The Senju remnants of the Uchiha clan

Chapter 150 Xianglin
Loulan came to ask for help... To be precise, the target of help was not Konoha Village, but the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

The Sand Village is crazy because of poverty.

When Loulan was on the verge of destruction, they set their sights on Loulan's "legacy" and wanted to swallow it up in one gulp to ease their financial pressure.

Loulan first asked the Daimyo of Wind Country for help, but after discussing with the nobles, the Daimyo of Wind Country decided to stand aside and watch.

They also knew that they had been exploiting the Sand Village too much, forcing the Kazekage Rasa to sell gold. It was not easy for the other party to find a "road to wealth", so they decided not to force them too hard.

If we continue to push them, the Sand Village will rebel...

So Queen Sarah of Loulan, in desperation, contacted the Daimyo of the Fire Nation with an attitude of giving it a try, expressing her willingness to submit to the Fire Nation and pay a large amount of compensation.

The Fire Nation was a big country, and the daimyo and nobles didn't care about the reward offered by Loulan, so they simply handed the decision to Konoha, but with one request...

"What? We can't take the initiative to have a direct conflict with the Sand Village? Then why should I save them?"

The white bird has black lines all over its head.

"It's just that they are not allowed to actively cause trouble... If Sunagakure continues to attack Loulan knowing that Konoha is protecting Loulan, then Konoha can passively counterattack..."

The daimyo of the Land of Fire rarely interfered with Konoha's actions, but as long as an order was given, Konoha would basically execute it unconditionally - the meager mission rewards alone were not enough to maintain the normal operation of the village, so a large part of the village's expenses had to rely on the daimyo and nobles.

"I understand... let's see how the situation develops." Shiratori waved at Kakashi and walked into the security building.

He had some ideas, because Loulan was indeed a good place, especially with the almost inexhaustible dragon veins underground...

It is indeed a good place to serve as an experimental base!
Entering the office on the top floor, Shiratori took out the letters from Orochimaru and Uchiha Fugaku. Unexpectedly, both parties were talking about basically the same thing, that is, Orochimaru defected from the Akatsuki organization...

Fugaku first provided some information about the Akatsuki organization, and then wrote about his battle with Orochimaru and Orochimaru's coveting of the Mangekyō Sharingan. He reminded Shiratori to be careful of this rebellious senior.

Shiratori was speechless after seeing the whole thing. Orochimaru had hit a wall with him before, but now he was hitting a different wall...

It’s true that a dog can’t change its habit of eating shit!

The letter from Orochimaru is more interesting. Although he also elaborated on the conflict with Fugaku, he kept silent about his own motives. Instead, he complained to Shiratori about how difficult this period was...

...It was indeed not easy. First, he was beaten by Fugaku, and then he was hunted by the Akatsuki organization. He finally caught his breath, but he ran into Jiraiya, so he had to start running again...

During this period, Jiraiya destroyed eight or nine of his research bases...

Of course, none of this has anything to do with Shiratori. Orochimaru's letter had only one purpose - there was no money left for scientific research.

If Shiratori could sponsor him some experimental funds and materials, he promised to continue teaching Kabuto Yakushi and make up for the lessons he had not finished before because he went to join the Akatsuki organization.

The white bird was moved.

He put down the letter, and first went to the orphanage to find Yakushi Kabuto, ending his "dropout" life; then he found Kisame and the other person wandering around the village...

.........

Seven days later.

In a small restaurant in a small town in the Land of Grass.

bang——

The door was pushed open, and a group of ninjas dressed in Kusagakure Village uniforms walked in swaggeringly.

Seeing these ninjas from Kusagakure Village, the tavern owner shrank his neck and said, "Dear ninjas, our shop is closed today..."

"Huh?" The leading ninja glared at the boss, frightening him so much that he trembled. "There are so many customers here, why are you lying? Hurry up and get some food. Are you afraid that I can't pay?"

"You never paid..." The boss couldn't help but whispered. "What did you say?"

"No, nothing..."

In the Land of Grass, the Hidden Grass Village is the "sky", and no one dares to mess with these evil stars.

Seeing the boss obediently going to the kitchen to prepare food, Captain Kusagakure nodded with satisfaction. They dispersed and found a place to sit down, revealing the mother and daughter who were "protected" by them.

The mother and daughter were dressed in rags and both had conspicuous red hair.

The mother had a pale face and a thin body, and her exposed wrists and neck were covered with dense teeth marks.

My daughter looked very healthy and was obviously well taken care of.

As the Kusagakure ninja took his seat, the mother held her daughter in her arms, squatted against the wall, and couldn't help closing her eyes.

She... is too tired.

The little girl hid timidly in her mother's arms, lowered her head and dared not make any sound.

At this moment, a hand stretched out in front of her, the palm opened, and there was a piece of candy inside.

"Little sister, your hair is so beautiful! Is it natural?" Shiratori squatted in front of the little girl and smiled kindly: "My name is Uchiha Shiratori, what's your name?"

"Xianglin..."

Karin didn't take the candy. She was still young and didn't know what the name "Uchiha Shiratori" meant.

When the Kusagakure ninjas discovered that Shiratori dared to approach the "forbidden food" of their Kusagakure Village, they immediately became alert.

"Hey! Little devils over there, stay away from them!" a ninja shouted.

Shiratori pretended not to hear and continued to ask Karin: "Are you a descendant of the Uzumaki clan?"

Karin nodded. Her mother was from the destroyed Uzumaki clan.

"Damn it! Are you deaf?!" a ninja from the Kusagakure Village yelled and stood up and walked towards this side.

And Xianglin's mother was finally awakened. She opened her eyes and apologized as usual: "I'm very sorry that I didn't hear you. Please don't hurt my daughter. I'll do anything for you!"

As she spoke, she was about to roll up her sleeves.

"Don't panic, I just want to ask a few questions..." Shiratori pressed the woman's hand and asked solemnly under the woman's puzzled gaze: "The Hidden Grass Village... knows that you are descendants of Uzumaki, right?"

The woman nodded subconsciously. She didn't even understand what was going on.

"You bastard..."

The Kusagakure ninja walked up to Shiratori and wanted to catch this bastard who didn't understand what people were saying, but his hand stopped abruptly halfway through.

"You, you are--" His face turned pale quickly, visibly.

Shiratori ignored him and stood up to look at the captain of Kusagakure: "As I recall... the Uzumaki clan is an ally of Konoha, right? Did you know about this?"

On the other side, Kisame put down his wine glass and grinned: "I bet these guys are going to be in trouble..."

Yakushi Kabuto pushed his glasses and said, "It may not be just these guys. I think Kusagakure Village is going to be in big trouble..."
