However, for Uchiha Kakuyama, being able to learn the remaining techniques of Dust Release and those Earth Release techniques with decent power was already quite satisfying.

Uchiha Kakuyama closed the scroll with satisfaction and casually tossed it into his spatial dimension, much to the envy of the Third Hokage, since space-time ninjutsu required exceptional talent.

Without talent, even the Third Hokage, known as the "Ninja Doctor," would not be able to master space-time ninjutsu.

Having obtained what he wanted, Uchiha Kakuzan was about to leave when the Third Hokage called him back.

Seeing Uchiha Kakuyama looking at him with a puzzled expression, the Third Hokage's expression also turned serious:

"Kiyama-kun, there are about two months left before Jiraiya returns. You need to be careful then. Don't be fooled by Jiraiya's usual carefree attitude; sometimes his intuition is very accurate. So, be careful and avoid meeting him if possible."

Uchiha Kakuzan was also very curious about Jiraiya. He happened to hear the Third Hokage mention him today, so he took the opportunity to ask, "Third Hokage, wasn't Jiraiya your student like Tsunade? Why isn't he staying in Konoha Village? Why is he always outside?"

The Third Hokage shook his head with some regret and said, "Everything comes at a price. Back then, Jiraiya didn't have a bloodline limit, he didn't have a summoning beast, he was also unruly, and his strength was the weakest among the trio."

"Later, Orochimaru somehow gained the favor of the Earth Dragon Cave and signed a contract with it, while Tsunade had a contract with the Shikkotsu Forest passed down in her family. So when Jiraiya realized that he was the only one without a contracted summoning beast, he recklessly used the Summoning Jutsu and was reverse-summoned into Mount Myōboku, where he gained the mountain's approval."

"However, after Jiraiya grew up, he stopped listening to the village and instead ran off all the time, saying that the toad sage of Mount Myōboku had given him a mission."

"Later, as you know, Tsunade developed hemophobia and left the village. Orochimaru violated the village's rules by experimenting on people, and when I discovered this, he defected. Jiraiya, who was also close to Orochimaru, also ran away, searching for Orochimaru while completing the mission given to him by Mount Myōboku."

"However, although Jiraiya is always out, he often sends me information and comes back every now and then,"

“I received news from him a couple of days ago, and he said he would be back in two months.”

"As for Jiraiya, he has always been deeply in love with Tsunade. If he comes back this time and finds out that you and Tsunade are together, he probably won't be able to accept it and will cause trouble for you."

Uchiha Kakuzan didn't take Jiraiya seriously at all. His previous fear of summoning beasts stemmed from the fact that the three sacred lands were wary of him, because Jiraiya's strength wasn't yet sufficient.

There happens to be a toad sage in Mount Myōboku who has lived for over a thousand years and can make some prophecies. If he suddenly loses his mind and prophesies that he will become a threat to the ninja world, wouldn't that be very disadvantageous for him?

However, things are different now. With Uchiha Kakuzan's current strength, not only Mount Myōboku, but even if the Ten-Tails were to be resurrected, Uchiha Kakuzan would have the confidence to fight it.

Moreover, thanks to Tsunade, he has already signed a contract with Shikkotsu Forest, so Uchiha Kakuzan doesn't really care about Jiraiya anymore.

However, Uchiha Kakuzan was somewhat curious about the work Jiraiya gave to the Third Hokage, wondering if it was what he was thinking.

After the Third Hokage, Uchiha Kakuzan, finished speaking, he asked with some curiosity, "Third Hokage, what work did Jiraiya give you? Can I see it?"

The Third Hokage was speechless upon hearing Uchiha Kakuzan's words. He hadn't expected that Kakuzan, instead of thinking of a solution at this crucial moment, would be interested in such trivial matters.

Seeing that the Third Hokage was pretending not to hear, Uchiha Kakuyama became even more curious about Jiraiya's work, and then urged, "Third Hokage, may I take a look at Jiraiya's work?"

The Third Hokage, unable to pretend he hadn't heard any longer, coughed awkwardly, his old face flushing, and said, "Jiraiya's works are somewhat unsuitable for formal occasions; you'd better not read them."

Uchiha Kakuzan became even more concerned upon hearing the Third Hokage's words, and urged him repeatedly, "It's alright, I'm just an ordinary person, and I happen to enjoy watching these kinds of things."

Knowing he couldn't refuse, the Third Hokage, Uchiha Kazuyama, reluctantly took a book from his pocket and handed it to him.

Uchiha Kakuzan hadn't expected that the Third Hokage would hide the book in his clothes. He must have valued it more than the Scroll of Seals, since he had never carried the Scroll of Seals with him.

