Naruto: I, Naruto, don't want to try anymore.

Chapter 60 The Nine-Layered City Wall Technique

boom--

In the Land of Hot Springs, deep within the forest, a great battle was about to begin.

The dark red Susanoo wielded its long sword, slaying all the enemies that came to attack.

In just one encounter, the team of dozens of people lost nearly half of their number!

Danzo showed no pity for the situation, but instead glared angrily at the sensory ninja beside him.

"Wasn't it said that the Jinchūriki was fine? Why is it a shadow clone?"

"I am so sorry, Lord Danzo."

The ninja knelt on one knee: "However, based on my senses, that shadow clone did indeed possess more than a hundred times the chakra of an ordinary person..."

"hundred times…"

Danzo's pupils contracted. A single shadow clone possessed a hundred times the chakra?

Are you kidding me?

Danzo glanced at Fugaku Uchiha, who was wreaking havoc in the crowd, and then at the direction of the Cloud Village ninja. His expression grew increasingly grim.

He intended to take this opportunity to control the Nine-Tails and break the Uchiha's backbone.

As a result, not only was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki not returned, but it also triggered the Uchiha's defection.

Only he, Koharu Utatane, and Homura Mitokado knew about this transaction.

Danzo was quite certain that Hiruzen Sarutobi was also aware of this, but judging from their tacit understanding over the years, the other party had clearly acquiesced.

In other words, among the higher-ups, only Jiraiya, the Hokage, was completely unaware of this operation.

However, such a huge mess cannot be ignored, no matter how much one tries to manage it.

Not to mention that his position had long been removed by Hiruzen Sarutobi, and he would be in deep trouble just for the crime of arbitrarily mobilizing ANBU ninjas.

Thinking of this, Danzo's face grew even more gloomy.

Fortunately, it seemed that the Hidden Cloud Village had already established contact with the Uchiha clan, which put him at ease. This meant that he could at least shift the blame onto the Uchiha.

In Konoha, it was likely that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki assisted the Uchiha in their defection.

It's too late to go back now.

That brat's shadow clone has a hundred times more chakra than an ordinary person, and he also masters the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Even if we don't take the entire Uchiha clan to Kumogakure, at least getting them out of Konoha's control is definitely not a problem.

This time the losses are huge...

As Danzo gazed at Susanoo, which was wreaking havoc in the arena, his eyes grew even more profound.

With Shisui and Itachi, two Uchiha geniuses, both here, along with Fugaku, if we can keep them all here, we can minimize the threat from the Uchiha clan.

But with only these few people, it would be difficult to keep them here.

Thinking of this, Danzo looked grimly in the direction of the Hidden Cloud Village ninjas.

If it weren't for the sudden shift in the allegiance of the Cloud Village barbarians, the combined forces of Root and Cloud Village...

It's probably hard to say...

Danzo glanced at Susanoo, who was dominating the arena, and a fleeting look of envy flashed in his eyes.

"Let's retreat."

Danzo flashed away, creating distance, and without caring about the lives of his subordinates, turned and headed towards the village.

"Don't even think about escaping!"

Fugaku's eyes flashed with a chilling light, and his dark red Susanoo slammed down again, sending several more Root ninjas flying.

"team leader!"

Shisui instinctively wanted to step forward, knowing that the Mangekyou Sharingan was being used up: "Danzo has already retreated."

"Too naive, Shisui."

Fugaku slightly turned his head and looked at the group of people from Kumogakure not far away.

Crimson blood trickled from the corner of his eye, and Fugaku was slightly out of breath; the Kaleidoscope had taken a toll on him.

"If we can't truly make peace with the past, we'll just be repeating the mistakes we made in Konoha."

The dark red Susanoo rose again, and Fugaku's eyes were filled with scarlet blood vessels.

"Remember what I'm about to say, Shisui."

"You must protect everyone in the family."

