku has a clear understanding of this.
"The company's new branch?"
Mikoto, who originally intended to visit her son, had participated in every Shapeshifting gathering and knew quite a bit of information.
But I've never heard of the company's new branch.
Not only Mikoto, Shisui was also completely bewildered.
Haruma nodded and said softly, "The company's new branch is in Sunagakure."
Upon hearing this, Shisui was shocked. "When did you defeat the Kazekage?"
Haruma said casually, "Not yet. I'll open it when I go there in a few days."
Shisui awkwardly scratched his head; his best friend's confidence could sometimes be truly baffling.
"You, Kirigakure, know the situation in Shisui better than anyone else."
"Once the people sent by the secretary arrive, you should take your clansmen there and settle them in."
As she Haruma, Haru glanced at Fugaku: "This old bastard wants to come with me to check out the branch. You'll have to put in some extra effort over there regarding the family matters."
Fugaku didn't react much upon hearing this, as if he already knew.
Shisui glanced at the clan leader in surprise, then nodded.
Taking some time to immerse yourself and strengthen your abilities would be beneficial.
At first, he was carefree, eating and drinking without a care in the world; in the middle, he was responsible for cleaning up the shrimp and watching him show off; and at the end, he was busy making brother files.
The amazing experience of going on a mission with a close friend is something that Chief Fugaku should also experience.
Several large ships emerged from the thick fog in the distance.
Haruma put down her teacup and looked at Mikoto Fugaku: "Should we give you two some time to say goodbye?"
"No need, we can set off now."
Fugaku stood up and spoke calmly.
We've been married for so long, there's no need for a farewell speech before a mission.
Mikoto rolled her eyes at her husband and said coldly, "No need. Just don't forget to let me know next time you see Itachi."
"All right."
Haruma shrugged, placed one hand on Fugaku's shoulder, and activated Flying Thunder God Technique.
A vast expanse of golden yellow, like a golden ocean.
A gentle breeze stirred, carrying specks of fine sand that drifted across the sky.
Red cloud pattern, black robe, wooden mask.
Familiar outfit, Obito x2!
Haruma and Fugaku, both disguised in the same way, strolled across the yellow sand.
Because they hadn't left any Flying Thunder God Mark beforehand, the two traveled from the Land of Water through the Land of Whirlpools, the Land of Fire, and the Land of Rivers.
It took us nearly four days to get here.
This journey through Fugaku was quite an experience, a unique mission.
I want to eat the best food at the hotel and have the softest bed at the hotel.
It's supposed to be a mission, but it feels more like a vacation.
If he weren't constantly forced to use Genjutsu to settle the bill, Fugaku might feel better.
When they parted ways with Mikoto and the others, the two of them were penniless.
It took four days to complete...
Fugaku looked at the three scrolls filled with silver in his arms and shook his head.
Thankfully, I was wearing a mask the whole time...
Otherwise, you'll really lose your face.
P. S. -- The book's performance wasn't great, but Sister Shark is still updating three chapters every day!
There might be two updates a day, but it definitely won't have a bad ending!!
Finally, I'd like to request an update reminder button and some free electricity generation!