Uchiha Kakuyama took the book handed to him by the Third Hokage, glanced at the cover, which featured a scantily clad young woman and the book's title—Make-Out Paradise (Volume 1).

Uchiha Kakuyama couldn't help but chuckle. It really was this divine book.

It should be said that Jiraiya inherited the Third Hokage's true talent—his lechery. Moreover, many people in the Third Hokage's lineage also inherited this trait.

For example, Kakashi is always carrying a erotic book with him, while Naruto Uzumaki is a genius who invented the harem technique, and Konohamaru, the grandson of the Third Hokage, is also a master of this art.

In fact, Uchiha Kakuzan was also very curious about what exactly was written in this "Icha Icha Paradise" that made the Third Hokage and Kakashi so obsessed.

However, it wasn't appropriate to look at it in front of the Third Hokage, so I just stuffed it into my ninja tool pouch and planned to look at it when I had time.

The Third Hokage's lips twitched with heartache when he saw how roughly Uchiha Kakuzan had treated this book.

Chapter 194 Danzo deserves to die!

Chapter 194 Danzo Deserves to Die

Under the Third Hokage's distressed gaze, Uchiha Kakuzan casually stuffed the "Icha Icha Paradise" gift that Jiraiya had given him into his ninja tool pouch.

Having finished his business here, Uchiha Kazuyama greeted the Third Hokage and left the Hokage's office. The Third Hokage raised his hand, still wanting to ask for the return of Icha Icha Paradise, but before he could say anything, Uchiha Kazuyama had already run off, leaving the Third Hokage standing there for a long time.

After leaving the Hokage Building, Uchiha Kakuyama did not rush on his way. Instead, he took out Icha Icha Paradise and read it as he walked.

Jiraiya is truly a master of this art. Although the content of his book is rather old-fashioned, it is still a rare masterpiece in the culturally impoverished world of ninjas.

Moreover, the gift Jiraiya gave to the Third Hokage was the first edition of Icha Icha Paradise, and it even had Jiraiya's autograph on it, so it has a certain collectible value.

Uchiha Kakuzan didn't go to Tsunade's place again. Since they would meet every night anyway, he would tell her about Jiraiya then. So, Uchiha Kakuzan went straight back to the Uchiha clan's territory and headed towards Mikoto's house.

Unexpectedly, before Uchiha Kakuzan even reached Mikoto's house, he was caught red-handed by the people sent by the elder, who said they had something to discuss with him.

Uchiha Kakuzan had no choice. The Grand Elder had just given him two pretty young maids, and he was too embarrassed to refuse, so he followed the messenger to the Grand Elder's house.

It was the same reception room that Uchiha Kakuzan was familiar with. Ever since Uchiha Kakuzan awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, he had become a regular visitor to the First Elder's room, and all matters, big and small, of the Uchiha clan were discussed here.

Uchiha Kakuyama could more or less guess the purpose of the Grand Elder's visit.

Just after Uchiha Kagami sat down, the Grand Elder entered from behind, a slight smile on his face.

After the elder leisurely brewed the tea, Uchiha Kakuzan did not stand on ceremony and drank the tea in the cup in one gulp. He then placed the empty cup in front of the elder.

The elder saw Uchiha Kakuyama drinking tea like a cow chewing on a peony, and his eyes twitched slightly. He poured him another cup and placed it in front of him.

The elder focused his gaze on Uchiha Qiushan's face, trying to avoid looking at the teacup: "Qiushan, I called you here today to ask if you have anything to do lately?"

Under the Elder's concerned gaze, Uchiha Kakuzan took another sip of tea, but this time only a small sip. He then picked up a piece of mung bean cake from the tea snacks, put it in his mouth, and replied, "It's nothing. I just wander around the village all day. Elder, you know, although I'm nominally a member of the Anbu, the Third Hokage hasn't really restricted me much."

So I've been pretty idle all day. A few days ago I went on a mission to bring Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin, back to the village. It seems the Third Hokage is planning to let her take over as Hokage. But Tsunade's attitude towards me is good, and our Uchiha clan is all planning to relocate, so there won't be much conflict with her, which is why I didn't tell you.

The elder nodded. He had already received news of Tsunade's return to the village. Although Tsunade was a member of the Senju clan, she had grown up in Konoha and had experienced the baptism of war, so she had a good overall perspective and did not have much prejudice against the Uchiha clan. Therefore, he decided to wait and see.

The elder took a sip of tea, seemed to taste its bitterness, frowned slightly, and said, "Hopefully, after Tsunade takes office, she will be less hostile to our Uchiha clan. Otherwise, we will have no choice but to move all the clan members away."