"Father…"

Itachi looked at Savaya for help: "Mr. Savaya..."

Savaya sighed: "Clan Chief Fugaku, the Raikage intends for the Uchiha to become Naruto's future right-hand man, so there's no need to rush this matter."

That's because Naruto is strong enough...

Furthermore, he himself didn't care about Konoha.

"Mr. Savaya, there are only two things in this world that are eternal: love and hate."

Fugaku smiled, thinking of his clansmen who always liked to talk about glory.

"The Uchiha have been in Konoha for too long, and some of them will always miss the past, whether it's emotions, glory, or something else. And those who miss the past will not easily accept the future."

Fugaku's gaze swept across Itachi, Shisui, and Inahisa's faces one by one.

"Glory, pride... these words are too decadent for the Uchiha. I hope to define this clan with a new word, such as the future? So even if it means perpetuating hatred..."

"Father…"

As Itachi gazed at the smile on Fugaku's face, his nose tingled, and tears welled up in his eyes.

"Keep my eyes safe, Itachi."

Fugaku smiled gently and turned to chase after Danzo in the direction he had left.

"Sasuke and your mother are in your care..."

……

Meanwhile, outside Kumohime Village.

The Uchiha clan is heading to the village under the supervision of the ninjas from Kumogakure.

The relocation was a major undertaking, and to prevent the possibility of espionage, everyone except the children in the clan needed to undergo basic screening and questioning.

However, the possibility of spies in a clan like the Uchiha, where everyone lives together, is indeed not high.

In the original story, Konoha went to great lengths to recruit Itachi, a double agent, even though he was recruited from within the clan. The so-called investigation was just a formality and ended hastily.

"Lord Raikage, this is the Uchiha clan's personal information file. It's all here."

Outside the interrogation room, Tu Tai, carrying a stack of documents, reported to his superior: "Regarding their resettlement... the village can't allocate that many houses for them at the moment."

Tu Tai sounded somewhat embarrassed, explaining that Yunyin Village was surrounded by high mountains and steep peaks, making building houses inherently difficult.

With several hundred more people suddenly appearing, it's really hard to handle.

"Hmm...it is indeed difficult to arrange."

Ai was also a bit of a headache. He had just dug casually, but he never expected to actually bring the Uchiha clan over.

This is the genuine strongest clan in Konoha!

The Hidden Cloud Village has always coveted the Hyuga clan's Byakugan because of its strategic significance, but in terms of ability... the difference between the two is not small. The Hidden Cloud Village also has records of the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Naruto was watching the commotion from the side, and a number of curious ninjas had gathered nearby.

The reason for such curiosity is twofold: firstly, because of the Uchiha clan's renowned reputation throughout the ninja world, and secondly... because of the rumors that the Uchiha clan is full of handsome men and beautiful women!

Although Naruto observed for a long time and found that it was nothing special, most of them were indeed above the standard.

Upon hearing Tsuchikage's words, Naruto turned his head.

"Leave the housing problem to me."

As the saying goes, "See someone off to the west..."

He brought the entire Uchiha clan to Kumogakure; it wouldn't take much longer to build a building.

The buildings in Yunyin are mostly located on the mountain, so the village covers a large area and there are many empty hilltops within the village.

Naruto found a spot that was somewhat lively, but was completely deserted due to its steep terrain. He formed hand seals and slammed his hands heavily on the ground!

Rumble...

The earth trembled, and one after another, thick pillars burst forth from the ground, completely encircling the foot of the mountain.

Countless wooden beams protrude from the sides of the pillars, connecting with each other or being inserted into the mountainside.

Then, from wide to narrow, from large to small, a towering pavilion with orderly layers appeared before people's eyes.

The tall buildings with their bracket sets and flying eaves, layered terraces and pavilions, are arranged in a complex and orderly manner, forming a ring that encircles the mountain peaks in the center.

"This technique is called: Wood Release: Nine-Layered Castle Technique!"