Originally, Uchiha Kakuyama and the Grand Elder had agreed that even if the Uchiha clan moved away, they would first leave behind the families whose children were studying at the Ninja Academy so that they could take care of their children. However, at this critical juncture, Princess Tsunade of the Senju clan was about to take over as Hokage. Although he observed that Tsunade did not seem to be very hostile towards the Uchiha clan, she was, after all, a member of the Senju clan, and who knew if she would change her attitude after taking office.

Uchiha Kakuzan was aware of the elder's concerns, but he couldn't tell the elder that Tsunade was already one of his people. He could only reassure him, "Elder, it's alright, don't worry. I've also had contact with Tsunade, and she's probably not that kind of person. Besides, I've given them a new target, and they don't have time to cause trouble for our Uchiha clan right now."

Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuyama's words, the elder suddenly seemed to remember something and tentatively asked, "The one who possesses the Rinnegan?"

Uchiha Kakuzan nodded. "I've figured it out. That person with the Rinnegan was provoked by Danzo. Danzo plotted to kill one of his comrades before, which is why he came to Konoha to cause trouble."

In fact, Uchiha Kakuzan wasn't wrong. If it weren't for Danzo, that troublemaker who wanted to meddle in everything, and his interference in the clash between Yahiko, the initial leader of Akatsuki, and Hanzo of the Salamander from Amegakure, Yahiko wouldn't have died. And if Yahiko hadn't died, Akatsuki wouldn't have fallen into the hands of the charlatan Obito Uchiha, and Nagato wouldn't have agreed to the Tailed Beasts collection plan.

Therefore, in the final analysis, Danzo truly deserves a lot of credit for the fact that Konoha Village was razed to the ground by Pain's super Shinra Tensei.

The elder hadn't expected that the Rinnegan user's attack on Konoha was actually Danzo's doing. Recalling Danzo's usual actions against the Uchiha clan, he blurted out, "Danzo deserves to die!"

Uchiha Kakuyama shrugged and spread his hands: "So, even if Tsunade takes over as Hokage, she won't have time to cause us any trouble, so you can rest assured."

The elder nodded in relief, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Qiu Shan, do you think we should help Konoha? Although our Uchiha clan has already left Konoha, our generation grew up in Konoha after all. If we don't help, it would be a real pity if we really destroyed Konoha."

Upon hearing the elder's words, Uchiha Kakuzan put down the teacup he had just raised to drink from, looked at the elder with a strange expression, and remained silent.

The elder felt uncomfortable under Uchiha Kakuzan's gaze and quickly laughed it off, saying, "Haha, if Konoha is destroyed, so be it. What does it have to do with us Uchiha? Our Uchiha clan was almost wiped out. It's none of their business."

Chapter 195 The Uchiha Clan's Relocation

Chapter 195 The Uchiha Clan's Relocation

Upon hearing the elder's words, Uchiha Kakuyama withdrew his gaze from him, took another sip of the slightly bitter tea, and said leisurely, "I didn't expect the elder to have such a cute side."

Upon hearing Uchiha Kagami's words, the First Elder blushed slightly and explained somewhat stubbornly, "I also felt that it wasn't easy for our ancestors to establish Konoha Village, and that it also contains the hard work of our Uchiha clan. That's why I was thinking of helping them. If it would harm our Uchiha clan, you can decide whether I agree or not."

Seeing that the Grand Elder was still putting on a brave face, Uchiha Kakuzan didn't expose him. Instead, he suddenly asked, "Does the Grand Elder know what I sent Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi to do?"

The elder shook his head: "I don't know. You are now the vice-head of the Uchiha clan, and you are now the leader of the Uchiha clan. You must have your reasons for sending those two boys out. I will not interfere."

Uchiha Kakuyama looked at the First Elder with a meaningful expression and said in a leisurely tone, "First Elder, have you ever thought about what kind of matter would require two pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan to accomplish?"

Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuzan's words, the elder was startled, even spilling the hot tea in his hand. He stared at Uchiha Kakuzan in astonishment: "What did you send Shisui and Itachi to do?"

Uchiha Kakuyama gave the First Elder a half-smile: "Just as our beloved First Elder thought, I've identified the organization that the person with the Rinnegan belongs to. So, I sent Shisui and Itachi out to investigate and see if we can nip the danger in the bud."

"Of course, I have already provided some insurance for Brother Zhishui and the others to ensure their safety."

After Uchiha Kakuyama finished speaking, he suddenly slapped his forehead in annoyance: "Oh, right, I haven't given you an insurance policy yet, Elder."

Then, Uchiha Kakuzan looked at the Grand Elder and said, "Grand Elder, don't resist. I'll give you something good."

After saying that, Uchiha Kakuyama did not wait for the elder to object, but activated the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan and activated the eye technique to mark a Kamui dimension spatial mark on the elder's forehead.

After marking the space, Uchiha Kakuyama slowly closed his Sharingan and explained the use of the spatial imprint to the elder.

After explaining, Uchiha Kakuyama said with a smile, "I marked both Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi. As long as they encounter something they can't fight, they can use this mark to return to the Kamui dimension and escape."

The elder nodded, relieved, and the conversation ended there.

After Uchiha Kakuzan finished telling his story, the elder also mentioned the purpose of his summons.

"Qiu Shan, I've contacted Chief Fugaku. The clan's territory on Uzushima Island is almost complete. Do you have time these next few days to use your eye technique to send all the clan members there?"

When the elder summoned him, Uchiha Kakuzan already guessed what it was about, and readily nodded.

"No problem, I'm free these few days and can send all the tribespeople over. However, it will have to be done in batches; I can't send them all at once. We'll also send the supplies our tribe has prepared. Although there are plenty of animals on the island, and we can hunt and farm, we still need to prepare food, salt, and medicine."

The Grand Elder nodded: "I have prepared everything you mentioned, enough to sustain the clan for five years. If we cannot achieve self-sufficiency on Whirlpool Island within five years, then there's no point in talking about developing and growing stronger."

Next, the elder led Uchiha Kakuyama to collect all the Uchiha clan's heritage materials from his house, intending to return them to him after he moved to Uzushima Island.

Next, the elder led Uchiha Kakuyama to the Uchiha clan's storage area, which had three large warehouses piled up like small mountains. It was only because the Uchiha clan was not short of money that they had collected all the supplies they had accumulated over the past few years, ensuring that the Uchiha clan could live a relatively comfortable life on Whirlpool Island.

The First Elder watched as Uchiha Kakuyama collected all the supplies from the warehouse, a hint of worry in his eyes. Only after Uchiha Kakuyama had stored the supplies in his spatial storage did the First Elder say with concern:

"Qiu Shan, you shouldn't use the Mangekyou Sharingan's eye techniques too frequently, or your eyes won't be able to take it."

The Uchiha clan's inherited scriptures record the eye techniques of the Mangekyou Sharingan. Although their power is strong or bizarre, they all share the characteristic of consuming a lot of energy. Although the Uchiha clan's chakra is much stronger than that of ordinary ninjas, they still cannot withstand the drain. Even the genius ninja Kakashi struggles to maintain a single Sharingan. Therefore, the Grand Elder was somewhat worried after seeing Uchiha Kakuzan frequently use his eye techniques.

In the elder's heart, Uchiha Kakuzan was responsible for the future of the Uchiha clan and could not afford any problems. If Uchiha Kakuzan were to encounter any issues, neither the indecisive Uchiha Fugaku, nor the brainwashed Uchiha Shisui with the Will of Fire, nor the mentally troubled Uchiha Itachi, could shoulder the responsibility of leading the Uchiha clan.

However, what the Grand Elder didn't know was that since Uchiha Kakuzan obtained the Uzumaki clan's bloodline, he had never worried about chakra again. And after obtaining the Sage Body, he was able to use chakra and the Sharingan without restraint. Uchiha Kakuzan could be said to be the man with the longest endurance in the ninja world.

Of course, Uchiha Kakuzan couldn't explain it to the Grand Elder either, so he could only tell him to let it go and that he was absolutely fine.

Seeing that Uchiha Kakuyama wasn't putting on a brave face, the elder was temporarily relieved. However, he still made up his mind to arrange for the clan members to relocate to Uzushima in several batches, and to extend the relocation time appropriately, so that Uchiha Kakuyama could handle it.

Over the next few days, Uchiha Kakuyama stayed in the clan's territory. The elder was in charge of organizing and queuing, while Uchiha Kakuyama was in charge of transportation, sending the clan members to Uzushima Island in many trips, organized by family.

Meanwhile, on Uchiha Fugaku's island, he was responsible for receiving and coordinating the clansmen, ensuring that the newly arrived clansmen were properly settled.

The entire clan relocation took three days. Although Uchiha Kakuzan said he could handle it and could speed up the process, the Grand Elder insisted on extending the time and the number of batches, which is why it took three days.

After three days of relocation, there were not many Uchiha clan members left in Konoha, only a dozen or so families. After all, the Ninja Academy only has a six-year schooling period, so only a dozen or so children were still studying at the school.

P.S.: Happy Mid-Autumn Festival everyone! Happy! Happy!
